The next morning at dawn.
Duan Yunfei ordered the army to retreat and return to the camp.
"We've achieved a complete victory this time. When we return, His Majesty will definitely be very happy."
"And this is all thanks to Thirteenth Princess and her scheming and leadership. If it weren't for them taking the lead, how could we have taken over the Golden Horde Kingdom's camp so easily."
The entire army was naturally overjoyed at the victory. They were loudly talking behind them, but no one noticed the change in Duan Yunfei.
Mu Chuyang rode on his horse and walked forward, extending his hand out, gently tugging at her sleeve.
Duan Yunfei looked at Mu Chuyang as if he had just awoken from a great dream. After that, he couldn't help but laugh and shake his head at him.
"Little Thirteen, if you're sad, then cry for a while." Mu Chuyang frowned, and held her hand tightly: "Your current state, instead of letting me feel pain in my heart."
Seeing Mu Chuyang's wronged expression, Duan Yunfei couldn't help but chuckle. "I held on and waved my hand at him." "Now that my army has won, I have finally succeeded in my mission. After returning to the capital and gaining glory, what's there to be sad about it?"
"But Xiu Heng, he …" Mu Chuyang did not finish his words, he only turned to look at Duan Yunfei.
Duan Yunfei laughed faintly. Xiu Heng is the Prince of Xiliang, and I am the Princess of the Jin Country. Thinking about it this way, he could not be considered to have done anything wrong. "
Hearing Duan Yunfei's words, Mu Chuyang could no longer say anything, and the two sunk into a long silence.
"The big tent is right in front of us. Let's go a little faster." Seeing the Jin Country's camp, the soldiers could not help but laugh. After a day and night of fierce battle, the army all wanted to return to their camp to rest.
"Wait." Just as the army was about to enter, Duan Yunfei suddenly stretched out her hand, signalling the soldiers to stop.
"Thirteenth Princess, what's wrong?" Yue Yang asked curiously. Seeing that the camp was right in front of their eyes, Duan Yunfei suddenly ordered the soldiers to stop. The soldiers were naturally puzzled and walked up to Duan Yunfei to ask.
"That's not right." Duan Yunfei hesitated for a moment, as if she smelled a bloody stench in the air.
Mu Chuyang also walked up and noticed that something was wrong. Before he left the camp, in order to prevent other small tribes from raiding the camp, he had ordered the soldiers who were left to guard the camp to come up with a plan for an empty city. But when he returned, there were no soldiers cleaning the gates or patrolling the city walls.
Mu Chuyang hesitated for a moment. If the soldiers were not deliberately lazy, then something had happened.
However, this army that Duan Yunfei had brought out, was the bravest and bravest army in Jin Country. Their achievements for many years were glorious, and they relied on strict discipline from this army. Therefore, how could the soldiers be so lazy?
Thinking about that, Mu Chuyang could not help but clench his fists.
Just as they were hesitating outside the camp, a soldier suddenly ran out of the camp at the risk of his life. He had been shot several times, but he still fought with the last of his strength.
Mu Chuyang reacted quickly, and when he saw the situation, he quickly turned around to save the soldiers who were chasing him from the hands of the enemy.
"Thirteenth Princess, I never expected to see you again in my lifetime." The soldier was covered in blood. However, he still shakily stood up, forced himself to pay his respects to Duan Yunfei while speaking to her in an intermittent manner, "Princess, we've waited for an entire night, and you've finally returned."
"No need for formalities." Duan Yunfei leaped down from the horse, walked up to the soldier and anxiously asked: "Quickly tell me, what exactly happened? Why are you so heavily injured?"
"Princess, it's the people from the Golden Horde Kingdom. They sneaked an attack on our army camp." The soldier gasped for breath as he spoke, and looked like he was about to fall down. However, he still forced himself to answer Duan Yunfei's question. Last night, the Golden Horde Kingdom's army suddenly launched a sneak attack on our camp. We were not prepared and could only accept the attack in a panic, but they had so many people, we were not their match at all. Most of the army's supplies have been moved away by them, and most of the soldiers that were left to guard the camp were also killed by them.
"How could this be?" Hearing the injured soldier's report, Duan Yunfei frowned even more. The soldiers of the Golden Horde Kingdom were infected by the plague and had to leave their own camp grounds. Their morale has yet to recover, so how could they have the audacity to attack our camp so rashly? "
Duan Yunfei mumbled to herself as she thought, the reporting soldiers continued to speak to her: "Princess, those soldiers are strong and strong, it doesn't seem like they are infected by the plague."
"In that case, it really is strange." Mu Chuyang also walked forward and said to the injured soldier: "Think carefully, do you have any clues?"
The soldier hesitated for a moment, as if he suddenly remembered something, and quickly said to Duan Yunfei and Mu Chuyang: "Although these soldiers are dressed in the Golden Horde Kingdom's uniform, their accents aren't that of someone from the Golden Horde Kingdom. From the way they talk, it seems like they are more from Xiliang."
Hearing the words "Xiliang", the flames of fury in Duan Yunfei's heart started to burn.
The mantis stalks the cicada, and the yellow sparrow follows. Only then did she understand Xiu Heng's plan.
Xiu Heng deliberately instigated a war between the two countries, using the Jin Country's soldiers to weaken the Golden Horde Kingdom's power. Then he persuaded the Golden Horde Kingdom's khan to send troops to help the Golden Horde Kingdom defeat the Jin Country. On the surface, it seemed like he was avenging the Golden Horde Kingdom, but in reality, it was all for his own benefits.
The sandpiper and clam fight, and the fish will benefit from it. It was a pity that the Golden Horde Kingdom's Khan was currently very angry and only wanted to take revenge on the Jin Country, how could she have the mind to sit down and carefully calculate this debt?
Duan Yunfei laughed bitterly, her eyes becoming denser.
Xiu Heng, you ask if I regret saving you all those years ago.
I tell you now, I regret it. But why don't you let me go?
"Princess, what should we do?" Vice General Zhang walked over and asked Duan Yunfei.
Duan Yunfei thought for a while, then signaled the army to retreat. "The great army has just gone through a fierce battle, so it's not appropriate for them to fight right now. It's better to retreat and rest for a bit."
Duan Yunfei said as she ordered the army to retreat.
However, before she could finish her words, the soldiers behind her pointed at the tents in front of them and shouted, "Not good, not good! The enemy is charging over!"
Duan Yunfei looked ahead and saw a large group of black colored enemies rushing towards them.
She could see clearly that the one leading them was Xiliang's Crown Prince, Xiu Heng.
