Chapter 1027: Chapter 639: Mental Retardation_2

She looked at the generals below, some familiar, some unfamiliar, and said slowly:

"Are you now speaking up for Zhan Xian’an, aren’t you?"

"....."

Looking at the gleaming blade, the generals present showed no trace of fear in their eyes, but neither did they speak up.

Li Junwu took a deep breath, raised the blade, and said with a resolutely cold voice:

"Since you believe Zhan Xian’an is a loyal subject and think that I, the Commandery Princess, was deceived by slander into killing him, then I, the Commandery Princess, am willing to die in his stead....."

The moment the words fell, Li Junwu flipped the blade in her hand, and the blade’s light danced in the air in a beautiful arc, without any hesitation, aiming to cut across her slender neck.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan’s pupils shrank sharply.

Through the Spiritual Vision, he found that this dear friend spared no effort, carrying the residual power of the Military Array, the blade was instantly against her neck.....

The morning sun had already risen in the east, brilliant yet not blinding.

"Slice....."

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Only the sound of a blade cutting into flesh quietly echoed.

A coarse hand clad in armor, gripping Li Junwu’s thick-handled military knife tightly, blood trickling down the blade’s groove and the cut finger bones to the ground with soft taps.

"..."

"..."

Witnessing this, Xu Yuan’s mind blanked for an instant, and only then did his heart begin to beat faster.

The incident was too sudden.

Even Huang Shiwei standing by couldn’t react in time, and Xu Yuan felt that if it weren’t for this veteran with the surname Jin intervening, his dear friend might already have been decapitated.

Tian Ye still wore an expression of watching a spectacle, observing the woman named Li Junwu with interest:

"Your friend really has some guts, daring to wager her life as a stake."

Xu Yuan turned to glare at her:

"Don’t give me that nonsense! You could have stopped her, right?"

"I could have, but why should I?"

Tian Ye replied with a playful smile: "What, are you worried?"

Xu Yuan took a deep breath to calm himself, disregarding the Enchantress, and began to watch the front courtyard with full concentration.

...

...

...

"Drip...."

"Drip...."

The blood flowed, the blade tip held by the old general with the surname Jin trembled slightly due to the strength contest, and he looked at the young woman before him, a complex expression in his aged eyes:

"Commandery Princess.... Why do you go through such hardship? Since you have safely returned to the city, the Marquis will most likely disband the troops and return to the capital when he learns of this. Isn’t it better to decide after he returns?"

Li Junwu looked at the unfamiliar aged face before her and said sternly:

"I, the Commandery Princess, have already said, a Saint is about to attack the city. If you cannot prepare for war with all your strength, how can my father withdraw the troops if Zhenxi Prefecture City falls?! Instead of watching Zhenxi Prefecture City fall and the living suffer, I’d rather die here first."

"....."

A moment of silence ensued.

Finally, the figure standing at the forefront, Lu Bozou, spoke slowly and softly:

"Since the Commandery Princess has decided, and is willing to use her life as a guarantee, we old folks should also cooperate."

Saying this,

He bowed his head, saluting Li Junwu on the steps above, and said softly:

"Commandery Princess, you are the future of Zhenxi Prefecture. May you prioritize safety."

With that,

A group of senior generals also bowed their heads in salute, echoing:

"May the Commandery Princess prioritize safety!"

"May the Commandery Princess prioritize safety!"

"..."

The echoes subsided, and the courtyard returned to silence.

Li Junwu’s grip on the blade also slightly loosened, and as she relaxed, the old general with the surname Jin slowly retreated to the side of Lu Bozou, following with a salute.

Li Junwu pressed her lips slightly, flipped the blade again, and with one hand grabbed her cascading black hair.

Swoosh——

With a horizontal cut of the knife, three thousand strands of black hair instantly broke and fluttered down.

In the sunshine, Li Junwu held the cut hair and said loudly:

"Let the hair substitute the head, a temporary stay of life, if the judgment is wrong, I, the Commandery Princess, am willing to die for Zhan Xian’an! But before then, I hope everyone can genuinely unite as one, just like now!"

...

...

...

"No, you look ugly like this."

"Are you sick?"

"Don’t you think you look ugly with short hair?"

"You’re the ugly one, your whole family is ugly!"

"It’s not good to lie through your teeth, our family is known for possessing the countenance of deities, short hair really doesn’t suit you."

"Xu Changtian, do you want a fight? I still have the Military Array Force in me!"

"Ha, you, I’ll let you use one hand... hey, wait a minute, no, don’t..."

Thunk!

In the quiet Military Hub Hall, sounds of an argument echoed far from the open windows.

Xu Yuan clutched his abdomen, half-kneeling on the ground, unable to resist the excruciating pain as if it penetrated his bones even with full Cultivation.

Looking up at his dear friend standing before him, Xu Yuan gritted his teeth and cursed:

"Damn, you really didn’t hold back at all!"

Having turned into a short-haired woman, Li Junwu let out a cold snort, turned around, and walked directly to the table, sitting down:

"Who’s to blame for your constant babbling! Suit yourself."

Suppressing the pain in his abdomen with Cultivation, Xu Yuan stood up, came to the table, and casually took out a Jade Bottle from the Sumeru Ring, tossing it in front of her:

"Since when do you care so much about how others judge your looks? Seriously, can’t even take a joke."

Li Junwu ignored his chatter, looked at the Jade Bottle in front of her, and frowned, asking:

"What is this?"

Xu Yuan leaned against the table, casually saying:

"Sea Cucumber Warming Meridian Elixir, you forcibly absorbed the power of twenty thousand in the military formation, your meridians should be severely damaged."

An unusual light flashed in Li Junwu’s eyes, she then let out a cold hum, accepted it without refusal, opened the cap, and swallowed the melting Elixir Medicine.
