He could not bother with the old lady. After all, as long as he did not discover them, the old lady would not be implicated. Qi Yu patted Jun Zibi, "Still not leaving!"

Jun Zibi turned his head and looked at her sullenly, then activated his lightness skills and quietly went in the direction of the General's Estate.

Indeed, it was impossible for Helian Cheng to expect that Jun Zibi would go and come back.

Who would be so foolish as to run out of the wolf's den and back into the wolf's nest?

At this time, Helian Cheng had already gone to the Duke Jie Palace to see Helian Jing. As a Fourth Prince of the Eastern Barbarian, Helian Jing was also conferred the title of Duke Jie, and managed a large area of land under the control of the Cang Jie Province.

However, Eastern Barbarian's land was barren, and although the land was vast, there was a large sandstorm. There were no crops or trees, so what use did it have?

Inside Duke Jie Palace, Helian Jing was silently drinking tea, his expression dark, and his expression aloof.

Ever since the year when he fell in love with Princess Zhuo Hua and was betrothed to the Western Xia's Mu Yuncang, his face rarely revealed a smile.

Helian Cheng was led into the great hall of the Duke Palace, and bowed to Helian Jing. "Brother Wang!"

Helian Jing slightly nodded, and slowly raised his head. He glanced at his younger cousin, "What urgent matter?"

If there were no urgent matters, Helian Cheng would not have gone to his mansion in the middle of the night.

Yes, this Brother Wang really slept late! Amongst the seven princes of Eastern Barbarian, the one whom Helian Cheng respected the most was this Fourth Prince Helian Jing.

Under the cover of such an aloof appearance, it was actually a dark and mysterious ambition that was enough to topple the world.

The Crown Prince of Eastern Barbarian, Helian Cheng, was a savage and tyrannical man, but he was still not a match for Helian Jing in terms of ruthlessness and toughness.

If not for the fact that the crown prince and the Fourth Prince were both part of the same lineage as the empress, the battle for power within the empire might have been even more tragic than the Dongluo.

"I'm afraid that the Dongluo has already detected our intentions with the news of Kang City's arrival." As he said that, Helian Cheng handed over the secret report that he had received to Helian Jing.

Helian Jing stretched out his slender fingers and received the secret report. He glanced at it, but his expression did not change: "What does this mean?"

Helian Cheng was surprised, "Doesn't this mean that the Dongluo will begin to guard against us? If we didn't take action earlier, we might have been struck by the Dongluo and gotten the upper hand. "

"Of course they know what we're going to do." Helian Jing said indifferently, "Otherwise, I would not have sent Chu Yizhao to guard Kang City."

Helian Cheng asked in surprise, "What? Brother Wang already investigated the pros and cons?"

Helian Jing was silent for a moment, then said: "The day after tomorrow, let's go! This battle should be fought sooner rather than later, it's best if we finish it quickly. "

Helian Cheng had long been eager to give it a try. With Helian Jing's permission, he immediately guaranteed, "The army's transport force march Kang City is only a day and a night's journey away. We can completely catch them off guard!"

"But we're not ready yet."

"The rations are insufficient for an expedition, but there's no problem with the Kang City."

Helian Jing fell into silence again.

He was the one who proposed to fight this battle, so he had to win. Otherwise, not only would he lose all his face, he would lose all his face as well! Then, how would he be able to establish a foothold on the continent with his Eastern Barbarian in the future?

Helian Cheng was clear of Helian Jing's worries, but he was eager to make a name for himself with this battle. He assured Helian Jing, "As long as we take down the Kang City, my Eastern Barbarian's territory would be expanded by another hundred li. When we continue to attack the Dongluo, it will depend on the state of the food preparation!"

Helian Jing slowly raised his head, his eyes revealing a trace of cold light. "Alright! "Then let's decide it that way!"

"Good!" Then I'll go and prepare it! " Helian Cheng stood up, but turned around. He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Brother Wang, do you trust that old Xu Chang?"

"Why?" Helian Jing frowned as he looked at Helian Cheng.

Helian Cheng said: "He can even kill his own daughter and son-in-law, and I am afraid that this kind of person who doesn't even know his six relatives will betray my Eastern Barbarian, and become a scourge for us."

Helian Jing laughed, "No matter how cunning a fox is, he has his weakness, how can he escape from his grasp?"

However, Helian Cheng shook his head. "No, but I don't feel that he has any weakness. A person who can kill his own daughter, does he even have any weakness? "

"You're wrong." Helian Jing waved his hand, "He has a weakness. That's Cheng Wan. "

Helian Cheng was startled: "Cheng Wan?"

Helian Jing said: "You do not have to worry about this problem, with me here, I will control the situation."

Helian Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and replied with a smile, "Yes."

Helian Jing continued: "I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight. Let's drink two cups together! "

Helian Cheng immediately sat back down. "Great! I will accompany you, my royal brother! "

The night of the General's Estate was tranquil.

Although there were soldiers and soldiers guarding the area, the security was not that tight.

In order to find Bi Su, Feng Qingmo had come here several times, and was considered familiar with the road, so the moment he entered, he immediately headed to the General's Estate's rear sleep.

Qi Yu nervously whispered to him, "What are you going to sleep for? Do you want to capture two women as hostages? "

"You don't understand!" Jun Zibi said, "Often, places where people eat and sleep are the easiest to relax, maybe we can hear some secret here, it's convenient for us to hide, it's equivalent to us finding some invisible secrets."

"I didn't expect you to be so cunning!"

"Are you praising me or cursing me?"

"Of course I'm scolding you."

Jun Zibi suddenly stopped in his tracks, gesturing to Qi Yu not to make a sound. Qi Yu was stunned, following his gaze, — Damn, so Jun Zibi was also that kind of person, to be unable to walk when he saw a beautiful lady?

Although it was night and the distance between them was not close, Qi Yu saw a woman that she could not walk on.

Although she could not see her face nor her facial features, just by looking at her slim figure, one could tell that she was undoubtedly a beauty.

Qi Yu pinched Jun Zibi unhappily and asked softly: "Is this the time to look at women?"

"No no," Jun Zibi's eyes were wide open as he looked at the white clothed female walking towards him with the lantern in her hand, and asked with her tongue tied up, "That's not right, why is she here?"

"You know her? "Who is she?" Qi Yu was stunned.

In the courtyard behind the General's Estate of the Eastern Barbarian, there was also a woman that Jun Zibi recognized? This was truly strange!

Jun Zibi stared at the lady in white for a while, then retracted his gaze and covered up: "Nothing."

"Nothing!" What was so special about his expression!?

If he was just a stranger, would he look at her like that? Why was his expression so complicated and his gaze so conflicted?

Qi Yu looked at Bi Su who had caught up to her and stopped, then pointed at the white clothed female who was walking quickly with her head down, and asked softly, "Do you recognize the young lady?"

Bi Su blankly shook her head. She had only been captured for a few nights at General's Estate and wasn't here as a guest.

Of course, that white-clothed woman was clearly a family member within the General's Estate. Otherwise, why would she walk in the rear courtyard of the General's Estate in the middle of the night?

Jun Zibi looked at Qi Yu, "Come, let's continue."

Qi Yu did not lie on his back. Instead, she asked him with suspicion, "Your expression is weird, what's the meaning of this?"

Jun Zibi had always been a carefree and uninhibited person, but at this time, he was unwilling to say anything. Don't let anyone find out! "

Qi Yu could only lie on Jun Zibi's back. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard someone call out "Young Madam" as they hurriedly chased after the white-clothed woman.

Young madam?

~ Is this woman in white the Young Madam of General's Estate? Did that mean that she was Helian Cheng's wife?

In General Helian's home, there was only one son, and that was Helian Cheng. Thus, this woman in white's identity was immediately identified. She was without a doubt Helian Cheng's wife.

Jun Zibi was startled, how could he...

Qi Yu lowered her head to look at Jun Zibi's face, and whispered: "You recognize her? What does it have to do with her? "

"How do you know I have anything to do with her?" Jun Zibi was surprised.

Qi Yu laughed!

"Is it obvious? Your eyes cannot escape mine. " "You must have a story!"

"Ugh …" Did you see that? Was it that obvious?

The maid of the General's Estate hurriedly chased after the woman and asked where the woman in white had gone to. The woman in white spoke in a low voice, "Don't say that you can't go out, even the young general hasn't returned since it's midnight. I want to know where he has gone to."

"Ah, this …" It's most likely that the young general went on some important errand, and it's definitely not related to Miss Lin. Young Madam, let's go back? "

The lady in white, however, firmly said, "I must go and have a look. Don't follow me, otherwise tomorrow everyone will hear about you and Guard Yang. That won't be good!"

The maid was struck in the vitals and fell silent.

Although she was unwilling, the maid silently turned around and returned to her room. The woman in white carried the lantern and walked towards the bridge.

The wind rustled in his ears, as if something was wrong.

The white-clothed woman abruptly stopped and turned around.

Jun Zibi and Bi Su who were following far behind stopped in their tracks, caught off guard.

Although the night was dark, the woman in white could clearly sense that they were not one of her people. She raised her lantern and took two cautious steps back. With a trembling voice, she asked, "Who is it?"

Jun Zibi put down Qi Yu, took a step forward, and softly said: "Dan Shu, it's me."

Dan Shu? This girl's name is Dan Shu? Qi Yu looked at Bi Su beside him. Hmm, one was red and the other was green, these two could be considered sisters.

The woman who was called Dan Shu, upon hearing Jun Zibi's voice, couldn't help but shiver a little, "You are … Elder Brother Yu? "

Elder Brother Yu …

Qi Yu's skin all went numb. Uh, what an ambiguous name! This is a person with a story...

Jun Zibi, however, seemed to be extremely used to this form of address. He smiled and took a step forward: "Yes, it's me."

"Why are you here, Elder Brother Yu?"

"Why are you at the Eastern Barbarian, Dan Shu?"

The two of them spoke almost at the same time. It was a deep sense of tacit understanding between them.

Jun Zibi spoke in a 'this is a long story' tone, the lady called Dan Shu looked at Qi Yu who was behind Jun Zibi, and his joyous expression immediately changed to one of vigilance: "These two are?"

Jun Zibi turned to look at Qi Yu and Bi Su, "Uh, these two people … My two sisters. "

Dan Shu's tone was obviously a little resentful, "Coo gege is still the same as before;

Jun Zibi was a little embarrassed: "It's not what you think."

Using the light from the lantern, Dan Shu looked at the blurry Qi Yu and Bi Su, and said to Jun Zibi: "This is not the place for us to talk. Follow me!"
