You Broke Off the Engagement with This Prince—So Why Are You Crying?

Qin Qingxue had ambitions higher than the sky. She used Li Ye to become the first female general of the Great Yuan Empire.

After returning triumphantly, she didn’t hesitate for a second before...

Chapter 36 Return to the Capital

The news soon reached Qin Qingxue's ears.

"Impossible, the soldiers you brought with you are all old, weak and disabled, only about a thousand men.

How could we possibly defeat the bandits on Vulture Mountain?

Who is spreading false information?"

Qin Qingxue felt very incredible.

How many days has the army been marching?

Even if the stronghold did not have the terrain advantage, it would be impossible to defeat it in such a short time.

Shi Wushuang was dressed in a robe, looking like a handsome young man.

I was also very surprised.

"I know the terrain of Vulture Mountain. It's extremely dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

In addition, the bandits on Vulture Mountain are all descendants of the remaining troops of the previous dynasty.

The ferocity of the battle is comparable to that of an elite army.

Let alone an army of 1,000, even 10,000 might not be able to win."

"Humph, maybe Ye just wanted to take credit and deliberately killed an innocent person to take credit." Qin Qingxue said with a sneer.

Ever since I broke up with Ye.

Qin Qingxue was extremely unlucky in everything she did.

Especially life at home suddenly became extremely difficult.

It has reached the point where the income is not enough to cover the expenses.

Qin Qingxue was also very worried. She owed Shi Wushuang so much money. When would she be able to pay it back?

I hate Ye even more.

"But according to rumors, Vulture Mountain has been destroyed.

There is no such thing as killing innocent people and taking credit for it.

This matter cannot deceive the emperor at all."

There is no one like him in the world.

"Maybe the rumors are too exaggerated. When he comes back, he might say that he won a victory and killed many bandits."

"I see! If he really does that, it will be much easier to deal with this prince."

Qin Qingxue's eyes lit up, and she had vaguely guessed Shi Wushuang's method: "You mean..."

"It was simple. The prince claimed to have defeated the bandits in Vulture Mountain in a short time.

We just need to expose his lies.

The prince would immediately become a laughing stock.

The emperor would be extremely disgusted with him and even punish him.

A prince who has fallen out of favor is much easier to deal with."

"Good idea! Let's wait until the army returns and see what he has to say. Then we can investigate carefully and expose his lies."

There was a hint of coldness in Shi Wushuang's eyes, and his face was filled with endless murderous intent.

He was not facing Qin Qingxue, and it was night.

Qin Qingxue didn't notice Shi Wushuang's expression.

I never dreamed that Shi Wushuang, who was known for his jade-like appearance, would have such a terrifying expression.

"Qingxue, I think this is a good opportunity for you!"

"What good opportunity?" Qin Qingxue was confused and looked at Shi Wushuang curiously.

"His Royal Highness Prince Yu did not completely clear out Vulture Mountain and even suffered a defeat.

Once this matter is exposed, the royal family will definitely lose all face.

At this time, you took the initiative to volunteer to attack Vulture Mountain.

This is a great opportunity to make a contribution.”

There is no one like him in the world.

Qin Qingxue hesitated for ten seconds after hearing this: "That's true, but the imperial court has sent troops to attack many times, but they all returned in defeat.

I don't know how to attack such a dangerous place.

There's no guarantee of victory at all!"

Shi Wushuang put his hands behind his back and said proudly, "Don't underestimate the strength of Yunlu Pavilion.

I can summon a large number of Yunlu Pavilion disciples to help you.

It was not difficult to capture Vulture Mountain.

And didn’t you notice one thing?”

Qin Qingxue didn't expect Shi Wushuang to support her so much, and she was very happy.

Yunlu Pavilion is known as the best sect in the world.

With their support, we will surely be victorious.

But the following words made Qin Qingxue puzzled: "What did you notice?"

A look of disgust flashed across Shi Wushuang's face: "This time you led the army to defeat the barbarians, and the reward the emperor gave you is really too little.

Although the emperor has never mentioned this matter, I believe that your affair with the prince must have displeased the emperor.

When awarding the reward, he said that the barbarian army had only been defeated but not annihilated.

Maybe it's just a reason!

And now even your military power has been stripped away, which further confirms my suspicions."

Shi Wushuang didn't expect that Qin Qingxue's mind was so simple. She didn't even notice such obvious suppression and had to remind him personally.

Shi Wushuang was very disgusted with such a stupid woman.

How dare you look down on the prince of the current dynasty?

Qin Qingxue was puzzled and asked, "Didn't His Majesty tell me to research ways to defeat the barbarians?

The next time we send troops, we will definitely be able to defeat the barbarians!"

Shi Wushuang was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

The more I learn about her, the more I feel she is a stupid woman.

But such women are easier to control.

He suppressed the rage in his heart and forced a smile on his face: "After this great battle, the barbarians suffered heavy losses. They will definitely not dare to attack Dayuan again in the short term.

If we can wipe out the bandits and gain military merit again, wouldn't we be able to gain greater military power?"

"That's right! You've been so kind to me. After exposing the prince's lies, I immediately asked His Majesty to lead the troops to suppress the bandits."

"That's right, you are the first female general of the Dayuan Dynasty, how can you just sit at home doing nothing?

Not only me, but also Yunlu Pavilion, will fully support you as the commander-in-chief of the three armies.

Take control of all the armies of the Dayuan Dynasty."

Qin Qingxue was very excited and imagined a bright future.

He is even more devoted to Shi Wushuang.

Three days later, Ye led his army back.

After returning to the capital, the people and troops on Vulture Mountain dispersed.

And stationed outside the city.

Just lead the army into the city.

Many people from the capital came to watch.

Seeing so many bandits, the people were extremely shocked.

Originally, many people suspected that Ye was spreading false military intelligence and that it was impossible to defeat the bandits.

But when he saw the bandit army of more than 10,000 people, the scene was so shocking that he had to believe it.

But then he saw that the imperial army had suffered almost no damage.

The armor on his body was also clean and did not look like he had been in battle.

It has confused many people again.

"This isn't right. How was this war fought? Is there ever a war without casualties?

How come the returning troops are not damaged at all?"

"There are so many bandits in Vulture Mountain, and they look very fierce. How did they win?"

"This battle was fought in a strange way, as if they had discussed it in advance and just surrendered directly."

"Something's wrong. There must be something else going on here! I absolutely don't believe that Vulture Mountain was conquered by Prince Yu."

When Ye returned to the capital, not many people cheered.

You can even hear the people talking while riding in front.

Xiao Cui was very angry.

After winning such a great victory, not only was there no welcome, but people even suspected it was a fraud.

"These civilians are truly despicable. They actually hope the army suffers casualties. Don't they know what it means to conquer the enemy without fighting?"

"They who dare to doubt your Highness's achievements will never be forgiven."

Ye smiled and persuaded him: "Don't be angry, the people's reaction is better this way.

Even though what they said was unpleasant to hear, it actually made me more interested.”
