Reborn Female Assassin Falls in Love with Tsundere Little Prince

Although Ma Sheng was timid, he had a good memory. Relying on the ciphertext template he had memorized in his mind, he slowly spoke out the hidden content of the secret letter, and the gentleman beside him wrote it down on paper.

"My Lord, that's all. That's all."

"Go ahead."

Yan Kaiyu picked up the paper with the notes and looked at the contents on it. The more he read, the tighter his brows furrowed.

Shangguan Zimeng rarely saw him like this, and felt a little uneasy, so she leaned her head over to see what was written on it. He handed it to her directly and sat on the chair in silence.

The content on the paper was roughly as follows: Zehuang Emperor Bai Leyang will transfer Bai Wenxian from the northern border to the southern border in the near future. He will be in charge of all matters in the southern border. He orders Qin Xinzhe to cooperate well, and also orders the spies who have infiltrated Ziling's northern border fortress to hide their identities well, obey Bai Wenxian's orders, and not move without authorization.

"My beloved, please go back to your room and rest. I have something to discuss with General Ye."

Shangguan Zimeng looked at him with some concern. She felt that he was very worried. This situation was rare for him. Was there something in the letter that scared him?

It was not convenient for her to ask now, so she listened to him and went back to the backyard. Wu Du and Zhou Yan, as her personal bodyguards, followed her all the time.

She sat on a stone bench and drank tea, and asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Wu Du, I have a question for you. Do Bai Leyang and Bai Wenxian have any intersection with my husband? Or are they very powerful? I always feel that my husband is a little worried."

Wudu had followed his master for many years, so he knew why he was worried, so he explained, "Princess, you don't know, but the prince and Bai Wenxian did have some connections. Three years ago, in the battle of Zigui, the prince suffered a crushing defeat before winning a great victory."

"Ah!? Miserable defeat!? Are you sure?"

She was very surprised. In her impression, the people in the capital said that he was invincible and victorious in every battle. He was a well-deserved god of war and an idol in the hearts of many people.

"It was a miserable defeat indeed."

Wu Du doesn't want to admit it, but that is the fact.

Zhou Yan had also heard about this. After all, he originally thought that it was Yan Kaiyu who kidnapped Shangguan Zimeng. Thinking of going to rescue her, he had to understand his opponent's past first, and thus he found out about his miserable defeat.

"Miss, this is true. It was Bai Wenxian who defeated the prince at that time. This was also the only defeat the prince had suffered on the battlefield since he took command."

Shangguan Zimeng asked in surprise: "Zhou Yan, you haven't been in the palace for long, how do you know about this?"

She felt a little guilty, but she didn't know as much as Zhou Yan.

He explained to her the reason.

"What is there for the husband to worry about? Didn't he win a great victory later?"

Wudu had personally experienced this defeat and was familiar with the details, so he told her about it.

"Princess, that's not the case. The one the prince defeated was not Bai Wenxian, but Bai Luocheng."

"Ah? What's going on?"

"At that time, Bai Wenxian took advantage of the prince's youth and adopted a defensive strategy. No matter how much he was yelled at, he refused to come out to fight. The prince had no choice but to attack in a roundabout way. As a result, Bai Wenxian had expected the prince to do this and sent a large group of troops to ambush early on. In that battle, he had the advantage of time, place, and people. The prince lost nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses, and He Pingnan's Black Tiger Cavalry lost more than half."

"After this battle, both sides stopped fighting for more than a month. The prince was worried that Bai Wenxian would make him suffer again, so he took advantage of the discord between Bai Luocheng and Bai Wenxian and used a sowing of dissension. Emperor Bai Leyang of Zehuang believed it and summoned Bai Wenxian back to Linyun City and ordered Bai Luocheng to be the commander. This man was far inferior to Bai Wenxian in commanding troops, and the prince won a great victory."

"Later, the two sides signed a ceasefire document. We secretly sent spies to Linyun City, but they were caught by Bai Wenxian. The prince was unwilling to give up, so he used a trick. Bai Leyang was fooled again and expelled Bai Wenxian to the northern border of Zehuang to resist the wild tribe. He stayed there for three years."

Shangguan Zimeng suddenly realized that her husband had failed twice in her hands. No wonder she was worried. Who wouldn't be upset?

It gets cooler at night.

Yan Kaiyu sat in a wheelchair, reading the files about Bai Wenxian in the candlelight. He had studied this opponent for a long time, but still could not fully understand him. He was like his inner demon, which could not be shaken off for a long time.

Shangguan Zimeng fetched a bucket of hot water, took off his shoes and socks herself, and washed his feet.

He looked at her unprecedented behavior in surprise and murmured, "I remember the sun rose from the east today?"

Normally, after saying this, she would let him wash himself. However, today was a little special, and she felt that she needed to comfort him.

"Why? As your future wife, can't I wash your feet once?"

"Yes, of course. I couldn't ask for more."

He placed the file in his hand on the table and spread his hands, enjoying this moment very much. After all, this kind of situation was rare, and the less time you get to enjoy it, the less chance you have.

Shangguan Zimeng took the initiative to ask: "Husband, are you worried about something? You can tell me, don't keep it in your heart, I can help you solve your problems."

He looked at her with a smile in his eyes. Even though this girl seemed unreliable at ordinary times, it was an indisputable fact that she was very smart when faced with serious problems.
