The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1718

Chapter 1718: 841 Reinforcements Are Here! (Second Update)

That statement wasn’t the most lethal.

Gu Jiao spread her hands and said, "Actually, it doesn’t matter if you don’t tie them. Blackwind King will watch your horse and won’t let it run around."

Our own horse needs to be tied to prevent getting lost, while their horse can not only discipline itself but also others... uh no, other horses.

Chang Wei felt a shock to his soul; he didn’t want to talk to this kid anymore!

Chang Wei walked forward with a dark face.

Gu Jiao strode along, head held high.

Mu Qingchen, alert to the surroundings, also stepped forward.

Chang Wei snorted coldly, "Kid, aren’t you afraid I’ll trick you?"

Gu Jiao replied nonchalantly, "If I don’t make it back, the tens of thousands of captives in Quyang City will have to be buried with me. You calculate this account yourself."

Chang Wei gritted his teeth, "At such a young age, how can you be so ruthless!"

Gu Jiao smiled lightly, "Thanks for the compliment."

Chang Wei nearly choked.

Military generals often have hot tempers; this double-edged sword can enhance their fighting power and morale on the battlefield, but it makes them somewhat irritable off the field.

Chang Wei was heavily injured and considering his life, decided not to speak with him anymore.

The group bypassed a hill and arrived at a narrow stream; ahead lay the valley where the two countries met, the Liang Country’s army was camped here.

They had clearly just arrived not long ago and were still organizing through the night.

"Wait until they’ve fallen asleep to go over," Chang Wei said.

"Mm," Gu Jiao responded.

Only then did Chang Wei realize he had just used the tone of a commander again, yet this brutal young man didn’t seem to mind being ordered by a captive and didn’t get angry or refute.

The group lay in the grass behind the rocks.

By the lunar calendar, September had ushered autumn’s chill; the night wind at the border pass was piercingly cold, making hands and feet icy, and the ground cold.

Mu Qingchen subconsciously touched the back of Gu Jiao’s hand and whispered, "Why is it so cold?"

"Is it cold?" Gu Jiao did not feel it.

Mu Qingchen wanted to take off his outer robe for her, but was wearing night clothes.

"They’re asleep!" Gu Jiao suddenly said.

Mu Qingchen looked in the direction of the sound and saw the last busy squad of Liang Country soldiers enter their tents, leaving a hundred people scattered at different places in overlapping patrols.

They observed for a while, roughly understanding their patrol routes, caught a staggered point, and the group sneaked into the barracks of the Liang Country army.

Their military equipment was at the logistics camp at the back of the camp, along with the grain supplies.

Dark winds and moonless nights, really a good time to burn grain supplies, but unfortunately cannot burn.

Gu Jiao made a gesture to the ten people, Mu Qingchen and the others understood and took out a pair of silver silk gloves from their bosoms.

Seeing this group confiscate all their gloves, Chang Wei’s mouth twitched sharply.

Gu Jiao took out five special material brocade bags, each containing a long snow domain silkworm thread.

After distributing the brocade bags, the group started to act.

The scouts and Chang Wei took responsibility for alerting the patrol army’s movements.

For those with snow domain silkworm threads, cutting battle chariots and cloud ladders wasn’t difficult, but cutting them without letting leftover parts fall to the ground with sound was the key.

This was Wei Renchong’s expertise.

He pointed to a few spots, "Cut like this, to here, and the battle chariots won’t fall apart on the spot."

Gu Jiao and Mu Qingchen each held one end of the snow domain silkworm thread, Mu Qingchen used light movement skills to the other side of the battle chariot, the two exchanged a glance, and sliced the snow domain silkworm thread down.

Quiet as a whisper, like slicing through a cake body, silky smooth beyond measure.

Gu Jiao: "Wow."

Obsessive-compulsive disorder cured, okay!

Gu Jiao was having a lot of fun... uh no, the task was going very smoothly.

"Someone’s coming! Quick, retreat!" Chang Wei whispered.

Gu Jiao smacked her lips regretfully, "Seems like we didn’t cut too few."

The group was dumbfounded.

So many battle chariots and cloud ladders, we only cut one, and some people didn’t even have the chance to cut any. You went and cut them all, okay!

"Let’s go." Mu Qingchen leapt over with light skills and returned the snow domain silkworm thread for her to keep.

The Liang Country general said, "General Chu is weary from travel and has already retired."

Gu Jiao’s small translation: You’re not in a high enough position, talking to me is already a favor to you.

Nangong Jue’s breath carried a hint of anger, but it was quickly subdued: "Do you really think the Black Wind Camp is so easy to deal with? I won’t be afraid to tell you, with your troop strength, without the support of our Nangong Family, you will definitely be defeated by that Xiao Liulang!"

Gu Jiao clenched her small fists, Oh yeah! I’m just that awesome! 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

So it really was the Nangong Family’s people.

Gu Jiao looked sympathetically at Chang Wei.

No wonder his face turned so ugly. Look, just look, this is your loyal Dayan lord, colluding with the traitors of Liang Country.

The Liang Country general said arrogantly, "Don’t come here with alarmist talk. If you lose, do you think our Liang Country army is as incompetent as the remnants of your Nangong Family? Are they all worthless! That General Chang Wei, if he came to our Liang Country, he wouldn’t even be made a centurion!"

Gu Jiao nodded appreciatively, Wonderful, keep talking, tonight you’re an ally.

The Liang Country general said lightly, "We Liang Country don’t need to cooperate with your Nangong Family."

Nangong Jue broke out in cold sweat and said, "Aren’t you just taking advantage of us losing our troops? But as far as I know, our Nangong Family’s General Chang Wei isn’t dead; he’s just captured and currently being treated with Traditional Medicine in Quyang City. There are nearly sixty thousand troops in Quyang City. As long as Chang Wei leads them to work with you inside and out, your Liang Country’s plan to attack the city is bound to be twice as effective with half the effort!"

Gu Jiao once again looked sympathetically at Chang Wei.

Chang Wei’s face showed no disturbance, but the blood oozing from his chest betrayed his emotions.

The Liang Country general seemed quite interested in this proposal, but he held onto his leverage, employing every negotiation trick: "Chang Wei should have died, but didn’t. How can you be sure he hasn’t joined the Black Wind Camp?"

Nangong Jue asserted confidently, "Chang Wei will not betray the Nangong Family!"

The Liang Country general chuckled, "Oh?"

Nangong Jue couldn’t hide his sarcasm as he said, "He comes from a humble origin. When my father found him, he was begging on the street. It was my father who took him in, enlisted him in the army. He is stubborn, inflexible, but fortunately, he is loyal to the Nangong Family. You could say he’s the most loyal dog our Nangong Family has raised. Point anywhere, and he’ll bite there! Even if it means getting shattered to pieces!"

Gu Jiao almost rushed over to give Nangong Jue a bouquet of flowers.

Well said!

Tonight, the allied forces belong to you!

In the past, Nangong Jue would never have spoken so arrogantly, but now that he was belittled by the Liang Country general, he desperately needed a chance to regain his dignity by blustering at someone else.

Unfortunately, the speaker was unintentional, but the listener took it to heart.

Outside the barrack, Chang Wei’s face completely turned ashen!
