"Your young master agreed?"
Looking at Feng Qin's constipated face, Cen Xi was in a great mood. Shen Jinchen wouldn't let her participate in the battle, and the person who bullied him was having a great time.
"The young master said I can't stop you, he can only let you go, but I must keep in touch with him at all times. If there is any danger, you must stop."
Feng Qin answered listlessly and weakly, but he endured it for the sake of the bonus.
"That's good, but where are my men?"
"They're all outside; they're waiting for you to give them a lecture."
Feng Qin spoke in a languid tone, as if she had lost all will to live.
Cen Xi smiled and ignored him. She went straight out to meet her soldiers.
The moment I saw her that day, I was reminded of the scene on Feifeng Mountain where this female demon kicked their leader off a cliff.
Immediately, everyone shrank their necks and their legs trembled slightly.
"Now you're scared? After Bai Ze's accident, why didn't any of you tell me?"
Cen Xi knew these people would cower in fear whenever they saw her, but she hadn't expected them to be this cowardly. If she had had no other choice, she would never have kept these people to work for her.
“We…, we…”
Cen Xi's captivating smile left these people speechless with fright.
"What do you mean 'you' and 'us'? If we hadn't posted the notice, we probably wouldn't have been able to find you anymore. Have you forgotten that I, the princess, even exist? Have you forgotten who your master is?"
Cen Xi's eyes suddenly sharpened, and she erupted in anger.
"We dare not! Please punish us, Your Highness!"
Her shout startled everyone so much that they all knelt down.
"Fine, I'll trust you one more time and give you a chance to redeem yourselves. If you handle this matter well, I won't hold you accountable for your past mistakes. If you don't, you'll suffer the same fate as your former bosses."
"Furthermore, you should still remember the two people the Wen family sent from Shangyang City, so don't even think about betraying me. As long as I have a breath left, you can only obey my orders."
Cen Xi looked languid and spoke casually, but the people below all turned pale and dared not disobey him in the slightest.
After a moment of silence, they braced themselves and pledged their loyalty:
"Your subordinates will do their utmost."
"Very good. Tonight I only need five hundred men. Those who have trained at Flying Phoenix Mountain, step forward!"
"yes!"
Seeing that Cen Xi wasn't going to settle scores with them, they stepped forward faster than if they were running away.
"There are quite a few people, exactly five hundred. Actually, this princess only needs one hundred. Anyone who thinks they are good at martial arts and quick-witted, please step forward!"
Cen Xi nodded in satisfaction and proceeded with further screening, but after she said the following, the five hundred people were at a loss for what to do.
They wanted to say they were quick-witted, but they were afraid that if they admitted it and failed to handle her affairs properly, it would be adding insult to injury, so they didn't dare to step forward.
"Why don't you have that confidence?"
"I'll count to five. If no one steps forward, they'll all be physically punished!"
Cen Xi snorted and announced her next decision.
"one!"
"two!"
As soon as Cen Xi called out "two," a hundred people stood up.
He glanced at the hundred people, and then, finding some of them too dissatisfying, he uttered a threat:
"I'm telling you guys, if I don't push you, you're just clueless. Those of you who can see through this, take a look at yourselves and see if you meet my requirements. If you don't, don't worry, I'll make you suffer!"
Everyone: "..."
They were speechless. What was this female demon up to? Was she sexually frustrated?
They can help the prince consort resolve some issues, provided they don't get beaten up.
After a long silence, sixty of the hundred people withdrew, and then sixty of those who had been slow to react and were initially slapped stepped forward after careful consideration.
This time, Cen Xi was finally somewhat satisfied and stopped finding fault.
"Fengqin, what's the current status of the battle in Haicheng? Do you have any updated battle reports?"
"Yes! The two sides are currently locked in a stalemate, and the gates are still quite secure. It seems the fighting will cease in the latter half of tonight! It appears that the young master only ordered them to hold the city for three days. If it exceeds three days and the Di Rong still haven't breached the gates, that would be even better, as it would give the young master enough time to make arrangements in the rear."
Feng Qin watched as Cen Xi manipulated these people, feeling incredibly fortunate. He was the young master's man, and he wasn't foolish enough to let her switch sides. She breathed a sigh of relief.
According to his observation, these people are already terrified of her. If he were one of them, he might also be just as pathetic. He doesn't want to live such a miserable life.
"What exactly is your young master's plan? Why can't I, this princess, listen to even a little bit? What does Shen Jinchen mean by this? Is he guarding against me?"
A man who was passionately in love with you the night before has vanished without a trace the next morning. You only know he's in the military, but you have no idea where he is. It's like you've been screwed over.
She had told him many times that she didn't want to live under a man's wing, but he seemed to take her words to heart. Did a wicked woman with a terrible temper need such protection?
"Young master wouldn't be wary of mistress. He's worried about your safety. I just want you to suffer a little loss."
Fengqin really wanted to say, "Young Master cherishes you like a precious treasure, how could he not trust you? Please stop making a fool of yourself."
Unfortunately, I don't have the guts; I'm afraid of getting hammered!
"Fine, if you won't tell me, I won't make things difficult for you. He does his thing, and I'll do mine. He wants me to stay in the military camp? No way. You must convey this to him next time. This princess doesn't need his self-righteousness."
"Oh! Right! Tonight is the day of my operation. Once midnight has passed, I will set off with them to secretly invite that wise man. You will write a letter to him informing him of my decision. If we disrupt his plans, let him adjust them himself!"
Cen Xi snorted, her words harsh.
"good!"
Feng Qin silently lit a candle for her young master in her heart, then touched her nose and agreed.
"You hundred men, hurry up and get ready. Once midnight, gather here. This princess will take you to do something big."
After dealing with Feng Qin, Cen Xi made arrangements for the one hundred people she had selected.
"Mistress, the young master said I should follow you at all times, so... so I also need to participate in your mission. What do I need to prepare? Please tell me!"
Feng Qin didn't want to speak again, but the young master had made arrangements, so he had no choice.
"I'm going too!"
"Why aren't you resting inside? What are you doing out here?"
Feng Qin had already guessed what was going on with Tian Ying.
I've always treated her like a guest, but she's acting like she's one of us. What's going on?
