Balancing on one shoulder, Gu Chaoyan moved with the agility of a swallow.

In no time, she returned.

Despite the darkness, Southern Mist’s soldiers and generals patiently awaited her arrival.

Upon seeing their dedication, Gu Chaoyan couldn’t help but feel touched. She gently lowered the man from her shoulder and explained, “I managed to seize two of Chengqi’s generals, but I couldn’t defeat him, so I returned.”Novel Fire - novelfire.net

“These two alone could prove valuable assets for us.”

“Put them away for now and get some rest. We’ll discuss our strategy tomorrow,” Gu Chaoyan casually suggested.

Her nonchalant tone left the Southern Mist soldiers wide-eyed in astonishment.

This was the first time they had followed such a fearless and capable general. It seemed as if there was nothing they needed to do; she had handled everything effortlessly.

In a single swoop, she had captured two generals who once struck fear into the hearts of Southern Mist’s soldiers.

And now, they were being told to get some sleep.

Sleep?

It was an unexpected turn of events.

After the two captives were secured, the soldiers dispersed.

The following day, everyone was revitalized and enjoyed a hearty breakfast.

Only then did they gather in a leisurely manner.

Gu Chaoyan approached with a general in each hand and challenged, “Are you still thinking of fighting? Let Southern Mist be the first to touch these two generals’ necks.”

“What!” Chengqi’s soldiers murmured to one another in disbelief.

Earlier that morning, they had discovered the disappearance of their two generals but were clueless about the situation. Now, they found the missing generals in the hands of Southern Mist.

Panic and confusion swept through Chengqi’s ranks.

Losing three generals in quick succession was a grave concern. How could they dare to plunge recklessly into a war now?

“What’s your condition for releasing our general?” The lone Martial Warrior general in Chengqi inquired.

“That depends on how sincere you are,” Gu Chaoyan replied with a smile.

Without hesitation, Chengqi withdrew his troops.

Thus, Gu Chaoyan departed with her forces.

The deputy general posed a peculiar question, “Should we cease fighting now?”

Gu Chaoyan playfully knocked him on the head. “What are you thinking? Do you honestly believe you can defeat him?”

While it was acceptable to use their numerical advantage for intimidation, a direct confrontation was beyond their capabilities.

Was he challenging the general to a fight?

“I can’t beat him,” the deputy general admitted gloomily.

“Then what’s the point of discussing it further? Don’t you think winning is enough? Do you want to court defeat again?” Gu Chaoyan retorted.

“No, I don’t.”

“Then take these two captives back and collect the rewards. Don’t get yourself into trouble,” Gu Chaoyan advised bluntly.

“Yes, yes, yes.”

Gu Chaoyan ceased speaking when she noticed his complete compliance.

He hoisted the two generals onto his shoulders and departed.

The two captured generals, humbled by their predicament, couldn’t even muster the courage to look up.

Once they had set things right,

Gu Chaoyan commenced her arrangements.

Recognizing that the border had a shortage of troops, she assigned additional soldiers to remain at the border while some accompanied her back.

These soldiers found it to be the oddest and easiest battle they had ever experienced. It didn’t feel like they had won the battle without exerting any effort; instead, it felt like a monumental victory.

Such an extraordinary turn of events was unlikely to recur.

General Shen would need to pay regular visits in the future.

Gu Chaoyan asked Lady You to provide some herbs for the soldiers to have when needed, a gesture that Lady You could later call upon for a favor.

This would undoubtedly serve Lady You well in the future.
