Regent, please maintain your aloof image.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Xinyue said firmly, "I'll go."

"What".

“I am a woman, which can make them lower their guard, and I speak their language, which makes things easier.”

"No, how can I let you go? Absolutely not."

"Don't underestimate me, I can do it."

“I know you are skilled in martial arts, but I can’t let you take risks. I promised my sister that I would bring you back safe and sound. If something happens to you, how am I supposed to explain it to my sister? This is absolutely unacceptable. Don’t even think about it.”

“If you won’t let me go, I’ll go secretly. You have the medicine that Sister Rou gave you, and so do I.”

"you……".

In the end, Su Haoyu couldn't persuade her otherwise and agreed to let her go.

Therefore, on a dark and windy night, when the Western Regions people came to launch another surprise attack, Liu Xinyue pretended to be outmatched and let them kidnap her.

Upon learning the news, Yang Wenchang was extremely anxious and immediately summoned all the generals to discuss countermeasures.

“I told you from the beginning that we shouldn’t have let her come. Now look what’s happened, she’s been captured by the enemy. How are we going to explain this to the old general?”

"Old Li, didn't I tell you to keep an eye on her? How could you let her face the enemy?"

"At that time, when the enemy attacked, I didn't care about anything else."

"Alright, now is not the time to talk about this. The most urgent thing now is to find a way to rescue her. Otherwise, how will we face the old general when we go back?"

"The problem is how to rescue them. If we could sneak in, we wouldn't be in such a pathetic state now."

"Yes, if we could sneak in, we wouldn't be threatened by those bastards from the Western Regions, letting them be so arrogant."

Yang Wenchang remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

At this moment, Su Haoyu's voice rang out from outside the tent, "General, I have an urgent matter to report."

"Come in".

Su Haoyu then walked in and said, "Greetings, generals."

"Xiaoyu, what are you doing here?"

“I…I have something to tell the general.”

"What's the matter?"

“That… Miss Liu was captured on purpose.”

"What did you say? You did it on purpose?" General Li was greatly shocked.

Yang Wenchang said, "Tell me the truth about what happened."

"I couldn't find a breakthrough, so I came up with the idea of ​​pretending to be captured. Once they bring me to Liangzhou City, I'll find an opportunity to drug their water and knock them unconscious. That way, we can recover Liangzhou without losing a single soldier."

"Aren't you being ridiculous? What happened next?" General Li asked.

"Later, I told Miss Liu about this idea, hoping she would cooperate with me. But she said she wanted to do it herself, because she was a woman and could make the enemy lower their guard. Moreover, she knew the language of the Western Regions, which would make it easier for her to carry out her mission. In the end, I couldn't persuade her otherwise, so I let her go." Su Haoyu became more and more guilty as he spoke, so his voice became softer and softer.

"This is utter nonsense! How can you make such an important decision on your own?" Yang Wenchang rebuked angrily.

“If we had told you beforehand, you definitely wouldn’t have agreed, so we… will act first and ask questions later.”

“You…” Yang Wenchang was furious.

“Xiaoyu, you guys acted too impulsively. You should have discussed it with us first and come up with a foolproof plan before taking action. What if things don’t work out and Miss Liu is… what will we do then?” Yang Lin said.

"That's right. Miss Liu is a woman. Although she has some martial arts skills, the enemy camp is full of rough and uncouth men. How could a little woman like her possibly handle them? Sending her there is like sending her to her death."

At this moment, Su Haoyu also felt some regret, so he lowered his head and remained silent.

"Alright, things have come to this, let's think about what to do," Yang Wenchang said.

Unfortunately, the generals racked their brains but could not come up with a good solution.

Liangzhou City

At this moment, Liu Xinyue had already been brought before Ruerqi.

"General, we've captured a woman, and she's quite pretty."

“Woman,” Rulqi looked Liu Xinyue up and down, “She’s really good-looking. Where did you catch her?”

"In the enemy camp."

"You mean, they were captured in Yunyue's military camp."

"Yes".

"Who are you, and why are you in Yunyue's military camp?"

To lower their guard, Liu Xinyue pretended to be weak and frightened, saying, "I...I'm here to see my fiancé."

"Who is your fiancé?"

"Su Haoyu".

Upon hearing this, Lu Erqi, not recognizing her, assumed she was an unimportant soldier in the Yunyue army camp and didn't take her seriously, simply saying, "Lock her up first."

"Yes".

Liu Xinyue was taken to a small room. When the men saw that she was a woman, they did not tie her hands and feet or even search her body. They simply pushed her into the room, closed the door, and left.

Liu Xinyue looked around the room. Apart from a bed and a few tables and chairs, there was nothing else in the room. The tables and chairs were covered in dust, indicating that no one had lived there for a long time.

Then, Liu Xinyue walked to the door and tried to open it. To her surprise, it actually opened, but there was someone guarding the door.

"Go in," the two men guarding the door said menacingly.

"What are you doing? I want to go back. I don't want to stay here. Let me go back right now!" Liu Xinyue deliberately caused trouble, and then took the opportunity to check the surroundings. She found that they were in a courtyard. The surroundings were very quiet, but there were two soldiers guarding the door of the next room. It was likely that someone was being held inside, and most likely a citizen of Liangzhou.

The soldier pushed her back and warned, "If you come out again, we'll kill you immediately."

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Liu Xinyue calmed down and stopped causing trouble.

The soldier then closed the door.

Liu Xinyue began to think about what to do next. First, she needed to move freely. Second, she needed to check if the people of Liangzhou were being held in the next room. If so, she would have to find a way to rescue them.

Barracks

Inside the tent, the generals were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, at a loss for what to do.

"A day has passed, and there is still no news from Xiaoyue. Could it be that she has already..."

"It's hard to say, it's more likely to be bad than good."

"If all else fails, we'll use prisoners from the Western Regions to exchange for her. No matter what, we can't let her stay in the hands of the Western Regions people."

“If we use prisoners to exchange for her, they will realize how important Xiaoyue is to us. Given Ruerqi’s despicable nature, he will definitely raise the price, which will only make things more difficult for us.”

"This won't work, that won't work, what do you suggest we do?"

"Get ready. If there's still no news tonight, we'll attack the city," Yang Wenchang said.

"Then we'll ignore the people in Liangzhou City."

"If we keep waiting like this, they will starve to death even if they are not killed."

The generals did not object, which meant they agreed with his statement and his actions.
