The girl traveled through another world and forced the prince to take the imperial examination

These words were like a spark, instantly igniting Chang Youliang's rage. He gripped his sword tightly and pulled it out of its sheath with force. A flash of cold light appeared, and Chang Youliang lunged at Yun Qing with rage and murderous intent, his movements extremely swift.

Yun Qing only smiled coldly. In his eyes, it was nothing special. He didn't even bother to unsheathe his Qingcheng Sword. He held the sword with one hand and gently swung it in a sword flower. This seemingly casual block actually easily neutralized Chang Youliang's move.

Chang Youliang couldn't believe it. He had never thought that he was so young and had such amazing martial arts skills. "Who are you? How did you get into the military camp?"

He was talking and fighting here, making such a big noise, but why was it so quiet outside?

How could he know that Yun Qing only brought three hundred people with him, cleared the sentries, changed into their clothes and armor, and now those patrolling and standing guard were all his men.

"You good-for-nothings, you still want to stop me? You're just wishful thinking."

Chang Youliang became even more furious after hearing this. He roared and slashed with his sword, using all his strength, the power was astonishing.

Yun Qing didn't dodge or evade, shielding his chest with the Qingcheng Sword. Chang Youliang's sword was already in front of him, and Yun Qing used his scabbard to pick it up. Chang Youliang's sword struck the scabbard with a crisp sound, and his sword was knocked away.

Chang Youliang was in a panic and swung his bare hands at Yunqing. Yunqing leaped into the air, waited for him to get close, and then kicked him in the chest. Chang Youliang was unable to dodge and was kicked back, hitting the table.

With a loud crash, the table fell to the ground and Chang Youliang spat out a mouthful of blood.

Yun Qing took a few steps forward, and the Qingcheng sword was against his chest. A bone-chilling chill came from the sword, and Chang Youliang's heart instantly felt like it was falling into an icy pond.

"Hand over the military token!"

"Delusion! I don't believe... I don't believe you can kill me..."

Yun Qing curled his lips and sneered: "You can try!"

He held the Qingcheng Sword in his hand and pulled it out of its sheath with force! The snow-like blade shone with a bright blue light, and when it cut through the air, it brought a biting chill. A silver light cut through the darkness, and wherever the edge passed, there seemed to be wind, snow and frost.

Even the dying Chang Youliang couldn't help but exclaim, "What a truly remarkable sword!" He thought to himself, "This sword must be swift. It shouldn't hurt to cut someone's neck." Chang Youliang closed his eyes.

"Your Highness, spare his life!" Someone outside shouted loudly. Meng Yun and Mo Xue drew their swords, ready to fight.

"Pei Family Army, Yu Haifeng, a subordinate of Major General Pei, wishes to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" After the man announced his name, he knelt on one knee outside the central army tent.

Yun Qing frowned. He had heard of Yu Haifeng's name. He was the adopted son of Marquis Pei and a general trained by the old marquis himself.

Unfortunately, more than a decade ago, he followed Pei Jingyuan into the enemy's territory and died in battle with him. How could Yu Haifeng be here?

Yun Qing put away the Qingcheng Sword and walked to the door of the tent. He saw a big man kneeling on the open ground. He was wearing the coarse linen clothes of ordinary people. It was dark and his appearance could not be seen clearly.

"What evidence do you have to prove that you are Yu Haifeng?"

Yu Haifeng took something out of his arms and raised it above his head: "This is the Pei Family Army token and a jade pendant. Please take a look, Your Highness."

Meng Yun walked over, took the two items, and presented them to Yun Qing. Yun Qing had seen both of them before. The token was genuine; Pei Yanche had one in his hand. The other was a round jade pendant, with the word "Pei" carved on the front and the words "Haifeng" on the back.

He had heard Pei Yanche mention that when the old marquis was alive, he had obtained a piece of fine jadeite rough stone. He made three jade pendants from the rough stone, one for his eldest son, one for his second son, and the last for his adopted son. Each jade pendant was engraved with their names.

After Master Pei died, the jade pendant was in Pei Yanche's hands. He carried it with him every day, so Yun Qing was very familiar with this jade pendant.

But even with these, Yun Qing still had doubts in his mind. Anyone who was determined could get these two things.

"Get up first and follow me in. I have something to ask you!"

Yun Qing walked into the tent. Meng Yun brought a chair and placed it in front of the sand table. Yun Qing sat down.

Mo Xue had tied the grain into a zongzi with rope. To stop him from yelling, Mo Xue also stuffed a rag into his mouth.

Yu Haifeng was brought in. He first knelt down to salute Yun Qing, who waved her hand, motioning him to stand up and speak.

A light was on in the tent. In the dim glow, Yun Qing finally got a clear look at Yu Haifeng's face. He was a burly man with a broad back and broad shoulders. His beard stood out like needles. His skin was tan and shiny, and he looked energetic. His age was hard to tell, but his piercing eyes suggested he was probably under forty.

After Yu Haifeng saluted Yun Qing, he stood respectfully before Yun Qing, allowing him to examine him. Meanwhile, he also inadvertently and secretly observed the other people in the tent.

Needless to say, Yun Qing's appearance was amazing. When Yu Haifeng saw Mo Xue behind Yun Qing, he was stunned for a moment, then looked at him a few more times in confusion.

When Yun Qing saw him, he was convinced that this person was Yu Haifeng. He returned the token and jade pendant and asked him, "Are you here for him?"

He was referring to Chang Youliang. Yu Haifeng glanced at Chang Youliang lying on the ground with a hint of disgust in his eyes.

"Your Highness, this man indeed deserves death. However, there's no need to dirty your sword. I will punish him according to the Pei Family Army's military regulations. I'm here under the orders of our Major General to assist you, Your Highness!"

"What?" Yun Qing jumped up from his chair. "What did you say? Your Major General? You, the Major General you're talking about is Pei Jingyuan?"

Yu Haifeng smiled, his two rows of white teeth standing out against his dark face.

Yun Qing sat back in his chair and breathed a sigh of relief, as if a huge stone had fallen from his heart. His aunt's lover, the second master of the Pei family, was still alive.

"What on earth happened? General Pei is still alive. Why doesn't he return to the capital and the Pei family?"

Yu Haifeng's eyes dimmed a little. "Back then, when the Emperor's secret letter about Princess Shao Yue's marriage arrived at the border, my young general was like crazy and wanted to return to the capital. My adoptive father knew he couldn't stop him, so he agreed to let him go back to the capital, and asked me to go with him."

Old Marquis Pei had his own plans. He knew that this was the emperor's plot to force the Pei family army to rebel, so that everyone in the world would despise them as traitors and he could justifiably attack them.

To protect the Pei army and its descendants, the old marquis decided to risk his life by leading his troops deep into enemy territory and engaging them in a decisive battle. Even if he couldn't win, this would at least deplete the enemy's strength, rendering them unlikely to declare war again for decades. This was his last service to the Great Qi, and for the sake of his descendants' survival, he was willing to die.

Pei Jingyuan was unaware of his father's decision, as he only wanted to save his beloved. When he quietly returned to the capital, he realized that the world had changed. Some things could not be reversed no matter how hard they tried.

Just like Shao Yue wanted to marry for the sake of the people of Daqi. Faced with the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, her own life and death was nothing. What's more, Xiao Qing faced great love, sacrificing herself in exchange for hundreds of thousands of lives.

At this moment, the news of Pei Jingyuan and the old marquis's death reached the capital.

Pei Jingyuan was heartbroken. It was because of his stubbornness that he not only failed to rescue his princess, but also cost his father's life.

Yu Haifeng sighed, "Jing Yuan refused to forgive himself. He locked himself up and refused to eat or drink. Later, Princess Shao Yue came to see him secretly. They talked all night. After dawn, the princess returned to the palace. Jing Yuan decided to go to Fuzhou. From then on, he changed his name to Wei Ting and became a guard at Xiaoyue Villa in Fuzhou."

Yun Qing felt a mixture of emotions, and even more bitterness in his heart. He understood why Pei Jingyuan chose to hide in Xiaoyue Villa. It must be because Emperor Yong'an was also hiding in Xiaoyue Villa!

Yun Qing's grip on the sword tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened again, and he turned to look at Mo Xue. Mo Xue was puzzled by the look.

"Master, what's the matter?"

Yun Qing's eyes were misty and red at the corners: "Xiaoxue, I finally found your father!"

"My dad? You're talking about... him?" Mo Xue pointed at Yu Haifeng in disbelief.
