Lin WanYue returned to her tent and put the food box on the table, staring at the food box quietly .

After a while, she opened the box layer by layer, and there were four plates of delicate cakes, which Lin WanYue had never seen before .

Lin WanYue took them out in a line on the table and looked at them carefully .

The first plate of cakes were crystal clear, and Lin WanYue carefully picked up one piece, only to see petals of May flowers inside .

The second plate of cakes formed a pattern of a pair of mandarin ducks (usual metaphor for affectionate couple in China) . Lin WanYue could smell an fresh aroma of mung beans .

Each piece of cakes in the third plate had a shape of a lotus flower, but the color of each petal was different .

The last plate of cakes were like many blossoming peony flowers .

Lin WanYue watched these wonderful cakes in a daze . She thought she must be very happy if she could eat nice food like these cakes everyday.

The next afternoon, a royal command was sent to Li Mu .

Li Mu was forced not to retreat again, and the brief ease life ended .

No one liked to fight except Lin WanYue . She had killed 61 Huns .

The next day, the Huns came up when the light of dawn scattered over the military camp .

"Toot..."

The sound of the horns of the sentries spread throughout the military camp . Lin WanYue quickly took her black bow and quiver, rushing out of her tent .

"Dong! Dong! Dong..."

The drums sounded .

"Princess, the Huns are coming, I bring my people to protect you!" Li Zhong took his guards to Li Xian's tent .

Li Xian didn't have time to comb her hair, and her black hair scattered like a waterfall . When she heard the voice of Li Zhong, she walked out of her tent .

"Princess, go back soon . I will take people outside to stand guard," said Li Zhong .

"Shizi, thank you . I want to go forward to watch the battle . It is better to let your guards join the battle," said Li Xian .

"But you are taking a risk," said Li Zhong .

Li Xian smiled and said: "As long as our defense is not broken, it is the same everywhere . Besides, my father appointed you supervisor . So you must stay in the front line to supervise the army . "

"You are right, but you'd better stand farther away from the front line," replied Li Zhong .

As Li Mu waved his hand, the camp door was slowly pulled up .

"Charge!" 16 pioneer commanders rushed through the camp door with all their soldiers .

On the camp wall, the archers in the front row stepped back after all their arrows were shot out, and the rear row of archers immediately went to the front row . All the archers from the flying-feather battalion had tacit cooperation .

However, there was only one person among them, who had been standing in the forefront from beginning to end, ignoring the arrows flying past her cheeks from time to time . This warrior was just the commander of the flying-feather battalion — Lin WanYue!
