I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

Everyone else was drinking and playing drinking games, having a great time.

Wei Hongying had no such thoughts; she was busy discussing with Su Chen how to fight the battle tomorrow.

Although Su Chen's advancement speed was much slower than Qin Li's, Su Chen's sixth-grade martial arts realm was still among the best in the vanguard camp, making him an extremely sharp spear in her hands.

If used properly, defeating the Ironclad Cavalry is not impossible.

As the two were discussing, Su Chen suddenly lost focus and nudged her lightly with his elbow. Wei Hongying was about to get angry when Su Chen gestured with his lip, indicating for her to look.

Wei Hongying then looked up and saw that Wu Daxiong had brought a bowl of wine to her and Su Chen's table.

Wei Hongying narrowed her eyes, thinking to herself, "Trouble is coming!"

Not only did she feel this way, but everyone in the central command tent felt the same way.

However, most people were just watching the show with amusement.

As for stepping in to help, that's even more of an impossible thing to do.

Qin Feng and Su Chen both looked at Qin Li, who was in the main seat.

If others won't help, Qin Li will surely come to the rescue.

These days, Qin Li's kindness towards Wei Hongying has spread throughout the army.

Everyone says that after returning to the capital, Qin Li will petition the emperor to dissolve the engagement between Wei Hongying and Qin Feng, and then Qin Li will marry Wei Hongying.

But Qin Li didn't. He remained seated in the main seat, holding a wine glass, watching with great interest.

"Captain Wei, what happened before was all a misunderstanding. Please don't take it to heart. I don't mean to look down on you. Tonight, I'll apologize to you!"

Wu Daxiong, holding his wine bowl, spoke with a sincere expression.

For a fleeting moment, even Wei Hongying felt that Wu Daxiong was genuinely apologizing.

Wei Hongying stood up, picked up the untouched wine bowl in front of her, and said, "General Wu, you flatter me. I did not fight well in that battle before. I am not afraid of being criticized, General Wu, you do not need to apologize to me!"

Wu Daxiong's eye twitched. Damn it, this woman didn't fall for it, leaving him speechless.

According to his and Chen Gui's plan, he would instigate a conflict between himself and Wei Hongying. Given Wei Hongying's personality, she would definitely argue with him, and only then could the plan proceed smoothly.

But to everyone's surprise, Wei Hongying actually "realized her mistake".

His punch landed on cotton.

Never mind, let's just go for it!

Having made up his mind, Wu Daxiong pushed the wine bowl forward again. "Since the Commandant of the Guards also feels that he didn't fight well in the last battle, how about letting me, Wu Daxiong, take the lead in tomorrow's battle?"

Wei Hongying narrowed her eyes.

She knew Wu Daxiong wasn't up to any good!

Sure enough, the true culprit was revealed!

The apology was a pretense; Wu Daxiong's real purpose was to snatch the opportunity to confront the Iron Pagoda head-on tomorrow from her!

Forcing a smile, Wei Hongying said, "General Wu, isn't this inappropriate?"

As they were talking, Wei Hongying put down her wine bowl and cupped her hands towards Qin Li, who was watching the show:

"His Highness already gave the order for my vanguard battalion to go into battle tomorrow; the entire army knows this!"

"General Wu, are you trying to seize it? Are you disobeying His Highness's orders?"

"Disobeying military orders is punishable by death!"

Wei Hongying emphasized the word "斩" (zhǎn, meaning "to cut" or "to chop").

She wanted to use Qin Li's power to make Wu Daxiong back down.

Wu Daxiong wouldn't risk Qin Li's pressure by trying to snatch it from her.

"That's not all," Wei Hongying continued, "For tomorrow's battle, all the soldiers of my vanguard battalion have been training day and night with unwavering determination. They've not only sweated but also bled. Ask yourselves honestly, which of your battalions has trained as hard as my vanguard battalion?"

Upon hearing this, the generals all nodded.

That's true; they've all seen how hard the vanguard soldiers have been working these past few days.

If they were to train at the intensity of the vanguard battalion, they wouldn't even last half a day.

Finally, Wei Hongying said, "All the soldiers of my vanguard battalion are equipped with secret weapons tailor-made for us by His Highness the Seventh Prince to fight against the Northern Barbarian Iron Pagoda."

"General Wu, do your soldiers know the weaknesses of the Iron Pagoda?"

These words seem to suggest that Wu Daxiong's subordinates were unaware of the Ironclad Cavalry's weaknesses.

In reality, Wei Hongying brought up Qin Feng in addition to Qin Li.

Let the two princes put pressure on Wu Daxiong.

To snatch the mission from the vanguard, you have to get past the two princes first.

After being bombarded with questions, Wu Daxiong was left speechless.

Damn it!

He had underestimated Wei Hongying before.

This girl not only has a bad temper, but she also has a sharp tongue!

No wonder she could charm the eldest prince so easily.

Taking a deep breath, Wu Daxiong said, "Look at what the Commandant Wei is saying. How could I, Wu Daxiong, disobey military orders? Everyone knows that I, Wu Daxiong, only ever obey the orders of my superiors."

"fart!"

At this moment, someone exposed Wu Daxiong's shortcomings, saying, "Wu Daxiong, how dare you say such a thing? If you hadn't disobeyed General Su's orders and arbitrarily withdrawn from the position ahead of schedule, how could General Su have been cut off from his retreat?"

"General Su, you're the one who killed him!"

After saying this, Wu Daxiong had no time to bother the person who exposed his shortcomings.

Because Su Chen, standing in front of him, had already stood up with a gloomy face.

General Su was Su Chen's grandfather, and Wu Daxiong killed Su Chen's grandfather.

Given Su Chen's personality, the reason he hasn't made a move yet is because of the special occasion tonight.

Otherwise, Su Chen would have already taken his halberd and cleaved Wu Daxiong in two!

"Your Highness, it's a misunderstanding..."

Wu Daxiong couldn't help but stammer.

My knees went weak and I was about to kneel down.

Although Su Chen was not as famous or prestigious as his grandfather, General Su.

But this guy has wiped out countless bandit dens along the way, leaving no survivors. He can be described as ruthless.

If he falls into Su Chen's hands, he will definitely suffer the consequences.

Seeing that Wu Daxiong was of no use, Chen Gui took a deep breath, picked up his wine bowl, and walked over.

I'll watch his show again tonight.

Once it's done, Wu Daxiong won't be able to take his boss position.

Lifting Wu Daxiong's arm as he was about to kneel, Chen Gui said to Su Chen, "Young Master, don't be angry. Even if General Wu is wrong, we should wait until after the great battle with the Northern Barbarians tomorrow before discussing it further."

Su Chen pointed at Wu Daxiong and said fiercely, "Wu Daxiong, you just wait!"

"I'll settle accounts with you after I achieve a great victory against the Ironclad Cavalry tomorrow."

"If you dare to run, you can run away, but you can't hide!"

After saying that, Su Chen sat down angrily and drank his wine in large gulps.

After dealing with Su Chen, Chen Gui looked at Wei Hongying and said, "Captain Wei, don't scare General Wu."

Wei Hongying laughed and said, "General Chen, what are you saying? I, Wei Hongying, am just a lowly captain. How could I possibly frighten you, General Chen?"

With a cold snort, Chen Gui said, "In the army, strength reigns supreme! The vanguard battalion of the Imperial Guard has already suffered a defeat. In tomorrow's battle, I don't think the Imperial Guard needs to go out to fight."

"What, General Chen, are you also going to disobey His Highness the Crown Prince's military orders?"
