I'm already dressed like a fool, what's wrong with taking the regent into the bridal chamb

"Humph!"

When the matter of money was mentioned, Wen Qingzhi became even angrier.

I have helped him so many times, and many times it was linked to money, but what was the result?

When did he give it to you?

"Your credibility with me is 0."

She said unhappily, her eyes also falling on the group of people shouting and cursing below the city, "You just let him curse you like this?"

She walked to the edge of the city wall and looked down.

I saw a group of people banging on the city gate with all their might. Judging from the situation, it wouldn't be long before the gate was knocked open.

"The city gate won't hold out for much longer. Are you sure you won't fight back?"

"It's a waste of Zhou Lingfei's talent to be a city lord here. I need someone like him by my side."

He said something puzzling, "If I take him away directly, it will cause dissatisfaction among many people. If he achieves military merit, he will naturally win over the people."

Having said this, Wen Qingzhi gradually understood what Feng Junxiao wanted to do.

"You...are not here for disaster relief, but for Zhou Lingfei?"

Seeing her suddenly understand, Feng Junxiao smiled, "You're not that stupid."

"you--"

She was about to say something when several black shadows rushed out from beside him and jumped down from the city wall. The next second, wailing sounds came from below.

She looked down hurriedly and saw that all the southern barbarian soldiers who were banging on the door had been killed.

At the city gate, three men in black stood, holding long swords, with blood spreading on the swords and dripping onto the ground.

"Intruders, step forward and die!"

Feng Junxiao jumped onto the city wall and looked down at his prey from above. He said to Wen Qingzhi, "Look at the war horses they are riding. Aren't they good looking?"

"I don't understand horses."

"That's a Fiery Blood Horse, a breed unique to the northern part of the Beiming Sea. It has strong and powerful limbs. Although it's shorter than an average warhorse, it's well-suited for short bursts of sprinting."

"They are agile and quick, making them excellent war horses for charging."

The unique horse breed of Beiming is under the barbarian's crotch, which is enough to prove that Beiming has gradually been disintegrated and become someone else's possession in a place where the current emperor cannot see.

"Beiming's unique warhorse has become the enemy's crotch/underbone, haha..."

Wen Qingzhi chuckled twice, "It sounds a bit embarrassing."

While the two were talking, the southern barbarians did not launch an attack. I don't know if they were afraid, but were still observing them.

Feng Junxiao ignored her and asked, "Who do you think will come to support first? The closest to Jiangcheng are Wushuangcheng and Lincheng. The next closest are Huaicheng and Nancheng."

"On the surface, the Dead Cities are all loyal to Bei Ming. But in reality... who will they be loyal to?"

Feng Yunxiao boredly played with the jade pendant in his hand and said, "This jade pendant with dragon pattern can command all of my soldiers. How about we use it as a prize?"

Wen Qingzhi looked over and saw that the jade pendant was crystal clear and was obviously made of high-quality material.

"This kind of jade pendant is found in many wealthy families. How can you be sure that the other person will recognize it as yours?"

Feng Junxiao raised his eyebrows, "You are quite clever."

He came down from the city wall, took her hand, and placed the jade pendant in her palm. "This kind of jade is abundant in the world. The only ones who might have dragon patterns on it are the emperor and me. The emperor's piece is yellow dragon jade, and it has impurities."

"Are there impurities in the things the emperor uses?"

Hearing this, Feng Junxiao's eyes flickered a few times without any explanation.

"To bet or not to bet?"

I guess Feng Junxiao is the only one who remained calm and started a gambling game when the enemy was at the gates.

"No gambling."

Wen Qingzhi refused, "I'm not familiar with that damn Zuo City, and I don't know who will come to help. I only know that if they attack in one fell swoop, we won't be able to stop them."

She stuffed the jade pendant into Feng Yunxiao's hands, chose a new position to set up the Barrett, and was ready to blow the opponent's leader's head apart at any time.

Feng Yunxiao felt frustrated for the first time.

If it were someone else, seeing this jade pendant, their eyes would probably pop out.

But Wen Qingzhi...didn't care.

Is this jade pendant not tempting enough?

still is……

She looks down on the elite soldiers under her command?

After thinking it over, he walked over to Wen Qingzhi and asked, "You said it's a weapon, how do you use it?"

Wen Qingzhi paused and asked, "Which city will you attack to get support?"

"Why, do you want to get some information?"

"boring."

Wen Qingzhi glanced at him and observed the enemy situation again.

"I bet on Wushuang City and Nancheng. The mayors of these two cities will bring troops to support us."

"how long?"

"The earliest would be tomorrow, right?"

"..."

There are many doubts about this matter.

At first, Wen Qingzhi didn't think much about it, but now all the questions came to her mind all at once.

Normally, Jiangcheng strictly guards the border and sends victory reports back to Beijing every month.

If soldiers on the border were transferred one after another, it would be impossible for the capital to not know about it.

There should be changes to varying degrees in food and military pay.

Besides, mobilizing border soldiers is no small matter.

The Southern Barbarians have always been eyeing us covetously. How can we allow them to transfer people away without attacking?

If it were her, when she learned that the other side was short of troops, she would weigh the pros and cons immediately.

If the chances of winning are higher, she will attack.

Judging from the current situation, Jiangcheng has been like this for a long time, and the Nanman people must be completely unaware of it.

Furthermore, if someone were to collude with the Nanman, the news of Jiangcheng's shortage of personnel would be immediately reported to the Nanman Emperor.

So, why is that?

At present, all signs show that things are unreasonable, even outrageous.

Just like now, if the Southern Barbarians were willing to attack the city in one fell swoop, no matter how powerful Feng Yunxiao's people were, they would not be able to defeat them with thousands of people.

But they just want a little bit at a time and come here to die.

If the enemy troops had not gathered together and were not so aggressive, Wen Qingzhi would have suspected... that they were fighting a fake war.

Wen Qingzhi looked at the enemy and then at Feng Yunxiao.

The other party still acted calm and composed, still looking as if he was looking down on the world.

She looked at Zhou Lingfei again, only to see that he looked very nervous, fearing that the other party would attack the city.

Suddenly, she was furious and felt ridiculous.

"You really know how to play."

She simply put away the Barrett and turned away. She shouldn't have worried about the lives of Feng Junxiao and his group.

Seeing her leave angrily, Feng Junxiao laughed out loud, as if he was happy after his conspiracy succeeded.

When she returned to the tent, she saw Fang Qingbai, who had been knocked unconscious by her before she was about to open the space. He was still sleeping.

Wen Qingzhi opened the space again, released all the children, and agreed with them to keep this matter secret.

The children were very sensible and nodded in agreement.

Wen Qingzhi was not afraid that they would tell others. As long as she didn't admit to such an unreal thing, it would be fine.

"Master, you look unwell, what happened?"

Chang Baicao glanced at the city wall and saw Feng Yunxiao and others still standing on it.

"Xiao Chang, it seems we've been plotted against."

"Plan?"

"Ah."

Wen Qingzhi found a pot and started a fire. "It's almost time for dinner. Let's eat first."

Wen Qingzhi's relaxed expression at this moment made Chang Baicao feel relieved.

He asked the children to pick up some broken wooden boards to use as a table, while he went to find ingredients to cook.

Just as the water boiled, someone came over from the other side of the city wall and said, "Miss Wen, the Regent asked you to cook more food because everyone will be eating soon."?

Wen Qingzhi rolled her eyes at him and told him to figure it out for himself.

She went to a secluded place and took out a chicken from the small refrigerator at home to cook.

Now that things have come to this, I must not let my stomach down.
