Chapter 40: The Crazy Soldier Does Not Get Arrogant

  To be strict, at this moment, it's not suitable to describe Ji Shengqin's skin as "snow white". The blush on her face had spread to her neck, a pink hue that made her look even more charming; tiny beads of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose, and her hands were clenched together in tension. Her big eyes darted back and forth, but she refused to look at Qian Buli, heaven knows whether she was hoping to find someone to help her escape this embarrassing situation or if she wanted Qian Buli to take it further.

  Money didn't leave, and Ji Shengqin's emotions became more and more tense. Money's gaze swept down, finding that the hem of Ji Shengqin's skirt was trembling slightly, but her feet were firmly rooted to the ground, without any signs of trying to escape. This was indeed the boundary between desire and refusal.

  Two faces almost stuck together, Qian Buli could clearly feel Ji Sheng's fragrant breath: "What are you afraid of?" Qian Buli asked with a smile.

  This sentence made Ji Sheng's emotions even more tense, she simply closed her eyes and waited for everything that was about to come.

  "You..."

  "Report!" A loud shout from outside the door interrupted Qian Budeli's reverie.

  "What's up?" Qian Buli hastily adjusted his emotions, and he could tell that the person outside the door was Wang Rui.

  The girl let out a sigh of relief, ran to a chair and sat down, fidgeting with her skirt, occasionally glancing at Qian Budie's gaze, which seemed to carry a hint of regret.

  "Your Excellency, there's something wrong with the situation on the Zhamukha side. Are our troops advancing according to the original plan?" Wang Rui did not come in, and Qian Buli also did not let him enter.

  "You go and observe first, I'll be right there." Qian Buli replied, turning his head to gaze at Ji Shengqing with a reluctant look, which startled Ji Shengqing into quickly turning away.

  "I'm leaving first." Qian Buli said with a word of instruction, turned around and walked out of the tent.

  "Be careful, don't leave."

  "Are you... talking to me?" Qian Buli once again displayed his talent for being a chatterbox.

  Ji Shengqing's first reaction was to pick up the teacup on the table and smash it at Qian Buli, but she mustered up her courage and squeezed out a concerned tone, "How can you be like this!" However... being a lady! Ji Shengqing struggled to control her emotions and remained silent. What Qian Buli said earlier was indeed incisive - people are better off wearing masks when interacting with others.

  "Should be talking to me?" Qian Buli's expression was serious, and he deliberately looked around: "There are only two of us here, if not talking to me, then who else?"

  The princess remained silent.

  "I didn't expect Your Highness to care about me so much, I'm truly grateful from the bottom of my heart!" Qian Buli's expression on his face was more like being caught off guard than being grateful.

  "You... you... " Killing someone is just a nod of the head, how can there be no money to part with such an annoying person?! Ji Shengqing's temper, no matter how good it was, couldn't be controlled anymore. Her eyes began to dart back and forth between the teacup and Qian Buli.

  Money saw through Ji Shengqing's plan at a glance, spare people when you can. If this continues, it may end in death before the battle is even won...

  "In fact, I'm really grateful to you." Qian Buli's expression changed, and with his sincere tone, it seemed full of deep meaning and lingering emotions.

  "You... you go quickly!" Ji Sheng's emotions were being cleverly manipulated by Qian Bu Li, causing her mood to fluctuate violently. She really couldn't bear it anymore.

  Money did not leave Ha ha smiled and walked out of the tent, at this moment the sky was already bright, the cavalry had joined the battle early, no need to prepare anything, and most of the infantry had a good sleep, were in high spirits and tidying up their own weapons.

  Qian Buli climbed up the watchtower, looked ahead and saw Jamukha leading his Kheshig riders wandering around the campsite. Logically, Jamukha should have gone to reorganize his own troops first and then look for opportunities to fight, but he seemed a bit too hasty. Qian Buli furrowed his brow and fell into deep thought.

  "It seems they're going all out, we've got a tough battle ahead of us today!" Wang Rui said in a low voice.

  "A bitter battle? Do you think Jamukha still has the guts to lead such a small number of people into a desperate fight?" Qian Buli sneered: "At most, he just wants to make a desperate attempt to gain some advantage and boost morale."

  "Sir, Zha Mu is cunning and full of tricks, I'm afraid..."

  "I have a plan." Qian Buli waved his hand: "The competition between the army and the war is nothing more than the heaven, the earth, and the harmony of man. Zha Muhe's lone army has been deeply invaded, and he has suffered consecutive defeats. His soldiers are almost gone, and he doesn't have the heaven, the earth, or the harmony of man! What can he use to fight us? Tricks are based on strength, what can he rely on? Just his 700 remaining imperial guards?" Qian Buli's voice grew louder and louder.

  "Your Excellency!" Wang Rui saw Qian Buli's complacent look and was shocked in his heart: "Your Excellency, you absolutely cannot..."

  "A clever wife cannot cook without rice! With that few people, Zha Muhe can't stir up any waves! On the contrary, this is a great opportunity given by heaven to our soldiers. Qian Buli patted Wang Rui's shoulder and lowered his voice: "Soldiers can be fierce, but generals must not be arrogant!"

  Wang Rui was taken aback, looking around at the soldiers on all sides of the arrow tower, who had all heard Qian Bu Li's words and were excitedly rubbing their fists and palms, waiting for a fight. Wang Rui suddenly understood something, silently praising him, and said no more.

  The soldiers were all prepared and started to depart in an orderly manner. Qian did not sit in the carriage this time, but instead rode a war horse and stood together with Du Bing, who was at the end of the troops.

  Money didn't have abundant troops on this side, after excluding the scouts that had to be sent out for reconnaissance and Qin Chong's cavalry squad which was overly exhausted and suffered significant casualties, only two medium-sized squads were left. Among them, Wang Rui still had to lead a medium-sized squad as vanguard, who knows if He Jiong would make a desperate move? Calculating the troops that could restrain Zha Muhe, there was only Du Bing's fully-staffed medium-sized squad, but one medium-sized squad only had about 300 people, and compared to the enemy, their strength differed greatly. Although he could call in support from the middle army's archery camp at any time, the outlook was still not optimistic, so Qian Buli decided that when Zha Muhe tried to launch an attack, he would use a thunderous method to scare him off! Of course, scaring people is a difficult technical task, and Qian Buli was secretly thinking about it...
