Qin Yue Zhao's eyes narrowed slightly, her killing intent surging.
This isn't a mission to deliver an imperial decree; it's a sham to reap the rewards!
Liangcheng finally escaped their predicament, but they wanted to force their commander to leave. Everyone knows what they were really thinking!
Huo Tingye and Shen Nuo clenched their fists, gritting their teeth in anger.
However, before they could get up and argue with Huangfu Shaohua, Qin Yuezhao stopped them with a look.
Qin Yue Zhao forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, slowly stood up, and looked at Huangfu Shao Hua.
"This is my decree! But it cannot be done now; we must depart in seven days."
"Heh, since the order has been given, set off immediately. Liangcheng is under the command of the Deputy Commander of the Valiant Cavalry, so Your Highness need not worry."
Qin Yuezhao's tone immediately became firm.
"The Imperial Guards are the Imperial City's elite troops. How could they possibly know about the situation in Liangcheng? I have said I will depart for the capital in seven days. I hope General Huangfu will be accommodating."
Huangfu Shaohua gripped the gold medal tightly, wanting to say something more, but seeing Qin Yuezhao's resolute eyes, he finally sneered: "The affairs of Liangcheng are complicated, and I will need a few days to hand over the reins."
"Once the seven-day deadline is up, Princess, you must accompany me to escort Shen Nuo back to the capital. Otherwise, 100,000 elite cavalrymen will raze Liang City to the ground. I hope Princess will consider this."
Handing over affairs of Liangcheng?
One hundred thousand iron cavalry trampled Liangcheng to the ground?
Qin Yue Zhao really wanted to laugh.
She had done everything in her power to protect the peace of the region, but the elite cavalry, supported by the people, wanted to trample Liangcheng to pieces at this time, treating the lives of the people like dirt.
This is intolerable!
So now, she forcibly suppressed her anger and gave Huangfu Shaohua a fake smile: "Alright, thank you for your understanding, General Huangfu. Please follow me to the banquet!"
Huangfu Shaohua thought she had really given in, so he snorted and raised his head, leading his deputy general toward the main camp.
Two of the lieutenants walked at the very back, and when they passed Qin Yue Zhao, they showed a somewhat enigmatic expression.
Qin Yue Zhao and the two men exchanged a glance, and they immediately understood her meaning, so they didn't say anything.
However, upon entering the main banquet hall, everyone was stunned by the scene before them.
The entire camp, from its building materials to its banquet supplies, food, and wine, was something they had never seen or heard of before.
"Look, Princess Yue Zhao's main tent is built with fine steel!"
"I've never seen these waterproof fabrics in Kyoto. Could it be that Liangcheng's textile technology is even better than Kyoto's?"
"And in that basin, what's burning are stones, not charcoal?"
Just then, a young lieutenant picked up a bowl and exclaimed in surprise:
"General Huangfu, I've never seen these dishes on the table before at His Majesty's palace banquets!"
Huangfu Shaohua stared at the whole roasted lamb on the stainless steel baking tray and the Wuliangye liquor in the glass bottle, his face turning green.
"Qin Yue Zhao! Do you know the current situation? Even His Highness wouldn't dare to be so extravagant. You actually ate a whole roasted lamb and used a glass bottle to hold wine? Your actions are an overstepping of your bounds!"
