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

The last city on the western border is Xiling City, and the general defending the city is Xiling Shuang, the number one female general in Beiming.

Xiling Shuang learned martial arts from a young age and served as a garrison commander in Xiling City with her father. Her courageous and resolute character made her a heroine that many men could not match.

Xiling City has always been a worry-free city. In the past ten years, there has been no news of any disturbance. Furthermore, Xiling City is filled with elite soldiers and generals. How could a mere Rongdi bandit easily invade the border?

In a daze, Feng Junxiao thought about this matter, and the more he thought about it, the more upset he became.

Today, I was so distracted by Chang Lao's death that I forgot to think carefully and got tricked.

Just as he sighed for the third time, Wen Qingzhi slowly opened her eyes and said to him, "Your Highness, please tell me what you want to say. Sighing all the time is ruining your mood."

Hearing this, Feng Junxiao raised his eyes and frowned, "You're sitting in my carriage and you're saying that I'm affecting your mood?"

"..."

It seems that Wen Qingzhi is somewhat in the wrong.

"I remember that it seems more convenient to go to Xiling by water."

Wen Qingzhi rarely had anything to say, so she glanced at Feng Junxiao and asked, "Are we going to the ferry to board the boat?"

"Ah."

Feng Yunxiao nodded, "When the time comes..."

He wanted to say something, but then seemed to remember that there were ears on the other side of the wall, so he didn't continue.

Wen Qingzhi also understood, so she made an excuse, "At this rate, we should reach the nearest ferry in the second half of the night. By then, I'll go pack my things."

"Ah."

Next, the two ignored each other and kept their eyes closed to rest.

When Mu Qian's carriage came to a complete stop, he reported from outside, "Your Highness, we've arrived at the ferry."

The two men looked at each other and got off the carriage to stretch their muscles.

Wen Qingzhi found an excuse to go check on her bag and put it into the space while no one was around.

She walked to the ferry and looked at the endless sea, feeling awe.

"looking at what?"

Feng Yunxiao quietly came to her side and looked at the sea with her. The people behind him carried all the boxes onto the large ship in front of them.

"I think once we're on the boat, we'll be like fish on the chopping board."

She smiled and looked at Feng Junxiao, "What do you think?"

Feng Junxiao stretched his muscles and bones, "Then I can only ask Miss Wen to sit on someone else's chopping board with me."

With just one word, he locked the two of them up.

Wen Qingzhi knew that when Feng Junxiao said this, he was telling her: Even if I die, I will drag you down with me.

She didn't respond, but looked up at the huge wooden boat in front of her, and sincerely admired it in her heart as a masterpiece of craftsmanship.

"Let's go."

After moving all the things, Feng Yunxiao took her on board and arranged for her to rest next to him.

The meaning was obvious. Wen Qingzhi thanked him coldly, then asked Feng Yunxiao to send someone to prepare water, saying that she wanted to take a bath.

The safest time is when the ship is just setting sail.

Those with ulterior motives will not be stupid enough to take action at this time. The best time to take action is when they are halfway through their journey and are isolated and helpless, with no one to help them.

If they took action at that time, they would only die.

Even if you are not killed, there is no chance of survival if you fall into the vast ocean.

Therefore, she chose to take a bath and eat a full meal when she first boarded the ship. After eating and drinking enough, she took a nap.

The hot water arrived quickly. After taking a bath, Wen Qingzhi ate something simple and went to bed.

The nearest ferry from the capital to Xiling City takes at least ten days of sailing. If they want to take action, it will take at least three days of sailing.

Until the third day, Wen Qingzhi didn't take any precautions and ate and drank casually. She and Feng Yunxiao didn't dare say much, fearing that someone might be listening.

Night four.

At night, Wen Qingzhi was reviewing the books left by Chang Baicao, and vaguely heard some noise outside.

She began to become alert, and the hand holding the book gradually tightened, while the other hand gradually reached under the table to hold the poison powder she had hidden long ago.

Next to the poison powder, there was a loaded pistol.

Fortunately, the footsteps outside soon stopped. But she didn't dare to let her guard down. Wen Qingzhi knew in her heart that these people must be preparing to take action.

Just as I was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door.

"Are you asleep?"

Feng Yunxiao's voice suddenly appeared.

"No...anything?"

"Come out, I'll take you to the tent to see the moon."

Wen Qingzhi was startled, put away the books and things under the table, and stood up to open the door.

After opening the door, Feng Yunxiao curled the corners of his lips and raised his hand to reveal the wine jug in his hand. "The moon is beautiful tonight. If you don't look at it, you may never see it again in the future."

After hearing these words, Wen Qingzhi understood that those people were about to take action.

She nodded, "Okay."

The two walked side by side, and a few of the people stationed around them raised their eyes slightly and glanced at them secretly.

When she reached the tent, Wen Qingzhi looked up and saw a bright moon hanging above her head.

The clouds around were very well-behaved, not a single one of them blocked the view.

The warm moonlight fell on the two of them, lengthening their shadows.

In front of them was a table and chairs that had already been prepared. After the two sat down, the chef on the ship brought a few side dishes.

Wen Qingzhi looked at the side dishes in front of her, and after meeting Feng Yunxiao's strange expression, she understood.

This guy pulled me out not to drink, nor to protect himself. He asked me to test the poison for him!

She laughed angrily.

"Your Majesty is truly thoughtful."

After that, she picked up her chopsticks and picked up the food. She carefully inspected each dish and only took a bite after confirming that it was not poisonous.

"This dish isn't as delicious as Sister Li's."

Feng Junxiao picked up his chopsticks and agreed with her, "I just don't know when I can eat Sister Li's cooking again."

"In the next life."

Wen Qingzhi snorted coldly, took the wine jug from him, poured herself some wine and drank it.

Feng Junxiao looked at her in confusion.

Under the moonlight, Wen Qingzhi's originally delicate face was made to look extremely gentle, and the little girl's pinching posture was fully revealed. Feng Junxiao felt more relieved when he saw it.

But the next second, he was no longer happy.

Wen Qingzhi said: "I lied to the prince."

"what?"

Feng Junxiao paused holding the wine glass and looked at her instantly.

The next second, countless figures came with swords, and in an instant, the tent was full of enemies.

Beads of blood were dripping from the tips of their swords, dripping onto the tent, making a harsh sound.

"Ha ha……"

Mu Qian, the leader, stepped forward and looked at Feng Yunxiao with great sarcasm. "Everyone says the Regent is incredibly intelligent, but I don't think so. I've been lurking by your side for so long, replacing Mu Qian, and you didn't even notice. And yet you still dare to call yourself incredibly smart?"
