"It's good that he's coming. If he didn't, this game would lose a lot of fun. Hehe."
Hearing this, Helan Yanting not only showed no sign of worry but sneered instead.
Chang Ying was a bit puzzled. "My lord, did you foresee this long ago? Have you already come up with a countermeasure?"
Helan Yanting didn't answer his question immediately. Instead, he squinted his eyes and looked thoughtfully at Chang Ying. "This military advisor is rather curious. Why do you always call me 'my lord' instead of 'military advisor' like others?"
Chang Ying trembled all over upon hearing this and was in a daze for a moment.
After a long while, he looked up at Helan Yanting with an extremely complicated expression. "My lord, you—"
However, before Chang Ying could finish his words, General Shi suddenly appeared and strode towards Helan Yanting. "Military advisor, I heard that the third prince of the Dan Kingdom is going to lead troops to reinforce. I was thinking of discussing this matter with you to see how we should deal with it."
As he spoke, General Shi had already walked up to them. He turned to look at Chang Ying. "Deputy Chang Ying is here too. Did you come for this matter as well?"
Chang Ying came to his senses and his expression returned to his usual low - key and indifferent look. "Yes, General. That's exactly the case."
"Since we've all thought of the same thing, let's just discuss the countermeasure together."
After saying that, General Shi raised his head and was about to enter Helan Yanting's tent. Helan Yanting immediately stepped forward to block his way.
"General Shi, please stop."
General Shi looked at Helan Yanting in confusion. "Could there be some rare treasure in your tent, military advisor? No idlers allowed?"
Helan Yanting turned to look at the tent and then at General Shi, nodding slowly. "Indeed."
"I wonder what kind of treasure could make you, the military advisor, care so much about it. I'm really curious, General."
"A unique and priceless treasure."
When saying this, Helan Yanting's voice was a bit gentler than his previous indifference, and there was a shining light in his eyes.
General Shi suddenly seemed to understand something. He looked at Helan Yanting with an understanding look on his face. "I seem to understand..."
Seeing his gossipy look, Helan Yanting didn't explain much. He just nodded slightly. "Since the general understands, let's discuss it in another place."
"Okay, let's go to my tent."
Chang Ying paused in place. It wasn't until General Shi turned around to urge him that he came to his senses and quickly followed.
...
Feng Yunshu had a rare comfortable sleep. When she woke up, her stomach growled first, and then she rubbed her eyes and opened them.
"Master, are you okay? Is there still any discomfort in your body?!"
Seeing Feng Yunshu wake up, Xiaoling was the first one to excitedly rush up and flutter into her arms.
Feng Yunshu's heart was almost crushed by the chubby Xiaoling and she could hardly breathe. "Xiaoling, you..."
Zi Yuan beside her quickly reached out to pick Xiaoling up. "Xiaoling, come down quickly. Miss has been crushed by you and can't breathe."
Xiaoling pouted aggrievedly. "There isn't... With my so slender figure, how could I?"
"Miss, you're finally awake. You've slept for so long. We were all very worried about you."
Zi Yuan and Xiaoling looked at Feng Yunshu uneasily. Feng Yunshu looked at the one person and one cat in front of her who were looking at her with concern, feeling extremely warm. She couldn't help but smile.
"The toxins in my body have been completely cleared. I'm fine. I'm sorry to have made you worry."
"No way! Master doesn't need to say sorry! The one who should say sorry should be Xiaoling... Master almost had an accident, but Xiaoling didn't arrive in time to protect you well..."
Feng Yunshu rubbed Xiaoling's head. "Your master is blessed with great fortune. What could happen? Don't blame yourself."
After saying that, Feng Yunshu's stomach growled again.
Only then did Zi Yuan react and quickly patted her head. "Look at my stupid head. Miss, you've slept for so long. You must be hungry. I'll go and get some food for you right away!"
Just then, there came hasty footsteps mixed with bugle sounds outside the tent, as if there was some big commotion.
Feng Yunshu immediately lifted the quilt, put on her coat and got out of bed. She quickly tidied herself up, then carried Xiaoling and walked out of the tent.
When she reached the tent door, she looked up and saw the soldiers, wearing rattan armor and holding long knives and wooden spears in their hands, surging towards the same direction with solemn expressions.
Feng Yunshu stood there and observed for a while, then immediately stepped forward to stop a soldier. "Brother, where are you going? What's going on?"
The soldier glanced at Feng Yunshu and said in a hurry, "The general has ordered us to set out to form a battle formation. The Dan Kingdom's army is going to attack! I don't have time to delay here. I have to go quickly..."
As soon as the soldier finished speaking, he had already run into the crowd. Feng Yunshu's heart skipped a beat. This was the first time she had heard that the two sides were going to fight since she came here.
Seeing the large - scale commotion, Feng Yunshu couldn't help but worry about Helan Yanting.
She looked around but didn't see Helan Yanting's figure. Her heart couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"Zi Yuan, military affairs may be dangerous. You don't know martial arts, so it's safest for you to stay here. I'll take Xiaoling and go and have a look."
At this time, Feng Yunshu suddenly thought of something. "Hey, Xiaoling, where's Qingzhu? Have you seen where Qingzhu has gone? Why haven't I seen him?"
Xiaoling shook her head, looking confused. "Brother Qingzhu was still with me before. Later, when I went into the tent to see you, Master, Brother Qingzhu said that it wasn't convenient for a man to enter, so he said he would wait outside. Later... Xiaoling doesn't know where he went."
Strange. How could a person disappear out of the blue?
Feng Yunshu originally wanted to use her spiritual power to find Qingzhu's aura, but there were too many people here and the auras were very chaotic. For a moment, it was difficult for her to perform this spell.
Feng Yunshu then thought that Qingzhu himself had quite strong demonic power. Ordinary people or common demons and ghosts couldn't hurt him. Maybe he had something urgent to do.
Thinking of this, Feng Yunshu carried Xiaoling and walked forward as much as possible while avoiding the large army, looking for Helan Yanting's figure.
Soon, Feng Yunshu saw Helan Yanting and others on the city wall and quickly chased after them.
Just as she was about to step forward, Feng Yunshu was blocked by several soldiers with long spears. "Who are you? You're not allowed to step forward here!"
Feng Yunshu was about to speak when Helan Yanting heard the footsteps and turned to look over. He said in a deep voice, "Let her come over."
The soldiers glanced at Helan Yanting and immediately loosened their long spears to let Feng Yunshu pass.
Seeing that Helan Yanting was okay, Feng Yunshu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "King—Military Advisor Tingyan, I'm glad you're okay..."
Feng Yunshu patted her chest. Her hanging heart finally fell back to its place.
"What exactly happened? As soon as I woke up, I saw the soldiers running in a hurry."
Helan Yanting's expression was a bit solemn. "I'm afraid a great battle is inevitable."
After saying that, he looked at Feng Yunshu. "Why did you come here? It may be dangerous here. Your body hasn't fully recovered yet. Go back to the tent and wait. It's very safe there."
Feng Yunshu shook her head and subconsciously grabbed Helan Yanting's sleeve. "I'm not leaving. I'll be where you are. Didn't you promise me that you wouldn't leave me alone again? Why are you going back on your word?"
