Wen Jiu looked at herself in the mirror and saw that she was an aggressive and stunning beauty. In modern times, she would not pursue a man like this. Women who are too aggressive are generally not to be messed with. It's so hateful. She has never been in a relationship.

Qingfeng and Qinglong below took care of it and went upstairs and knocked on the door, "Come in"

"Master, we have dealt with them. These people are all assassins..." Qingfeng said, looking at Xiao Jue's face.

"Oh, so impatient? Can't you at least wait until I win this battle?" Xiao Jue said without much expression, "Don't think about leaving any of them alive if you meet them again, just kill them. There are only a few of them anyway, so it doesn't make much sense to try them or not."

"As you command," the two of them withdrew, and Qinglong asked Qingfeng, "Qingfeng, do you think our Crown Prince's Consort is a little bit..."

"You'd better not say anything about her. The last time the master was injured like that was because of Miss Wen..." Qingfeng whispered

Qinglong was surprised and then covered his mouth again. It was better for him to keep his mouth shut to avoid being silenced.

Wenjiu really couldn't fall asleep, so she simply lay on the roof looking at the stars, thinking to herself that this was not a solution. Either she and Xiao Jue went their separate ways, or she gave up the carriage and rode horses instead, which would be faster. The moon came out, and the moonlight tonight was really nice, with a gentle breeze and a bottle of wine. Wouldn't she be very happy? She was really tired of the life of fighting and killing, but her revenge was not yet taken.

She really didn't want to cause any trouble, so she made up her mind to knock on Xiao Jue's door.

"Come in." Xiao Jue had just showered, his hair was still dripping with water, and he was sitting at the desk reading a military book. Underneath was something that looked like a protective map. He was wearing a pure white suit with most of his chest exposed, revealing his nice muscles. He looked really good like this.

"Prince, I have something to tell you." Wen Jiu retracted his gaze and said to Xiao Jue frankly.

"Why is it you?" Xiao Jue didn't expect it to be her

"Sir, do you know who the assassins are targeting tonight?"

"It's probably me," Xiao Jue smiled bitterly.

"Then do you have any solution?" Wen Jiu asked

"You have?" Xiao Jue looked at her.

"Continuing to be together like this will more or less delay the progress. I think it would be better if we go one step further and go our separate ways," Wen Jiu suggested.

"Are you finding this troublesome? But I promised the General's Mansion that I must protect you, otherwise I will write back." Xiao Jue threatened her. They were about to enter a dangerous area, and he certainly didn't want her to get hurt. After all, he still relied on her to heal him.

"What's the difference between you and a child, complaining? How childish!" Wen Jiu couldn't believe what the dog man said. Is this a general on the battlefield? It's simply...

"We don't have to abandon the carriage, and we don't have to go our separate ways. We can take this road tomorrow morning. It's much closer than the official road, but there will be very few inns along the way, so we have to plan to stay overnight in the carriage or at a hostel," said Xiao Jue, pointing to the winding road on the map.

Wenjiu looked at the road and found it was much closer, but it was mostly steep cliffs. Never mind, this is the only way for now. "Okay," Wenjiu said and prepared to go back.

"I can't sleep, would you like a drink?" Xiao Jue invited Wen Jiu to drink.

"Forget it, I have to travel tomorrow." Wen Jiu refused and went back to his room. He took off his coat, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes and forced himself to sleep. He must not sleep all day tomorrow.

Wenjiu was finally woken up. Was she having a reversed day and night? She couldn't sleep at all during the day. She looked grumpy. No one dared to approach her. Even Xiao Jue thought it was better not to talk to her, so as not to cause bad luck early in the morning. Wenjiu didn't eat breakfast. She washed up and went directly to the carriage. Baizhi quickly asked the shopkeeper to pack the food box and handed it to Qingfeng. She and Xuanling also got on the carriage.

In the carriage, Xiao Jue was far away from her, and the food box was placed on the small table. She had no appetite and had not slept well because she had insomnia last night.

Wen Jiu casually picked up a book on military strategy and started reading it. It was given by her grandfather. She read it with great interest. When she saw a few sentences, she was so shocked that she dared not move her eyes. It said: "Warfare is the art of deception. Therefore, if you are capable, pretend you are incapable; if you are using an attack, pretend you are not using it; if you are near, pretend you are far away; if you are far away, pretend you are near." This is Sun Tzu's Art of War. She turned a few pages back and found nothing. However, the strategies and tactics were not bad. Why would the sentences of Sun Tzu's Art of War appear here?

She suppressed her doubts and wanted to ask Xiao Jiujiu about the book, but then she thought, Xiao Jiujiu is not omnipotent. She was no longer sleepy. Her grandfather's book was very thick, but she benefited a lot from reading it. It seemed that her grandfather really put all his efforts into it. The annotations in red pen were simple and clear. Xiao Jue saw that the haze between her brows was gone, so he took out the food box, opened it and put it on the table for her to eat. She was not polite at all. She picked up the snacks and ate the buns without raising her head. She ate the warm wine easily. She was concentrating and thought it was Xuan Ling and Bai Zhi. She picked up a bun and handed it to the person opposite, "Okay, take it. Don't bother me. Go find Bai Zhi to play."

It seems that she treats him as her maid. Forget it. Just take the bun and sit over there. Let her watch. This will save us from bickering.

Wenjiu took the bookmark and put it in. She closed the book. Her eyes felt a little sore. She had to look at the green plants. She held up the curtain of the carriage with her slender hands and looked outside. She took a deep breath so that she could see clearly. She stretched out her other hand and put it outside the window to feel the wind. Unexpectedly, she didn't feel the wind, but felt the rain. She quickly withdrew her hand. "It's raining, and it seems it won't be light. I forgot that the further south we go in this season, the greater the chance of rain." Wenjiu thought that it was fortunate that she didn't give up the carriage and rode forward. Thinking about it, she looked at Xiao Jue.

"You know, the further south you go, the more abnormal and weird the weather becomes. It rains as soon as you say it will. Miss Wen really knows everything about astronomy and geography." Xiao Jue looked at her and said with a smile.

"Isn't it because the prince is thoughtful? You don't have to play tricks on me by leaving the carriage behind. I've read a lot of gossip in the streets." Wen Jiu gave a casual explanation.

"I'm actually very curious. Miss Wen always says that she comes from the mountains. With all your martial arts skills and years of study, you are truly the best among all the young ladies in the capital. I just don't know who has done that?" Xiao Jue was very curious and did check, but the mountain had been completely wiped out and there was no trace of it. She was the only one living on the mountain, with no neighbors...

"If you are less curious, you can live longer. I am also curious. You made crossbows and armor. Next, you will make weapons and then rebel?" Wen Jiu couldn't help but have evil thoughts when she heard him asking about her.

"Haha, you want to be the queen? How can you be so easily angered? You are so impatient, calm down. I am just curious, and I don't want to explore your secrets." Xiao Jue also said this to her.
