Chapter 458 Vanguard
When Huangfu Nanying saw Qin Jinzhi, his face immediately contorted with rage!
"Qin Jinzhi! You dare to lie to me!"
Looking at his angry expression, Qin Jinzhi said innocently, "I told you, if you cooperate with me, I'll help you get rid of Huangfu Su. Here I am, how can you say I'm lying?"
Huangfu Nanying roared, "You only said you would frame Huangfu Su! You didn't say you would attack the State of Chu!"
Qin Jinzhi was even more innocent. "I framed them. I had Huangfu Su's tokens given to all those guards who died in the Eastern Palace. They all know that Huangfu Su killed them."
Huangfu Nanying's eyes seemed to want to tear Qin Jinzhi to pieces.
Qin Jinzhi just looked at him innocently, then burst into laughter.
Qin Jinzhi pointed at Huangfu Nanying and laughed until tears almost came out.
"Huangfu Nanying, do you know? Among all the members of the Chu royal family, no one is more stupid than you. Everyone knows that I am causing trouble in Chu, but only you took it seriously. You actually wanted to use your limited brain to get rid of me and Huangfu Su, so that your good brother Huangfu Nanfeng could ascend the throne. You pathetic wretch, do you know that Huangfu Nanfeng sent you to raid the military camp just to send you to your death?"
Huangfu Nanying roared, "You want to sow discord between me and Ninth Brother? Dream on! Let me tell you, my Ninth Brother will definitely kill everyone in your Jin Kingdom!"
Qin Jinzhi smiled and shook her head, while Yun Que went straight up and searched him.
Huangfu Nanying shouted, "Get away! Don't touch me!"
Suddenly, Yun Que felt something in Huangfu Nanying's waistband.
She drew a dagger from her waist and slashed Huangfu Nanying's waistband.
"Princess, we've found her."
There was a letter hidden inside the waistband.
Huangfu Nanying was stunned. How could there be a letter?
Qin Jinzhi opened the letter. It was small, and there was only one sentence written on it.
I have orchid grass in my hand.
Qin Jinzhi placed the letter in front of Huangfu Nanying.
"Your good brother sacrificed himself to give me the antidote. It's truly touching. Tell me, how should I repay him?"
Huangfu Nanying suddenly understood why Huangfu Su and Huangfu Nanfeng had given Qin Jinzhi such high praise.
He and Qin Jinzhi were never on the same social class.
Huangfu Nanfeng only regarded him as a pawn.
He suddenly lost the meaning of his anger.
All those years of faith and perseverance turned into a joke at this moment.
Qin Jinzhi approached Huangfu Nanying and said with a smile, "In your next life, may you be reborn into a better family, not royalty."
She then casually tossed the letter into the brazier.
The next morning, Qin Jinzhi had just woken up.
Yun Que Yun Jin then came in to announce, "Princess, the Marshal requests your presence."
Qin Jinzhi got up, and the two men helped her get dressed.
Liu Yiyi sat up, clutching the blanket and her hair standing on end.
Yun Que Yun Jin laughed out loud at her appearance.
Liu Yiyi was in a daze when Qin Jinzhi dressed and left the tent.
They arrived outside Qin Ye's camp.
The voices inside were quite loud.
Qin Jinzhi recognized the voices as those of veteran generals in the military.
"Marshal, isn't this ridiculous? The vanguard is of great importance. The princess has never been on the battlefield before. If something happens to her, wouldn't we old folks be filled with regret!"
"That's right, we're not dead yet, when did we become so cowardly that we have to send kids to fight for us?"
"Don't tell us about His Majesty's decree. A general in the field may not obey orders. You should replace the vanguard immediately."
Qin Ye stroked his beard without saying a word, and Qin Jinzhi lifted the tent flap and walked in.
"Elders, may I ask Jinzhi to say something?"
Everyone looked at Qin Jinzhi and immediately surrounded her without any hesitation.
“Princess, we have guarded the border for decades. We watched your father grow up. You are his only bloodline. How could we let you be in danger?”
“Good child, the battlefield is not like the capital. Things are unpredictable here. If something happens to you, how will we live?”
Qin Jinzhi smiled as she looked at the crowd. These were the people who had fought against her grandfather all their lives.
It's true that they didn't trust her to lead troops, but it's also true that they were concerned for her safety.
“General Liu, you were almost captured while covering the rear, but I saved you. I don’t think my skills are so bad that you can’t survive.”
The old general at the head of the group was immediately taken aback. "Princess, you must be joking. You've always been in the capital. How could you have saved me? The one who saved me back then was a captain in our army named Qin San."
He paused for a moment after he finished speaking.
Qin San, Qin San?
Qin Jinzhi smiled and looked at everyone, "Gentlemen, quite a few of your capable generals have lost to me."
She turned and left the tent.
The people inside the tent looked at each other in bewilderment.
Suddenly, the noise inside the tents became deafening.
"Qin San, isn't the princess the third in line?"
"Marshal, what does the princess mean? Is that cunning little brat Qin San actually the princess in disguise?"
"Why did you keep this from us too!"
The princess is Qin San? This is simply unbelievable.
However, a strange smile appeared on everyone's face.
If the princess is Qin San, then the Chu Kingdom is doomed.
Qin Jinzhi arrived at the training ground outside the camp.
As soon as Zhang Dong and the others saw the princess walk onto the arena.
A look of schadenfreude immediately appeared in his eyes.
Qin Jinzhi looked at the soldiers on the training ground.
"I know that not only the old generals have doubts about my position as vanguard, but you all feel the same way. Since that's the case, let's follow the rules of the army. If you don't agree with me, then let's have a contest. If you think I'm not qualified to be the vanguard, then step forward and fight me one-on-one, in a group exercise, or on a sand table. Whoever can beat me will be replaced!"
Everyone was taken aback.
Zhang Dong and the others stood aside and said to the people next to them, "If I were you, I would choose a one-on-one fight."
The people in the training ground looked at each other.
One of the soldiers spoke up: "Is what the princess said true?"
Yun Que stepped forward and handed Qin Jinzhi the Qiankun Bow.
Qin Jinzhi drew her bow and shot an arrow that hit the bullseye.
Before anyone could react, Qin Jinzhi fired another arrow.
The arrow followed the fletching on the target, and both arrows hit the same spot.
The arrow exploded instantly.
"If I do not keep my word, may I be struck by this arrow."
The soldiers present were somewhat shocked.
They all knew that Qin Jinzhi had been raised in the palace.
His Majesty and His Majesty cherished her dearly.
Such archery skills cannot be achieved without diligent practice.
This arrow perfectly showcased the prowess of a daughter of a military family.
Many people have changed their views.
Their young master is not the same as they imagined.
Hearing Qin Jinzhi's words, everyone understood the situation.
"In that case, I'll go first."
Military officers are different from civil officials; every promotion requires military merit.
The vanguard position is a place of honor in the hearts of these soldiers.
Being able to serve as a vanguard means you have outstanding military skills, an incredibly sharp mind, and unwavering loyalty to the military!
