Chapter 203: Sending Troops To Nan Jiang (1/2)

Translator: Madesmoiselle V.

“Please forgive me for arriving so late, Your Majesty!” A familiar sound rang. Murong Xue regained her consciousness and raised her head. It was general Zhang, clad in armor with a long sword bore on his waist, kneeling before the emperor, followed by hundreds of soldiers from the military camp.

General Zhang, in charge of the troops, didn’t come to the summer retreat with the emperor, but his troops were not far from here. Probably he had noticed something wrong, and commanded the armies to come as soon as possible. It was beyond his expectation that he was still late.

The emperor in his imperial robe stood uprightly with his hands clasped behind his back. His crown was tainted with a layer of dust, which couldn't undermine his majesty and relentlessness. His face turned breathtakingly grim as he caught a glimpse of the bumpy and messy square with his bright eyes. “General Zhang, I command you to lead 300,000 soldiers and occupy Nan Jiang!”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” General Zhang lowered his voice after regaining consciousness from the shock.

Murong Xue winked. Occupy Nan Jiang? The emperor seemed to abominate Nan Jiang really much!

As the sovereign emperor, he had the ultimate power over life and death within Qing Yan Kingdom, while the youngest legitimate son of the prime minister of Nan Jiang, dared to plot against and appoint his pawns to attack him secretly. The emperor was thrown into panic and almost lost his life.

It was reasonable that he was infuriated and intended to destroy Nan Jiang for his majesty had been challenged.

“It is not that easy. They have a lot of those weird wooden snakes as weapons. So we have to ask Miss Murong to help manufacture some for our soldiers to enhance their fighting capacity,” A gentle voice rang. It was Qin Yuyan, who approached them slowly on a bamboo chair carried by her servants.

Being seriously injured, she couldn’t attend the feast, so she stayed in the yard. She dodged a bullet, while Murong Xue pushed herself forward in the battle. She had witnessed the whole combat in the yard, which made her astonished at Murong’s intelligence and fighting capacity.

With the help of Ouyang Shaochen and the other warriors, she had killed all the enemies, and saved the emperor, the empress, the civil and military ministers as well as their family members, which made her famous for her intelligence and rich knowledge. Damn!

Since she was a talented wooden snake controller, why not ask her to manufacture hundreds of them and exhaust her to death!

Everyone present fixed their eyes on Murong Xue. It had been well known that the wooden snake could not only soar in the air, but also be filled with triggers. Its novelty and breathtakingly powerful fighting capacity impressed all the audiences. If the soldiers of Qing Yan Kingdom could handle the wooden snakes, their capacity might must be doubled, which would be totally enough to tread down Nan Jiang.

“Sorry, I can’t!” Murong Xue stared back at Qin Yuyan and said softly.

Everybody was stunned as they turned to look at each other blankly. She did assembled the eight-tailed wooden snake just then. Why did she lie?

Qin Yuyan sneered at her. “Murong Xue, everybody here had witnessed you making that eight-tailed wooden snake.”

She should have found a better excuse. It was foolish to make a denial since her behavior had been witnessed by everyone.

“I only reassembled the eight-tailed wooden snake, I didn’t invent it!” Murong Xue stared back at Qin Yuyan from a commanding position.

“What’s the difference?” Qin Yuyan snorted.
