Feng Ningyan coldly stared at Duan Liushao and solemnly said, "If I, Feng Ningyan lose, I will immediately lead my troops back to the Dragon's Fang. I will not attack the city for three months!"

This time, it was the Southern Ning Army's turn to suck in a breath of cold air.

The willfulness of a young marshal was simply not inferior to this Duan Liushao's! He was betting on the fact that he would not attack for three months!

The officers hurriedly turned to look at Li Yao, hoping he would persuade the young general.

However, Li Yao faintly smiled. "What are you panicking for?" The young marshal can't attack the city, and so can we. Furthermore, not attacking the city does not mean that there are no other ways to take down the Southern Yong Pass. "

With the young marshal's intelligence, these words had long left a way out.

In any case, there was nothing to be afraid of. Diplomacy was even more so. There were traps and mystery everywhere, and it was fine to explain it however one wished.

However, Duan Liushao was inexperienced with politics, how could he hear the backing left behind by Feng Ning Yan?

He simply thought that in order to take back the Southern Yong Pass, Feng Ning Yan was willing to stake everything on this one bet, to the point of disregarding her own life and death.

Duan Liushao's heart trembled. Just as he was about to agree, Sang Huanyu loudly said, "As a wager, giving up the attack within three months is far from enough!"

Feng Ningyan's eyes turned cold. She thought to herself, could it be that this Sang Huaiyu can see through my intentions and wants to propose even more harsh conditions?

She impatiently asked, "What else do you want?"

Sang Huaiyu revealed an unfathomable smirk, "Young Marshal Feng, if you lose, then marry our crown prince as your consort and take the hundred thousand soldiers of Ningnan as your dowry!"

The moment he said this, the two armies went into an uproar.

When the warriors of the Southern Wilderness heard this, they roared with laughter on the tower.

They all felt that Sang Huaiyu was purposely mocking Feng Ningyan. After all, their crown prince had been scolded for a long time just now, so he should have vented his resentment.

However, the soldiers of the Southern Ning Army raised their spears and sabers in anger. They all vowed to charge forward and behead Sang Huaiyu and Duan Liushao.

These words were a humiliation to the Young Marshal, as well as to all the soldiers of the Southern Ning Army!

The anger in Feng Ning Yan's heart was instantly ignited as she coldly cursed Duan LiuShao:

"Duan Liushao!" You are shameless and despicable! I'll give you a fair fight, but you treat it as child's play! The dignified Crown Prince of the Southern Wilderness actually dared to take liberties with the enemy when he was facing the bodies of countless Southern Army soldiers on the battlefield. How could he feel at ease? Aren't you afraid that your dead clan leader will turn into a thunderbolt and strike you down!? "

Duan Liushao was scolded until his jaw dropped. He didn't know how to explain.

Damn it all!

Although he was fond of her, he had never thought of using the Southern Yong Pass to force her to marry him.

War and emotions were two different things, and of course he wouldn't be confused. The important thing was that he also wanted her to marry him willingly in the future, rather than taking advantage of others.

Shi Mu's face turned red as he glared at Sang Huaiyu, gritting his teeth in anger.

However, regardless of whether or not he explained it, everyone would think that the Military Advisor Sang Huaiyu's words represented the Crown Prince's intentions. This misunderstanding would be difficult to resolve.

Feng Ning Yan's scolding made Duan Liushao's heart bleed nonstop. He really wanted to find a hole to hide in.

Sang Huaiyu looked at the usually calm Feng Ning Yan. At this moment, she was so angry that her face was flushed red. She knew that there would be times where she wouldn't be able to remain calm.

He turned around and gave Jiang Chongming a meaningful glance. Jiang Chongming immediately raised the sword and gun in his hand as he shouted, "Marry, marry, marry!"

A loud shout caused the soldiers on the city wall behind him to shout in unison, "Marry! Marry! "Marry!"

These disgusting words were shouted out by a group of people. Feng Ning Yan tightly held onto the reins, making the war horse feel her anger.

The warhorse kicked uneasily and hooted loudly, as if it wanted to charge forward and let its master have a good kill!

Li Yao could no longer hold himself back. He slapped his horse and stepped forward as he shouted, "Duan Liushao! The Southern Wilderness is just a small country, to be able to live in such a peaceful place is already a blessing from the heavens! Our Young Marshal is a heaven warping genius, a heroine of the female middle class, how can you think so highly of him! "If you want to fight, then fight! If you're scared, then get the hell out of here!

Sang Huaiyu laughed, "You are merely a deputy general, how can your words count? Whether or not you accept this wager, I ask you, Young Marshal Feng, to personally speak of it! If you don't agree, then we won't fight you. Just prepare to use the corpses of the Southern Ning Army soldiers to fill the trenches below the city. "

Sang Huaiyu spoke of this fact in public. It was as if he had given Duan Liushao and the soldiers of the Southern Wilderness a reassurance; the ones who were worried were the Southern Ning Army.

Initially, Feng Ning Yan had been pressing on, gaining the upper hand. However, she did not expect Sang Huaiyu to suddenly raise such shameless conditions.

Their side suddenly became passive, and the situation suddenly changed.

Li Yao anxiously looked at Feng Ningyan. Seeing her struggling expression, his heart skipped a beat. He quickly shouted, "Young Marshal, you can't agree to this!" "Even if you force your way through, we can still take over the Southern Yong Pass. We brothers definitely won't let you suffer such humiliation!

Feng Ning Yan's grip on her sword tightened and loosened. If she refused, then she would twirl her fingers around her mouth, but she still couldn't say anything.

If she gave up the chance to fight Duan Liushao to the death, how would she avenge Sima Du and the others?

The honor and disgrace of an individual and the lives of the soldiers of the Southern Ning Army were presumably not important at all.

Furthermore, she was the one who proposed the bet. If she were to reject it, then it would appear that she had no confidence in winning and would lower her morale.

But in the end, she was still a woman, and was once Shen Lingjue's Princess Yuanyu. Even now, when He Li was together, it also represented the dignity of the Imperial Family.

She has already hurt him, how can she not care about his reputation and let him become the joke of the Great Yue State?

Nie Yan could see the uncertainty on her face. She seemed to want to refuse him, but also seemed to want to agree to his request. The sight of it caused him to be on tenterhooks.

Duan Liushao also noticed Feng Ning Yan's hesitation. His heart was about to jump out of his chest.

He could not help but ask Sang Huaiyu, "Advisor... Her hesitation means that she might agree to this condition, right? "

Sang Huaiyu smiled slyly and nodded, "Yes, she is already on the back of the tiger."

He only knew that if even Sang Huaiyu said she might agree, then that meant that as long as he could win against her, he would be able to return with a beauty in his arms, and even the Southern Army would surrender to him!

As long as he had Feng Ningyan's assistance, it would be within his reach to flatten the entire State of Yue and establish a new dynasty!

Although he still felt a little ashamed, he comforted himself in a low voice, "The winner will be the king while the loser will be the thief. As long as I can rule the world once and for all, so what if I don't care what means I use!" "Feng Ningyan, I'll definitely beat you!"

This decision was extremely difficult and contradictory. Feng Ning Yan's home was in extreme pain. On her face, beads of perspiration the size of beans were silently dripping down.

"I …" She clenched the Phoenix Cry in her hand. "I'll answer …"

Just when she was about to say "I'll agree", there was a sudden movement at the end of the army. More and more people turned around and noticed that there was smoke rising into the sky from the forest not far away.

It was a troop of cavalrymen. The sounds of their horses' hooves galloping through the forest came from afar and came close. Accompanied by the sounds of their armor, they sounded full of killing intent.

What was going on? They, the Ning Nan army, actually had people lying in ambush in the forest? Was it the enemy?

Both Feng Ningyan and Li Yao had the same thought at the same time. They hurriedly turned their horses around, indicating for their troops to be on guard.

As the dust settled, a group of Black Armored Iron Cavalry quickly arrived at the front of the formation.

The troops were all clad in iron armor, and the armor reflected the cold light of the sun.

All the knights had a cold expression on their faces. The one in the lead wore a helmet with tight protection, revealing only a pair of eyes.

When he got closer, he stopped less than ten steps away from Feng Ningyan. He silently stared at her.
