"General Li! General Li! What should we do now? What should we do?!"

The deputy general next to him kept calling Li Nian's name, but strangely, General Li was still sitting on the horse without moving, his eyes were dull, as if he had never expected any countermeasures!

Seeing that another thousand-person infantry formation was broken, the Bishui Kingdom had lost nearly 16,000 people in this battle, but the opponent's cavalry formation had only a few hundred casualties, and the situation was becoming increasingly dangerous!

"General Li, what's wrong with you?"

Finally, Bi Manzhu sitting next to her couldn't stand it anymore. The princess asked timidly, as if she wanted to get some kind of response.

However, Li Nian still had no reaction.

Seeing this, Bi Shanzhu shook her head and said, "We must win this war. General Li doesn't know what's wrong, so let me command it for the time being. Don't worry, I once attended military classes with my teacher, commanding the army, etc., I still know..."

"Wow!"

Just as Bishanzhu was preparing to command, suddenly, Li Nian, who had been silent next to her, suddenly vomited blood from her mouth! She fell off the horse!

This huge change shocked everyone around him. The deputy generals next to him rushed up one after another. Even Bi Shanzhu jumped off the horse nervously and rushed to Li Nian's side.

"General Li? What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"

Bi Manzhu shouted anxiously.

However, Li Nian's pupils were extremely loose. His fingers trembled into his arms, taking out the hourglass with the Ten Thousand Soul Pills and stretching towards Bishanzhu.

"Princess……………………………………………………………………………………”

Just a short, four words.

After these four words, Li Nian's stretched out hand fell down like this. His breathing was also mixed with the blood and disappeared...

"He... is dead?"

The deputy general next to him showed a look of surprise on his face.

Even Bishanzhu, the princess was full of confusion at the moment, and couldn't figure out what was going on now.

How could a good person die suddenly?

However, it is no longer important why Li Nian died. In the current situation of the death of the Lord, Bi Shanzhu pinched the hourglass in her hand and returned to her horse again. She said loudly—

"We don't have time to continue missing here! We must break through Cuicheng. We must use the head of the villain in Cuitu Country to pay tribute to General Li Nian! Now, I'm in command!"

As the most accomplished disciple of Jade Girl Pavilion, as one of the eleven demon-sealing people, more importantly, as the most beloved daughter of the saint in the Birch Water Kingdom, although many people may doubt the princess' military talent, no one dared to resist her or wanted to contradict her in a short period of time.

What's more, in the face of the absence of the commander and the military situation is a bit bad, who dares to take the lead and say that he wants to command the entire army? 100,000 to 20,000 will succeed. That's right. But if it fails, it will really be just using his own head to meet the emperor.

Therefore, when Bi Manzhu took the tiger talisman handed over by the deputy general next to her, no one opposed it. Correspondingly, it was equivalent to acquiesceing the princess' supreme rule.

"Okay! Well... In short, let's charge first! I don't believe it anymore. If a hundred thousand people fight against 20,000 people, the morale will be depressed? Come on! Everyone follows me..."

The word "chong" has no exit.

And the princess' expression that had just sworn and eager to try was frozen at this moment.

Her expression became dull and unsightly like Li Nian just now. Her eyes began to spread a little, like a doll that had lost its autonomy, just sitting quietly on the horse.

As for the charge with her, because she did not move, the other deputy generals around him naturally did not dare to move. They all looked at the princess curiously and surprised, thinking about what she was thinking at the moment...

But these people don't know.

When their princess opened her eyes, what appeared in front of her was not the broad frontal battlefield just now.

Incense was lit in the corner, and more than a dozen palace maids were playing pleasant music on the side.

The hall with carved beams and painted buildings shows a little empty but gentle atmosphere.

She looked around in a daze.

Looking at this building, it seemed a little dim, with only a few small oil lamps illuminating the scene around it.

"Where is this?"

A question that should have been asked long ago has finally been spit out of the princess's mouth.

And after this question...

"I originally thought that the next opponent to play against me would be, which hero. Unexpectedly, the country of Bishui would let you, the princess, personally lead the commander of a hundred thousand troops? This game of chess may be even more interesting."

As the sound rang out, dozens of lights suddenly lit up in front of the Bishanzhu! Under the lights, a huge military sand table appeared in front of her!

The terrain on the sand table is the terrain from Yumen Pass to Cuicheng, with an army symbolizing red and blue flags. Judging from the lineup, the many red flags on this side of Yumen Pass are the army of the country of Bishui. The blue flag on the opposite side is undoubtedly the army of Cuicheng.

Opposite the sand table, there was a girl in the palace dress about fourteen or fifteen years old.

Her long hair was gentle and long, and her black hair spread out like a veil on the floor.

The girl had no expression on her face, but her bright pupils staring at Bishanzhu.

And behind this girl is a magnificent throne.

On the throne, there was a handsome man with long hair of about twenty-five or twenty-six. He was wearing loose pajamas and leaning on the throne very lazy, with a pair of emerald green pupils looking down at the green bamboo below.

Unlike ordinary people, his long hair turned out to be silver-gray, pouring down from his seat like a Milky Way.

"Now, let's start. A chess game that bets on the fate of this country."

———————————————————————————

“It’s really dark here.”

Tao Zhaide tore his clothes, then stuffed the thing behind him with the flag of Guanghan Palace written on it into his arms, and sneaked into the imperial palace.

There is no one in the palace... I'm afraid all the soldiers will go outside to protect the city now. After all, if the city gate is not protected, such a small imperial city will not be able to resist the crushing of the outside army.

But there was no one, and Taozhaide was in trouble. With such a large imperial city, how should we find the emperor of this Cuicheng?

I always have to demolish the entire imperial city by myself before I can force the emperor out.

"Ah! Mom~~!"

Just as Taozhaide was hesitating and struggling, suddenly, Xiao Qiugong suddenly started to scream.

She kept stretching out her fingers and pointed in a direction in the imperial city.

Of course, this little girl could not have been to this city. Then the only possibility is...

"Does anyone have a meat smell over there?"

Xiao Yaoxuan nodded immediately and smiled excitedly: "Well! The young lady's meat tastes! It's very fragrant, very fragrant!"

Tao Zhaide nodded and immediately ran towards the direction pointed by the little girl.

The more I ran, the dimmer the light around me became. After all, there were no lighting facilities in the entire palace, and I don’t know why it became so dark.

Taozhaide groped in the darkness and walked carefully towards the front...

Suddenly! When his footsteps crossed a threshold, the darkness in front of him suddenly became brightly lit! Under the bright lights, the man on the throne, the young girl playing music and singing beside him, the huge sand table, the long-haired girl sitting cross-legged in front of the sand table, and the surprised Bimanzhu all appeared in front of him!

"Now, let's start. A chess game that bets on the fate of this country."

The silver-haired man smiled slightly.

And at the same time...

Tao Zhaide suddenly realized that after crossing the threshold, all the mental power in his body seemed to have been completely eliminated...
Chapter completed!
