Warm medicine emits fragrance

The next day, Fan Liuer heard that Yan Ling had been sent back to the Yan family's main residence.

Another day later, the followers of Yanling, led by Yi Chengzhi, were either sent away or killed, and Yanling's power was disintegrated. From then on, Yanqiu became the only dominant force.

As usual, Li Chenbi went in and out of Yan Qi's tent from dawn till dusk every day, and no news of him angering Yan Qi was reported.

Fan Liuer was finally at ease and could stay in the army camp with peace of mind.

The only thing that bothered her during this period was that the relationship between Li Chenbi and Qi Weiming was getting worse and worse.

After learning that she was in the military camp, Qi Weiming often found various excuses to visit her, bringing her food one day and novelties the next to help her pass the time.

Li Chenbi is busy every day and spends most of his time away from the tent, so Li Qiuping has to guard the outside.

But Li Qiuping only has one pair of eyes, and there will always be times when he can't defend himself.

Every day when Li Chenbi returned to his tent and saw the extra things inside, he knew that Qi Weiming had been there, and he would immediately leave the tent with a sullen face.

Fan Liuer knew that she had gone to argue with Qi Weiming.

Fan Liuer tried to persuade Qi Weiming not to come, but she couldn't stop him.

"Liu'er, don't overthink it. Now that you've decided to marry Li Chenbi, I won't be the villain who destroys someone else's marriage. But we did have a connection, which was arranged by fate. I have no other relatives in this world, and I've long regarded you as family. Just consider me your brother." These were Qi Weiming's exact words.

Since he had already said that, Fan Liuer really didn't know how to persuade her.

As for Li Chenbi, she had no idea how to persuade him. Not to mention persuading him, she didn't dare to mention the word "Qi" in front of him at all.

Even homophones cannot be mentioned. If Li Chenbi is mentioned, she will start to speak sarcastically and eventually have to be tormented.

Being in the military camp is not as convenient as being at home, so Fan Liuer was always on tenterhooks and very careful.

Li Chenbi took advantage of this and recklessly provoked her.

Of the group, Chuixue was the happiest, completely unconcerned that Qi Weiming's heart was entirely devoted to Fan Liuer.

She stated frankly that as long as Fan Liuer didn't like Qi Weiming, then she could like Qi Weiming.

Therefore, she was always very enthusiastic whenever Qi Weiming came, which made Qi Weiming feel a little good about her.

Qi Weiming dislikes Li Chenbi, as well as those around Li Chenbi.

Chuixue was the only promising talent he felt hadn't colluded with Li Chenbi. Every time he saw Chuixue, he would advise her to stop following Li Chenbi after the war, as it was too dangerous for her to stay by his side and she might lose her life someday.

Chuixue always agreed readily, which made Qi Weiming find her even more pleasing to the eye.

This was with Qi Weiming. On Li Chenbi's side, Chuixue expressed her loyalty, saying that she was always monitoring and guarding against Qi Weiming, not letting him get close to Fan Liuer.

Li Chenbi therefore rewarded her with an additional privilege: to continue monitoring Qi Weiming.

Chuixue managed to appease both sides, leaving Fan Liuer in awe.

That's actually possible.

The battle went smoothly, and the imperial army quickly retreated due to the overwhelming firepower. Yan Qi pursued the victory, and the main force set off overnight.

Fan Liuer returned to the luggage escort team, still accompanied by Chuixue and Li Qiuping.

The journey was difficult at night, so they didn't walk very fast. At first, Fan Liuer was still quite excited and chatted and laughed with Chuixue along the way.

She soon grew tired and dozed off against Fubuki.

Just as she was about to fall completely asleep, the carriage suddenly stopped.

She was used to the shaking, so the sudden stop startled her awake. She sat bolt upright, asking, "What's wrong?"

Fan Liuer craned her neck to look ahead.

The line stretched as far as the eye could see; all she could see was a sea of ​​heads.

"Something must have happened up ahead. Don't worry, even if something did happen, it won't affect us," Li Qiuping said, turning back to comfort her. Then he said to the person next to the carriage, "Go ahead and ask around."

No sooner had that person left than Li Chenbi sent someone over.

The man whispered a few words in Li Qiuping's ear and then stepped back, but he didn't leave. Instead, he gripped the sword at his waist and stood guard by the carriage.

Fan Liuer's heart tightened slightly, and she quickly asked Li Qiuping, "What happened?"

Li Qiuping turned around and whispered, "There are assassins ahead. Master ordered us to stay here and guard you."

"An assassin?" Fan Liuer was slightly surprised.

How could an assassin appear at a time like this?

Who are they targeting?

Yan Qi or... Li Chenbi?

Fan Liuer couldn't help but worry. Now, at the slightest sign of trouble, she would worry about Li Chenbi, always afraid that something might happen to him.

Fubuki noticed her nervousness and comforted her, "Madam, don't worry. There are so many people in the army. Even if an entire army came, let alone an assassin, they wouldn't be able to cause any trouble."

This is exactly what Fan Liuer is worried about: what kind of assassin would attack an army on its march?

Isn't this just blatant suicide?

Unless, of course, these assassins came prepared and were confident they could kill the person they wanted to assassinate.

The line was so long that those at the back couldn't see or hear anything from the front; all they could hear was the increasingly noisy discussions around them.

The column came to a standstill; no one at the front gave the order, and those at the back dared not advance rashly.

With no movement coming for a long time, Fan Liuer grew increasingly uneasy.

I don't know how long I waited, maybe a quarter of an hour, or maybe less, before I finally heard some movement from ahead.

The noise included shouting, cursing, and fighting.

Li Qiuping reacted quickly, protecting Fan Liuer as she got off the carriage. "Madam, let's find a place to hide so we don't get caught in the crossfire."

Fan Liuer was terrified of death, so she immediately followed Li Qiuping off the carriage and, with the help of others, withdrew from the group.

The group had just left the group and hadn't gone far when the commotion behind them drew near.

She turned around and saw a carriage coming from the opposite direction. Besides the driver, there were several people standing in the carriage.

As the distance closed, Fan Liuer could see the faces of the people in the carriage clearly.

Standing in front was Yan Qiu, with a dagger at his neck. The one holding the dagger was Yan Ling, who was standing behind him.

Several others protected Yanling to prevent him from being attacked from behind.

Several horses followed behind the carriage, led by Yan Qi, followed by Li Chenbi, Qi Weiming, and others.

Yan Qi's furious voice rang out, "Stop him!"

The procession behind immediately lined up, surrounding Yanling's carriage and blocking his way.

Yanling's carriage was forced to stop. He stared at the soldiers before him and said coldly, "Get out of the way, or I'll kill him right now!"

No one dared to move, but no one dared to approach either.

"Madam, let's step aside for now," Li Qiuping reminded her.
