1339: Battle 1

Battle 1

The Prince appeared personally. He must be feeling quite uncomfortable about the lost battle last time, and he must be here to remove Xinzhou.1

Unfortunately… their aim would fail this time too.

They were all alert as they watched the enemies approaching the gate.

The army from North Qi did not follow the regulation but surged forward directly, but… this time… the troops stopped at a distance far from them.

They stayed firm and had no intention of attacking.

General Huangpu felt quite nervous. They were standing, not too far from the array formation Lady Chaoyan made. He was wondering if the North Qi had noticed the array formation and thought about how to attack the city beyond that.

His fists were tightly clenched, as he asked quietly, "Lady Chaoyan, what is going on?"

"Nothing, just wait and watch." Gu Chaoyan was still very composed.

Gu Chaoyan was completely confident about the array formation, yet there might be an accident. Nevertheless, she had already come up with a back-up plan, thus being really calm.

She also wondered what the North Qi intended to do.

Xuan Lin was also observing Xinzhou as his army was being observed.

Sure enough… it was the woman who he ran into at the Saint Divine Land. Things were getting really interesting.

He would very much like to offer a chance for the Saint Divine Land.

"Who is your chief?" Xuan Lin asked arrogantly as he looked up at the top of the gate.

Zhou Huaijin took the central position.

The snow was quite heavy, and the wind blew up a corner of his cloak whilst he had some snowflakes on his eyebrows and hair. He looked really cold as he turned to Xuan Lin coldly. "It is me."

Xuan Lin laughed.

It was an indifferent laugh.

He did not care who the chief was, because he was definitely going to take over Xinzhou, but things would be very interesting if Lord Huai was the chief.

He was going to see what Lord Huai would do when he had to pick between his beloved woman and the land. However, no matter what choice Lord Huai was going to make, he was going to get the land and the woman in the end anyway.

He smiled ironically, "That makes things easier."

"…"

"I am here to make a deal with you."

"…"

"I am planning to take down Xinzhou today and you can see that we are going to achieve it because we have such large troops with us. But I am not a cruel person, I can give you ten days to retreat on one condition."

"…"

Xuan Lin looked at Gu Chaoyan who was not very far away from him. "The condition is that you should give your woman to me. Lord Huai, what do you think? That sounds like a really reasonable deal right?"

Zhou Huaijin looked at Xuan Lin with no expression on his face.

He had not intended to kill anyone today, due to the formed array formation.

However, the Prince was humiliating Chaoyan and he could not stand it any more.

He said calmly as if he were waiting for dinner, "Fire the arrows."
