Who put the yellow robe on me?

Chapter 143 Daliang Intelligence

Ever since he was rescued by Yelu Mengmeng, the third princess of Northern Qiang, he has been thinking about the safety of Zhong Xiaodan and other Daliang soldiers.

"Ms. Mengmeng, do you know what's happening with Zhong Xiaodan and the others?" Jiang Chen asked softly, his tone filled with a hint of pleading and... cuteness!?

Yelu Mengmeng looked at Jiang Chen with a teasing smile in her eyes: "Hey! Who would believe that the aloof Sixteenth Prince in Wanhe Hall would look like this now." Her tone was teasing, as if she was making fun of Jiang Chen's eagerness at the moment.

Jiang Chen was a little depressed. If he wanted to get more information from the third princess, he would have to coax her.

Then there was another round of cuteness...

Yelu Mengmeng's smile became even wider!

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "It's over. My reputation in this life is ruined. I'm going to settle this score with you later, Zhong Xiaodan."

Yelu Mengmeng's smile gradually faded and her expression became serious.

She said slowly, "My spies went to gather information. That night, General Xianyu arrived late because a man named 'Lord Ji' from the Western Regions had gone ahead to get reinforcements. That night, your troops suffered heavy losses, with half of them surrounded and intercepted."

Jiang Chen's heart suddenly sank, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "What?!"

Yelu Mengmeng looked at him and continued, "You should be thankful. If you and that young master of the Zhong family hadn't lured the Tiger Guards from the Western Regions away, you might have been completely wiped out. And I heard that one of the guards you brought with you last time was killed in battle."

Jiang Chen felt as if his heart had been struck hard by a huge hammer. He said in a low voice, "Ah? Who died?"

"A general named Xu, what was his name?" Yelu Mengmeng frowned, recalling the spy's report.

Jiang Chen's heart tightened, and he asked anxiously, "Is it Xu Ningce?"

Yelu Mengmeng nodded. "Yes, it seems to be him. My spies told me that he died on the battlefield while covering your retreat."

Upon hearing this news, Jiang Chen's eyes were red, filled with anger and pain. He clenched his fists, and his chest heaved, as if a flame was burning in his chest.

"Damned Western Region Army, I will make you pay with blood!" His voice was filled with suppressed anger, as if it was about to explode at the next moment.

Yelu Mengmeng saw Jiang Chen's expression and took his hand, saying, "Don't be too sad. Fortunately, the young master of the Zhong family is fine. Before I found you, I encountered him and exchanged blows. Although he wasn't injured, he was very weak. I saw that he was your man, so we didn't make things difficult for him and let him go."

Jiang Chen took a deep breath and said gratefully to the Third Princess, "Thank you, Third Princess."

At this moment, a quick shout suddenly came from outside the tent, breaking the dull atmosphere in the tent.

"Report!" A loud female voice came from outside the camp, with a hint of urgency.

"Come in!" Yelu Mengmeng looked up and responded.

The curtain was lifted, and a female general in silver armor walked in.

She was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a dashing figure and a heroic air between her brows. Her eyes were bright as stars, her nose was high, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, revealing an indomitable spirit.

A long sword hung at his waist, and with every step he took, he exuded an air of fortitude.

Yelu Mengmeng saw her come in and asked in a slightly hurried tone, "What's wrong, Pei'er? Is there any further news?"

Yelu Pei'er nodded slightly, clasped his fists, and said, "Third Princess, I have the latest news from Liangzhou City!"

When Jiang Chen heard the words "Liangzhou City", he immediately perked up and couldn't help but take a step forward: "Ah? Any news?"

Yelu Pei'er glanced at Jiang Chen, then at Yelu Mengmeng, obviously hesitant.

Yelu Mengmeng looked at Jiang Chen's impatient expression and couldn't help but feel helpless: "Look how excited you are."

She turned to Yelu Pei'er and said, "Tell me, the Third Prince Consort is still thinking about his brother, Dalliang."

"The Third Prince Consort?" Jiang Chen's heart tightened when he heard this title, but he still remained calm on his face.

Yelu Pei'er smiled faintly and explained with a hint of embarrassment, "News has come from the front that the Daliang General has led nearly 100,000 troops into Liangzhou City and is confronting the Western Liang army outside Liangzhou City."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen's brows relaxed, revealing a hint of joy: "The General has arrived? That's great! Where's Zhong Xiaodan? How is he?"

Yelu Pei'er looked at Jiang Chen and replied, "My Lord, both of the Zhong family's sons have returned to Liangzhou City. One of them is injured, but his life is not in danger."

After Jiang Chen heard Yelu Pei'er talk about the third prince consort, he felt helpless again!

But what worried him even more was hearing that Zhong Xiaodan was injured. His brows furrowed again: "Injured?"

Yelu Pei'er nodded: "Yes, the Third Prince Consort."

She paused, then turned to Yelu Mengmeng and reported, "Princess, this is all the information we have gathered for now."

Yelu Mengmeng's expression remained unchanged as he calmly said, "Very good. I'll investigate further and report back later!"

Yelu Pei'er nodded and replied, "Yes! Princess!"

Before turning around and leaving, Yelu Pei'er suddenly wrinkled her nose, a puzzled expression on her face: "Princess, what's the smell in your military camp?"

Yelu Mengmeng was stunned for a moment and her face turned red instantly.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

She coughed tactically, hurriedly hiding her embarrassment, and glared at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen almost couldn't help laughing when he saw her reaction.

"Why are you caring so much?" Yelu Mengmeng scolded hurriedly, trying to change the subject. "Hurry up and get down to business!"

Yelu Pei'er was a little confused, but still obeyed the order: "Yes, Princess!" She turned and left the tent.

The atmosphere in the tent seemed a little subtle for a moment, and Jiang Chen finally couldn't help laughing.

Seeing this, Yelu Mengmeng glared at him angrily: "What are you laughing at?"

Jiang Chen suppressed his laughter and shook his head in an innocent manner: "Nothing, I just wondered why there was such a nice fragrance in the Third Princess's military camp."

Yelu Mengmeng looked embarrassed, her face turning redder and redder, but she quickly regained her composure and snorted coldly, "Don't think you can take advantage of me! You should pay more attention to the situation in Daliang."

After Jiang Chen heard Daliang, his head sank!

Suddenly, an idea flashed across his mind, and he stared at Yelu Mengmeng and said!

Yelu Mengmeng felt goosebumps all over when he looked at her!

He said unhappily, "What are you doing? What tricks are you planning?"

Jiang Chen said: "Well...Mrs. Mengmeng, do you have any way to help me..."

"no!"

Yelu Mengmeng refused without even hearing Jiang Chen finish his words!

Jiang Chen felt very embarrassed, but he knew that although Yelu Mengmeng said so, there must be a way to send him back.

Yelu Mengmeng pouted: "Hmph! I'm going to take you back to Northern Qiang, and don't even think about the rest..."

Jiang Chen felt helpless and said, "Alright, Meng'er! I have to go back to see my soldiers first. When I'm done, I'll go to Beiqiang to see you. How are you doing?"

"Hmph!" Yelu Mengmeng turned around.

The air was filled with silent awkwardness...

Suddenly, Yelu Mengmeng's body shook, and a choking sound was heard in the air!

Jiang Chen noticed something was wrong and stood up to check, only to see Yelu Mengmeng crying!

This sudden change startled Jiang Chen, but he didn't say anything...
