Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 254

"What?" The sudden cries of pain startled Yun Shang and her companions. The horses became restless. The sounds were mixed with a kind of excitement, which didn't seem to be heard.

"General, this..." Behind them came a general's hesitant voice. But Qi Lang didn't say anything. Yun Shang worried that Qi Lang might look unwell now.

After a while, Qi Lang said in a low voice. "Since her highness has sent the shadow guards to carry out the pursuit, she must be able to deal with it. The soldiers below are the elite soldiers in the army, and any death or injury is a loss to the State of Ning."

Yun Shang chuckled, "General Qi, I'm afraid you have forgotten. If I didn't try my best to stop them, I'm afraid you're the one who's in the valley now..."

No one spoke again. Yun Shang's eyes flashed and she continued, "I respect the General. He has fought more battles than I have eaten. Sometimes, I just hope you won't act on impulse as you have experienced too much."

Yun Shang didn't want to hurt the people in her camp, but she knew that if Qi Lang was used well enough, he would be like a sharp dagger. If he wasn't, he would even lose the cities in the State of Ning. The only purpose of her words was to make him understand the enemy's situation and then make a decision. He would feel ashamed of what he had done today.

Yun Shang took out the jade flute from her sleeve and blew on it. Then three men in black knelt down in front of Yun Shang's horse. The generals behind her seemed shocked and seemed to be in a trance, as they didn't expect that someone was hiding beside them.

"Tell our men to go back to the entrance to the valley, and kill all the soldiers of the State of Xia guarding at the entrance to retreat. The second team and the third team sneak into the dense forest on both sides, and kill them one by one before the Xia's army found out! The fourth and fifth teams go to the place where they stood a little far away and shout loudly, 'The army of the State of Xia fell into a trap. Brothers, let's kill them!' Remember to shout aggressively. Then, the sixth group of men will guard at the place where the people go down the mountain, and someone will be killed if he runs down the mountain!" Yun Shang ordered softly without any emotion in her voice. The generals, who were used to acting in public, was also stunned. They looked at the small figure in front of him and pondered.

Receiving the order, the secret guards left. For a while, the sound of stones rolling down came, but the sound gradually became weaker.

"Your highness, how many of the shadow guards are brought here?" Someone asked behind her.

Yun Shang, holding the reins, paused a little and smiled coldly. "The secret guards have gone through many difficulties in training a person. Besides, father has not so many secret guards by his side. So I guess there are less than one thousand people that I took with me to the KY City now."

The voice behind her seemed to be a little hesitant. "But there seem to be at least three or four thousand people at the other side..."

"So what?" Yun Shang sneered, "The secret guards are excellent at hiding, signing up and assassination. They can deal with these so-called elite soldiers one by one. Just wait and see. At least, I won't let my soldiers die for nothing." Everyone knew who Yun Shang was referring to, so they kept silent.

After a while, the shouting and roar became weaker, and there were faint sounds of horse's hooves. From the sound, there were about thirty or forty thousand people.

"Oh no! Did Xia's reinforcements come?"

Yun Shang smiled, "they are not Xia's reinforcements..."

Then there came an overwhelming roar, "The Xia's army fell into a trap. Brothers, let's kill them!"

The voice was deafening, and coming in waves, as if it was from far away. It sounded that the man was also from thirty to forty thousand people.
