Shangguan Rui brought Shen Xue to his tent. There were several cakes on the table. He poured her a cup of hot water and said, "Xiaoxue, try some. Is it delicious? I specially ordered someone to bring this back from Youzhou."

Shen Xue looked at the cakes on the table, and a feeling of emotion welled up in her heart. She picked up a cake and took a bite. The sweetness of the cake spread in her mouth, and she couldn't help but smile.

"Is it tasty?"

Shangguan Rui looked at Shen Xue's smile and felt very happy in his heart.

"It's delicious. Thank you, Brother Yunrui. Can I still call you Brother Yunrui now?"

"Of course. I'm still me, but my name is Shangguan Rui. From now on, you can call me Brother Rui. 'Yun' is the taboo name of the Emperor's uncle. Younger generations cannot call him by his first name, otherwise it would be disrespectful."

Shen Xue smiled sweetly, her eyes narrowed into slits, and she said softly, "Okay."

“Cute little bean bun.”

Shen Xue lowered her head shyly and whispered, "Brother Rui, please keep making fun of me. I'm not a little dumpling."

Shangguan Rui looked at the shy and lovely Shen Xue and couldn't help but pinch her face gently, then touched her head. "You are still as cute as before, so attractive."

"Brother Rui, please stop talking. I feel embarrassed."

"Okay, okay, don't tell me."

"Uncle Jiu, how is his condition?"

"Silly girl, can't you see? This is Uncle Jiu's plan to trick your eldest sister into coming to the military camp."

Shen Xue was shocked and said, "Ah! Uncle Jiu, how could he do this? This is so abominable. We were so worried when we knew he was poisoned, and he actually lied to us. This is too much."

"It wasn't entirely a lie. He was indeed shot, but that arrow struck the tassel of the sword your eldest sister gave him. Otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous."

"The sword tassel given by my eldest sister saved Uncle Jiu's life. When I have time, I will buy you one too to keep you safe."

"I like everything you give me. I've always kept the purse you gave me in my arms."

"Sister, she must be angry. I don't know what's wrong. I'll go check on her right away."

"Uncle Jiu, I'm trying to cheer up your eldest sister. If you go there, their misunderstandings haven't been resolved yet. Do you think your eldest sister will be unhappy?"

Shen Xue shook her head to indicate that she didn't want to.

"Uncle Jiu also wants to confuse the enemy, so he uses their tactics. Please come over."

"You guys have to go back to your hometown to celebrate the New Year too. It's great that you can celebrate with us."

"Brother Rui, is military life hard? You've become darker and thinner."

"I'm sure I'll be darker if I'm exposed to the wind and sun every day outside. After the New Year, Uncle Jiu won't let me train with the soldiers, so I'll be white."

"I'm learning medicine from my master. I'll go to the military doctor's tent and help out later!"

"Alright, go back early."

At this time, Leng Xin came in and reported: "Third Prince, the prince has sent someone to tell you to go to the city wall to defend the city. The enemy is attacking the city again."

Shangguan Rui angrily shouted, "Isn't this Rong Che done yet?"

"Leng Xin, from now on you and Bei Ze will protect Xiao Xue's safety."

"Yes."

"Brother Rui, they are your guards. They will follow you to the city wall to protect your safety. I am safe with the military doctor."

"Be obedient, I can only feel at ease if you are safe."

"Okay! Be careful."

Shangguan Rui touched her head and said softly: "Go!"

"I am leaving."

Shangguan Rui walked out of the tent and said coldly to the shadow guard: "Leng Xi, when you pass the message to the emperor, you should know what to say and what not to say."

"I know."

"That's good to know. This prince hopes that nothing Xiaoxue does in the military camp will be reported to the palace, otherwise I will not forgive you."

"I humble my duty and obey my orders."

Shen Xue came to the military doctor's tent. Leng Xin and Beize were guarding the door. She saw Ye Gucheng was busy bandaging the wounds of the wounded.

"Master, what should I do?"

"Go check the wounds of the soldiers over there. Leave the serious injuries to me, and take care of the minor injuries yourself. Do you know how to deal with it?"

"know."

He was very nervous at the beginning, but he quickly got into the state and carefully treated the wounds of each injured soldier, and his movements became more and more skilled.

Shangguan Yunting stood on the city wall, watching the enemy troops slowly approaching from a distance, and a feeling of heroic ambition surged in his heart.

He turned to General Ji and General Deng and said, "General Ji, General Deng, follow me into battle. Today, I will make sure they never return!"

"I will obey your orders!"

"General Fan and Rui'er must hold the city walls. There must be no mistakes."

"I humble my duty and obey my orders."

The three of them led the soldiers out of the city gate and stood face to face with Rong Che, the second prince of Beiyan.

Rong Che, clad in golden armor and holding a sword, stood tall and straight, like a god of war. His eyes were firm and sharp as he stared across at Shangguan Yunting.

Shangguan Yunting was dressed in silver armor that shone brightly in the sunlight. He stood tall and majestic, like a god of war descended from the sky.

His helmet is inlaid with a dazzling gem, adding to his majesty.

Holding a long sword, the sword blade flashed with cold light, as if eager for a fight.

His eyes were firm and sharp, revealing a fearless courage.

"Prince Mu, how are you?"

"Thank you for your concern, Second Prince. I am fine. But you may not be doing well."

Rong Che said fiercely: "Shangguan Yunting, hand over General Chu and I will let you return to the camp, otherwise..."

"What can you do to me?"

"Let me show you how powerful this prince is."

"We'll see."

At his command, the soldiers let out deafening shouts and immediately started fighting towards the enemy camp. The battle was extremely fierce.

Shangguan Yunting brandished his sword and killed several enemy soldiers in succession.

Upon seeing this, Rong Che personally went into battle and engaged in a fierce battle with Shangguan Yunting.

The two men's swordsmanship was so sharp that it was difficult to tell who would win.

General Ji and General Deng led their soldiers and fought bravely, engaging in a desperate battle with the enemy.

The battlefield was filled with smoke and the smell of blood.
