Chapter 200 is so handsome it's captured her heart.
Cangyun Valley.
The moonlight was hazy, and the valley was completely silent.
Only the occasional chirping of insects and birds, and the babbling of a stream, broke the tranquility of this place.
Zhai Sangjie led his army and quietly advanced through the valley.
Pang Zhong cautiously approached Zhai Sangjie and said, "General, the entrance to Cangyun Valley has been destroyed as you ordered."
He glanced at the entrance where rubble had rolled down, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Gunpowder is precious and was originally intended to save lives in critical moments.
Now, before we've even seen the enemy, they've already used everything to block the roads.
The general's move was far too audacious.
After much deliberation, Pang Zhong still asked, "Nan Sang must have set up an ambush in Cangyun Valley. If the general cuts off his own retreat and is unable to defeat them, what should we do?"
Zhai Sangjie looked up at the sky.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, and there wasn't a single star in sight.
He withdrew his gaze, his tone firm and unwavering, "Nansang wants to coordinate with Black Wind Stronghold to attack us from both sides. The only way to survive is to block Black Wind Stronghold's path."
My sister's reinforcements haven't arrived yet. If we get surrounded now, we'll have no chance of winning.
Pang Zhong suddenly realized, "That's why the general ordered us to set off under cover of darkness and destroyed the route we came from... The purpose was to catch Black Wind Stronghold off guard!"
He glanced at the entrance, which was piled with rubble, and nodded to himself.
A general is indeed a general.
When dawn broke, the Black Wind Stronghold members discovered that the camp was deserted. By the time they realized something was wrong and rushed to their aid, it would be too late! Even if they did catch up, the obstacles at the crossroads would keep them occupied for quite some time.
By the time they finished dealing with the intersection, they were already exhausted.
By the time Black Wind Stronghold and Nan Sang can coordinate their attack from within, Guan Lingcheng's troops will likely have already arrived.
When it comes down to a head-on clash, the outcome is still uncertain!
Pang Zhong couldn't help but clap his hands.
As expected, the general's thinking was thorough!
The loud slap echoed clearly in the quiet valley. Zhai Sangjie frowned at him, stuck out his tongue, and whispered, "So, General, are we going to confront Nan Sang head-on?"
Zhai Sangjie nodded.
"If we win, we can take the route through Haimu City and go straight to Guanling City, and then down to the Longyan Kingdom."
With Cangyun Valley's retreat route cut off, what is there to fear?
Pang Zhong secretly praised the idea, but still had doubts: "If the Regent fails to take Haimu City, won't we become fish on a chopping board again, at the mercy of others?"
At that time, whether it's the troops that Nan Sang has ambushed here or the reinforcements from Hai Mu City, they will be in for a lot of trouble.
“I trust the Regent,” Zhai Sangjie said.
He listened intently to the sounds coming from the bushes, his expression serious.
That person will definitely be able to take over Haimu City.
The grass rustled.
Zhai Sangjie waved his hand to signal the army to stop. The soldiers immediately fell silent and, as agreed beforehand, squatted down and raised their thick shields in front of them.
Sure enough, a rapid hoofbeat broke the silence, followed by a barrage of arrows raining down from all directions. The arrows struck the shields and were all deflected, resulting in no casualties.
As soon as the rain of arrows stopped, Zhai Sangjie drew his sword and shouted, "Kill—"
The Longyan soldiers removed their shields, drew their longswords, and charged with overwhelming force toward the Nansang troops who were burning torches in the distance.
The quiet, vibrant valley was quickly drowned out by the sounds of fighting.
The soldiers' blood flowed into the stream, and under the moonlight, it was indistinguishable from the water.
Zhai Sangjie's swordsmanship was fierce, and he moved like a ghost under the moonlight, accurately taking down one Nan Sang soldier after another, and soon he reached his commander.
"Princess, be careful!" Wu Muli, carrying Helian Tanyao, leaped onto a pile of rocks some distance away.
His expression cracked.
These Dragon Flame soldiers were actually prepared!
So many arrows were fired in vain!
And then there's Black Wind Stronghold. They were supposed to attack from both sides, but we didn't even see a single person!
What is Lou Yu good for?!
Bandits and outlaws of the martial world are truly untrustworthy!
Helian Tanyao, dressed in red with her long black hair neatly tied back and adorned with a circle of Nansang beads on her forehead, and a soft whip wrapped around her waist, was looking at Zhai Sangjie's handsome face under the moonlight with great interest.
This man... he's so handsome he's captured her heart.
He is brave, resourceful, and agile.
Not only did they guess that she would set up an ambush in Cangyun Valley, but they also countered so brilliantly.
Seeing her infatuated expression, Wu Muli's face suddenly darkened.
He looked at Zhai Sangjie, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Princess, that man killed many of our soldiers," Wu Muli said in a harsh tone.
Their troops suffered repeated defeats, but Helian Tanyao seemed completely unconcerned.
She snorted and said, "So what? Trash deserves to die."
"Besides, don't I still have you?" She turned her head and glanced at Wu Muli.
Wu Muli's expression improved slightly.
"It is Li's good fortune to have the princess's trust." He placed one hand on his chest, bowed slightly, and performed the Nansang curtsy.
Helian Tanyao pouted her red lips.
"Alright, this princess doesn't want to see them fighting and killing anymore."
What if she hurts the man she's set her sights on?
Wu Muli smiled slightly, took out the bamboo flute hanging from his waist, and gently played it under the moonlight.
The melodious music, carrying with it a piercing, excruciating pain, lingered in the valley.
Everyone stopped attacking, clutching their heads and wailing in pain.
Zhai Sangjie stuck the knife into the ground, shook his head, and while he was still lucid, immediately pressed his acupoints until he could no longer hear the sounds outside, and then slowly recovered.
He straightened up and looked at Wu Muli and Helian Tanyao not far away. The latter was looking at him with great interest, making no attempt to hide the admiration in her eyes.
This is the Princess Nansang that my little sister was talking about.
The culprit who caused his death far from home.
A sudden wave of disgust rose in Zhai Sangjie's heart, and he frowned and looked away.
Seeing that Wu Muli had put away the flute, he then released his pressure points.
Helian Tanyao noticed the disgust in Zhai Sangjie's gaze, and somewhat annoyed, she drew her soft whip from her waist and struck a rock with it. The crisp and loud cracking sound echoed through the valley.
"Hey! You must be Zhai Sangjie?"
Her voice immediately revealed her arrogance and domineering nature; even a simple question carried an interrogative tone.
“Exactly,” Zhai Sangjie said.
He said this not to appease her, but because he was afraid of implicating the other soldiers.
He Lian Tan Yao's affection for him deepened upon hearing his voice.
She raised her long whip, pointing it directly at Zhai Sangjie, her face filled with an arrogant confidence, "This princess has taken a liking to you."
"If you agree to become my husband, I will immediately withdraw my troops and release you."
Wu Muli's face turned pale instantly, "Princess!"
Helian Tanyao did not look at him.
Wu Muli gripped the bamboo flute in his hand tightly, then glared at Zhai Sangjie with eyes full of hatred.
"Xiao Gu, are you alright?" Gu Xiruo, who was hiding in the back, swayed slightly, and Pang Zhong quickly caught her.
He was both gossipy and worried.
Princess Nansang probably doesn't know that their general is a homosexual!
