My Man and My Woman

Amidst the wind and snow, a bright-red dress was very eye-catching. Feng Yu Heng immediately recognized Prince Lian. Unfortunately, now was not the time to reminisce about the past. Although the formation had been broken, the enemy army was numbering in the thousands. Even if they did not fight back, cutting them down one at a time would still exhaust them.

Prince Lian leaned against the railing of the tower with both hands and had two guards protecting her on each side. The red dress was blown very beautifully by the wind. While watching, she praised: “Ya Ya, your talent is amazing, and this prince feels utterly inadequate.”

“Hmph!” Following this, Duan Mu An Guo let out a cold snort, “You only feel inadequate? Based on what this commander sees, your Highness Prince Lian doesn’t know any martial arts at all.”

Prince Lian did not get angry and nodded very seriously. She then pointed to the guards at her side: “If the masters all know martial arts, what’s the point of keeping these guys around? Duan Mu An Guo, this prince has taken a great interest in physiognomy today from having seen quite a few ancient texts and examples. Right now, seeing how your glabella is dark while your eyes are dim, I fear that a calamity of death will befall you!”

“Nonsense!” Duan Mu An Guo angrily raised his hand and subconsciously wanted to slap her.

But the four guards at Prince Lian’s side were not so easy to handle. One of them reached out and grabbed Duan Mu An Guo’s wrist. “Commander, pay attention to your status.”

Duan Mu An Guo had a martial background, but he was indeed getting old. In addition to not regulating his private affairs, his body had long since been drained dry. If it was not for the assistance of some supplements to keep him hanging on, how could he still have his current vitality.

His hatred for Prince Lian was extreme, but now that the generals of the North had all been taken away by Prince Lian, he was the only one left standing at the top of the tower. Even if he wanted to throw a tantrum, he did not have the right to do it. Duan Mu An Guo felt annoyed in his heart; however, he was still wondering about what Prince Lian had said earlier. He could not help but ask: “What exactly happened to Qian Zhou’s ruler?”

Prince Lian rolled her eyes beautifully, saying with a smile: “That’s not something you can worry about.”

Duan Mu An Guo knew that his wordplay was not enough to take on Prince Lian, who had always had a twisted personality. With a belly full of anger and no place to vent, he simply stood to the side and fell silent. At least now that there were thousands of soldiers as enemies, even if the ninth prince and imperial daughter Ji An had extremely great abilities, they would have trouble overcoming the numbers. A hero could not take on many enemies. With 5000 people, even exhaustion would be enough to kill them.

But at this time, Prince Lian, who had already turned around and moved to observe the fight, suddenly spoke up, saying something that nearly caused Duan Mu An Guo to suffer internal injuries out of anger. She said: “Ah! How could this prince have forgotten. My troops are from Qian Zhou, yet why must they sacrifice their lives for some lowly northern provinces? No good, no good.” She grabbed a guard at her side, “Quickly tell them to stop! Have them all stop! Stop fighting!”

Duan Mu An Guo became covered in a cold sweat, quickly saying: “That must not be done! What are you doing? Qian Zhou dispatched soldiers to protect these provinces. This was part of the alliance treaties that this commander swore to Qian Zhou’s ruler. You were given an imperial order. Do you know that retreating your soldiers now would be defying imperial orders?”

“Imperial orders?” Prince Lian helplessly shook her head, “Duan Mu An Guo, oh Duan Mu An Guo, what was it that this prince said again? The ruler is having trouble protecting himself. How could he have any time to worry about any alliance treaties.”
