Chapter 730: 730

Chapter 730: She Will Not Succeed!

“Ridiculous! You’re just a young lass! What ways would you have? Are you thinking of making the men of our Tian Zhao Empire court death by entering deep into the Nandu Nation’s army camp?”

“!” The tent immediately fell silent.

All of the people inside unanimously looked at Crown Prince Yu.

A frown appeared on Crown Prince Yu’s handsome face.

After that commander delivered his tirade, he turned to angrily look at Crown Prince Yu with his fist clenched. “Your Royal Highness, Miss Lou does not know any battle strategy at all and speaks gibberish! I’m afraid she will bring our men to harm. Commander ‘Han Zhen’ implores Your Royal Highness to strip her of her position!”

Everyone gasped in shock.

This was the first day of Crown Prince’s arrival, yet this “Han Zhen” dared to embarrass the Crown Prince’s subordinate! Wouldn’t that equate to humiliating the Crown Prince himself?

Lou Qianxue raised her brows as she looked at the commander.

Liu Mansheng lowered his gaze and smiled, feeling satisfied. To think that the Third Prince even instructed me to be careful of this woman.

However—

She’s just an empty-headed pretty face!

Crown Prince has two assistant generals. Excluding her, the other one who has a say here…

Liu Mansheng’s gaze landed on Zhen Guogong, and frostiness flashed across his countenance…

“You don’t even know what ways I have, so how do you know what I say is gibberish?” Lou Qianxue coldly smiled. “Perhaps, this commander has a premonition?”

“Hmph! You simply refuse to admit your mistake! In that case, what ways do you have?”

Lou Qianxue crossed her arms. “Sorry, but I do not wish to tell you.”

“You!” Han Zhen got irritated.

Liu Mansheng stood up with a chuckle. “Miss Lou, we all know very well how you became the assistant general. If you truly don’t have a plan, none of us will blame you anyway. Why must you be so obstinate? Moreover, fighting a war is the responsibility of us tough men. A pampered lady like you should just rest by the side.”

“That’s right! Fighting a war is not a game, and being reckless is a taboo.”

“If something goes wrong, the lives of numerous soldiers will be at stake. Miss Lou, you better not be careless.”

“Don’t do something you’re not good at!”

The commanders on Liu Mansheng’s side voiced their opinions one after another.

Lou Qianxue narrowed her eyes. She was about to speak…

“I trust her!” Crown Prince Yu interrupted everyone with a nonchalant voice.

The tent fell silent again.

Liu Mansheng and the commanders beside him turned sullen.

Crown Prince Yu continued, “Food supplies are indeed the most important thing in a war. If Miss Lou truly has an idea to destroy the opponent’s food supplies, then we will have a huge advantage in this battle. I’m willing to let Miss Lou give it a try.”

Zhen Guogong was silent for a moment, then nodded. “I’m also willing to let Miss Lou give it a try.”

“Father!” Chu Pengcheng looked at Lou Qianxue with doubt.

Entrusting such a huge matter to a young lady?

Even if Father and Younger Brother have said this lady is very powerful, I still have my doubts!

Liu Mansheng snorted. “If Crown Prince insists on letting Miss Lou try, it’s not impossible, but… if something goes wrong, who shall be responsible?”

Crown Prince Yu remained indifferent. “I made the decision. I will be responsible.”

“Fine!” Liu Mansheng nodded. “Crown Prince is decisive indeed! Then, Crown Prince, I shall listen to you this once. However, if Lou Qianxue fails, it proves that you don’t know how to lead a battle. When the time comes, I’ll ask you to hand over your authority because I won’t entrust the lives of our soldiers into the hands of a reckless general!”

“You! Shameless! Liu Mansheng, Crown Prince is the general of this battle and the whole army is to obey him! Who are you to speak to Crown Prince this way?” Zhen Guogong rebuked.

Crown Prince Yu’s pupils turned dark and forbidding. He extended his hand to stop Zhen Guogong and frostily looked at Liu Mansheng. “Then, what if Miss Lou succeeds? What will you do?”

Liu Mansheng’s breathing hitched. “She will not succeed!”

“What if?”
