Chapter 470 Night Raid on Fenglao Pass
The dark-faced soldier jumped off his horse and picked up Huangfu Nanlin's head.
"Marshal, the young master said that if Huangfu Nan is about to die, his head should be sent to the Chu army camp. I will travel light and catch up with General Tu soon."
Qin Ye nodded. "Be careful on the road."
The dark-faced soldier found a cloth to cover Huangfu Nanlin's head, then mounted his horse and led a troop of soldiers into battle lightly armed.
Fatty watched the departing soldiers and then turned to look at Qin Ye.
"Tu You is already on his way to attack the Chu army camp. Why send the head there? It's pointless. Besides, since it was Huangfu Nanfeng who set the trap, Chu must know about Huangfu Nanfeng's plan. Disrupting the morale of the enemy army won't be very effective."
Qin Ye looked at the soldiers disposing of the Chu army corpses with some disgust.
"God is truly fair. Your martial arts skills are almost unmatched in the world, so it's normal that God didn't give you a brain."
Fatty clicked his tongue. "Believe it or not, I'll tell that brat where you hid your liquor."
Qin Ye curled his lips, "Huangfu Nanfeng isn't in the military camp, but Huangfu Su is. That kid is still wearing Huangfu Nanfeng's disguise. Guess what Huangfu Su will do?"
The fat man scratched his head and laughed heartily.
In the Chu army camp, Huangfu Su was trying to build rapport with the soldiers guarding the camp.
Suddenly, shouts rang out from the camp: "Enemy attack!"
Huangfu Su's guards instantly surrounded him.
Huangfu Su also drew his sword.
He followed the soldiers out of the camp.
Tu You's fierce figure slaughtered his way through the Chu army's camp.
But they didn't dwell on it too much.
By the time the Chu army had fully reacted...
Tu You immediately shouted, "Retreat!"
Then an arrow carrying a cloth bag shot into the flagpole of the Chu army.
"This is a gift from my young master to the Princess of Chu!"
After saying this, Tu You led his army to retreat.
The Chu army camp still possessed its main force.
The young master instructed that there was no need to linger; all that was needed was to create panic among the Chu army.
Huangfu Su, with a sullen face, ordered someone to take down the cloth bag from the flagpole.
As soon as the cloth bag was opened, a head rolled out, and Huangfu Nanfeng's face appeared before everyone.
Huangfu Su smiled slightly when he saw the severed head.
Of course she knew this wasn't Huangfu Nanfeng's head.
But the fact that this face was lifeless pleased her greatly.
"Your Highness, this is the Marshal!"
Even if Huangfu Su wanted to win back the hearts of the troops, he had to clear Huangfu Nanfeng's name at this moment.
Qin Jinzhi was watching with predatory eyes; if Huangfu Nanfeng died now, the morale of the army would be shaken.
“This is not Nanfeng. Men, wipe off the disguise on this man’s head. This is just a tactic used by the Jin traitors to disrupt the morale of the army.”
The guards behind her stepped forward and wiped her face clean.
Huangfu Su's guards immediately shouted.
She looked at the guard and frowned.
The guard carried the severed head to Huangfu Su.
"Eldest Princess, Crown Prince!"
Huangfu Su was stunned, and his gaze suddenly fell on the head.
Huangfu Nan's dying eyes were fixed on her.
Huangfu Su felt a buzzing in his head.
Her son died without a complete body.
"Qin Jinzhi!!!"
The guards quickly helped the somewhat dazed Huangfu Su up.
Even if she was disappointed in Huangfu Nanlin.
But after all, they are one's own flesh and blood.
There wasn't even the slightest sign.
And just like that, he died.
The Chu soldiers realized what Huangfu Su was doing.
"The Jin traitor killed the crown prince!"
Huangfu Su clenched her fists, which helped her to focus.
“My son was devoted to the State of Chu and resisted the Jin invaders, yet he has come to this end.”
She held Huangfu Nanlin's head and turned back to the tent.
Inside the tent were soft sobs and Huangfu Su's whispers.
"Why is Nanfeng so heartless? He pushed my son to his death just to fight me. Now that war with Jin is imminent, he still wants power. Lin'er admires him so much, yet he is so cruel. Where does he think of the people of Chu?"
Huangfu Su's whispered words instantly spread throughout the military camp.
Many soldiers in the army were saying that the Ninth Prince was too ruthless.
Even when two countries are at war, they are still thinking about vying for power and profit, and they are even willing to send their own family members to their deaths.
If one day they block the Ninth Prince's path, will the same thing happen to them?
The military is polarized.
Huangfu Nanfeng's abilities still convinced many people.
If it weren't for him, the State of Chu would have been on the verge of collapse a few years ago.
Huangfu Su was inside the tent, and the color had returned to his face.
She just stared quietly at Huangfu Nanlin's severed head.
From the moment Huangfu Nanlin decided to follow Huangfu Nanfeng, she guessed that this day would come.
Huangfu Nanfeng is a venomous snake.
Everyone is just a pawn in his game.
Qin Jinzhi deliberately sent Nan Lin's head to intensify the conflict between her and Huangfu Nanfeng.
She sat alone on the fishing platform, while the fisherman reaped the benefits.
The guard stepped forward and asked, "Princess, what should be done about the Crown Prince's funeral?"
Huangfu Su said, "Set up a mourning hall so that everyone knows that my son went to the battlefield for the people of Chu and was persecuted to death by Huangfu Nanfeng."
An army launched a night raid.
The leading general was wearing a Rakshasa mask.
Until they reach their final destination.
The deputy general behind him said, "Marshal, Fenglao Pass is just ahead. Now, apart from those troops left to guard the camp, the Jin army has divided into three routes to attack our city. By the time the Jin army realizes our true purpose, Fenglao Pass will have already been captured by us."
Huangfu Nanfeng looked into the distance.
"The one guarding this pass is Huo Tingshan, one of Qin Ye's four generals. His abilities should not be underestimated. Remember, only victory is allowed, and defeat is not an option. Once Fenglao Pass is captured, the Jin army will no longer be able to support each other."
"yes."
Huangfu Nanfeng raised his hand and shouted, "Attack!"
The flying claws entangled the city wall.
The Chu soldiers climbed the ropes and quickly made their way up to the city wall.
Just as the soldiers were climbing the ropes, suddenly, a large number of huge stones began to appear on the city wall.
"ah!!!"
The Chu soldiers were caught off guard and were instantly killed.
The beacon tower was lit up instantly.
Huo Tingshan, clad in armor, gazed down at the darkness that enveloped the area below the city walls.
"It is truly an honor for Huo Tingshan that the commander-in-chief of a nation personally led his troops to attack my small Fenglao Pass."
Huangfu Nanfeng's expression gradually turned cold upon hearing Huo Tingshan's voice from the city tower.
Huo Tingshan actually guessed that he would attack Fenglao Pass!
He rode his horse to the front of the battle.
“This Fenglao Pass originally belonged to the State of Chu. Your State of Jin has usurped it. It’s time to return it to the State of Chu.”
Huo Tingshan laughed loudly, "Huangfu Nanfeng, have you forgotten that a year ago you were captured alive by our young master and imprisoned in a cage as a male entertainer? This Fenglao Pass was personally presented by your Chu envoy."
Huangfu Nanfeng's face was filled with amusement.
"General Huo, I heard that you grew up with Jinzhi's father, and it was he who took Fenglao Pass from the hands of my Chu Kingdom."
However, once he died, Fenglao Pass returned to the hands of our Chu Kingdom.
I heard that General Huo was the one who guarded the pass back then. More than ten years ago, General Huo couldn't defend Fenglao Pass, but now he's talking big without a care.
General Huo, if we lose this pass, you're doomed.
Huo Tingshan remained unfazed. "You can give it a try."
