After warning Ji Zhao at the banquet, the First Leader didn't dare to waste a single second and rushed to Shixi Tower. Sure enough, he saw his men confronting a group of masked men in black in the woods outside the tower.

Both sides were evenly matched, and both suffered casualties, resulting in a stalemate. The opposing side, attempting to force a fight, shouted from a distance, "I heard you're all soldiers trained by Huo Shaoying. How did that woman train you? Was it in bed? Hahahaha—"

The laughter abruptly stopped halfway through. The man frantically touched his neck, his palm immediately soaked with warm blood.

"Uh...cough..." He stared wide-eyed and turned around with difficulty.

A woman with a beautiful yet heroic face appeared behind him like a ghost, holding a silver sword in her hand, from which blood was dripping.

"You...it's you..."

He opened his mouth, uttered a few words with distorted intonation, and then fell straight to the ground.

The first leader, his face contorted with anger, said in a deep voice:

"Brothers, kill!"

Amidst the flashing blades, one after another, the men in black were harvested like wheat. Realizing their defeat was inevitable, they fled in panic, not even bothering to pick up their weapons.

However, the first leader was already in a bloodthirsty frenzy and had no intention of letting them go. She leaped into the air and killed them one by one with her sword, as easily as cutting melons and vegetables. Soon, the men in black were all wiped out.

Seeing this, her adjutant behind her secretly wiped away a cold sweat. He swallowed hard and tiptoed forward. "Chief, this... not a single one was left alive. How... how are we going to interrogate them?"

The first leader glanced at him sideways and snorted coldly.

"I don't care who sent him! Anyone who dares to insult me ​​will die!"

The adjutant's lips twitched slightly upon hearing this, a helpless thought running through his mind: Fine, fine, whatever it is, once Huo Shaoying is involved, his boss is utterly unreasonable...

But once the person is killed, there's no way to bring them back to life. Saying anything more is useless. Sigh—

He chuckled awkwardly and echoed, "Yes, yes, yes, Military Advisor Huo is a meritorious general of our army, how can he be so easily insulted! Even death would be too good for them!"

"Back then, Shao Ying was not only a hero, but also my mentor and friend..." The first leader smiled smugly, then remembered something and couldn't help but feel guilty—Shao ​​Ying had said many times that he had a fiery temper and was too impulsive and reckless. In the future, no matter what happened, he must think twice before acting and never be rash.

But she couldn't control herself. As soon as she heard that person insulting Shao Ying, she instantly lost her mind and just wanted to kill all those foul-mouthed bastards!

Oh dear, what if Shao Ying gets angry with me?

What if she ignores me for several days?

The first leader, with a mournful face, squatted down in frustration, frowning as he began to bite his nails.

Seeing her like this, the adjutant silently rolled his eyes: Here we go again. The leader is always like this. Every time he promises the strategist, he forgets what she said as soon as he gets carried away, and then he starts agonizing and biting his nails... Where is the demeanor of a leader! It's unbearable to watch!

The first leader entered Shixi Tower with a heart full of trepidation. When the guards saw that it was indeed their leader, they were so excited that they almost burst into tears. They sniffed hard and went forward to greet him.

The First Leader glanced at him disdainfully, his gaze quickly sweeping around the hall, automatically ignoring Qi Maojin, who was clinging to the railing, looking on with longing eyes.

Where is your strategist?

The guard was about to explain everything that had happened that night to her when he heard her words and choked up, pointing upstairs.

The first leader nodded and strode upstairs, quickly tidying his hair and armor as he went. After a moment's thought, he deliberately left the few drops of blood on his face untouched.

Hehe, I look even more handsome like this! When Shao Ying sees me, she'll definitely—

Well? ? ? ? ?

She stared in shock at the two people embracing at the bottom of the stairs.

In an instant, the First Leader felt as if all the lightning in the world had struck him on the head at the same time.

Her face quickly turned bright red, her eyes widened, her brows furrowed, and even her hair trembled.

Who is this strange woman?! Why have I never seen her before?! Why is she holding Shao Ying?!

Aaaaaaah, I'm going to kill her!!!

The first leader took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and roared—

"What are you doing!"

Upon seeing Nan Xian's face, the First Leader became even angrier!

Shao Ying clearly said she liked his handsome and strong appearance, but this woman, this woman... why is she so beautiful?!

Huo Shaoying saw her expression and immediately understood her inner thoughts, which made her both amused and exasperated.

Then, seeing her charging angrily forward, sword still clutched in her hand, his heart skipped a beat, and his expression changed drastically—

Oh no, this idiot! She's not going to hurt Nan Xian, is she?!

In an instant, Huo Shaoying even imagined the scene where Nan Xian slapped her so hard she was thrown into the wall and couldn't be pried off.

"stop--"

However, it was too late. The first leader had already rushed to Nan Xian in a few strides. She was blinded by jealousy, her mind filled with "Waaaaah, Shao Ying is going to abandon me!" and "Aaaaah, I'm going to kill this woman!" She bared her teeth and glared angrily at Nan Xian, blurting out a nonsensical sentence—

"Let's fight!"

Nan Xian: ......Huh? ? ?
