The man kept silent for a moment. He looked at Qian Yin with caution and said, "according to the art of war, a hundred battles are invincible, the people are not good. What kind of good warrior should one be? "
"A soldier who would not submit to others without a fight." Qian Yin replied without hesitation.
Although it was already September, the man was sweating. After a long time, he asked, "why only the armies of the State of Xia dare to stationed outside the city? Why don't they dare to attack the KY City?"
The question relieved everyone. The princess and the servant girl had just arrived at the KY City. They didn't know anything in the city, so they didn't know the reason.
Qian Yin laughed ironically, "This gentleman's question is so strange? Dare not to? The State of Xia isn't dare not do that. It was just because the name of their military counsellor was Liu Yinfeng. The best thing about Liu Yinfeng was to know oneself and enemy. As a result, he could have known all the generals present pretty well. The reason why he didn't let the army attack us was that he knew the general who was responsible for defending our city was Qi Lang. General Qi could fight without saying anything. But he has a weakness, that is, he is proud and conceited. Liu Yinfeng does not attack because he knows General Qi's weakness well. It is his strategy."
Just as Qian Yin finished speaking, there was silence. Yun Shang saw the veins standing out on Qi Lang's forehead. Yun Shang smiled and thought, 'Good girl. I was afraid she doesn't know how to put it.
Then Qi Lang broke the silence. "This lady mentioned Liu Yinfeng, saying that he is quite good at knowing oneself and his enemy. But I want to know his weakness. So where is Liu Yinfeng's weakness?"
Yun Shang smiled. "Liu Yinfeng likes men. And the man he loves is the seventh Prince of the State of Xia, Xia Houjing. Can that be his weakness?"
As soon as Yun Shang finished speaking, all eyes were on her, but Yun Shang did not intend to go on talking at all, but Qian Yin continued, "About a month ago, your highness had sent someone to investigate Liu Yinfeng, knowing that he has no other interests and makes no other move. But she has asked us to pay attention to the arrangements in Liu Yinfeng's mansion. Our men found a lot of paintings in his study. And those in the paintings are all Xia Houjing, the seventh Prince of the State of Xia."
Someone banged the table and stood up. "No wonder when we brought a fairy woman there, Liu Yinfeng also stayed calm. It turns out he doesn't like women at all. He actually likes men. It's so disgusting."
Yun Shang sneered, "We have competed, both in martial arts and art of war. Shouldn't you keep your promise? It is said that if you lose the game, you should stand up and make a bow respectfully to me and my maid Qian Yin to apologize."
Everyone looked at each other, and some slowly stood up. Someone stood up. Even the others didn't want to, they didn't want to be humiliated. They stood unhappily and it was not until a while later that they bowed in unison. "I'm sorry."
Yun Shang smiled. "I just want to teach you a lesson today. You men can do something, but women can also do it. And you can't achieve something women can. I hope you remember this lesson later and don't look down upon women again."
Yun Shang stood up after finishing speaking. "I'm tired today, so I'll leave. Have a good time."
Qian Yin hurried forward and helped Yun Shang walk slowly towards the backyard.
At the corner of the long corridor by the lake in the backyard, they saw a man in white standing there and looking at the lake, as if in a daze. Yun Shang frowned. If her memory served her right, she was the only one who lived on the lake, because she had specifically told the servants that she didn't like to be disturbed.
The man seemed to have noticed Yun Shang's arrival. He turned around and looked at her in a daze. Then he said hastily, "Your Highness. I'm Qi Yufeng. I'm here to visit you."
Yun Shang looked at the man who was half kneeling in front of her. She was not unfamiliar with his name. She had seen the information his subordinates had handed to her. He was Qi Lang's eldest son. It was said that Qi Lang's eldest son was Qi Lang's favorite son. His kung fu was the best among the three sons, and his strategy was not bad.
Yun Shang scrutinized him while thinking, "No need to be courteous. Why isn't Mr. Qi in the front yard today?"
Qi Yufeng stood up and nodded. "It's too late for me to inspect the city gate today. I should have gone, but since the banquet is about to end, I shouldn't go there now. While I was hesitating, your highness came back."
A deep look flashed in Yun Shang's eyes, and her smile grew brighter. Even so, he was stunned, with a flicker of light in his eyes. There were only a few lanterns in the corridor, but the moonlight was shining brightly. However, it was said that looking at a beauty under the moon would make her more beautiful. A beauty who was famous in the whole country like Yun Shang, with jade like skin under the dim light, couldn't make him move his eyes.
"Thanks for your service, Mr. Qi." Yun Shang said peacefully, pretending not to see the gleam in his eyes.
