Chapter 366: You Are Miss Gu?

“Well deserving of a Saint!” Chen Chong looked at him with profound admiration, his attitude extremely deferential.

On the battlefield, a Saint was the ultimate weapon.

In fact, most Saints didn’t appear on the battlefield.

On one hand, their destructive power was immense, capable of claiming thousands of lives with a single strike. If both sides deployed Saints for victory, the casualties would be devastating, rendering ordinary soldiers almost insignificant. Therefore, the general practice was to adhere to this rule, only using Saints when facing the imminent threat of a nation’s destruction. Saints were usually stationed in the rear to deter neighboring countries.

On the other hand, Saints held a prestigious status, and the Emperor’s decrees didn’t wield much influence over them.

No emperor dared to give orders to a Saint. Pissing off a Saint was enough to make a ruler cry.

Chen Chong couldn’t fathom how Young Master Yun had managed to enlist the Saint Yin Qing’s assistance, and that he was willing to engage in battle.

Yin Qing tossed Li Tianhao in front of Xiao Jingye and raised his chin slightly, saying, “Young Master Yun, I’ve brought you the man. Handle it as you see fit.”

Xiao Jingye clapped his hands and laughed heartily. “SaintYin Qing is truly exceptional!”

Li Tianhao was immobilized, unable to move, and he raised his head to look coldly at the young man in the white armor before him. “Despicable!”

“I’ve heard that Lord Li has seen countless battles on the field. Are you suggesting you’re unfamiliar with basic tactics like deception? Moreover, our attack is straightforward and honorable. There are no hidden schemes involved. Is it possible that someone as experienced as Lord Li, who’s been a War God for so long, can’t come to terms with defeat?” Xiao Jingye asked with a mocking smile, his eyes filled with disdain.

Li Tianhao puffed out his cheeks. “Do you know what I’m referring to? Saints are not allowed to participate in conflicts between nations; it’s an unwritten rule. Don’t you know?”

“Oh? Who established this rule? I’m not aware of it! In my eyes, there’s only victory and defeat,” Xiao Jingye said with a sly grin.

At this moment, a furious roar came from the city tower, prompting the Dingbei Army to quickly release Li Tianhao.

Xiao Jingye asked in astonishment, “Are all Chengyuan people so naive?”

“Are you not a Chengyuan citizen?!” Li Tianhao’s eyes emitted piercing light as he stared intently at Xiao Jingye, as if trying to see through his mask.

Xiao Jingye didn’t show a hint of panic that might reveal his identity. He smiled at him and then looked up at Song Chongliang on the city tower. “If you want Lord Li to return safely, trade him for Gu Qingluan. Otherwise, I’ll use Li Tianhao’s head to decorate my banner!”

With that, he signaled for someone to place a blade at Li Tianhao’s neck.

“Despicable!”

“So vile!”

The Imperial Guards on the city tower, witnessing this scene, were seething with anger.

The Dingbei Army was truly despicable!

“General Song, what should we do now? That’s Lord Li!”

The Li family was one of the four major families in Chengyuan, and Li Tianhao was not only a War God but also the current head of the Li family.

If anything happened to Lord Li, it would surely cause chaos in Tianjing City.

“Quick, go find Gu Qingluan!”

“Huh? Are we really going to do that? Miss Gu is so powerful; how can we capture her?”

Song Chongliang rolled his eyes impatiently. “Who told you to capture her? I want you to invite her here! As for what she does after she arrives—whether she comes to apologize or goes out to kill those Dingbei scoundrels—it’s not our call!”

“Oh, I see now! General, you’re truly wise!”

As the soldier turned to leave to find someone from the Jun Residence, he saw two individuals descending from the sky.

“Who are you?”

“I’m Gu Qingluan,” she replied.

“You’re Gu… Gu…”

Song Chongliang suddenly turned around, his eyes lighting up as he saw Gu Qingluan, dressed neatly. “Are you really Miss Gu? Hurry, Lord Li has been captured by the enemy’s Saint.. Now, only you can save him!”
