The doctor concubine who broke off the engagement was forced to rush to the wedding, but became the

Pei Yi, whose courtesy name was Nandu, was a member of the direct branch of the Pei family, the eldest son of Prince Yan, and the general Pingyuan. Any of these identities made him extremely noble.

The Pei family is the descendant of Pei Gong, one of the three founding dukes of the Jin Dynasty. Pei Gong and the founding monarch Li Heng were sworn brothers when they were bandits. Pei Gong fought in battles for Li Heng, helped the Jin Dynasty conquer half of its territory, and even saved Li Heng's life on the battlefield several times.

Later, Li Heng became emperor and named Pei Gong the only king of the opposite sex in the Great Jin Dynasty, the King of Yan, and the title was hereditary. He also granted the wealthy Yangzhou as his fiefdom, and granted his descendants the right not to go to the fiefdom to serve, but to support Pei's 50,000 troops in the suburbs of Beijing and live in Beijing for a long time, as if he was intending to rule the country together with the Pei family. This was regarded as a good story at the beginning of the founding of the country.

But the Great Jin Dynasty has gone through four generations, and the current monarch is not the original Li Heng after all, and the Pei family has not saved his life many times. However, the Pei family enjoys the taxes of Yangzhou in the capital, and even maintains an army of 50,000 in the suburbs of Beijing.

The number of imperial guards responsible for the defense of the capital was only 30,000.

What would the person sitting in that seat think?

If the Pei family had not remained neutral in the court all these years, served as loyal ministers, never involved in party disputes, and taken humility and low-keyness as the norm for the descendants of the Pei family, the Pei family would probably have been in turmoil and fallen among the many aristocratic families of the Jin Dynasty.

Pei Yi pinched his brows and said, "The Pei family motto is to be loyal to the emperor and love the country, and not to participate in the fight for the throne. When I return to the capital, I will hand over the military power. Except for the 30,000 Pei family soldiers left after the war, the rest of the imperial army will be returned, and I will just claim to be sick and not go out."

Fan Xingyang felt aggrieved and said, "I don't care which party they belong to. If they dare to hinder me from killing the Turks, I will overturn their business as well!"

A few people talked in the tent, but it was nothing more than some worried complaints, which helped to cheer them up. At the welcoming banquet in the evening, they all controlled their tempers and managed to finish the meal in a friendly manner with He Zheng and others.

Even though He Zheng was trying to win over the Prince of Yan's Mansion for the Second Prince at the banquet, Pei Yi was able to patiently deal with him one by one.

But, it's still very frustrating.

After seeing off He Zheng and the others, Pei Yi blew a whistle to call over his warhorse Zhuiyun. The horse's loud and clear neighing was the king of horses.

"Come on, run a few laps with me."

Pei Yi patted Zhuiyun's neck, mounted the horse, and pulled the reins. Zhuiyun understood what his master meant and galloped towards the woods near the military camp.

After running a few laps in the forest and breathing in the cold wind, Pei Yi felt that the depression in his heart was relieved a lot.

But he had produced a lot of smelly sweat, and because of the important battles in the past few days and Liang Qixing's serious injury, he had no time to take a shower. He just quickly fetched some water and wiped his body.

He just happened to remember that there was a hot spring in this forest. He discovered it one night when he was unable to sleep due to thinking about a battle strategy, so he went out for a horse race with Zhuiyun.

It was just that the war was intense, and he never came to take a bath after that. Thinking of it tonight, he couldn't help but ride Zhuiyun over, let the horse go to graze, walked to the shore, took off his clothes and hung them on a branch, and jumped into the water.

After swimming around, I finally felt the refreshment I hadn't felt in months. When I was about to get out of the water, I heard a series of light footsteps coming from the water's edge. The steps were as light as those of a young woman.

But this is the woods near the Northern Frontier military camp. The mountain environment is harsh and it is winter now, not the time for hunting. This woman cannot be a family member of a hunter in the mountains.

There are no young women in the Northern Frontier Army, so who is coming?

Could it be a Turkic spy?

Thinking of the Turkic spies, Pei Yi became very cautious. Not far from him, near the shore, there was a huge rock embedded in the shore, extending above the water, a head's distance from the water surface.

Pei Yi took a deep breath and swam quietly under the boulder. When he got under the boulder, he showed his head, took a breath, and then stayed quietly underneath, waiting to see who the person was.

He heard the footsteps on the water getting closer and closer. When they reached above the stone, the footsteps disappeared. After a moment of silence, he heard a rustling sound again. He didn't know what the person was doing above.

After a while, there seemed to be a flash of light before my eyes, and then I heard a splash, and the sound of someone falling into the water.

He hid under a rock and looked out, and saw a woman's head emerging from the water. She had her back to him and her long hair was disheveled, which scared him.

Afterwards, the woman was seen swimming leisurely to the center of the water in the rippling waves like a mermaid. The exquisite and plump curve of her back was clearly visible, and her long black hair spread out around her, as soft as the softest water grass.

I just couldn't see the face, so I didn't know who the person was.

Pei Yi thought that if this place was a Turkic spy, since it was close to the northern border military camp, the woman would definitely not dare to swim in the hot spring pool so leisurely.

But if this woman is really a Turkic spy, wouldn't it be a disaster if I let her go?

Just as he was hesitating, the sound of Zhuiyun's horse hooves was suddenly heard. It was probably because the horse had eaten enough grass and was worried about its master's safety, so it wanted to guard its master by the hot spring pool.

At this moment, the woman in the water also heard the sound of horse hooves. She thought someone had broken in on horseback, so she dived into the water in the blink of an eye and disappeared in an instant.

After a while, Pei Yi felt something slippery grabbing his little Pei. He felt a pain and couldn't help but cry out.

When Zhuiyun heard his master's cry of pain, he hurriedly ran to the top of the boulder and let out another louder long cry.

Then, he stopped on a huge rock and looked around, but his owner was nowhere to be seen.

What it doesn't know is that a life-and-death struggle is taking place underwater.

Xie Zhichan didn't know what bad luck he had. Today he finally had some time and wanted to take a good bath in the hot spring pool here.

She found this hot spring by chance one day when she was out collecting herbs. She also secretly inquired about the soldiers around her and heard that they all said they didn't know there was a hot spring nearby. Only then did she dare to take a bath here.

The conditions in the military camp are really limited, and the weather is cold. Even if you boil hot water, you can only get one bucket, and the water will be cold before you finish washing your hair.

She was sweating all over while performing the operation on Liang Qixing. She was so tired last night that she just wiped herself and went to sleep. She was busy all day today. It was time to wash off her sweat-smudged makeup and put on a new one. Her greasy white hair also needed to be washed and re-dyed.

This huge rock was like a natural diving platform and was her favorite place to enter the water. As usual, she first applied the shampoo extracted from herbs on her hair, then applied the makeup remover she developed on her face, and then jumped into the water.

Her white hair soaked in the water, and when she came out of the water, her hair was black. The old lady's makeup on her face was also washed away by the hot spring water, revealing the face of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, as delicate and beautiful as a first blooming peach blossom.

The water droplets slid down her cheeks to her chest and sank back into the water, a perfect blend of innocence and beauty.

Xie Zhichan swam in the water for a while, and his body, which had been tired for several days, finally felt relaxed. He was about to take a good bath when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves.

She was naked at the moment. She looked around and saw that the only place where she could hide was under the huge rock where she entered the water. Because there was some distance between them and there was no moon tonight, she did not see Pei Yi hiding underneath. So she took a few deep breaths and dived into the water to swim over.

Xie Zhichan swam to the bottom of the boulder when she was about to lose her breath. In her previous life, she always wore goggles when swimming and was not used to swimming with her eyes open in the water, so she swam this distance with her eyes closed.

I grabbed it casually, and I didn't know what I grabbed. I just felt it was soft and slippery, and seemed to be getting thicker and harder.

What kind of aquatic creature can change like this?

She remembered that there was no such magical species in the "Encyclopedia of Cosmic Creatures" that she had read in her previous life!
