Wei Yifeng was still somewhat worried: "Now that Qi Zhiyu has destroyed the Siyun tribe, will His Majesty still reward me for my military achievements?"

He hates Qi Zhiyu to death!

If it weren't for Qi Zhiyu, how could his proud military achievements have become a joke?

"You can rest assured about that," the King of Wu said confidently. "My father has always been fair in his rewards and punishments."

"Those who deserve rewards will still be rewarded."

However... Wei Yifeng's limelight was completely overshadowed by Qi Zhiyu!

He simply couldn't understand how Qi Zhiyu had managed to flatten the Siyun tribe in such a short time.

Furthermore, they dragged out everyone in the tribe one by one, verified their identities, and made them put their fingerprints on the paper.

He didn't see the list with his own eyes, but someone told him about it.

The names were written in tiny, dense characters, and each name had a handprint on it.

Even though it was filled with writing on both sides, the booklet was still quite thick.

Even if Qi Zhiyu rushed there at top speed, how much time would she have left to kill him?

three days?

It definitely won't be more than four days!

This was even while traveling non-stop day and night.

If you add the time it would take for the people of the Siyun tribe to leave their handprints, King Wu did the math and it made him terrified.

How did Qi Zhiyu manage to go from capturing the people of the Siyun tribe alive to killing them?

Not to mention that the King of Wu couldn't understand it, even Qi Jingxi couldn't figure it out after calculating for a long time.

"Brother, have you figured it out?" Qi Jingxi couldn't figure it out herself, so she asked someone for help.

Qi Jingchen shook his head slowly with a solemn expression: "Unless Yu'er has extraordinary abilities."

Qi Jingxi's eyes lit up instantly: "Strike them with lightning!"

"Brother, why are you looking at me like that? It's like I'm an idiot."

Qi Jingchen's disdain was blatantly obvious: "You think you can summon lightning so easily?"

"My sister did it those two times, didn't she?" Qi Jingxi muttered unconvinced.

His sister has done it before.

Qi Jingchen took a deep breath. "Brother, my own flesh and blood."

You can't kill them, and you can't shake them off.

He could only patiently explain, "But there are prerequisites."

"What are the conditions?" Qi Jingxi was extremely curious.

Qi Jingchen's face darkened: "How would I know?"

Who does this idiot think he is?

If he had that ability, would he have kept it hidden until now?

"Hey... after all this talk, you still don't know?" Qi Jingxi clicked her tongue in amazement.

Why pretend to be so mysterious and profound with him?

He thought his older brother knew!

Qi Jingchen closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Having seen many sons like the second son at home, he was much more peaceful when working in the court.

"Let's ask Yu'er tomorrow," Qi Jingchen said.

His sister came back and immediately fell asleep.

Doing so much in such a short time must be exhausting.

Qi Jingxi had no objection to this.

Even if he was incredibly curious, he couldn't let his sister's rest be disturbed.

So it wasn't until the following evening, after dinner, that Qi Jingxi voiced her doubts.

Qi Zhiyu looked at him, puzzled: "Who said that booklet was written by people from the Siyun tribe?"

Qi Jingxi understood that it was already quite rare for ordinary people to know even a few characters.

As for writing, that is even rarer.

"Did you have someone else write it for you?" That was the only thing Qi Jingxi could think of.

"No, that's not it." Qi Zhiyu frowned slightly, looking at her family members, feeling that their thoughts were quite different.

"Aren't Father's men stationed at the border?" Qi Zhiyu looked at Prince Rui.

She needed to recommend replacements for the existing soldiers, and since they were already stationed at the border, she was able to bring the imperial edict there, read it aloud, and incidentally promote them to their positions.

"Yes." Prince Rui nodded. "You also know how to contact them."

Yu'er's job in the past was to ensure that those few people could take office smoothly.

"Yes." Qi Zhiyu said, but seeing that her family members still looked completely bewildered, she couldn't understand it.

"Before I set off, I sent them a letter asking them to write a booklet filled with names."

"The Siyun tribe claims to have tens of thousands of people, but who would bother to count whether there are actually ten thousand names in that book?"

"Besides, even the Siyun tribe probably doesn't know exactly how many people there are."

"I just had my dad's people write down the approximate quantities; there was no need for me to go over and write them down myself."

The four men, including Prince Rui, were a little confused.

Qi Jingxi asked directly, "Sis, are you saying that all the names on that booklet are fake?"

"It can't be said that it's all fake," Qi Zhiyu corrected him.

"It's normal for people from the border to know the names of some of their important figures after interacting with the Siyun tribe for so long, right?"

Qi Jingxi nodded in agreement: "That's normal."

"See, that's it," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile. "Write down those names, and just write anything else for the rest..."

"Anyway, it's a mix of truth and falsehood. Can the envoy and the high shaman really remember the names of everyone in their tribe?"

Qi Zhiyu scoffed, "They probably don't even recognize everyone."

"Then, what about the handprint?" Qi Jingxi asked subconsciously.

Qi Zhiyu was even more surprised: "Father has several people. Can't they just have someone they trust come over and put their fingerprints on it together?"

"Can't a person press their ten fingers and ten toes alternately?"

"As long as it's on one page and not too repetitive, that's fine."

"Who would actually go looking for the corpses of those Siyun tribe members, and find their handprints one by one?"

"Feet too?" Qi Jingxi asked in astonishment.

Qi Zhiyu disagreed: "Second brother, toes also have fingerprints, you can't discriminate against toes."

Qi Jingchen turned to look at Prince Rui, and it was truly a complicated situation.

They racked their brains for a long time, but still couldn't figure out how his sister had done it.

So... it was all a fake.

His sister is the real devil!

He felt inferior to them.

Prince Rui opened his mouth, unsure of what to say.

It turns out that even he has a day when he runs out of words.

Qi Jingxi, however, exclaimed excitedly, "Sis, it has to be you again!"

"No one would have expected this!"

"You're so smart!"

He's his sister's brother, and he's proud of it!

"You make it sound so easy, child," Princess Rui said with concern. "You must be exhausted after rushing there and killing so many people."

Regardless of what her daughter did, the Siyun tribe was undeniably razed to the ground.

That's all thanks to her daughter!

"It's alright." Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly, tilting her head.

She had done this kind of thing many times in her past life: traveling thousands of miles to kill people.

Those people only praise her for being amazing, but there really isn't anyone like her mother who cares about whether she's tired or not.

It feels good to have someone care about you.

She came back and fell asleep immediately. In her drowsy state, when she was hungry or thirsty, someone fed her water or porridge.

She could tell it was her mother.

Also, her father, eldest brother, and second eldest brother came to check on her several times during the journey.

Even when she's asleep, her instincts will alert her when someone gets close.

Therefore, she was aware of their worries and concerns.
