Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 263

Before long, uncle Liu brought the water. Qian Yin carried Yun Shang into the bathtub and sat down. She untied her clothes and poured the hot water into the bathtub. Afraid Uncel Liu would break in, Qian Yin sat on the edge of the screen and held Yun Shang in case she slipped into the water unconsciously while looking outside the door.

After a while, Uncle Liu brought a bottle of water for her. Qian Yin quickly said, "just leave the water outside the door. I'll take it myself later."

Uncle Liu didn't understand why, but he had to do as she said.

After changing the water for five or six times, the water gradually became clear. Qian Yin breathed a sigh of relief. She was relieved to see that Yun Shang wasn't as pale as before. Then she lifted Yun Shang up, and helped her get dressed. Then she helped her lie down on the bed.

Yun Shang was in a coma. A message had been sent to the military camp outside the KY city.

The army of the State of Xia had set out.

Holding the sword tightly on his waist, Qi Lang said to the soldiers in the camp with a winning smile, "all the thirty thousand soldiers, gather in the muster station. Let's start!"

The soldiers answered in a neat voice, but he didn't see that other generals exchanged a secret look secretly with each other. It seemed that Qi Lang was not going to fight as Yun Shang planned. Last night, while receiving the news that the army of the State of Xia had set out, many generals also received a message from Yun Shang that Qi Lang would not stay in the KY City in the future, whether he would win or lose.

Confused, a general asked why. The secret guard said that if Qi Lang defeated the enemies this time, he would be rewarded and transferred out of the KY City. If he was defeated this time, he would definitely be hold accountable. Then he would no longer have the high position.

They knew what Yun Shang meant. But if they broke Qi Lang's order, they would not have to worry that Qi Lang would take revenge on them. They all knew how to deal with the situation. Although Yun Shang was a woman, she was a princess in the country. If emperor Ning sent her to be the supervisor in the KY City, they would know the Emperor's favor to her. Moreover, she had a identity, and she was Prince Jing's wife. Prince Jing was the God of war in the state of Ning. For Qi Lang, who hadn't fought for years, Prince Jing was the belief of a general. And it would be a blessing for them to be chosen by Lady Jing.

All of them were at high positions in the army base of the KY City, but there was an apparently sect in this camp, where Qi Lang had trusted only two or three of them. They had long been dissatisfied with this sect. What Yun Shang said gave them a glimmer of hope.

Yun Shang had made an investigation of the sects in the camp. All the people who had spoken were not Qi Lang's trusted subordinates, so Qi Lang knew nothing about the other sect.

By the time they arrived at the muster station, the three hundred thousand soldiers had already been ordered to set off. Qi Lang said a few words to boost the morale of the soldiers. Then he asked the captains to count the number and was ready to set out. After returning to the camp, a general thought for a moment before he said, "we definitely have Xia's spies in the army. I'm afraid that Xia's army will get the news very soon after we take such a big action. Why don't we split up and disturb the enemy's attention, then we'll meet at the entrance of the Wind valley."

Qi Lang nodded, "I agree with you. We will divide into three groups. There are one hundred thousand people in each group. We will meet at the Wind valley."

The final result of the allocation was that Qi Lang and another general, whom he had trusted most before, led the army through the middle road and went straight to the wind valley. Liu Hua set off with another general on the right, and Wang Chong on the left with the other general.

The general who left with Liu Hua on the right was called Yuan Qi. He was closer to Qi Lang all the time. And the name of the General who was with Wang Chong was Wang Yan, and he was also a close friend of Wang Chong. Wang Chong exchanged a knowing look with Liu Hua, and Liu Hua nodded. "General Qi lead the army to go first, and I am behind you," said Wang Chong with a smile.

Without any doubt, Qi Lang agreed and walked out of the camp first.

The four people followed him out. On a horse brought by Qi Lang by his personal guard, they set out with the army. It took them about two hours to drive all of them out of the army.

Liu Hua smiled and said to Yuan Qi, "it's time for us to go now." Then he mounted the horse and shouted, "brothers, let's go!"

The troops then went on their way. After Liu Hua left the camp, they walked from the left side of the Dragon Hill and came to the Wind Valley four hours later. When they arrived at the dragon hill, Liu Hua didn't turn around and still walked ahead. When Yuan Qi, who was walking in the middle of the line, found that there was already an hour passed by the intersection. He frowned and thought that Liu Hua had forgotten it, so he hurriedly rode on the horse and ran to the front of the army. "General Liu, don't forget that we are going to turn left in the Dragon Hill."

Hearing that, Liu Hua turned his head to look at Yuan Qi and patted his head, "ah, I have a poor memory. I was thinking how to defeat the enemy in the battlefield, but I forgot to turn left." Then he waved to the guards behind he, "guards!"

The imperial guards came up with more than twenty people, and suddenly pulled out their swords and placed them around Yuan Qi's neck.

Yuan Qi was shocked and widened his eyes. "Liu Hua, what are you going to do? Are you going to rebel?"

Liu Hua looked at Yuan Qi with a big smile and said, "general Yuan, you're wrong. It's better to know the situation. In my opinion, Lady Jing's plan was the safest, but general Qi went all out. In order to avoid making a huge mistake, I have to sacrifice my life to make a choice."
