Compared with the relatively calm situation on Qingzhu's side, the atmosphere in a certain camp in the Yuan Kingdom was extremely "tense" at this moment.
In the military advisor's camp.
Chang Ying knelt on one knee with a solemn expression. "My lord, I was late just now, and almost let something happen to you. I beg you to punish me!"
Standing in front of him was Helan Yanting, who had returned to the Yuan Kingdom's military camp. "You acted quickly enough and were not late. Get up."
The person who suddenly appeared in the Yuan Kingdom's military camp just now was Chang Ying. It was also he who threw a smoke bomb at a critical moment to confuse the sight of General Li and Lieutenant Lin. Taking advantage of this gap, Feng Yunshu and Helan Yanting quickly left the scene.
Chang Ying got up and looked up at Helan Yanting, but felt that the atmosphere in the camp was gradually becoming a bit strange. Chang Ying's eyes quickly fell on Feng Yunshu beside Helan Yanting.
Feng Yunshu was crossing her arms over her chest, leaning on one shoulder against the sand - table table. Her eyes were slightly squinted as she looked at Helan Yanting, and it seemed that some strong emotion was flowing out bit by bit from her eyes, and this emotion was becoming more and more intense.
Chang Ying looked at Feng Yunshu in puzzlement. Why was there such a man beside the lord? And it seemed that this man had an unusual relationship with the lord?
"Advisor Tingyan, hehe, Tingyan... Advisor... This identity is really novel. It's really good..."
Feng Yunshu raised her eyebrows, and there was a hint of mockery in the corners of her eyes and brows.
After hearing Feng Yunshu's seemingly out - of - context words, Chang Ying then saw Helan Yanting's complexion change slightly, as if his body trembled slightly.
Was the lord... afraid?
Chang Ying instantly doubted his own eyes. It was impossible. This young man looked ordinary at all. How could the lord be afraid of him?
"Who are you? How dare you speak so rudely to the lord?" Anyway, Chang Ying regarded protecting Helan Yanting as his top priority. Seeing Feng Yunshu's rudeness, he immediately frowned and looked at Feng Yunshu.
Feng Yunshu turned to look at Chang Ying. Where did this loyal little guard come from? It seemed that the prince was doing well here. He had found so many handsome little guards...
Before Feng Yunshu could speak, Helan Yanting immediately ordered Chang Ying, "Chang Ying, you go out first. I, the military advisor, will handle this myself."
"My lord, who is this person exactly—"
Chang Ying was obviously puzzled by Helan Yanting's words. He didn't understand why Helan Yanting protected this man so much.
Helan Yanting felt Feng Yunshu's increasingly cold eyes beside him, and his temples throbbed. "Go out."
Chang Ying could only nod and obediently exit the camp.
Not long after Chang Ying left the camp, he ran into Yan Qi, who was coming back with people. This was exactly what people called "meeting one's nemesis." What a narrow path!
Yan Qi saw Chang Ying coming out of the camp with a dark face. Thinking of the humiliation Chang Ying had given him last time, he raised his eyebrows playfully and said, "Isn't this Lieutenant Chang Ying? What's wrong with your face? Aren't you highly regarded by the lord? Who could make Lieutenant Chang Ying lose face?"
"Guard Yan, are you... asking for a beating?"
Chang Ying gritted his silver teeth so hard that they made a clicking sound, and the words he said were filled with a cold chill.
Seeing Chang Ying rarely show such an angry look, Yan Qi instantly felt in a good mood. He was so happy that he almost wanted to perform a set of Yan's sword skills on the spot.
"What? Do you want to try my Yan's fast sword?"
Chang Ying couldn't help but draw the long sword from his waist. "You—"
Just as it seemed that the two were about to fight to test their skills, General Shi's voice suddenly sounded. "Lieutenant Chang Ying, come here. I have something to discuss with you."
Hearing the voice, Chang Ying glared at Yan Qi angrily. "I'll spare you this time!"
"Tsk... I don't know who is sparing who..."
Yan Qi snorted angrily and put his long knife back into its scabbard.
At this time, Ziyuan, who was a by - stander, had been sweating for Yan Qi just now, worried that he would really fight with Chang Ying. However, Xiaoling in her arms was amused by Yan Qi's childish provocation. "Meow..."
Hearing the sound, Yan Qi turned to look at Xiaoling. Why did this cat seem to be laughing at him? Yan Qi suspected that he was really in a daze when he came in. It was probably because he hadn't had a good rest.
Moreover, why did this young man holding the cat seem to be blushing?
...
At this time, the atmosphere in the camp was so complicated that the soldiers standing at the door silently took a few steps back, glanced into the camp, and quickly averted their eyes.
"Prince, tell me. How did you change from Prince Helan to Advisor Tingyan? How did you plan such a big play and even deliberately faked your death while hiding it from me?"
Feng Yunshu calmly glanced at Helan Yanting. Although her expression seemed normal at the moment, and she even had a smile on her face, Helan Yanting swore that this was definitely the coldest smile he had ever seen.
"My lady, this is a military camp. Why are you here?"
Helan Yanting was also puzzled in his heart, so he began to play dumb and tried to divert Feng Yunshu's question with his own question.
"Why am I here? Why do you think I'm here? Hmm? I'd like to hear your opinion, Advisor Tingyan."
Saying that, Feng Yunshu straightened up and walked towards Helan Yanting step by step. "After not seeing you for several months, your acting skills have become even more amazing."
"My lady, I—"
"Pah! Who's your lady? I'm a widow now."
Feng Yunshu sneered and put her hands on her hips. "My husband committed the crime of treason and was sent to the dungeon by the emperor of the Dan Kingdom. He died after suffering a lot. What a miserable life I have... I'm so young and can only be a widow. Sigh..."
"My lady, I—" Helan Yanting frowned as he looked at Feng Yunshu, who was sighing with her chin in her hand, and tried to explain.
Suddenly, Feng Yunshu raised her eyebrows, changed the topic, and her smile became even wider. "However, I think this current identity of mine is very free, you know? Without the constraints of the Helan Prince's Mansion and the prince, I'm now good - looking and rich. As the saying goes, there are plenty of fish in the sea. This just gives me a good chance to have a look at the handsome guys outside..."
Saying that, Feng Yunshu got closer to Helan Yanting. "Advisor Tingyan, let me tell you. Not long ago, I went for a stroll on the street. Then I found a tall, handsome, gentle, and considerate young man among the entertainers. So I didn't hesitate at all and took this handsome guy back to amuse myself."
Helan Yanting's face turned as green as a bitter gourd, and it seemed that the greenness was about to spread out...
"To tell you the truth, the real reason I came here secretly is because... His Highness the Third Prince has also been sent to lead the troops on an expedition. I was worried when I heard this, so I came to visit—"
Before Feng Yunshu could finish her words, she was suddenly tightly hugged by a pair of strong arms and directly pressed into his embrace.
"You—"
Feng Yunshu was about to struggle, but the next second, the scolding that hadn't been spoken yet was swallowed by someone along with her lips.
"You... Um..."
In an instant, her nose, mouth, and entire brain were filled with his unique cold aura, but this aura was surprisingly hot, like a flame crackling and burning in through her lips.
He kissed so forcefully that it couldn't even be called a kiss. It was like a hungry beast that had smelled the unique smell of its prey and had completely lost control. It wanted to devour her bit by bit, wanted to absorb more, and wanted to truly embed her into his own body and become one with her...
