Having many handsome men means no worries; pampering them all keeps me in good spirits.

Ouyang continued to persuade, "Even if Your Majesty disregards the cooperation with Prince Yun, you should still think carefully. I've heard that General Lu Nian of Da'an is extremely brave; seven years ago, he single-handedly killed 10,000 of our surrendered troops. His strength is not to be underestimated! Our soldiers have already suffered heavy casualties; we may not have a 100% chance of winning this battle..."

Yuan Lie rolled his eyes at him, "Don't boost the morale of others and diminish our own. No matter how brave Lu Nian is, didn't his father die at the hands of our Yuan army? I heard my father talk about that battle seven years ago, but unfortunately I was cultivating in the mountains at the time and did not participate in the battle. If I had been there, I would have taken Lu Nian's head long ago!"

Ouyang sighed softly: "I know Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and is eager to make contributions to consolidate your position. But Da'an has a strong military and now possesses such powerful explosives. We must not act rashly!"

Yuan Lie said impatiently, "Alright, you don't need to say anything more. Just do as I command! Tonight we must capture Zhangping County and avenge the soldiers who died or were wounded last night!"

The place where I met that woman last night was right at the border of the two counties. If she wasn't in Liping County, perhaps she would be in Zhangping County...

Thinking about what happened last night, Yuan Lie suddenly felt a dry mouth and throat...

Having never interacted with women before, he unexpectedly found himself somewhat enjoying his first sexual experience...

With the two countries at war, it's far too dangerous for her to be out there alone. We must find her as soon as possible...

At night, outside the camp in Zhangping County, Jiang Qingyan and her men sat around the campfire, happily grilling fragrant meat skewers.

Jiang Qingyan took a bite of beef, looked up at the night sky, and slightly curled the corners of her lips: "It's about time, the prey will soon be delivered to our door."

No sooner had they finished speaking than the sound of horses' hooves came from outside the city. The men around the fire exchanged smiles.

My husband is truly amazing; the Yuan army actually made it through...

Jiang Qingyan took a bite off the last piece of beef from the bamboo skewer, stood up, and held up the skewer, saying, "I'm full! Let's go digest!"

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up and followed Jiang Qingyan toward the city wall.

Meanwhile, outside the city walls, Yuan Lie, mounted on horseback, dressed in a silver military uniform and holding a long spear, loudly commanded the army behind him to quickly attack the city.

Immediately afterwards, a group of people rushed toward the city gate, shouting.

But just 500 meters from the city gate, the lead soldier stepped on a bomb that Jiang Qingyan had planted beforehand. Instantly, the explosion resounded through the sky, and the entire squad was blown to pieces.

Witnessing the power of the bomb firsthand, Yuan Lie was also somewhat taken aback...

Since we've already come all this way, it would be too embarrassing to retreat again, so we have no choice but to bite the bullet and send out another team to continue the siege.

Jiang Qingyan leaned against the city wall, resting her chin on her hands and looking down with great interest.

Wave after wave of gleaming white teeth charged in, only to be blasted away, over and over again...

Jiang Qingyan scoffed, "They're quite protective of their own, not letting their own Yuan army lead the charge, but sending the Tuoba army to their deaths instead."

Before long, the Tuoba army had all been killed in battle, and the remaining Yuan soldiers stared at Yuan Lie in fear.

Surely Your Majesty wouldn't send them there to their deaths too?

Yuan Lie gritted his teeth, "These good-for-nothings only know how to charge around recklessly, not a single one of them knows any light-body skills! I'll go myself!"

Ouyang quickly stopped him, saying, "Your Majesty, please don't be impulsive! The enemy has already set up an ambush. Tonight's celebration is probably just a smokescreen to lure us in and kill us all!"

Yuan Lie snorted coldly: "What's there to be afraid of? As long as I don't step on the ground, I won't ignite that thing. My lightness skill is the best in the world!"

Having said that, he leaped off his horse and flew straight towards the city wall.

Jiang Qingyan was completely stunned. Had Yuan Lie gone mad? How dare he charge onto the city wall all by himself?

Yi Luo sneered, "So stupid and reckless... how did you become a general? You're nowhere near as good as Lu Nian..."

A cold glint flashed in Lu Nian's eyes. "Let me fight him in a bit."

Jiang Qingyan sensed the murderous intent emanating from Lu Nian and quickly grabbed his hand, pleading, "Lu Nian, please spare his life?"

Seeing the strange expression on Jiang Qingyan's face, Lu Nian asked in confusion, "What do you mean by that, husband?"

Mo Ting saw through Jiang Qingyan's thoughts at a glance and quickly stepped forward to defuse the situation: "There is a reason why the Yuan Kingdom suddenly attacked our Great Anding. Therefore, we must capture this general alive and interrogate him carefully to find out if there are any villains involved."

Lu Nian nodded, looking as if she had just realized something, "Alright, then I'll spare his life today!"

Jiang Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief. Mo Ting was truly her little angel...

Fortunately, she didn't tell them that Yuan Lie was the king of the Yuan Kingdom...

If these men knew that she couldn't bear to kill Yuan Lie because of a night of passion with him, they would probably be angry...

Just then, she met Mo Ting's helpless gaze. He rolled his eyes at Jiang Qingyan, as if to say: Husband, can you please stop this? Stop flirting around with other women...

Jiang Qingyan pursed her lips guiltily and took out a fox mask from her bosom and put it on.

Suddenly, Yuan Lie flew up to the city wall and thrust his spear straight at Jiang Qingyan.

Jiang Qingyan's face beneath the mask instantly paled with fright. Damn it! Why is it coming at her?

Mo Ting quickly grabbed Jiang Qingyan and leaped up, accurately dodging the shot.

Yuan Lie roared, "Lu Nian! I heard you're pretty strong? If you're a real man, don't cower in someone else's arms! Come out and fight me one-on-one!"

Jiang Qingyan looked completely bewildered. "Brother, with so many handsome guys standing here, how did you figure out that I'm Lu Nian?"

Is it because she looks the most wise and powerful, with an extraordinary demeanor and an overwhelming aura?

Yuan Lie snorted coldly, "These people are clearly protecting you, so you must be Commander Lu Nian. Alright, enough talk, come out and fight me!"

As he spoke, he raised the spear in his hand and charged at her again.

At that moment, Lu Nian instantly flashed in front of Jiang Qingyan, blocking her path, and said coldly, "Open your dog eyes and see clearly, I am Lu Nian! If you want to fight, then fight, make your move!"

Yuan Lie narrowed his eyes, turned to Lu Nian and thrust forward. The two instantly became entangled in combat, and neither could gain the upper hand for a long time.

Xuan Ye chuckled and said, "This Yuan general's moves look very familiar."

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Yuan Lie's brow furrowed, and he quickly looked towards Xuan Ye.

His heart skipped a beat, and he murmured, "Master...you're still alive..."

It was this sudden lapse in concentration that allowed Lu Nian to win and quickly tie Yuan Lie up.

After struggling for a few moments, Yuan Lie gave up and shouted loudly to Xuan Ye, "Master! It's me, Xiao Lie!"
