Capítulo 765: Chapter 764: One Wave Has Not Subsided, Another Rises (Part 1)
Feng Bailing was quite surprised after hearing this; the Demon God actually required the assistance of the Wu sisters to support Great Chu.
Could it be that as a Demon God, there were so origins related to Great Chu or Dongfang Li? Thinking of Dongfang Li’s Jade Whistle, Feng Bailing indeed found this matter to be rather suspicious.
Although Feng Bailing had already left the Da Chu Royal Family, she was still a person of Da Chu and still harbored so concerns for it. Moreover, she wanted to see for herself how those Tiger Army and Dongfang Li were able to control them.
“I have so past acquaintance with Dongfang Li, the commander of the Great Chu Army. How about I accompany you to Dongfang Li’s military camp for a visit? I can also introduce you, which should enable better cooperation between your two armies.”
Feng Bailing took the initiative to suggest.
Wu Zhenzhen thought to herself; she had actually t Dongfang Li as well, but it was at the Competition Among Ten Countries. As the Seventh Prince of Great Chu, Dongfang Li was rather arrogant, and had previously had a conflict with the Wu sisters. If they rashly led an army to support without Feng Bailing’s introduction, with Dongfang Li’s temperant, he might not accept them.
“Then we would appreciate your company on the journey.”
Wu Zhenzhen did not refuse any further.
On the other side, at the border of Great Chu, within the main tent of the Great Chu Army Camp, it was currently a scene of cheerful laughter.
Dongfang Li was all smiles, and his subordinates were also showering him with continuous complints, which he found quite gratifying to hear.
“Seventh Prince, you really are extraordinary, being able to command that group of fierce Tiger Army. Those Beiqi riffraffs have really taken a loss this ti. Their Wolf Army was beaten back by our Tiger Army and they dare not approach our camp even now.”
Prince Mu and a few others were there, profusely flattering him.
“Prince Mu, I also owe you a great deal for this ti. During my return to Chu City, you stalled the Beiqi Army’s attack. Rest assured, once we achieve a complete victory this ti and I return to Chu City, I will certainly report to Father Emperor and rewards will be given based on rit.”
Since Dongfang Li began fighting, he had never won such a great victory; in fact, he had hardly fought before. In the previous encounters, the Great Chu Army was always suppressed by the Beiqi Army. The ergence of the Tiger Army repelled several attacks from the Wolf Army, indeed representing a significant victory for the Great Chu Army.
“Seventh Prince, although the Tiger Army has achieved great success, there is still a problem. Those Tigers are fierce, and as wild beasts, they like to eat at, but we did not prepare much at on the battlefield. Most of the at in the camp has already been fed to them. In the upcoming battles, if the Tigers get too hungry, we will need even more at, which we do not have enough of in the camp.”
Despite the Tiger Army establishing achievents, there were many subsequent issues. Those Tigers were extrely fierce; apart from Dongfang Li, nobody else could get close. So of the Fire Head Army had even been eaten by the Tigers.
As a result, no soldiers in the camp dared to approach the Tigers.
“What’s the big deal? It’s just food, isn’t it? Haven’t we raised many war horses? Just kill the horses for at.”
Dongfang Li replied indifferently.
“But Seventh Prince, if we kill the war horses, how will we carry out our attacks and transport military supplies afterwards?”
The supply officer was clearly troubled.
“With the Tiger Army, we will soon achieve total victory and drive Beiqi back to their nest. After that, what will we need war horses or military supplies for?”
Dongfang Li reprimanded, and with no other choice, the supply officer could only go and execute his orders.
“Reporting to the Seventh Prince, there is an army approaching from the south; the flags seem to be that of the Chen Dynasty’s army. The advance party reports that the Goddesses of Chen Dynasty, Wu Zhenzhen and Wu Wanwan sisters, have co to aid our army.”
“Refuse them, refuse.”
Dongfang Li waved his hand dismissively. He had no real connections with the Wu sisters, and they had rely crossed paths at the Competition Among Ten Countries. Moreover, he rembered that Wu Zhenzhen was rather fierce and cruel in her thods.
Now that Great Chu was in a fierce battle with Beiqi, and Chen Dynasty was suddenly intervening, he was sure it was not with good intentions.
Besides, with the Tiger Army in his hands, he didn’t need any assistance from the Chen Dynasty.
“Seventh Prince, accompanying them is also a young lady. She is Princess Feng.”
The ssenger who ca to report was once a personal guard of Dongfang Li. He was also aware of those old days of Feng Bailing and Dongfang Li.
He also knew about the intricate relationship between the Seventh Prince and the forr Princess Consort Wu, which is why he emphasized it again.
Upon hearing that Feng Bailing had also arrived, Dongfang Li’s face brightened up from gloom.
“You stupid thing, Princess Feng has arrived, why haven’t you let her in quickly?”
Dongfang Li was extrely pleased. Nobody would be happier than Dongfang Li with the coming of Feng Bailing and Dugu Wu’s separation.
When they last t in town, he had only seen Feng Bailing briefly without a detailed conversation. This ti, Feng Bailing had taken the initiative to look for him, which made Dongfang Li feel flattered. Could it be that Bailing was also aware of his heroic deeds, and had co to congratulate him?
Prince Mu by his side quickly spoke.
“Your Highness, this is a military camp and a critical area, assorted people cannot enter at will. If you rashly allow Miss Feng to co in, I’m afraid it may stir up gossip. Be careful of that person in the palace…”
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Li gave Prince Mu a glance.
He sneered and said.
“Prince Mu, since when did you beco Imperial Consort Dugu’s lapdog.”
Prince Mu’s old face remained unchanged; he asserted his point confidently.
“Seventh Prince, this old servant has good intentions as well.”
Prince Mu was an official under Emperor Yongye, and should be obeying Emperor Yongye entirely. However, with Emperor Yongye deeply affected by the matters involving Dugu Wu and having neglected court affairs for many days.
Although Emperor Yongye is the Emperor of Great Chu, in fact, Imperial Consort Dugu is the one who solely controls the court affairs.
Known for being an opportunist, Prince Mu’s Mansion, naturally, had to cling tightly to Imperial Consort Dugu now.
It’s unclear whether Imperial Consort Dugu and Prince Mu had communicated beforehand, but Prince Mu at this mont kept referring to Imperial Consort Dugu, which left Dongfang Li feeling quite uncomfortable.
“Seventh Prince, although the Beiqi Army has been defeated, they have not truly retreated back to Beiqi. It is said that Imperial Consort Dugu has even sent Feng Zhao’an to supervise the military affairs. If you act rashly before the border conflicts are settled, and Imperial Consort Dugu gets angry…”
Prince Mu wiped the sweat from his forehead as he persuasively spoke.
Since leaving Chu City, Dongfang Li had also been paying attention to the situation in Chu City.
He knew that other Princes had successively returned to Chu City, and apart from him and Ninth who had left Chu City due to circumstances, the other Princes in Chu City were fiercely struggling, and there were even plans for a revolt among them.
Should there be any upheaval among the other Princes, the ultimate benefactors would be him and Ninth.
However, Ninth was blind, which ant that the position of Crown Prince would ultimately fall on his own head, while the fate of the other Princes now was entirely in the hands of Imperial Consort Dugu.
Dongfang Li admired Feng Bailing, but he also knew that under such circumstances, it indeed wasn’t suitable to be overly close with Feng Bailing.
Enduring the temporary indignation, once the throne of Great Chu was in his hands, it wouldn’t be too late to build a good relationship with Feng Bailing.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Li changed his mind, and with a disheartened wave of his hand, he said.
“Prince Mu, your words are reasonable. Go and allow the Wu Family Sisters in. As for Princess Feng, she is but a woman and child, without military affairs to attend to, it is inappropriate for her to enter the military camp.”
