Chaoyang Chong Mu Huaicheng shook his head. "No matter how powerful Xie Yulan is, she is still a woman. If you win, they will feel that the victory is insignificant."
After being silent for a long time, Chaoyang spoke again. "Besides, Xie Yulan has almost never lost a battle since entering the military camp. At this time, her morale is very high. Only if I win her can I weaken her morale and the morale of the enemy."
…”
Chaoyang wants to declare war with Xie Yulan in front of both armies.
She is a woman, and she is also a woman. If she does not dare to challenge, she is giving up.
"Princess Chaoyang, I will not attack women. I advise you to take back your words and return my brother. I can guarantee that I will never take the initiative to start a war with the Mu family army within three months." Xie Yulan lowered her voice. This was all she could give.
Maximum commitment.
The emperor also kept putting pressure on Xie Yulan, asking her to push the Mu family army to a dead end.
Now Princess Chaoyang appeared out of nowhere, and this woman... made her eyes light up and her heart tremble.
The look in Chaoyang's eyes was something she had never seen before from any woman. The kind of perseverance and calmness that even a man on the battlefield could not match.
"General Xie, don't you dare?" Chaoyang pointed the sword in his hand at Xie Yunnan's head.
"Princess Chaoyang, I advise you to think clearly." Xie Yulan's breathing suddenly froze.
She hates Xie Yunnan and thinks that this brother is a coward, but after all, he is the only child of the Xie family and her father's favorite.
"General Xie has thought it through." Chaoyang tilted his head, with a cold smile in his eyes.
Xie Yulan clenched the sword in his hand so tightly that it made a sound, turned around and walked down the city wall.
Soon, the city gate opened.
Xie Yulan walked out on horseback, holding a heavy gun.
The general was dressed in military uniform and exuded an overwhelming aura that could not be compared to someone like Chaoyang who was trapped in Kyoto.
Chaoyang thinks she has lost because of her aura...
"Princess..." When the people in the Mu Family Army saw that Xie Yulan really accepted the challenge, they all panicked.
They are all people who have experienced Xie Yulan's 'power'.
Among those who have fought with Xie Yulan, which man dares to look down on a woman? Who dares to underestimate Xie Yulan's strength?
It cannot be said that he was beaten, it can only be said that he has no ability to resist.
Xie Yulan is a born soldier and a legend on the battlefield. Just like Mu Jingyan back then, the battlefield is their territory and their world.
Chaoyang, on the other hand, can only be regarded as an assassin at best.
No matter how strong his martial arts and close combat abilities are, he is still just an assassin.
From the time Baili was born, she was trained as an assassin by Anmeilou.
Chaoyang was trained by Baili, and even more...
The martial arts skills of an assassin are completely different from those of a general on the battlefield.
The general's lethality is stronger and his ability to withstand attacks is stronger.
Chaoyang's heart trembled, not in fear, but in respect.
"Princess... don't accept the challenge. We... any of our Mu Family Army soldiers can die for you, so don't accept the challenge."
"Princess...The eight-treasure spear in Xie Yulan's hand was a treasure gifted to the Kaishan King by the late Emperor of Dayu. I heard that it was made of the heaviest black iron by seventy-two weapon blacksmiths of Dayu. Even the men in the army could not swing it freely.
That spear..."
This kind of lethality can be imagined.
Chaoyang's palms were slightly sweaty. She provoked her first and couldn't back down at this time.
"General Xie, are you planning to accept the challenge?" Chaoyang said without changing his expression.
Mu Huaicheng pulled Chaoyang while breathing heavily. "Don't answer."
"What? You don't dare anymore?" Xie Yulan jumped off the horse and approached Chaoyang step by step.
The fact that she dared to leave the city alone showed that she was arrogant and did not take anyone in the enemy army seriously.
Xie Yulan is not much shorter than Yin Cheng and Mu Huaicheng, and he feels very oppressive.
Chaoyang looked up at the other party and took a deep breath.
This height...is she really a woman?
No wonder Xie Yunnan said she couldn't marry. Who would dare to marry such an ordinary man?
Chaoyang subconsciously took a step back...
To be honest, I kind of regret it.
Looking back at Mu Huaicheng with a resentful look, Chaoyang whispered, "Why didn't you tell me she was so tall..."
"I thought I said she was eight feet tall..." Mu Huaicheng protected Chaoyang behind him.
Chaoyang pressed his forehead against Mu Huaicheng's shoulder, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. "I thought you were deliberately trying to discredit her..."
Who would have thought that there really is a woman eight feet tall...
"Don't be afraid, brother will protect you." Mu Huaicheng protected Chaoyang.
Chaoyang sighed and pushed Mu Huaicheng aside. "So, General Xie is willing to bet with me? If he loses, he will automatically exit Dongyang City."
"Regardless of life or death?" Xie Yulan didn't say much, but the coolness made people shiver.
Since it's a competition before the battle, it doesn't matter life or death.
Chaoyang clenched the long sword in his hand and responded readily. "Of course."
"I'm curious, why does Princess Chaoyang care so much about Dongyang City?" Xie Yulan frowned slightly.
"Thirty-two cities have belonged to Fengtian since ancient times. Only through friendship and peace between neighboring countries can we win-win. The general understands this truth better than anyone else." If it weren't for the ambitions of Empress Dowager Dayu and the late emperor, how could the thirty-two cities have been taken away.
"Also, Mu Huaicheng is my brother. Your border troops insulted my brother, and I deserve revenge." Chaoyang's words were meant for the Mu family's army.
As long as she wins, the Mu family army will come back, both in terms of morale and morale.
"You..." Xie Yulan was stunned for a moment, she turned out to be Mu Huaicheng's sister.
Heart trembling, Xie Yulan spoke again. "Your father is... Mu Jingyan?"
Xie Yulan clenched the spear in her hand, Mu Jingyan was the only God of War in her heart.
"Stop talking nonsense and let's get started."
…
Highlands in the distance.
Xiao Junze avoided the hidden guards and rushed to the border battlefield in a panic.
He was worried about Chaoyang.
His breathing was so short that Xiao Junze couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.
The wound on his back opened again, Xiao Junze clenched his hands and watched the confrontation on the battlefield.
Obviously, Chaoyang... was provoking Xie Yulan.
Xie Yulan's strength is known to all countries. No matter how strong Chaoyang is...it's not the same.
Xiao Junze took a deep breath and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Chaoyang and Xie Yulan fighting in front of the formation.
His chao'er has always been very smart and knows his own strengths and weaknesses.
In close combat, Xie Yulan can only exert 70% of his power on the battlefield, and may not be Chaoyang's opponent.
…
Dayu, Imperial Palace.
"Your Majesty, look at these people, these are all carefully selected by this slave."
The chief eunuch nervously placed the portrait in front of Yin Cheng. He was about to choose a concubine. Even if he could not be crowned a queen, he could not leave the harem idle.
"It's up to you to decide." Yin Cheng frowned, his face dark.
"Your Majesty..." The eunuch sighed and spoke again. "I am asking a question that I shouldn't ask."
"You know you shouldn't ask, but you still ask?" Yin Cheng raised his eyebrows.
The eunuch knelt down in panic, lowering his head and not daring to speak.
"Forget it, just ask." Yin Cheng threw away the pen in his hand.
"Your Majesty, does your Majesty have someone in mind?" From the beginning, he knew that Yin Cheng had someone in mind...
But the emperor's policy cannot be exclusive.
If he has feelings in his heart, it will only make him... lose his direction.
"Yes." Yin Cheng never hesitates to tell anyone about his love for Chaoyang. "She is the only one."
No one can replace Chaoyang's place in his heart.
"Your Majesty, as a king... you must not be single-minded or long-term..." The eunuch kowtowed heavily at the risk.
