Before nightfall, the army arrived at the front line.
As Qin Zihe had expected, the flames of war were burning fiercely at the frontier fortress. A sea of red flames could even be seen from afar. Corpses were everywhere, and the army was in chaos. The Chu Kingdom retreated as they fought. They had already retreated into the city. The Great Yue, who had underestimated the enemy, did not worry at all. They had also broken through the border and attacked the important town of Yangcheng. They had provided food and grass for a month to prepare for the attack.
It seemed that the Emperor of the Great Yue did not receive the news of Qi Yun 'er's failed assassination attempt. He thought that his greatest threat, Qin Zihe, was no longer in the Desolate World.
Qin Mu, the general of the Chu army stationed in Yangcheng, was his cousin and also his former subordinate. Ever since he left the front line with injuries, he had been understanding everything on the battlefield through him. Ever since he suspected Yun 'er's identity, he had sent a messenger pigeon to him, telling him to retreat in order to advance and defend in order to attack. He had lured the Yue army, who had underestimated the enemy, into believing that he had been killed, and also made them lower their guard.
As expected, Emperor Qi, who had underestimated the enemy, saw that the morale of the Chu army was unstable and turned to attack and defend. He thought that Qi Yun 'er had already succeeded. Then, he saw that the Chu army had repeatedly retreated and was even more blinded by the easy victory. He chased and attacked all the way to the city of Yang City.
In Yangcheng City, the moon rose, the lanterns were lit, and the autumn wind blew the night cool.
Qin Zihe led three thousand elite soldiers to the city, which undoubtedly greatly strengthened the strength of the Chu army. It also greatly boosted the morale of the Chu army. Qin Mu, who was guarding the city, personally led the soldiers to welcome them. He even hosted a banquet in the garrison residence that night.
As the accompanying doctor, Yun 'er was naturally invited as well. Initially, she felt lucky that Qin Mu and Qin Zihe did not immediately start discussing strategies and tactics. They were still in the mood to hold a feast. Perhaps the situation facing her Great Yue would not be too severe.
However, when she saw the bustling city of Yangcheng, the night market was like a fire, and there was no smell of war and war, Yun 'er's heart faintly rose with an ominous premonition. This city did not look like a border town that was facing a siege at all. Even the faces of the people on the street did not show the slightest worry or panic. They were filled with a slight joy of peace, which made it difficult for her to calm down. Yes, this city did not have the aura of war.
Yang City, which had no aura of war, made her so afraid.
Only a person with enough confidence would dare to be exposed to threats without panicking and remain calm.
Only an army that was confident enough to easily subdue the enemy could make a city so peaceful, and the people here could still eat and drink without worry at this moment.
The calmer and more confident Yang City was, the more dangerous her Da Yue was.
However, she had no way to give her father any news. She was still helpless.
She had said that she hated Qin Zihe. She hated him for forcing her to face all of this. This kind of pain was more torturous than death.
But what she hated more was that she was always so clear-headed and helpless.
Perhaps, she should only hate herself.
