Apparently, General Li enjoyed far greater prestige in the Dan Kingdom's military camp than Lieutenant Lin. One could even say that most of the soldiers here only took orders from General Li.
Everyone had thought that General Li had been taken away, but unexpectedly, he reappeared in the camp.
Under General Li's leadership, the soldiers of the Dan Kingdom agreed to surrender. However, when General Li agreed to this condition, he also put forward his own principles. These soldiers could decide for themselves whether to stay or leave.
Those who wanted to return to the Dan Kingdom could go back on their own. Those who wanted to stay and surrender to the Yuan Kingdom could remain, and the Yuan Kingdom would provide a certain amount of pension silver.
This was also a characteristic of Helan Yanting's preferential policy. Although the other side was surrendering, he didn't want these hot - blooded men to lose their fighting spirit. He fully mobilized the morale and abilities of these strong soldiers.
The war between the Dan Kingdom and the Yuan Kingdom ended at this point. However, the problems between the two countries were not yet resolved.
Seeing that the war was over, Feng Yunshu felt a bit relieved. She thought that she would take Xiaoling and Ziyuan out today and ask Helan Yanting to accompany them to stroll around the town.
Counting carefully, since she went out on the Mid - Autumn Festival last time, she hadn't gone out with Helan Yanting for a long time.
After Feng Yunshu put forward this request, Helan Yanting nodded in agreement quite cooperatively. "Well, since my lady is in such a good mood, I'll accompany you for a stroll."
Actually, Helan Yanting still had some things to deal with. However, he also knew that since Qingzhu and Kongze left, Feng Yunshu had been a bit down. It was a good time to accompany her to relax.
Since they were going out, Feng Yunshu began rummaging through her clothes. Since she usually dressed casually in the military camp, it was really not easy to find a decent dress.
Fortunately, before going out, Ziyuan seemed to have foreseen it and specially put out a set of water - blue silk gauze dress. This dress was made of top - grade silk, and the embroidery on it was sewn stitch by stitch by extremely skillful embroiderers from the south of the Yangtze River. Every part of it exuded refinement and low - key nobility. Among these clothes, it was quite presentable.
"Miss, you should put on this dress."
Seeing the long dress in Ziyuan's hand, Feng Yunshu's eyes lit up. She was overjoyed and threw herself at Ziyuan, giving her a big hug. "Oh my god, Ziyuan, you're so smart! Your miss loves you so much!"
Ziyuan blushed a little and said with a smile, "Miss, you're always joking. If the prince hears this, he might be jealous of me."
"Hehe, no way. I'll go change my clothes first. Later, you can put on a light makeup for me."
After some dressing up, Feng Yunshu stared at herself in the mirror for a moment and silently rubbed her eyes.
She could hardly remember how long it had been since she dressed up so formally. "Ziyuan, Xiaoling, who's this beautiful girl in the mirror?"
"Of course it's my mistress! Hehe..." Xiaoling was quite intelligent at this moment and came over with a big smile. Who didn't like to look at beautiful girls?
"If mistress dressed like this every day, the prince would probably lock you up in the house and not let you go out."
"Why?" Feng Yunshu was a bit stunned.
"Because—" Xiaoling deliberately dragged out the syllables, "because if mistress looks like this, she'll attract too many suitors. Then the prince will be very unhappy and will cut off these suitors."
"Okay, okay. It's getting late. If we don't go out, I feel the prince won't want to accompany me out next time."
Feng Yunshu walked out gracefully. Looking up, she saw Helan Yanting standing with his back to her, his hands behind his back. The wind blew the black hair that fell down from his jade - crowned head. It was truly a picture of a handsome man in silence.
Feng Yunshu silently sighed in her heart that the prince was definitely a handsome man when he didn't speak.
Strangely enough, Helan Yanting standing with his back to her gave her an indescribable sense of familiarity. It seemed as if she had seen such a scene somewhere...
Hearing the familiar footsteps behind him, Helan Yanting turned around and looked at Feng Yunshu.
Dressed up, she was like a bright color in the world. Everything around seemed to fade into insignificance the moment she appeared. Only she shone brightly, as beautiful as a painting.
"Prince, have you been waiting long?"
Thinking that it had taken her a long time to dress up, Feng Yunshu felt a bit embarrassed. She walked up with an awkward smile.
Watching the graceful woman walking towards him, Helan Yanting unconsciously recalled some scenes in his mind. His eyes became deeper and more complex as he tried hard to hide the surging thoughts in his heart.
"You didn't even know you were so handsome in human form. Tsk tsk, it's really a pleasure to have you by my side!"
"A Zhu, I'm the god with the worst aptitude and the stupidest mind among the ancient gods. They all dislike me. Will you dislike me too?"
"I'm just joking. Even if you dislike me, you're not allowed to say it! Otherwise, see how I'll deal with you. Hehe..."
"A Zhu, you're crazy! Hurry up and leave! I've already canceled the contract between us. You're no longer my spiritual pet. Go quickly!"
...
"Prince?"
Feng Yunshu walked up and saw Helan Yanting standing still with a complex expression. She reached out and waved his sleeve. Helan Yanting seemed to return to reality from the depths of his memory.
"Prince, what's wrong? Is something wrong? Your face looks a bit off..."
Feng Yunshu rarely saw Helan Yanting showing such an expression. She couldn't help but feel worried.
Helan Yanting took her hand and shook his head with a faint smile. "I'm fine. It's just that my lady is especially stunning today. I was just momentarily distracted."
Feng Yunshu noticed that he was holding her hand a bit tightly. Her palm was starting to hurt, but she didn't say anything and just let him hold her hand tightly. She looked at him with a bright smile.
"Prince, did you eat honey today? Why are you so sweet - tongued... Let's go. It's getting late. Let's go for a stroll in the busy city!"
"Okay, let's go."
On the long street.
Feng Yunshu listened to the cries and shouts of the small vendors on both sides of the street, watched the bustling and diverse pedestrians, and smelled the mixed smell of various snacks in the air. Finally, she felt the long - lost smell of the world!
The mistress and her servants quickly started their "street - sweeping" action. "Husband, I want to eat this!"
"This is also very delicious. Try it?"
"Wow, this dough figurine is so cute... And this little windmill..."
Helan Yanting watched Feng Yunshu, who was like a wild horse running freely, and shook his head with a helpless and doting smile. His only role today was to pay the silver.
Feng Yunshu was strolling around happily when suddenly there came a chaotic and hasty sound of horses' hooves from the other side of the street. Then a man's angry shout rang out, "Get out of the way! All of you! The government officials are on official business. Those who block the way will be severely punished!"
The pedestrians on the street were instantly panicked and ran in all directions to avoid the tall horses. The scene instantly became chaotic and noisy.
Feng Yunshu was standing in the middle of the street, looking at the dough figurines on the vendor's stall. Hearing the commotion, she quickly turned her head and saw a tall horse charging straight towards her!
Feng Yunshu suddenly opened her eyes wide and instinctively gathered her spiritual power to stop the horse. But Helan Yanting beside her was quick - eyed and quick - handed. He immediately put his arm around Feng Yunshu's slender waist and pulled her to the side, barely avoiding the galloping horse.
