Chapter 475: Coercion

Time returned to a stick of incense ago.

Liu Er heard Zhang Hei go to the Red Flower Camp to ask for guilt, and immediately knew that something was wrong, and immediately walked out of the tent quickly.

He first used divine sense to contact Guan Hong, informed him of this, and told Second Brother to carefully hold the military camp.

Afterward, Liu Er rushed out of his own military camp riding a horse.

At the gate of the main camp, he bumped into Unlike Ning Zhuo who was returning to the camp.

"Military Advisor is back!" Liu Er showed a look of surprise, but immediately covered it with an anxious look.

"Military Advisor, the situation is not good, I have to rush to the Red Flower Camp. If I go late, Third Brother might suffer." Liu Er's tone was urgent.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was surprised: "What happened?"

Divine sense transmission was very fast, and after a breath or two, Unlike Ning Zhuo understood the cause and effect.

Unlike Ning Zhuo immediately grabbed the reins of Liu Er's mount: "General, don't be impatient! If you rush over like this, I'm afraid you can't help General Zhang."

"Could it be that General Liu wants to join forces with General Zhang to beat General Mu Lan down?"

Liu Er was stunned, lowered his head and pondered: "General Mu Lan's archery is excellent and can seriously injure Lord Xiang Ning. Unless I join forces with Second Brother and Third Brother, it is possible to confront her."

"So this time, I am very worried about Third Brother."

Unlike Ning Zhuo continued: "General, since you don't want to fight with General Mu Lan, you are going to reason."

"Running over empty-handed and unprepared, I'm afraid you will be humiliated."

Liu Er was stunned again, and hurriedly said: "Military Advisor, the situation is urgent, don't sell it anymore, just say whatever you have, I will listen to you."

Unlike Ning Zhuo suggested: "General, why not carry our seriously wounded soldiers and go to the Red Flower Camp together. The wounded do not need to continue treatment, it is best if they can barely hang on to a breath."

Liu Er suddenly realized: "Just follow the Military Advisor's words!"

He immediately gave the order.

The seriously wounded were loaded onto the carriage, and Liu Er rode his mount, walking at the very front.

"I have a friendship with the physician Zhang Zhongyi of the Red Flower Camp, perhaps I can use this layer of relationship to ease the relationship between our army and the Red Flower Camp." Unlike Ning Zhuo also joined in.

Liu Er was anxious, and Unlike Ning Zhuo persuaded: "According to General Zhang's ability, even if he cannot win, he will definitely be able to support for a long time without being defeated quickly."

"And even if he has already lost to Mu Lan, General Mu Lan will not be stupid enough to kill a comrade."

"She is in a difficult situation now, and she can't even protect herself!"

Liu Er was curious: "Why is that?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo took the opportunity to tell Liu Er about his experience of attending the banquet with Shuang Jing and eating morning tea together, and learning about Shuang Jing's conspiracy against Mu Lan, and then refusing the recruitment on the spot.

Liu Er heard this and was very excited, almost jumping off his mount and shaking Unlike Ning Zhuo's hands.

Liu Er's impression of Unlike Ning Zhuo greatly improved, and he praised: "The Military Advisor's character is noble, loyal and righteous. That Shuang Jing despises the monarch and harms colleagues; he is truly a moth of the Liangzhu Kingdom!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo nodded, sighing: "After this incident, I have seen through Shuang Jing. I didn't expect him to be a royal surname and actually use such conspiracies."

"Alas, perhaps this is the reason why the ancestors in the family allowed me to travel all over the world."

"I met you three generals, witnessed you swearing brotherhood, fighting side by side, and also saw the moths of the country, the insidious villains who attacked comrades."

"I'm not leaving."

"Staying in the Three Generals Camp is far more comfortable than the White Jade Camp."

Liu Er heard this, his heart beat faster, and he was very happy: "It is my great luck to meet the Military Advisor in Canglin Immortal City!"

The joy greatly reduced the anxiety in Liu Er's heart.

By the time they arrived near the Red Flower Camp, they saw Zhang Hei and Mu Lan already engaged in a duel in the high sky.

"Alas! They still fought; what should be done?" Liu Er asked

Unlike Ning Zhuo spread his hands: "The beating is done, the wood is already carved into a boat; let them continue fighting."

The two watched the battle for a moment, only to see Mu Lan retreat explosively, take out the weapon treasure Red Phoenix Bow, nock a Heart-Burning Arrow, and even activate the divine ability Red Heart Swan Arrow!

Liu Er exclaimed in shock: "Not good! Third brother is in danger."

He wanted to stop it, but it was already too late, and he saw the arrow shoot out.

It veered far off course, cutting through the sky and disappearing into the clouds.

Pfft.

After Mu Lan shot the arrow, she vomited a mouthful of blood, her vision went black, and she fainted on the spot, falling directly from high altitude.

Fortunately, her unconsciousness was brief; she regained consciousness midway through the fall and immediately made adjustments.

Boom.

She still crashed to the ground, kicking up waves of air and dust.

As the dust settled, Mu Lan was half-kneeling in a deep pit, motionless.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Zhang Zhongyi rushed over and saw that Mu Lan's drooping face was a golden-purple color. Furthermore, the wound on her forearm had recurred and was bleeding continuously!

"As expected!"

Zhang Zhongyi's heart sank to the bottom in an instant: "Mu Lan forced herself to practice the Profound Gold Armor-Breaking Art, and the backlash has been accumulating; it has finally erupted. Sigh, this is a huge problem!"

Mu Lan could no longer stand, and hurriedly transmitted her voice via spiritual sense: "Uncle Zhang, I am extremely weak and cannot even stand up. Please help me stand, quickly!"

Mu Lan urged.

Zhang Zhongyi hurriedly helped Mu Lan up.

Seeing Mu Lan stand up again, her body as straight as a spear, the Red Flower Camp, which had been worried into silence just moments ago, erupted into cheers.

"The General is fine; it looks like the injury shouldn't be too severe!"

"How is this possible? The General actually lost?!" "If the old General Mu were here, he would have surely made that black thief crawl on the ground in three moves!"

The soldiers in the Red Flower Camp were noisy, and the morale of the army was wavering.

Hearing these voices, Mu Lan's vision went black, and she almost fainted on the spot.

Just then, Unlike Ning Zhuo's voice suddenly resounded throughout the camp: "Many thanks to Lord Mu Lan for showing mercy! To spare the life of our General Zhang, you intentionally missed, and thus suffered a massive backlash."

"Throughout this entire duel, Lord Mu Lan was deliberately holding back. Such character is truly worthy of being the heir to the Grand General's Mansion!"

The soldiers of the Red Flower Camp were stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"So that's how it is!"

"I knew it, how could our General possibly lose?"

"Hmph, that black fellow is unreasonable and of common origin; how could he have the stature of our General?"

The morale of the army stabilized once again.

"Unlike Ning Zhuo..." Mu Lan chewed on this name in her heart, and her perception of Unlike Ning Zhuo became much more complex.

=9+Book_Bar

Zhang Hei hung high in the sky, eyes widening at the sound, wanting to loudly refute Unlike Ning Zhuo, as what was said was not true at all.

But at this moment, he received a spiritual sense transmission from Liu Er.

Zhang Hei held his breath in his throat, unable to spit it out, and descended to the ground in extreme frustration to pay respects to Liu Er.

"Big Brother, why..." Zhang Hei transmitted via spiritual sense, extremely confused.

Liu Er transmitted: "Shut up, you reckless fool. Being so impulsive almost caused a catastrophe. Listen more to the Military Advisor, cooperate with him more, and stop talking nonsense."

"Oh, oh." Zhang Hei had no choice but to lower his head, feeling extremely depressed, but he did not defy Liu Er's wishes.

Next, Unlike Ning Zhuo stepped forward to act as a bridge, helping the two sides communicate.

With Liu Er keeping Zhang Hei in check, he could only stare helplessly.

Mu Lan had injuries on her body and was unable to fight, and since she had a good impression of Unlike Ning Zhuo, she did not make things difficult.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Unlike Ning Zhuo organized a confrontation between the parties involved. He was always able to easily identify the falsehoods or unspoken intentions in the words of the soldiers from both sides.

In less than half a cup of tea, Unlike Ning Zhuo had clarified the cause and restored the facts.

Seeing that his own soldiers had indeed provoked the conflict first and had spat on the faces of the Red Flower Camp soldiers, Liu Er took the initiative to apologize to Mu Lan.

Mu Lan also expressed her apologies for her side's excessive use of force.

Thus, the storm was calmed.

Before leaving, Zhang Zhongyi extended his spiritual sense and transmitted to Unlike Ning Zhuo: "Little friend Unlike Ning Zhuo, please stay behind; there is an important matter to discuss."

Unlike Ning Zhuo, however, said: "Physician Zhang, please don't take offense, but given the current situation, it is truly difficult for me to stay behind on the spot."

"I must return to the camp with Generals Liu and Zhang."

"If Physician Zhang has any important matters, why not come to the Three Generals Camp later? This junior will naturally sweep the bed to welcome you!"

Zhang Zhongyi sighed and agreed: "Very well."

Not long after Liu Er, Zhang Hei, Unlike Ning Zhuo, and the others left, Shuang Jing received this intelligence.

"Hahahaha." He laughed triumphantly.

"I never expected Mu Lan to actually lose to Zhang Hei!"

"A well-deserved defeat."

"This conflict came at such a perfect time; it is truly a heaven-sent opportunity. I should seize it!"

Thinking of this, Shuang Jing decided to take action.

But one person's movements were even faster than his.

Red Flower Camp.

Mu Lan, who was receiving treatment from Zhang Zhongyi, suddenly barked: "Who is it!? Get out here!"

Sun Gan appeared, a faint smile on his face: "As expected, General Mu Lan, your practice of the family-transmitted Profound Gold Armor-Breaking Art has gone awry. Otherwise, with your strength, how could you have lost today?"

Mu Lan stood straight, her face covered in frost: "General Sun, you have trespassed into the military camp without reporting; you have already violated military regulations! I can now treat you as an enemy spy and execute you here."

Sun Gan sneered, paced with his hands behind his back to Mu Lan's front: "Little girl at the Golden Core stage, I even held you when you were just born. Trying to scare me?"

He found a chair and sat down leisurely: "You are indeed correct; military regulations are indeed as you say."

"But in your current state, and with the current Red Flower Camp, can you kill me?"

Speaking of this, his expression softened: "I came here this time to help you; you don't need to be so tense."

Mu Lan sneered: "Why would I need your help?"

Sun Gan: "If you don't need help, the Red Flower Camp will collapse sooner or later, and at that time, the dignified Grand General's Mansion will be completely finished."

Mu Lan's expression changed abruptly.

Zhang Zhongyi took a deep breath: "General Sun, whatever ideas you have, feel free to speak them."

Sun Gan said: "Little girl Mu Lan, you need strong reinforcements, the Red Flower Camp needs help, and the Grand General's Mansion must have someone to hold it up. What do you think of... me?"

Zhang Zhongyi's eyes widened: "What?!"

Mu Lan's face became even gloomier.

Sun Gan looked at the red-robed female general before him and said bluntly: "Let us cultivate together as husband and wife. From now on, I will take charge of the Grand General's Mansion. With my ability, I will surely be able to restore the Grand General's Mansion to its former glory!"
