Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jing Yi’s ferocious killing move stunned the soldiers on the city wall. Everyone was frozen after drawing them halfway.
Su Xiaoxiao still had a calm expression as she said word by word, “I’ll say it one last time. Ask Leng Kui to come over.”
In the end, Leng Kui came.
It was not that he was afraid of Su Xiaoxiao. He was just here to see what this so-called rebel army was about.
When he ascended the city tower and saw his subordinate nailed to the wall, his eyes turned cold.
He turned around and looked at the black mass of 10,000 troops in the open space. This army was holding the flag of the Great Zhou, led by the little girl in armor.
Su Xiaoxiao wasn’t wearing a helmet, revealing her original appearance.
However, Leng Kui had never seen Su Xiaoxiao, so he naturally did not recognize her. He had seen Jing Yi before, but it had been a few years. Ever since the battle at Broken North Pass five years ago, he had never returned to the capital.
Jing Yi had changed too much from a child to a murderous young man. He didn’t recognize him immediately.
Leng Kui’s cold gaze landed on Su Xiaoxiao’s face. “Are you the girl who pretended to be Qin Canglan’s granddaughter at the border and recruited soldiers everywhere?”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him indifferently. “I’m Qin Canglan’s granddaughter.”
Leng Kui said coldly, “Nonsense! Why would Qin Canglan’s granddaughter come to the border and even bring a group of men to cause trouble?”
Su Xiaoxiao said mockingly, “What a good way to rebel. I don’t know if you know how to lead troops to war, but your ability to slander others is first-rate.” The deputy general at the side shouted, “Don’t insult our great general!”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him coldly. “If you say another word, you’ll be the next person to be nailed!”
The deputy general’s scalp went numb.
Leng Kui narrowed his eyes dangerously. “How dare a mere 10,000 troop come to the barbican to cause trouble? With a great enemy in front of me, I don’t want to waste mv troops on vou scattered soldiers. If vou know what’s good for
you, leave quickly. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him arrogantly. “The last person who said that is already dead. That’s right, I mean Dou Xiao.”
Leng Kui was furious. “As expected, you killed Dou Xiao!”
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “Open the city gate!” Leng Kui raised his hand. “Archers, get ready!”
“Leng Kui, that’s enough!”
A furious and hoarse voice suddenly came from behind the army, followed by a violent cough right on the heels of that.
Leng Kui frowned.
In the next second, the army spread out to the sides and automatically made way.
At this moment, Leng Kui realized that there was actually an inconspicuous carriage behind the army.
His intuition told him that the person in the carriage was not simple.
The carriage stopped beside Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao never got off the horse. She sat on the horse and said helplessly, “Your Highness, as you can see, Leng Kui refuses to open the city gate.”
Your Highness?
Leng Kui was shocked.
The coachman curtained Xiao Duye. Xiao Duye covered his mouth with a handkerchief and walked out coughing.
The cold wind outside made him shiver.
He had already caught a cold and had been in a daze for a few days. He only felt a little better this morning. What if he caught a cold and his condition worsened?
Damn Leng Kui!
He glared fiercely at Leng Kui. “Leng Kui! Open the city gate for me!”
Leng Kui never expected to see the Eldest Prince here. No, it was King Liang now.
He was dumbfounded. “Your Highness… how did you…
Xiao Duye said impatiently, “Have you said enough? Open the city gate quickly!
Do you want to freeze me to death!”
Leng Kui did not dare to refuse opening the city gate for the Liang King. He personally went down the city tower and instructed the guards to turn the winch to open the closed city gate.
He quickly came out to welcome him and knelt on one knee in front of the carriage. “Greetings, King Liang!”
Wuhu flew to Jia County to send news to Fu Su and asked him to send King Liang over.
Su Xiaoxiao wanted to snatch Leng Kui’s troops for her use. From the beginning, she had no intention of fighting with Leng Kui’s 50,000-strong army. At this moment, Xiao Duye, this tool, came in handy.
Leng Kui said to Xiao Duye, “Your Highness, you can enter the city, but with all due respect, this renegade killed our border general, snatched the border soldiers, and formed her own rebel army. She really has ulterior motives. We have to be wary!”
Su Xiaoxiao said righteously, “Leng Kui, who was the one who didn’t do anything and let the Northern people break through the Broken North Pass? Jia County was occupied by the Northern Yan army, but you ignored it and let the people of Jia County fend for themselves. It wasn’t easy for me to subdue the enemy, but I was obstructed by your subordinates. If I don’t kill them, how can
I rush to Jia County to save His Highness Liang!”
Leng Kui’s expression changed. “Your Highness was in Jia County?
County Magistrate Yuan told Xiao Duye about being surrounded by the Northern Yan army, including the reason for letting him stay in the cellar.
County Magistrate Yuan also explained that the cellar was the safest.
They had also been staying in the cellar. The situation outside was not up to County Magistrate Yuan to make up.
However, Su Xiaoxiao was not lying about the trajectory of the battle. She had indeed come from Yao City and fought her way to Jia County to fight with the Northern Yan army.
Even Leng Kui could not distort this fact.
“So she’s really… Qin Canglan’s granddaughter?” Leng Kui already had the answer in his heart. No wonder so many soldiers had joined her.
He cupped his hands and said, “Your Highness, I didn’t know that you were in Jia County. If I had known, I would definitely have led troops to save you!”
Su Xiaoxiao sneered. “General, do you mean that His Highness’s life is his life and the lives of the people of Jia County are not? His Highness loves the people like his children. If you think you can deceive His Highness with such excuses, you’re underestimating His Highness too much!”
Xiao Duye had no choice but to put on this high hat.
He coughed lightly and said seriously, “Alright, they’re all soldiers who risked their lives for me. They shall enter the city with me!”
Leng Kui frowned. He did not want to let this group of people in. He felt that nothing good would happen if they came in. However, he was in the wrong when it came to the matter of Jia County and King Liang’s attitude was so firm. He could only let the Crimson Shadow Army go.
The Crimson Shadow Army successfully entered the barbican without expending a single soldier.
Xiao Duye did not dare to stay in the government office anymore. He wanted to stay in the military camp, even if the conditions were a little harsh. Hence, Leng Kui gave up his tent.
Su Xiaoxiao also entered the tent and said to Leng Kui, who was following beside Xiao Duye, “Ah, can I trouble General Leng to open the southern city gate? My grandfather and eldest cousin are chasing after the fleeing Northern Yan army outside the southern city gate. They should be almost done. It’s so late. We can’t let them rush back to Zi Town overnight in the snow, right? Can we borrow the barbican?”
He was afraid that some people would stay and not leave… Leng Kui looked at Su Xiaoxiao deeply and reluctantly got someone to open the south city gate..
