Chapter 1144 – Preposterous Order

* * *

The water gurgled, the wooden ladle drifting over it. The Green Leaf had still not returned. Tonight's dinner was still very simple.

Chen Changsheng and Gou Hanshi were eating faster than usual. For the former, this was quite the rare occurrence.

From this detail, one could imagine just how important the documents they needed to discuss tonight were.

The plates on their desks were cleared away and An Hua brought them some green orange water for them to rinse their mouths, presented with scalding hot towels.

A small mountain of documents was piled up in the corner of the hall. The ones they needed to see had already been picked out and organized.

The hall remained silent throughout the night. Chen Changsheng and Gou Hanshi read the documents in their hands, saying nothing for a very long time.

They had been informed of the conclusion of that battle long ago, but it was only now that they were learning of many details.

No one could have expected that the Prince of Xiang would silently cast off the thirty thousand soldiers of the Western Army Right Camp and hide all alone near the peak of Mount Nuorilang.

With both the Demon Commander and Wang Po heavily injured, he leapt out of the sun and unleashed the strongest attack of his entire life.

If this sneak attack succeeded, his leaving the camp without being ordered naturally wouldn't be a big deal, and he would have the greatest achievement since the start of this war.

The Prince of Xiang could exchange this achievement for Prince Chen Liu's departure from the capital, or he could redeem it for an honor like the Iron Ticket of Redemption. Both would have been extremely easy. (TN: The Iron Ticket of Redemption, 免死铁券, was a reward bestowed during the Ming Dynasty. If a minister committed a crime, they could use the Iron Ticket of Redemption to save them from the death penalty.)

Perhaps it was precisely with these things in mind that the Prince of Xiang had taken such a risky and fearless action.

Alas, he still underestimated the strength of the Demon Commander.

Wang Po was heavily injured and unable to join in the assault.

The Demon Commander had also taken significant injuries, but she was not burned to death by that searing sun.

The darkness in the valley had served as her weapon at the crucial moment.

Those who witnessed this were so shocked that they were powerless to speak.

The Prince of Xiang was unwilling to retreat, so his sneak attack became a forceful assault.

The Demon Commander paid the Mountain-toppling Fiend as the price to escape the summit of Mount Nuorilang.

The Prince of Xiang stood on the head of the dead Mountain-toppling Fiend and watched the Demon Commander escape to the north. His confidence surging, his forceful assault became a pursuit.

He pursued for six hundred li, but he still failed to kill the Demon Commander. Black Robe had set up an array, and four high-ranking Demon Generals were waiting for him.

If not for the Mount Li Sect Master's prompt arrival, the Prince of Xiang would have died on the spot.
