Volume 5, Chapter 6: Eve of the Decisive Battle

— Min of Chu</eroaned continuously as I read the entire contents of the intelligence report in my hand As for the Prince of Qi, as he read the report, he reefei’s ranking subordinates, one dead and one injured”

I could only feebly try to explain that these weren’t ent in Northern Han, Su Qing, was far more vicious and ruthless than mine In addition, the results were far better Not only was shi+ Ying frafei’s reputation had also been severely i Qiu Yufei’s interception of Su Qing’s escape back to Zezhou—even with the outstandingand her subordinates, and the timely arrival of reinforcements from Zezhou—, this plan would have been perfect

However, I guiltily realized that this wasn’t Su Qing’s fault, but rather h I did not kno he had suddenly advanced to the Xiantian</e had suffered such heavy losses Although the Devil Sect was Northern Han’s assistant, Jing Wuji could only serve as a deterrent With such stature, if he personally attacked the enemy or assassinated someone, the entirety of Northern Han would likely feel the country was on the verge of collapse¹ In addition, if Jing Wuji did not act, then the grandmasters on our side could only hold back as well As a result, unless it was a critical juncture, Jing Wuji would not take action In comparison, the threats posed by the disciples of the Devil Sect were far greater Who would have thought that Qiu Yufei’sto the Xiantian</e I only regretted for a moment, as I knew that Qiu Yufei could not be killed and had to be released for the plan Preparing to deal with the after for the army center After all, the ar’s real identity had been discovered, it would be quite appropriate for her to serve as an aide The wo sodiscovered This time, the methods she used to enter the lion’s den left ence reports, I ordered Huyan Shou to call Su Qing inside Having changed into a set of raceful as any woman, she was like a cold plum blossom in the depths of winter Her expression i, “Subordinate, Su Qing, pays her respects to the Marquis of Chu, the Army Supervisor daren Subordinate violated daren</e many of my comrades to be killed hed gently several tily white as snow

I gazed adly at this woman for a few o, she had stor azure Confucian robes and yet not hiding her womanly identity Her htforward and aboveboard Although she never revealed her true identity to anyone, in the short span of half a year, her reputation resounded Afterwards, she pledged her services to the Prince of Yong, voluntarily requesting a post in Northern Han as a spy In a few years, she had becoardless of ability or loyalty, she was second to none within Great Yong’s entire intelligence network This tireat service, she still did not express any hint of delight and instead concerned about disobeying orders As expected, the E wasn’t as calh Jiang daren’s words and expressions were cultured and courteous, as the head agent of Great Yong’s intelligence network in Northern Han, she naturally knew quite a lot of inside infor court She ell aware of this le to coincidentally fall in love with her, she would never have dared to alter the plan without permission However, after the plan had succeeded, she actually becaence and wisdo out of control Her actions had likely violated this e Just the loss of half of her elite subordinates by Qiu Yufei would be enough to find her guilty

I would never have thought that she had such a mindset As far as I was concerned, it onderful news that matic and adaptable to the situation However, since soe the plan, that personto accept all the consequences and the aftermath If the plan happened to be unsuccessful, they would have to be severely punished If successful, then they deserved to be rewarded Since the gains frohed the losses, I would naturally reward her Sighing softly, I said, “This isn’t your responsibility Although you changed the plan without perreater than my expectations In addition, you have also sacrificed much How can this Marquis blame you? As for Qiu Yufei’s pursuit, it was unexpected Ultihed the losses this time There is no need to excessively blame yourself Have you taken the ratitude flickered across Su Qing’s eyes, as she answered, “Subordinate greatly thanks me The medicine was quite efficacious”

Xiaoshunzi interjected, “Head Agent Su, once you have recovered, I want to fight you so that I can see howcandidly replied, “Subordinate only lasted a hundred exchanges with Qiu Yufei before being defeated and wounded Subordinate is incoive uessed that Qiu Yufei had reached the Xiantian realm, I had beco could withstand a hundred exchanges with an expert of the Xiantian realm, her martial arts were definitely not ordinary She was truly a hero ale and alone was truly a pity Although I pondered whether it would be possible to help arrange a hts to prevent her froent Su, Northern Han should be coht now In addition, since war is imminent, there is no need for you to return When our army invades Northern Han, you only need to accompany the arents in Northern Han and be responsible for gathering intelligence Our army’s scouts will also be under your supervision Are you willing to take up these responsibilities?”

Su Qing was overjoyed Being placed in such an important position had completely exceeded all of her expectations She proround and replied, “Many thanks to daren for your deep affection Subordinate will be sure to do her uth of relief and said to Xiaoshunzi, “All the preparations are nearly complete We are on the eve of the decisive battle Go invite the Prince of Qi and Generals Xuan and Jing over We need to discuss the invasion of Northern Han In addition, when is Chiji arriving? Have the reports arrived about Hanzhong and Southern Chu?”

Xiaoshunzi responded, “On young anize the intelligence network there He discovered that the reason e had no infor hid them quite well It was also unsuitable for the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets to meddle excessively Chiji has already yi Sect Presuain In addition, Supervisor Han has not shown any disloyalty over what is happening in Hanzhong As a result, Chiji has already rushed back to Zezhou I esti Que has already arrived in Hanzhong Chen Zhen was grateful for young race He also does not trust in the pro In addition, he is not like Han Wuji He doesn’t have do is already stabilized Right now, an agree I believe they will very quickly be able to enter the core of the Prince of Qing’s force However, if the Prince of Qing h ti’s vital points”

I placidly spoke, “There is no need to worry about this Xiahou Yuanfeng is not to be trifled with He has already begun to act against the Prince of Qing Have Dong Que get in touch with hi relies upon suffer, the more likely he will rely upon the E wishes to , si to appear personally Huo Jicheng will only appear when the Prince of Qing has raised his flag in rebellion In any case, the Prince of Qing should know that he would not be codom of Shu”

Xiaoshunzi chuckled “Not only is Xiahou Yuanfeng not to be trifled with, even the Emperor is like that The letter that he had shi+ daren write practically wanted you to come up with a plan”

I smiled wryly and replied, “I wonder if it’s possible that I owed those two brothers in ence and yet those two brothers are easily able to see throughfroh you, he would not always be forced to yield How many monarchs in the world are like the E as you don’t reveal it, the Emperor won’t ask it This kind of trust makes even e strides His eyes twinkling, he continued, “Suiyun, you see How about it? Do you want le is quite virtuous and won’t blahness, do not talk nonsense If Miss Su were to hear this, wouldn’t she be downhearted? She is not a lustful individual”

Having been rebuked by ood intentions To this day, Su Qing is single This Prince cannot stand idly by and watch such a wo ability, if it isn’t someone like you, ould bear with her?”

I coldly reproached, “I’ht as well ask Changle to report this to the Ehness’s consort How about it?”

Frightened, Li Xian flapped, “Don’t, don’t I’ I dare not offend her Further, she has a rank equivalent to a third-rated general We shouldn’t be using her to joke”

I glared at hi? However, I asked questioningly, “I was just about to have Xiaoshunzi send so Chi, but Your I coly answered, “It isn’t anything, only that I want to discuss our advance”

Shts How about we start discussing once the two generals have arrived? However, Your Ihness will have to handle this matter I can only listen in”

“Before I came, I had sent people to invite them over,” replied the Prince of Qi “They will arrive fairly soon”

Just then, a bodyguard on duty outside reported, “Generals Jing and Xuan request an audience” The Prince of Qi and I exchanged se-scale invasion of Northern Han was i’s destiny was about to begin If ere able to resolve this war in the shortest time possible, then no one in the world would be able to stop Great Yong’s ht in a prolonged quag will be assailed fro battle was extremely important

In Southern Chu, Lu Can indignantly hurled the royal edict to the ground He had already ’s invasion of Northern Han He would hand over the defenses of Sichuan to his subordinates, while he personally would lead an ar This was Southern Chu’s only chance to seize the world If this opportunity were missed, Southern Chu would at tze River without Northern Han’s elite cavalry pinning down Great Yong’s troops However, Great Yong’s envoy, Gou Lian, had used hefty bribes and threats to easily inti at the royal edict blocking hi forth, Lu Can felt his entire body become powerless

Suddenly, someone came to report, “General, the Head of the North Star Hall requests an audience”
