"If you prove that I am, then you can't compete with me for the top spot."
The girl in front of him was completely fearless, and Gao Shuying was actually a little hesitant to gamble with her.
But she simply couldn't connect this young girl with the identity of the garrison strategist, because it was too far-fetched and unrealistic.
"What if you bribed General Guan—" She racked her brains and could only come up with this excuse.
After saying that, he realized something was wrong, but it was too late.
"Officer Gao, you are insulting General Guan. General Guan has defended the country and made countless contributions in battle. How could he be easily bought off? Please take back your words."
Qiao Lian'er spoke each word with force and conviction, her eyes already blazing with anger.
Gao Shuying couldn't help but feel a deep sense of respect, and by the time she realized it, she couldn't control her emotions.
For a moment, she felt that she had been humiliated by this girl, and a sense of frustration arose within her.
She knew of General Guan's reputation; he was one of the top generals in Daze Kingdom.
She was so determined to take Chenglong back that she spoke recklessly.
"Alright, I have offended General Guan. I take back what I just said."
“But Chenglong has been with me for years. I’m going to take it with me. If you don’t agree, don’t blame me for using my real skills.”
Gao Shuying decided that even if this girl really was the garrison's strategist, she couldn't care less anymore.
Chenglong was not only her horse, but also her partner who shared life and death with her.
Qiao Lian'er shook her head: "This is meaningless."
"What?"
Qiao Lian'er looked at her and said, "You know martial arts, so I can't beat you, but I'll send a signal into the sky, and people from the camp will arrive soon. You won't get away with it either."
"Since you cherish the big red color, it means you will respect its wishes rather than force it."
"How about this, we'll see who Big Red is willing to go with. If it's willing to go with you, I won't ask for a single penny. If it chooses to stay with me, you can't force it."
As she spoke, a hint of sarcasm appeared on her face, and she finally revealed her true colors.
“Actually, Officer Gao, the owner of the carriage shop told me that when you made an agreement with him that if you didn’t come to pick up the horse for more than three months, Da Hong would belong to the carriage shop. Moreover, you haven’t come to see Da Hong for two years.”
Upon hearing this, Gao Shuying looked somewhat uncomfortable.
But when she thought that she had no other choice at the time and that it wasn't her fault, she felt more confident.
Qiao Lian'er continued, "So when I bought Da Hong, I didn't do anything wrong to you. Both the carriage shop and I had good reasons."
"But since you insist, I'll give you a chance. Whatever the outcome, we'll both have to accept it."
Qiao Lian'er herself wasn't very confident, after all, Gao Shuying had been the owner of Da Hong for three years.
However, she also respected the years-long relationship between Da Hong and the original owner. If Da Hong wanted to leave, as long as it was happy, why not?
“Alright, then let Chenglong make the decision.” Gao Shuying was confident and couldn’t be happier.
This little girl is essentially giving the dragon back to her.
Because she couldn't believe that Chenglong had changed his mind in just a few months. She and Chenglong had gone through thick and thin for three years, and it could be said that they had developed a deep master-servant relationship and a comradeship.
Da Hong stood there with her head down, her eyelashes trembling slightly, her eyes misty with tears.
Qiao Lian'er gently stroked its head and leaned close to its ear.
“Big Red, you must remember, your original owner will sell you, but I will never, no matter what the circumstances, I will never abandon you.”
Gao Shuying's expression changed slightly, as if his sore spot had been hit.
