"Ah!"
Just as Lou Qianxue arrived at her room, she was pressed down on the bed, causing her to shriek.
"You..." She pushed Dan Taiyuan. "Get up."
"No!" The expressionless and handsome man trapped her under his body. "You made me come, so you have to sleep with me..."
As he spoke, he paused for a moment and rephrased his sentence. "You have to make me feel good!"
"..."
Meanwhile,
"It's not right!"
A moment after Lou Qianxue and Dan Taiyuan left, someone in the tent finally processed her words. "What did Lou Qianxue say just now? Three days?"
"She will destroy all of Nandu's food supplies in three days? She's dreaming, right?"
The commanders exclaimed one after another.
One of the commanders leading the 20,000 reinforcement troops, who had sat back and watched the events unfold, frowned and sneered. "She's useless and pretentious. How irksome!"
In contrast, Liu Mansheng smiled and said to Crown Prince Yu, "Your Royal Highness, you heard it too. That woman said she would destroy the food supplies of the Nandu in three days. If she fails to do it in that period, then Your Royal Highness would have lost."
"Sure," Gongsun Yu frostily said.
"Then, we'll look forward to seeing if the Nandu's food supplies will be cut after three days or not!"
The commanders left one by one.
Zhen Guogong stayed behind. He looked at Crown Prince Yu and hesitated to speak.
"Master Guogong, please speak your mind."
"Your Royal Highness, in Liang city, we have the Chu Army, the Liu Army, the Li Brothers, and the 20,000-strong troop we brought with us. The 20,000-strong troop is unruly and difficult to control, but we still have the Li Brothers... We may be able to win them over if we try harder."
"Yes, I'm also thinking about this issue. Master Guogong, can you help me look out for the things most likely to win over the Li Brothers?"
"Yes!"
Meanwhile, after returning to his tent, Liu Mansheng scowled as he said to his entourage. "Didn't the Li Brothers compliment Lei'er's third-grade Spirit Item a while ago? Send that third-grade Spirit Item to them and make sure to win the Li Brothers over to our Liu Army's side!"
Liu Lei, who was waiting outside the tent, immediately became upset. "Father! That's my most treasured Spirit Item! How could you give it away?"
"Hmph!" Liu Mansheng harrumphed. "When your third cousin becomes the Emperor, what Spirit Item will you lack?"
Liu Lei sheepishly touched his nose. He reluctantly removed the sword attached to his belt and passed it to the entourage. "Fine, I will wait for Father to find me a better one!"
A while later,
"General, the Li Brothers accepted the Spirit Item!"
"Did they promise to be on our Liu Army's side?"
"They didn't. They only said they would consider it!"
Liu Mansheng glowered. Anger flashed across his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it. "Hmph! There is no such thing as a free lunch. As long as they accept our Spirit Item, they can forget about trying to shake us off... Go and spread the information that I've rewarded the Li Brothers a third-grade Spirit Item for their effort in patrolling lately."
"Yes."
On the next day, the news of the Li Brothers receiving a Spirit Item from the Liu family and that they would be submitting to the Liu Army spread throughout the barracks.
At the same time...
"What? Lou Qianxue said that she would destroy the Nandu Nation's food supplies in three days? Is she joking?"
"She really said that. If she fails, the Crown Prince would also be implicated and would have to give up his power!"
"Is this a joke? His Majesty sent the Crown Prince to the border to fight, but the Crown Prince treats this as a game. How maddening!"
The soldiers got heated in the discussion. The gazes that fell on Crown Prince Yu, Lou Qianxue, and Dan Taiyuan turned unfriendly that day.
No one believed that Lou Qianxue could really enter deep into the Nandu Nation's camp and destroy their food supplies!
On the second night, Lou Qianxue made her move!
