Chapter 150: The Young General and the Handsome Emperor (3)
Page 1 of 3
“The imperial decree has not yet arrived, so nothing we do can be considered disobedience. By now, the news that the Yan Kingdom intends to cede its cities should have reached the Nunu Kingdom. This is when they are most relaxed. If we launch a surprise attack now, our chances of victory will be very high.”
“However, the Fourth Prince is in their hands. The Emperor may not care, but Great General, Noble Consort Wei is my father’s elder sister. The Fourth Prince is practically a cousin to both Ah Si and me. We cannot simply stand by and let him die.”
After Wei Jingyu finished speaking, he glanced again at Ah Si, who was kneeling on the ground. His tone turned cold. “Ah Si, get up. This is no place for you to make a scene.”
Ah Si stubbornly remained on her knees.
The young girl was dressed in a striking military outfit, still gripping a long spear in her hand.
Her gaze was clear and pure as she stared unwaveringly at Wei Jingyu. There was an indescribable resolve in her eyes.
Ever since the previous world, when she and Laide...
Well, Ah Si’s face flushed slightly.
She could now faintly sense Xiao Bai’s location.
It was somewhere to the northwest.
Tan floated above Ah Si’s head, a small white ball of fluff. Suddenly, as though tired, it sprawled across her shoulder.
“Ah Si, a night raid is no child’s game. It’s very dangerous.”
Ah Si blinked and slowly said, one word at a time, “Great General, Brother, there is no one more suitable than me.”
That was true. Ah Si possessed divine strength by birth.
She was perfectly suited to close-quarters combat.
But she was still only a young girl.
“Great General, Brother, don’t worry. Ah Si will definitely return safely!”
She would bring the Fourth Prince back safely.
For some reason, Ah Si suddenly thought to herself:
The Fourth Prince—Yan Ancheng.

By nightfall, Ah Si had already led a group of men to lie in wait outside the tents of the Nunu Kingdom.
She concealed herself behind a mound of earth.
The soldiers of the Nunu Kingdom were indeed far more relaxed than usual.
The two kingdoms were still at war, yet the soldiers were drinking outside their tents.
Ah Si saw quite a few young women pinned beneath those soldiers.
They were being wantonly violated.
Although it pained her deeply, Ah Si knew that this was not the time.
If they went out now, they would only make matters worse. Not only would they fail to save those women, but the brothers who had come with her would also lose their lives.
The night grew darker.
The soldiers were all drunk and unsteady on their feet.
The troops had been brought by the Nunu Kingdom’s First Prince, the eldest son most beloved by the king.
He was the one holding the Fourth Prince captive.
Ah Si and the others were dressed entirely in black, their faces smeared with dark soot.
At a glance, they seemed to merge completely with the night.
A curved saber hung at Ah Si’s waist. She tightened her grip on it, then turned to the men behind her.
“I’ll go in and scout the way. Wait here.”
With that, Ah Si bent low and quietly slipped into the camp where the soldiers of the Nunu Kingdom were resting.
-
The man wore an ornate outer robe, with jewels and jade hanging around his neck.

He looked nothing like a general leading troops into battle.
This was the most luxurious tent in the enemy camp.
Inside, music and dancing filled the air.
The foreign women were dressed in revealing clothes.
Not only that, several women from the Yan Kingdom had been tied to chairs.
Their faces were full of sorrow.
The First Prince of the Nunu Kingdom held a whip in his hand and viciously lashed it against the ground.
Drunk and slurring his words, he said, “Bring that beauty in!”
The singing and dancing continued.
Ah Si drew her curved saber and efficiently killed the soldiers guarding the tent.
She did not even blink.
Only when blood splashed across her fingers did Ah Si frown faintly.
A trace of grievance flickered through her dark eyes.
It vanished just as quickly.
Ah, it took me ages to come up with the name Yan Ancheng. Naming characters is truly agonizing!
