Women disguised as men went to the battlefield and the emperor bowed down in submission.

Yunmo also brought over a bowl of ginger soup, saying, "I heard you caught a cold, so I made you some ginger soup."

Lin Ruoshui asked with a dark face, "Who told you that?"

Yunmo said, "Lingye."

Lin Ruoshui bit her lower lip tightly, and you could almost see the teeth marks deeply imprinted on her soft lips.

She asked, "What did he say?"

Yunmo asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? He said you and Xiuyi..." Before he could finish speaking, his face turned red.

Lin Ruoshui held back her anger as Baili Heng walked in carrying two bowls.

Lin Ruoshui frowned, forming a distinct "川" shape, like two sharp swords about to cleave Ling Ye in two.

Bai Liheng said, "I heard you caught a cold, so I had someone make you some ginger soup. Drink it while it's hot. It's a nourishing soup to replenish your yin, so drink it too." He glanced at Xiu Yi and continued, "You need to take better care of your health in the future and not do anything reckless."

Lin Ruoshui's body was tense, like a ferocious beast about to erupt, making people tremble with fear.

Xiuyi quickly hugged her arms tightly and said, "Don't be angry, don't be angry!"

Lin Ruoshui shouted, "Shadow One, bring our men and chop Ling Ye to pieces!"

As soon as the shadow appeared, he knelt down, accepted the order, and left.

Yunmo and Baili Heng exchanged glances and smiled knowingly.

Xiu Yi shook her head helplessly and silently mourned for Ling Ye.

The number one army in the world set off. Lin Ruoshui lay on the carriage, reached into the drawer and took out a pillow. She rested her head on it and smelled Xuan Yuan Yu's scent. The scent was getting lighter and lighter, which made her feel a little panicked.

Suddenly, the carriage door was kicked open.

Lingye's once neat red clothes are now tattered and covered with mud and sweat.

His hair was disheveled, with a few strands sticking to his dusty face, but it still couldn't hide his handsome features.

Ling Ye's eyes were filled with terror, and he kept looking back, afraid that the pursuers would get closer.

Upon seeing Lin Ruoshui, he cried out, "Brother Ying, save me! If you don't save me, I'm going to die!"

Lin Ruoshui remained on the sidelines, a slight smile playing on her lips, and asked, "Why should I save you?"

Ling Ye said, "Because I'm handsome."

Lin Ruoshui raised her foot to kick him out of the carriage.

Ling Ye said, "Because the pistol will be ready soon."

Lin Ruoshui withdrew her foot and asked, "When will it be ready?"

Ling Ye said, "If no one was chasing me, I should have made preparations two days ago."

Lin Ruoshui's face darkened upon hearing this; it turned out she had delayed her own affairs.

Ling Ye said, "Save me. If I die, I guarantee that no one in the world will be able to help you make that complicated thing."

Lin Ruoshui said, "Okay!"

Lin Ruoshui said to the person outside the carriage, "Protect Ling Ye well, don't let anyone touch a hair on his head."

Ying thought to herself, "Does this mean our master is going to let him go?"

Shadow One replied from outside the carriage, "Yes!"

Ling Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief and slumped into the carriage.

Seeing his disheveled appearance, Lin Ruoshui secretly felt a surge of satisfaction.

She said, "If you find a pool of water ahead, go and wash up properly. You look so disheveled; it's a real headache for me."

Ling Ye breathed a sigh of relief, regaining his carefree demeanor, and said, "Alright, Brother Ying, would you like to come along?"

Lin Ruoshui said, "Believe it or not, I'll tell Yingyi right now that I don't need to protect you anymore?"

Ling Ye said, "Okay, okay, I was wrong. I will never dare to offend you again, Grandma."

Lin Ruoshui understood from his words that he was the one who had hired someone to deal with him. Her eyes darted around, and she looked at Xiu Yi beside her.

Xiuyi nodded.

Lin Ruoshui turned her head and glared at Ling Ye, saying, "Aren't you going downstairs right now?"

Ling Ye said, "My leg injury has relapsed and hasn't healed yet. I've been chased these past few days, and the wound has worsened. Now I can't walk or ride a horse."

Lin Ruoshui said, "This is the price of being a smart aleck, do you know that?"

Ling Ye said, "I know, I was wrong. I won't tell anyone even if I see it in the future."

Lin Ruoshui said, "You still dare to look?"

Ling Ye said, "I...I'll try not to look."

Lin Ruoshui pressed on his injured leg and said, "What do you mean by 'try not to look'?"

Ling Ye cried out in pain, "I'm never watching it again, my dear aunt!"

Ling Ye thought to himself, "From now on, we'll be together, and I won't have to see you with other people."

Lin Ruoshui said, "Remember what you said. If I find out again, I'll send two million soldiers from the number one army in the world to deal with you."

Lingye was forced to nod.

Lin Ruoshui summoned Physician Li, who examined Ling Ye in the carriage.

Ling Ye was indeed seriously injured, not only in his leg, but also in his chest and back.

Lin Ruoshui felt a pang of guilt and reflected on whether she had been too ruthless.

Xiu Yi embraced her and said, "It's alright, he deserves it."

Ling Ye watched the two people in front of him, being all lovey-dovey and affectionate.

He pulled out a "truth pill" from his pocket and said to Lin Ruoshui, "Do you dare let Xiuyi take this? This is called a truth pill. Whether he is sincere to you or not, you can find out by asking him after he takes this."

Xiu Yi looked at Ling Ye with disdain, as if he were an idiot.

Lin Ruoshui became interested. She took the Truth Pill from Ling Ye's hand and said, "It really works?"

Ling Ye said, "Of course, it works immediately after you eat it. His ancestors for eighteen generations can explain it to you clearly."

Lin Ruoshui held the Truth Pill and approached Ling Ye, looking at him with a smile in her eyes. When Ling Ye saw Lin Ruoshui get close, his heart started pounding uncontrollably.

"What... what do you want to do?" Ling Ye asked.

Lin Ruoshui said, "I... I want to be closer to you."

Ling Ye showed a surprised expression. Lin Ruoshui moved closer to Ling Ye and pinched his wound hard. Ling Ye cried out, and Lin Ruoshui took the opportunity to stuff the Truth Pill into his mouth.

The pill was small and melted instantly in his mouth. Ling Ye didn't have time to spit it out before it dissolved in his mouth.

Ling Ye looked at Lin Ruoshui in surprise and said, "You actually want me to eat this?"

Lin Ruoshui said, "That's right, this good stuff shouldn't be given to others. Of course, it's for you. Can we ask you now if the pills have worked?"

Ling Ye said, "Yes, it works immediately after you take it."

Lin Ruoshui said, "That's great. I'm very curious about you and have a lot of questions I want to ask you."

Ling Ye's pupils dilated, losing their previous luster.

Seeing this, Lin Ruoshui asked, "Why did you approach me?"

Ling Ye said listlessly, "Because I want to know your secret."

"What secret?" Lin Ruoshui asked.

Ling Ye said, "I want to understand the secrets of those firearms."

Lin Ruoshui asked, "So, do you understand now?"

Ling Ye said, "No."

Lin Ruoshui asked, "Is it because there's no opportunity to find out?"

Ling Ye said, "No, the moment I found out you were a woman, I lost interest in those firearms."

Lin Ruoshui asked, "Then what secrets do you want to know about me?"

Ling Ye said, "I want to understand you, I want to possess you, I want to know all your secrets."

Lin Ruoshui asked angrily, "When did you find out I was a woman?"

Lingye said, "That day was in the hot spring."

Lin Ruoshui looked completely bewildered. She thought back carefully and realized that she must have soaked in a hot spring in the mountain stream.

Lin Ruoshui's palms were sweating. She asked, "What did you do in the hot spring?"

Ling Ye looked blissfully happy and said, "I did the happiest and most unforgettable thing in my life."

Lin Ruoshui insisted on getting to the bottom of it, so she bit her lip and asked, "What is it?"

Xiu Yi knocked Ling Ye unconscious with a single palm strike.

Lin Ruoshui looked at Xiuyi in surprise and said, "What are you doing? I haven't finished asking my question yet."

Xiu Yi picked her up and let her sit on his lap, saying, "Don't ask anymore, it's all his business, it has nothing to do with us."

Lin Ruoshui asked, "How is it none of my business?"

Xiuyi said, "He's just being delusional. It has nothing to do with you. Don't overthink it and only cause yourself more trouble."

Lin Ruoshui was very unhappy, but she didn't say it out loud and just ignored Xiuyi.

Seeing that Ling Ye was very dirty, Physician Li cleaned his wounds, applied medicine, and then changed him into a clean set of clothes.

Ling Ye lay on the floor of the carriage and slept soundly. When he woke up, he saw Lin Ruoshui with her back to Xiu Yi, as if the two had quarreled.

Ling Ye, who was always waiting to poach someone's boyfriend, couldn't possibly miss this golden opportunity.

Ling Ye sat up and asked, "Brother Ying, I'm thirsty, do you have any water?"

Lin Ruoshui said irritably, "There's tea over there, pour yourself some."

Ling Ye stood up, the carriage swayed, and he stumbled, eventually sitting on Lin Ruoshui's lap.

He smiled broadly and looked down at Lin Ruoshui, whose face was gloomy, and said, "Oh dear, I'm sorry, my legs hurt and I couldn't stand properly. Did you hurt yourself sitting down?"

Lin Ruoshui pushed him down, saying, "Get down quickly, don't cling to me."

Ling Ye remained unmoved and said, "Brother Ying, my leg hurts, and I can't stand up for a while."

Just as Lin Ruoshui was about to get angry, Ling Ye vanished in front of her in a flash.

It turned out that he had been thrown out of the carriage by Xiu Yi.

Lin Ruoshui's face twitched as she asked, "I wonder if my leg will ever be healed?"

Xiu Yi turned around and sat on her lap, wrapping her arms around her neck, saying, "Only I can sit on your lap, understand?"

Lin Ruoshui said, "I'm still angry with you."

Xiu Yi didn't speak, but instead sealed her lips with his own warm lips.

The world around them seemed to stand still, with only their breathing and heartbeats mingling together.

At this moment, their world consisted only of each other, only of this profound beauty and tenderness, and the unpleasantness from before had completely vanished.

Lin Ruoshui thought to herself, "There is no problem that a kiss cannot solve between lovers. If there is, then just keep kissing."

Wushang City was small and was captured without much effort.

The world's number one army rested and resupplyed here.

Baili Heng, Lin Ruoshui, and other generals were discussing matters in the hall.

Baili Heng pointed to the map and said, "We will set off in two days and reach the Feng River in three days. The Feng River has an average width of 963 meters. In winter, it freezes over and boats cannot travel on it. However, the water beneath the surface is flowing. We don't know if the ice is solid. If the army walks on it, they may fall into the ice. Does anyone have any good ideas?"

After hearing this, Lin Ruoshui touched her chin.

He thought to himself, "If only there were icebreakers like those in the 21st century! Too bad! There aren't!"

Xu Pai said, "Winter is here. If we wait here for half a month, I believe the ice on the river will be thick enough to support the army to cross."

Meng Tuo said, "What if this harsh winter isn't cold? The ice won't freeze solid, then we've waited half a month for nothing?"

Xu Pai said, "What the general said makes sense. Then, I wonder what your opinions are?"
