The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

Along with Lu Weiyuan's order to kill, rumors of a goddess riding a dragon spread from Water City to all parts of the country.

Yunzhou.

Lin Qiao was dressed in a neat green dress, with her long hair tied up in a high ponytail. In her hand was a big knife with a chip on the blade, so she changed from chopping to hitting, and smashed it hard on the forehead of the enemy in front of her.

With a dull sound, the bones shattered.

"Leave one alive!" Zhuqueyin wiped the blood off her face and shouted, "If we kill them all, we won't be able to find Sister Yuexin's brother."

Jun Muchen was stationed on an island outside Yunzhou, in charge of the local navy to guard against invasions by foreign bandits.

Out of some shameful mentality and the unyielding exclusion of his own sister, Jun Muchen half-compromised and half-indulged himself in exile to the southernmost tip of Dasheng, and was determined not to go back again in his lifetime. However, he could not have expected that one day he would be kidnapped and used as bait to lure his own sister to come.

This...it would be better to just kill myself and make myself into real bait.

Regardless of whether it was putting his sister in danger because of him, or the merciless ridicule and sarcasm that the girl would surely receive after rescuing him, Jun Muchen was unwilling to endure either one.

In the dark and damp cell where even the air smelled of salty fish, Jun Muchen, whose limbs had been crippled, was racking his brains to think about how he could get the message out.

After careful analysis of various clues, Lin Qiao and others have almost found the place where he is being held.

"Every profession has its own specialty, this is an eternal truth." Lin Qiao kicked open the door and saw the miserable Jun Muxin inside. He turned back and said to Zhu Queyin, "I may not be good at other things, but when it comes to tracking down traces, I am the best in the world."

Jun Yuexin was indeed transferred because of her brother's disappearance, but... in her own words, she was good at leading troops in battle, not finding people and solving cases. If she went into battle herself, she would only be fooled by the other side. It would be better to just leave it to Lin Qiao, who had a good brain.

As for whether she can successfully rescue her brother...that depends on whether the latter is strong enough.

"You are so modest." Zhuqueyin's Chinese was no longer accented.

Lin Qiao asked the people he brought to search everywhere for possible escaped prisoners, and only after he personally confirmed that there was no danger in the cell did he signal Zhu Queyin to enter.

Zhu Queyin teased her and then went forward to check Jun Muchen's injuries. The latter had been imprisoned for a long time, and her body and mind were already very weak, but she still had the strength to speak. Her eyes, which had not seen the sun for many days, could not see clearly who the visitor was. It was not until the two of them spoke that she was completely relieved: "Thank you both for saving me, I..."

"I'll say thank you after you get better." Zhu Queyin took out the medicine powder she made from her pocket and treated the wound with quick movements. "General Jun asked us to save you. She said you brought a lot of pearls and corals home. Saving your life should be able to exchange for a lot of these things."

Her tribe worshipped birds, and birds were in the habit of collecting colorful, shiny things to build their nests.

Now that he has a family and has to raise many children picked up from home, Zhu Queyin will not be polite to him, and Lin Qiao will not think about whether this action is suspected of taking advantage of others: "Saving one person in exchange for two rewards, although this business is refreshing, I still hope that I won't have to do it again in the future."

The place where Jun Muchen was imprisoned was a cave under a cliff by the sea in Yunzhou. It was wet, damp and dark, and could only be entered by a willow-leaf boat. The most important thing was that Lin Qiao found that he seemed to be a little seasick.

"I am grateful for your kindness, you two. I have something important to tell Her Majesty as soon as possible." Jun Muxin coughed and said, "The reason why I was captured is that the soldiers around me were controlled by the evil cult monster with smoke magic. The monster is very good at using poisonous smoke and is hard to guard against. I suspect that he is the leader of the Hongyang Cult who is active in the three states. He... ahem, I am afraid that he is not only in collusion with the local officials of Yunzhou, but also with the officials in the capital..."

"Your Majesty has anticipated these things and has made arrangements." Lin Qiao wiped the blood on the blade with his sleeve and told Jun Muxin, "General, just rest assured and recover..."

As soon as she finished speaking, another person came hurriedly and whispered a few words in Lin Qiao's ear.

The woman who remained calm even when she was seasick or murdered someone revealed a look of surprise that was clearly visible to everyone in the dim light: "This... should not be fake. Neither the Queen nor His Highness would ever pin their ambitions on such an ethereal thing."

She subconsciously wanted to touch the folding fan on her waist, but then she remembered that she had worn practical and non-cumbersome items today in order to save people, so she clapped her hands and turned around in a circle, leaving Zhu Queyin confused: "What's going on? What happened?"

She grabbed Lin Qiao, who was obviously excited, and asked in confusion, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I can't be better." Lin Qiao pulled Suzakuyin with his backhand, "Hurry up, let's go out first. This time, I'm afraid we will really see the divine bird, Phoenix Singing - the skills given by the Queen, no matter how you act coquettishly and stubbornly, I have to watch you practice carefully."

"Ah?" Zhuqueyin made a confused sound.

And in another place.

Also within the territory of Yunzhou.

In a college that has been established for some time.

On the wide school ground, a group of female students in shorts were playing and exercising. They were all around ten years old, with childish faces.

The girls' laughter came through the window. A woman with gentle features was looking at the letter in her hand, shaking her head. Her sigh was full of helplessness, but also revealed a hint of doting: "She always loves adventures. I really don't know what to say."

"Sis, since she is reluctant to blame her and cannot fly directly to the Northern Frontier to discipline her, naturally we can only do what we can behind her." On the opposite side, another beautiful and peaceful woman said with a smile.

Lu Yinggui lay on the table, propped up his head with his hands, and tilted his head to look out the window: "It won't be long before we can see Yuanjun's child with our own eyes. After so many years, I don't know what she looks like, but I think she will be good."

Wang Linghui smiled and said, "If you see that child...don't let yourself be frightened."

Lu Yinggui: "I love her so much, how could I be scared?"

She paused as she thought of something, then stood up and asked Wang Linghui, who was sitting across the table, carefully, "Don't look exactly like that guy, do you?"

Wang Linghui put away the letter with a smile, pretending to be mysterious: "Don't worry, it's not a bad thing, just wait."
