Ming Li: It depends.
System: Host, in the original plot, Xing Zhi Lin was ambushed during this battle and severely injured.
The reason the Xiongnu were repelled in the original plot was due to a resourceful strategist in the army, and later Xing Zhi Lin fought on despite his injuries, which allowed them to drive back the Xiongnu. However, Xing Zhi Lin lost half his life in the process, and even without the male lead's intervention, he wouldn't have lived much longer.
Ming Li raised an eyebrow, her gaze calmly sweeping over the two groups of people fighting fiercely below the city wall. She then picked up the wine pot and took another gulp.
Suddenly, a black-clothed figure holding a crossbow appeared on the chaotic battlefield.
The figure in black aimed the crossbow at Xing Zhi Lin, who was engrossed in fighting the enemy not far ahead, and then with a slight movement of their finger, pressed the trigger.
With a *whoosh*, a cold-looking arrow shot fiercely towards Xing Zhi Lin's chest.
Ming Li knitted her brows and threw a wine pot, perfectly smashing the incoming crossbow bolt.
Ming Li took out the fan she used for showing off from her spatial storage and fanned herself, muttering, "A waste of my wine."
Below the city wall.
As Xing Zhi Lin fought, he suddenly smelled a familiar scent of wine. He glanced down at the ground and immediately saw the broken wine pot.
Xing Zhi Lin's brows furrowed with distress. During a brief lull in the fight, he glanced up at the city wall and, as expected, saw Ming Li standing there.
"You wasteful prince, if you weren't going to drink that wine, you could have given it to me. Why throw it on the ground? What a pity!"
Xing Zhi Lin decided that after he repelled the Xiongnu, he would properly educate Ming Li and absolutely forbid her from wasting another drop of wine!
Detecting Xing Zhi Lin's inner thoughts, the system said: "......You're still on the battlefield, big brother! If you're not focused like this, aren't you afraid of being stabbed through in the next second?"
(ー_ー)!!
......
The Xiongnu, displeased with their failed attempt, sent out several more assassins, determined to take Xing Zhi Lin's head to boost morale.
Inside a tent in the Xiongnu camp, a man clad in armor sat in the head seat and said, "I heard the Seventh Prince of Lin Kingdom has also arrived?"
The person kneeling below replied, "Replying to the General, our intelligence confirms this."
The man in the head seat narrowed his eyes, a slight curve on his lips, and said, "After we take care of this Xing Zhi Lin, capture him for me. Alive."
"Yes!"
Meanwhile.
The system suddenly spoke with schadenfreude, "Host, it seems you've been targeted."
Ming Li raised an eyebrow, her tone very calm, "Targeted? So what! If they can catch me, they win."
System: "......Go, go, go, someone else is about to have bad luck. Hurry and get the candles."
Ming Li completely ignored the system's words and continued to watch the scene below the city wall with boredom.
Suddenly, Ming Li's beautiful eyes darkened. Following her gaze, she saw several figures in identical black clothes appearing on the battlefield, each holding a hidden weapon.
At this moment.
Several black-clothed figures were stealthily approaching Xing Zhi Lin's position.
Xing Zhi Lin, focused on fighting the enemy, was completely unaware of the impending danger, wielding his long spear with immense power.
"Fighting is fighting, why play dirty?"
Saying this, Ming Li snapped her fan shut and sent it flying towards the black-clothed figures.
With a *thud*, several black-clothed figures, who were about to make their move with hidden weapons, fell to the ground, collapsing in pools of blood. Ming Li's fan also landed on the battlefield, almost being stepped on.
Ming Li frowned and jumped directly from the impossibly high city wall.
The engaged fighters were suddenly interrupted by a purple figure descending from the sky, crashing into the midst of the ongoing battle.
Everyone instinctively stopped their movements and turned their gazes towards the purple figure.
Ming Li landed on the ground, her purple robes fluttering in the wind, coupled with her devilishly beautiful face, exuding an ethereal aura.
In a daze, everyone thought they were seeing a fairy descending...
"Bah!"
"Wrong."
"It should be a god."
Ming Li bent down to pick up her fan, which had gotten a bit dusty, and patted it. Seeing everyone staring at her, she said calmly, "I'm just picking up my fan, continue."
With that, she completely ignored everyone and indeed flew back to the city wall.
Everyone: "......(⊙o⊙)"
The system in her space: "......This is a battlefield, hey! Host, can you not be so perfunctory?"
A certain Seventh, who was lurking, said, "System, shut up. Can't you see the great boss is showing off?"
The system rolled its eyes so hard they almost touched the sky.
ps: Thank you, my dears, for the gifts!
