Ho, you have quite the attitude there General. Let me remind you something. According to the laws of Da Xia, the alchemists of the Royal Hospital are not under the command chain of the military. Although you are the commanding general of this subjugation force, it doesnt mean you can order me around and dictate when I go take up my post at Dan City. Now that did it. The ridiculing comment from Ling Yue instantly sent the man fuming with rage. Heck, one can practically smell the gunpowder in the air at this moment.

Humph, Lan Ling Yue, you better pray that you dont make any mistake during your stay at Dan City. Otherwise, I will surely report you to the Court. With a whisk of his hand, Hong Fang takes his leave in a disgruntled manner.

Princess Yue, are you and General Hong at odds with each other? Nie Feng Hang can tell the two was literally like ice and fire, totally incompatible.

What at odds, more like open enemies if you must know. General Nie, do you know why he was dismissed from his original position in Court? Its all because of my dear sister Ling Yue here. Lan Caier was overjoyed from seeing how Hong Fang had to suffer at their hands.

Now thats news for the general. He didnt expect someone so scheming and experienced like Hong Fang to be defeated by a young lass that wasnt even an adult yet.

Oh Sister, you should stop flattering me. General Nie, I only follow one rule in life and that is to return thy treatment in kind. If someone is kind to me then I will be good to them. If they are mean to me then I will return in fold. Well then, I think my sister and I have rested enough here already. Its time we continued on our journey again. I hope you can take care of my. Brother Ye while Im not around.

Although Hong Fang cannot do anything in this current situation, but the deadline set for her to reach Dan City was quickly approaching. Besides, Ling Yue didnt want to rouse anymore trouble during this period either.

Aside from that, Ling Yue can now put her worry to rest while her mothers in the army. With Nie Feng Hang around, shes certain nothing bad will come to past so long nothing major occurs.

While the girls remark didnt sound remotely threatening or aggressive, it was strangely so to the general. In fact, the respectable man didnt know why either, but his movement surprised even himself when he nodded out of reflex afterwards.

I must be overthinking this.

After bidding farewell to the general, Ling Yue only had a short timeframe to see to her mother back at camp.

Ling Yue, you must be extra careful while in Dan City. Caressing her daughters head, Ye Huang Yu was both happy and sad at the same time that her daughter was growing so well. One was that Ling Yues in good health, the other that she cant be around to watch her grow.

Dont worry Mother, Ill be careful for sure. Rather its you Im worried about. You must be careful while in Flag City. Here, take these two bottles with you. One will help you grow some rashes on your face. Its temporary and can help deter anyone from recognizing you. The other is the cure. Once you take it then the rashes will disappear automatically and not leave any scars. In the end, Ling Yue was most worried about Hong Fang recognizing her mother.

For a man like that who would harm his own wife and child, what else can he not do?

With their farewells complete and over with, Lan Caier and Ling Yue didnt dally around and directly took to the road. With their galloping figures soon out of view, the disguised woman could only clench onto the bottles in her hands while she stood there on the cliff. She wanted to be with her daughter, she really did. However, Ye Huang Yu knew she mustnt. Not now, not yet.

With her mind set, she returns to camp after consuming the first pill. It didnt take long, merely minutes before the small rashes took over her face. To say rashes was truly an understatement because it nearly disfigured her. Heck, even the person herself had trouble recognizing that face through the basin of water.

Captain, the general is requesting your presence. They say the commanding general is demanding a meeting with the officers, one of the soldiers came in to report.

Originally Ye Huang Yu wouldnt be qualified to attend such a meeting, but due to Nie Feng Hangs insistence that shes one of his best military officer, Hong Fang can only relent. Not even that hateful man would refuse such a simple request if the consequences of saying no was a open refusal to attend by the man.

Due to that reasoning, the focus of the attendees were immediately focused on her the second she walked in.

In particular was Hong Fang. He originally intended to take a good look at who the man was to warrant such praises from his foe, but after seeing how ugly Ye Huang Yu was in her new appearance, his interest immediately died out.

Ye Huang, your face Nie Feng Hang was very surprised by what he saw because its only been one morning since he last saw her.

Reporting to the generals, I was careless and had come down with the measles, she intentionally pressed her voice until it became harsh and grunty.

Alright, enough, go get behind your superiors back and we shall begin. Hong Fang didnt even want to waste that much time with her because of how disgusted he was by that face.

Relieved by the waving gesture to be moved along, Ye Huang Yu actively strolled over to Nie Feng Hangs back to act as a proper aid like expected.

Because of the natural disaster that had struck the Black Valley, we are now faced with a problem of our own. Though the numbers arent absolute correct, its safe to assume several thousand high-class spirits beasts are currently on the loose out there in the Northwestern Plains and is now a threat to the nearby settlements. To combat this critical situation, Ive already sent word to Flag City requesting for help. We can expect His Highness the fourth prince to come with reinforcements by tomorrow. Using this meeting, Hong Fang went over the entire situation thats happening around the region with everyone.

General Nie, you are most familiar with the terrains here. Im tasking you and your Tiger Wolf Battalion with patrolling the nearby towns and villages. They will be responsible for protecting the local people. Upon hearing this order, Ye Huang Yu immediately made a frown.

Its common knowledge that the Tiger Wolf Army was the bravest and most highly trained battalion in the kingdom. To use such elite troops on the defensive, its an obvious snub to the one in charge, which was Nie Feng Hang here.

Naturally, the man himself wouldnt be oblivious to what Hong Fang was planning. Its undeniable Nie Feng Hang would be dissatisfied with this arrangement, but hes not going to lash out either in front of so many of his peers.

To get no objection, Hong Fang cant be anymore happy here. He knows Nie Feng Hang had already accomplished quite the long list of military merits under his belt. If this subjugation also falls into the mans hand, Hong Fang wouldnt put it past the king to directly bestow the person with a Marquis title of his own.

Over the years it wasnt easy for the Hong House to climb up to being the leader of the big four. Whether it be from a private standpoint or from his familys standpoint, he wouldnt want to see Nie Feng Hang standing out more than he already does.

I accept the order, this famous general complies readily without flinching, rousing the snickering chuckles of the other generals here.

They know very well why Nie Feng Hang was being pushed to the rear, and they are also very happy to see to this arrangement because they had never been kind either like Hong Fang.

Thats what you get. From this day forward you, Nie Feng Hang, can no longer act like the boss in the Northwestern Plains! Its our turn and you can only watch from the back
