Everyone understood what Liu Sanniang meant almost instantly. They were immediately excited. A soldier said excitedly, “Your Highness, please allow me to go on the ring again.”

They were all people who had been defeated by the two princesses. The pain of being humiliated made them wish they could die. Now that they knew that the two princesses had actually cheated, their hearts burned with anger.

Under Liu Sanniang’s treatment, their injuries healed and scabbed over, so they requested to fight again.

Countless soldiers wanted to prove themselves.

The wounds on their bodies had healed, but the wounds on their hearts had not.

Xia Hongming said to Liu Sanniang, “Miss Liu, what do you think?”

Liu Sanniang smiled. “Tomorrow, the two princesses will personally choose their opponents. It’s not certain if you will be chosen, so 1 will give you strength.”

The soldiers were excited.

Xia Hongming suppressed his excitement. He was afraid that if he didn’t suppress it, he would go crazy.

Over a hundred soldiers were gathered. Some were injured, and some hadn’t yet gone to the ring. When they saw that the injured soldiers had recovered, their eyes were filled with confusion.

Lu Zhen came in Zhang Zhi’s place. He looked at the soldiers who were supposed to be seriously injured and revealed a puzzled expression.

Xia Hongming said in a low voice, “Everyone, be quiet.”

Lu Zhen saw Liu Sanniang through the crowd. He was stunned for a moment before he seemed to understand something.

Xia Hongming explained to everyone why they were defeated by the two princesses today. After hearing that, everyone looked angry.

“The Jin Dynasty and the Yan Dynasty don’t really want to make peace. They’re simply playing with us like we’re fools.”

“That’s right. In my opinion, we shouldn’t have negotiated with them. With a fierce general like General Chu leading us, we can flatten them.”

Xia Hongming raised his hand and everyone quietened down. Xia Hongming’s eyes darkened as he said, “Since the Yan Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty have humiliated us like this, we naturally have to take revenge. Tomorrow, Miss Liu will help us make this competition fair for you.”

“They cheated first, so we naturally won’t let them off easily. We want an eye for an eye.”

Xia Hongming narrowed his eyes. Previously, he was shocked by Su Ran and Lei Lian, but when he found out that they actually used the power of heaven and earth, Xia Hongming was disgusted. Thinking back to how high and mighty the two princesses looked, he felt indignant.

How could he let his soldiers suffer for nothing? Naturally, he had to return it.

“Yes, Your Highness.”

The soldiers knelt on one knee and said in unison.

Xia Hongming looked at Liu Sanniang. Liu Sanniang said calmly, “Before tomorrow, I’ll give you the talismans to activate an array formation. There’s no need for too many people. Twenty people is enough.”

In that case, there would be many people who would not have the chance to go on the ring.

Some soldiers felt that it was a pity.

However, even if they could not participate, they could still cheer on from the side.

Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan left the palace.

Su Yanyu bounced happily and said with a smile, “There’s a good show to watch tomorrow. 1 like to watch shows.”

Su Yanyu, Liu Sanniang, and Chu Yan returned to the general’s mansion together. The three of them were about to return to the courtyard when they saw Madam Li walking over with a basket. “Yan, Sanniang, Young Marquis, you’re back. How was the competition in the palace?”

Madam Li smiled obsequiously as she sized up the three of them with her eyes, trying to find some useful information from their expressions.

Chu Yan glanced at Madam Li. Madam Li had asked something she shouldn’t.

Meeting Chu Yan’s cold eyes, Madam Li felt a chill run down her spine, almost freezing her. She subconsciously wanted to escape. “We, we’re all family… 1,1’11 leave first.”

Madam Li wanted to say that she just wanted to show her concern, but she could not bring herself to say it. The feeling of her hair standing on end was too scary. She shrank her neck and turned to run away.

She didn’t necessarily have to ask them for information. After all, there would definitely be news about such a big thing spreading in the capital.

Madam Li walked very quickly. When she turned a corner and was out of sight, she leaned against the wall and panted heavily. She reached out and pressed her hand on her heart to feel the rapid heartbeat. Madam Li cursed under her breath, “Damn it, why is he getting more and more terrifying? He’s not filial at all. After all, I’m his stepmother.”

Madam Li spat in disdain and turned around to return to her courtyard.

When she returned to the courtyard and saw that Mr. Chu was plowing the land and planting vegetables, Madam Li was a little annoyed. “How many times have 1 told you? You’re now the father of the general of Dingbei. Why are you still doing these lowly things? If people find out that the father of the general of Dingbei is farming, it will be very embarrassing, okay?”

Madam Li looked down on Mr. Chu from the bottom of her heart.

Mr. Chu frowned. “There is nothing for me to do here. What’s wrong with me planting some vegetables? We’re farmers. It’s normal for us to farm. Don’t think about things you shouldn’t think about. Go buy some chickens and ducks to raise. 1 think Yan likes to eat these in his courtyard. It’s better to raise them ourselves..”
