Chapter 728: Liu Mansheng.
Two brothers with unique physiques… Joined the army two years ago… If I’m right, it should be them. They joined the army out of desperation back then. What a surprise that they have such achievements today.
The corners of Lou Qianxue’s lips lifted, forming a faint smile.
Soon…
The gates opened, and a group of generals led by a white-haired elder with a forbidding aura walked out.
“Zhenwei General Liu Mansheng sends his greetings to His Royal Highness The Crown Prince.”
Crown Prince Yu’s pale and handsome face let out a faint smile. “General Liu, please rise.”
Lou Qianxue glanced at him. He was another person worthy of a Best Actor award.
After the 20,000 soldiers rushed into the city, Liu Mansheng appeared to finally see Zhen Guogong. He laughed and exclaimed, “I see Zhen Guogong has come too! Excuse me for not noticing you! I was too focused on speaking with His Royal Highness… I heard that your illness was healed! Congratulations! However, you couldn’t cultivate for four years. I’m afraid you can’t regain your previous power even if you have recovered… I think you better be careful and not exhaust yourself in case your illness relapses! No one might be able to save you then.”
“!” Zhen Guogong’s body shook from the rage. However, he suppressed it and snorted. “Don’t worry, General Liu. This time, you and I, together with Miss Lou, are all just assistant generals. I know my place and have no problem managing my duties.”
“How tempestuous!” Lou Qianxue took a look at Zhen Guogong. “However, it’s true that his cultivation has not gained much… Never mind. I should help him achieve a breakthrough tonight.”
If someone else had heard this, they would be so shocked that their eyes might fall out from their sockets.
However, Dan Taiyuan, who walked just behind Lou Qianxue, remained expressionless and unbothered as though he had heard nothing…
“This is Miss Lou, right? Seeing is believing! You’re indeed beautiful.” It was not known when, but Liu Liu Mansheng’s gaze had landed on Lou Qianxue.
Lou Qianxue narrowed her eyes. “You flatter me, General Liu.”
General Liu’s eyes and ears have even infiltrated the 20,000 soldiers!
He even knows about my reputation in the army!
“General Liu.” Crown Prince Yu faintly smiled. “The army is exhausted after the journey here. Please make arrangements for everyone to rest. We can talk about updates from the frontline afterward.”
“Yes.” Contempt flashed across Liu Mansheng’s eyes.
The useless Crown Prince is still the useless Crown Prince. He was sick for so many years. Even if he can make Sun Qiang kneel, he will never amount to anything with his weak body!
The troops spent half a day resting.
On that night, Crown Prince Yu invited Lou Qianxue into the main tent.
When Lou Qianxue arrived at the tent, she saw Zhen Guogong and a few other commanders that she was unfamiliar with already inside the room.
Crown Prince’s face was still sickly pale. When he saw Lou Qianxue, he coughed before saying, “Miss Lou, please sit.”
The discussions began after she took her seat.
Lou Qianxue listened on for a moment and finally understood.
Everyone sitting here was a commander from the Chu Army, and the one at the foremost was Zhen Guogong’s eldest son Chu Pengcheng.
They were informing Crown Prince Yu about the situation in the army.
“The inner city that leads to the Tian Zhao Empire is guarded by the Liu Army, while the city that faces the enemy is guarded by us, the Chu Army. Besides, the Li Brothers lead some soldiers who are unwilling to join either the Chu Army or the Liu Army. They function as scouts and frequently go out to ambush and gather information about the Nandu Nation.”
“Hmph! Our Chu Army willingly devotes our lives to the empire, but such an arrangement has caused most of the fatalities to be brothers from our Chu Army! On the other hand, the Liu Army has been hiding at the back in comfort!”
“Luckily, we have the Li Brothers’ assistance… However, they are smart to not butter up or offend either the Chu Army or the Liu Army… Oh right! They went to spy on the Nandu Nation some time ago and have yet to return… When they return, I’ll let them come and meet Your Royal Highness. If Your Royal Highness can subdue them, that would be best!”
The commanders were discussing the matter when…
Bang!
A person forcibly intruded into the tent.
“Haha, why didn’t Your Royal Highness invite me for the meeting?”
