[It is difficult to hide the true meaning, and it is unclear]
Pei Duanyi, general Zhaolie of Tingdu, disguised himself as a man and guarded the northwest for twenty years.
Everyone in the world said that this general was weird: he was small in stature, handsome in appearance, and not rugged like a warrior at all. However, his numerous military exploits blocked the attention of many people.
An imperial edict summoned her to return to Beijing from the border, but what awaited her was not a reward, but the charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason and a cold prison.
She is the illegitimate daughter of the current Holy Emperor who cannot be seen in the light. He learned martial arts at the age of three, joined the army at the age of thirteen, and worshiped General Zhaolie at the age of eighteen. The emperor threatened her with her biological mother and fostered her into the Pei family, turning her into a chess piece for him to control. But after twenty years of hard work on the battlefield, this chess piece broke free from the chessboard and became a sharp blade to check and balance the imperial power.
After guarding the border for many years, Annan General Lu Shumeng, known as the "Little King of Hell", relied on ruthless torture methods and was ordered to return to Beijing to interrogate Pei Duanyi.
During three days and nights of interrogation in prison and intensified torture, Pei Duanyi did not vomit a word.
When others are tortured, fear, pain, and resentment will appear. And what he saw was a man who had been crushed once by fate. His bones had been broken and grown strong again.
He was interrogating a general who collaborated with the enemy and turned traitor, but the person in front of him did not look like a traitor at all.
The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were waiting to see a generation of famous generals fall suddenly. Unexpectedly, Pei Duanyi rescued himself in a desperate situation in prison, cleared his grievances, was restored to his original position, and once again became the leader of the military generals in the court.
After the storm settled, the two met repeatedly on narrow roads between the government and the public.
Those eyes that were always careless, but when they looked at her, they hid lingering scrutiny and exploration. Pei Duanyi, who had just escaped from purgatory, knew this very well and retreated step by step. Before she could escape from the emperor's chessboard, she unexpectedly fell under another unpredictable gaze.
