Upon learning that Jian Ruonan was a first-rank general, not only Yuwen Shu but all the Northern Kingdom envoys with him stared wide-eyed.
The legendary general, undefeated in battle and brimming with stratagems, was a girl who had not even reached marriageable age?!
Just outside the Imperial Palace, they seemed to have seen a girl sprawled in a carriage, being spoon-fed. That girl seemed to be the very one standing before them.
Wahahahaha-
Was this some kind of joke?!
The Xiongnu envoys had thought Jian Ruonan was there to perform a comedy skit. Only after Emperor Deyuan had someone bring her a seat, and they saw how solicitous the Six Ministers of the Six Ministries were toward her, did they finally believe it-
This girl, who looked outrageously cocky but lacked even the strength to truss a chicken, was a first-rank general.
Great Xia was not far from being finished!
Throughout history, female politicians had always used their bodies and sex as bargaining chips to gain a seat at the table.
Although this General Jian had lively eyes and delicate features, her figure was still a bean sprout.
Could Emperor Deyuan have some peculiar tastes...
"I have heard of your heroic bearing, General. Seeing you today has truly made me look at you with fresh eyes!"
Yuwen Shu's words sounded pleasant, but a strange trace of contempt lingered in his gaze as he looked at Jian Ruonan, and his tone was rather snide.
The Northern Kingdom envoys' gazes gradually grew lecherous too.
Jian Ruonan looked him over and asked, "Who told you that?"
Yuwen Shu choked, not expecting this female general to speak so bluntly. "...I heard it from everyone."
Jian Ruonan said, "Which everyone? You didn't just make it up, did you?"
Yuwen Shu: "..."
