"Reporting to the general, I have never seen him!"
"Look, young lady, no one has ever seen this young master before, please let me go."
Tang Nian's suspicious gaze swept over all the generals present.
Could it be that Ming Huan is really not in the military camp?
Where could he be?
How did that spies, who were so adept at espionage, come to be tainted by his scent?
At that moment, the generals he was holding hostage exchanged glances after seeing Tang Nian frowning and deep in thought.
They were naturally unwilling to be threatened by Tang Nian.
It would be good if we could escape when Tang Nian was off guard.
They knew this woman was incredibly skilled, but they had no other options at the moment.
If they can't stop this woman, the army will really have to retreat.
They had put in a lot of effort for this attack, and if they retreated now, all their previous efforts would be in vain.
Already exhausted from a long-term battle, the sudden retreat will inevitably dampen morale and further lengthen the battle lines for attacking the Great Chu.
With this in mind, the generals exchanged glances, their minds set on certain death, and waited for the opportune moment.
Tang Nian saw right through their little schemes.
Tang Nian didn't want to pay attention, because...
"Report!"
A soldier suddenly rushed in from outside the tent, and upon seeing the tense scene, he froze on the spot.
He knelt on the ground, staring in shock at the two people in the main seats.
"What do you want to report? Just say it."
Tang Nian glanced at everyone present with a half-smile, then slightly raised her chin at Xiao Bing.
The soldier was about to make a move when he was stopped by his commander.
With his commander giving a barely perceptible nod, the soldier finally said, "The granary... the granary has been burned down."
"What!"
The generals standing nearby were all furious, gripping their swords tightly, their eyes fixed on the calm and collected woman.
"I told you, don't even think about doing anything underhanded, unless you all want to die."
She threw down her sword, lifted the general's chin, and forced him to look into her eyes.
Upon seeing Tang Nian's pupils gradually narrow, the commander broke out in a cold sweat, opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
"Now you know why I'm here, right?"
With a flick of Tang Nian's wrist, the general was sent flying, crashing heavily into a wooden stake and coughing up blood.
At the same time, a muffled rumble of thunder came from outside.
Tang Nian lifted her eyelids slightly, ignoring it.
As long as she doesn't harbor murderous intent towards mortals and doesn't kill anyone, the gods' restrictions will have no effect on her.
The thunder was merely a reminder for her to be careful.
"Release those monsters."
She made no attempt to conceal her vertical pupils, openly letting everyone see them.
The generals looked at each other, none of them daring to speak up.
"Unwilling?" Tang Nian sneered, sitting down on the low table. "Then why don't you call your demon tamer over and let me see what kind of person he is?"
"this……"
"Someone, go and invite Master Lu over."
The commander clutched his chest, enduring the excruciating pain, and shouted loudly.
Such a big thing happened inside the tent, and the soldiers outside didn't even think to ask about it.
The granary burned down, but they didn't hear any firefighting efforts outside from inside their tents.
He knew that it must have been this vixen who did something.
Now, the only one in the camp who can save them is Master Lu.
The general beside him received the order and rushed out of the tent.
Tang Nian wasn't worried at all that he would bring a group of soldiers.
Not to mention that their image of being powerful and cold-blooded is deeply ingrained in their minds, they would have a hard time explaining themselves if they were to kill everyone in a fit of anger.
If they were to find out about this, the morale of the troops would be further shattered.
By then, Da Gan would have already lost without even waiting for Da Chu's counterattack.
Before long, the general led in a man wearing a white cloak.
"So you are Master Lu?"
Tang Nian opened her eyes with a "whoosh," her cold, vertical pupils scrutinizing the so-called master from head to toe before shifting her position and crossing her legs.
Seeing that everyone around breathed a sigh of relief, while Master Lu looked as if he were facing a formidable enemy, Tang Nian mercifully spoke up.
"How about this? I'll give you a chance. If you can control me, I'll help you attack the Great Chu. If you can't, release all the demonic beasts, and you'll withdraw your troops, but you won't be allowed to attack the Great Chu for a year. How about that?"
"wait……"
Before Master Lu could even speak, the commander readily agreed.
Master Lu stared intently at Tang Nian, took out a copper bell from his sleeve, and muttered incantations.
As he chanted his incantation, the copper bell slowly rose into the air, growing larger and larger.
Looking at the copper bell facing him, Tang Nian picked at his ear.
In places unseen by the public, the smoke of battle filled the air.
Before long, the vibration of the copper bell stopped abruptly, followed by a clicking sound.
To their astonishment, the copper bell shattered in mid-air.
"You lost." Tang Nian clapped her hands and jumped down.
She glanced at the copper bell that had already fallen to the ground.
Now that the magical artifact is gone, those demonic beasts should be free.
She glanced at the group of generals huddled in the corner and sneered.
"Remember what you promised me, or else..."
With a final warning to these restless generals, Tang Nian lightly flicked her finger, and suddenly thick smoke filled the tent.
When the smoke cleared, the woman had vanished without a trace.
The lieutenant hurriedly stepped forward to help the commander up, and the commander walked solemnly to Master Lu.
"master……"
Master Lu wasn't stupid; he could tell that everyone in this camp was very dissatisfied with him, but he didn't care at all.
"You dared to accept a challenge from a demon who had taken human form on my behalf? You should apologize to the king for this yourself."
He ignored the generals' expressions and turned to leave the tent.
...
Tang Nian flashed and arrived in front of the military camp.
Lou Mu was waiting for her there.
"How about it?"
Lou Mu stepped forward and took out a handkerchief to wipe the fine sweat from Tang Nian's forehead.
"If I take charge, there will be absolutely no problem."
Tang Nian proudly raised her head, her face full of seeking praise: "I also saw that demon tamer, but his strength was nothing special."
But in an instant, her mood became somewhat depressed again.
"However, there is still no trace of Ming Huan, and no one in the military camp carries his scent. We have no idea where he went."
"No need to rush, not knowing his whereabouts might be a good thing."
Lou Mu led Tang Nian into the military camp.
"Given Minghuan's strength, this matter would be more complicated if he were in the military camp."
"That's true." Tang Nian nodded. "Having stayed up all night, aren't we going back to the inn?"
"We won a great battle, and Lin Zhenming said he wanted to celebrate. We can't refuse them," Lou Mu said calmly.
