Every time the prince opens his eyes, he sees

Xie Qingchen stood aside, feeling mixed emotions.

Gu Huai and Lu Yaoyao's feelings are so deep that they are willing to give their lives for each other.

"Gu Huai, are you sure? This is not a joke." Xie Qingchen's voice was low and serious.

"I am sure, Your Highness." Gu Huai answered firmly.

Since that was the case, Xie Yanchen said no more.

Lu Yaoyao forced herself to be alert and ordered the military doctor to prepare the tools and medicinal materials needed to transfer the sub-Gu.

The military doctor glanced at Xie Yanchen, and following his eye signal, quickly prepared what Lu Yaoyao needed.

"Are you sure you are ready?" Lu Yaoyao asked Gu Huai again before inserting the needle.

Gu Huai nodded without hesitation, "As long as I can save you, I'm willing to do anything."

"Okay." Lu Yaoyao started to work. She asked the military doctor to help her take off Gu Huai's shirt, revealing his solid chest.

Then, she used a clean dagger to lightly cut Gu Huai's chest. After the blood seeped out, she poured some secret medicine powder on the wound.

She then used another clean dagger to cut her left shoulder, and soon a snow-white insect crawled out of the wound.

The insect seemed to be lured by something and slowly crawled into Gu Huai's body.

This process is extremely difficult. The worms move very slowly and stop moving from time to time.

It was so terrifying that people dared not even breathe, for fear that they would make any noise and alarm the poisonous insect, which would refuse to cooperate and crawl into Gu Huai's body, making him its new host.

Fortunately, after a quarter of an hour, under the gaze of everyone, the sub-Gu finally crawled into the wound on Gu Huai's chest and successfully transferred into Gu Huai's body.

"Gu Huai, how do you feel now?" Lu Yaoyao asked with concern, trying her best.

Gu Huai smiled slightly, his face slightly pale, but his eyes sparkled with life, "I'm fine, I feel fine. How are you feeling?"

"I'm recovering too."

"Doctor Miaofeng, Gu Huai, you two should rest for a while. I will arrange for someone to guard here to ensure your safety."

Seeing the affectionate scene between the two, Xie Qingchen felt an indescribable discomfort and suffocation in his heart.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The two of them thanked him in unison again.

"Yeah." But his true emotions were not visible on his face.

During the days when the two of them were recuperating, Lu Yaoyao took the time to make a bulletproof vest and personally gave it to Xie Qingchen.

"Your Highness, this is clothing I made to protect you from the weapon in the hands of that ghost-faced woman. As long as you wear it close to your body, even if she hits you with her weapon, you will be fine."

"Thank you." Xie Qingchen knew that the thing she specially sent must be a good thing, so he didn't refuse.

After all, he is still leading the troops to fight and attack the Northern Rong, and he will definitely fight with Yelu Qi and the ghost-faced woman again.

"Well, I'll take my leave first."

Lu Yaoyao bowed and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xie Qingchen, "Wait, you..."

"Any other instructions, Your Highness?"

She looked so cold...

Xie Qingchen swallowed what he wanted to say, "Nothing, go back and take good care of Gu Huai. When I return to the capital, I will personally petition the Emperor to grant you a marriage."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Lu Yaoyao bowed respectfully yet distantly.

……

The Jin army led by Xie Qingchen and the Beirong army led by Yelu Qi fought at Shilipo.

Xie Qingchen and Yelu Qi were fighting hard, when the ghost-faced woman suddenly appeared behind a bush of wild thorns.

She took out her homemade musket and was about to shoot Xie Qingchen to death.

But the bullet shot out and hit his back. Xie Qingchen only paused for a moment and continued to fight with Yelu Qi.

When the ghost-faced woman saw this, a hint of astonishment flashed in her eyes.

What happened? Why did he seem to have no reaction when the bullet hit him?

To get the answer, she ventured closer and fired another shot.

But Xie Qingchen still acted as if nothing had happened.

"Witch, you too should have a taste of Dajin's hidden weapons." Qingfeng, who was hiding aside and waiting for the ghost-faced woman to come out, locked onto her position and suddenly threw out the hidden weapon that had been hidden in his palm for a long time.

A hidden weapon is like flowers scattered by a fairy from heaven, making it difficult for people to cope with it.

The ghost-faced woman's attention was focused on the battle between Yelu Qi and Xie Qingchen, and she didn't notice the unusual movements around her.

Hidden weapons were thrown at her. She used her sword to block them, blocking most of them, but one still pierced her arm.

The ghost-faced woman groaned, covered her injured arm and tried to escape.

Qingfeng did not chase after her, but counted silently behind her:

Five, four, three, two...

Before he could even finish his sentence, the ghost-faced woman fell down.

Qingfeng walked over and took off the mask on her face, revealing a beautiful face underneath.

"She's so beautiful, but she's so vicious. She only attacks people from behind. It wouldn't be a pity if she died."

On the other side, Yelu Qi had also been defeated by Xie Qingchen.

He fled in panic with his remaining troops.

……

Beirong military camp.

"Where's Liyin? Why can't I see her? Today, this general deliberately set up a trap to lure the Crown Prince of Dajin here. I originally wanted Liyin to secretly kill the Crown Prince of Dajin with a musket, but in the end, I didn't even see her shadow. I lost and was humiliated by the Crown Prince of Dajin again."

"General," a deputy general hurried out to report, "We've searched everywhere nearby, but haven't seen any of Military Advisor Liyin's men. How about we expand the search area?"

"Go find it now." Yelu Qi shouted angrily.

Not long after, the deputy general came back to report, "General, we found Military Advisor Liyin in a dense forest near the battle between us and the Great Jin."

As he spoke, Liyin was carried in.

The black color covered her entire body, making her look extremely twisted and ugly.

Only those pair of shiny black eyes were filled with deep affection for Yelu Qi.

"General, I..." She was already having difficulty speaking. She raised her hand and tried hard to touch Yelu Qi's face.

Yelu Qi squatted down and hugged her in his arms, "Arong, why is it you?"

"It's me. I know you must be disgusted by me, so I dare not meet you with my true face and have always worn a mask. But I truly love you. I have no regrets dying for you."

"Who hurt you?" Yelu Qi said with great sorrow, and there was a hint of pain in his eyes which had always been ruthless and fierce.

"They're from the Great Jin." Shen Rong took a breath and said wistfully, "General, I really want to go back ten years, to the day we first met. If I hadn't misunderstood you then, would we not have ended up in such a tragic way?"

"No, you won't die. I will find the best doctor to treat you right away." Yelu Qi hugged Su Rong tightly, but she eventually died in his arms.

"Ah...ah..." Yelu Qi's heart-wrenching roar resounded throughout the Beirong military camp.

Without Su Rong, his military advisor, he was defeated by Xie Qingchen, who was more cunning and resourceful in all aspects of his mind.
