Chapter 341: Chapter 341: A Burst of Anger for a Beauty

Then, Liu Baiying held a flag ritual ceremony here.

All the soldiers, each holding a bowl of wine, drank and then smashed the bowls to the ground with a bang, and the sound of the porcelain shattering echoed around.

The Lame Man participated in such an activity for the first time, feeling that the people around him were excessively excited, more so than anything he had seen even on the battlefield.

It seemed that these soldiers had already exhausted all their enthusiasm in the initial flag ritual itself.

Afterward, it all depended on the ruddy men to lead the way because they really had no guts!

Perhaps these men were just here to guzzle the wine?

The Lame Man silently took part in all this, and when it finally ended, Liu Baiying then met with the main commanders to discuss how to contend with the armies of the Ninth Prince.

The Centurion was not qualified to participate, but Meng Yi kindly allowed him and the Centurion of the Supply Division to stay, thus the Lame Man had a chance to find out what was going on.

Through their back and forth discussion, he finally understood the situation.

It turned out that about half a month ago, Biluo experienced a horrific murder case, in which a woman had died. Upon thorough investigation, everyone was shocked to find that this anonymous woman was none other than Bai Junjun, the Bai Yang Clan’s foremost Noble Lady!

Saying Bai Junjun’s name perhaps not knowing who she was, but mention the World’s Number One Talent Girl, and there would be no one who did not recognize her.

Setting aside her talents and fame as the World’s Number One Talent Girl, just her breaking off an arranged marriage with a Noble Family to flee to the less favored Ninth Prince had been concocted into one tragic and resolute love story after another.

All along, everyone had been spreading the word that the Bai Yang Clan had been annihilated after fleeing a disaster, yet unexpectedly, there were still descendants of the Bai Family.

However, this distinguished woman ultimately could not escape death and perished in Biluo City.

Originally, the death of a Noble Lady would at most make people lament for a while.

But as they investigated the cause of her death, they found it was related to the Third Prince, who, drunk, attempted to dishonor the foremost Noble Lady, and she refused to yield even unto death, after which the tragedy occurred.

This incident should have been covered up, yet somehow it spread among the public, and then the Ninth Prince found out.

He and Bai Junjun had been passionately in love, tragically star-crossed lovers; now his former beloved had died gruesomely in Biluo, her reputation not even preserved!

Yuwen Jun, in a fury, raised his army and marched south immediately.

Now, Yuwen Jun’s warships had already reached outside Biluo City, laying siege to it.

Biluo was naturally secured by waterways, so the Third Prince’s lines were mainly set up on the east, south, and west sides; the north side was the weakest.

Now, Yuwen Jun declared it was revenge for love, and Biluo had virtually no power to resist.

Therefore, Yuwen Qing could only mobilize troops quickly to support Biluo.

Lame Man Uncle was dumbfounded, what... what was just said?

The foremost Noble Lady?

Bai Junjun?

For some reason, Lame Man Uncle recalled the Junjun Girl they had encountered these past days.

Although she did not reveal her surname, could it really be such a coincidence?

If the Junjun here was real, then wasn’t the one who died in Biluo falsely so?

Whether Yuwen Qing killed a fake Bai Junjun or not, the Ninth Prince using this news to march south was definitely true.

Clearly, this trap was set by the Ninth Prince. Of course, it could also have been deliberately set by the Eldest Prince or the Second Prince to cause a conflict here and thus weaken the Third Prince’s forces.

Lame Man did not understand Yuwen Qing’s itinerary from half a month ago, after all, he had spent the last six months in Death Valley contending with the Man-eating Eagle, and most of the outside news came from others chatting during work.

However, people also had their limits in chatting; any gossip about romance or unusual events was fine to discuss, but topics concerning The Celestial Family or the court, not one would touch.
