The name was about to come out of his mouth.

Xie Chengyin also noticed the sound of horse hooves behind him at this time. When he saw the figure on the horse, an expression of great surprise suddenly broke out on his face.

"Aci!"

Yan Ci glanced at him coldly, without saying a word, his eyes were already looking at the three people in front of the city wall.

Xie Chengyin also looked towards the top of the city wall. There was a woman in white with a veil over there, and Yan Ci in a white robe beside her. Xie Chengyin's face was full of confusion.

He thought the one wearing the curtain was Yan Ci.

Xie Chengyin was a little embarrassed and didn't dare to look at Yan Ci's expression. He just quickly walked to Hua Cishu and supported him, and stood beside Yan Ci with the soldiers of the Longwu and Huwei armies.

Qu Liushang, who was on the city wall, looked at Yan Ci below with surprise in his eyes.

He had seen this woman before.

Together with the man standing beside her, they had appeared together in his Qushui Pavilion.

But he didn't understand how a person from Daxing could avoid the poisonous insects.

"Who are you?"

"I am the descendant of the Southern Witch royal family, the Southern Witch Saint."

"Impossible, how can you be the Southern Witch Saint? She is!"

Qu Liushang looked terrified and pulled the hand of the "saint" beside him somewhat roughly. He forcefully pulled the woman to his side to show Yan Ci that the real saint was by his side and she was a fake.

The woman seemed to be hurt by Qu Liushang, and Qu Liushang was no longer the gentle regent. His crazy look frightened her, and she couldn't stop backing away, trying to break free from Qu Liushang's grip.

As she was struggling, the veil on the woman's head fell off, revealing her delicate and adorable face, which was somewhat similar to Yan Ci.

Yan Ci suddenly laughed, "I didn't expect you to go to so much trouble to find a replacement that you even found someone who looks like me."

Qu Liushang was furious: "You are talking nonsense, it is obvious that you copied her appearance!"

Yan Ci smiled and shook his head. He was really terribly persistent.

Xie Chengyin and Hua Cishu supported each other as they watched the show. When they saw the fake saint's appearance, they couldn't help but sigh twice, "You know what, she really looks a bit like her."

Yan Ci's eyes suddenly swept over Xie Chengyin sharply, as if to say, "I will kill you if you speak again."

Xie Chengyin shut up awkwardly, patted Hua Cishu's shoulder as if trying to divert his attention, and asked, "What do you think?"

Hua Cishu looked cold and casually glanced at the woman, saying without any emotion: "Not like that."

Xie Chengyin felt a chill in his heart.

Being interrupted by Xie Chengyin, the smile on Yan Ci's face disappeared. She raised her spear and pointed it directly at Qu Liushang on the city wall.

"I will not argue with you. Today I only want to ask you one question: will you retreat? If not, my Daxing soldiers will destroy you and the Tanta Kingdom in an instant. I want to see if you can still command the Nanwu people and the poisonous insects."

Qu Liushang had actually seen the current situation clearly. They had already lost the battle since Yan Ci appeared.

The Tanta Kingdom was already small in number and weak in strength. If it weren't for the assistance of Nanwu's group of people who were good at witchcraft, they would never have been able to shake Daxing in the slightest.

But he didn't expect that the person who looked most like the Southern Witch Saint, whom he had tried so hard to find, was ultimately no match for the real Southern Witch Saint.

But why would the descendants of the Nanwu royal family help Daxing? Daxing was also involved in the destruction of Nanwu.

Qu Liushang suddenly burst into laughter, "The Saint of Southern Witch, right? You are from the royal family of Southern Witch, but instead of thinking about how to revive your country, you are willing to be someone else's pawn. How pathetic!"

Yan Ci said sternly: "Don't bother with that, retreat!"

"Okay, let's retreat!"

Seeing that the battle was over, Xie Chengyin let go of the hand that was supporting Hua Cishu and ran straight to Yan Ci, "Ah Ci, Ah Ci, I knew you would come back, I have been waiting for you."

Yan Ci avoided Xie Chengyin, walked towards Hua Cishu, and asked with concern: "Brother, are you okay?"

Hua Cishu was slightly stunned by Yan Ci's calling him brother, and looked at Yan Ci with a somewhat gentle look, but still lowered his head and said politely: "Thank you Miss Yan for your concern, I'm fine."

The cold and distant address made Yan Ci wake up in an instant. Even if she could tell her brother that she was Hua Cijing, she could not return to the Hua family and be with her father and brother.

She forced out an extremely ugly smile, "I'm glad you're okay."

Xie Chengyin knew that she was sad, and was just thinking about saying something to comfort her when he heard Hua Cishu say, "Miss Yan, can I take you in as my adopted sister?"

After hearing this, Xie Chengyin was stunned, and Yan Ci was also stunned. After being stunned for a while, their faces were full of joy. "Of course, sworn brother, please accept my sister's greetings."

Hua Cishu smiled gently, "The title of sworn brother is too distant, you should just call me brother."

Yan Ci almost cried with joy, and shouted openly: "Brother!"

The matter of the Tanta Kingdom has been resolved, and Hua Cishu is about to set off back to Dongdu to report the situation to Emperor Tianqi. He also wants to tell his father that he has a new sister.

My father will be happy too.

Yan Ci would naturally follow Hua Ci Shu back to Dongdu.

Only Xie Chengyin, seeing the brother and sister getting along harmoniously, couldn't help feeling jealous.

It was clearly him who waited and searched hard for Yan Ci to come back, but when he came back, not only did he not even look at him well, he also ignored him.

Taking advantage of the dark, windy and quiet night, Xie Chengyin visited the girl's bedroom.

Now we are in the bitterly cold borderland, and everyone lives in heavy military tents. Apart from doors for entering and exiting, there are no windows at all.

Xie Chengyin's idea of ​​sneaking in through the window was obviously impossible, so he could only slip in through the tent door while the soldiers who were changing shifts were not paying attention.

But as soon as he entered the door, the cold feeling on his neck made him stop all movements immediately.

A cool voice came into my ears, "What are you doing here?"

Hearing the voice, Xie Chengyin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "I just have a lot of questions. If they are not answered, I will toss and turn and can't sleep at night."

"Say!"

Xie Chengyin raised his hand and pushed the sword on his neck, "Can you put it down so we can sit down and talk?"

Yan Ci's eyes softened for a moment, but he finally put down his sword and turned to walk inside.

The two men did not turn on the lights. In the dark military tent, they only relied on their hearing to identify each other's position.

One sat on a chair, and the other sat cross-legged on the floor covered with a thick blanket.

"Why are you ignoring me?"

Yan Ci thought Xie Chengyin would ask her how she came back, but she didn't expect him to ask this question.

"You even admitted the wrong person, why should I care about you?"

Thinking of how he had shouted "A Ci" to the woman in white on the city wall, Xie Chengyin felt guilty. At that time, he really thought that was Yan Ci, but he didn't expect it to be a fake.

"Who told the regent of Tanta to recognize the saint and confuse me? And she can also control poisonous insects. Who would have thought that others have this ability?"

"That's not her ability, it's just bluffing. She just borrowed the name of the Saint to control the Southern Witch who can control the Gu worms."
