Jiang Wan noticed the generals' hesitation. The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing. How can you know you won't win if you don't take a gamble? If you keep being timid and hesitant, you might as well surrender sooner.
"General Shangguan, what do you think?"
"That is indeed a method."
"This method requires preparation overnight. Send people to bury the rope, and find several strong men to lie in ambush around it, ready to pull the rope on command."
"Alright, one drumbeat and the rope is pulled, two shots and the arrows are fired. Tomorrow's battle is crucial. If we win, we can return to the capital as soon as possible." Shangguan Tuo decided to make the decision.
Based on the troop deployments over this period, he discovered that Jiang Wan had great strategic insights, which is why he singled out Jiang Wan's name when the group of old men were arguing earlier.
Moreover, he found that Jiang Wan's intuition was very accurate, so this time he still chose to trust her and follow her advice in making arrangements.
"Commander, please reconsider!"
Shangguan Tuo's tone was forceful and his expression serious. "Just do as Jiang Wan says." He brooked no refusal from others, and his unsmiling demeanor gave everyone present a strong sense of distance.
"Yes!" There was nothing they could do; their commander had given the order, so the subordinates had no choice but to obey. They left the tent to instruct their men to carry out the plan and prepare for the next day's battle.
"Commander, I'll be leaving now." Jiang Wan clasped her hands in farewell.
A dark current surged in Shangguan Tuo's eyes as he looked at Jiang Wan's retreating figure with a gaze filled with certain emotions.
Knowing he shouldn't do this, he suppressed his inner impulses.
Society forbids it...
Besides, he has a wife he is not yet betrothed to. Even if she is someone he has never met since childhood, he should still consider the innocent young girl.
Mu Ziying portrayed his forbearance and pain perfectly, not a bit more or less. Anyone could see the struggle in his heart at that moment, except for Jiang Wan, who had already walked away and was unaware of it.
"Cut! Excellent!" Xiao Wang's smile was impossible to hide; the corners of his mouth were almost hidden behind his ears.
Filming has been going really smoothly lately.
Lu Wanzheng didn't go far. After leaving the tent, she stood at the door. When she heard Director Xiao call for a stop, she immediately turned back from outside.
"Everyone should go home and rest early. You all did a great job today. Keep up the good work tomorrow," Xiao Wang said, clapping his hands. He wasn't just saying this to Lu Wanzheng and the other actors, but also to all the staff on set.
Working in such harsh conditions all day must have been incredibly tiring.
Upon hearing Xiao Wang's words, everyone let down their guard, relaxed, and became lethargic—a common occurrence when not working.
The staff chatted as they packed up their filming equipment.
"I was blown away by Lu Wanzheng's coolness today! If she were a man, I would definitely marry her."
“I heard that she practiced riding a horse for a while this afternoon and learned it very quickly. If it were me, I could perform for Teacher Chen for half an hour just by getting on the horse.”
"Not only that, I also heard that Lu Wanzheng learned how to use a sword after watching Teacher Chen practice it just once. Isn't that amazing?"
"The afternoon's performance was incredibly immersive. Lu Wanzheng's martial arts moves were truly amazing. If I hadn't known beforehand that she was a woman, I would have had a hard time recognizing her as a girl just by watching her kung fu."
Without Wang Xiyou's assistant stirring things up, the atmosphere at the scene was much less hostile.
