Snatching Women from the Male Lead-Chapter 165: The Eve of the War

Zhou Yuan said, "She said the person she liked was Huo Chengjin and she wanted to go to the Western Region to find Huo Chengjin.

But she accidentally deviated from the route and went to the northwest border.

But she had already spent all her travel money, and happened to meet me by chance, so she could only rely on my help to get through the difficult times.

Later, she agreed to my marriage proposal, only out of guilt, and finally realized at the last moment that she didn't want to deceive me anymore.

But I... have already invested too much emotion in her, deeply trapped in it and unable to extricate myself!"

It was quite a soap opera with a love triangle. Qin Zhao asked again, "Where did she go now?"

Zhou Yuan glanced at Huo Jun, "You have to ask Huo Chengjin about this. I gave her money enough to support her to go to the capital. 𝗳r𝐞ew𝚎bn𝚘ve𝚕.c𝗼𝗺

She is so beautiful that no man would not like her, right?"

Zhou Yuan looked towards Huo Jun who was wearing a mask, "Isn't that so? General Huo!"

Huo Jun coughed lightly and said, "I have not seen the woman you mentioned.

Maybe she got lost again."

Zhou Yuan: "..."

She put her arm around Qin Zhao's shoulder, "Besides, I am engaged to His Highness, please do not smear my reputation."

Qin Zhao put his arm around Huo Jun's waist cooperatively, "We have not seen General Huo keep any concubine outside either.

You have misunderstood her."

The posture of the two was a little awkward, unlike lovers, more like brother and sister. But it was enough to convince Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan was at a loss for words and sighed, "Forget it, it's all in the past now."

Qin Zhao clapped her hands and said, "Since the misunderstanding has been cleared up, we can start arranging things afterwards."

After briefly telling Zhou Yuan and Huo Jun about her plan, Qin Zhao went to the camp where Yu Qingzhu lived.

Outside the camp, she saw Yu Qingzhu stewing medicine. Qin Zhao walked over and asked, "Sister, is someone sick?"

Yu Qingzhu fanned the stove fire and looked up, "The weather has been hot recently. General Huo's training intensity is too high, causing some soldiers to suffer from heat stroke. So I stewed some medicine to clear heat and detoxify for them."

"Sister is kind, and she is a blessing for our Northwestern Army."

Qin Zhao sat next to Yu Qingzhu, "I have been with you for so long, but I have never heard you talk about your plans for the future. Can you tell me a little bit?"

"I listen to my master's arrangements. She let me inherit the No Illness Hall."

"But your life belongs to you."

Yu Qingzhu fell silent for a while.

After a short while, she said, "Let me think about it first, then I'll tell you later."

Qin Zhao said, "If you haven't figured it out yet, I have a proposal."

Yu Qingzhu signaled her to continue.

Qin Zhao said, "I have a half-disabled man under my command who can still be saved.

If you have time, can you help me cure him?"

Yu Qingzhu said, "To save lives and heal the wounded is the duty of doctors."

"Thank you so much."

Yu Qingzhu's medical skills were already good. She cured Zhou Yuan in just two days.

After recovering his mobility, Zhou Yuan took Qin Zhao's order and rushed to Cangxi City overnight.

He did not fail her trust and successfully resolved the crisis in Cangxi City.

On this side of Yunzhong City, Huo Jun led the Northwestern Army and conquered two cities in just ten days, driving the Chi Rong Army to Muding City.

Huo Jun's prestige reached unprecedented heights!

July 16th, the 18th year of Yuangjia Reign

The 100,000 reinforcements of Chi Rong arrived at Chi Rong City!

Together with the 30,000 Chi Rong troops in Muding City and the 20,000 Jihou troops retreated from Cangxi, there were a total of 150,000 troops.

They would have the final decisive battle with the 100,000 Northwestern Army!

On the morning of the 19th, Qin Zhao, who had not yet awakened from her sleep, was awakened by the earth-shaking battle drums outside the city!

She irritably covered her ears and snuggled into Qi Yan Su Luo's arms.

Qi Yan Su Luo pinched her face and said, "As the commander-in-chief, do you want to lie down and lose without going out early to direct the battle?"

Qin Zhao said in a muffled voice, "With Huo Jun here, I will only lie down to win."

"You didn't come to the northwest border just to win battles, but to accumulate troops and expand your power.

If you let Huo Jun do everything, do you think the Northwestern Army will recognize you or Huo Jun?"

Qin Zhao was surprised that Qi Yan Su Luo was thinking so much for her.

Qin Zhao moved closer, kissed the corner of her mouth, and rubbed noses with her, "You care about me so much, huh? My future empress."

Qi Yan Su Luo lowered her eyes and said, "After all, I have to rely on you to take revenge for my clansmen and people."

"Pretending to be tough, you obviously care about me!"

Qi Yan Su Luo was annoyed and pushed Qin Zhao off the bed, "Get out of bed quickly!"

Qin Zhao silently crawled up from the ground and got dressed.

Today was indeed very important and she could not be lazy in bed.

After getting dressed, she said, "Just stay in the tent and don't go out, so you won't be disturbed by the bloody air. Today the two armies will surely have a big battle!"

Qi Yan Su Luo said, "Please come back alive."

"Of course."

...

Wearing golden armor, Qin Zhao walked through the soldiers coming and going.

She went up to the top of Muding City.

Huo Jun greeted her, "Your Highness, you got up so early?"

Qin Zhao: "..."

After becoming familiar with each other, Huo Jun would occasionally make some risque jokes with Qin Zhao.

This slightly sarcastic remark was probably to ease the tense atmosphere permeating the air.

Qin Zhao stood beside Huo Jun and asked, "Are you ready?"

Huo Jun replied, "Of course."

Qin Zhao nodded in satisfaction and looked up at the sky, secretly hoping that all seven stars of Big Dipper would be lit up tonight!

There were some familiar faces under the city.

E Le Deng, Sa Qi, the fourth prince Wuji...

It seemed that the surrounding small countries had all united.

Looking on the downside, none of them were optimistic about Yue's development.

Looking on the bright side, they underestimated Yue under Qin's rule.

E Le Deng raised his hand and the battle drums stopped abruptly.

He shouted at the people on the city tower, "People of Yue Country, listen up!

If you have guts, fight us openly and fairly, don't hide in the city like a turtle!

Let's not be sneaky. No political schemes, just face to face duel fairly, punch by punch, flesh by flesh!

Do you dare to accept the challenge?!"

Qin Zhao said: "He really dares to say that. Their 150,000 people against my 100,000 men is fair play?

Shameless stuff.

However, his proposal is not bad."

Huo Jun asked, "What does Your Highness mean?"

"It's time to assess the results after you have trained the Northwestern Army for so long."

"If so, I will follow your words."

Huo Jun shouted at E Le Deng, "Good! My Northwestern Army accepts your challenge!"

Qin Zhao and Huo Jun walked down from the tower together and asked several generals to gather the soldiers for pre-battle mobilization.

The generals and soldiers gathered at the fastest speed.

The small square was crowded with 100,000 people.

The hot weather and crowded people led everyone to hold back their energy.

Facing the blazing sun, with shining sweat beading their faces, everyone looked solemn.

Huo Jun said, "Today is the last battle between our army and the barbarians. It's time to show your prowess and let this general see your ability!"

In unison they shouted loudly: "Northwestern Army! Northwestern Army!!"

After everyone calmed down, Huo Jun said, "Good! Go out of the city to welcome the battle!"
