Chapter 792: Doting On His Granddaughter, Showing Off His Granddaughter

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At the foot of a hill outside the barbican, the snow that should have been empty was filled with Leng Kui’s 2,000-strong army.

In a tent surrounded by the army, Leng Kui was having his first negotiation with the Northern Yan General opposite him.

Leng Kui said coldly, “General Tuoba, don’t you think your request is too much?”

Tuoba Lie sneered and said, “Since you want to negotiate, you have to show your sincerity? Why? Do you think the battlefield is run by your family and we won’t fight just because you say so? Are our 100,000-strong Northern Yan army playing with you?”

Leng Kui said in a low voice, “But you can’t ask for too much!”

Tuoba Lie smiled. “It’s fine if you don’t want to give up the barbican. Exchange

Qin Canglan’s head for it!”

Leng Kui said angrily, “You want me to kill Qin Canglan? Are you crazy or am I crazy?!

Tuoba Lie smiled slowly and said, “General Leng, why are you so agitated? Didn’t you want to kill Qin Canglan long ago? Lord Wu An is already dead. If anything happens to Qin Canglan, the position of the general of the army in the world will definitely be yours, right? Although there’s still the Marquis of Zhenbei, his body hasn’t been well for the past few years. He hasn’t gone to court for a long time. General Leng, do you want to take a gamble?”

Leng Kui glared at him. “You’re trying to sow discord within our Great Zhou!”

Tuoba Lie sneered. “Tsk tsk, General Leng, we’re all smart people. Why are you acting here? If you didn’t want Qin Canglan to die, will you take all the provisions and leave him hungry in Zi Town? It’s been four days and four nights. Why don’t we guess if Qin Canglan’s life is still intact?”

Leng Kui looked at him sternly and coldly.

Tuoba Lie smiled and said, “General Leng, I’ll only give you three days to consider. If you don’t cede these cities to Northern Yan in three days, our 100,000-strong army will flatten the barbican! We’ll kill every soldier in the surrounding passes!”

Leng Kui clenched his fists.

On the way back, Leng Kui rode his horse at the front. When he thought of Tuoba Lie’s conditions, his expression was a little solemn.

His trusted general rode his horse beside him and glanced at him. He asked, “General, are you worried that the Northern Yan army will attack the city in three days? We only have 50,000 troops. If I had known, I wouldn’t have given Qin Canglan and Su MO so many troops.”

Leng Kui said, “It’s fine. Dou Xiao still has military strength. Make a trip to Yao City and get Dou Xiao to bring his troops over.”

“Report! Report!”

A scout hurriedly blocked Leng Kui’s path.

Leng Kui frowned and glanced at him. “Did something happen in Barbican?” Didn’t they agree to attack in three days?

Three days was enough for him to gather the forces scattered in the various cities.

The scout said, “It’s not the barbican, it’s Yao City! General Dou was killed by someone!”

The trusted deputy general was stunned. “What! Who did it?”

The scout said, “Someone who claims to be Qin Canglan’s granddaughter.”

The trusted general frowned and said, “Nonsense. Qin Canglan’s granddaughter is in the capital! Someone must be impersonating her! She’s doing evil under the guise of the Protector Duke’s Estate!”

Leng Kui asked, “Where are Yao City’s troops?”

The scout whispered, “They were taken away…”

The trusted general said angrily, “What do you mean by being taken away? The scout trembled. “It’s just that… the soldiers ran away with her!”

The trusted general clenched his fists. “Damn it! That’s 3,000 troops! And 1,000 elites!”

Leng Kui asked coldly, “Where’s Cloud Water Town? Didn’t Quan Fei go to support them?”

“General Quan was also killed, and his soldiers were taken… There’s also County Magistrate Sun and General Zhang…”

At the end of the story, the scout did not have the guts to continue.

What was going on? That fake eldest daughter of the Qin family killed as she advanced, wiping out all the trusted aides of the Leng family and snatching all the soldiers.

What was worse was that those soldiers were all willing to run with her.

Leng Kui suppressed the surging anger in his heart. “Where are they now?” The scout said in fear, “It seems to be… going to Zi Town.”

His trusted general smiled and said, “Zi Town? General, don’t worry. They have at most 10,000 troops. Zi Town has 20,000 Northern Yan troops. They might have already fed them to the Northern Yan army!”

Zi Town.

The last corpse of the Northern Yan soldier had been transported away. The battlefield was finally cleaned up.

Liu Ren returned to report to Qin Canglan.

Qin Canglan said, “The Qin family’s army is about to arrive. Go to Liangshan tomorrow to receive them.”

Liu Ren was shocked. “Are they really coming? Isn’t it said that the Leng family won’t let them pass through the city?”

Qin Canglan said proudly, “It’s already resolved.”

Liu Ren asked, “No way? Who’s so powerful? Who killed those bastards from the Leng family?”

cun canglan naa a proua expression. ‘”MY granaaaugnter.”

In the afternoon, Qin Canglan brought Su Xiaoxiao to choose weapons.

“Your golden bow is not bad, but it’s only suitable for long-range attacks. You need a suitable weapon. Choose. These are all my private collection.”

Su Xiaoxiao looked around at the shelves on both sides that displayed all kinds of cold weapons.

She first picked a red tassel spear. Her third sister-in-law was good at spears and had taught her a little about spearmanship.

She tried to play a few moves. It felt good.

She put the red tassel spear back and picked a nine-section whip. Fourth Sister-in-law had taught her how to whip. The whip could attack and defend, and it was very agile. Its shortcoming was that it was not suitable for close combat.

She came to a row of saber racks again.

Qin Canglan introduced one to her. “It’s a ring-headed saber with a one-sided edge. It’s suitable for slashing.”

Su Xiaoxiao played two moves. Not bad.

In the end, Su Xiaoxiao’s gaze landed on a long sword that had been placed aside.

She took the sword and slowly unsheathed it. A sharp cold light flashed across the corners of her eyes.

Qin Canglan said, “The Heavenly Origin Sword is a sword created by the previous dynasty’s Martial Emperor. It’s three feet and three inches long and has two sides. It’s suitable for various sword techniques. The flaw is that it’s heavy.”

Su Xiaoxiao gestured a few times. “I like this weight.”

Qin Canglan recalled, “Wei Xu liked it back then too. I didn’t give it to him. He already has the Green Peak Sword. The sword of the Martial Emperor doesn’t share a master with other swords.”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded and looked at the sword in her hand. At first glance, it was nothing special. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. Qin Canglan continued, “Do you want to give your army a name too?”

This was tacit agreement that Su Xiaoxiao would lead the army herself.

Su Xiaoxiao thought about it seriously. “Red Shadow, my army is called the

Crimson Shadow Army!”

Qin Canglan smiled dotingly. “Okay!”

Su Xiaoxiao was very satisfied with the name she gave. “By the way, why isn’t

Eldest Cousin back yet? Should I go and receive him?”

Qin Canglan smiled and said, “There’s no need. Those rebels in Wan City are nothing. He can deal with them. I guess the reason why he hasn’t returned is that he must have found some news in Wan City. However, in a day or two, he and the Qin family’s army will arrive.”

Su Xiaoxiao twirled her sword. “That’s good.”

She had been waiting for this day for a long time.

When everyone was here, they could go to the barbican to kill Leng Kui and fight to the death with Northern Yan!
