An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 249 The Competition At The Banquet (Part Two)

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.

Qi Yufeng smiled and shook his head. His eyes and brows curved, and he looked much better than Qi

Yuzhi was. His voice was gentler. "It's my duty to protect our country and defend our country. I'm

flattered. Your highness, you left the banquet so early. Are you not satisfied with our reception? "

"No. I'm just weak and cannot stay up late, so I come back early to have a rest."

"Okay." Qi Yufeng answered in a light voice with a bit of unhappiness, "Your Highness, take care of

yourself. My mother told me that you are sick, but it's inconvenient to visit you. How are you doing

now?"

"Okay." Yun Shang didn't understand why he had stopped her here and told her that he wanted to have

a chat with her?

Driven by curiosity, Yun Shang calmed down more and waited. Qi Yufeng said, "I think there are some

interesting places in the KY City. If your highness is bored here, you can send for me. If I am not

patrolling, I can be your guide. It's autumn now. There are many wild fruit trees on the mountain in the

north of the city. Of course, it is very beautiful. The water surrounds the KY City. And the autumn is so

soft that it's worth seeing."

Yun Shang was at a loss as to what to do next, wondering his intention secretly. After a while, she said,

"If I am free, I will go and see."

Qi Yufeng seemed to have sensed the coldness in Yun Shang's voice. He smiled bitterly, "Your

Highness, you should go to bed early."

Yun Shang nodded. When she was about to leave, she heard a sound of air breaking. Behind her

shouted both Qi Yufeng and Qian Yin. "Your Highness, be careful!"

Yun Shang certainly knew what had happened. But she didn't want to reveal her Kung Fu in front of Qi

Yufeng, so she was pulled back by Qian Yin.

The three men in black came forward. They took out their swords and charged forward. Soon, Qi

Yufeng fought with the men in black together.

Qian Yin was about to help her, but Yun Shang stopped her by holding her hand and shook her head.

Qian Yin was confused but she didn't show it. She just supported Yun Shang and watched the fight with

the three men.

Although Qi Yufeng was strong, he was alone. After a while, he had been a little out of shape. A man in

black seized the opportunity to pounce on Yun Shang. Yun Shang held Qian Yin's hand and stopped

her. When the man was about to get close to her, like there were eyes on his back, Qi Yufeng turned

around and rushed to her, holding her.

The man in black brandished his sword and tried to stab Qi Yufeng. Hearing the sound of cloth tearing,

Yun Shang heard the voice of a guard, "Assassins! Quick! Assassins!"

The men in black exchanged a knowing look with each other and left quickly.

Yun Shang smiled and thought, 'What a coincidence.' Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

"Are you okay, your highness?" With a thin sweat on his forehead, Qi Yufeng stood up, frowned and

asked with hesitation, "have those assassins hurt you?" His voice was tinged with eagerness.

Yun Shang shook her head, bit her lip and said gently, "I'm fine. Those assassins didn't hurt me. How

are you feeling, Mr. Qi?"

"I'm fine," Qi Yufeng coughed lightly. Yun Shang saw him shake before he suddenly fell to the

ground.
