Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1396 - 451: Lust Clouds the Mind; Ignorant of Danger; Chui Mountain Changes Hands; Cai Shiqi Shattered; Intimidation

The four people at the same table quickly noticed Cai Shiqing’s gaze, following his line of sight, they too noticed the woman sitting by the window ahead.

However, upon noticing her, they immediately frowned.

One of them directly spoke in a low voice, reminding Cai Shiqing, "Sir, that woman seems a bit unusual!"

While the other three didn’t speak, they all nodded in agreement.

All four of them had strength slightly above 40 Zong, and for the woman to silently sit on the top floor without them noticing a thing, coupled with the fact that they couldn’t perceive her Qi Muscle whatsoever at the moment, undoubtedly showed that the woman’s strength was out of the ordinary.

The four felt that way, even more so did the strongest among them, Cai Shiqing.

Given his usual temperament, he would have already charged up, but his gaze lingering on the woman for so long without any action clearly showed that he too recognized the woman’s exceptional nature.

The wicked look in his eyes grew more intense, ultimately overpowering reason, and he signaled to the four with a glance.

The four servants knew their master’s temperament best, and upon receiving Cai Shiqing’s signal, they immediately understood, directly standing up.

The four left the table and headed straight for the woman in white.

"May I ask the lady..."

The strongest among the four, Cai Wan, walked to the table and was the first to speak.

Tap, tap, tap...

Just as he began to speak, his words were interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps from below.

Five burly generals wearing Mystic Gold Armor, carrying strong bows, and wielding various sharp blades quickly ran up from downstairs. Seeing Cai Wan’s group standing in front of the woman’s table, they frowned sharply but said nothing, just swiftly walked in front of the woman.

"Greetings, madam!"

The five first bowed respectfully to the woman, then the leading young man holding a double-edged giant axe stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Your subordinate Yuan Cheng greets madam. The fifteen soldiers scattered throughout the city have all gathered, surrounding the entire inner city area, just waiting for madam’s command!"

"Good, wait here for a moment. Let the military camp continue for a while, I’ve sent Xiang Fuhai to the Lord’s Hall to inquire, we’ll wait for him to return. It’s strange, Duan Hong hasn’t appeared yet..."

The woman in white pondered for a moment, then slightly raised her head, first casting an expressionless glance at Cai Wan’s group, and then shifted her gaze to Cai Shiqing behind them, with a hint of coldness in her beautiful eyes above the veil.

At this moment, Cai Wan’s group, including Cai Shiqing who was seated behind, had their expressions frozen. More precisely, since the five burly generals came upstairs, their expressions changed instantly.

Cai Wan’s group changed their expressions because, among the newcomers, they could only see through the strength of the middle-aged general at the back holding a long stick.

Moreover, even the middle-aged general whose strength they could see through had a power of up to 40 Zong, almost on par with them.

This meant the other four must be even stronger.

Importantly, these five all bowed respectfully to the woman in white!

What does that mean?

Cai Shiqing’s face was even more serious, his 48 Zong strength allowing him to see more than Cai Wan and the others.

Besides the 40 Zong middle-aged man with the long stick at the end, among the remaining four, the strongest, Yuan Cheng, just over thirty, had power above his own, estimated at least 50 Zong; the two behind, both holding longswords, similar in age to Yuan Cheng, had strengths of 48 Zong and 45 Zong respectively; the fourth, with a saber at his waist, appeared even younger than the previous three, with a strength of 43 Zong.

Of course, strength was secondary; the main reason for Cai Shiqing’s sudden severe expression was the gesture of respect the five showed to the woman in white, as well as what Yuan Cheng said moments ago.

Fifteen soldiers scattered throughout the city have gathered;

They have surrounded the entire inner city area;

Just waiting for madam’s command...

What does this mean?

Cai Shiqing had too little information, and he couldn’t infer any useful clues from these few words. He simply felt that the coup planned by the princely heir seemed to have developed some new variable.

Yes, a new variable!

In the coup arranged by Cai Shiqi, Cai Shiqing was involved throughout, so he was well aware of what the original plan was.

The six thousand Defensive Army just now were beyond the plan, Mu Qinghe didn’t inform them in advance; Mu Longhe’s later appearance was even more unexpected; and then this new great army appears...

Cai Shiqing furrowed his brows, constantly replaying thoughts in his mind, when suddenly another figure quietly appeared on the top floor.

It was an old man in black with silver Coiled Dragon Pattern Long Stick, his hair was white.

Despite the old man’s white hair, his eyes were bright, full of spirit, and without any visible movement, he appeared next to the woman in white’s table in the next second, bowing down respectfully, "The old one greets madam, just as madam anticipated, Duan Hong was indeed trapped by that Cai Qiu Prince, but I see that the golden shield won’t last very long, in no more than ten minutes, Duan Hong will be freed!"

"Who exactly are you people, daring to interfere in my Cai Qiu’s affairs?"

Upon hearing this, Cai Shiqing finally couldn’t remain seated.

Even though he saw the black-robed elder had Xianyang level cultivation, for the Xianyang level of such a remote area like the Nine Towns Territory, he had no shred of fear whatsoever, directly standing up, shouting angrily and questioning the other party.
