Chapter 1242 - Congratulating Him in Advance (1/2)

Murong Fu instantly reacted to her words, shouting loudly, “Devious woman, what kind of tricks did you play to attract the wolves over and bewitch everyone?”

Hearing those words, the men immediately regained their senses, but they were still afraid of the huge pack of wolves and also taken away by Jun Xiqing’s beauty.

When Jun Xiqing stopped blowing the flute, she was still sitting on the back of the wolf as she gave Murong Fu a condescending sneer. “General Murong, if you’re insistent of capturing me, I promise it’s going to be a catastrophe today. I must remind you that I’m just a nobody. Since your aim is to capture West Duke, why don’t we work together? You can capture the one you’ve always been after, then I can leave.”

Murong Fu sneered, his eyes glinted ambitiously. “Do you actually think… I’ll let a wolf whisperer away?”

A smirk appeared on Jun Xiqing’s face. “Seems like we don’t need to discuss any further.”

The atmosphere was stifling and tense.

In her heart, Jun Xiqing actually felt some uncertainty. Although wolves were one of the most ferocious animals, she still wasn’t that confident yet. She hadn’t trained them yet and hadn’t built a Wolf Iron Steed Troop yet. If they were to fight now, there was a high possibility that she wouldn’t be able to leave.

What should she do?

The cogs in her mind were going at a mile a second.

A deep magnetic voice resounded into her ears. “General Murong, you’re looking for me?”

Jun Xiqing was stunned, lifting her eyes to look, it was Lu Yeming!

Lu Yeming had come!

Striding over, Lu Yeming was clad in black and seemed to come out of the darkness. He was calm and collected, exuding a dignified aura.

When she saw him, Jun Xiqing’s pupils contracted. He hadn’t escaped? Why didn’t he leave?

She looked over, Lu Yeming was followed by an army. It was the Wuling Iron Steed Troop.

She instantly figured everything out.

So it wasn’t Murong Fu who set a trap today, it was Lu Yeming instead!

Murong Fu wasn’t slow-witted, he figured it out as well. “West Duke, you were playing along just to set another trap!”

The corners of Lu Yeming’s lips kicked up. “If I don’t do that, how am I going to lure you here and kill two birds with one stone. Why would I miss the opportunity to obtain the Red Spider Lily and General Murong?”

Jun Xiqing was awed. The more she was in contact with this man, the more she knew about him. He really was manipulative and shrewd. He had never stopped in his tracks, even once, on this political journey.

Those eyes of his were filled with ambition.

Murong Fu was stunned, he looked at Murong Ling, who was behind Lu Yeming. “Ling’er, how dare you help an outsider?”

Murong Ling looked at his father. “Father, please stop committing one mistake after another. West Duke has promised to not kill you.”

“You! You unfilial child!” Murong Fu berated him angrily before he sneered again in contempt, “West Duke, you’ve only brought a steed troop with you. I have an entire army of soldiers behind me, we don’t know who’s the winner yet.”

This was a restricted area in the Palace, Lu Yeming couldn’t bring an army of soldiers in, only the Wuling Iron Steed Troop could accompany him. Comparing the Wuling Iron Steed Troop to an army of soldiers, they were still at a disadvantage.

But Lu Yeming only raised his brows, his eyes on Jun Xiqing’s beautiful face. “Qingqing, I’m going to hand the Wuling Iron Steed Troop over to you. Are you capable of combining them with the wolves, making a Wolf Iron Steed Troop?”

Jun Xiqing smiled, letting out a chuckle. “West Duke, so it turns out I’m merely a pawn in your game.”

Ye Ruge wasn’t feeling unwell at all, he just chose not to take Ye Ruge with him. He had planned to bring her into the Palace for a long time.

He couldn’t bring an army into the Palace and only took the Wuling Iron Steed Troop with him. For the Wuling Iron Steed Troop to win the battle against Murong Fu’s army of soldiers, the crux was her.

After all, she had an ancient skill and was a wolf whisperer. Moreover, he was sure that she would take Sister Mo’er into account and offer her help.

This man was really manipulative.

“West Duke, if I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have saved you. I should have just let you die.”

The corners of Lu Yeming’s mouth raised even more, he couldn’t help but be reminded of… the kiss earlier. Those supple lips, her jelly-like tongue that moved around in his mouth, she clearly was inexperienced and shy.
