Upon hearing this, Gao Lizhu was so angry that her nose twitched and her eyes widened. "Stop talking nonsense! If you have the guts, go and try it yourself. If you don't know what's going on, don't spout nonsense!"
"Try it then, do you think I'm afraid of a woman?" Bargut was unconvinced and spurred his horse to charge forward.
Xi Yuelei quickly raised his hand to stop him, "General Ba, you must not go rashly. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. Let's hear Brother Gao tell us in detail what kind of hidden weapon scared him so badly?"
Bargut thought there was some truth to that. After all, he had just heard the explosion. If he blindly went to fight, he might suffer a loss, which would be even more embarrassing.
Thinking this through, he quickly reined in his horse and stopped making a sound.
Xi Yuelei looked at Gao Lizhu and said, "Brother Gao, tell me quickly, what exactly happened with that 'boom' sound? Did you step on a terrifying hidden weapon buried underground?"
"This time it wasn't a hidden weapon buried underground, but one thrown out by Young Master Anyang."
Gao Lizhu's heart pounded as she recalled the terrifying moment.
"The hidden weapon didn't look very big, but it was emitting white smoke. I felt something was wrong and quickly dodged. I found that the hidden weapon was like a rain of pear blossom needles, flashing silver light and shooting in all directions. If it hit, it would be fatal. Wherever it went, there were dead and injured. Luckily, I dodged in time and escaped this calamity. Otherwise, I would be seeing my ancestors by now!"
"What? Such a hidden weapon exists in the world!" Nangong Jin was stunned, somewhat incredulous.
Xi Yuelei was also filled with disbelief. "I never expected that a mere woman could control such powerful hidden weapons. It seems that this person is not to be underestimated!"
Bargu felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this. It seemed that this Princess Anyang was no ordinary person. If she could be put to use, the country would surely become strong and the people prosperous, and the world would be won over.
No matter how powerful her hidden weapons are, we must find a way to get our hands on them.
Having made up his mind, he snorted, "What's there to fear with a mere hidden weapon? Take me to meet her."
After saying this, without waiting for Xi Yuelei to nod in agreement, he spurred his horse and rode to the front of the battle.
When he saw Chen Qingqing, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in shock.
My goodness, this girl is absolutely stunning!
She truly has fair skin, a beautiful face, long legs, willow-leaf eyebrows, and cherry lips.
A smile that turns heads and leaves one breathless!
Absolutely stunning!
Seeing the enemy soldiers flee in terror after being terrified by her palm-shaped lightning bolt, Chen Qingqing was about to turn back to the city when another group of soldiers charged out from the enemy ranks.
She couldn't help but sneer inwardly. What a bunch of ignorant bastards! Since they're so eager to come and die, this old lady will grant their wish!
"And which country's crown prince are you? Quickly state your name, lest you become an unknown ghost!"
Upon hearing this question, Bargut instantly snapped back to reality and hurriedly shook his head. "I am the great general of the Northern Barbarians, Bargut. If you know what's good for you, surrender now, or don't blame me for showing no mercy. The day we conquer Anyang will be the day we massacre the city!"
"You think you can conquer Anyang? Dream on!" Chen Qingqing knew that the generals of this era were skilled in battle, but she was not afraid at all. If they really started fighting, any random thing in her space could take his life.
Bargu was so angry that he gritted his teeth. "You fool! If you're so capable, don't use your secret weapons. Fight me with real swords and spears. If you can beat me, I'll return to the Northern Barbarians with my tail between my legs without saying a word and never invade Da Ning again!"
Bargu knew that Chen Qingqing's hidden weapons were beyond his ability to handle. As long as Chen Qingqing did not use any explosive hidden weapons, he was confident that he could capture her alive. After all, he was the number one warrior of the Northern Barbarians, and he did not believe that he could not defeat a weak woman.
Chen Qingqing instantly produced a flamethrower in her hand, and sneered, "You think this is all a girl can do? This time I won't use any hidden weapons, I'll just use this to burn you to ashes! Let you taste what it's like to be burned by fire."
Upon hearing this, Bargu was so overjoyed he almost fell off his horse. Everyone said Princess Anyang was clever and quick-witted, but he never expected her to be so dim-witted, daring to challenge him without knowing her own limitations. Wasn't this just courting death?
He was feeling pleased when he suddenly noticed a strange object in Chen Qingqing's hand, and he frowned.
"What weapon are you holding? How can you fight with something so short?"
"Remember this, it's called a flamethrower. Just a friendly reminder, don't underestimate this little thing. When it gets going, it can spew fire. You'd better stay away, or you might get burned alive."
"What? A flamethrower? It can even breathe fire?" Balhu couldn't help but burst into laughter. "You little brat, trying to fool idiots with this? A flamethrower? Do you think you're Nezha? If this thing can breathe fire, I'll eat shit upside down!"
Chen Qingqing curled the corners of her lips, "Fine, if you don't believe me, try it. I'd like to see how you eat shit."
"Stop playing tricks! If you don't breathe fire today, I'll take it out on you!" Barhu said, slamming his sword hilt against the horse's rump. Instantly, the warhorse neighed and charged towards Chen Qingqing with all its might.
Chen Qingqing remained calm, gripped the flamethrower tightly with both hands, and casually pulled the trigger.
Bargu simply couldn't believe that fire-breathing weapons existed in the world. Eager to succeed and determined to capture Chen Qingqing alive, he raised his sword and lunged at her.
Before he even got close, a blazing tongue of fire shot out, heading straight for his face.
He screamed in fright, his soul nearly leaving his body, and instinctively dodged to the side.
His head escaped the flames, but his clothes caught fire.
The flames, propelled by the wind, leaped wildly, and in the blink of an eye, a raging fire engulfed his entire body.
Bargut was instantly terrified and wet himself. He couldn't care less about dignity or war merits; saving his life was the most important thing.
He rolled off his horse and rolled eighteen times on the spot in an attempt to extinguish the flames on his body.
The soldiers behind him were stunned by this sudden scene. By the time they reacted...
He rushed forward and desperately helped Bargu beat out the flames burning his body.
It took a lot of effort to finally put out the fire.
Looking at Bargu, he no longer had any of the imposing demeanor of a great general.
His clothes were burned to tatters, and much of his hair was singed. He was disheveled and looked extremely wretched, no different from a beggar.
His eyes were filled with terror and anger. He struggled to his feet, pointed at Chen Qingqing, and said in a trembling voice, "You, you, you, you witch! We agreed to a real fight, but you used witchcraft to kill me! You despicable and shameless bitch, I'm not finished with you!"
He then gave orders to the soldiers behind him, "Go! All of you, go! Whoever captures Princess Anyang alive will be rewarded with ten thousand gold pieces and appointed as a commander of ten thousand households."
