Dress up as a sickly person to capture the villain princess!

Xia Zhiyuan sat on the bed, watching the broadcast given to her by the system. Her fingertips were still rolling up the quilt on the bed. She smiled as she looked at Zhao Changlin sleeping soundly.

"Congratulations, host. It seems that the plan is going as the host expected~"

"In a few days, the host's goal will be achieved!"

Xia Zhiyuan did not feel happy in advance about the system's congratulations. Before the last step, she would never take it lightly and would not let her guard down against Lu Boshan.

"That may not be the case, but the way things have developed so far is still very satisfactory to me."

Pulling the quilt up a little to cover His Highness's chest, Xia Zhiyuan looked tender as he leaned over, used his fingers to push aside the fine black hair on Zhao Changlin's forehead, and gave him a kiss.

“Wow…Ji Won…Ji Won…”

Qinglie's soft calling voice rang in her ears again. Zhao Changlin stretched out her arm and disturbed the bedding that Xia Zhiyuan had just laid out. Her fingertips unconsciously scratched in the air, as if trying to hook something.

Then, the slightly bent fingertips hooked onto the open palm, and the two hands intertwined. Xia Zhiyuan sighed in his heart, thinking that he really couldn't do anything about His Highness.

I used to think that His Highness was very majestic with a sullen face, but now that I have gotten to know him better, I find that he is actually cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He’s not that cold, but rather the kind that is both cold and serious.

No one can stand the heat, including her.

"I'm here, Zhiyuan is here, Your Highness...have a good sleep again."

Her thumb gently rubbed the back of Zhao Changlin's hand, as if coaxing a child.

Xia Zhiyuan supported his chin with his other hand and continued to watch the broadcast in his mind.

The cold wind blowing through the mountains and forests seemed to be ringing in his ears. Even though he was in a warm hall, Xia Zhiyuan always felt a little cold.

It's over. Could it be that because of the continuous working these days, my body has collapsed without me noticing?

It seems that I still need to drink more tonic.

Just as he thought of this, Xia Zhiyuan felt an itch in his nose and sneezed a little.

It is really unpredictable and people are subject to misfortunes at any time. Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear?

……

The bandits standing on the cliff looked at a group of cavalrymen riding fast horses on the flat path, and they already understood what was going on.

"I'm afraid this is the pathfinder sent by the loyal and brave young marquis..."

Rubbing his frozen red hands, the bandit wearing a brown sable hat had excitement in his eyes. The scimitar at his waist had been sheathed for a long time, but this time he could finally use it to drink blood!

"You are smart for once. You finally guessed it right this time."

"What a joy."

A familiar head popped out beside him. It was the guy who had just talked back to him.

He really deserves a beating. If you don't know, you would think this guy is your follower. But I just said a few sarcastic words to him, and it was like a dog-skin plaster stuck to my body, which I couldn't get rid of.

He will definitely go find the village chief later and make a thorough complaint to ask this androgynous guy to stop following him!

"Only a fool can't see that."

"Hey, are you asking me this because you think I'm a fool? I know you're not a good person, you're full of bad intentions, and you're always thinking about how to make fun of me, right?"

He pointed his index finger at the feminine man with an indignant tone. Just as the two men were about to fight, a big gray wolf came in and sat between them.

The sense of oppression and momentum is very strong.

It swept its furry tail and snorted twice, scaring the two men so much that they immediately stopped talking.

"Be prepared. If the scouting team returns tonight, the army will set out early tomorrow morning."

If the cavalry squad returns to the main force safely, it naturally means that there is no danger ahead.

So they cannot stop it rashly, as this will alert the enemy.

If they had not known the news in advance, according to their bandit behavior, they would have rushed up and slaughtered this well-dressed cavalry squad without thinking twice, and took away all the valuables on them and dumped their bodies in the wilderness.

If you really do this, you will surely suffer a disaster.

"Yes, Village Master."

The two men each received their orders and went back to arrange the matters they were responsible for. Only the leader of Longya Village was left standing on the cliff, watching the cavalry squad riding their horses and almost disappearing at the end of the mountain path.

They are indeed well-equipped, armed from toes to teeth. If they want to fight, they must take advantage of the natural advantages.

If they fought head-on, even if their entire village sacrificed their lives, they would still not be able to defeat this group of battle-hardened soldiers.

Holding the smooth brocade bag in her palm, her grey fur fluttering in the wind, she thought of the instructions given to her by the young lady from the imperial court.

"This will help you win a great victory against the army of the Loyal and Brave Marquis, but remember not to pursue them, just drive them out of the pass."

"Can you do this?"

The thin woman standing in front of him had a sickly pale face, but the words she spoke were like the sound of an inspiring war drum.

"Since I promised you, I can certainly do it. But I hope that the young lady from the court will also do what she promised to our Longya Village."

He tore open the brocade bag with his fingertips, and saw that there was indeed a piece of cloth inside. The characters on it were beautifully written, just like the green bamboos in the mountains, which would rather break than bend even with piles of snow.

For fear of being discovered by the opposing army, the bandits did not light a fire to keep warm tonight. Instead, each of them wrapped themselves in animal skins, stood straight in the cold wind, and performed their duties.

The snow and wind were not any colder than those of the previous few days, so they were already used to it.

In addition, tonight, the village chief ordered that each person be given a bag of dried meat. Although the portion was not much, it was gone in a few bites.

But to them, this is the most delicious food.

The next day, dawn.

As the village chief expected, this large army did not stay in the distant woods for a while, but instead set off immediately after resting for a night.

It was obvious that he had something urgent to do and was rushing to get out of the mountain.

Several people carrying shovels climbed up the mountain panting, wiped the sweat from their faces and let out a long sigh. Their bodies were covered with mud, and there was even a lot of mud on their faces and eyebrows.

It looks ridiculous.

"Report to the village chief, we have completed the mission...!"

"The holes there have been dug... the ropes and everything have been buried, there's no trace left!"

They held the shovels in their hands and smiled with relief on their faces, as if they would never have to suffer hard times again after today.

"Well done, now go prepare the kerosene."

"Remember, don't apply too much, just apply just enough."

The forest is now covered with snow and fog, making it difficult for fire to start, so they have to keep the fire within a controllable range so as not to let the fire affect their brothers and sisters in the village.
