Chu Qianli didn't know why she had such a strong sixth sense.
The bandits of Phoenix Mountain were known for their brutality.
If an enemy general fell into their hands, it would be an immediate execution.
They would even hang the bodies of these generals in the most conspicuous places, just to provoke the imperial court.
Since that was the case, Qin Xiao would surely be killed quickly if he fell into their hands.
Why was he missing, with no news at all?
"A trap?" Feng Yexuan turned back, looking at the still disheveled young girl.
Although she looked a bit disheveled at the moment, her clear, bright eyes were filled with wisdom and composure.
She was like a soldier who remained calm in the face of adversity!
Feng Yexuan was slightly stunned. How could he see the demeanor of a soldier in this girl?
"Previously, several generals died on Phoenix Mountain and their bodies were displayed by the bandits to mock the imperial court. But why is it that for Qin Xiao, it's just a disappearance?"
Chu Qianli's words made Feng Yexuan's brows furrow.
But he didn't speak.
"Your Highness, there is a heated discussion in the court recently. The Emperor seems to intend to establish a Crown Prince, and you, holding significant military power, are currently the Emperor's most favored prince."
"You mean, someone has colluded with the bandits of Phoenix Mountain, and this time, they are using Qin Xiao to lure me into a trap, intending to eliminate me?"
Feng Yexuan's mind was sharp. With her suggestion, he immediately understood the logic.
He was just surprised that Chu Qianli, a lady who had been raised in seclusion for many years, could think so meticulously.
"It's not impossible."
Chu Qianli also got off the bed and walked up to him, looking up. The height difference made him look nearly 1.9 meters, while she was estimated to be only 1.6 meters or so.
She really had to look up to him.
It was quite helpless.
However, these were minor issues. Now, it was a matter of life and death.
"Your Highness, caution is the key to a long journey. We must be on guard."
Feng Yexuan was the God of War of their Beiming Kingdom. If anything happened to him, the entire Beiming Kingdom would fall into chaos.
In that case, the common people would surely suffer!
"Are you worried about me?" A strange glint flashed in Feng Yexuan's eyes.
When they weren't arguing, this girl was actually quite likable.
Chu Qianli rolled her eyes at him. "Now is the time to discuss matters of life and death."
"What's the difference?" However, he didn't have much time to spend in romantic conversation with her.
Feng Yexuan said lightly, "Something happened to Qin Xiao, and those people know it. Even if I know it's a trap, I will definitely go to rescue him."
How could he stand by and do nothing when Qin Xiao was in trouble?
Therefore, when they captured Qin Xiao, Feng Yexuan had already stepped half a foot into their trap!
"I know you have to go!"
If he didn't go, he wouldn't be the God of War of their Beiming Kingdom!
"I only have one request."
"What request?" The military situation could not be delayed. Outside, Qingming had already ordered everyone to prepare, and he had to depart.
Chu Qianli took a deep breath and then said, "Take me with you. I can help!"
"No!"
Feng Yexuan flatly refused. "Your injuries have not healed, and it is not suitable for you to go out."
Despite the refusal, her request made his heart feel suddenly warm.
Finally, he glanced at her. This glance was no longer as cold as before, but carried a hint of warmth.
"Don't worry, I will be fine! When I return, I can prove to you that in this life, I only want you! There will never be any so-called three palaces and six courtyards!"
