Yun 'er's hands trembled almost reflexively, and the silver chopsticks in his hands fell, making a crisp sound of knocking on a porcelain bowl.
Heavens. He actually asked for his surname. If he had casually mentioned it, he would definitely continue to ask questions. The word Yun was rare. If he accidentally mentioned a big family, people would only need to check the genealogy to know. At that time, where would he fabricate a background for him?
"Qi." Qin Zihe's deep voice sounded like a ghost again. His amber eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of slyness in his eyes.
Heavens. What did he say? How could he say his surname so easily? Before she thought of a countermeasure, even if she didn't help her hide or lie, couldn't she just stay silent and wait for her to save herself?
Yun 'er's little face was covered with nervousness and surprise as he glared at Qin Zihe.
Could it be that he had already planned to reveal her true identity at this moment? Waiting for her to die from the arrows, in front of her father, her home, and her Yue family?
Was he really a demon who had come to torture her?
"Qi?" Qin Mu looked at Qin Zihe in surprise, then looked at Yun 'er." Could it be the imperial surname of Dayue, Qi?”
The moment these words were said, it was like a clap of thunder, exploding the room into a moment of silence. Everyone looked at each other, and what followed was a buzzing discussion. With such a great enemy in front of them, was it too thoughtless to pin such a big crime on a female medical officer?
"Is that so? Yun-er?" Qin Mu ignored Qin Zihe's reply and turned to stare at Yun 'er's pale face.
All the eyes in front of the table looked at her in unison, and their doubtful gazes intertwined into a net around her.
Yun 'er bit her lower lip tightly and clenched her fists. Her knuckles were slightly white. She did not have the courage to raise her head to meet those sharp gazes. She could only look at Qin Zihe on the other side.
"Everyone misunderstood. I was talking about Qi.”When Qin Zihe received that gaze, he was filled with anger, but it was also wrapped in an unwilling look for help. The cunning light in his eyes shone even more brightly, like a child who had gotten his wish and was secretly happy.
Yes, he said that on purpose, to let her experience the feeling of being scared.
One was to tell her that no one could shake her supreme position in Chu Jun's camp. His thin lips could make her the target of everyone's criticism with just a single movement. He also wanted her to know that if she did not go along with what he said, he would not let her off. Secondly, he wanted her to understand that only he could save her.
"Qi? Could it be that Miss Yun 'er is Lord Qi's daughter?”A voice came from somewhere.
"Uncle?" For some reason, Qin Mu looked excited. The corners of his eyebrows were raised, and the corners of his eyes were smiling. He shifted his attention away from Yun 'er and asked Qin Zihe again," Brother, is Yun' er Uncle's daughter?"”
Qin Zihe did not answer him, nor did he pay attention to the doubts of everyone in the banquet. He just looked at Yun 'er with an inexplicable and strange smile, as if he was waiting for the red lips to say what he wanted to hear.
"Yun 'er, are you the daughter of my uncle Qi Li Zhong?”Seeing that Qin Zihe did not answer, Qin Mu did not give up and turned to ask Yun 'er.
This question made Yun 'er dumbfounded. She could only look at Qin Zihe again for help. Was she, or wasn't she?
" No, please don't misunderstand." Qin Zihe seemed to have received a satisfactory response and spoke again." Yun 'er is Lord Qi Lizhong's adopted daughter. She has been living in seclusion in the forest and has been practicing medicine for a long time. Her medical skills are superb, so she was appointed by the Emperor as a female medical officer.”
Everyone accepted her answer, and a look of sudden realization was written on their faces. They exchanged pleasantries with her and began a new round of toasts and new topics. It was only at this moment that Yun 'er heaved a sigh of relief.
However, Qin Mu did not think so. He was not a simple person and was not easy to deal with. Although there was no flaw in Qin Zihe's words, he still felt that something was wrong. He could not put his finger on it. As he thought about it, his eyes lingered on Qin Zihe and Yun 'er's faces.
The cold moon hung in the distant sky, emitting a faint halo. The unique coldness of the frontier fortress seeped into Yun 'er's cheeks. Her cheeks, which had been slightly red from the alcohol, felt a little cold and recovered. She escaped from the house that almost suffocated her and stood inside the city wall to quietly look at the land under the stars.
On the horizon, the army stationed there was her Yue army.
Her father, her brother, her soldiers, and her people. They were all in that direction.
But what about her? When would she be able to return to that direction? With this thought in mind, Yun 'er placed his hand on the cold and damp brick wall covered with thin moss and was lost in thought again.
Suddenly, Yun 'er came back to her senses. Someone was following her.
She felt an inexplicable bone-chilling chill on her back, and the alarm bells in her heart suddenly rang.
Just as she turned around to check, she was suddenly surrounded from behind. Her entire body leaned into a firm embrace. She subconsciously wanted to scream, but her throat was grabbed by an arm that was wrapped around her shoulders.
She was frightened and struggled desperately, but the other party firmly controlled her movements and tightened his grip on her throat. Suddenly, she could not make a single sound for help. Her lungs were severely lacking in oxygen, and her face was red from holding her breath. The shadow of death suddenly shrouded her like layers of dark clouds, and fear immediately rose from the bottom of her feet.
Just when she thought she was going to die like this, an unstoppable darkness flashed in front of her eyes. Her chest was filled with air again, and she couldn't help but cough violently.
Looking closely, it was actually Qin Mu.
"Why…why is it you?" Yun 'er had not yet caught his breath, and the dizziness in front of his eyes had not completely subsided. He could not even speak clearly.
"What else? Do you think it's big brother?”Qin Mu did not seem to feel guilty at all. His handsome face was covered with a thin layer of frost. He had a serious expression, but he raised his eyebrows and teased Yun 'er.
How was that possible? Qin Zihe would never joke with him like this. It should be said that he had never joked about it. Yun 'er did not answer him. He just glared at him with his almond-shaped eyes.
"I was just joking." Qin Mu's face was once again filled with cynicism. He smiled as he approached Yun 'er." Since you're Uncle's adopted daughter, you can be considered my younger sister. You can call me Big Brother Mu."”
"It's better not to, General.”Since Qin Zihe wasn't around, he should be able to call him General. In the Chu Country's military camp, it was better for him to be careful.
" Don't be so reserved, Yun 'er." Qin Mu suddenly rubbed Yun' er's small face, scaring Yun 'er into retreating." Haha, don't be afraid of me. I mean no harm."”
"You, what do you want?"
"I just want to see you and chat with you, okay?”
" This..." It was too inappropriate. Yun 'er was about to reject it, but he thought about it. Sigh, this might be a good opportunity to save the fate of Dayue." Then I'll ask you a small question."”
"You ask." Qin Mu's line of sight was scattered in the vast night sky, and there was no focus.
"Why don't the people and soldiers here feel the pressure of a powerful enemy?”
Qin Mu turned around and looked at her silently for a moment before looking away." The people here are used to war. No matter how dangerous the situation is, they are always so calm.”
How could it be? The fear of death and the desire for life could not be numb just because they had experienced too much.
It was just a perfunctory way of not wanting to answer the question. Forget it, Yun 'er changed the topic." Then, don't you and General Qin plan to plan a strategy to defeat the enemy?”
" Haha, this question is really…" A crafty look flashed in Qin Mu's eyes." You are indeed my uncle's adopted daughter."”
"What do you mean?" Yun 'er was getting more and more confused by him and hurriedly asked.
" We don't need to make any plans, because…" Big Brother already had a good plan to defeat Da Yue. Qin Mu was about to continue, but when he turned around, his eyebrows tightened, and he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"Tell me!" Yun 'er, who was waiting attentively at the side, saw that he wanted to say something but hesitated. He was so anxious that he was about to cry. He did not think too much about it. He was thinking about her Dayue and hurriedly urged him.
"What do you want to say?" A cold and angry voice asked from behind.
Qin Zihe. The tall figure in the shadows had been there for a long time.
"Qin Mu, you go first. I have something to say to her." Although he was talking to Qin Mu, Qin Zihe did not look at him. Instead, he stared at Yun 'er, who was leaning against the wall behind him, and spoke coldly.
"Big, big brother. You…" Qin Mu understood Qin Zihe's personality. He hated it when he talked about military strategies behind his back. His calmness was just a sign of his outburst. If he asked him to leave first, he was afraid that Miss Yun 'er would become his scapegoat.
"Let's go." Qin Zihe's thin lips were pursed into a thin line. His expression could not be seen clearly in his eyes, but waves of coldness emanated from him, making people shudder.
" Big Brother, it's not Yun 'er's fault." For some reason, Qin Mu did not want Miss Yun' er to be reprimanded by his big brother because of him, so he tried to persuade her, even though he knew that everything he said at this moment was superfluous." I came to talk to her. She was just curious, that's why she asked me to talk…"
Qin Zihe didn't say anything. He just glared at him. The anger on his cold face was like a sharp blade that could pierce through people's hearts.
Qin Mu looked back at Yun 'er behind him and apologized softly in his heart. He knew that Qin Zihe's orders were like a mountain that could not be resisted. Yun' er, you can only pray for your own good fortune. "Yes."
