Daily life in the academy

Yan Qingchen met Bai Zhi's worried eyes, patted her head lovingly, and said softly, "Are you scared and confused? Why are you talking nonsense? I'm naturally fearless of these things."

That's right... Bai Zhi was dizzy from the screams, and only thought that such a cruel scene must be torture for people. She forgot that Yan Qingchen was different from others. He had lived in the palace since he was a child and developed a fearless character.

I just don't know if Mu Bailian will be left with any psychological trauma after this incident. I'll have to observe him carefully then.

As he thought of this, the noise from the cell gradually died down, and the shrill screams turned into pleas for mercy. Bai Zhi and Yan Qingchen looked over there again.

Li Ming was really scared. The intense burning pain made him forget his human dignity for a moment. Mu Bailian looked at his dripping crotch with disgust, took several steps back, turned to look at Li Mantang, and couldn't help but sneer. These two father and son were really cast in the same mold.

"Have you thought it through? Are you now ready to confess your crimes of collusion with the Di Kingdom?"

Li Mantang and Li Ming suddenly looked up at Mu Bailian, their eyes filled with fear, and subconsciously argued, "I didn't..."

Mu Bailian picked up the red-hot iron again. Li Ming immediately changed his tone and said, "No, no, no... I confess, I confess everything..."

"Wouldn't it be better to confess earlier? Why suffer this physical pain?"

...

About half an hour later, Mu Bailian staggered out of the cell, followed by a soldier. Seeing Bai Zhi and Yan Qingchen sitting in the corridor not far away waiting for him, he signaled the soldier to leave.

"Have both of them finished their confession?" Bai Zhi asked curiously.

Mu Bailian sat down beside them, looking proud of his achievements and fame. "That's right, don't you see who I am? The confession has been sent to my grandfather, and the next step is his business."

Seeing that he seemed unaffected, Bai Zhi thought that perhaps the training of the past few months had really made him grow a lot. She was used to thinking about punishment with modern thinking, which seemed to be an exaggeration.

"General Zhenbei, young master, young lady, the general invites you to go to the meeting hall together." A soldier came over hurriedly to report.

Yan Qingchen asked, "Did the general say what it was about?"

The soldier shook his head. "But it seems that the envoys from Yunshui Kingdom have arrived."

The three of them looked at each other, then stood up simultaneously and walked quickly towards the meeting hall.

Inside the meeting hall, the Yunshui Kingdom's envoy sat at the bottom and said respectfully to General Bai, "General, we are here to help end the war between your country and our Yunshui Kingdom as soon as possible."

General Bai frowned and said in a deep voice, "As far as I know, the Di Kingdom doesn't seem to have invaded the Yunshui Kingdom recently. I wonder what your intention is, envoy?"

The envoy quickly stood up, bowed, and said, "General, please don't misunderstand. Although the Di Kingdom has not invaded Yunshui Kingdom at present, they have been oppressing our Yunshui Kingdom with force for a long time. A few months ago, they even openly abducted a noblewoman from our Yunshui Kingdom. This evil behavior has angered the people of Yunshui Kingdom. And the Lord is well aware of the principle that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold, so he sent me with 10,000 soldiers to rescue the northern border of Yan Kingdom."

"Your Majesty is careless, but this matter is of great importance and requires the truth to be reported to our Majesty."

"General, don't worry. Before the Yunshui soldiers set out, the Lord had already exchanged letters with your Majesty. This is the reply." The envoy took out the letter from his arms, stepped forward and presented it to General Bai.

General Bai opened the letter and examined it carefully. Yan Qingchen and others happened to arrive outside the meeting hall. "General Bai, we are here."

"come in."

The three of them entered the meeting hall and found several unfamiliar faces standing inside. Judging from their attire and appearance, they seemed to be from the Yunshui Kingdom. Just as they were wondering, General Bai spoke up, "Qingchen, come over and take a look at this reply letter."

When Yan Qingchen walked over to take the letter and read it carefully, Bai Zhi and Mu Bailian also found a seat and sat down.

"This reply is genuine." After reading the reply, Yan Qingchen understood the purpose of the Yunshui Kingdom envoy standing in the hall. The smile on his face deepened. "Yunshui Kingdom's move is truly a timely help. This time we will definitely defeat Di Kingdom."

General Bai and Yan Qingchen exchanged a few words with the envoy from Yunshui Kingdom, and then the envoy introduced Mu Yanhua, the general of Yunshui Kingdom, and the two sides had a very pleasant conversation.

...

A month later, only 30,000 of the 100,000 soldiers of the Di State were left. The monarch of the Di State sent someone to deliver a letter asking for peace. Since then, the Yan State, Di State and Yunshui State started tripartite negotiations.

The war was settled, and Yan Qingchen and Mu Bailian finally didn't have to go to the battlefield anymore. After coming down from the battlefield, they went straight to the general's mansion, but unexpectedly saw two unexpected people.

"Azhe, how come you appear in Jiumen City?" Mu Bailian suddenly walked forward and hugged him.

Wenzhe was a little breathless in his embrace, his face flushed red. Chu Youyou hurriedly called out anxiously: "Mu Bailian, you're almost holding me to death, please let go."

Mu Bailian then reluctantly let go of Wenzhe, glanced at Chu Youyou, then turned to Wenzhe and asked, "Why is she here too?"

"Uh..." Wenzhe's blush, which had just faded, covered his entire face again. He took Chu Youyou's hand and said, "I took over the compilation of geographical records from the King of Qi. However, there are very few ancient books about Jiumen City and Yishui City, so I wrote to His Majesty and came to the Northern Territory. A month ago, Youyou and I got engaged. She was worried about me coming to the Northern Territory alone, and she missed Ah Zhi very much, so she begged me to bring her with me."

"What?" Mu Bailian's gaze shifted between the two men. After finally noticing the sticky atmosphere between them, he turned to Yan Qingchen in disbelief and complained, "Brother Yan... look at Ah Zhe, he has no moral principles..."

"Wait...what do you two mean?" Mu Bailian stared at Yan Qingchen and Bai Zhi's tightly clasped hands, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

Chu Youyou chuckled and said, "Mu Bailian, you're too stupid. Ah Zhi and His Royal Highness have been in the Northern Territory for so long, and you've only just discovered their relationship now?"

Mu Bailian's eyes were dazed. "What's the relationship... Aren't they just brothers, siblings...?"

Yan Qingchen patted Mu Bailian's shoulder soothingly. "Bai Lian, I know you can't accept it right now, but I thought you'd understand once you left. Earlier, I was acting intimately with Ah Zhi, and I saw that you didn't seem to have any objections. General Bai also knew about this."

"That's right." Bai Zhi agreed.

"But... you two were very close when you were at Yunlu Academy... and also in Sheng'an City... Could it be that..."

Mu Bailian realized it belatedly. When he saw Yan Qingchen and Bai Zhi nodding in tacit understanding, he felt like the sky had fallen and squatted down with his head in his hands.

How could this happen...Everyone...He's the only one left...

The four of them smiled at each other, patted Mu Bailian's shoulders soothingly, and walked towards the inner courtyard hand in hand, leaving Mu Bailian alone, feeling frustrated and doubting his life.

But before they had gone far, Mu Bailian caught up with them, stopped them in front of them, and said angrily: "Okay, you two are coming together. I also want to find a confidante..."

Bai Zhi pushed him away and told Wenzhe and Youyou to continue walking forward, saying, "Okay, Miss Ying'er asked you what you like to eat yesterday. Why don't you try it?"

Wenzhe asked curiously, "Who is Miss Ying'er?"

"Miss Ying'er is indeed pretty, but she has a very aggressive personality. I like gentle women... My aunt is very gentle..." Mu Bailian thought for a moment and replied.

Yan Qingchen: "A few days ago, I received a letter from my uncle, saying that the Yunshui Kingdom is interested in marrying the princess to the Yan Kingdom. Would you like to try it?"

"Princess? Or a princess from another country? What if we can't eat together?"

"Why do you have so many questions? If you like it, then forget it."

"Isn't marriage a lifelong thing?"

The voices of the five people chatting and laughing grew fainter and fainter, and their wonderful future continued...
