Yan Longyi wore a mask on his face and followed Si Yan quietly, heading all the way to the special envoy.

Jia Zhongchun was placed under house arrest in a large tent not far from the main tent of the central army, and was protected by Prince Yong's men. Because he cursed Prince Yong from time to time, he was tied to a chair with a cloth stuffed in his mouth.

Outside, thick smoke billowed and shouts of killing shook the sky. Several soldiers from the Beimang Kingdom took advantage of the situation and rushed over.

Jia Zhongchun knocked over a chair and twisted his body to move out. An enemy rushed into the tent and saw him running away.

Without a word, the enemy swung his sword and stabbed him in the heart.

Jia Zhongchun sighed deeply and closed his eyes in despair, thinking that he was doomed to die.

Suddenly, a sword pierced through the enemy's chest from behind, and with a "bang", the enemy fell to the ground.

Jia Zhongchun suddenly opened his eyes and saw a heroic woman in white before him.

Si Yan strode forward, lifted Jia Zhongchun up along with the chair, and untied him.

Jia Zhongchun only felt that the woman in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was for a moment.

After Si Yan rescued the man, he didn't say much, but only said to Yang Ke: "Protect Lord Jia well."

After she finished speaking, she waved her sleeves and left.

Jia Zhongchun couldn't help but ask, "May I ask your name, young lady?"

When Yan Longyi heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, remembering that he had asked A Yan's name in the same way before.

Si Yan's expression was cold: "Situ's daughter, Si Yan."

Jia Zhongchun opened his lips slightly and said, "She looks so familiar. She is actually the daughter of Lord Situ."

However, he is now forced to rely on the Imperial Noble Consort and the Prime Minister's faction. Why would the people in the Situ Mansion save him?

"Why did Miss Si save me?" Jia Zhongchun asked.

"For Daxuan."

"Then why did Miss Si have someone gag me earlier?"

Although Jia Zhongchun didn't see Si Yan at that time, when he heard someone calling "Miss Si", it must be this Si Yan.

"It's also for Daxuan." Si Yan replied softly.

Jia Zhongchun: ...

He didn't understand what Si Yan meant at this time, but he also knew that Si Yan must have his own purpose in saving him.

"Master Jia, let's talk later. I have something important to attend to, so I'll be leaving first."

Jia Zhongchun stood there for a long time without coming back to his senses.

Yan Longyi followed behind Si Yan. When they entered the main battlefield of the central army camp, they heard the soldiers of Daxuan cheering and celebrating their victory.

"Our army has won a great victory!"

"The Beimang Kingdom launched a surprise attack on our army of 20,000 troops, and they were completely wiped out!"

"We won! Hooray!"

The soldiers of Daxuan had never been so happy. The successive victories boosted the morale of the soldiers.

King Yong ordered the slaughter of cattle and sheep so that the soldiers could have a good meal.

In the cold night, Si Yan and Yan Longyi stood beside a bonfire, listening to the soldiers running around to tell each other and celebrating the victory together.

This battle had been planned for a long time, and victory was within Si Yan's expectations. She didn't even enter the main battlefield to participate in the fighting, and the enemy ended up in defeat.

"Ayan is really good at planning and has far-sighted thoughts." Yan Longyi looked at the calm and composed woman beside him and couldn't help but admire her.

"How can I be so far-sighted?" Si Yan turned around and asked with a smile.

"Ayan saved Jia Zhongchun today, which was already a way to plan for what to do after returning to the capital."

Jia Zhongchun may seem unimportant, but if he is used well, he can speak for border affairs after returning to the capital.

"If we don't plan ahead for such a big thing, we will be at the mercy of others." Si Yan replied softly.

She caused such a big commotion at the border, and Prince Yong disobeyed the imperial edict. When she returns to the capital, the imperial concubine and the prime minister's party will definitely find something to hold against them and make a big fuss about it.

Only by making all preparations can she be sure of victory.

Yan Longyi didn't say anything, and the air was filled with joy after the victory of the battle.

He turned his eyes slightly to look at the woman beside him, and after a while, he opened his lips.

"Ayan, I'll be leaving in a moment."

Si Yan turned around and looked at him: "Hasn't everything in the army been arranged?"

"It's been arranged." Yan Longyi smiled slightly, "But it's not appropriate for a grown man like me to stay by your side. The way General Yang looked at me today was as if he wanted to eat me alive. If the soldiers of Daxuan knew that their Prince Yong's fiancée was accompanied by Prince Yan, I'm afraid they would be furious."

"Actually, you don't have to come back. I'm not a weak woman who needs protection."

Si Yan knew that he was here because of her.

"I know." Yan Longyi said softly, his dark eyes filled with reluctance, "But I just wanted to come."

After he left, he was always worried that something might happen to her, but after she came, it turned out that his worries were unnecessary.

This girl is both smart and brave. Anyone who wants to protect her has to line up.

Si Yan didn't say anything, as if something was pressing on his chest.

In all her past and present lives, this was the first time she had felt such strange emotions towards a man.

Ever since I heard what Yan Longyi said last time, his figure has often lingered in my mind.

"Ayan, I'm leaving."

Yan Longyi gently stroked the woman's long hair, lowering his eyes to look at her face, his deep eyes full of tenderness.

"Okay." Si Yan replied softly.

She didn't look at Yan Longyi. She knew without raising her eyes what kind of affection was in this man's eyes.

"Ayan..." Yan Longyi had a thousand words on his lips, but he didn't know how to start.

Some things cannot be expressed in words, but some words cannot be left unsaid.

At this moment, Si Yan seemed to have made up his mind and looked at Yan Longyi: "King Yan, let's talk about this in a few days. When we take Beiyan Pass and the Yan army returns victorious, we can talk about it slowly."

"Okay, okay, Ayan." Yan Longyi was as gentle as the wind, with a smile on the corner of his lips.

Yun Li brought a horse, Yan Longyi grabbed the reins and jumped on, looked at Si Yan deeply, and rode away.

Si Yan stood there, watching the man's back disappear into the cold night.

"What are you looking at, Miss Si?" Qi Ziyu walked up slowly and looked at Si Yan with a smile.

Today's victory was all thanks to this girl's strategic planning and the layers of traps she set that the enemy fell into.

"I didn't see anything. The King of Yan came over. There were some things that were not made clear before, so we just talked about it again."

Qi Ziyu smiled slightly and said nothing.

He already knew that there was a masked man next to A Yan just now.

He also knew that the man was Yan Longyi.

Si Yan raised his eyes and looked at Qi Ziyu: "Your Highness, after we return to the court, there will be many crises. At that time, we may need the help of the King of Yan."

"Little girl, you don't have to explain anything to me." Qi Ziyu looked at Si Yan gently, his gentle eyes full of tolerance like the sea.

"Okay, then I'll go see if the soldiers of the Ordnance Battalion are ready for tomorrow's battle."

"it is good."

In the Beimang army.

That night, the Beimang army raided the Daxuan army and was ultimately defeated.

The 20,000 elite soldiers led by Liang Junshan's fierce general Shi Lei were completely wiped out.

Inside the main tent of the Beimang State's central army, Liang Junshan looked at a soldier who had fought back from a desperate battle, covered in blood, and felt his body shaking.

"General, the Daxuan army had already set an ambush. We fell into the enemy's trap and were completely wiped out."

"Where is General Shi? Is General Shi still alive?" Liang Junshan asked with difficulty, his lips trembling.

"General Shi was struck by several arrows and hacked into pieces by the enemy soldiers of Daxuan."

After the soldier finished speaking, he burst into tears.

The atmosphere in the military tent was heavy, and the generals lowered their heads with red eyes.

Liang Junshan tried his best to calm down and looked at the soldier kneeling on the ground: "Tell me in detail, what exactly is going on?"
