Chapter 323 : The Final Battle (1)
From the crack of dawn that marked the day of the ambush, Fuxi Palace’s front yard throbbed with an electrifying energy. The air hummed with anticipation as the Golden Dragon Palace’s esteemed general, freshly entrusted with the command of Fuxi Palace’s formidable army, set about his task with unwavering zeal.
With a keen eye and a mind honed by years of strategic brilliance, Zhang Fengxi meticulously scrutinized the Fuxi Palace’s army formation, seeking to identify any shortcomings and amplify their strengths. His movements were swift and decisive, his every order bore the same weight of authority as their true master, the Crown Prince.
"You are surprisingly good, Fengxi," Xie Jianyu remarked when Zhang Fengxi casually unearthed hidden flaws in the soldiers’ arrangement and unveiled their untapped potential. "Your understanding of my private army’s capabilities and composition is quite extensive."
Zhang Fengxi swallowed hard before he turned to look at Xie Jianyu with a shameless grin.
"Well, the marks of a good Supreme General is..."
"... Espionage?" Xie Jianyu ended his sentence with a disapproving glare.
Zhang Fengxi cleared his throat.
"I believe that the proper term is ’intelligence gathering’."
"You are despicable," Xie Jianyu snapped at him before he turned around and strode back into his bedroom. Zhang Fengxi, ever the attentive husband, quickly draped his arm around his wife’s waist to support him.
"Wife, don’t be angry. In exchange, I will tell you anything you want to know about my Longjing Palace’s army, hm?"
Xie Jianyu glared at him.
