Special Expert of Beauty CEO

Xiao Zhuang spoke vividly, his eyes wide open as he continued, ”I don’t know what kind of person this is who dares to rush into the ten-thousand-strong Dragon Clan army to take the head of their general. It’s truly terrifying!”

”I also don’t understand why this person would kill Ke Ning, but invisibly, it did us a huge favor. Now it’s good; the ten-thousand-strong Dragon Clan army, without a leader, can’t attack us anymore and can only retreat.”

”Hahaha, this crisis of ours ended before it even began. It was unexpectedly resolved by a mysterious person. Boss, who do you think would take such a huge risk to kill Ke Ning at this critical moment?”

As Xiao Zhuang was speaking, he noticed Qin Tian was lost in thought without saying a word, so he quickly asked.

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian smiled faintly, ”How would I know? I don’t even know what happened.”

”Really?”

Xiao Zhuang looked at Qin Tian curiously, ”But I’m so excitedly telling you, and I don’t see any excited reaction from you. It seems like you already knew about this...”

After all, Xiao Zhuang had been with Qin Tian for many years and was very familiar with him, so he was very curious about Qin Tian’s unusual response.

”Third Brother, you’re speaking in riddles.”

”Yeah, Boss, I mean, the mysterious expert who killed Ke Ning wouldn’t be you, right?”

”Uh... what do you think? Do you think I could kill Ke Ning overnight?”

”Hiss... seems like not. According to our spy, the mysterious person only took about ten minutes to kill Ke Ning, mainly by summoning a Divine Dragon, using it to easily kill Ke Ning. I see you can’t summon a Divine Dragon, hahaha...”

Xiao Zhuang initially had suspicions, but on second thought, he realized Qin Tian’s strength wasn’t at that level, so he dismissed the idea.

He thought for a moment and asked Qin Tian, ”Boss, since they’ve retreated, what should we do next?”

”They retreat, then we expand, strike while the iron is hot.”

Qin Tian’s lips curled into a vicious smile, as if he had already planned it: ”Didn’t the five surrounding cities gather more than ten thousand people to join that mysterious force to besiege us? Now that the mysterious force has retreated, these cities also plan to disband and return to their own territories.”

”At this moment, their morale is definitely low, and the soldiers from the far three cities are still on the way. Plus, Long Xuanji cannot send reinforcements, so now is the perfect time for us to strike!”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhuang’s eyes lit up, ”Boss, you mean...”

”Yes, act now. I’ll have the Chiliarch Ye Kun lead five thousand troops to attack the nearest Ye City. We can support from nearby.”

”Let Old Zhao lead ten thousand to attack the more distant Lin City. Once that city falls, the remaining three cities will flee without resistance.”

Qin Tian said it and acted, immediately convening a military meeting to make arrangements.

The ensuing plot unfolded almost exactly as he planned.

Within two days, both Ye City and Lin City were captured.

The remaining three cities only had about three thousand garrison troops. Seeing that Lin City had fallen, as Zhao Lanjin was recruiting and readying troops, they immediately retreated across the East State River.

”Hahaha... Boss, your strategies are divine, and with the mysterious expert’s help, this time we’re finally safe.”

After the victory, Qin Tian invited Xiao Zhuang, Lin Yu, Zhao Lanjin, and Ye Kun for drinks. Xiao Zhuang was in high spirits, incredibly elated.

Qin Tian, however, remained rational, saying, ”I will immediately write a battle report to send to East Capital City. Old Zhao, Ye Kun, I am recommending you two for the position of Commander.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lanjin and Ye Kun immediately stood up and bowed respectfully to Qin Tian, ”Thank you, General!”

This Ye Kun was a talent Qin Tian discovered after taking over Chen Feng’s troops.

When the Dragon Clan army surrounded Chen Feng’s troops, all commanders were killed, and the chiliarchs were panicked, terrified, and scattered.

Only Ye Kun’s unit, with over a thousand men, actively fought against the Dragon Clan, maintaining their formation well. In the end, when Qin Tian took stock of the troops, the other chiliarchs’ soldiers had lost close to half, while Ye Kun’s unit of a thousand had only lost over two hundred.

At that time, Qin Tian brought Ye Kun forth, carefully scrutinized and conversed with him, finding him a talent, his cultivation reaching the Nascent Soul Stage Peak, but due to lack of background and being of common birth, without opportunities for merit, he remained a chiliarch.

Now, with the opportunity Qin Tian gave him, he did not disappoint.

After several rounds of drinks, Qin Tian asked Xiao Zhuang, ”What’s the situation over at Yang City now?”

Xiao Zhuang replied, ”It’s the same as before, both sides are in a stalemate. Zhang Qicheng has been requesting reinforcements from East Capital, but no one has been sent, so he doesn’t dare to act rashly.”

”As for Long Xuanji’s side, I guess the ten thousand troops under Ke Ning have already returned. Long Xuanji must be furious, especially knowing we took advantage of the situation to capture Lin City and other cities.”

Qin Tian listened carefully, and after listening to Xiao Zhuang’s narration, he thought of something, immediately stood up and said, ”Stop drinking, quickly organize the army, we’ll set off early tomorrow morning.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

”Boss, what’s happening?”

”General, depart? Where are we going?”

Several people inquired.

Qin Tian replied sternly, ”We’re going to send Long Xuanji off on her final journey. Let’s go, I suspect Long Xuanji will be retreating in these few days, let’s go give her a send-off.”

”Hiss, General, why do you say that? How do you know Long Xuanji is going to retreat?” Ye Kun asked surprised.

Qin Tian said, ”I’ve heard, the internal power struggle within the Dragon Clan has reached a critical point. At this time, I think Long Tianwu will need Long Xuanji by her side.”

”Plus, at Yang City, Long Xuanji has been stalemated for a long time, and after suffering two defeats on our side, losing troops, I think she doesn’t feel like expanding territory for Long Tianwu anymore and will certainly go back to Panlong Island to hold the fort for Long Tianwu. At this time, with her eager to return, what do you say, shall we have a farewell party for her?”

Qin Tian revealed a wicked smile.

Everyone understood that the farewell party Qin Tian spoke of was actually an ambush.

”Boss, we only have so many people, actively ambushing Long Xuanji’s main force? Isn’t that inviting disaster?” Lin Yu asked, puzzled.

Qin Tian laughed, ”We dare not clash head-on with Long Xuanji’s main force, but we can bite at her tail!”
