"Tang Guojing, do you still want to play tricks on me?" Xia Younan clenched her fists. Her worry about her husband almost made her collapse.

Tang Guojing would certainly not send out troops easily, and continued to tangle with her, "Princess, I just said that most of the troops in Yuhua and Yanggu were transferred to besiege the marshal, and the strength of the city is empty.

"If I lead the troops to attack, I will be able to defeat them all in less than a month."

"What if we can't break through?" Xia Younan said aggressively, "Do you want to gamble with the lives of the marshal and 70,000 soldiers?"

"There is no if. This is a God-given opportunity. This general must not miss it." Tang Guojing argued with her impatiently, "After we capture the two cities, we can save the prince. Then we can have the best of both worlds. Isn't it great?"

Xia Younan's mentality exploded. He narrowed his eyes dangerously, walked up to Tang Guojing, and overturned his desk.

Then, without waiting for his reaction, she pulled out the golden hairpin on her head, ejected the sword blade, and pressed it against Tang Guojing's neck with the force of thunder.

It all happened so suddenly that Tang Guojing was completely unprepared for her to go berserk. By the time he reacted, a shiny dagger had appeared on his neck.

"General!" Seeing this, the other soldiers in the tent hurriedly drew their swords, but Zhu Li and Xiong Fei pointed their swords at their chests first.

Facing Xia Younan, who was showing a fierce look in front of him, Tang Guojing was a little scared, but his dignity as a general did not allow him to show it. He warned her sternly: "Princess, pointing the sword at an official of the court is a capital crime!"

Xia Younan was not afraid at all. His eyes were red, veins bulged on his forehead, and he stared at him with an almost ferocious look. He said word by word, "If you don't send troops to rescue the prince, I will kill you!"

Tang Guojing swallowed his saliva and continued to elaborate on his previous point of view, "It's not that I don't want to save them, it's just that the opportunity cannot be missed. If I don't take advantage of the opportunity to capture Yuhua and Yanggu, it will be difficult to attack them again when their troops return in the future!"

Xia Younan bit her lip, thought for a moment, and asked slowly, "You mean, you actually want to save her now, but you just don't have time?"

"That's right!" Tang Guojing nodded immediately.

"Okay then!" Xia Younan retracted the dagger that was against his neck, turned around and sat down in his main seat, and said expressionlessly, "There should be hundreds of thousands of soldiers available in the army. You take some of them to attack your two cities, and give me 80,000 soldiers. I will lead the troops to rescue the prince!"

"You?" Tang Guojing doubted his ears and looked her up and down with amusement, "Are you talking nonsense? A woman wants to lead troops to fight?"

Xia Younan was not intimidated at all. She stood up and looked at him sharply, "How about a woman? General, in your opinion, how am I inferior to a man? How am I inferior to you, General?"

"What a joke!" Tang Guojing was so angry that he laughed. "Let's put it another way. How can you conquer the three armies? How can you make them willingly listen to your arrangements?"

"Words are not enough. Let's ask a question. Do you want strategy or martial arts? Let the soldiers of the three armies witness it together, and I will convince them!" Xia Younan said proudly. He was so confident and arrogant that he didn't take his great general seriously at all.

Tang Guojing was inspired by her and wanted to curb her arrogance, so he agreed reluctantly.

"Okay! Since you asked, I will give you this opportunity! See you at the arena tomorrow morning. If you can beat me within one stick of incense, I will allow you to send troops to rescue Lu Xiuyuan!"

"Really?!" Xia Younan suddenly perked up.

"Really!" Tang Guojing confirmed.

In his eyes, he had fought for more than ten years and practiced martial arts for half his life, so it was absolutely impossible for him to be defeated by a woman!

He even thought that he could pretend to fail in the competition tomorrow and take the opportunity to get rid of this arrogant woman!

"What if you lose?" Tang Guojing asked again with narrowed eyes.

Xia Younan was also happy and promised: "If I lose, I don't want any of your soldiers or generals, just take my 10,000 troops to rescue my husband."

"Okay! It's a deal!" Tang Guojing was very satisfied with her conditions.

After getting his confirmation, Xia Younan stopped pestering and left with his brothers in a proud manner.

"She's such a shrew!" Tang Guojing looked at the table that she had overturned and cursed angrily.

After going out, Xia Younan asked the soldiers to arrange a tent for him. He took his companions into the tent and sat together to discuss countermeasures.

"Junior sister, are you sure you can defeat Tang Guojing? He has been in command of the three armies for many years, so his skills must be extraordinary." Zenmu asked worriedly.

Xia Younan smiled lightly and said confidently: "He has led troops in battles for many years, and I have also practiced martial arts since I was young, so how can I not be able to match him?"

"So what weapon are you going to use tomorrow?" Qu Xiaoyou asked.

Xia Younan looked at Sun Shijiao and said with a smile: "During the more than two months on the road, I asked Master Sun for advice on spear skills every day. Master Sun taught me everything he knew and let me practice all the secrets of the Sun family.

"It just so happens that I have this opportunity to show Master Sun the results of my study."

Sun Shijiao was flattered by her calling him "Master" and praised her sincerely, "Princess, you are a genius in martial arts. In just two months, not counting the travel time, you have learned 80% to 90% of my Sun family's flower spear.

"Add to that her other skills, and I'd definitely not be her match if we fought!"

Upon hearing this, Zenmu proudly touched Xia Younan's long hair and was full of confidence in his outstanding sister.

The spear is what Chanmu thinks is the best weapon. Because Xia Younan studied in a temple, most of the moves he knows are Shaolin stick techniques, and he is very proficient in using the stick.

The spear and the stick are similar in shape and are used in much the same way, so for Xia Younan, the spear is definitely the most suitable weapon for her and the sharpest blade that can allow her to perform her martial arts to the fullest.

After the group finished discussing, Xia Younan went outside to practice some fancy spear techniques again. Sun Shijiao and Chanmu Qu Xiaoyou supervised and guided him. They practiced for most of the night before going back to rest.

The next day, before daybreak, the arena in the military camp was surrounded by soldiers.

The so-called arena is just a large piece of flat sand surrounded by a few ropes.

The soldiers outside the rope were busy talking to each other, discussing today's competition and guessing what the result would be. Some people even made secret bets.

Probably in order to show off his identity and status, Xia Younan waited in the arena for a long time. It was not until noon that Tang Guojing lazily walked into the arena carrying a big knife.

Xia Younan didn't bother with him. He stood at one side of the arena with a gun in his hand, his head slightly tilted back and his back straight.

All the three thousand strands of black hair were tied up and formed into a high ponytail on top of the head.

She wore no jewelry and no makeup on her face. She was dressed in a red and white outfit with tight sleeves, a corseted waist, and long boots. She looked heroic and full of energy.

She looked at Tang Guojing who was walking towards her with an expressionless face, the red tassel under the tip of the spear in her hand fluttering in the wind, as if celebrating her victory in advance.
