Whenever any Liao soldier shouted the phrase “A ghost! ” the morale of the Liao soldiers collapsed even faster.

Then, they were quickly killed by the Jin army.

Just like that, after close to 20,000 Liao soldiers entered High Pass Town, they were slowly devoured by the 8000 elite soldiers led by Qin Xiaoyao.

Although a small number of Liao soldiers arrived ar rhe town gate towers in rhe north and south, they were discovered and eliminated by the Jin army.

Two hours later.

Xiao Yuan, who had been waiting for the good news with a beaming face, found that he was no longer able to smile.

At this point, the defense at the town gate rowers at the south and north of High Pass Town still didn’t change. If Xiao Yuan still didn’t notice that something was wrong, he must be really stupid.

“Oh no! We’ve been tricked!” Suddenly, Xiao Yuan clutched his chest and smashed his fist on the desk in front of him.

“Quick! Pass down the order. Don’t send any more troops to the west of the town! Cough… Tell everyone to retreat!”

“Supreme Commander…” A general tried to advise.

T hese generals still didn’t understand why they had to retreat when they were in an advantageous position.

“Carry out my command!” Xiao Yuan bellowed in a deep voice. He forcefully suppressed the sickly taste of blood welling up in his throat.

A hint of hesitation flashed across the faces of the generals.

“Yes, Sir!” After exchanging glances with one another, they quickly answered.

Soon, the sound of the Liao army beating their gongs and calling for a retreat could be heard on rhe battlefield. The Liao army quickly retreated and the battle ended.

T he pressure on the town gate towers in the north and south of High Pass Town vanished immediately, and the generals and soldiers guarding rhe town were relieved.

At that moment, Qin Xiaoyao1 s men were still slaughtering away in the town.

T he Liao soldiers outside the town had retreated, but the majority of the Liao soldiers who had entered the town could not retreat in time.

T hey could only remain in the town and become dead spirits.

After the Liao army retreated, it was only after about an hour that the Liao soldiers inside the town were wiped out.

After knowing that rhe Second Prince was looking for her, Qin Xiaoyao asked her men to coordinate with the rest of the Jin army to tidy up rhe loose ends while she went to the big tent of the middle regiment.

She had just reached the outside of the rent when she heard laughter coming from inside.

T he Liao army retreated in the middle of the night and rhe Jin army achieved a great victory. It seemed that everyone was very happy.

Qin Xiaoyao couldn’t help but smile as well.

She got the guard outside to go in to inform the rest of her arrival.

“Teacher Qin is here! We’ve been waiting for you for so long!” Before long, the Second Prince came out of the tent to personally welcome her. Many generals also followed him.

“Your humble servant hereby pays her respects to Your Highness!” Qin Xiaoyao stepped forward and bowed.

“Please dispense with the formalities! Please dispense quickly!” The Second Prince hurried forward to help her up.

“Teacher, it is all thanks to your timely arrival that the Liao army can be repelled!1’ The Second Prince looked at Qin Xiaoyao, visibly moved by emotions.

Although the results of the battle were not out yet, he had a rough idea of the situation.

When the town gate in rhe west was opened, the total number of Liao soldiers entering the town was definitely no less than 20,000. Of these 20,000 troops, only a few managed to retreat.

In other words, Teacher Qin had helped him slay at least 10,000 enemies tonight.

It could only be said that her nickname of “Great Jin State s God of Massacre” was not for nothing.

T he way she led her troops and the soldiers under her was more vicious than he thought.

“Your Highness, surely your words are an overstatement. We were able to win this battle due to Your Highness’ strategic planning and adequate arrangements,” Qin Xiaoyao replied.

“Haha! Don’t just stand there. Let’s talk inside!” The Second Prince then invited Qin Xiaoyao inside.

“Mm-hmm!” Qin Xiaoyao didn’t stand on ceremony and followed him in.

Thereafter, things quickly became lively inside the rent.

After the Second Prince’s introduction, Qin Xiaoyao quickly became familiar with the generals.

Some of these people knew Qin Xiaoyao long ago, but some faces were new to her.

However, that didn’t stop them from getting along very well with Qin Xiaoyao.

By rhe time the meeting ended, all the generals had already made an appointment with Qin Xiaoyao to go have a drink together.

The Second Prince appeared somewhat disappointed when he saw their arrangements.

He had no choice but to change his plan and invite Qin Xiaoyao our to attend a welcome party he was personally hosting for her alone the next day.

T hus, Qin Xiaoyao was escorted by the generals to the best restaurant in High Pass Town.

During the meal, everyone exchanged their battle experiences, drank, and played morra games. The whole atmosphere was very lively.

After drinking for a while, Qin Xiaoyao felt that the atmosphere was about right, so she finally mentioned Song Que’s matter to everyone.

“Master Song has been captured and enlisted in the army? How did such a thing happen? General Qin, did you find the person who did this?” someone immediately asked.

T his man happened to be acquainted with Qin Xiaoyao and her husband previously, and he even had a drink with Song Que before, so he had a fair bit of familiarity with Song Que.

“That’s right! How dare they capture the family members of General Qin!” one of them chimed in.

“At that time, the news 1 heard was simply that the officials took my husband and the others away but I did not know the final destination where they have been taken to.

“Back then, I was worried about my husband’s safety, so overnight, I packed my things and came out,” Qin Xiaoyao said.

“I was thinking of coming to look for the Second Prince to ask him and the rest of you to help me look for my husband.”

T he crowd exchanged looks with one another.

They had discovered by accident the reason Qin Xiaoyao joined the army and came to High Pass Town.

This was indeed a classic example of the saying “Even heroes succumb to the charms of beauties.”

Except that this beauty had changed gender this time.

Ahem… Well, even though they were being a little unkind, they were still grateful to that guy Master Song.

If that guy had not been captured, General Qin would not have left the town.

Then, she would not have gone on a killing spree, exterminated the Liao invaders, or returned to High Pass Town to support them.

“Don’t worry about this matter, General Qin. We’ll go back and pass down the order for a thorough investigation.”

“If Master Song is at High Pass Town, I will bring him to you immediately,” one of the generals said.

“Right! Investigate our own men first. In addition, I will also send letters to ask other colleagues I know to ask them to help investigate as well! ” another general said.

“Mm-hmm! My uncle is a Lieutenant General of the Imperial Court’s army, and he is in charge of many troops. In addition, he is familiar with many generals who lead troops. I’ll write to him when I get back and ask him to help me look for Master Song!” a third person said.

Qin Xiaoyao’s face lit up.

She quickly raised her cup and gave everyone a toast.

“Thank you so much, everyone!”

“I’ll use this wine to show my gratitude. I’ll drink first to roast all of you!” With that, she tilted back her head and emptied the wine in the cup.

“Cheers!” Everyone responded to her toast.

They then all drained their cups of wine.

Thereafter, the group continued to drink and feast merrily. They had a really enjoyable time.

Meanwhile, in the middle regiment’s big tent in the Liao army’s campsite.

Xiao Yuan propped himself up and listened to the latest battle report.

Cough! Cough! After two consecutive violent coughs, he actually coughed blood out into the handkerchief.

“Supreme Commander…” When the guard at the side saw this, he stepped forward anxiously.

However, Xiao Yuan reached out and stopped him.

Looking at the blood-stained handkerchief in his hand, Xiao Yuan folded it with one hand and gripped it in his palm.

“Where can you find ghosts in this world? It s even more impossible for a ghost army to exist!

“I have received the intelligence reports. The ghost army that you guys mentioned is that character known as ‘Great Jin State’s God of Massacre.’

“She has a few Special Forces Teams under her, and the members of these teams are all killers.

“Each member is skilled in the Slaying Blade technique. They are also equipped with a dagger-like weapon called a tri-dagger and a small crossbow.

“It is said that each of these people has the combat ability to fight one against twenty. Or in fact… even more. Cough…” Xiao Yuan coughed violently again.

This time, the handkerchief that he had used earlier could no longer be used..
