General’s Gambit: The Fleeing Concubine

“Daring to kidnap someone directly in the palace, you’re getting bolder.” Ling Zhou retracted her shiny dagger and glanced at the scout on the ground. “Tell me, what’s the current military situation of Night Crow and Ye Yao? What did you just tell Yu Ling? I want you to tell me everything without missing a word.”

“You are spies!”

“You are spies!” The scout looked back and forth between Ling Zhou in white and Tian Wu holding a sword.

“Slap!” Hearing the word “spies” again, Ling Zhou said nothing and slapped the scout. His head turned, leaving a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. “What did you call me?”

“What do you want?”

“I’ll tell you, I hate being called a spy the most! That slap was a lesson for you. Be careful when you speak in the future. Your face is so thick that my hand hurts from hitting you.” She painfully held her right hand, hating being called a spy more than anything.

“Miss…” Tian Wu urged Ling Zhou not to waste time on trivial matters.

“Speak! What is the current military situation?”

“Miss, with such great skills, why don’t you go to the frontline to check?” The scout retorted.

“I cherish my life and don’t…

“I don’t want to die so early.” Ling Zhou crossed her legs carelessly. “Stop looking around. Tell me what you just told Yu Ling.”

“…” The scout gritted his teeth.

“Won’t talk? Give him some color to see.” Ling Zhou became angry again and signaled to Tian Wu.

Tian Wu, following Ling Zhou’s order, stabbed her sword into the scout’s right hand supporting him on the ground. The scout screamed in pain, and Ling Zhou stuffed a teacup lid into his mouth before he could make a sound.

“Will you talk or not?” She grabbed his collar, asking coldly like a murderous demon.

“Ye Yao’s army has retreated from the city, and the main general, Si Muyi, was hit by a cold arrow and is currently unconscious.” The scout’s lips turned white, blood from his hand wound flowing like a fountain, staining Ling Zhou’s angry eyes.

“Was it Cloud Yi Hen from Night Crow?” she immediately asked.

“No… This person disappeared immediately after assassinating Si Muyi, and his identity is still under investigation.”

“Despicable! Secretly shooting an arrow! Only Cloud Yi Hen, that fool, would come up with such a trick. Saying they don’t know if he’s from Night Crow, it’s definitely one of his top experts.” Ling Zhou couldn’t help but roar. In the pungent smell of blood, she seemed to see Cloud Yi Hen’s bloody hands.

“Miss, the general is not such a despicable person. It might be the work of Hua Chen.”

“Tell me, where is Su Mi’er now?” Ling Zhou asked with reddened eyes. With such a big incident happening to Ye Yao, based on Xiaoxiao’s personality, she would definitely go out.

“I don’t know who she is.”

“Haven’t you heard any news about her?” Ling Zhou looked suspiciously at the informant lying in pain on the ground. “If you don’t speak, you should know what will happen to you.”

“Miss, I really don’t know…”

“Shh!” Tian Wu made a silencing gesture as someone was approaching Qingfeng Pavilion. Hearing the footsteps coming towards Ling Zhou, Tian Wu raised her sword tip, signaling.

the informant to remain silent.

“Miss Xia, the Emperor said to dine with you tonight,” came an effeminate eunuch’s voice from outside.

“Is that so? Go tell your Emperor to bring the meal to me himself.” Hmph, trying to put on airs in the palace? Summer Ling Zhou wasn’t having it.

“This…” The eunuch outside looked troubled.

“Just go and relay the message,” Ling Zhou loudly dismissed the eunuch, worried about being discovered holding the informant captive.

“Yes, Miss Xia,” the eunuch agreed. “Oh, Miss Xia, the Emperor said palace maids will bring clothes and accessories later.”

“Yes, yes, I know!” Ling Zhou rolled her eyes, having just caught her breath.

As the footsteps faded, Ling Zhou sighed deeply and wiped away the cold sweat. She then turned back to the troublesome informant.

“Do you know what orders Night Yu and Hua Chen issued to the small countries? Why are they so eager to have Yu Ling return to the palace?” She suddenly recalled the military intelligence mentioned by his guards.

“This… I truly don’t know,” the informant bit his lower lip.

“What else do you know? Speak quickly! Otherwise, I’ll kill you,” Tian Wu’s icy gaze radiated a murderous intent, a light sword stroke away from eliminating the troublesome informant.

“I’ve told you everything I know. Can you let me go now?”

“Hahaha…” Ling Zhou threw her head back and laughed, “Let you go? Let you tell Yu Ling that I’ve captured his informant?”

“Miss, you…” The informant, who thought he might have a chance to live, looked at Ling Zhou in despair.

“Tian Wu, how does Yun Yi Hen usually handle this?”

“This subordinate knows what to do.”

Before the informant could react, Tian Wu’s sword flashed, and a bloody gash appeared on his neck. In an instant, he lost his life, without even feeling a hint of pain.

I want to clarify that “Wang Ye is Not Easy to Be” is not my work, but my sister’s. I’ve emphasized this many times.

As for why Teng Teng cares so much, I think… only when you…

“Oh, you killed him so quickly!” Turning around, the informant had already died, his eyes bulging horrifyingly. Ling Zhou felt her stomach churn; the person who had just been talking to her was now dead.

This was her first time seeing someone die in front of her. Ling Zhou’s heart suddenly contracted. She had killed someone! As a citizen of a law-abiding society, Summer Ling Zhou had killed for the first time. Though he hadn’t died by her hand directly, but by her order, just hearing about the cruelty of war, she was instantly affected by this bloodshed.

“Miss, what’s wrong?”

“I… I… I killed someone… he… he’s dead!” Ling Zhou seemed to wake up from a dream, wondering who that cold-blooded person had been just now.

“Miss…”

“Quickly move him out, wipe away the blood on the ground. I… I want to sleep.” The momentarily irrational Ling Zhou stumbled onto the bed, completely covering herself with a wide blanket.

“Yes, Miss.” Seeing Ling Zhou’s unusual state, Tian Wu approached and pressed a few acupoints through the blanket.


When Ling Zhou woke up again, the sky had gradually darkened like ink. Several palace maids brought candles and lit them with weak flames.

“Tian Wu, did I sleep for a long time?”

“Yes, Miss. The Emperor came earlier. Knowing you were sleeping, he left the meal before leaving.” Tian Wu helped Ling Zhou sit at the table.

“Really? Did he personally bring it?” Ling Zhou was skeptical. Could a monarch really lower himself to bring a meal to this young girl?

“Yes.”

“What a pity I was sleeping. Otherwise, I’d really like to see his expression; surely he was driven half-mad by me.” She played with the meal brought by Yu Ling himself, then suddenly noticed a bright red chili in the dish.

Ling Zhou dropped her chopsticks as if electrocuted. The bright red chili

It seemed like the informant’s blood was gushing out like a spring.

“What did you do with that informant?”

“Reporting to Miss, this subordinate has buried the informant’s body outside the palace on the adobe,” Tian Wu said in a low voice.

Here’s the English translation:

“Tianwu, you often stay close to Yun Yihen. Based on your understanding of him, what orders would he give to the surrounding small countries?”

“The general usually follows a strategy of courtesy before force. First…”

Lingzhou raised her hand to stop Tianwu. Using both soft and hard tactics, if they could be used for her purposes, that would be good; but if they remained stubborn, she would show no mercy.
