Aggrieved Qian Renxue: I Lost!

Aggrieved Qian Renxue: I... Lost!

"What is this?"

Qian Renxue looked at the empty shell of the Signal Flare in her hand, then raised her head to look at the striking plume of beacon smoke in the sky.

She could not help looking puzzled.

She had absolutely no idea what Dai Chengfeng was playing at.

He had led a thousand elite troops through a bloody battle to within a hundred meters of her, just to throw her a "firework"?

"Young Mistress, has this Dai Chengfeng lost his mind?"

"Anyone with eyes can tell that the thousand men he led are all elite soldiers. Yet before this, he never sent them to defend the city, and instead insisted on bringing them here to die..."

"If they had defended the city, our soldiers would not have found it so easy to climb onto the City Wall."

"And now..."

"They are actually shouting some fantastical slogan and beginning a full retreat?"

After hearing Pufferfish Douluo's question, Qian Renxue furrowed her delicate brows slightly. "Yes. Why exactly?"

"Could it really be only because of Dai Chengfeng's personal will?"

"But inside the city, it's impossible that there isn't even one person with a brain..."

At that thought, something suddenly seemed to flash through Qian Renxue's mind, and her Pupils shrank sharply. "Not good!"

She cried out instinctively, looked at the "firework" in the sky, then hurriedly Turned Head to look at the distant City Wall, before swiftly sweeping her gaze over the surrounding troops of Heaven Dou Empire.

At that moment, as Dai Chengfeng's thousand men plunged in recklessly, combined with the slogans they shouted...

Qian Renxue herself knew that she had not been captured alive at all.

But the soldiers in the distance did not know that!

Now, those distant officers and soldiers who did not know the truth were all closing in swiftly toward her central army like a tide.

Even the originally fierce assault on the City Wall came to an abrupt halt at that very moment.

"As expected!!!"

Qian Renxue clenched her pearly teeth, her beautiful eyes fixed fiercely on Dai Chengfeng opposite her, the man with the White Tiger roaring proudly behind him, golden light swirling around his body, drenched in blood, with no one daring to Block wherever the spear in his hand pointed, fully displaying an air of looking down on all. Her heart was both furious and vexed.

"Little tiger, was all of this carefully planned by you?!"

At this moment, Qian Renxue finally came to a sudden realization...

Why the other side had beaten the war drums first to draw the whole army's attention before setting out, why he had so loudly shouted the slogan of capturing her alive, why he had recklessly fought his way to within a hundred meters of her, and only then suddenly begun to retreat.

But the slogan had already changed to say that she had been captured alive by him.

"So from beginning to end, Dai Chengfeng had only one goal: to use my identity as the Crown Prince of Heaven Dou Empire to draw all the other armies over to rescue me!"

After all, aside from her and Pufferfish Douluo, no one knew that a Titled Douluo was hidden at her side protecting her.

Therefore, now that they had seen Dai Chengfeng actually lead a thousand Vanguard Death Soldiers plus a Soul Douluo straight into the depths of the central army where she was, and then combined that with the shouts of those Star Luo Empire soldiers...

No one would fail to worry about her safety. They could only rush over to rescue her regardless of everything.

After all, she was the heir to Heaven Dou Empire!

"And once they all come to the rescue, the formation that had completely encircled Wu'an City will definitely be thrown into disorder..."

At this thought, Qian Renxue hurriedly Turned Head and anxiously ordered Pufferfish Douluo, "Pufferfish Elder, hurry and intercept..."

But before Qian Renxue could finish speaking, another sudden change occurred at Wu'an City.

Aside from the main city gate, the other three gates of Wu'an City had, at some unknown point, quietly opened a crack. Dozens, even hundreds, of scouts dressed in black and riding fast horses charged into the distance like Gui Mei, completely ignoring the surrounding soldiers of Heaven Dou Empire and throwing caution to the wind.

When the Heaven Dou Empire army saw them, they did not make any special effort to stop them.

After all, in their minds, rescuing the Crown Prince was the most important thing at this moment!

Wu'an City could be attacked again in the future, but if the Crown Prince of Heaven Dou Empire was actually captured alive on the battlefield by someone from Star Luo Empire...

Some of them would inevitably lose their heads.

As for the rest, their future careers would also be completely finished!

"Young Mistress, what did you want me to intercept?"

At this moment, Pufferfish Douluo looked at Qian Renxue, who had stopped halfway through her sentence, with a puzzled expression and could not help asking.

"Nothing..."

"I lost. Prepare to withdraw the army."

At this moment, Qian Renxue bit her lower lip hard, her eyes reddening slightly, aggrieved tears Twirling in her eyes, looking pitiful.

"Bastard!"

Since the day she was born, aside from suffering losses at that woman's hands, everything had always gone smoothly for her.

But today!

This was the first time she felt as if she had been toyed with completely in the palm of someone's hand... as if she were nothing more than a chess piece being moved at will!

"Bastard! Bastard! Dai! Cheng! Feng..."

"I, Qian Renxue, will remember you!!!"

Qian Renxue clenched her pearly teeth, her voice filled with grievance and unwillingness.

At that moment, she truly wished she could have Pufferfish Douluo throw caution to the wind and execute Dai Chengfeng, who had actually dared to deceive her, on the spot. But...

She knew exactly what the consequences of doing so would be.

She could not afford such a loss. After all, the Heaven Dou Empire was her foundation.

In the end, all she could do was helplessly watch Dai Chengfeng's back as he gradually moved away, lightly pressing her red lips together as she snapped, "Bastard!!!"

Compared to Qian Renxue's rationality, however, Pufferfish Douluo scratched his head in confusion. "Young Master, when did we lose?"

"Wasn't our goal to take Wu'an City? Why are we suddenly withdrawing the army?"

"Hah..."

Qian Renxue took a deep breath, tucked the empty shell of the Signal Flare Dai Chengfeng had tossed to her into her robes, then said, "That Signal Flare just now was Dai Chengfeng's signal."

"Taking advantage of the chaos, countless scouts have probably already rushed out of Wu'an City."

"Now, even if you personally took action, it would be impossible to intercept them all."

As she spoke, Qian Renxue looked toward a vast stretch of forest not far away.

"Around Wu'an City, because of the forests where Soul Beasts gather, there are dozens of military outposts of the Star Luo Empire, large and small, stationed to ensure the Soul Beasts cannot rush out of the forests and harm people."

"If they receive the news now, they can gather at Wu'an City in a short time."

"That would be an army of at least tens of thousands, something we absolutely cannot stop. If we don't leave now..."

"Other than you and me, all thirty thousand of these men will be buried here."

"At that point, whether I can continue sitting in the Crown Prince position I just took would be hard to say."

"It would be better to withdraw decisively while our losses are still small. Although we failed to take Wu'an City, this battle greatly boosted the prestige of my Heaven Dou Empire. It can still be counted as a merit."

"It's just that, naturally, it isn't as stunning as actually taking Wu'an City would have been..."

After listening to Qian Renxue's analysis, Pufferfish Douluo suddenly understood.

"So that's how it is."

However, his expression also looked rather ugly. After all, he was a dignified Titled Douluo, yet he had actually been fooled by a young man?

Even so, he could not help sighing in admiration inwardly. "Earlier, I truly misjudged him!"

"The reason this Fourth Prince of the Star Luo Empire launched such a reckless charge was actually for this deeper purpose."

"He really is an extraordinary young man!"

Although Qian Renxue deeply disliked Dai Chengfeng, who had led her around in circles, she could not help agreeing.

After all, under such a critical situation, he had still been able to make such a decision so swiftly.

And disregarding his precious status as the Fourth Prince of the Star Luo Empire, he had personally led the Vanguard Death Soldiers into death to seek life.

"With ambition soaring to the clouds, spirit swallowing ten thousand li like a tiger, worthy of the endless rivers flowing through the ages..."

"Only!"

"How wonderful it would be if you could pledge loyalty to my Spirit Hall?!"

Qian Renxue shook her head with a long sigh, then turned her horse. "Pass down my order. Sound the retreat!"

"In this battle, my Heaven Dou Empire has fully displayed its mighty strength. But when will vengeance ever end?"

"I, Xue Qinghe, Crown Prince of Heaven Dou, will spare Wu'an City this once. I hope the people of the Star Luo Empire know to be grateful!"

With that said.

Qian Renxue ignored everyone else and rode away directly.

At this moment.

For the last time, she turned her head and looked deeply at the blonde boy in the distance, bathed in blood and resembling a god of war, as if she wanted to imprint his figure deeply into her mind.

"Little tiger, just you wait!!!"
