The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1731

Chapter 1731: 847 Victory! (Second Update)

Chu Feipeng looked down in disbelief, gazing at the long blade that had pierced his chest.

He never anticipated Xuanping Marquis’s speed to be so quick, and even less so that it would be a pair of twin blades.

Tang Yueshan’s heart pounded wildly, damn, just one move?

Actually, calling it one move wouldn’t be quite accurate; Xuanping Marquis allowed Chu Feipeng three moves, which should strictly count as well. He seemed passive but was actually observing intently.

There has never been a reward without effort, nor has there been an effortless victory; all come from thorough improvement, readying soldiers and horses.

From the moment Chang Jing and Chu Feipeng exchanged blows, Xuanping Marquis started observing and dissecting Chu Feipeng’s moves.

But that was from afar, inevitably missing some details, so he allowed him three more moves, closely monitoring each of Chu Feipeng’s moves.

He appeared to only attack once, yet earlier, on the war chariot, he’d long been rehearsing hundreds of moves with Chu Feipeng in his mind. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Tang Yueshan admired, "Old Xiao, you’re impressive!"

Xuanping Marquis stated candidly, "Chu Feipeng isn’t weak, he lost so quickly simply because of underestimating the enemy."

Tang Yueshan felt Xuanping Marquis’s words made sense, yet hearing such humble words from Xuanping Marquis, it seemed hard to believe, somehow?

Xuanping Marquis sincerely sighed, "If he weren’t so careless, maybe he could’ve held out... one more move against me."

Tang Yueshan: "..."

You can only choose face or life, is that it?

"Hiss—"

Xuanping Marquis suddenly sucked in a cold breath, bent down, supporting himself on the ground with a long blade, one hand holding his waist, "Oh my, my waist..."

Tang Yueshan twitched the corner of his mouth, can’t you look suave for more than three seconds?

Xuanping Marquis complained pitifully, "What are you standing around for? Get down here and help me up!"

Tang Yueshan pursed his lips, just about to jump off the war chariot, when suddenly, he saw Chu Feipeng, lying in a pool of blood, grabbing a fallen long sword and fiercely thrusting it toward Xuanping Marquis’s back!

Xuanping Marquis was caught off guard, tormented by the recurring back pain—

Tang Yueshan wanted to intervene but it was too late, the long sword had already thrust forward!

He turned pale with shock, screaming in alarm, "Old Xiao—"

...

Below the city tower, the Dayan forces and Hei Fengqi were still engaged in fierce battle, Hei Fengqi’s left wing suffering the heaviest casualties; cavalry and warhorses continuously falling, immediately replaced by new forces.

Tong Zhong returned after escorting Gu Jiao to the rear of Dayan’s forces but still could not turn the tide.

He had been struck three times, twice on the left leg, once on the abdomen, even his armor was pierced.

From the ongoing clashes, it seemed Dayan’s losses were more severe, but Dayan’s forces were larger; even with a loss ratio of three to one, they were the ones to survive till the end.

Tong Zhong swung his sword at a Dayan soldier again.

Unfortunately, he was spent; the strike barely injured the opponent.

The adversary merely staggered, immediately charging at Tong Zhong.

Tong Zhong lacked the strength to dodge the blow; he knew he couldn’t even lift his sword.

He was going to die.

Young Commander.

I might be heading off earlier.

I’ve had misunderstandings before, please don’t blame me.

You have to live well, lead Hei Fengqi to win this battle.

In the next life... let us fight side by side again.

Tong Zhong fell to the ground.

However, the Dayan soldier’s sword didn’t come down; Mu Qingchen swooped in and slain him!

Mu Qingchen lifted Tong Zhong up, protecting him while carving a bloody path out!

The once pristine First Young Master of Shengdu was now drenched in enemy blood; every strike a kill, leaving no room for the enemies’ survival.

In just a few days, the brutal battlefield had taught him a profound lesson—the mercy toward enemies is cruelty to companions.

The situation for Cheng Fugui and Li Jin wasn’t ideal either; Cheng Fugui had previously suffered injuries, although healed, a hundred days for bones and muscles—it left his left arm much weaker than before.

The central forces had long merged with the right-wing in combat.

Cheng Fugui and Li Jin protected each other as guardians.

Cheng Fugui panted, "The vanguard camp won’t last much longer..."

Li Jin swallowed, speaking with difficulty, "The assault camp is nearly done for too..."

If Dayan forces don’t retreat soon, Hei Fengqi will truly be finished!

Li Jin remarked, "Young Commander has gone to assassinate Dayan’s chief general... hopefully... she succeeds..."

Cheng Fugui replied, "But it’s been so long..."

Cheng Fugui didn’t finish his sentence, yet both knew it clearly.

They had seen Tong Zhong escort Gu Jiao to the rear of Dayan’s forces with their own eyes; calculating the time, it had been a stick of incense’s worth, assassinating someone shouldn’t take so long.
