"I only believe in those who should be trusted." With that, she lightly said, "Thank you for helping Ping Fei out. I still have matters to attend to so I will be leaving first."

Xia Yue supported Mu Qianxue and left. After walking for some distance, she couldn't help but turn around to take a glance at Zhao Pingqing. She was still standing there with a sad and aggrieved expression on her face.

Mu Qianxue indifferently said, "What, do you think I'm unreasonable?"

"Of course not!" Xia Yue hurriedly denied it, then hesitantly said: "I just think that maybe the even concubine isn't as bad as we thought, otherwise she wouldn't have specially gone to save the princess today."

"That's what she's good at." The corner of Mu Qianxue's mouth congealed into a cold smile, "Shen Xijun is indeed overbearing and willful, but she is like a spear, which allows you to see everything clearly. However, Zhao Pingqing is different, she is an arrow hidden in the darkness, and you don't even know who this arrow will shoot at, or … When you get an arrow through your chest, you don't even know where it came from. Remember, the person with the knife in his smile will always be the scariest because you can't tell which of her words are true and which are false. "

Xia Yue broke out in a cold sweat and nodded, "This servant understands. In the future, no matter what she says or does, this servant will not believe her by even a little bit."

Nineteen casted a sidelong glance at her and said coldly, "Then I'll just turn my head and forget about it. He treats the bad guys like good people and doesn't even know that he was sold."

"No way!" Xia Yue made a face at her as she supported Mu Qianxue back to the Mu residence. Just as they entered the room, Xu Li came over and greeted them softly, "Princess, Young Master Zhang has been here for quite a while. I invited him to the side hall to serve tea."

The Young Master Zhang that Xu Li spoke of was precisely Zhang Qiling, who had lent a military manual to Mu Qianxue in the Myriad Treasures Pavilion that day. Today, it had already reached the agreed three days.

"Got it." Mu Qianxue replied before turning to Xia Yue, "Go to my study room and fetch that half of the military strategy diagram."

"Hold on." Nineteen called out to Xia Yue and hesitantly said, "Princess, after the military diagram is returned, it might not be easy to borrow. Why don't we make a copy first?"

Mu Qianxue smiled and said, "There's no need. All of the array diagrams and notes have already been imprinted into my mind and can be recorded at any time. The military strategy is already useless to me."

"Yes." After Xia Yue left, Nineteen helped Mu Qianxue to the side chamber. When Zhang Qiling, who was waiting for them to enter, saw them, he quickly stood up and greeted, "Greetings, Lady Mu."

Mu Qianxue kneeled down and returned the greeting. "I am truly sorry for making Young Master Zhang wait."

In the past twenty years, he had seen countless beauties, but at this moment, he finally understood what it meant to be a peerless beauty with a gorgeous appearance; these so-called beauties, in front of her, were nothing more than mediocre powder that could not even be mentioned in the same breath.

Nineteen coughs brought Zhang Qiling back to reality, but it was still difficult to hide the amazement in his eyes. "In the past when I was reading books, I saw that the women in the books had a beauty that was as beautiful as a phoenix falling from the sky. I always thought that it was an exaggerated description.

Towards his praise, Mu Qianxue only gave a shallow smile, "Sir is too kind, no matter how beautiful you are, you're just skin and skin. A hundred years from now, you will still be left in the dust."

Zhang Qiling smiled and said, "Even so, beautiful things can always make people happy." Then he suddenly said, "Thank goodness! Fortunately! "

Mu Qianxue slightly knitted her brows. "Fortunately what?"

Zhang Qiling took the tea from the servant and replied with a smile, "Fortunately, I lent the military strategy map to Miss Mu. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to see your heavenly appearance today."

"I should say that it was fortunate that it was Qianxue. If it wasn't for Young Master Zhang's generous loan, how could Qianxue be fortunate enough to see the long-lost battle strategy diagram."

"Lady Mu is too courteous." With that, Zhang Qiling said with some regret, "It's a pity that only half of the book is left. I don't know where the other half has gone. But don't worry, Lady Mu. I will definitely try to find it."

Mu Qianxue hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she didn't reveal the matter of the other half of the battle technique map in her hands. Mu Qianxue hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she didn't reveal the matter of the other half of the battle technique map in her hands.

At this time, Xia Yue brought out the military strategy diagram. Mu Qianxue personally handed it over to Zhang Qiling and once again expressed her gratitude, "Qianxue owes Sir Zhang a favor. In the future, if Sir Zhang needs anything, I will do my best!"

Zhang Qiling accepted the military art manual and looked at Mu Qianxue with a smile that was not a smile, "Is what Lady Mu said true?"

Mu Qianxue gave a faint smile. "Although Qianxue is a woman, she also understands the principle of having words."

"Good!" "It's a deal!" Zhang Qiling laughed out loud. His facial features were feminine, but every time he laughed, it gave people a clear feeling, like a ray of sunlight cutting through the cloudy sky.

After sitting back down, Zhang Qiling looked at Mu Qianxue for a long time. He suddenly lowered his head and smiled, causing the latter to feel quite strange. "Sir Zhang, what are you laughing about?"

Zhang Qiling laughed. "I always thought that women only loved pink pearls. I never thought that there would be a woman who likes to read military books and would even be willing to throw away ten thousand gold. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it."

"My apologies to Young Master Zhang." After a round of courtesy, the two of them began to talk about their common understanding of military strategies and methods. After Mu Qianxue had just said half a sentence, Zhang Qiling had already understood what she wanted to say and quickly followed up with her thoughts, surprising Mu Qianxue.

Regardless of whether it was Xiao Ruo Ao or Dongfang Shan, they had both led their troops to battle and killed the enemy with their blood. However, their understanding of the art of war was inferior to Zhang Qiling's.

The more he spoke, the more excited he became. His eyes lit up as he said, "My family has collected a lot of military books passed down by our ancestors. Although they are not as precious as this military art, they are still rare and excellent items. Princess will like them if she sees them."

Mu Qianxue regretfully said, "It's a pity that it's far away in Jiangning, so I can't get a glimpse of it."

"It's nothing, just get someone to send it over." Without waiting for Mu Qianxue to say anything, he had already called over the attendant who was standing behind the chair, "Right now, return to Jiangning on horseback and bring back the military manual that I stored in the study!"

Xia Yue said in astonishment, "Jiangning is hundreds of miles away from here. This time, it will probably take at least ten or two days."

The corners of Zhang Qiling's eyes flew up as he confidently said, "Traveling day and night. With the addition of the Thousand Li Precious Horse, they will be able to make it back in six days." With that, he took out the jade pendant he carried with him and passed it to the servant as a keepsake, "Go."
