The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

Chang Sheng's expression kept changing. After a long silence, he asked, "What do you think?"

"It's very simple, two conditions. First, you withdraw your troops. Second, send us food!" Duan Tianyang said slowly.

"You are daydreaming!" Chang Sheng shouted angrily.

"Haha, well said! Then just wait to collect your general's body!" Duan Tianyang shrugged nonchalantly and said with a smile.

"This matter is not something I can decide." Chang Sheng's face became even gloomier.

“Then I’ll trouble you to convey this to the person who can make the final decision.” Duan Tianyang said as he turned leisurely towards the direction of the Qinba tribe. Without even turning his head, he said, “Don’t think about playing tricks. If you dare to play tricks, not only you, but even the king of heaven will come and can’t save your general’s life. I say!”

Looking at Duan Tianyang's confident back walking away, Chang Sheng clenched his fists tightly, his joints cracking, but he could do nothing.

Seeing Duan Tianyang about to disappear from sight, Chang Sheng's men gathered around him and asked anxiously, "Captain, are we just going to let him go?"

"What can I do? Can I kill him? Just as he said, if anything happens to the general, we will all be implicated."

Changsheng's words made everyone fall into silence. They exchanged worried glances with each other, and finally no one spoke anymore.

For the Jin army, the battle against the Qinba tribe was originally a battle that they were sure to win - 30,000 elite soldiers against 3,000 enemy soldiers, seemingly without suspense, but the outcome of the battle far exceeded everyone's expectations.

The battle on the first day was extremely fierce. The Jin army attacked with all their might, but not only failed to capture the Qinba tribe, but suffered heavy losses.

As night fell, a carefully planned sneak attack was discovered by the Hong Xing army and they were ambushed halfway. Even their leader Tian Ye was captured alive by the enemy. The situation took a sharp turn for the worse, from a battle for victory or defeat to a life-and-death rescue.

Inside the Jin army's central tent, all the generals gathered and the atmosphere was suffocatingly heavy.

Tasan frowned, full of worry: "The general is trapped in the hands of the enemy, his safety is uncertain, we must act as soon as possible to rescue him!"

"How do we rescue him?" Mossen asked, "The enemy has taken the general as a hostage. If we make any mistakes, there will be no recovery!"

Chang Sheng added: "Duan Tianyang put forward two conditions: withdrawal of troops and supply of food!"

Upon hearing this, Mossen and Tasan both said angrily: "This is simply wishful thinking!"

Chang Sheng did not respond to the two. He turned to look at Wang Shen and asked, "Mr. Wang, what do you think about this?"

Although Wang Shen did not hold a specific position in the army, as an adviser to the Tian family, his opinions were very important, and Chang Sheng wanted to know his thoughts.

Wang Shen looked solemn. After a long silence, he asked, "General Chang, haven't your men sneaked into the mountain? Can they help you escape?"

Chang Sheng shook his head slightly and sighed, "The enemy's defense is tight now. I have lost contact with my men. Their safety is still unknown." After a pause, he changed his tone and said, "Duan Tianyang only gave us two days. If we still don't withdraw our troops after two days, the consequences will be disastrous..."

Wang Shen shook his head repeatedly upon hearing this. It was difficult for him to make a decision on such an important matter alone.

He rolled his eyes and suggested, "Why not send a pigeon to the legion commander and ask him to make the decision!"

Under such circumstances, it would be most appropriate for the Eighth Army Commander Wu Youqiang to make the decision whether to withdraw or not. Even if the Tian family holds him accountable in the future, Wu Youqiang will be held responsible.

Chang Sheng stared at Wang Shen for a moment and asked in a low voice: "What if the commander decides not to withdraw the troops?"

This question made Wang Shen fall into deep thought again. If the captain refused to retreat, wouldn't the young master be in danger?

His mind was in a mess, and he said slowly: "When the general is away, the deputy general should be in charge of military affairs. General Tasang, General Mo, what do you two think should be the decision?"

Tasan and Mossen looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Wang Shen's move undoubtedly threw a difficult problem to them.

After exchanging glances, the two lowered their heads and remained silent.

After a long time, it was Mossen who broke the silence first: "Why don't we first give the enemy a batch of food to show our sincerity. As for the withdrawal, we need to... further consider it carefully."

Wang took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and then sighed, "For now, this is the only way."

Chimba Tribe

Duan Tianyang successfully captured the Jin army's main general Tian Ye. This news made the Hongxing army soldiers on the mountain excited, as if they had caught a glimmer of hope in this battle of despair and death.

As the sky turned white, the soldiers of the Hongxing Army rushed to the edge of the mountain top and looked down.

I saw that all the Jin army's catapults had been withdrawn, and there was silence at the foot of the mountain, with no trace of the enemy.

People understood that the Jin army's complete retreat and inaction were due to the capture of their main general.

In Duan Tianyang's room, although Tian Ye was not tied up with ropes, he was guarded by Lu Jingyuan and Hua Duoer on both sides respectively.

Duan Tianyang sat leisurely on the chair, with his legs crossed high, flipping through a battle report from Xiguan in his hand.

Tian Ye looked at Duan Tianyang carefully. He was only in his early twenties, but his appearance was extremely handsome, especially his eyes, which were deep and bright, as if they could see into people's hearts, making people dare not look directly at them.

"Sir Duan, it is rumored that you were once the princess's personal bodyguard." Tian Ye said slowly.

"You know me quite well." Duan Tianyang responded with a smile.

Tian Ye continued in a relaxed tone, "I also heard that the princess of your country now holds real power, and you, the hero who saved the emperor in the past, were demoted to the remote and barren Xiguan because you accidentally offended the princess."

Duan Tianyang smiled faintly when he heard this, and said disapprovingly: "General Tian, ​​are you trying to praise the strength of Jin's intelligence network?"

"Not really." Tian Ye put away his smile and said seriously, "Why do you still remain loyal to the princess when she treats you like this?"

Duan Tianyang smiled lightly, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes: "I, Duan Tianyang, do not belong to anyone, nor am I loyal to anyone. I am only loyal to myself and my brothers."

Tian Ye heard this, his eyes lit up, and then he said: "In this case, why should Lord Duan stick to the corrupt court in the Divine Realm? They are beyond redemption. If Lord Duan is willing to surrender to our Great Jin Kingdom, the West Pass can still be ruled by you, and the current situation will not change at all."

However, Duan Tianyang's laughter interrupted Tian Ye's words: "Who said I only want a small piece of land in Xiguan?"

Tian Ye was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "If Lord Duan is willing to help my Jin Kingdom conquer Xuanhuang City, I guarantee with my life that all the affiliated cities in the future God's Domain will be under your control."

"You also gave Zhou Baiyuan such a promise, right?" Duan Tianyang asked back.

"How can Lord Duan be compared with Zhou Baiyuan?" Tian Ye quickly explained, "Zhou Baiyuan is just a hopeless person, while you are truly a rare talent. As long as you are willing to submit to the Kingdom of Jin, the monarch will certainly use you and you will have a bright future."
