After a while, Qi Lang came over with a cold face. A flash of impatience flashed through his eyes, but he hid it quickly. He curtsied to Yun Shang. "I didn't know you were here. Please forgive me."
Yun Shang smiled coldly. "General Qi, you are being too polite. But it seems that you have forgotten the imperial edict for which we came to the KY City earlier. Father sealed me as the inspector, while General Qi hasn't told me about the night attack from the State of Xia. Maybe General Qi wants to... Disobey the decree?"
Qi Lang's face went pale. He fell to his knees and said, "I don't dare. It happened all of a sudden. I haven't told you yet. Please forgive me."
Yun Shang felt warm in her heart as she heard the man's words. Fortunately, the General finally admitted that Yun Shang was a supervisor, and not only Lady Jing.
"General Qi is busy in the army. I understand that, so I came here myself. But do you want to talk to me here at the gate?" Yun Shang turned her back and stared at Qi Lang.
Qi Lang stood up at once, "please, follow me."
Yun Shang was led to the meeting camp by Qi Lang. There were many men with military uniforms in the camp. Judging from the style of their armor, they should be generals of high rank. And their eyes were fixed on Yun Shang the moment she stepped into the tent. Qi Lang led Yun Shang to the seat under the host's seat and the guard stood in two lines. He glanced at the five men in black behind Yun Shang and frowned. Then he said to the generals, "This is your highness, supervisor who was made by his majesty."
Hearing this, the soldiers looked at each other. After a long time, they knelt down and said, "Nice to see you, your highness."
Yun Shang smiled, "Please don't be courteous. Get up, all of you. I came here just because I heard the Xia army sent four thousand people to attack the barracks. Do you think of ways to defeat the enemy?"
The soldiers looked at each other for a long time, but nobody said a word. Yun Shang was not in a hurry, waiting quietly. After a long time, a man came out and said, "the Xia army is so shameless. Although only four thousand soldiers were sent for the sneak attack, it also killed eight thousand of our soldiers. It must have a great impact on the military. Therefore, General Qi is going to fight in person and lead the elite forces of our army to pursuit the enemy..."
"Hahaha..." Yun Shang, who had already heard Qi Lang's thought from her guard, couldn't help bursting into laughter when she heard his words. "General Qi, it seems that Liu Yinfeng is indeed a wise man. He has known you well enough. Believe it or not, if you lead your men to chase after him now, you will soon be surrounded by Liu Yinfeng' men. At that time, if General Qi doesn't die, he will soon be surrounded by Liu Yinfeng. And if you dies, do you think the State of Xia will win the game? "
Qi Lang's face darkened as he pondered for a while before he said, "why bother yourself fighting against him? I'm sure I'll come back safe and sound after I've made a plan to pursue him."
Yun Shang sneered, "General Qi must have thought that Xia's troops were afraid of you because they didn't attack you on purpose. Someone asked you at the banquet why they didn't attack before. Now, do you still think that they are afraid of you? They just know that you are so arrogant and want you to relax your vigilance. I have told you the other day, but you are so stubborn that you are still not on guard. As time goes by, the defense in the camp is still relaxed, which gave the opportunity to the State of Xia."
Seeing Qi Lang look more and more embarrassed, Yun Shang didn't stop, "You said you would prepare well? The night attack from the Xia army was off your guard, so you suffered great losses. You wouldn't have ended up like this if you were fully prepared. You must have placed many spies in their army, but why didn't they know what happened today? Do you still think you can come back alive?"
Qi Lang stopped talking, but his eyes were full of dissatisfaction. Yun Shang stared at Qi Lang and snorted, "what? General Qi is not convinced?"
Qi Lang gritted his teeth, "I dare not."
Yun Shang smiled, "You don't have the gut, but you don't believe me. Since you don't believe it, let's make a bet."
Staring at Yun Shang, Qi Lang asked, "how to bet?"
Yun Shang glanced at all the people in the camp and said, "that's easy. The secret guards in my hands are good at both fighting and wisdom. I'll let three of them disguise themselves as General Qi and the other two generals, and take the soldiers prepared by General Qi to chase them. Then we'll see if they'll be ambushed. What do you think?"
Qi Lang paused for a while and then nodded, "OK, I'd like to make a bet with you."
Yun Shang nodded and ordered the secret guards to get ready. After a while, the secret guards appeared again and they were as the same look as Qi Lang, there was a flash of surprise and danger in Qi Lang's eyes. But Yun Shang didn't care about it at all. She ordered the secret guards, "try your best."
The secret guards nodded and ran after them according to Qi Lang's instruction.
Yun Shang took her seat. After the secret guards went out of the tent, a man in a military uniform said, "If there is an ambush, then these soldiers are... going to die?"
Yun Shang looked at her and asked, "General Qi just said, he is fully prepared."
