“Oh? Why do you say this?” Crown Prince Yu said with curiosity, “Please tell us what happened last night.”
“Yes, yes. Quickly share how all of you infiltrated the one-million-strong army and burned down the 15 food repositories!” Zhen Guogong stared at the 15 Chu Army soldiers with wide eyes, As his face flushed with excitement.
The Chu Army soldier who had spoken first shared about the things Lou Qianxue did last night, as well as what he saw.
“Change into the clothes of the Nandu Nation soldiers? This idea may be feasible, but you risk being discovered anytime. If you get exposed…”
“What? Every time any one of you was almost exposed, Lou Qianxue would appear in time to help you? How is that possible? How would she know that you were almost exposed? How can she appear so precisely? It’s incredible!”
“Hmm? The Nandu Nation soldiers discovered you guys before you took action? Oh my god! That was so dangerous! But how did you burn down the 15 food repositories if you got discovered before taking action?”
“No way! Miss Lou herself? She fought the military and burned down the food repositories? Not even a fourth-grade defense inscription could stop her? Even General Su of the Nandu Nation could not harm her with his Crow Feather Bow! This… this is too incredible!”
The generals and soldiers in Liang city exclaimed non-stop as they listened to the Chu Army soldiers describe the events.
“You mean that she passed through one million soldiers as though she were crossing through no man’s land, burned down 15 food repositories, and even killed 30,000 Nandu Nation’s soldiers?” A hint of red appeared on Crown Prince Yu’s handsome yet pale face. He looked at the Chu Army soldiers with bright eyes.
“Yes, Your Royal Highness!” the Chu Army soldier respectfully replied.
“Good! Awesome!” Zhen Guogong was exhilarated after listening to the recount of events. He yelled with excitement.
Liu Mansheng became faint due to the rage in his heart, and his body shook!
He glared at Lou Qianxue with wrath and hatred, his heart filled with endless regret!
Why did I not listen to Third Prince?! Why did I not take this woman seriously?
If I had been more careful, this woman might… might have perished in the Nandu Nation!
Liu Mansheng clenched his teeth so tightly that it let out crunching noises…
“General Liu!” After hearing the recount of the events, Crown Prince Yu turned stern and forbidding. He turned to frostily look at Liu Mansheng. “Lou Qianxue completed the mission by herself and safely brought back all the Chu Army soldiers! Do you concede?”
Swish!
Everyone unanimously turned to look at Liu Mansheng.
He had said that Lou Qianxue could not complete the mission, but she did!
He had said that Lou Qianxue had caused the deaths of the 15 Chu Army soldiers, but they had returned safe and unharmed!
He had said that Crown Prince had made the wrong decision, but on Crown Prince’s orders, Lou Qianxue destroyed 15 food repositories of the Nandu Nation…
Compared to Crown Prince Yu’s intelligence and Lou Qianxue’s cleverness and combat power…
Liu Mansheng was just a clown and a laughing stock!
Everyone silently made the comparison to themselves. The way they looked at Liu Mansheng started to turn weird.
“…” Liu Mansheng shuddered. He appeared to have aged by dozens of years in an instant…
Thud!
He fell to his knees and groveled on the ground. His voice was hoarse and shaky. “I concede!”
“You were insubordinate, doubted an honorable officer, and attempted to usurp authority. I should punish you heavily, but you may be spared a harsh punishment and instead be given a lenient punishment because you are old! Kneel until noon, only then can you can get up!”
“Thank… you, Your Royal Highness for your mercy!”
Soon, the generals and the 70,000 soldiers dispersed and left.
“Father!” Liu Lei’s eyes were red. He trembled as he approached Liu Mansheng. “The useless Crown Prince stripped us of the power to command the Liu Army. What should we do now?”
“Don’t you dare cry!” Liu Mansheng jerked his head up, his face contorted and his eyes bloodshot. He resembled a vicious ghost. “So what if he took over the military power? Having military power doesn’t make everyone willingly obey.. The Liu Army will not betray us! We still have the Li brothers and the 20,000 reinforcement troops. We even have… I admit that I belittled that chit of a girl and the useless Crown Prince, but we have not lost!”
