Chapter 743: Who Said I Failed?

"Not only did she perish in this failed mission, but she also brought harm to the lives of many Chu Army soldiers..." Liu Mansheng's face was full of grief.
Zhen Guogong almost choked on blood. Only 15 soldiers went last night. Compared to the 70,000-strong troop here, that would not be considered "many lives"!
"Although His Majesty appointed His Royal Highness as the supreme commander, His Royal Highness made a grave mistake in making his first decision. I fear that our lives will be in danger if we continue to allow His Royal Highness to exercise command and control of the military... Hence, I discussed something with the other generals...
Just as Liu Mansheng fervently gave a speech...
"Who said I failed?"
A cold and pleasant voice abruptly rang out!
The venue became silent all of a sudden.
"A woman's voice?"
"This is... Lou Qianxue?"
"Lou Qianxue is back? How is this possible!!!"
One after another, the soldiers exclaimed.
At the next moment!
Whoosh!
Everyone's visions blurred. Two figures bolted from the sky and landed on the ground!
Boom!
The ground trembled!
The soldiers felt a huge power!
Every person in the 70,000-strong troop was stunned as they looked at the pair who had appeared.
One of the two was an extraordinarily handsome yet expressionless man dressed in snow-white attire.
The other was a gorgeous yet aloof teenage girl in a flowy dress who appeared cross.
"Who said that I failed?"
The venue instantly turned dead silent!
The teenage girl looked at Liu Mansheng with her piercing gaze. "Was it you?"
"!!!"
Liu Mansheng looked at Lou Qianxue with disbelief, and his eyes popped out from their sockets. He was shocked as though he had just seen a ghost. "You... you... why are you... why are you here? No! This is impossible! Shouldn't you have already died?"
Immediately after he spoke, the silent square turned raucous!
"Lou Qianxue?"
"She's back?"
"How's it possible?"
"And what does she mean by that? Could it be that she succeeded?"
A faint smile appeared on Crown Prince Yu's pale and handsome face. With joy, he asked the question that everyone was curious about, "Miss Lou, did you succeed?"
Lou Qianxue's face remained cold as she turned to look at Crown Prince Yu. She smiled and said, "It was my honor to complete your command!"
"No! Impossible! One million soldiers! That's a million-strong army!" Liu Mansheng came back to his senses, scowled, and sharply yelled, "Impertinent! Lou Qianxue! How dare you deceive Crown Prince and the military in front of so many people! It is an offense!"
This surprised everyone.
"He's right. This can't be possible... Did Lou Qianxue lie to us? But, why would she dare to lie to all of us?"
Liu Mansheng appeared to have found a reason to convince himself. Suppressing the uneasiness deep in his heart, he snorted and said in a piercing voice, "Lou Qianxue, how many soldiers does the Nandu Nation army have? How many men did you have? Moreover, the Nandu Nation already... They must've been ready for an attack. How could you succeed? Do you think we are all fools? How dare you cheat us?"
"Idiot!" Lou Qianxue looked at Liu Mansheng as though he were a fool. "Just send someone to scout the Nandu Nation army, and you will know if it's real or not."
Liu Mansheng felt his limbs turn cold when he saw that Lou Qianxue was full of confidence. The intense feeling of uneasiness surged in his heart again. "Somebody! Go and scout the Nandu Nation army right now! Lou Qianxue, I will expose you!"
However, before the soldier could leave the square...
"Report!"
The sound of a horse galloping over abruptly rang out.
"We have received a report from the front line! All the 15 food repositories of the Nandu Nation were burned down last night! The Nandu Nation troops have retreated 5 kilometers!"
"!!!" Everyone gasped!
Meanwhile...
