But just to be on the safe side, she spoke up anyway.
"If Hua Niang could kill that Wang Yan, she would not seek official rank or title, but only wish to secure a legitimate position by the prince's side. I wonder... what does Your Highness think?"
Prince Chloe seemed to have anticipated her thoughts, and suppressing the deep thought in his eyes, he smiled with emotion.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Hua Niang! Although Father won't agree, if you achieve merit in battle this time, even if Father doesn't want me to marry a woman from the martial world, he will have some reservations. I'll try my best to persuade him then, and I believe that with Father's love for me, he will definitely agree!"
Hua Niang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, her smile growing even stronger, and her killing intent becoming increasingly clear, directed at Wang Yan.
Standing outside, Qin Qing's heart grew increasingly heavy. This woman's martial arts skills were extraordinary, not to mention her deadly poison... She had been unconscious for nearly two or three months after being poisoned; anyone else would have been in danger...
Next, the two inside the tent began doing some indescribable things. Qin Qing peeked at them and then prepared to leave.
However, looking at the tents, she suddenly thought of something, and a sly glint flashed in her eyes…
Then he turned around and went to the military camp!
At noon, the second major battle began again. General Xiao led 100,000 troops to confront the enemy. The two sides fought fiercely, with cries of pain and screams filling the air...
Qin Qing, as part of the reinforcements, was also ordered to the battlefield. She then secretly slipped out of the ranks while everyone was roaring forward.
However, there were too many people on both sides, and she was unable to locate Wang Yan, let alone hand over what she had to him.
She dodged and weaved her way forward, avoiding both friendly fire and being wounded by her own men. Finally, she reached the edge of the battle zone and soon saw the man she hadn't seen for three months, though she hadn't seen him for a single day…
At this moment, Wang Yan was like a grim reaper on the battlefield, his long sword flashing without hesitation as he slaughtered the enemies who approached him. Soon, the enemy army was so frightened that they retreated one after another, and no one dared to come close...
Wherever Wang Yan's gaze fell, no one dared to meet his eyes, for his gaze was too gloomy and deep, as if a single glance would invite doubt!
At this moment, General Xiao of the Ice Mountain Grassland Tribe suddenly rushed over, shouting.
"Anyone who retreats without orders will be killed without mercy!"
A chilling "Kill without mercy!" terrified the soldiers, leaving them speechless with fear, and they charged at the enemy again in terror, terrified of being mistaken for deserters...
After General Xiao finished speaking, he raised his cleaver and charged forward. Wang Yan sat on his horse, looking at him with a cold gaze.
"I have long heard of General Wang's superb martial arts skills, and I would like to have a good chance to learn from him today!"
After saying that, General Xiao's aura surged, his eyes widened in anger, and his killing intent surged forth!
Wang Yan, however, remained expressionless and unchanging, as if the enemy before him were utterly insignificant! For a proud general, this was a tremendous humiliation!
Enraged, General Xiao shouted and rushed over to check the strength he had used!
The two sides quickly clashed, the sharp, continuous sounds of blows echoing throughout the air…
After a long time, the two still hadn't determined a winner, but a large number of soldiers around them had died, leaving an empty space.
General Xiao was also exhausted and covered in sweat, his face growing increasingly pale. In contrast, Wang Yan, apart from being a little out of breath, had almost no sweat on his forehead.
Upon seeing this, General Xiao was enraged! Something suddenly occurred to him, and he attacked while simultaneously making sarcastic remarks.
"As expected of the mighty general of Tianlong Kingdom, feared by all! I heard you were demoted from a civil official by your own emperor, haha! What good is winning the war? You'll still be suppressed by the old emperor when you return! So cowardly and foolish! You're a disgrace to us generals!"
As a general who had spent his entire life on the battlefield, and especially one with almost no defeats, Wang Yan was undoubtedly proud. Such sarcastic remarks would have enraged any general...
However, the other party was Wang Yan! The same Wang Yan who sent a letter to the old emperor a few months ago, threatening and forcing him to provide money and supplies!
How could he care about useless loyalty and foolish righteousness now!
Seeing that Wang Yan showed no sign of distress, calmly accepting each of his attacks and even counterattacking, General Xiao was furious.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't shocked! According to the information he received, after Wang Yan was demoted by the old emperor of Tianlong Kingdom, he quickly lost his power. The old emperor didn't even offer any condolences, just gave him some silver and then ignored him!
Anyone would have felt their faith crumble and be utterly humiliated in this situation! Let alone someone like Wang Yan! Yet he seemed completely unconcerned!
Instead of irritating the enemy, he himself became somewhat flustered. After exerting all his strength for so long, he was running out of energy and could only pant and start to panic.
"I've heard that General Wang's mother is over sixty years old and still lives in the capital. I wonder if that old emperor will treat her well. What if he takes a dislike to you one day...? What's the point of having a servant then? It would be better for General Wang to follow my prince. I guarantee you money, beautiful women, status, and power!"
Wang Yan's response was a vicious strike, severing the handle of General Xiao's cleaver in two...
Seeing that he had lost his weapon, even the most arrogant General Xiao was thrown into disarray! He hadn't managed to confuse the enemy, but he himself was already in a state of chaos!
With a forceful kick from Wang Yan, the horse, in pain, reared up and neighed, throwing General Xiao off its back.
A wave of weightlessness washed over him, and General Xiao felt a sharp pain in his back. When he looked up again, a sharp longsword was held across his neck! Closer now, he could even clearly feel its coldness and smell the blood on the blade…
Life and death are separated by a single moment!
Wang Yan stared expressionlessly at the man on the ground, and with a wave of his hand, prepared to take his head...
However, General Xiao, lying on the ground, uttered a sentence with a face full of panic and horror…
"You...you don't want to know where your wife is!"
The longsword's downward motion came to an abrupt halt, the sharp blade stopping less than a centimeter from his neck...
If he had spoken even a second later, his head would have been chopped off! His body would have been torn to shreds!
The man on horseback, who had been expressionless throughout the city, now showed a hint of forbearance and determination.
"What did you say?"
General Xiao hadn't recovered from the shock of almost losing his head when he heard these words. But he had no idea where Wang Yan's wife was, so he could only pause for a moment before quickly coming up with an excuse. He hurriedly said...
"To be honest, the General's wife is currently being held in a dungeon by our army. She is safe and sound for now, but I cannot guarantee what will happen to me if something were to happen to her!"
Wang Yan hesitated…
