Chapter 323 - 321 achieving twice the result with half the effort_1
The voice echoed through the valley and traveled far.
It not only spread throughout Yutang Pass but also reached the camp outside the city where Huangfu Xing’s army was stationed.
The rain of arrows in Yutang Pass ceased in response.
Torches lit up one by one on the city wall as numerous soldiers lined up in neat formations, wielding sharp blades, ready for battle. Archers bent their bows and aimed at Duge and the others on the city tower.
Surrounding Duge, Tong San and others acted as guards. Wu Chang pulled arrow after arrow from his flesh, each extraction bringing out a spray of blood and flesh that left the soldiers on the wall dumbfounded.
"The Fourth Princess?"
A female general in her early twenties emerged from the end of the city wall. She was clad in armor and carried a long spear, walking with a commanding presence that exuded a masculine aura.
"General Huangfu, I am Luo Shuang." Luo Shuang, from her commanding position, looked down at Huangfu Yue and said, "I’ve heard that General Huangfu supports the proposition of women managing their own affairs and has defected from Chongming Country. Luo Shuang is deeply grateful and cannot bear to see General Huangfu in danger, so I’ve come to lend you a helping hand."
"How can you prove you are the Fourth Princess?"
Huangfu Yue’s gaze swept over to Duge beside Luo Shuang, her eyes filled with caution.
Duge reached into his chest and took out Luo Shuang’s jade pendant, tossing it over.
Huangfu Yue caught it, glanced at it briefly, then frowned and with a wave of her hand ordered, "What villain dares to impersonate the Fourth Princess? Archers, fire!"
