Murong Fu instantly reacted to her words, shouting loudly, “Devious woman, what kind of tricks did you play to attract the wolves over and bewitch everyone?”
Hearing those words, the men immediately regained their senses, but they were still afraid of the huge pack of wolves and also taken away by Jun Xiqing’s beauty.
When Jun Xiqing stopped blowing the flute, she was still sitting on the back of the wolf as she gave Murong Fu a condescending sneer. “General Murong, if you’re insistent of capturing me, I promise it’s going to be a catastrophe today. I must remind you that I’m just a nobody. Since your aim is to capture West Duke, why don’t we work together? You can capture the one you’ve always been after, then I can leave.”
Murong Fu sneered, his eyes glinted ambitiously. “Do you actually think… I’ll let a wolf whisperer away?”
A smirk appeared on Jun Xiqing’s face. “Seems like we don’t need to discuss any further.”
The atmosphere was stifling and tense.
In her heart, Jun Xiqing actually felt some uncertainty. Although wolves were one of the most ferocious animals, she still wasn’t that confident yet. She hadn’t trained them yet and hadn’t built a Wolf Iron Steed Troop yet. If they were to fight now, there was a high possibility that she wouldn’t be able to leave.
What should she do?
The cogs in her mind were going at a mile a second.
A deep magnetic voice resounded into her ears. “General Murong, you’re looking for me?”
Jun Xiqing was stunned, lifting her eyes to look, it was Lu Yeming!
Lu Yeming had come!
Striding over, Lu Yeming was clad in black and seemed to come out of the darkness. He was calm and collected, exuding a dignified aura.
When she saw him, Jun Xiqing’s pupils contracted. He hadn’t escaped? Why didn’t he leave?
She looked over, Lu Yeming was followed by an army. It was the Wuling Iron Steed Troop.
She instantly figured everything out.
So it wasn’t Murong Fu who set a trap today, it was Lu Yeming instead!
Murong Fu wasn’t slow-witted, he figured it out as well. “West Duke, you were playing along just to set another trap!”
The corners of Lu Yeming’s lips kicked up. “If I don’t do that, how am I going to lure you here and kill two birds with one stone. Why would I miss the opportunity to obtain the Red Spider Lily and General Murong?”
Jun Xiqing was awed. The more she was in contact with this man, the more she knew about him. He really was manipulative and shrewd. He had never stopped in his tracks, even once, on this political journey.
Those eyes of his were filled with ambition.
Murong Fu was stunned, he looked at Murong Ling, who was behind Lu Yeming. “Ling’er, how dare you help an outsider?”
Murong Ling looked at his father. “Father, please stop committing one mistake after another. West Duke has promised to not kill you.”
“You! You unfilial child!” Murong Fu berated him angrily before he sneered again in contempt, “West Duke, you’ve only brought a steed troop with you. I have an entire army of soldiers behind me, we don’t know who’s the winner yet.”
This was a restricted area in the Palace, Lu Yeming couldn’t bring an army of soldiers in, only the Wuling Iron Steed Troop could accompany him. Comparing the Wuling Iron Steed Troop to an army of soldiers, they were still at a disadvantage.
But Lu Yeming only raised his brows, his eyes on Jun Xiqing’s beautiful face. “Qingqing, I’m going to hand the Wuling Iron Steed Troop over to you. Are you capable of combining them with the wolves, making a Wolf Iron Steed Troop?”
Jun Xiqing smiled, letting out a chuckle. “West Duke, so it turns out I’m merely a pawn in your game.”
Ye Ruge wasn’t feeling unwell at all, he just chose not to take Ye Ruge with him. He had planned to bring her into the Palace for a long time.
He couldn’t bring an army into the Palace and only took the Wuling Iron Steed Troop with him. For the Wuling Iron Steed Troop to win the battle against Murong Fu’s army of soldiers, the crux was her.
After all, she had an ancient skill and was a wolf whisperer. Moreover, he was sure that she would take Sister Mo’er into account and offer her help.
This man was really manipulative.
“West Duke, if I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have saved you. I should have just let you die.”
The corners of Lu Yeming’s mouth raised even more, he couldn’t help but be reminded of… the kiss earlier. Those supple lips, her jelly-like tongue that moved around in his mouth, she clearly was inexperienced and shy.
Thinking on it, his Adam’s apple bobbed, looking at her, and with a sexy, husky voice, he said, “When Mo’er was drugged with an aphrodisiac previously, you used your blood as an antidote right?”
“West Duke, since you already know the answer, why do you still ask?”
Lu Yeming raised his brows. She had already given herself away without knowing it with Mo’er’s incident previously, he had already realized she had some secret.
Her blood was immune to all the poisons on earth.
Lu Yeming glanced at her. “Your blood doesn’t work with the AR?”
Shaking her head, Jun Xiqing replied, “AR isn’t a form of poison, I tried it long ago, it doesn’t work on Sister Mo’er.”
Lu Yeming didn’t continue with that topic. “I’ll hand the Wuling Iron Steed Troop to you. Qingqing, this is your first battle. If you win, you’re going to own an invincible troop. I’m sure you wouldn’t refuse, isn’t that right?”
Grr… Jun Xiqing cursed the man in her heart. He really was a crafty fox, using her as a pawn and to think he even wanted her to be grateful towards him.
But she would never refuse.
Clutching the flute tightly till her palms were all sweaty, she had to combine the wolves and the humans to train a Wolf Iron Steed Troop. This was her first battle.
The day would eventually come when she would lead the Wolf Iron Steed Troop and claim back sovereignty over Country Z.
Placing the flute in front of her lips, Jun Xiqing began to blow against it.
Almost as if they were enchanted, the wolves started acting according to the melody of the flute, they lowered their stance and the Wuling Iron Steed Troop followed rode on their backs.
Howl~
A strong, melancholy battle song started to echo through the skies. Jun Xiqing straightened her back, her eyes gleaming and she couldn’t hide the astuteness in her eyes.
Who claimed that women could never do as well as men?
Jun Xiqing reigned on the battlefield!
She was so stunning, one just couldn’t take their eyes off of her. Lu Yeming placed his arms behind his back, his gaze on Jun Xiqing’s face. Hadn’t he said it? Yes, he liked her, she really deserved his attention.
Even now she made his eyes glint, she was really stunning and he couldn’t take his eyes off of her.
Who wasn’t a fan of such a talent?
She was not only beautiful but also extremely capable.
“Charge!”
Ah Da’s voice pierced through the howls, the wolves’ eyes glinting ferociously as they charged towards Murong Fu’s army.
It was complete pandemonium.
Murong Fu’s army was completely caught at a loss, they were annihilated without a chance.
Humans weren’t as aggressive and explosive as animals. These wolves were too formidable, they were able to frighten the army of soldiers into surrender even before attacking them.
“Master, I’ve captured Murong Fu!”
Fan Men forced Murong Fu to kneel on the ground.
They had won.
It was a won battle, a decisive victory.
Jun Xiqing put away her flute, remaining on the wolf’s back as she looked at Lu Yeming from above. “West Duke, congratulations in your advance on becoming the new ruler!”
Since Murong Fu had lost, the Palace was now his. Lu Yeming was going to rule the world soon.
When Lu Yeming lifted his eyes, Jun Xiqing had already disappeared.
