Chapter 269: Beaten into Submission

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As the sound of the flute spread, movements came from the depths of the forest.

Sometimes, the ground would tremble slightly.

The general of the garrison was called Gou Fangzhou. He was burly and had a serious expression. His voice was deep as he ordered, “Be on guard!”

All the soldiers immediately pulled out their sabers and looked around warily with their backs facing each other…

The leaves and grass in the forest kept swaying. There was no wind now, so it was obvious that something was moving under it. However, they did not see anything. Looking at this scene, everyone held their breaths.

The atmosphere became more and more tense, and everyone felt cold sweat break out on their back.

“Hiss…” Multi-colored snakes slithered up and bit at the soldiers. Their open mouths and sharp fangs were terrifying.

“Howl…” Wolves leaped up and pounced the soldiers to the ground.

“Roar…” A few tigers brandished their claws.

“Roar…” Several bears kicked the soldiers to the ground and stepped on them.

“All…” The soldiers screamed. Some people were bitten by snakes, some by wolves, some by tigers, and some by bears. The scene instantly became chaotic…

Gou Fangzhou swung his spear and cut a snake in half. Looking at this chaotic scene, he frowned deeply.

The battle between humans and animals lasted for about fifteen minutes.

It was not that Chu Qingzhi had decided to spare the soldiers, but that she was surrounded by some killers.

Seeing the killers, the soldiers in the transport team immediately hid to the side, indicating that they had nothing to do with Chu Qingzhi. Hence, Chu Qingzhi was surrounded by the killers alone.

She glanced at the killers surrounding her. There were a total of ten of them. This was a piece of cake for her. She smiled and slowly pulled out a white whip from her sleeve. With a swing…

In an instant, three killers died. They only saw a silver line flash in front of them before they felt a pain in their bodies and fell to the ground!

Seeing this, the other killers could not help but feel terrified. They immediately raised their swords and surrounded Chu Qingzhi.

In Chu Qingzhi’s eyes, their movements were as slow as a snail.

She lashed her whip a total of four times, and all the killers… were wiped out.

“Gulp…”

“Gulp…”

“Gulp…”

The soldiers stared blankly at the ordinary-looking young man in front of them and kept swallowing their saliva. What material was the whip made of? How skillful was his martial arts to be able to kill a few killers with one whip?

Chu Qingzhi looked at the soldiers and swung the whip fiercely. The sound of the air being torn apart sent a chill down everyone’s spine, making them feel terrified.

Some soldiers actually knelt down and cried in fear. “Hero, well follow your lead from now on!”

Chu Qingzhi didn’t know what to say.

She was just stretching her muscles and didn’t deliberately scare them. Was she that scary?

“Weren’t you guys hiding far away just now?”

“We’re just timid. Please don’t lower yourself to our level. Next time, well definitely stand in front of you and take the blows for you.”

Chu Qingzhi couldn’t be bothered to waste breath on these people. If they were brave, they wouldn’t have surrendered to her in the first place.

“Let’s go!”

“Yes, yes, yes, right away!” A group of soldiers ran over in a hurry to carry the grains and continued to advance towards Maiji Mountain.

On the other side, Gou Fangzhou’s soldiers were in a sorry state. Many of them were injured. Only when the animals left for a long time did they reorganize themselves and continue advancing. By rough estimation, they had been delayed for at least half a day.

Gou Fangzhou was furious. He had been in the army for decades, but he had never encountered such a situation. Were the animals in the mountains crazy?

In fact, they were all very confused, but they were destined to not get an answer.

A secret guard landed behind Tang Jinghong. “General, a letter from the queen of An Huai Kingdom.”

Tang Jinghong immediately took the letter.

The letter said, “General Tang, please protect Yun Hua. As long as Yun Hua is fine, I can agree to any conditions. Also, General Tang, don’t worry. I guarantee that no one from the An Huai Kingdom will send troops.”

This was good news. Tang Jinghong felt a little relieved.

At the same time, the fake Lord of the Northern Border received a letter from the king of An Huai Kingdom. “Due to unexpected circumstances, I’m left with no choice but to break the promise. Please forgive me for not being able to send troops to help you.”

The fake Lord of the Northern Border slammed the letter on the table angrily. “You went back on your word! It’s no wonder you can’t even deal with a woman. A man like you is not qualified to rule a kingdom!”

In the northern border city.

The shopkeeper of the grain store secretly looked for Li Yuanshao. “Master, many people suddenly came to the city to buy grains. They didn’t even bargain about the price. They only said that they wanted as many as we have.”

Li Yuanshao looked at the letter that Tang Jinghong had written to him. “The Lord of the Northern Border is preparing to rebel.”

“We’re not selling it. Also, go get the grains in our warehouse and transport them to General Tang.”

The shopkeeper cupped his hands. “Yes, Master. I’ll arrange it immediately.”

As soon as the shopkeeper left, Yang Jingwen walked out from the shadows. “Yuanshao, leave this to me.”

“You haven’t recovered from your injuries yet. Rest well.” Li Yuanshao was extremely vigilant and couldn’t trust Yang Jingwen entirely. Although there was a lot going on between the two of them lately, it was too sudden and made him suspect that Yang Jingwen could potentially be a spy.

Yang Jingwen’s eyes dimmed. “Then at least let me do something for you, Ok?”

Li Yuanshao thought for a moment and said, “If you insist, help me investigate the situation of the northern garrison.”

Yang Jingwen agreed. “Okay.”

Li Yuanshao watched her leave in a daze. He felt that he could not see through her. He felt that she was covered in a veil. He could see her, but he could not see her clearly.

The terrain of Maiji Mountain was very flat, and the foot of the mountain was like a plain. It was covered in a thick layer of grass. Now that the two armies had yet to arrive, standing among the grass, one felt a sense of tranquility when a gentle breeze blew past their face.

Tang Jinghong asked the secret guards to find a place to hide the arrowheads first. It was still uncertain who would arrive first. If it was the other party, the arrowheads would definitely be snatched away.

After hiding the arrowheads, Tang Jinghong arranged for Tong Yujie to keep an eye on them. The other secret guards went to investigate the fake Lord of the Northern Border, while he went to meet up with Chu Qingzhi.

However, Chu Qingzhi was about to arrive too. Now, the soldiers were respectful and afraid of her. They would do whatever she said. No one dared to say no.

“Xiao Qing!” Tang Jinghong landed in front of Chu Qingzhi with a food box in his hand. “Eat something.”

Chu Qingzhi was hungry. When she saw Tang Jinghong appear with food, she was very surprised.

The two of them walked to the side and found a stone to use as a table. Tang Jinghong took out the food one by one. “Eat. It’s all prepared for you.”

Chu Qingzhi asked with concern, “Have you eaten?”

Tang Jinghong nodded with a smile in his eyes… He felt happy whenever he was with Qingzhi. “Yes, don’t worry about me. Hurry up and eat.”

“I’ll eat then.” Chu Qingzhi sat down cross-legged and enjoyed the cool mountain breeze as she slowly ate..
