Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1158: Far Too Hasty

A soldier walked over and handed the dagger he carried to Qin Yi.

"Thank you!"

Qin Yi took the dagger, and the Flood Dragon Spear in his other hand faded from view.

Cheng Fei held her spear horizontally, pointing it remotely at Qin Yi, "Qin, let me see what you mean by 'an inch shorter, an inch more dangerous'."

Qin Yi's lips curled slightly, "Then you better be careful!"

With that, he kicked off the ground, like an arrow, rushing towards Cheng Fei.

Cheng Fei let out a soft shout, her spear striking like lightning.

"Clang!"

The dagger in Qin Yi's hand swung across, deflecting the spear.

However, Cheng Fei sneered, sweeping the spear horizontally.

"Clang!"

Another deafening clash of metal, the dagger and spear struck against each other.

Immediately followed by a piercing metal grinding sound, Qin Yi quickly as lightning, maneuvered the dagger along the shaft of the spear.

Cheng Fei's face changed drastically, she hurriedly retreated, or her hand would be crippled by the dagger.

But, Qin Yi suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Cheng Fei was stunned, not understanding why Qin Yi suddenly stopped.

However, at this moment, Qin Yi moved again.

In a battle between experts, a millimeter's difference can lead to a mile of loss.

By the time Cheng Fei realized, Qin Yi's dagger was already near her hand holding the spear. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

But Cheng Fei was experienced in combat, she shook her wrist, swiftly spinning the spear, if Qin Yi's dagger struck the spear, it would definitely bounce away.

However, what Cheng Fei didn't expect was that Qin Yi's target wasn't her hand, but he suddenly increased his speed, brushing past her.

Cheng Fei's body stiffened sharply, goosebumps rose on her skin.

Qin Yi stood about ten meters behind her, turned around and looked at her playfully.

Cheng Fei clenched her fist tightly, turned to look at Qin Yi, instinctively touched her neck, where there was a thin line of blood, she gritted her teeth, "I lost!"

The surrounding soldiers were shocked, none of them understood why the War General admitted defeat.

Cheng Fei sighed, "Indeed, an inch shorter, an inch more dangerous. I have witnessed it."

After speaking, she looked at the surrounding soldiers in a daze, "Did you see clearly just now?"

The surrounding soldiers shook their heads one after another, they thought Cheng Fei was trying to protect the spear from being knocked away, brushed past Qin Yi, and saw nothing else.

"Come forward."

When the soldiers came forward, Cheng Fei raised her head, pointing to her fair neck, "Can you see now?"

Everyone was stunned, this time they saw clearly, there was a thin wound on Cheng Fei's neck, obviously cut by a dagger.

"Just now, when Qin brushed past me, I didn't have time to pull back my spear, at this moment it showed the advantage of a dagger, small and agile, quickly putting an enemy to death. This move, you must practice diligently, not only can you kill the enemy at critical times, but also save lives."

"Yes."

The soldiers responded in unison.

Cheng Fei glanced at Qin Yi, if Qin Yi had wanted to kill her just now, it would have been a breeze.

Qin Yi handed the dagger back to the soldier, and smiled slightly at Cheng Fei.

Cheng Fei shouted, "Alright, the move I used to fight Qin Yi just now, everyone saw it. You should spar with and study each other, especially how Qin Yi used the dagger just now, you should practice more."

"Yes."

The soldiers responded again.

Cheng Fei looked at Qin Yi, "Qin, come with me."

Qin Yi nodded slightly.

The two returned to the main hall one after the other.

Cheng Fei said, "I'll admit defeat, I lost. From today onwards, I promise to support the Third Princess."

"Isn't that too rash? The Third Princess has neither power nor influence, her birth mother is under house arrest, aren't you afraid she fails and implicates you?" Qin Yi asked.

"In my impression, the Third Princess is indeed unremarkable, I never thought she would vie for the throne. But this time the Third Princess went alone to the Tianyue Empire to steal the Cloud Moon plan, although she ultimately failed. But as a fellow woman, I admire her courage and boldness.

The Emperor's children are numerous, looking at all the Princes and Princesses, who else can do this? Eldest Prince, Eldest Princess, Second Prince? None of them can.

Besides, the Third Princess has your support, I believe even though she has no power or influence now, soon she'll go from nothing to something. And, someone like you, how could you support someone so easily? I guess the Third Princess must have some qualities that have made you decide to support her. Can you tell me what they are?"

Qin Yi pondered for a moment, smiled bitterly in his heart, initially he just wanted the map, who knew it would lead to this. But thinking carefully, his self-confidence was involved, sending someone impossible to a position, it should shock everyone, right?

"Because she has courage, boldness. Plus she is kind-hearted, with potential to become a wise ruler in the future."

Cheng Fei nodded, "Alright, from now on, I support the Third Princess. Not for anything else, just because we are both women, I admire her courage and boldness. Who says women are inferior to men? If the Third Princess ascends to the throne, who dares look down on us women."

Qin Yi: "..."

He always felt this Cheng Fei acts totally on whims, kind of neurotic.

"Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Qin Yi said, "Lay low for now, when I need your help, I will send someone with the message."

"Okay." Cheng Fei agreed readily, "Anything else you need?"

Qin Yi was slightly stunned, and shook his head slightly.

"Oh, then I need to train the soldiers, I won't keep you."

Qin Yi: "..."

Gosh, this woman really doesn't understand social etiquette. At least invite me for a meal.

Since she gave the eviction order, even with the thickest skin, Qin Yi would be embarrassed to stay, he can only bid farewell with a smile.

However, the goal for coming here this time has already been achieved, that's already good enough, what more could he ask for.

Qin Yi left.

After Qin Yi left, Cheng Fei muttered, "Should I have invited him for a meal?"

If Qin Yi knew, he would definitely curse Cheng Fei for being dense.

…

Poor Qin Yi, leaving War General Mansion with an empty stomach, though Cheng Fei doesn't understand human relationships, he must not mistreat his own stomach.

Qin Yi found a restaurant in the city, had a big meal, and then left Feiyun City.

Next stop, Yunya City.

Yun Baixuan truly has talent, twelve War Generals, along with Song Qingfeng whom he abolished, actually has five War Generals supporting him.

However, when Qin Yi arrived at Yunya City War General Mansion like Star Covering and Moon Cutting, he met with a closed door.

The War General of Yunya City was named Li Ying.

But, there was a conflict at the border between Yunyue Empire and Tianyue Empire, a great battle was about to break out, Li Ying had already rushed to the border yesterday.

Qin Yi thought for a long time, originally planned to go to the border to conquer Li Ying, but ultimately gave up.

He wondered how Qiu Tang and Li Tianyang were doing? His heart was set on Yun Mengyao, he decided to return to the Imperial City.

Li Ying was just one, let Yun Baixuan have him? Otherwise, this Second Prince would be too pitiful.

Qin Yi rested in Yunya City for half a day, replenishing his strength back to the peak state, then rushed towards the Imperial City.
