Chapter 2041: Chapter 23: The Fight Erupts

Just when Wufu settled in Wozi Village, far away at the North Mountain Camp, Ah Jiu looked solemnly at the officers and subordinates seated before him.

Continuous, relentless travel had caused his face to thin considerably, his eyes fiercer and colder, casting a frigid gleam as his gaze swept across.

"...No news at all?" Ah Jiu’s handsome face was icy.

Eight days had passed, and she had been missing for eight days. Groups had been sent out one after another to search, yet there was no news.

The people seated bowed their heads one after another.

Ah Jiu felt a sweetness in his throat, and he forcefully pinched his side to swallow down the sweetness with effort.

"Where’s Han Feng?" He looked towards one of the officers on the lower right.

"Still no news."

Bang!

Ah Jiu slammed the table hard, causing a crack to appear on the wooden table; everyone knelt down in unison.

Glancing coldly at everyone, Ah Jiu took a deep breath twice, paced back and forth a couple of steps, and said, "How is the current battle situation, still deadlocked? Get up and respond!"

The group exchanged glances, stood up, and began reporting the current battle situation.

Half a day later, Ah Jiu’s anger flared up again, and he said coldly, "So without the Princess Consort, you have no backbone and can’t make a move? Don’t you know that as winter approaches, prolonging the war does us no good at all?"

"Calm your anger, my lord." The generals knelt down again.

"Map." Ah Jiu called out coldly, and someone spread out the map on the table. He examined it carefully by the light, then moved to the sand table, and after a long while, pointed to a certain mountain pass: "What place is this?"

"It’s the Uninhabited Valley."

Ah Jiu took an arrow and drew a line on the Uninhabited Valley, saying, "General Cheng, you take ten thousand troops and attack from here. General Chen, you carry out a flanking attack with General Cheng from this valley..."

He issued several orders in succession, and finally said, "Before winter arrives, the army must capture the entire Shu region. Otherwise, how can the army withstand the winter?"

The terrain of the Shu region is high, with many mountains. Winter comes quickly, and once the cold weather and heavy snow set in, the army can’t endure it.

"Yes!" ree

The crowd retreated, and Ah Jiu sat down wearily, rubbing his temples with both hands, his eyes closed.

It’s not that he doesn’t worry about Wufu, but no matter how concerned he is, he cannot abandon the whole army for the sake of one person. Mixing public and private matters is a major taboo for those in high positions.

"My lord." Yuan Ye walked in and said, "Han Feng has been found."

Ah Jiu stood up swiftly and walked out of the tent, immediately seeing Master Gui coming over with a weary face, followed by several people.

Seeing Ah Jiu, Master Gui paused, and just as he stopped, Ah Jiu rushed up without a word and punched him in the face.

With one punch, blood immediately flowed from Master Gui’s nose, and the people behind him were about to step forward.

"Do not move." Master Gui commanded coldly, and the people behind stopped, some with anxious expressions.

Ah Jiu continued to punch, and Master Gui did not evade, enduring several punches from Ah Jiu.

"Bastard, how dare you, how could you face... bastard!" Ah Jiu cursed as he punched, wanting to vent the resentment in his heart.

Master Gui endured it, but just as Ah Jiu was about to strike his chest, he finally raised his hand to block, and began to fight back.

Ah Jiu sneered, "Can’t bear it anymore?"

Seeing Master Gui start to fight back, he struck even more ruthlessly, each punch landing solidly.

Master Gui was not a coward, and his skills were not poor; he began to trade blows with Ah Jiu.

"What right do you have to hit me? While she was pregnant, working so hard for you in Beiyan, where the hell were you?" Master Gui roared in anger.

Ah Jiu’s body stiffened, his eyes took a punch, causing him to stagger a few steps.
