C362 Decision

"If you lose, I don't think that you and the princess will continue to be together." Qiao Hongyu indifferently replied. His voice paused for a moment, before he continued, "Of course, I can tell that the princess really likes you. As long as it's something she likes, I won't oppose it too much."

Han Chen could not help but be taken aback, he did not expect the other party to reply in such a manner. Secretly nodding his head, Qiao Hongyu did have the demeanor and heart of a ruler.

Han Chen thought for a while, then replied, "I don't have the confidence to fight this battle."

"But you won against Xi Shaocheng."

"That was just luck, Xi Shaocheng was headstrong and did not put me in his heart. If he took it seriously from the beginning. "Then it would be difficult for the soldiers of the Eastern Lake Army under my command to block his elite troops."

Hearing Han Chen's answer, Qiao Hongyu was slightly surprised, and couldn't help but exclaim in his eyes. It was neither arrogant nor impatient. Just by this point, Han Chen was stronger than Xi Shaocheng. He thought that he should re-examine this young man in front of him.

"Go back first!" Give me your answer in three days, if you agree, I will get General Zhao Bo to support you. "

"Yes." Han Chen nodded and cupped his fists: "I will take my leave first."

Qiao Hongyu slightly nodded, and did not say anymore words.

After leaving the imperial study, Han Chen's mood had more or less changed, and his body couldn't help but feel the pressure. He had almost no confidence at all in facing Grand Seal Empire's death row criminal army. After all, this was a true battle on the battlefield, and it was not something that could be compared with today's practice battles.

Han Chen not only had to take responsibility for himself, but also for others. Since you do not have the confidence to bear the burden, then don't easily commit yourself.

After a while, Han Chen returned to his residence. Just as he entered the courtyard, a beautiful figure within the pavilion attracted his gaze. Wearing a pure white night dress, Qiao Feiyan was extremely alluring. Under the hazy moonlight, she seemed like a fairy that had fallen into the mortal world.

"You're back." Qiao Feiyan walked over with a light smile, a hint of gentleness appearing in her watery eyes.

Han Chen smiled and walked over, "You haven't gone back yet?"

"I can't be at ease if I didn't see you back."

"What's there to worry about? Your father won't eat me. "

"Oh!" Qiao Feiyan replied softly, as her gentle and beautiful eyes looked straight at the other party. Their gazes met, and it seemed as if there was a deep sense of affection between them.

Looking at the beautiful face in front of him, Han Chen's heart moved. She gently pulled Qiao Feiyan's soft jade hands and hugged them. Qiao Feiyan's cheeks flushed red, she looked away and became a little shy.

At such a close distance, Han Chen could smell the faint scent of his opponent's body. With his hands, he lifted Qiao Feiyan's delicate little face, pursed his lips, and then slowly leaned his head over.

The distance between the two got closer and closer. Qiao Feiyan's heart was beating like a little deer and she gently closed her beautiful eyes.

Finally, Han Chen's mouth was stuck on Qiao Feiyan's cherry lips, soft as cotton, smooth and fragrant. Qiao Feiyan's body trembled as though she had been struck by lightning. Her entire body went numb and she could not muster up any strength.

Seeing that Qiao Feiyan did not struggle or resist, Han Chen's courage obviously grew a bit as his arms tightly wrapped around the opponent's slender waist. He began to kiss his lightly with all the strength he could muster.

Han Chen's movements were more stiff, and Qiao Feiyan was so scared that she did not dare to move even an inch. Not long later, Han Chen seemed to have found the trick to it, he slowly extended his tongue out and gently pried open Qiao Feiyan's teeth, finding that soft lilac tongue, and intertwined with it.

Qiao Feiyan's line of defense was immediately broken through, and started to cater to Han Chen. Under the bright moonlight, the two of them fell into a kiss that seemed to forget themselves.

On a bench in the pavilion, Qiao Feiyan nestled in Han Chen's embrace, quietly like a kitten.

After a deep kiss, the two did not move any further.

Qiao Feiyan said softly, "Han Chen, why has my royal father sought you out?"

Han Chen caressed his beautiful long hair and replied with a smile, "He said he's going to betroth you to me!"

"Hmph, what nonsense. I know my father's character, and he would not do that! "Hurry up and tell me the truth."

"Alright! He wants me to replace Xi Shaocheng and lead my army to participate in the Three Kingdoms Communication Station. "

"What?" Qiao Feiyan's heart jumped, she immediately sat up and asked anxiously: "Then you agreed?"

"I've already refused before, but now that I've changed my mind, I should agree to his request."

Qiao Feiyan became even more nervous. She frowned slightly and firmly shook her head, "No, that is too dangerous. I won't allow you to go."

Han Chen held onto the other party's shoulders with both hands, and his brows were filled with a few degrees of seriousness. I don't want your father to look down on me. I don't want the entire Yue Lan Empire to look down on me either. I will let them know that I am worthy of you. "

The Golden Steel Horse, when the King's War Horse returns, I will allow your alluring beauty to touch the world.

Three days later, at the entrance of the palace.

Five thousand silver-armored soldiers lined up in a neat row, their silver spears shining with a dazzling light as they faced the sun.

The Emperor Qiao Hongyu had brought a whole dynasty of civil and military personnel to personally deliver it. It was a special honor, but it was also a type of responsibility.

This was the first time Han Chen wore a battle robe, the awe-inspiring battle armor made his resolute face look extremely tyrannical.

Qiao Hongyu nodded his head in satisfaction: "Han Chen, Zhao Bo, I will be waiting for your triumphant return."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Han Chen and Zhao Bo answered seriously.

The other civil and military officials also gave their wishes. However, the old general, Xi Long, had a calm expression on his face. He couldn't release any of the anger and resentment he felt in his heart. Originally, the one who would fight at this time was his son, but right now, Xi Shaocheng could only stay at home and recuperate from his injuries.

Qiao Feiyan, who was standing beside Qiao Hongyu, looked at him with reluctance, "You have to be careful, don't hurt yourself."

"Don't worry!" Han Chen gave his a comforting look, then swept his gaze across Little Black and Yan Wu, and said. "The two of you can stay here for the time being!"

"Alright." Little Black, on the other hand, agreed without hesitation. It had been having a great time in the palace these past few days and some of the palace maids and guards were confused by its teasing.

However, Yan Wu replied indifferently, "I'll still go with you."

Han Chen could not help but freeze, and then said helplessly: "I say, aunt, I'm going to war."

"I know!" Yan Wu was as indifferent as ever, as if nothing had happened.

"I agree that Yan Wu should accompany you there." Qiao Feiyan had revealed her thought, after such a long time of contact. She already knew that Yan Wu wasn't as simple as she looked on the surface. The words of letting her follow beside Han Chen, was more or less a guarantee of safety.

Xiao Hei suddenly said in a childish voice, "Beautiful Fei Yan, aren't you afraid that she will snatch Han Chen away?"

The crowd couldn't help twitching their eyes when they heard that. What the hell was that thing? Even Qiao Hongyu couldn't help but cast his gaze at Xiao Hei.

Han Chen suddenly had the urge to slap Xiao Hei to the ground. Fortunately, Qiao Feiyan did not mind this at all, and her expression did not change greatly.

"Hehe, if he was robbed, I would have found another one!"

After such a commotion, the originally solemn atmosphere became a lot lighter. Yan Wu coldly glanced at Little Black and did not say anything else.

"Alright, it's getting late, let's prepare to set off!" Qiao Hongyu said.

"Yes."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Han Chen and Zhao Bo mounted two fine horses. A general had brought a mount for Yan Wu. Hao Hao Tang's team rushed to the battlefield.

When Han Chen left, he did not forget to turn around and wave to Qiao Feiyan. It was just an exchange battle, and it wouldn't last long.

The exchange of battle between the three empires, the grand sealing mark, the Shadow Cavalry, and the Moon Tide, these three empires, all needed each other to establish their might.

The scope of the battle was rather small. It was only a mere five thousand soldiers and horses. However, these five thousand men were absolutely the most elite of the armies. Although his words were about battle exchange, the intensity of his cruelty was absolutely true.

In the past two great battles, the Yue Lan Empire lost to the Black Knight Empire, and the Black Knight Empire lost to the Grand Seal Empire. The situation that Yue Lan Empire encountered could only be described as incomparably grim.

Bright Moon City.

A city built specifically for the exchange of battle between the three kingdoms. The city walls were thirty meters high, and the city gates were heavily guarded. There were no ordinary civilians in the Bright Moon City, only the five thousand elite soldiers that entered the city today.

On top of the city gate tower, Han Chen, Yan Wu, Zhao Bo and a few other officers were gathered together to discuss about the military affairs. Of course, Yan Wu was not in the mood to listen to such things, she was just staring at the scenery ahead in a daze.

"Major General Han Chen, I'll explain to you the rules of the Three Kingdoms battle exchange first." A middle-aged general with a big beard said politely. Right now, Han Chen was Qiao Hongyu's chosen general, adding the fact that the other party had defeated Xi Shaocheng in a battle. So much so that he had a certain dignity here.

"Thank you, General Lu Kui." Han Chen nodded.

Lu Kui was obviously surprised by's attitude towards him and answered immediately, "In this battle exchange, the two armies, whoever enters the city first and seizes the enemy's Commander Flag will be considered the victor."

"Where is the Grand Seal Empire's army now?" Han Chen asked.

Lu Kui pointed to the front of the Bright Moon City and said, "They are at the Sun Seal City, which is about 30 miles away."

Brightmoon City and Supreme Ocean City were separated by thirty miles. Between the two areas was an open plain area. There were mountains and rivers as well, but it was relatively sparse. If they were to fight, it would basically be a head-on clash.

Han Chen could not help but frown. If that was the case, it would be difficult for him to find a suitable place to set up the formation.

"When does the war start?"

"Three days from now. The deadline is one month. If no one is able to take down the enemy's city after a month, then the outcome will be decided by the number of soldiers lost. "
