Chapter 957

Liu Mengyun has now become one of the most talked-about figures in the Southeast Military.

With her breathtaking beauty, icy temperament, formidable strength, and outstanding personal ability, she is renowned throughout the entire Southeast.

Especially after word got out that she wanted to stay by Su Yang's side and refused the military's promotion and transfer orders, although many who admired and idolized Liu Mengyun said plenty of sour things.

Most people in their hearts still agreed that this golden boy and jade girl were a perfect match!

After all, the two really did suit each other!

But they never expected that now Su Yang seemed to have "cheated"!

Some aide, with ill intentions in his heart, suspected that perhaps Su Yang's home front had caught fire, forcing him to flee in disarray with this woman to Zhanghai City to seek Qian Hailong's protection.

The matters of Bohai City, Shuizhou City, and the Island Nation are still military secrets; the information is sealed and known only to the upper echelons. Not every aide is clear on them, lest panic be stirred up.

Moreover, these aides generally each handle their own area of responsibility.

Su Yang had just taken a sip of hot water when he heard footsteps. He looked toward the door and saw An Hang just walking past.

He raised his hand and called out: "Deputy Captain An!"

An Hang paused his steps, looked toward the office beside him in surprise, and said: "City Lord Su! It's really you? You've actually come back?"

"Yes!"

"You just got back to Zhanghai City, and you've already returned?"

"That's right!" Su Yang laughed. "I'm faster than you!"

An Hang beckoned to Su Yang, and Su Yang set down his water cup and walked out.

"Didn't you go to monitor the Island Nation's movements? How come you're back already?" An Hang lowered his voice and asked. "Did you discover some important intelligence? You need to rush back to report."

"Yes…"

"Then hurry and come with me to General Qian!" An Hang grabbed Su Yang's sleeve. "General Qian is worrying about this very matter!"

"Let me tell you, General Qian doesn't seem to plan on pursuing you for wrecking the plan. When you see General Qian in a bit, be a little more sincere, honestly admit your mistake, and the matter will most likely be let go!"

An Hang spoke extremely fast, dragging Su Yang toward Qian Hailong's office.

"Wait, Deputy Captain An, there's one more person we need to bring!"

"Who?"

"Sovereign Jiazi, come with me!"

"Okay!"

Sovereign Jiazi quickly stood up and obediently followed behind Su Yang.

Only then did An Hang notice Sovereign Jiazi.

"Who is she?"

"A prisoner of war!"

Su Yang was afraid An Hang would get the wrong idea.

"Tsk tsk! Su Yang, I don't even know what to say about you? Could it be that you only captured her because she's pretty?"

Just as Su Yang was about to explain, An Hang dragged him into Qian Hailong's office.

An Hang didn't overthink it.

Pretty is pretty, so what!

He figured Su Yang must have captured an Island Nation prisoner while monitoring them, discovered some important intelligence, and rushed back to report to the Southeast Military.

There couldn't be any other explanation.

"General Qian, it's City Lord Su—he's back, and he brought a prisoner, saying he has important news to report!"

Qian Hailong's face instantly grew stern.

He had not forgotten Su Yang wrecking the original plan.

Deep down, he had planned to blame Su Yang, but he believed he still needed to thoroughly discipline, or at least scold, Su Yang!

He had to take this "reckless" youngster down a peg!

Seeing Qian Hailong's stony face, Su Yang's heart skipped a beat and he guessed Qian Hailong was in a foul mood.

He hurriedly said: "General Qian, I have something important to report!"

"Speak, what important matter!"

Hearing it was something important, Qian Hailong decided to discuss business first, then have a proper talk with Su Yang afterward.

"The war against the Island Nation—our Huaxia Federation has won!"

"What? What do you mean by that?" Qian Hailong frowned, stared at Su Yang, his mind completely unable to process it. "Su Yang, I hope you're not joking about something like this. We haven't even started the war yet. The Island Nation's strength is no small matter. This battle might require us to mobilize the nation's top experts. The preparations alone could take a month. And you're telling me we've already won? How did we win? Win with our heads?"

Qian Hailong's words were no joke.

War isn't something you just declare and fight!

Preparations in the early stage of war are especially important!

If a full-scale war were truly launched, the Island Nation has over thirty King-tier experts. The Huaxia Federation would first need to gather as many King-tier experts from across the nation as possible, striving for an advantage in the number of King-tier experts… A month of preparation time is not excessive at all!

Even An Hang, standing to the side, said: "City Lord Su, I had just arrived at Zhanghai City and notified General Qian about the Island Nation matter. General Qian had just said he would notify the General Headquarters that a large-scale war might be necessary. And then you come back on your next step saying the war is already won… Don't joke around. War is a very serious, very brutal matter!"

"The point is, we've already won!"

Qian Hailong, furious, laughed instead: "Tell me, how did we win?"

"Look at this!"

Facing Qian Hailong and An Hang's doubts, Su Yang wasn't angry.

This was the normal reaction, after all!

He quickly handed the surrender agreement to Qian Hailong: "General Qian, take a look and you'll understand!"

The agreement was bilingual, in both Huaxia and Island Nation language. Qian Hailong merely glanced at it, and the anger on his face froze…

Sovereign Jiazi lowered her head, shuffled her feet, and slowly positioned herself behind Su Yang.

Although, now that she had been driven out of the island nation, she had nothing left to miss about it.

But the matter of surrendering still made her feel ashamed, her face burning hot.

Seeing the expression on Qian Hailong's face, An Hang's curiosity itched at him like a cat's claws; he really wanted to run over and see what exactly was written on that paper that had so shocked Qian Hailong, but he didn't dare.

If he wanted to see it, he had to get Qian Hailong's permission.

Qian Hailong was pale and plump, his belly even slightly puffed out, but he too had fought his way out of the battlefield.

His hands were pale and fat, like white radishes, but whether it was killing people or killing fierce beasts, his hands were always steady!

But today, the hand gripping the paper began to tremble!
