The sun hung high in the sky.

In the Tian Zhao army’s barracks,

“Your Royal Highness, it’s daytime. You have lost.”

Inside Crown Prince Yu’s tent, Liu Mansheng, who had stayed awake for the whole night, was energetic. Insincerely, he said, “Sigh! What a pity for Miss Lou! She was so young, but she died in the Nandu Nation… if she weren’t so reckless and had more patience, perhaps, she would not have fallen this way!”

“Shut up! Nothing will happen to Sister Qianxue! She will come back!” Chu Pengfei, who was beside Zhen Guogong, became enraged. He suddenly swung his fist at Liu Mansheng…

However…

Thwack!

Two commanders, one on the left and one on the right, stopped him.

“Second Young Master, what are you doing? Are you a sore loser?” Liu Mansheng snorted. “If you are a sore loser, then don’t gamble!”

His words were directed at Chu Pengfei, but his cold gaze landed on Crown Prince Yu, who was seated at the head of the table.

Crown Prince Yu’s face was stern.

Liu Mansheng snorted and suddenly yelled, “Someone! Second Young Master created a ruckus in the military tent! Drag him out and punish him with a 100 strokes of the bludgeon!”

“How dare you!” Zhen Guogong stepped forward.

Liu Mansheng stared at Crown Prince Yu. “Your Royal Highness, we agreed yesterday that if Lou Qianxue failed, you will hand over the military power to me. Since I have the power now, can’t I even punish a lowly-ranked soldier? Unless… Your Royal Highness is a man without his word and is going back on your promise?”

“Lou Qianxue has a high cultivation, and she has the help of an expert. I believe that even if she has failed, she will still return! However, since General Liu is so anxious, I suppose there is no harm in temporarily handing over the power to you!”

The commanders in the tent widened their eyes in shock. They looked at one another in disbelief. “Crown Prince still trusts that woman at this point?”

“What kind of bewitching spell did that woman cast on him?”

However…

“That’s right! I believe that Miss Lou will succeed as well! Also, hmph! Liu Mansheng, Miss Lou said three days and the time is not up yet, but you’re already so anxious to pressurize the Crown Prince… You’re so wicked!”

“Zhen Guogong believes in that woman so much, too?!”

Liu Mansheng’s face was cross, and he said in a displeased tone, “No matter what, the person who committed the mistake was the Crown Prince himself. Since Crown Prince is willing to admit to losing, then let’s go and announce the result to the 70,000 soldiers.”

As he finished, Liu Mansheng and his faction quickly walked out of the tent.

No one took this frail Crown Prince, who was bed-ridden for years, seriously.

In contrast, Zhen Guogong’s faction looked somber. Even their footsteps were lacking in energy…

As Zhen Guogong looked at Li Wen and Li Wu, who followed Liu Mansheng’s faction, he could not help but feel upset. “Hmph, initially, those two brothers appeared alright, but they are now following the usurpers and treating the Crown Prince this way… How despicable!”

Soon…

The 70,000 soldiers gathered at one.

All of Tian Zhao’s commanders stood in front of the army with grave expressions.

Zhen Guogong looked at Liu Mansheng’s smug face and felt his chest ache due to the anger.

Liu Mansheng glanced at Crown Prince Yu and let out a smug smile. He said with a loud voice, “To all commanders and soldiers of Tian Zhao! I believe that all of you have heard about the promise Crown Prince Yu’s assistant general Lou Qianxue made. She said she would destroy the Nandu Nation’s food supplies in three days… Last night, she took action!”

Oh my god!

“She took action? She really went there? What will she use to bypass the Nandu Nation’s million soldiers to reach the center of their camp? Her beauty?”

“Unbelievable…”

“Quiet!”

Liu Mansheng raised his hand. “However, it’s a pity that she failed!”

“It’s obviously impossible to achieve that. It would be a wonder if she had succeeded!”
