Princess Shan Yu bit her lips tightly again. Even though she felt that something was amiss, she couldn't give a concrete reason. There was no other choice.
The Sagely Mountain City was surrounded.
The Crown Prince's orders had been given.
To save or not to save? To obey or to disobey!
She could not afford to hesitate any longer.
"Pass down the order, the entire army..." Princess Shan Yu suddenly stopped halfway through her sentence. Her jet-black gaze landed on Fang Zhengzhi, who had his eyes tightly shut in the middle of the conference tent.
All of the generals widened their eyes and pricked up their ears, waiting for Princess Shan Yu's orders.
"Fang Zhengzhi, you're awake?"
"Dong!"
One of the generals lost his balance and fell to the ground on his butt.
The other generals were also on the verge of collapsing. They were truly stunned by Princess Shan Yu's words. They never expected Princess Shan Yu to remain silent for so long.
How could such a sentence come out of his mouth?
Hang on!
Fang Zhengzhi was awake?!
Didn't that mean that he had heard everything that had just been discussed?
Kill!
A thought flashed across the minds of all the generals. However, this thought was quickly replaced by an intense shock. This was because, Princess Shan Yu's voice rang out once again.
"Fang Zhengzhi, stop pretending. I know you have been listening. If you are willing to share your thoughts, I will consider letting you go. What do you think?"
"Let him go?"
"Princess, how can we let him go?"
"Yes, Princess! He is from the Great Xia. If we let him spread the news, the Great Xia soldiers in the Icy Monkey Settlement will know that our Sagely Mountain City is surrounded. At that time, they will defend with all their might, or the Great Xia will take the opportunity to recapture the Stable Mountain Pass and send reinforcements. This … this war … "
All of the generals tried to stop Princess Shan Yu.
Princess Shan Yu did not speak. However, her jet-black eyes narrowed at this moment. Her gaze swept across the group of generals and her expression turned slightly cold.
All of the generals shut their mouths when they saw this.
The meeting camp instantly fell silent.
Fang Zhengzhi did not move at all. It was almost as if he had not heard Princess Shan Yu at all. Other than his steady breathing, he was like a dead man.
"He doesn't seem to be awake?"
"Princess, did you see wrongly?"
The generals were puzzled, but no one dared to make a sound.
"Fang Zhengzhi, open your eyes right now. If you continue to play dead, I will kill you right now!" Princess Shan Yu was rather angry after waiting for a moment.
Silence.
It was as silent as ever.
Of course, Fang Zhengzhi did not move.
All of the generals looked at each other in confusion. Fang Zhengzhi was clearly unconscious, how could the princess be so sure that he was awake?
"Alright, it seems like you're courting death!" Princess Shan Yu's eyes widened slightly. Her body moved, and she actually leapt up from her seat, landing in front of Fang Zhengzhi.
Then, Princess Shan Yu pulled out a sharp dagger from the belt on her thigh and pressed it against Fang Zhengzhi's throat.
"If you don't open your eyes, this princess will kill you!"
Silence.
It was still so quiet.
"Princess, the Sagely Mountain City is under siege. Furthermore, the Crown Prince has already given his orders. Why are you still asking for the opinion of an outsider?" One of the generals could not hold it in any longer.
"That's right, princess! Even if this kid really wakes up, can his opinion be better than ours? "Another general could not hold it in any longer.
"Do you think that if I give you five hundred Silver Horned Wolves, you will be able to take down the Thunderous Lion Settlement and capture fifty thousand Great Xia soldiers?" Princess Shan Yu looked at the two generals. However, the dagger in her hand was still pressed against Fang Zhengzhi's throat. At the same time, one of her thighs pressed against Fang Zhengzhi's chest.
It looked somewhat indecent.
However, none of the generals paid attention to this detail.
Because, they were all stunned by Princess Shan Yu's words. Just as Princess Shan Yu had said, they had long heard of Fang Zhengzhi's actions from Teng Shisheng. However, that didn't mean that...
Everyone would be convinced.
"That is because he is an examinee of the Great Xia. Furthermore, he borrowed the power of the Southern Mountain Range and used the princess' Cyan Stone Token, hence..." One of the generals hesitated for a moment before finally realizing the problem.
"Examinee of the Great Xia? Alright, what about the wind valley? The wind valley that hasn't been broken for hundreds of years, do you have a way to break it? "Princess Shan Yu didn't wait for the general to finish and continued.
Silence.
This time, nobody retorted.
Because, this was the truth, a truth that couldn't be refuted. A natural barrier that had existed in the Southern Mountain Range for hundreds of years had been broken by Fang Zhengzhi.
This was a miracle, a miracle that shook the Southern Mountain Range.
"Fang Zhengzhi, now that the Southern Mountain Range Imperial City is surrounded, I don't have time to waste with you. If you can help me get out of this, I will give you the title of... Tiger's Might General, how about that?" Princess Shan Yu gritted her teeth and threw out her conditions.
"Tiger's Might General?!"
"This... princess, this... how old is he?"
When the generals heard Princess Shan Yu's words, their faces were filled with disbelief. After all, the Tiger's Might General was a general in the army. In terms of rank, it was equivalent to a rank two civil official in the Great Xia Dynasty.
Silence.
It was still so quiet.
"Good, good good good … Fang Zhengzhi, you are very good! You don't even like the Tiger's Might General? Deputy Marshal! How about that? Deputy Marshal of the Southern Mountain Range, as long as you are loyal to the Southern Mountain Range, I will give you the position of Deputy Marshal! "Princess Shan Yu was visibly agitated. She was so agitated that her legs began to tremble.
When the generals heard Princess Shan Yu's conditions, they felt their legs turn to jelly.
Deputy Marshal?!
If this became a reality, then Fang Zhengzhi's name would not only resound throughout the Southern Mountain Range, it would resound throughout the entire continent.
A 16 year old Deputy Marshal.
There was no one else like him in the entire continent.
However …
It was completely useless.
In the meeting tent, other than Princess Shan Yu's roaring and her intense breathing, there was no other sound.
"Pass down my order, the entire army is to move towards the Sagely Mountain City! Also … throw this guy out to feed the wolves! "Princess Shan Yu could not take it anymore.
"Roger!" All of the generals obeyed.
At this moment, a lazy voice came from below Princess Shan Yu's thighs, breaking the solemn atmosphere.
"Hang on, it's not that I don't want to wake up. Your highness, your conditions are not attractive at all. How do you expect me to wake up?"
Silence.
Once again, there was silence.
However, unlike the previous few times, after the silence, all eyes were focused on Fang Zhengzhi who was tied up tightly on the stretcher.
"My conditions are not attractive?"
"Is he saying that the princess' conditions are not attractive?!"
"Deputy Marshal, he actually said that? Does he want to be the king?! "
All of the generals were infuriated. To them, Fang Zhengzhi's words were an insult to their ideals.
"Wait a minute, could he be thinking of..." One of the generals suddenly saw Princess Shan Yu and his expression froze. Then, he subconsciously blurted out, "No, he definitely can't do that! Your highness, you cannot agree to marry him! "
"Marry him?" Princess Shan Yu's expression froze. She looked at Fang Zhengzhi, who was being pressed down by her thighs, and a perplexed look flashed across her jet-black eyes.
This guy is so shameless …
How can I marry someone like him?
However, even though this fella is shameless, he is proficient in the Law of Dao. If he is willing to pledge his loyalty to the Southern Mountain Range, then our understanding of the Law of Dao will definitely improve. Furthermore, this fella is skilled in the art of war. Furthermore, he has already reached the Supernatural State at the age of 16.
Furthermore, if he really becomes the Deputy Marshal of the Southern Region in the future, if he can't remain loyal to the Southern Region, it will be a huge problem for us.
Otherwise …
"Pfft! My wife must be gentle and virtuous. She must take care of her husband and children. She must also know how to manage the household. A barbaric princess like her, I will not … "Fang Zhengzhi stopped halfway through his sentence.
This was because he could clearly feel the knife pressing down on his neck. The sharp pain made him quickly shut his mouth.
All of the generals around him widened their eyes.
They only had one thought in their minds. That was, Fang Zhengzhi was definitely dead. Furthermore, he must have died a horrible death.
But in reality, after waiting patiently for a full 15 minutes, Fang Zhengzhi was still alive. However, there was a wound on his neck …
It was a wound that was healing rapidly.
"Supernatural State!"
"This guy has really reached the Supernatural State?!"
"A 15 year old Supernatural State. I never thought that it would be true!"
Even though all of the generals had heard from Teng Shisheng that Fang Zhengzhi might have reached the Supernatural State, that was just a possibility.
A possibility and actually seeing it were two completely different things.
Princess Shan Yu's dagger stopped moving. Her jet-black eyes stared fixedly at Fang Zhengzhi, who was below her. She bit her lips so hard that a trace of blood seeped out.
If not for the fact that she could not see through Yun Qingwu's plan, if not for the fact that she had no other choice, if not for the Southern Region, she would not have let Fang Zhengzhi blink.
Hang on …
Why is this guy blinking?
