Su Qian placed the soup on the table in front of him. "I mean, am I not dressed as a man now? And in order to avoid suspicion and to avoid the eyes and ears of Gao Jiarong and the man in the palace, the courtyard where I live is a little far from where you are."

"On weekdays, it's not convenient for us to get together all the time, otherwise it's easy to get into trouble."

"If you have something to say, you can send me a letter like before, and use this seal. Even if someone else robs it, they won't necessarily link it to you."

Su Qian's eyes were bright: "Don't you think so?"

The gloom in his eyes was suppressed a little, but some traces remained that were difficult to erase.

What he said did sound somewhat reasonable, but how could someone as smart as him be so easily fooled by Su Qian's words?

He slowly tasted the soup. For some reason, the soup that he had always found delicious tasted very bland today.

He suppressed his emotions and didn't look at her. He advised sarcastically, "Your excuse is really not very good, but I do think it is necessary to remind you."

Su Qian didn't understand what he meant: "What?"

Lu Huan unconsciously pulled the corners of his mouth, and his voice became a little colder: "You have a good plan, you have a lot of little ideas, and you are eloquent. But I always feel that... one day, you will definitely capsize in the gutter."

His tone was calm, but inside... there were turbulent tides.

Su Qian: "..."

Nameless jealousy flared up in his belly, and he reiterated his old order, "Also, when you chose to come to me, I told you that you can't leave without my permission!"

"Now, I bring up the past just to remind you... Su Zhao, don't act on your own just because you are smart."

"This is not a place where you can come and go as you please!"

"Put away your little tricks. If you do it again, I will lock you up! Then... I want to see how you can escape after your wings are broken."

Su Qian: "..."

This time, it seems that I have really offended someone tough.

She didn't know why, but she always wanted to provoke Lu Huan again and again. It was obvious that he was not her opponent, nor was he as considerate to her as Yan Xuanye.

Her heart sank, and she was quiet for a moment.

Su Qian, ah Su Qian, how dare you?

Just as Lu Huan said, put away your cleverness, put away your self-righteousness, and stop saying things that reveal your true thoughts.

She retracted the thorns on her body and said calmly, "I know."

……

In Qingzhou, under the reflection of the blood-red setting sun, everything in sight was red, and there was billowing smoke everywhere in and outside the city.

Ma Qi cut off the head of one of the captives neatly, blood spurting out. He walked to Yan Xuanye with the head in his hand, "Your Highness."

Yan Xuanye nodded, and then spoke to the row of soldiers kneeling in front of him, "You have seen what happened to this man just now. If you don't want to end up like him, surrender as soon as possible."

"As long as you are willing to submit to our army, I can spare the lives of your family members."

Yan Xuanye glared at everyone coldly, "It's fine if you don't care about yourselves, but could it be that... you don't care about the life and death of your family members?"

The kneeling group felt a little relieved and turned to look at the expressions of the people around them. Everyone was waiting for the first person to come forward.

Yan Xuanye saw their hesitation and said, "If you don't want to surrender, it's fine."

He paused, "But..."

The kneeling people immediately looked up at him. After he had whetted their appetite, he continued, "If you are unwilling to surrender, I can guarantee that your families will definitely become the victims of our army's swords after the city is captured."

"If you don't believe me, just try. I will let you live until you see the moment your family members die."

As soon as these words came out, some upright people immediately cursed at him, "Bah, you shameless grassland people, you actually use the lives of our family members as a threat."

"We, the people of Nanchang, will never surrender to the enemy, even if we die! You should just give up on this idea."

Yan Xuanye sneered, turned around and left while instructing, "Ma Qi, only give them a cup of tea. If anyone is willing to surrender, that's fine. If not, put them in the military prison and make other arrangements after we capture the city."

Machi clenched the knife in his hand and said with full strength, "Yes!"

The first thing Yan Xuanye did when he returned to the tent was to wash his hands.

Perhaps it was because of Su Qian, but every time he killed someone and returned home, the first thing he did was to deal with the stains and odor on his body.

After cleaning up, he changed into clean clothes, opened the curtain and walked out, looking in confusion towards the direction of Qingzhou City in the distance...

The wind blew up his hair and braids, making them messy and look quite sad. From a distance, they looked as unpredictable as floating clouds.

Ma Qi came over, thinking about what to say to comfort him, but he didn't know how to start, "Your Highness, are you still thinking about the goddess?"

Yan Xuanye: "I just can't understand why she treats me like this?"

March is a carefree person who doesn't understand all the twists and turns. He can't control himself when this matter is mentioned.

Forgetting the purpose of her coming, she did not consider Yan Xuanye's feelings and said directly, "Why else? Such a heartless woman is not worthy of Your Highness!"

"Why not just let her go with Lu Huan? I think it's a waste of manpower and resources to look for such a heartless woman!"

March spoke to himself, his chest heaving, feeling both angry and confused.

He still remembered Su Qian who had barbecue with them on the grassland in the suburbs, Su Qian who brought them milk tea, and Su Qian who would save a portion of every new dish she cooked for them.

She was considerate in everything, and their group had been living with her for more than five months, and they didn't notice anything unusual about her. Who could have thought that she eloped with Lu Huan without anyone noticing?

When did she come up with such an idea?

They were not mean to her. According to Yan Xuanye's status, he had to marry a woman from their country.

But since the moment Su Qian appeared on the battlefield, almost all Fengyuan people changed their minds.

Only a woman like this is worthy of His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan.

They also respected her and honored her, just like they respected Yan Xuanye, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Especially Yan Xuanye, he was so good to her, but she actually repaid them like that and gave them such a surprise.

It's really ridiculous.

All the efforts, respect, and happy times spent together have become a bubble at this moment.

"Machi, shut up!" Yan Xuanye suddenly turned around and glanced at him coldly. There was a very strong warning in the man's dark eyes.

Ma Qi saw that at that moment, there was a flash of blood in Yan Xuanye's eyes.

He thought that if he continued talking, perhaps Yan Xuanye would use practical actions to force him to shut up.

March cursed angrily, "What a lovesick man."
