~4 min read 663 words

"What!"

Chu Qingluan slapped the table and stood up abruptly.

She immediately walked out of the tent, and the Chu generals also stood up one after another and walked out together.

As soon as they stepped out of the tent, what met their eyes was the body of Chu Hong, shot through by an arrow, his eyes wide open in death.

"Chu Hong!"

"How dare that Empress of Great Qian!"

Chu Qingluan's eyes turned red, and she gritted her teeth.

With over a hundred thousand troops camped not far from Changancheng, how dare that Empress of Great Qian!

The other Chu generals were also shocked; they looked at Chu Hong's body on the ground in disbelief.

Great Qian actually dared to kill their Chu envoy!

"Second Princess, the Empress of Great Qian also wants us to bring a message to the Second Princess, otherwise I fear our lives will also be gone."

The soldier from before hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke slowly.

"What message?" Chu Qingluan asked.

The Chu soldier gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "The Empress of Great Qian said that inside Changancheng there are one hundred thousand troops and a million citizens, all of whom will fight to the death."

"She said the land of Great Qian was bought with the lives of Great Qian's martyrs, she has no right to give it away, and she absolutely will not; Great Qian will not offer marriage, will not pay tribute, will not offer gifts; the Son of Heaven guards the gates, the monarch dies for the state."

"She said, let our army execute the Prince of Wu, retreat immediately, and we may avoid the destruction of our nation!"

Hum!

As soon as these words were spoken, it was as if the pot had exploded instantly.

The expressions of Chu Qingluan and Chu Tianfeng changed suddenly.

Their expressions were full of shock, as if they had heard something incredible.

Chu Tianfeng was instantly furious, "This Empress of Great Qian, how dare she be so arrogant, she infuriates me!"

But some other Chu generals were filled with panic; the Empress of Great Qian not only shot Chu Hong dead but also dared to make such wild claims.

Could it be that inside Changancheng, it is really as Wu Zhao said, with one hundred thousand troops and a million citizens, all ready to fight to the death?

For a time, the expressions of the generals became much uglier.

Chu Qingluan also took a deep breath.

She said coldly, "They are nothing but ghosts and monsters; we can break them with force."

"Since Great Qian is courting death, then I will send them on their way!"

"Order the three armies, tomorrow at the hour of the rabbit, at the break of dawn, the whole army will attack, trample Changancheng, and capture that Empress of Great Qian alive!"

Following Chu Qingluan's order, the generals all cupped their hands and accepted the order!

Chu Qingluan looked toward the direction of Changancheng, and she said with a cold expression, "Deploy the Rattan Armor soldiers as the vanguard for the siege; I want to catch Great Qian off guard and let them know what the invincible Rattan Armor soldiers are!"

Chu Tianfeng's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Immediately, he also said with a grim smile, "Wearing rattan armor, blades and swords can hardly pierce it; once they climb onto Changancheng, for those Great Qian defenders mixed with citizens, it will be a disaster."

The rattan armor of the Great Chu Rattan Armor soldiers is made of local Chu rattan and tung oil, and after being processed with Great Chu's special craftsmanship, ordinary blades and swords can hardly pierce it, and its protective power is extremely strong.

Especially in close combat, it is even more terrifying!

Chu Qingluan's expression was also cold.

She said to herself, "My Great Chu's ace army, it is time to let your fame spread thoroughly throughout the seven kingdoms."
