The ruckus in the military camp lasted until the second half of the night before it died down. At this time, Yun Ruo Ran also felt very sleepy, so she didn't want to close her eyes to sleep.

Before she even fell asleep, Yun Ruo Lu was hugged by someone and woke up.

Because of the late sleep, the lights in the room were still on. When Yun Ruo Lu opened her eyes, she saw Yuchi Chen's enlarged face in front of her.

Before Yun Ruo Lu could react, Yuchi Chen kissed her.

"What are you doing?!"

Yun Ruo Lu pushed Wei Chen away angrily, wondering what was going on. She had been intimate with those women in front of her and had come to her room in the middle of the night to take liberties with them. She really couldn't take it anymore!

After being pushed off the bed by Yun Ruo, Yuchi Chen did not get angry. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and smiled as he flipped himself onto the bed, saying, "You are this king's woman. This king will do whatever he wants."

With regards to Yuchi Chen's performance after the battle, Yun Ruo Lu was extremely disappointed and felt that she had misjudged him. Only now did she finally see through Yuchi Chen's true personality.

The furious Yun Ruo Lu punched Yuchi Chen in the chest and pushed him out of the bed again. She snappily said, "If you want to play, go find the woman outside. I don't have time to accompany you!"

This time, Yuchi Chen quickly got up and threw Yun Ruo Lu onto the bed.

Yun Ruo Lu cursed in her heart, "Still trying!"

Without the slightest hesitation, he pressed his knee against Yuchi Chen's abdomen. If this had happened in the past, he would definitely have been in so much pain that he curled up on the ground.

Not this time. Although Yuchi Chen's face was a little pale, he managed to hold on.

While Yun Ruo Lu was still in doubt, an arrow flew in from the window and brushed past Yuchi Chen's back.

Yun Ruo Lu stared at the arrow in astonishment. She thought that if Yuchi Chen had not pushed her down, the arrow would have struck her body! It turned out that Yuchi Chen had just wanted to protect her.

"You … Are you alright? "

Knowing that she had wrongly blamed Yuchi Chen, Yun Ruo Lu felt a tinge of guilt.

Yuchi Chen pressed down against Yun Ruo Lu's body for a while before speaking up in anger and embarrassment, "Hold …" Help This King up! "

Hearing Yuchi Chen's words, Yun Ruo Lu was immediately petrified. She hadn't used too much strength just now, was there a need to be so serious?

But after all, she was the one who instigated the incident, so she had no choice but to accept it.

After Yun Ruo and her men helped Yuchi Chen up, a ruckus broke out outside the tent.

"What's going on? "What's going on outside?"

Listening to the clamor outside, Yun Ruo's heart began to feel uneasy. In the midst of the ruckus, the sounds of war could be heard.

Yuchi Chen was very calm, as if he had expected this to happen. There was no trace of panic on his face.

At this time, a soldier rushed in and reported, "Reporting to your majesty, the enemy ambushed us during the night, we are surrounded!"

Hearing the soldier's words, Yun Ruo Lu nearly fainted from anger. The thing she was most worried about had happened.

During this time, the military camp was always at peace, no one emphasized military discipline, and the soldiers were all lazy. It would be strange if the enemy did not take advantage of this opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

Yun Ruo and her husband had thought that when Yuchi Chen heard of this news, he would immediately put on his armor and kill the enemy. Unexpectedly, he only said in a faint voice, "Continue to observe and report at any time!"

After that, Yuchi Chen turned around and smiled at Yun Ruo Lu. "Looks like I won't be able to sleep tonight. Why don't you play chess with me?"

"You're still in the mood to play chess at this time?!" "Ah Dou, you cannot afford it!"

Yun Ruo Lu was so angry that she could not help but curse. At this moment, the cries of war from outside had reached the sky and the light of the fire illuminated the pitch-black night.

Yuchi Chen ignored Yun Ruo's anger. Placing the chess board on the side, he asked curiously, "Who is Ah Dou?"

"A lame duck, a disappointing coward!"

Yun Ruo Lu did not explain who Ah Dou was, because she said that Yuchi Chen probably did not know who he was, so she simply described him.

Hearing Yun Ruo's explanation, Yuchi Chen's eyes darkened. He said dejectedly, "You think this prince is a coward?"

At this moment, Yun Ruo Lu was no longer afraid of Yuchi Chen's anger. She shouted, "Your soldiers are trying to kill the enemy, yet you are here enjoying your own life. If you're not a coward, then what are you?"

Yuchi Chen was about to lose his temper when that guard rushed in and reported, "Reporting to Your Royal Highness, the enemy troops have been duped. They've been completely surrounded by our men."

"Step down!"

Yuchi Chen's lips twitched. He walked in front of Yun Ruo Lu and pinched her chin, saying word by word, "Today, I shall let you see how a coward like me can so effortlessly win this battle!"

Finished speaking, Yuchi Chen flung Yun Ruo and her armour on the battlefield.

Yun Ruo Lu was stunned in place, it turned out that all of this was just a conspiracy. Yuchi Chen had been putting on an act, telling the enemy to let their guard down. In reality, he had already arranged everything in secret, waiting for the enemy to fall into the trap.

Such a deep shrewdness … perhaps the power of Yuchi Chen was even more terrifying than what she had imagined.

The slaughter did not end until daybreak. Smoke filled the entire battlefield, and when Yun Ruo Lu came out from her tent, what entered her eyes was a field of corpses.

Needless to say, the outcome was already in front of them. Yuchi Chen had won the battle and used an unbelievable method to obtain victory.

He had only used twenty thousand men to create a mythical miracle.

Jinsi stood by Yunruo's side, accompanying her as she watched this magnificent yet unbearable scene.

The barracks that had been singing and dancing last night and had been bustling with noise and excitement was now a complete mess after the battle.

"Empress, it's so scary. Let's go back."

This was the first time she saw such a bloody scene. Jinx shrunk behind Yun Ruo's back, and her body couldn't help but tremble.

The soldiers in the barracks were all busy, some taking care of the wounded, some carrying the corpses, and some cleaning up the battlefield.

Yun Ruo looked around the camp for a while, but could not find Yuchi Chen.

So he sent a soldier over to ask, "Where is the prince? Why can't I see the Prince? "

The soldier knew Yun Ruo Lu's identity and replied respectfully, "Reporting to the Empress, the enemy leader has fled. The Prince has personally led troops to pursue him."

"How long have you been gone?" Yun Ruo frowned as she asked.

"About two hours have passed, the Prince has only brought two thousand men."

Listening to the soldier's words, Yun Ruo Lu suddenly felt a bit worried. Two hours wasn't a long or short period of time, but she was afraid of being ambushed by the enemy troops.

How could Yuchi Chen be so reckless? He had only brought two thousand men after him. Perhaps it was because he was too arrogant!

Yun Ruo thought for a while, but still couldn't feel reassured. She said to Jin Se who was beside her, "Jin'er, I'm going to look for the prince. You stay in the army camp."

"Empress, where are you going to find the Prince?" The war has just subsided, and there might be danger in the surroundings. It's best for Empress to not go. "

Hearing that Yun Ruo Lu wanted to go alone, Jin Se stood in front of her and advised her worriedly.

"Trust me, nothing will happen. I'll be back soon!"

After Yun Ruo said this, she mounted a horse and rushed out of the army camp without caring about the safety of the cicadas.

"Empress, you have to be more careful!"

Jin Se chased after Yun Ruo Lu's horse for a while and knew that he couldn't stop her, so she could only shout loudly while she ran.

Yun Ruo Lu did not know where Yuchi Chen was, so she could only head towards the camp of the Southern Witch Kingdom.

The words she had spoken last night were too much. Perhaps she had provoked Yuchi Chen, which was why he had acted so recklessly.

Although Yuchi Chen often acted like a playboy, she still believed that he was a schemer and would not do anything for the rest of his life.

After chasing for a while, Yun Ruo Lu realized that the surroundings were very quiet. There weren't any footprints left behind by a large army on the road.

Could it be that she chased in the wrong direction?

Yun Ruo Lu stopped her horse and observed it. Suddenly, she saw a small path leading up to the mountain.

The small path was only one meter wide, but the grass surrounding the path showed signs of being trampled.

Yun Ruo Lu rode her horse along the small path and soon arrived in the middle of a forest.

A few corpses lay strewn about the desolate forest. Some were from the Southern Witch Kingdom, some were from the Yuchi Dynasty.

Seeing the corpse, Yun Ruo Lu knew that she did not find the wrong place, at least they were here not long ago.

Just as she was about to continue looking forward, she heard the sounds of cavalry and running rushing towards her.

When Yun Ruo Lu looked over, she saw that it was Yuchi Kingdom's banner. It seemed that Yuchi Chen had brought back some men.

Yuchi Chen led his troops and galloped back. Seeing that Yun Ruo Lu was alone in the forest, he sped up his pace and arrived beside her. He asked unhappily, "Why are you here?"

Yun Ruo Lu did not want to say that she came because she was worried that he was trapped, so she made up an excuse and said: "I came out to take a look, but I got lost here."

Yuchi Chen glanced behind Yun Ruo Ran. The path was not complicated. There was only one path, and it was impossible to get lost. Thus, he knew that Yun Ruo Ran was talking.

However, he did not expose her, but instead felt a bit happy. He thought that this woman finally understood that she was concerned for his safety.

"Let's return. We can return to the Imperial City tomorrow!"

Yuchi Chen brought Yun Ruo Lu and the soldiers to rush back to the military camp. When he asked Yun Ruo Lu, he learned that although Yuchi Chen had caught up with the leader, he did not kill him. Instead, he gave him a letter to show to the Emperor of Southern Witch Kingdom.

As for the contents of the letter, she did not know.

Yun Ruo Lu originally thought that this war would take at least a month to end, but she didn't expect that it would only take around ten days.

Yuchi Chen's performance had caused her to have a whole new level of respect for him. Even Yuchi Xuan wouldn't be able to move so quickly.

In addition, Yuchi Chen did not kill all of his enemies. Instead, he left a path for others to take. Such magnanimity had the demeanor of a man who would do great things.
