Ling Zhouyang deliberately put her foot back and said, "Well, if you say no, then there won't be any."

Qian Zhao had no choice but to admit, "Yes, I'm shy. I'm applying the medicine, so don't move."

After hearing what Qian Zhao said, Ling Zhouyang snorted lightly and stopped moving.



Because of her sprained foot, Ling Zhouyang had to live a life where she could only eat to open her mouth.

I spent the whole day in the room either reading medical books or studying poisons.

When Yuanlu is free, he will come and talk to her about what happened that day.

For example, Ning Yuanzhou had a cold war with Ren Ruyi because he was jealous of Li Tongguang.

Another example is that after he and Li Tongguang broke up on bad terms last time, he came again and stayed alone in a room with Ren Ruyi for a while.

Furthermore, Yang Ying took the initiative to pay homage to Li Tongguang, but Li Tongguang did not show up at all. They also gave Anguo a disincentive.

It was night, after Qian Zhao took a shower and freshened up, he ran directly to Ling Zhouyang's room.

As soon as Qian Zhao stepped into the door, he said, "I went out with His Highness today. It was too windy and dusty."

Ling Zhouyang understood what this meant. She just wanted to say that if she came back with some unclean things, she would have to take longer to wash herself.

Ling Zhouyang rested her head on her left hand and lay on her side on the bed.

"Yuanlu came and told me a long time ago that you went to the county government and gave Marquis Changqing a slap in the face."

Qian Zhao nodded, "Well, how do your feet feel today?"

Hearing this, Ling Zhouyang sat up, stretched out his left foot and twisted his ankle several times.

"It's just a sprain, and it's healed now. By the way, do you want to tell me something when you come to me so late?"

Seeing this, Qian Zhao felt relieved. Ayang knew medical skills herself, so she couldn't make fun of her feet.

Qian Zhao sat down at the tea table and said, "Tomorrow, Marquis Changqing will entertain His Highness a banquet at the military camp. Let me ask you if you want to go."

Ling Zhouyang muttered in a low voice: "Isn't it appropriate to invite me to the military camp banquet? I'm not from the Wu Kingdom..."

Qian Zhao: "You are the envoy appointed by the queen, how could you not be suitable?"

Ling Zhouyang thought for a moment and then agreed, "Since you said so, let's go."

"Okay, then you get some rest early, I'm going back." Qian Zhaozhen just came here to send a message and ask what Ling Zhouyang meant.

Lingzhouyang waved, "I know, help me close the door."

The next day, everyone in the delegation set off for the banquet.

Ling Zhouyang changed into a light blue dress with wide sleeves, a thin bamboo tube hanging around her waist, and a brown leather bag.

Not only was she dressed simply today, but her hair was tied up high, without any accessories, and she also wore a curtain hat like Ren Ruyi.

Qian Zhao rode beside her, "Why did you tie your high ponytail today?"

Ling Zhouyang answered honestly: "I'm afraid that if you guys start a fight, I will hold you back."

Marquis Changqing must be unkind in hosting them this time, not to mention they are still in a military camp, so she must be fully prepared.

The life of fighting and killing was really not suitable for her. It would be better for her to run as far as she could.

Qian Zhao lowered his head and smiled, "If something really happens, remember to run faster."

"I know, I cherish my life the most." She didn't even need Qian Zhao's advice. If there was danger, she would just run away. Even if Qian Zhao called her, she would not stop.

Yu Shisan, who was behind him, whispered to Yuan Lu: "Look at your brother Qian, your face has become sullen after we fell in love. Our friendship for so many years is still not as good as the smile of Lingzhou beauty."

Yuan Lu said seriously: "Brother Thirteen, Brother Qian finally got Sister Lingzhou, so he must smile more. You are alone in the family, so why don't you keep laughing every day?"

Yu Shisan looked at Yuan Lu and immediately pretended to be heartbroken, "Yuan Lu, don't call me brother anymore, I can't bear it anymore~"

Yuan Lu deservedly said, "Okay, Yu Thirteen."

Finally, when we arrived at the military camp, we had to negotiate with Li Tongguangxu before we could sit down at the table.

According to Ling Zhouyang's "official position", Ling Zhouyang sat at the table in front of Qian Zhao.

Li Tongguang and Yang Ying argued with each other.

Li Tongguang was silenced for a moment by Yang Ying, and then sneered: "Your Highness doesn't know people from Beipan, but he should know these people."

Wu Qian, the general of He County, heard this and shouted: "Bring the people up."

I saw a few soldiers driving a few ragged people to the banquet.

Ning Yuanzhou, Qian Zhao, Yu Shisan, Yuan Lu, and Sun Lang changed their expressions on the spot.

Du Changshi: "General Yuan?"

Ning Yuanzhou: "Tao Jian!"

Tao Jian looked at Ning Yuanzhou with a guilty look on his face, "Master Ning, Tao Jian is incompetent and has embarrassed the people of Six Paths Hall."

"I'm sorry for you. I failed to protect Brother Chai Ming. I could only watch them being..."

Upon hearing this, Qian Zhao hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Tao Jian, asking, "Where are Chai Ming and the others buried?"

Tao Jian: "In the river beside Guideyuan."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in Liudaotang felt suppressed anger.

Qian Zhao took a step forward and wanted to take action, but Ning Yuanzhou called him back.

I thought that the matter would be revealed, but Li Tongguang deliberately humiliated him and had the prisoners of Liudaotang whipped and served wine to the visiting envoys.

Yang Ying felt a little impatient, "Marquis Changqing, since you have always advocated peace talks, why are you doing this?"

Li Tongguang sneered and replied: "Isn't His Highness very majestic yesterday? Why are you so surprised now? I just asked them to toast, and I didn't do anything."

Ling Zhouyang was used to seeing scenes like this, and most prisoners were treated like this.

She didn't want to care at first, but looking at Qian Zhao's scarlet eyes, the hand hanging by her side clenched her fist and trembled slightly.

Ling Zhouyang raised his right hand and shot several short crossbow arrows from his cuffs, piercing the Anguo soldiers. The arrows were not poisonous and would not be fatal.

The two Anguo soldiers who were beating people fell down. The other soldiers who raised their whips did not dare to lower their whips.

Upon seeing this, the other soldiers of Anguo drew their swords one after another. Ning Yuanzhou and the others did not expect Ling Zhouyang to take action, and were stunned for a moment.

Ling Zhouyang said crisply: "What are you doing standing still? Take action. Do you still want to watch your brothers being bullied?"

Ning Yuanzhou and Qian Zhao reacted first, cut off the flagpole on the side, and then took out the flag and draped it on several captured people.

Ning Yuanzhou looked at Wu Qian and asked: "General Wu, your country also has soldiers imprisoned in Dawu. Do you hope that your compatriots will suffer the same humiliation as them?"

Wu Qian hesitantly put down the sword in his hand.

Ning Yuanzhou turned around and said: "Everyone who fights for Dawu is our hero. How could I, with all my virtue and ability, dare to let the hero personally buy wine for us?"

Qian Zhao and others picked up the wine and bowls on the ground and poured the wine for the captives themselves.

Ning Yuanzhou said a word of respect to all the heroes, and everyone in the Wu Kingdom raised their glasses and bowls.

With a shout, everyone drank the wine in their cups and bowls and threw the bowls.

Li Tongguang thought that he was not serving properly and wanted to drag some of the prisoners down to be whipped.

But was blocked by Ren Ruyi.

The reason why Ling Zhouyang dared to take action just now was because she knew that if Li Tongguang continued to humiliate the prisoners, Ren Ruyi would never allow it.
