Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chu Yueli first met Tuoba Feiyuan when Tuoba Feiyuan attempted to assassinate her fiancé Lu Fengjin.

When Tuoba Feiyuan was captured, Lu Fengjin not only did not punish her, but also felt that this female assassin was very different from ordinary girls.

"You are Tuoba Hu's daughter?" Lu Fengjin narrowed his eyes, staring at the ragged and disheveled little girl in front of him. "Raise your head and let me see you."

Lu Fengjin is the God of War Prince of Dongling, and all the soldiers in the army obey his every command.

Only this girl before him, facing his anger, remained neither humble nor arrogant, displaying an air of haughtiness:

"Kill me or torture me, it's all up to you. If I, Tuoba Feiyuan, even flinch, I am not worthy of being the daughter of a desert warlord!"

Her unyielding spirit and proud demeanor left a deep impression on Lu Fengjin.

Lu Fengjin grabbed her chin and lifted her dirty little face: "How dare you be so insolent in front of me! You really aren't afraid of death!"

"Let me go!" Unable to break free, Tuoba Feiyuan could only glare at him angrily: "You dog of a man, if you have the guts, then kill me!"

Lu Fengjin was not angry at being scolded; instead, his thin lips curled up: "You are the first woman who dares to scold me. Ha! Interesting!"

Chu Yue felt a sudden, inexplicable tightening in her heart.

The conversation between the two made her feel like she was playing a supporting role.

Later, Lu Fengjin's actions made her realize this even more clearly.

She truly became a part of their love-hate relationship—

In order to get Tuoba Feiyuan to reveal the remaining followers of Tuoba Hu, Lu Fengjin imprisoned Tuoba Feiyuan and interrogated him personally.

Meanwhile, Lu Fengjin had just defeated Tuoba Hu and was ordering his troops to reorganize, and he would soon be returning to the capital in triumph.

Chu Yueli was the strategist. After winning the battle, she had nothing to do. Every day, besides reading, she did needlework.

Her wedding date with Lu Fengjin is set for the first day of next month, a marriage arranged by her parents before their deaths.

From childhood to adulthood, she and Lu Fengjin were a perfect couple, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, envied by everyone.

Chu Yueli was very much looking forward to the wedding, and even wanted to sew her wedding dress by hand.

Lu Fengjin seems to be very busy lately. At first, he could come back every day to have meals with her, but later, he couldn't see her for a whole day.

The men below said that they had been clearing out the remaining forces of Tuoba Hu these days, and that they were riding Tuoba Feiyuan across the desert every day, trying to force her to reveal the hiding place of the remaining Tuoba clan members.

It is said that Tuoba Feiyuan had a very bad temper and was even fearless in the face of death at the beginning.

"Since you were ready to die for your cause, why did you later betray the remnants of your family?" Chu Yueli asked casually as her maid Zisu came to gossip.

Zisu replied, "It is said that the prince finally persuaded her to understand that those people who harmed the people of the border town were not good people, so she put aside her own family for the greater good."

"So, Tuoba Feiyuan actually did something?" Chu Yueli slowed down her needlework slightly, but then continued sewing.

Zisu snorted coldly, "Her father is a notorious bandit. Even if she makes a contribution, it won't outweigh her crimes. However, the prince is a powerful and ruthless man, and he won't hold a grudge against a little girl. If she is willing to expose the remaining members of the gang, the prince will probably not punish her."

Chu Yueli remained silent.

Zisu, who couldn't sit still, couldn't help but complain again: "But that Tuoba Feiyuan has such a bad temper, he even tore up the prince's most beloved military book."

"Oh?" Chu Yueli raised an eyebrow. "The Prince isn't angry?"

"At first, he was definitely angry and even imprisoned her, but later, for some reason, he released her. After she was released, Miss, guess what? Tuoba Feiyuan went even further and even stabbed the soldier who had gone to besiege her father."

Chu Yueli's face darkened, her expression becoming somewhat grave: "How should Your Highness deal with her?"

A little girl can cause minor trouble, but injuring soldiers is a serious crime!

If no one is punished, how can the public be convinced?

Zisu said angrily, "The prince said that after all, she had just experienced the destruction of her family, so it was understandable that she was upset and agitated. He only gave her a few light lashes and sent her back to rest."

A sense of unease swept through Chu Yueli's heart.

The general who led the troops to besiege Tuoba Hu was her elder brother, Chu Xiaohe.

Before Chu Yueli could say anything, there was a sudden, urgent knocking at the door: "Miss Li, something terrible has happened! General Chu is in trouble!"
