"I see, then you can keep your gold mines. I am going to take a nap." Fang Zhengzhi waved them off and leaned back.
"Fang Zhengzhi!" Princess Shan Yu raged.
"Is there anything else, Princess?"
"Okay, I agree to your terms. Can you tell us the plan now?" Princess Shan Yu's eyes glimmered.
"Your Highness, you can't!"
"You can't give the life source of the Southern Region to such a thief!"
"Your highness!"
All of the generals pleaded when they heard what Princess Shan Yu said.
"Shut up!" Princess Shan Yu bellowed and beamed at Fang Zhengzhi. "Fang Zhengzhi, I promise to give you the 10 biggest gold mines. Are you happy now? Tell us your plan!"
"Okay then, let's sign the paperwork!" Fang Zhengzhi's eyes glimmered when he heard this.
"Get someone to draft the agreement for the gold mines." Princess Shan Yu turned and ordered one of the generals. "Any other issues?"
"None!"
"Then tell us the plan?"
"I will after we sign the deal."
"Fang Zhengzhi, don't try to push your luck. I have already agreed to your terms. Do you really think that I won't honor my word?" Princess Shan Yu raged.
"Do you dare to swear on your gods?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at the princess with scorn and shook his head.
Does this chick...
Really think that I am stupid?
"You, you... Fang Zhengzhi, ask me for anything else and I will definitely give it to you!" Princess Shan Yu's face was flushed.
"Your Highness, did you forget what you just said? You just called me a greedy mercenary. I don't want anything other than the gold mines." Fang Zhengzhi replied.
He did not really think that he would be able to get those gold mines.
After all, Princess Shan Yu did not rule the Southern Region.
There was still the King and the Crown Prince. Even if Princess Shan Yu agreed to the terms, they may not be fulfilled.
However, he needed Princess Shan Yu to make this decision. That was the only way the had any chance of success.
Of course...
If they really became his...
10 gold mines!
What a windfall that would be.
Even if they only gave him a single gold mine, he would be able to live in luxury for many lifetimes.
Men need to be ambitious.
Without ambitions...
They would have nothing to work towards. Even if the ambition borders on the impossible...
"Fang Zhengzhi, are you not afraid that I will just kill you right now?" Princess Shan Yu's body glowed with red cloud patterns. It was clear that she was losing control over her emotions.
"I am... but, are you not afraid?" Fang Zhengzhi replied.
"What?!" Princess Shan Yu bellowed, the red light enveloping her body like an inferno.
Fang Zhengzhi was shocked by this.
All of the generals instinctively took a step back, horror and terror written all over their faces.
The tension in the tent could be cut with a knife.
The red light continued to swirl around Princess Shan Yu.
"Fine, I agree to your terms!"
After a whole 15 minutes, Princess Shan Yu finally spoke. However, this time, her tone was calm.
After she said this, all of the light dissipated instantly.
Fang Zhengzhi did not reply immediately. He pushed an exquisite leather parchment to Princess Shan Yu.
This was the second time Princess Shan Yu had agreed to the terms. But this time, Fang Zhengzhi knew that she had made up her mind.
Princess Shan Yu did not hesitate either. She walked to the table, bent over and signed the agreement.
Then, she took out a green stamp and stamped the agreement. Finally, she bit her finger and dripped a drop of her blood onto the parchment.
After she was done, she passed the agreement back to Fang Zhengzhi.
Fang Zhengzhi looked through the agreement. The names and locations of the gold mines were clearly written. Furthermore, the lease was...
Freehold!
Fang Zhengzhi's eyelids twitched and he kept the agreement. Then, he waved Princess Shan Yu over.
Princess Shan Yu frowned but decided to lean in.
Fang Zhengzhi could feel the inexplicable aura emanating from Princess Shan Yu's body. He felt as though he was in a furnace.
His heart fluttered.
But he quickly calmed himself down.
He did not announce the plan for fear of spies within the ranks. When facing the Demons, he had to take precautions. The plan can only be heard by the commander.
"Actually, I was just kidding when I asked you to send 80,000 troops to Nan Ling..." Fang Zhengzhi whispered.
"You..." Princess Shan Yu shuddered. She had no idea if this was because she was angered by what she heard or if it was a reaction to Fang Zhengzhi's breath at her ear.
"I am quite sure that the Demons from the Blood Shadow City have already taken Nan Ling Settlement. As such, the best option now is to send a party of elite soldiers to set up an ambush between Nan Ling and Iron Hill. This will buy us some time. The rest of the army will reinforce the Iron Hill Settlement!"
"Elite soldiers?"
"Yes, the fastest ones! I think that there is no better candidate than your 3000 silver horned wolves!" Fang Zhengzhi added.
"You want me to commit my 3000 silver horned wolves and the 80,000 select soldiers? Then what about the Sagely Mountain City?" Princess Shan Yu whispered.
"I will go!" Fang Zhengzhi replied without hesitation.
"You will go to the Sagely Mountain City?" Princess Shan Yu asked doubtfully.
"Of course." Fang Zhengzhi nodded. He wasn't trying to be a hero, but he was keenly aware of something else.
The Great Xia army would never stay in the Icy Monkey Settlement for long.
They would go out!
As quickly as possible!
That was their only option.
As such, the Great Xia army should have already begun marching towards the Sagely Mountain City. Furthermore, they would be fine as long as the Demons from the Blood Shadow City didn't reach the Sagely Mountain City.
He could ensure his own safety and be a hero at the same time.
Fang Zhengzhi was extremely proud of his plan.
"I don't like the idea of you going alone!" Princess Shan Yu shook her head instinctively. Then, she realized that what she just said could be easily misunderstood. She quickly added, "I don't like the idea of placing the fate of the Sagely Mountain City, the King, and my Third Brother in your hands!"
"Oh..." Fang Zhengzhi nodded, then looked at Princess Shan Yu...
...
The night was ice cold.
The day of fighting had caused the air around the Sagely Mountain City to be filled with the stench of blood.
Bodies lay in piles outside the imperial palace. The blood formed streams and puddles around the bodies.
Cries could be heard throughout the night. They were the cries of the elderly, the children, the wives... yet, there were no sounds of soldiers.
The entire capital was deathly silent.
Heavily armored soldiers guarded the walls of the imperial palace. Each of them carried a black spear in their hands.
They were the imperial guard, a group of elite soldiers loyal only to the royal family. Despite the stench of blood and the chilly air, they continued to stand tall.
Their only mission...
Guard the palace!
They were to guard this sacred ground, the most important land in all the Southern Region.
Two black figures appeared under the moonlight. Then, they quickly disappeared into the darkness, almost as if they were never there to begin with.
"Enter the city!"
"No, no we can't!"
Two voices whispered in the dark.
One voice was from a lady. Her tone was urgent. The second was male, and his tone was equally urgent.
There was no doubt...
The voices were from Princess Shan Yu and Fang Zhengzhi.
Princess Shan Yu was worried about the King and her brother. She wanted to enter the city to check on them. However, Fang Zhengzhi was in no hurry to do that.
He was panicking because...
Damn it!
Where is the Great Xia army?
He had already stalled for time, choosing to scale the city walls after dark. Yet, he still did not see a single Great Xia soldier.
There was no trace of them!
Fang Zhengzhi's plan was simple. He was sure that the Great Xia would take this opportunity to launch an attack on the Sagely Mountain City.
The plan was simple.
He would have Princess Shan Yu order the Southern Region soldiers to take over the empty Icy Monkey Settlement. Then, they would join forces with the Great Xia and devour the Demons.
But what now?
There wasn't any movement!
The plan...
Seemed to be going wrong!
