The first night after the retreat, the Eastern Barbarian Army Battalion was unusually calm.

Helian Jing did not say a word the entire time. After camping at night, he had been bored inside his tent, and did not show his face. Helian Cheng sat silently in the general's tent while Di Ying waited quietly at the side. He looked like Di Ying wanted to say something but didn't dare to.

This battle was truly a failure! A complete failure!

How would he face the Eastern Barbarian's elders when he returned, and how would he face the Eastern Barbarian Emperor who had entrusted him with such an important task? Helian Cheng really couldn't imagine!

"The young general …" Di Ying wanted to say something but hesitated.

"If you have something to say, just say it." Helian Cheng frowned, impatience written all over his youthful face.

"Maybe we should have a good talk with the Fourth Prince." Di Ying said softly.

"They've already withdrawn their troops, what else is there to talk about?"

"Then, if the Fourth Prince should explain it to the Emperor, or the Young General?"

Di Ying thought about the division of responsibilities. The order to withdraw the troops was obviously from the Fourth Prince. If the young general had to bear the responsibility, wouldn't the young general be wronged?

Helian Cheng was a little angry, "Could it be that you think this responsibility lies with the Fourth Prince?"

Di Ying was startled: "But..."

Helian Cheng waved his hands and said with a cold face, "Don't bring up this question again. "When I return, I will personally apologize to the Emperor."

Seeing Di Ying's astonishment, Helian Cheng frowned. "Why don't you understand? Fourth Prince cannot fall, if he falls, then our very existence will crumble, understand?! If he is safe and sound, then I will have a chance to rise again, understand? "

"This subordinate understands!" Di Ying immediately replied, "Young General is wise and farsighted, this subordinate's eyes are shortsighted, and does not dare to say anymore!"

Helian Cheng's tone slightly softened. "What needs to be said, still needs to be said."

Di Ying was about to say yes, but at this time, the General's Estate Guards hurried into his tent, looking somewhat panicked: "Young General, something's wrong!"

Helian Cheng was instantly infuriated. "What's so bad about it?"

"The young madam has disappeared!"

"What?"

Helian Cheng stood up, "How come the young mistress has disappeared?"

The guard said: "Just now when we were delivering food to Madam, we found that there was no one in the tent. Madam has gone missing and we have searched everywhere in the camp but have not seen any trace of the young lady. The leader is still looking around and has ordered his subordinates to report to the young general."

Dan Shu had actually disappeared?

Helian Cheng yelled in anger, "The military camp is so big, and a woman has gone missing, can't you guys also discover it? "Where is the patrol camp?"

The guard lowered his head: "The patrol camp said that they didn't find out when the young lady left the barracks."

Helian Cheng angrily smashed his fist on the table, "Could it be that she can disappear into thin air?"

Di Ying hurriedly said: "Young General, please calm your anger. This subordinate will ask the patrol camp again, maybe someone might have slipped up and asked."

Helian Cheng tightly pursed his lips as he sat down. His expression was terrifyingly gloomy.

Di Ying gathered the guards of the patrolling camp and asked all of them in detail. All the patrolling guards said that they had never seen the young lady leave the camp before. Di Ying was also angry now. He blurted out the same question as Helian Cheng, "Could it be that the Young Madam disappeared into thin air?"

At this time, the leader of the General's Estate guards rushed over and whispered to Di Ying: "One of the brothers of the guard team had his hands tied behind his back while he was hiding under the young mistress' bed. His armor was removed, and I'm afraid the young lady has disguised herself as him and left the camp."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm afraid so."

Di Ying was silent for a moment, "Alright. I'll reply to the young general. "

Inside the general's tent, Helian Cheng heard Di Ying's report and his expression had already gradually calmed down.

"I know where she is." Helian Cheng said.

Di Ying was startled. "Young General knows?"

Helian Cheng said with a frown, "I'm afraid that because the army withdrew their Eastern Barbarian, she felt that there was no hope for his revenge, so he went to find Xu Chang."

Di Ying was startled: "Young Mistress wants to collude with Xu Chang to plot a revenge?"

Helian Cheng let out a long sigh, "I'm afraid so."

Di Ying was stunned for a moment: "But... Where would Xu Chang be? Young Mistress, do you know where Xu Chang is going? "

Helian Cheng was silent for a long time, then said: "Tonight, let's go inside the Kang City."

Di Ying was shocked: "Young General, do you mean that Xu Chang had gone to the Kang City?"

Helian Cheng said: "Xu Chang harbors deep hatred towards the Dongluo Emperor, if he fails here, he will definitely not accept it. The Crown Prince of Dongluo is currently in his Kang City. He might even think of sneaking into the Kang City and make a move against the Crown Prince of Dongluo in an attempt to threaten the Emperor of Dongluo. "

Di Ying was dumbstruck, and could not help but exclaim in praise: "The young general is truly far-sighted!"

Helian Cheng glared at Di Ying. "Other than thinking deeply, can you think of any other words to praise me?"

Di Ying scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, "This subordinate … This subordinate has never heard of such things, and does not know how to use words to express this subordinate's respect for the young general. "

"No need to be so respectful, I was just randomly guessing." Helian Cheng stood up and took off his dagger, "Report to the Fourth Prince. We will set off in a moment."

"Yes sir!" Di Ying turned around and walked out. Although the young general was being fierce towards the young mistress, he still cared about her safety in the end.

In the office of the Kang City, Xiao Ran reported the matter of rebuilding the defence of the Kang City after the battle to Feng Qingmo, and thus, waited for Feng Qingmo's approval. Raising his head and seeing Qi Yu who had appeared at the door, Xiao Ran hurriedly bowed to him before turning to Feng Qingmo, "Your Highness, it is already late, so I shall take my leave first. If His Highness the Crown Prince has any reply, this subject shall carry it out immediately. "

Feng Qingmo nodded his head: "Okay, then you can leave first. "You've been busy for two to three days, you should take a good rest as well."

"Yes." Xiao Ran bowed and retreated, then turned and left the house.

Far away, the subordinate beside Xiao Ran whispered: "Master, why is the Princess Qi looking for the crown prince so late? "Could it be …"

That subordinate wanted to say, could it be that the Princess Qi and the Crown Prince had a secret relationship?

Xiao Ran immediately stopped his men, lowered his voice and said sternly: "How dare you presume to discuss the relationship between the crown prince and the Princess Qi? Could it be that you find your head too heavy for your shoulders to bear? "

That subordinate hurriedly lowered his head, "This subordinate dares not. This subordinate's head is not heavy at all."

Xiao Ran glared at his subordinates, "Teaching you all every day, speak less.

The subordinate continued, "This subordinate was wrong, this subordinate was wrong. Subordinate will not dare to do so again! "

Xiao Ran curled his lips, but after a moment of silence, he couldn't help but pinch his chin: "His Highness the crown prince is really good to the Princess Qi!"

The subordinate beside him immediately covered his mouth and laughed. Xiao Ran fiercely patted his subordinate's head and then quickly left.

A slender figure slowly walked out of the darkness. Looking at the direction that Xiao Ran left in, then looking at Feng Qingmo's brightly lit window, he shook his head and sighed.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you sleeping this late?" In the room, Feng Qingmo asked without raising his head as he looked at the new map of Kang City.

Qi Yu quietly walked in and sat opposite of Feng Qingmo.

"If you have something to say, say it." Feng Qingmo said.

"There's still nothing going on with Zhuo Hua?" Qi Yu hesitated for a long time before asking.

Feng Qingmo raised his head, and looked at Qi Yu: "What's the situation?"

Qi Yu was at a loss for words. Aiya, did she misunderstand something? After left, Feng Qingmo said, "I know why you want to leave with her. But there's no need for that. Don't worry, I will investigate some matters clearly for you. "

Had she misunderstood him, or was he playing dumb now?

Feng Qingmo put down the city defense map in his hands and slowly rolled it up. "Don't worry, if there's really something, I won't tell you."

"I'm afraid you've forgotten!" Qi Yu blurted out.

"How could that be?" Feng Qingmo stared at Qi Yu, "When have I ever neglected your matters?"

"Yeah, when did he ever forget about you?" Jun Zibi's voice followed his long legs and walked in. His face was filled with exhaustion, but his eyes were also filled with ridicule, "I say, little girl, why don't you understand your brother at all?"

Qi Yu was startled, she stood up: "You're back?"

Jun Zibi lowered his hands, "Sit, there's no need to get up to welcome me."

Qi Yu curled her lips and sat down.

Feng Qingmo looked a little embarrassed: "It's not a good habit to eavesdrop outside the window."

Jun Zibi said with disdain, "I don't want to eavesdrop on anything. Just walk over and hear it, okay? "

"Alright, alright." Feng Qingmo pointed to the seat beside him, "Sit, Little Yu, pour him a cup of tea."

Qi Yu was not convinced: "It's not like he has no strength, he fell down on his own!"

Jun Zibi shrugged and looked at Feng Qingmo: "Look! I was busy with her affairs, and she didn't want to pour me a glass of water. "

Feng Qingmo helplessly shook his head, "I can give it to you, alright?"

"Please don't!" Jun Zibi stopped his, "When it comes to pouring water for me? I can't afford it. I say, crown prince, don't be too spoiled towards your little sister. Do you know what others think of the two of you? "

Feng Qingmo wanted to stop Jun Zibi from spouting nonsense, but Jun Zibi pretended that he did not understand what Feng Qingmo was trying to say. He poured tea for himself as he said, "I heard it with my own ears, there are some people who find it strange why the crown prince would treat Princess Qi so well. "Although I haven't finished my words, I'm guessing that he thinks that you guys …"

Jun Zibi looked towards Feng Qingmo, and then swept his gaze across Qi Yu's face. Then, he smiled, withdrew his gaze, and started to drink his tea.

Feng Qingmo frowned: "There are too many idle people."

Qi Yu felt quite awkward. Err, indeed, she should not have come to find Feng Qingmo so late.

"I'll go back first!" She stood up.

"Don't be in such a hurry!" Jun Zibi said, "You will leave the moment I arrive, I will understand that you have objections, and will not be willing to see me!"

"Get lost!" Qi Yu was a little angry, "I'm just not willing to see you!"

Jun Zibi laughed: "Then, you don't want to hear about your father either?"

Qi Yu froze. Feng Qingmo asked: "Have you found out where he is?"

Jun Zibi stopped smiling and said: "80%, he is already inside the Kang City. And he may not be good for you. "

"What?" Qi Yu was startled, Xu Chang could actually sneak into the Kang City? And Feng Qingyang's people, were completely unaware of it? She looked at Feng Qingmo, but Feng Qingmo said indifferently: "I expected him to also come to Kang City. "Alright, I'll just wait for him to come. It'll save me the time and effort to find him again."
