My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

Although she intimidated everyone with her abilities and made them submit to her, Ji Yunshuang was not very satisfied.

Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, she thought that given their cowardly nature, if they were to actually fight the Qi army, they would be terrified and cry for their parents.

but……

Her gaze swept over the kneeling crowd and landed on Lu Yinheng standing to the side.

He stood straight as a pine tree. Beside him were a dozen or twenty people, whose expressions, like Lu Yinheng's, showed little change.

These people, like Lu Yinheng, clearly possessed some real skills.

Fortunately, not all of the more than one hundred people sent were useless.

This is enough.

"Get up, everyone! Let's continue on our way," Ji Yunshuang said. "What we need to do next is to stop the Qi army before they cross the river."

Upon hearing that their mission was to stop the Qi army from crossing the river, Sun Yong's legs went weak again, and he almost knelt down once more.

He was terrified and muttered cautiously, "Just...just this few people? To stop the Qi army from crossing the river? Is...is this even possible?"

Not to mention Sun Yong and others' suspicions, even Lu Yinheng's brows furrowed.

He knew Ji Yunshuang was formidable, but no matter how formidable she was, she was still just one person. Now, they were facing an entire army.

It's not just about her being capable.

However, he now had a certain understanding of Ji Yunshuang. Her composure was likely due to her having already devised a plan.

Lu Yinheng couldn't help but feel curious.

I wonder how she plans to deal with the Qi army with such a small group of people.

Not only were they curious about Ji Yunshuang's plans to deal with the Qi army, but they were also curious about how she knew Fu Ci and Xie Liang. What was her identity in her past life...?

However, now was not the time to speak, and there were many questions he couldn't ask. Lu Yinheng could only suppress his curiosity.

However, his deep gaze remained fixed on Ji Yunshuang, which still caught Lin Jiong's attention.

Lin Jiong had never met Ji Yunshuang before and was unaware that Ji Yunshuang was Lu Yinheng's nominal wife.

Seeing that Lu Yinheng's gaze was fixed on Ji Yunshuang, he leaned closer and said, "Big brother, I didn't expect this little captain to be not only beautiful but also skilled in martial arts. Have you taken a liking to her?"

Lu Yinheng turned to look at him, giving him a warning look.

It was just a joke, but he didn't expect Lu Yinheng to actually warn him. He asked in surprise, "So you've really taken a liking to him? And you're protecting him now?"

Song Tao had already recognized Lu Yinheng as his elder brother before enlisting in the army.

He was involved in the entire abduction of the girls from the Huang family. He had met Ji Yunshuang in private and knew her true identity.

He quickly pulled Lin Jiong aside and whispered, "Just say less! That's your sister-in-law."

Lin Jiong was completely stunned, utterly dumbfounded. This was his elder brother's wife?

No wonder the eldest brother had such a sour expression on his face when those people were guessing which high-ranking official Ji was the mistress of.

How did he manage to hold back and not slice off those bastards' heads with a single sword stroke?

Lin Jiong had some doubts in his heart, so he asked them aloud.

Song Tao said, "Look at our sister-in-law's skills, does she need her brother to stand up for her?"

Lin Jiong thought about Ji Yunshuang's skills and realized that she didn't need anyone to stand up for her.

"Besides, the one in charge is ultimately our sister-in-law. If our brother were to step in, wouldn't those blind fools think that our sister-in-law is relying on a man?"

Song Tao whispered, "Look at what my sister-in-law just showed off. Now everyone's completely convinced, right?"

Lin Jiong nodded admiringly, "So, Big Brother held back his anger just now for the sake of Sister-in-law's prestige! As expected of Big Brother, he has the whole situation under control."

Hearing about their conversation, Lu Yinheng felt a mix of emotions.

He doesn't actually have the whole situation under his control...

He had a vague feeling that she definitely didn't like him interfering in her affairs.

And she wouldn't need to stand up for her or defend her. She'd probably prefer to solve problems and prove herself through her own abilities...

He couldn't even figure out whether she wanted to sever the superficial relationship between them and completely cut ties with him.

After all, she is really outstanding, and Fu Ci clearly had feelings for her when he looked at her.

If he hadn't fallen for her...

Based on his understanding of Fu Ci, he would not agree to her risky plan.

For the first time, he tasted the unfamiliar feeling of jealousy.

He suppressed his complex emotions and warned the two of them, "We're about to have a tough battle. You two need to focus and not think about anything else."

Upon receiving Lu Yinheng's warning, the two immediately fell silent and focused on their journey.

However, the two of them couldn't help but wonder how Ji Yunshuang, with so few people, was going to stop the Qi army.

However, perhaps because of Ji Yunshuang's skill just now, or perhaps because of their trust in Lu Yinheng, the two of them were not flustered.

On the contrary, the two were very confident that they would eventually be able to complete the mission successfully.

Unlike the two men who blindly trusted Ji Yunshuang and Lu Yinheng, Fu Ci was prepared for Ji Yunshuang's inevitable defeat.

He prepared a large number of troops, intending to implement his plan immediately after Ji Yunshuang's defeat.

Moreover, to prevent any unforeseen events from occurring and to ensure timely remediation, he personally led his troops to follow Ji Yunshuang after she had already left with her troops.

In the military camp, apart from Fu Ci and Xie Liang, the few officers who knew Ji Yunshuang's boastful promises all thought it was nonsense.

It is said that Ji Yunshuang is so young and a woman that she would be so frightened by the sight of the Qi army that she would not dare to fight against them.

Fu Ci and Xie Liang have been bewitched by beauty; have they lost their minds? They actually believed a woman's words and let her lead a hundred new recruits to ambush the Qi army.

How can we gamble with the lives of our soldiers and the entire Jiangzhou? Isn't this ridiculous? Do we think this is child's play?

Some people even made wild claims in private, saying that Xie Liang was nothing special and not nearly as fierce as rumored.

Some officials who supported Fu Ci also began to doubt his abilities.

Upon hearing this news, Fu Zhe was actually quite pleased. If his father knew that Fu Ci had acted so recklessly, he would surely be furious, dismiss him from his post, and might even be imprisoned...

He immediately sent someone to report the news to his father, the king.

When Prince Rui received the news, he was not furious, but his brows furrowed so deeply that they could trap a fly.

He pondered for a moment, then instructed his trusted confidants to keep a close eye on the situation at the front, and summoned Liang Sheng.

He glanced at Liang Sheng and slowly said, "Was it you who brought Master Xie's new disciple to him?"

"That was discovered by Elder Xie himself; it has nothing to do with me."

Liang Sheng was still unaware of what Ji Yunshuang had been doing in the army. Thinking about the delicious food Ji Yunshuang had made, he complained, "Old Xie has taken her away, and my mouth has been so bland these past few days."
