They were in charge of being beautiful, and she was in charge of taking the hits.

Chapter 378 Oh no! The house has been robbed!

She's so small and soft, no one else is allowed to touch her!

Wu Ziyan never expected him to think that way. She just wanted to give him some advice, but she ended up leading him astray.

The wind and snow from the mountains stung their faces as the soldiers, dressed in white robes, charged forward under the moonlight.

No one expected that these people had such strong willpower that they were able to cross such a rugged mountain range.

Chu Ling and the others had a frosty expression on their faces. As the sun rose, they could see the Northern Rong Royal Court from the mountains.

Their defenses were indeed very weak, but they were unable to move at the moment.

We should wait until Chu Qiu and his men make their move, and then wait until the morale of the troops here is low before we make our move!

Three more days passed

Yelü Hanxuan only came back to see Wu Ziyan briefly in the evening, reminding her to take her medicine, and didn't say much else.

Moreover, they came later and later each time, and sometimes they came back smelling of blood. Although there was no blood, she could smell it.

On the third night, Yelü Hanxuan returned around midnight, which was around 11 or 12 o'clock.

Wu Ziyan stared at him, knowing he would come. He was back so late, and she hadn't expected him to still be awake.

"The military doctor told you to rest well."

"You killed someone." She didn't even look at him, her expression calm, staring at the ceiling.

For a fleeting moment, Yelü Hanxuan's face showed a look of surprise.

She always cleans up the bloodstains outside when she comes back. How did she know?

He even thought he had missed something because he came back too late today. He looked at his sleeves and his shoes, and they were all cleaned up.

“I can smell it. There’s a child next to me who often smells of blood, but he only kills those who deserve to die.”

"Male and female."

"male."

Yelü Hanxuan clenched his fists again. He hadn't even dealt with the first two men yet, and now another one had inexplicably appeared. Even if it was the child she mentioned, it wouldn't work.

Looking back now, her reputation for being a womanizer might actually be true.

The two he sees now are just the tip of the iceberg; who knows how many more there are?

"You've had quite a few clashes at the border these past few days, haven't you? You still want to rush back to see me? Why don't you just use me to threaten them? Then they'll be at your mercy."

"I do not want."

He touched her face and then her head.

He does this almost every night, and it really is like petting a pet, but even more precious than a pet.

"Do you know something?"

"what?"

"I am already married."

"That's your husband from the Wu Dynasty, what does it have to do with you in Bei Rong?"

That's incredibly tolerant; he can accept all of this.

He pulled a piece of candy from his shirt and stuffed it into Wu Ziyan's mouth. He liked to see her puff out her cheeks as she ate the candy.

"You feed me a piece of candy every night when you come home. Is this some kind of slow poison? I'm a little scared!"

"I could easily kill you with one strike."

Wu Ziyan paused for a moment, then nodded: "I understand, I understand."

The next day, Yelü Hanyong and Chu Qiu faced off. She greatly admired the men who could go to the battlefield, and she rode her horse and brandished her spear to fight Chu Qiu for several rounds.

Chu Qiu pretended to be outmatched and retreated, but Yelü Hanyong was very clever and did not pursue him.

She could tell that Chu Qiu hadn't used his full strength; it seemed he was deliberately retreating to lure her deeper.

No sooner had Yelü Hanyong returned to the city than people outside started shouting.

"You cowards! You people from Beirong aren't any better!"

"Are you hiding in the city because you can't beat me? If you don't come out, someone fire rockets!"

They released them without hesitation, showing no mercy whatsoever. Most of the flaming swordsmen's arrows hit the city gates and walls, without harming anyone inside.

However, the people of Beirong could not withstand such provocation, and someone immediately went to report to Yelü Hanyong.

As she polished her gleaming silver spear, she clicked her tongue and muttered, "Why are these Wu Dynasty people so annoying?"

They wanted to fight, but they didn't fight properly. They ran away halfway through the fight, and they had only been back for a short while when people came to harass them again.

While this is a tactic, it's just too shameless.

"You cowards of Beirong, defeated generals of Beirong, bastards of Beirong! Come out!"

Yelü Hanyong endured it and didn't go out, wanting to see how long they could keep cursing outside.

Finally, the soldiers on the city wall couldn't stand it anymore.

They also started firing arrows, but the archers dodged cleverly, staying just outside the arrows' range.

On the other side, Chu Ling achieved a surprising victory by cutting off the royal court's connection with the outside world.

Those people were eating meat and drinking wine in the royal court when the army outside suddenly attacked.

Before they could react, all the sentry posts were taken down.

They didn't massacre the civilians when they entered the city; they just used those who were dissatisfied to make an example of them at the crossroads.

Chu Ling once again praised Huang Ziliang's strategy, saying that she had never thought of such a surprise attack.

Even if they had thought of it, they wouldn't have dared to carry it out. Those desolate snow-capped mountains were rarely visited by people, and it was uncertain whether they could even cross them. Yet they actually succeeded!

While both sides were locked in a stalemate inside and outside the city, an urgent report suddenly arrived, naturally from Beirong City.

"Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened!" A messenger rushed to Yelü Hanyong's side, scrambling and sliding to his knees.

She was already very impatient when the bright silver spear was suddenly thrust in front of the messenger.

"Say!"

"The royal court has fallen!"

A flicker of doubt crossed her eyes for a moment, followed by gritted teeth. He asked, "How can you advance and retreat so many times?"

They launched harassment campaigns in various places, apparently to confuse them and steal from their homes!

"It's true! We're in a real dilemma now!"

At the same time, Yelü Hanxuan also received this news. Thinking of what Wu Ziyan had said to him, he felt numb!

"Your Majesty, what do we do now?!"

"They're going all out to reinforce the royal court! How cunning the Wu Dynasty people are!"

"I do have a plan, but I don't know if Prince Hanxuan will agree."

"We're at a critical juncture now, who cares if he agrees or not? For the sake of the nation and its people, he'll definitely agree!"

"Like this, like this..."

Without a second's hesitation, Yelü Hanyong immediately ordered someone to bring Wu Ziyan to him.

Although Wu Ziyan's residence was some distance from the city, it would take less than half a quarter of an hour by fast horse.

Wu Ziyan's wounds had scabbed over; the system's medicine was truly amazing. Otherwise, relying solely on the herbs of this world, she would probably have died countless times already.

While he was still thinking about what to eat for lunch, two women in armor approached menacingly from outside the door.

Without saying a word, he pulled her out of bed. She knew something must have happened.

"Wait, wait, even if you're going to use me as a bargaining chip, you have to make sure I'm dressed properly. What if I catch a cold?"
