An Eight-year-old Princess novel Chapter 252

In these days, although Yun Shang tried again and again to get rid of Qi Lang's move, she still did not want to interfere with him in the army as this city was his turf. If she made a mistake, all she had done would be in vain.

However...

Yun Shang turned to the man in black who was kneeling in the front and frowned. "I remember that you told me the other day that you were already in the camp of the State of Xia and even sneaked into the army. Why didn't anyone report the Xia's attack in advance?"

The man quickly said, "The State of Xia did not make too much noise. I guess today's attack may only involve one of the elite forces of the State of Xia, the number of which is no more than five thousand, or one of the teams that did not launch a mission with the State of Xia at all. But no matter what, this team attacked at night and did not disturb our soldiers. I'm afraid that there are not many people in the army and they dare not really dare to disturb the men from our side to capture the city."

Yun Shang thought for a moment and agreed with him in her heart. In fact, not only the secret guards, she also sent many of her guards to the Xia's army to gather information. But none of them reported the action of the Xia's troops tonight.

Yun Shang nodded and waved her servants down. It would be hard for them to fall asleep with all the noise outside. Yun Shang called Qian Yin to help her get dressed. She turned on all the lights in the room and sat on the bench with her eyes closed. She was thinking about the map of the State of Ning and the State of Xia that she had drawn again and again some time ago.

There was a knock at the door outside, and neither Yun Shang nor Qian Yin opened their eyes. After a while, they heard footsteps coming from outside. One was a maid waiting for them in the outer hall, and the other was a stranger's.

Just when she was thinking about it, a voice came. "Your Highness, the army of the State of Xia is attacking. I'm a servant girl of Lady Qi. My master asked me to tell you that it's a bit messy outside. Luckily, it's not a big deal. There's no need to panic, your highness."

"I see. Thank Lady Qi for her kindness." Yun Shang said gently and kept her eyes closed.

It seemed that the outside kept silent for a while. Then she heard the footsteps fade away.

Yun Shang curled her lips into a smile. Lady Qi must be a lady of noble birth. As long as she heard the news, she should know, and there was no big deal in the battle. She must be a smart woman like she thought. She must be a woman with a clear mind.

"Lady Shun Qing, it's still a lot of time till early in the morning. Shall we take a rest?" Qian Yin felt Yun Shang sleepy and knew that she was always a sleepy girl, so she suggested.

Yun Shang shook her head, "I'm afraid we can't sleep well tonight. Though it's only a small team, it's Liu Yinfeng's means. He knows Qi Lang well. Tonight's night attack, I'm afraid, is not to frighten us."

Hearing this, Qian Yin stopped persuading Yun Shang. She went out of the inner room, fetched a cup of tea and placed it on the table.

Not long after, the secret guard rushed in. "Your Highness, the troops of the assassin are about four thousand people. They attacked the Ning camp outside the northern city gate. There are more than eight thousand soldiers of the State of Ning, dead or wounded. As soon as the sneak attack was successful, the State of Xia withdrew their troops immediately. But... "

The secret guard said after a pause, "General Qi thinks it's a provocation from Xia. They killed eight thousand people of the State of Ning with four thousand, but they still went away unhurriedly. Feeling enraged, he called in the army, saying that he would lead the army to pursue the enemy."

Yun Shang knocked on the teacup lid and sighed with a frown. "Qi Lang is really... Conceited and reckless... "
