"The prince may have important matters to discuss with you," Hong Ying lied.

The guards outside, such as Congyi, were pleased. If things kept going this way, there might be a new mistress in the residence soon.

Chu Suifeng did not linger long in Lin Ziyin’s room, only staying for the time it took for an incense stick to burn.

Qiaoqiao was finally relieved.

As soon as Chu Suifeng left, Qiaoqiao came to Lin Ziyin’s side. Seeing that Lin Ziyin’s clothes were properly adjusted, she felt immensely relieved.

Lin Ziyin noticed Qiaoqiao discreetly appraising her. She knew Qiaoqiao was a stickler for rules and loyal to her. So concerning Qiaoqiao’s internal conflict, she could understand. After all, Chu Suifeng was her fiancé; it should be normal for them to spend more time together.

Qiaoqiao wavered for a long time, but in the end, as a proper maid, she didn’t start blabbering in front of Lin Ziyin.

Lin Ziyin let out a sigh of relief. It would be awkward if Qiaoqiao chose to start discussing this matter now.

The next morning came after a peaceful night’s dream.

Just as expected, the enemy across the river really raised the white flag of truce.

Everyone in Border City was elated when they saw this. Even the common people out shopping on the streets were significantly more than usual.

True to her words, Lin Ziyin had breakfast and then led her entourage to the camp. Once at the camp, she headed directly to the canteen.

Chu Suifeng’s men indeed worked very efficiently, having butchered and segmented the dead cows overnight. The offal and bones had been cleaned and piled up high.

Because Lin Ziyin’s team had provided them with down jackets, even though the soldiers had been busy all night and couldn’t eat any beef, none complained.

"Today we’re upgrading the food. We’ll have beef offal noodles and glass noodles," Lin Ziyin kindly informed the Firehead Army.

The Firehead Army didn’t know her identity, but they did know she was close to the prince. Since they had heard that the prince treated this "young man" exceptionally well, everyone accepted her order without objecting.

As a result, all the soldiers enjoyed a hearty meal of beef offal noodles and glass noodles at noon.

After lunch, Chu Suifeng’s men and Yu Sha’ou packed up the beef. Their team split into two.

One group quickly took the frozen beef back to Shili Village. The other escorted the injured cows and their feed back at a slower pace.

Out of a thousand head of cattle, more than half were gone. It was not a small number.

But Lin Ziyin was not greedy. She left some of the bones and didn’t take any of the offal, leaving it all in the camp to improve the soldiers’ meals.

Bone soup was delicious, and together with large amounts of chili peppers delivered from Shili Village, it was a treat. The complexion of the soldiers also became much healthier these few days.

Chu Suifeng occasionally heard praises for Lin "young master" in the camp, and his face was often seen with a smile.

Upon observing this, his high-ranking officers were determined to get on the good side of the future princess, no matter what it took.

The period of leisure didn’t last long; the ferocious counter-attack from the North Country soon arrived.

And it came without any warning. Early in the morning, Chu Suifeng’s men hadn’t even had the chance to open the city gates when the North Country’s soldiers were already scaling the walls with ladders.

The sharp alarm bells immediately rang out.

All the soldiers on standby also hurried towards the city tower for reinforcement.

It wasn’t even dawn, yet the enemy had sneaked out under the cover of the night, and they had no inkling of it. Billy and Bayal were indeed formidable.
