Xiao Ziwu did not disappoint him, and in his first battle, he killed an enemy lieutenant general. Despite this remarkable military achievement, his resolute and handsome face remained expressionless.
It made the enemy tremble with fear!
Not only was he highly skilled in martial arts, but General Yangwei was also a master strategist.
The Western Huan army, unable to withstand the reinforcements, had no choice but to temporarily retreat and lay in ambush on the left flank of Anshan. Their plan was to encircle and capture Xiao Ziwu when he pursued the defeated army!
However, Xiao Ziwu seemed to have seen through their strategy and did not show up for a long time. Meanwhile, their vanguard troops, which had split off in another direction, were attacked by Xiao Ziwu at night and were all captured.
In this battle, the Western Huan suffered a crushing defeat!
Xiao Ziwu's reputation as the Jade-Faced Yama spread from the capital to the border, where it was used and greatly intimidated the Western Huan army.
Although this battle was won, it only temporarily halted the Western Huan's offensive.
Xiao Ziwu was not complacent.
The three continents that they seized must be reclaimed from the Western Huan army.
After the battle, Yang Yong led a squad of soldiers to clean up the battlefield, bringing back all the intact weapons and armor.
Back in camp, he wiped his face, which was covered in gunpowder and dust, and laughed heartily, saying, "General, you were right! They set up an ambush at Anshan, but we did not expect to strike right at their base and destroy their stronghold!"
Xiao Ziwu removed her gauntlets, her long eyelashes drooping slightly, and ignored him.
Yang Yong didn't mind his cold face, scratched his cheek, and started talking about something else.
"It's strange, I just ran into a girl outside the camp. She said she was looking for you, General. The guards stopped her from coming in, and now they're about to search her. They all suspect that the enemy is using a honey trap to assassinate you, General."
As soon as he finished speaking, the general, who had been expressionless, flew out, a smile spreading from his eyes to his lips.
What's going on here?
The girl was fairly pretty, but not a stunning beauty.
Could she really be the general's sweetheart?
Yang Yong had some doubts, but ultimately couldn't resist his curiosity and hurriedly followed.
"Oh, General, wait for me!"
Xiao Ziwu clenched his fingers and strode to the outside of the military camp. The doting smile reflected in his dark eyes vanished instantly upon seeing the unfamiliar face outside the camp.
Without saying a word, he turned and walked back.
Yang Yong, who was following closely behind, was puzzled. Why was His Highness suddenly unhappy again?
The woman outside the camp had clearly spotted Xiao Ziwu, her face beaming with joy. She called out loudly, "General, please wait! I am Qin Xiangxiang, the second daughter of Qin Xiao!"
Qin Xiao is the city lord of Xihai City.
Yang Yong raised an eyebrow in surprise. Had His Highness gotten into some romantic entanglements?
