The princess was ordained by Heaven.

Urisu said impatiently, "After all this babbling, what have you come up with? Have you been scared out of your wits by your grandpa?"

Lü Mengying jumped off her horse, brandishing her sword: "Make your move."

Urisu looked her up and down a few times: "You? I don't kill nameless nobody."

Lu Mengying didn't bother to waste words with him.

The sword moved like a dragon, aiming straight for Urisu's vitals.

Urisu was an expert; he knew the person in front of him was a formidable character the moment Lü Mengying raised her hand.

He dared not let his guard down any longer, and used his long sword to parry vital points.

Yes, even though he was wary, he still had no intention of dodging; instead, he decided to confront them head-on.

Ultimately, it stems from his deep-seated prejudice against women.

His knife not only looked more imposing than Lü Mengying's sword, but his movements were also more expansive and powerful.

Swords clashed, the clang of weapons echoed, and the sound lingered long afterward.

Despite the swords and spears being ineffective, the people around them couldn't help but retreat, giving them a more spacious battlefield.

Only a handful of people saw the way.

The absence of power in swords and blades does not signify weakness, but rather a return to simplicity.

Even if those around them didn't understand, their instinctive vigilance still led them to choose to avoid the area.

The two men, locked in a struggle, were so focused on their own situation that they had no energy left to observe their surroundings.

Their eyes met; one was calm, the other solemn.

A moment later, Urisu realized that his plan to use brute force to overcome skill would not work.

He suddenly grinned and took the lead in retreating.

Lü Mengying stood firmly and did not lose her composure.

“Good! The Great Yong is full of hidden talents. You are a master, yet you are just a lowly soldier. Jianyang’s judgment is poor. Why not join our Brown Kingdom?” Urisu’s tone showed no displeasure at being humiliated, only the excitement of meeting a worthy opponent.

"Even a defeated general dares to utter nonsense."

Zhang Dairong chimed in, "That's right! Grandma's good grandson, if you're scared, so be it. Why put on such a show?"

"Following the Brown Kingdom will lead nowhere. Kneel down and call me 'Grandma,' and I'll make you a dog of the Great Yong!"

……

The Red Eagle soldiers were numerous and determined to overwhelm the enemy with their momentum, so when they started jeering, each one was louder than the last.

The two combatants were unaffected.

With a flick of her wrist, Lü Mengying leaped forward.

This time, there was no longer any probing involved.

In the blink of an eye, the two had already exchanged several blows.

Despite having just fought for three days, Ursu was still in high spirits.

There was even a strange sense of excitement.

Lu Mengying noticed his strange behavior and decisively switched from offense to defense.

Although the source of Ursu's abnormality is unknown, such explosive states usually do not last long.

To be on the safe side, she wanted to delay for a while and see if she could find a loophole.

Seeing this, Urisu became even more arrogant.

Zhang Dairong nervously tightened the reins, silently praying in her heart: It's over, is she going to lose? Don't lose, please don't lose.

It was clear to everyone that Urisu was gradually gaining the upper hand.

Urisu's men, no longer demoralized after their defeat, became arrogant and aggressive.

On the Red Eagle Army side, no matter what they were thinking, they didn't show it on their faces. They all looked more composed and unfathomable than the last.

When the time was right, Lü Mengying launched another attack.

No one expected that in just three moves, Wu Risu's tendons in his hands and feet would be severed, his martial arts skills would be completely lost, and he would only have brute strength left.

Urisu stared at his hands and feet in disbelief.

I still don't understand what happened.

Not to mention him, everyone else was equally confused.

Lu Mengying sheathed her sword, returned to Jianyang, and clasped her hands in a salute: "I have not failed you!"

Jianyang kept a straight face: "Have you had enough fun? Dai Rong, take the others away."

Lu Mengying silently returned to the group, mounted her horse, and showed no sign of having just done anything significant.

Jianyang walked up to Wurisu and patted his face: "Foolish Wurisu, you probably don't know that you are doomed to die today."

She looked at one of the people being taken away.

In fact, Urisu was well hidden, but he always managed to expose himself at just the right moment.

Jianyang knew very well that there were no spies from Dayong around Wurisu.

Therefore, the problem must be internal to the Brown Kingdom.

As she expected, Mo Sheng was indeed prepared.

However, after discovering that Jianyang was wary of him, he decisively withdrew his troops, having no intention of helping Wurisu who was trapped in the enemy camp.

If she wasn't mistaken, Mo Sheng was probably hoping that Wu Risu would die right now.

It must have been Mo Sheng's men who exposed Wurisu's location.

It's a pity she couldn't send Wurisu back to cause trouble for Mo Sheng; she could only be the "knife" used to kill someone else.

However, Mo Sheng must be having a hard time too, and it's unknown how he will explain things to Qi Yongji.

Jianyang snapped out of his thoughts and escorted Wurisu back in triumph.

On the other side, Zhang Dairong had already circled around Lü Mengying three times.

Lu Mengying, unable to contain herself any longer, asked, "What do you want to say?"

Zhang Dairong coughed a few times, embarrassed: "Ahem... Well, I'm just a little curious, how did you defeat Wurisu?"

“Urisu has always been known for his bravery. Whenever he is at a disadvantage, he will invariably unleash a combat power beyond his usual level. This cannot be a coincidence. I have been watching him and noticed that he eats. I guess that his abnormality is due to the use of drugs. No matter what kind of drugs they are, the more intense the outburst, the weaker he will be after the effects of the drugs wear off, and it certainly won't last long. I originally planned to stall until the effects of the drugs wore off.”

Zhang Dairong was flattered and overwhelmed.

She didn't understand why someone who was usually so sparing with words would be willing to talk to her so much.

Could it be that... Lü Mengying actually admires her too?

No, why did she use "also"?

Zhang Dairong didn't delve into the question, but instead stared intently at Lü Mengying: "And then?"

"Then, I discovered his weakness and vulnerability."

"How is this done?"

"It's a kind of instinct formed through long-term combat. A martial artist will never easily reveal his weaknesses. You only need to look at what he tries his best to hide and protect to know where his weaknesses are."

Zhang Dairong knew it wouldn't be that easy: "You also need to be able to endure under Wurisu's command for a long enough time, and you also need to have the spare capacity to pay attention to other things."

Seeing the two chatting happily, Jianyang smiled to himself.

The atmosphere in the Red Eagle Army was also very relaxed.

Although many sacrifices were made, at least this battle was won.

Everyone knows that winning sooner means fewer casualties.

This was not the first battle won by the Red Eagle Army, but it was the starting point for their renewed fame.

This time, the entire Dayong will see their presence.

……

Unlike the great victory in the West, the situation in the East was becoming increasingly dire.

Even though all precautions have been taken, the number of people infected with the disease is still increasing.

It's as if an invisible hand is secretly manipulating fate, pushing them toward a bottomless abyss.

"What do you mean by manipulating fate? Wang Feiyu, how can a military general act like a scholar?"

Pang Yunyi raised his foot in disgust, wanting to kick him, but quickly remembered that he was His Highness's man, and stopped himself.

He casually withdrew his foot, then raised his voice: "Stop talking nonsense!"
