Chapter 361: Chapter 361 Enemy Army Incoming

"What do you think?"

Xie Feifei glanced at him, her expression mocking.

"Crown Prince of Dongli Country?" Zhang Pengchi swallowed hard and asked in a low voice.

Xie Feifei remained silent.

But her demeanor had clearly given him the answer.

Zhang Pengchi broke out in cold sweat again.

Actually, when Xie Feifei previously mentioned she was working for the enemy, he could already guess who her master was.

Yet, what she had just said was still shocking.

"So, is it that Beiliang Country now wishes to fall out with Dongli Country?" he continued to ask softly.

He needed to unearth more secrets, as that was the only way to save his life.

But after he asked this question, he was met with a pair of eyes that seemed to smile yet not smile at all.

"Haven’t I said it before? The more secrets you know, the faster you die."

Upon hearing Xie Feifei’s warning, his expression froze, and he no longer dared to speak another word.

...

"Ahem, General Zhu, why is it you? Where is our Princess?"

Seeing Zhu Yinian enter, Feng Shan struggled to sit up.

"Miss Chen, you need not rise."

Zhu Yinian quickly spoke to stop her.

"Your Princess... she had a dream, dreaming that something happened to Yan Lin, so she has just taken her troops to rescue him," he said, revealing Chu Baihan’s whereabouts to Feng Shan.

"What did you say?"

Feng Shan lifted his head abruptly, his clear eyes now seemed to be enshrouded in a dense fog, ready to devour someone at any moment.

Coldness and an eerie aura began to emanate from him as well.

"Miss Chen, why do you react this way?"

Zhu Yinian looked at Feng Shan with a strange gaze.

He had been a general for so many years, yet it was the first time he felt such a terrifying aura from a maidservant.

Feng Shan took a deep breath, laboriously suppressing his own malevolent energy.

He spoke with difficulty, "This servant simply did not expect... that the Princess would abandon the people of the entire city for the sake of a man."

His heart ached fiercely.

Was Yan Lin really that important to her?

In the past six years, he was basically aware of her actions on the battlefield.

It was said that to save villagers, her palm had been pierced through.

She had also risked losing half her life for the people of a city.

As a general of Nanduan Kingdom, defending the ancestors and protecting the people were probably etched deep in her bones.

When she entered the barracks and donned the commander’s armor, even at the cost of her life, she would not neglect the people.

But now, she was abandoning the people of Tongzhou for a man.

She...

Feng Shan clutched at where his heart was, struggling to breathe.

Rather than saying he was angered by her abandoning the city’s people, it was more accurate to say he was jealous that Yan Lin was more important than her own mission.

"I also did not expect the Princess to make this decision. However, Yan Lin got into trouble because of Nanduan Kingdom, and he is the Princess’s husband; both emotionally and rationally, the Princess should go and save him," General Zhu sighed and then said these words.

"Yan Lin is definitely not worth her sacrifice!"

Feng Shan said resentfully.

"Miss Chen, why would you say such a thing?"

Zhu Yinian’s inquisitive gaze remained on Feng Shan.

Feng Shan lowered his gaze, concealing the unfettered hatred growing in his eyes.

He spoke slowly, "This servant is merely aware of some grievances the Princess suffered back in Yan Country."

"It must all be misunderstandings. If the Princess really was aggrieved, she wouldn’t care so much about Yan Lin. She has already placed Yan Lin at the top of her heart," he ventured.

Zhu Yinian continued muttering.

"No, she didn’t, she didn’t place Yan Lin at the top of her heart!"

Feng Shan was like a thoroughly enraged wolf as he roared, his features somewhat fierce.

Noticing that Zhu Yinian’s expression became even weirder.

He clenched his fists tightly, then restrained himself and said, "Sorry, General Zhu, I lost my composure. My wound hurts badly, so I can’t control my emotions."

"It was my lack of consideration. Rest well, and if there’s anything wrong, just tell the people outside."

Having said this, Zhu Yinian quickly walked out.

...

That night.

The wind from afar brought the scent of blood.

The war drums of the Tongzhou military camp were sounded.

"General, the enemy... they’ve come."

The sentinel quickly came to report the situation.

Zhu Yinian, still in his armor, was sitting in the camp tent.

Hearing the sentinel’s words, his expression unchanged, he simply replied, "Prepare for battle."

"Yes, General."

He took out his long spear and came out of the tent.

And saw Zhu Xinyue hurrying over.

His calm eyes finally rippled.

"Yueyue, it’s very dangerous here, quickly go back with Ali."

He said sternly.

"No, brother, I won’t be a bother, I will be obedient, help you pack things and prepare medicine."

Zhu Xinyue shook her head with tears in her eyes, refusing to go back at all costs.

But this time, Zhu Yinian didn’t waste words, he directly knocked her out and said to the person behind him, "Ali, take the young lady back to the Zhu Residence."

"Yes, General."

As Ali was about to carry Zhu Xinyue away, Zhu Yinian’s steps faltered for a moment.

He said gravely, "After you go back, you don’t need to come to the camp anymore, just stay by her side to protect her. She must not be harmed in the slightest."

"Yes, General," Ali promised firmly.

"General Zhu, it’s now up to us to defend Tongzhou."

At that moment, Yan Lian, donned in silver armor, appeared in front of everyone.

Gone was the frivolousness between his brows, the chill in his eyes colder than the lonely moon above.

Seeing Yan Lian like this, a few clear emotions flickered through Zhu Yinian’s eyes.

The ninth prince of Yan Country... really might not be a do-nothing prince.

"Good. Ninth Prince, the battlefield is blind to kin, the Crown Princess has entrusted me, you must protect yourself."

Zhu Yinian nodded at Yan Lian, then quickly mounted his horse.

"Of course, the eighth prince and his wife haven’t returned safely, and the enemy hasn’t been eradicated, I naturally won’t let myself come to harm," Yan Lian replied as he mounted his horse quickly.

Before leaving, he looked back.

Jian Yun stood in front of the camp tent, her white garment fluttering in the wind.

Those gentle eyes seemed to soften the wind as it passed.

His heart warmed slightly, then he called out loudly, "Wait for me to return safely."

Jian Yun gripped the item in her hand, suppressing the anxiety in her heart, then nodded.

She whispered, "Okay, I’ll wait for your return."

It was only when Yan Lian and Zhu Yinian’s figures were completely out of sight that she lifted her left hand.

In her palm was a piece of paper, left by Chu Baihan.

The sweat from her palm had dampened the paper, but the writing was still clear.

She read those few lines, committed them to heart, and then quickly destroyed the paper.

Looking up again in the direction Yan Lian had left, her tone was resolute, "Alian, the Crown Princess might protect Yan Lin, but I can protect you too."
