Reborn to Become A Queen: The Real Heiress's Comeback-Chapter 222 Zhan Lan: "Can we still battle until dawn now?

Chapter 222: Chapter 222 Zhan Lan: "Can we still battle until dawn now?

"I’m unreasonable, and what are you going to do about it!"

Bang!

Liu Chuang punched Huang Gun in the face, rendering Huang Gun’s eyes unfocused as he collapsed to the ground.

Zhan Lan and Xiao Chen both turned their gazes toward Liu Chuang.

Liu Chuang burst into laughter, "You greenhorn! You’ve never been to war, and you dare to act arrogantly in front of me!"

"Ha-ha-ha....." Laughter ensued from the surroundings.

Zhan Lan looked at Liu Chuang with cold eyes and said, "Vice General Liu, you’ve gone too far!"

Liu Chuang, with a lick of his cheek with his tongue, said, "Miss Zhan, waging war isn’t just talk. What’s the use of bringing these effeminate soldiers here? Look at these green recruits, still waiting for your training. I think it’s better to leave them to me!"

Zhan Lan followed the direction Liu Chuang was pointing and saw the new soldiers in the cold wind, holding a jar with both hands, standing in a horse stance.

They watched nervously over at their side, not daring to move an inch.

Zhan Lan sneered, "You’ve struck my man. I don’t think it’s too much for me and Vice General Liu to exchange three moves, is it?"

Liu Chuang stroked his chin, sizing up Zhan Lan from head to toe. Even in men’s clothing, it was easy to see her fine figure.

How could such a beautiful woman lead troops into battle? He just couldn’t believe it.

Moreover, she was far too arrogant. Just three moves—Zhan Lan was probably worried she wouldn’t last past three moves against him!

Liu Chuang grinned viciously, "Fine! Forget three moves, I’d be willing to battle Miss Zhan until dawn! Ha-ha-ha..."

Liu Chuang’s men burst into another round of raucous laughter.

"Let me do it..." Xiao Chen’s expression was already icy to the bone as he spoke beside Zhan Lan.

Zhan Lan interjected to stop him. She had led soldiers in war for many years and knew that some of these soldiers were from bandit backgrounds, some were driven by poverty, and others were desperados. Their identities were complex and of low stature.

It was common for men in the military to indulge in coarse talk, but as the Deputy General, for Liu Chuang to humiliate her like this was a clear sign of disrespect and provocation.

However, if today she were to let Liu Chuang mock her twice without resistance, she would command no respect in the military henceforth.

In the Zhan Family, for the sake of long-term considerations and out of concern for her grandparents and parents, she could temporarily restrain her personality.

But the battlefield was where she excelled. Today, faced with insult, she must crush her opponent in one go to set an example!

Zhan Lan extended her hand toward Liu Chuang, with a fierce look on her face, "Let’s begin!"

Liu Chuang said with a sly smile, "Alright!"

The next moment, Zhan Lan delivered a flying kick straight at Liu Chuang’s face. Liu Chuang only saw darkness before his eyes, and with a sour nose, a bloodied tooth flew out.

The frozen ground was instantly stained with a patch of blood.

The old soldiers, who were about to cheer, also let go of their excited hands.

Liu Chuang staggered several steps backward; wiping the blood from his face, he looked at Zhan Lan with furious eyes.

He had intended to take it easy with a little girl, play around with Zhan Lan a bit, and then, with a bear hug and a back slam, he would pin her down and humiliate her.

But he hadn’t anticipated the strength and speed of Zhan Lan’s strike.

Liu Chuang’s hefty fists swung at Zhan Lan, who swiftly dodged and delivered a heavy kick to his back.

Liu Chuang lost his balance, crashing to the ground and rolling several meters away.

Soldiers were shocked, some couldn’t help but laugh out loud, Liu Chuang got up in embarrassment and anger; previously taking his enemy lightly, he finally got serious and started to cross fists with Zhan Lan.

But after a dozen moves, he hadn’t gained any advantage.

Liu Chuang was furious, swinging his fists and attacking Zhan Lan, who dodged and struck Liu Chuang’s temple hard with her left fist.

Liu Chuang’s head turned pitch black in an instant from the heavy hit.

Seeing him stagger unsteadily, Zhan Lan withdrew her offensive and said with an oppressive tone, "You lost!"

"Xiao Chen, take Huang Gun back to the camp," Zhan Lan said, her voice cold.

In Liu Chuang’s eyes, Zhan Lan’s figure overlapped in front of him; the surrounding soldiers’ discussions and the barely discernible sneers made his cheeks burn with humiliation. Zhan Lan actually made him lose face in front of so many people.

Unwilling to accept this, Liu Chuang prepared to sneak attack Zhan Lan from behind.

Zhan Lan spun around rapidly and kicked out, and the next moment, Liu Chuang was in intense pain, clutching his groin and curling into a ball.

Old soldiers watching suddenly felt a pain in their own groins; that kick was not light, and they speculated that Liu Chuang would no longer be able to happily visit brothels.

Zhan Lan’s eyes were icy as she sneered, "Vice General Liu, are you okay? Why are you standing with your legs clamped like a brothel sister? Can you still fight valiantly until dawn?"

"Ha ha ha..." Now it was the turn of all the new soldiers to laugh.

Their view of Zhan Lan had changed; they had been unhappy about having to follow a female deputy general and continue to endure Liu Chuang’s bullying, but now they felt extremely satisfied.

Liu Chuang’s face was ashen with pain, and he was sweating profusely, with no time to reprimand Zhan Lan. He looked at the old soldiers who were frightened by Zhan Lan’s strength and said, "Quickly... go get the military doctor!"

Zhan Lan looked indifferent, addressing Liu Chuang’s subordinates, "From now on, if any of you dares to bully my people, no matter who, I, Zhan Lan, will not forgive lightly!"

The old soldiers looked at each other; who would dare to harbor designs against her or speak ill of her now? Zhan Lan was so fearsome, even disregarding Liu Chuang; they wouldn’t dare!

Zhan Lan knew human nature well; in a place where the Emperor is far away, you cannot show kindness to those who bully you, nor can you wait passively; you must retaliate forcefully immediately.

If you are a bit stronger than others, they may envy you.

If you are much stronger than them, they can only look up and fear you!

This was the truth Zhan Lan gradually realized after suffering in her previous life in the army and climbing step by step to the position of Main General!

Here, only fists and savvy speak; nothing else matters!

Zhan Lan stood there straight and tall, the red ribbon in her hair fluttering along with her black locks in the wind, looking heroic and bold.

She turned to the new soldiers in training and said, "Everyone admires the strong. If you don’t want to be bullied, strive to be strong yourself! Did you hear me?"

"Yes!" The new soldiers were motivated by Zhan Lan. Her gaze was resolute, never submitting to the provocation of men taller than herself, even defeating them.

Zhan Lan looked at them, her voice laden with gravity, "Haven’t had your meal?"

"Yes!" The new soldiers’ shouts were neat and powerful, reverberating throughout Heifeng Pass.

Sitting in the main camp, Bai Qi was wiping his war spear when he heard such a loud voice. He glanced at the young deputy general who had just walked in and casually asked, "Xie Yu, is that the voice of the new soldiers?"

Xie Yu replied with a smile, "Reporting to the Main General, just now Liu Chuang verbally challenged Zhan Lan, who has just arrived at the camp, and even attacked her subordinate, Huang Gun. As a result..."

Bai Qi’s eyes pressed down with a sternness as he looked at Xie Yu and said, "Stop beating around the bush, out with it!"
