Chapter 120: The Princess of Great Yong!

A group of Tartars soon arrived. Their imposing aura was extremely strong and their large horses kicked up a huge storm of dust as they galloped in this direction.

The imposing sight caused the soldiers of Great Yong to panic and fear appeared on their faces.

Ning Shu shouted, "What are you panicking for? Stand at attention!"

No matter the situation of a battle, the troops must maintain orderly ranks and give off an imposing aura.

Ning Shu narrowed her eyes at the person leading the Tartars. She could only say that the path of enemies was narrow. At the very front of the group of Tartars was the second prince, He Lianying.

"Second Prince, Second Prince…" The captured Tartars immediately started shouting excitedly when they saw He Lianying. Then they looked towards Ning Shu with smug and malicious expressions.

Ning Shu simply swung her whip. It made a sharp, ear-piercing sound as it cut through the air and instantly silenced the Tartars.

When the soldiers of Great Yong saw that Princess Jiahui had been able to scare the Tartars to the point they trembled with a single swing of her whip, they stood more confidently with their chest out, causing their aura to strengthen.

He Lianying was wearing animal leather that revealed part of his chest, making him look even more coa.r.s.e and wild than he had appeared at the capital. From head to toe, he emitted a seductive unruliness.

He Lianying first took a look at the scout on the ground that had been whipped beyond recognition and an unclear dark light flashed through his eyes. Following that, he looked towards Ning Shu who was in full-body armor.

"You shouldn't have done that." He Lianying's tone was very languid but also low and dangerous. "You refused the peace marriage with me, and now even led troops to battle. Princess Jiahui, you've truly exceeded my expectations."

"Only a woman like you is worthy to be my wife."

He Lianying extended his hand in her direction and made a s.n.a.t.c.hing motion. Giving her a darkly charming smile, he continued, "You should just be good and agree to the marriage. What's the point in coming here and tormenting yourself? You've killed a warrior of my North Mongolia, so I'll just have your soldiers make up for it."

"For the death of one warrior, I'll have a hundred troops and a hundred citizens slaughtered. If you kill two, I'll kill five hundred soldiers." He Lianying bared his teeth in a savage grin.

His voice was carried by the cold wind into everyone's ears and they involuntarily s.h.i.+vered.

"Princess Jiahui, come with me." He Lianying looked at Ning Shu. "If you leave with me, I'll let this group go."

"Princess, please allow me to duel him," requested Duan Xinghui angrily.

"Move back," berated Ning Shu. Duan Xinghui looked unwillingly towards He Lianying again as he backed down.

"That means you want come with me now?" A smile that contained some joy appeared on He Lianying's face as he extended his hand towards Ning Shu. "You're the first woman to gain my appreciation, and also the one most suitable to be my woman."

Ning Shu really wanted to spit in his face. Such an arrogant tone, he sure thought highly of himself! Ning Shu gave a cold laugh, then swung her whip towards the lower body of a captured Tartar.

And whipped him to death.

Her movements had been too fast, even He Lianying was stunned for a moment. Following that, he tightened his fist around his reins and looked at Ning Shu with a dark and sinister expression. "Princess Jiahui, I'd advise you not to provoke me."

Even the soldiers of Great Yong were looking towards Ning Shu in astonishment and awe.

Ning Shu ignored He Lianying's irked expression and said, "This is the result of humiliating the women of my Great Yong. I'll whip to death every offender. You bandits have seized the foodstuff belonging to our Great Yong and plundered the homes of our people. If I don't whip people like you to death, I don't deserve to be the princess of Great Yong!"

"The phrase 'no sense of propriety, justice, integrity and honor' was made to describe b.a.s.t.a.r.ds like you. This princess will not agree to the peace marriage even if the consequence is death! He Lianying, who do you think you are? You think you're good enough for this princess?"

Chapter 121: Become This Prince's Princess Consort

"Could it be that you North Mongolians don't even have copper mirrors to look at your own moral conducts with? If you don't have copper mirrors, then just take a leak and and look at yourself in that. I don't get where you get the confidence to act as if you're on top of the world."

Ning Shu was happy to finally get to curse. Every time she saw He Lianying's att.i.tude of 'I'm a bigshot, you're lucky that this bigshot took a fancy to you,' she would feel speechless.

She felt that he was a total fool.

Those Tartars were so p.i.s.sed by Ning Shu's remark that every single one of them glared at her as if they wanted to eat her alive.

Ning Shu simply sneered, but inwardly she was also cursing c.r.a.p, what exactly was Shen Feng doing? Why was he still not here when this place was only a few steps away?

Ning Shu's heart sank a little. If she made it back alive this time, she definitely had to sort those people out. Otherwise, events like this would occur again.

Fierce anger had also appeared on He Lianying's face when he heard this and he said coldly, "Princess Jiahui, does the fact that you're purposefully provoking me mean that you no longer care about the soldiers behind you?"

Ning Shu laughed coldly. "Of course this princess can't care. After all, even if they were to die, it would only be after this princess died in front of them. He Lianying, don't you think you've been acting too arrogantly, to treat the soil of Great Yong as your own backyard?"

The only thing Ning Shu could do right now was send verbal slaps. They had no hope fighting right now since it was a cavalry versus an infantry. If they fought, they would face instant KO ah.

"Princess Jiahui, it's not that this prince is arrogant, nor is it that the warriors of our North Mongolia are arrogant. It's that the soldiers of your Great Yong are all cowards who freeze at the sight of our North Mongolian warriors."

"They don't have a single bit of courage. Towards a country made of people like this, this prince can only laugh…"

f.u.c.k your laughing, Ning Shu inwardly cursed.

He Lianying's words made all the citizens of Great Yong feel extremely humiliated and they glared at him.

"Princess, please give this general the command to fight," said Duan Xinghui with a determined expression.

Ning Shu was speechless. Was it even possible to win if they fought in this situation? Could it be that all battles were solo battles?

"You want to go up and fight alone?" asked Ning Shu in a small voice.

When Ning Shu leaned over closer to him to ask him this, for some reason Duan Xinghui felt his heart abruptly speed up. He lifted his chest higher and said, "Allow this general to duel the enemy's leader first."

f.u.c.k! The order really was individual duels, then a group melee?

He Lianying saw that Ning Shu was chatting nonstop with a man, not seeming to mind this situation at all, and became annoyed. He shouted coldly, "Princess Jiahui."

"What are you shouting for? Can't you see that we're discussing something right now?" snapped Ning Shu, sounding slightly annoyed.

He Lianying: …

He Lianying lifted his hand and the Tartars behind him immediately moved to surround Ning Shu's group.

The soldiers of Great Yong had their backs against each other as they faced the Tartars solemnly with spear in hand.

Ning Shu's expression turned cold as she looked towards He Lianying. He Lianying was sitting on his horse in a relaxed manner and watching Ning Shu. When she looked over, he smiled smugly and asked, "Princess Jiahui, have you made your decision?"

"A betrothed becomes a wife, an eloper becomes a concubine. He Lianying, you want me to go with you. If this princess does, what will this princess's status be?" Ning Shu had no choice but to pretend to consider He Lianying's offer.

"Princess…" Duan Xinghui couldn't stop himself from crying out.

Ning Shu ignored him. Shen Feng still wasn't here. Haha, he really didn't respect her, this princess, at all.

"You'll naturally be this prince's princess consort. This prince's land, livestock, and servants will all belong to you." He Lianying's voice was enticing to hear.

However, Ning Shu really wanted to just spit in his face. What did she not have in Great Yong for her to have a need for He Lianying's things? Just in regards to land, the territory she had been bestowed was much larger compared to He Lianying's land.

Chapter 122: Duel - Princess Jiahui vs He Lianying

"He Lianying, this princess has always wanted to fight with you. Let's see if you have the ability to make this princess go with you." Ning Shu gave a cold laugh. "Have your subordinates stand back and let's fight."

Ning Shu knew that this duel was a must, not only for the sake of keeping up the morale of the soldiers, but also to stop this body from being afraid of He Lianying. This body would reflexively tremble from simply a glimpse of He Lianying.

Ning Shu gritted her teeth. She had to prove to her 'self' that He Lianying wasn't undefeatable. She'd still have to fight He Lianying many times in the future. Could it be that she'd have to do it every time while trembling?

Ning Shu stroked the whip at her waist, then said to He Lianying, "Let's duel."

He Lianying looked at Ning Shu with a very indulgent gaze as if he was looking at a naughty pet of his that was trying to scratch someone with its claws.

"As you wish. Does that mean you'll be coming with this prince if you lose?" He Lianying's lips were hooked in a smile. "This prince is very interested in you."

With a shout, Ning Shu drove her horse forward and swung her whip at He Lianying. She had used all her strength in this swing, but he easily dodged it by leaning away.

Ning Shu had to fight while suppressing her body's trembling.

He Lianying had originally planned to just tease Ning Shu a bit, but he saw that she was completely serious and merciless with her attacks.

He had no choice but to also become serious. He drew out his broadsword from his waist and used it to block Ning Shu's sharp whip.

Duan Xinghui watched nervously from the side with his lips pressed worriedly together. His eyes tightly followed after her figure.

When he noticed that He Lianying was looking at Princess Jiahui with a very bright gaze, his heart became uncomfortable, very uncomfortable.

He Lianying laughed. The sound was low and full of savage seductiveness. He caught Ning Shu's whip with his sword, then reached out and pulled on it, making Ning Shu fall towards him.

Ning Shu: …

She was disgusted to feel the hand around her waist. It felt like a caterpillar had landed on her skin.

She tried to struggle free but couldn't. Her nose filled with his unruly and wild scent.

"Let go of this princess," demanded Ning Shu coldly.

He Lianying took in her cold gaze. It was icy but clear, like the snow lotus that swayed in the wind on top of a frosty mountain.

"Naughty little wildcat," murmured He Lianying as he tightened his arm around her waist.

f.u.c.k! Was he trying to disgust her to death? He Lianying, this b.a.s.t.a.r.d, was definitely the biggest barrier that was preventing her from completing this task.

"You d.a.m.ned Tartar! Let go of Princess Jiahui!" Duan Xinghui shouted, looking furious and worried.

He Lianying didn't bother to pay attention to Duan Xinghui and simply continued looking at Ning Shu. Ning Shu gave a cold laugh, then lifted her leg to kick He Lianying down there.

He Lianying clamped Ning Shu's leg with his thighs, making it so she couldn't even bulge. Then he lowered his head to get a closer look at her rapidly changing expressions.

f.u.c.k! Ning Shu was furious from the humiliation. The Heavens granted men strong bodies, yet they used this strength on women. What kind of conduct was that?

He Lianying was oppressing her through pure strength. Ning Shu took a deep breath and silently reminded herself that she had practiced the Unsurpa.s.sable Martial Arts. Then, she abruptly lifted her knee and stomp down towards He Lianying's down there…

Chapter 123: This Flavor is Delightful

Ning Shu had been planning to kick him impotent, but He Lianying quickly dodged. However, due to this he loosened his hold on Ning Shu and she immediately swung her whip towards him.

He Lianying wasn't able to react fast enough and the tip of the whip hit him. He immediately felt scorching pain come from his arm. His facial color instantly turned a bit pale and cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Ning Shu jumped back onto her horse and turned to look at him. When she saw his condition, she couldn't help but ask with a pleased smirk, "How does it feel? Doesn't it feel wonderful? This princess's whip has been soaked in hot pepper and has had a little extra something added to it. How does the poison feel?"

He Lianying's handsome brows furrowed slightly and his face twitched, but then he grinned towards Ning Shu. "This prince finds this flavor delightful."

Ning Shu's eyelids jumped. This He Lianying was seriously a pervert, to be able to still joke with her in this sort of situation.

"Second Prince…" When the people behind He Lianying heard Ning Shu say that her whip was poisonous, they became worried. All of them glared at Ning Shu and cursed at her. "Despicable Great Yong woman!"

Haha, these Tartars actually had the face to call her shameless? No matter how shameless she was, she couldn't compare to how shameless these plunderers were. They were like thieving mice, what right did they have to call other people shameless?

He Lianying didn't bother to address his subordinates' worries and continued looking towards Ning Shu. He licked his lips in a manner that seemed both charming and feral, then commanded, "Apart from Jiahui, kill them all."

"Understood…"

Ning Shu's expression turned serious and she raised her voice say, "Soldiers, the Tartars have been trampling the soil of our nation and humiliating our wives and daughters. We must drive these bandits off our soil to protect our nation, to protect our wives and children!"

"Protect our nation!" A low and unified chant filled with solemn conviction rang out. The soldiers' expressions became resolute. As they looked towards Princess Jiahui who was holding a whip in front of them, they felt hot blood course into their heart.

He Lianying was also watching Ning Shu. "Do you really think that these people can defeat this prince's troops?"

"Jiahui, come with this prince. This prince will give you incomparable glory. You will become this prince's woman for this entire lifetime, you will be this prince's only woman."

Ning Shu gave a cold laugh and swung her whip towards the neck of a Tartar that was rus.h.i.+ng towards her. The Tartar's neck immediately streamed with blood and after a second of struggle, he stopped breathing.

"He Lianying, this princess is the princess of Great Yong. Great Yong will naturally give this princess glory and honor. Even if this princess were to die, it would be on the soil of Great Yong. You want this princess to go with you? Just keep dreaming!" sneered Ning Shu.

He Lianying shook his head. His gaze was filled with strange gentleness as he looked at her. "This prince just loves it when you act this way. You seem to be even more wild than the women of North Mongolia."

Ning Shu: Isn't this b.a.s.t.a.r.d's ability to ignore other people's words a little too good?
