Deception Is Fair Play in War

Thanks to moderator "\u0001Qi Ren Zhui Tian" for another generous show of support—five more monthly tickets!

"Hm?!"

Xiang Yu, who had been glaring furiously at Yu Ziqi, froze. His face flushed red, then purple, then nearly black, burning hot as charcoal.

Yu Ziqi's attempt to stop him had already set his anger ablaze. Now even Lian Cheng dared to "ignore" him?
