Strongest Eccentric Consort-Chapter 727: Could It Be

Chapter 727: Could It Be…

After that incident, apart from during times of travel, Crown Prince Yu, Lou Qianxue, and Dan Taiyuan hardly showed up in front of other soldiers.

All 20,000 soldiers were completely convinced that Lou Qianxue was just someone who had gotten her way with her beauty.

In the beginning, the young people who took part in the martial arts competition tried to speak up, but it only drew tongue-lashing from the others. Thus, these youngsters decided to be mute while still feeling a sense of indignation. They believed that Miss Lou would give these soldiers a shock of their lives one day!

After half a month on the road, the troop finally arrived at the border and Liang city.

Liang city was built using huge slabs of cold marble. The city was protected by towering high walls more than a hundred meters tall.

Standing in front of the city wall and looking up could instantly overwhelm a person with a majestic and solemn sense of aggression.

“This is Liang city… I hastily passed by Lin city in my two previous visits and didn’t expect Liang City to be so exceptional.”

Both Liang city and Lin city bordered the Tian Zhao Empire and the Nandu Nation. Other than these two cities, a huge forest also stood between the two countries. This forest was called “Misty forest.” It was where Lou Qianxue and Dan Taiyuan had stayed when she had learned inscriptions from him.

The 20,000-strong troops arrived in front of the city.

An expert immediately yelled from the top of the city wall. “Who is there? What do you plan with so many people gathered here?”

Zhen Guogong’s face turned cold and slightly peeved. “Crown Prince Yu has arrived with 20,000 reinforcement soldiers. Quickly open the gates!”

“Crown Prince? Present your proof of identity!”

“You! You better look carefully. I am Zhen Guogong! I was stationed at Liang city for more than ten years. It’s impossible to fake anything about this!”

Proof? Proof my ass!

Who would joke around with 20,000 soldiers?

Who would dare to impersonate the Crown Prince?

“Oh, it’s Zhen Guogong. I didn’t see clearly just now. Please excuse me. Since it’s Zhen Guogong, then your words must be true. Open the gate, and welcome the Crown Prince!”

Chu Pengfei’s body shook from the rage. “Father, why is this rascal guarding the gate. Where is Brother?”

Zhen Guogong’s expression became grave. “When I was stationed here for many years, Liu Mansheng, the assistant general subordinate to me, never got along with me. Four years ago, when I was badly injured, your brother was not experienced enough. Therefore, Liu Man was promoted… I’m afraid Cheng’er has suffered in Liang city for the past few years.”

Whoosh!

Rage filled Chu Pengfei’s eyes. “D*mn the Liu family!”

Zhen Guogong frowned and berated his son. “Be careful of what you say!”

Lou Qianxue and Dan Taiyuan rode on a horse together. She rested her body on Dan Taiyuan’s embrace and looked up at the city; displeasure flashed across her eyes.

“Master Guogong.” She turned to ask Zhen Guogong. “Who is this Liu Mansheng? How dare his subordinates be so arrogant?”

“Sigh.” Zhen Guogong sighed. “General Liu is the Third Prince’s maternal grandfather. The Liu Army and our Chu Army are the two trump armies of Liang city. Previously, when I was stationed here, our Chu family was superior to Liu family. We enjoyed fame all over the empire, and were named the family of the ‘God of War’. However, four years ago, I got badly injured. My eldest son Chu Pengcheng was inexperienced to succeed me, which led to the Liu family taking over the position of our Chu family. On top of that, he has a special identity. That’s why he’s like this to the Crown Prince…”

Zhen Guogong did not elaborate further, but Lou Qianxue already understood. “I see.”

Seems like this would be a tough battle.

Unrest coming both internally and externally… Luckily, I’m prepared.

However…

“Master Guogong, are the Chu Army and the Liu armies the only two main influences in the Liang city army?”

“That was the case a few years ago… However, two years ago, two brothers suddenly emerged. Both of them have unique physiques, and their cultivation levels are high. They stood out in the army and quickly garnered support in the army with their formidable cultivation. They formed another influence of their own. Now, their faction seems to show signs of being on par with the Chu Army and the Liu Army…”

Two years ago? Two brothers? Unique physiques?

Lou Qianxue thought of something.

Could it be…
