Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Everyone’s attention fell on Lou Qianxue.
She… She actually managed to do it!!!
“How did she do that?”
“This is way too unbelievable!”
“No! It’s impossible!” Liu Mansheng pulled a face as his body trembled. He rebuked in a loud voice, “This can’t be true! How is this possible…”
“General Liu.” Lou Qianxue looked at Liu Mansheng with mockery in her eyes. “What do you mean by this? Did you want me to fail?”
“I…” Liu Mansheng’s face turned beet red, and he looked at Lou Qianxue with hatred…
It’s her! It’s all because of her!
If not for her, I would’ve already taken over Crown Prince’s power!
“Your Royal Highness.” Lou Qianxue cast Liu Mansheng a scornful look, then looked toward Crown Prince Yu and continued, “Liu Mansheng maliciously plotted to usurp power and weaken the morale of the military. I think that he should be punished according to the military law!”
“You!” Liu Mansheng’s face contorted as he looked at Lou Qianxue with rage. “Shut up! I have been stationed here in Liang city for decades! You, a mere chit of a girl, have no say over me!”
“Impertinent!” Crown Prince Yu bellowed. His cold gaze shot daggers at Liu Mansheng. “Lou Qianxue is my assistant general and the one who successfully burned down the food repositories of the Nandu Nation’s one-million-strong army! Yet, General Liu refers to her as a mere chit of a girl…
“General Liu, do you think that my father was so deluded and incompetent that he sent a chit of a girl here, or do you think that I, the supreme commander, is a pushover and you can challenge my authority however you wish?”
This was the first time the Crown Prince of Tian Zhao had displayed his aggressiveness since arriving at Liang city.
“Somebody! General Liu is insubordinate, is contesting the supreme commander, and weakening the soldiers’ morale. He shall be punished in accordance with the military law!”
“Your Royal Highness! Your Royal Highness— No, Your Royal Highness!” Liu Mansheng bellowed in desperation. Suddenly, he thought of something, and his eyes went wide. He yelled, “Your Royal Highness, she may have succeeded, but she’s not innocent! She caused the deaths of many Chu Army soldiers!”
“Indeed, I heard that the Chu Army soldiers were sent to execute the mission with Lou Qianxue, but she’s the only one who came back.”
“If that’s the case, I think the Chu Army should be the one credited for the success, not Lou Qianxue!”
“I agree! If the valiant Chu Army soldiers had not assisted her, how could she, a young girl, possibly complete the mission?”
Everyone began to look at Lou Qianxue weirdly…
“Ha…” Lou Qianxue sneered and mockingly looked at Liu Mansheng. “You truly will not give up until all hope is gone. Since you enjoy being a laughingstock so much… then, Your Royal Highness, let’s wait.”
Everyone looked at Lou Qianxue in doubt.
Wait?
Waiting for what?
Soon!
Clip-clop! Clip-clop!
Sounds of galloping horses approaching the army camp sounded closer and closer.
Someone is coming! Everyone thought. They turned to look in the direction where the sound was coming from. They saw more than a dozen figures approaching the camp.
Chu Pengcheng, the current leader of the Chu Army, recognized a few familiar figures from a distance away. He could not help but let out a look of joy. “Zhang Wei, Yan Xu, He Hai… Chu Army soldiers! It’s the Chu Army soldiers! The Chu Army soldiers who left together with Miss Lou last night are back!”
This shocked everyone.
All the 15 Chu Army soldiers riding on the horses appeared safe and unharmed. They came down from the horses and greeted the generals with their fists in their palms.
“Subordinates have not let down Your Royal Highness’s and the generals’ trust. The mission has been successfully completed!”
“!!!” Liu Mansheng’s eyes went wide with fear. “How is this possible? How is it possible that all of you are still alive? You should be dead!”
“General Liu, mind your words!” One of the Chu Army soldiers glared at him. “With Miss Lou around, nothing was going to happen to us! We have returned late simply because our cultivation was not as good and we were too slow.”
As he said, this Chu Army soldier could not hide his agitation. He looked at Crown Prince Yu and Zhen Guogong. “We do not dare to take credit. We managed to complete the mission all because of Miss Lou. The credit goes to her alone!”
Oh my god!
Everyone was astonished!
