Chapter 1113: A Captive Should Act Like One (4)Chapter 1113: A Captive Should Act Like One (4)
Gong Zhiyu felt rather gloomy when he saw that everyone had left him to pick up the pieces. But when he saw the wolf cubs forlornly watch Ji Fengyan disappear into the distance, he heaved a sigh of resignation. He casually caught one of the war horses that the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon had left outside and trotted towards the Wolf Smoke Regiment.
The men from the Wolf Smoke Regiment had thought that Ji Fengyan would say something to them, but they were utterly disappointed. She had vanished from their sight as if she had nothing to say to them.

When they thought of that, the men from the Wolf Smoke Regiment all looked like defeated roosters. They stood forlornly in the same spot, without even bothering to consider what they should do at the moment.
Only Lu Shaoqing’s expression became very complicated.
As the military advisor of the Wolf Smoke Regiment, he was clear that their general had won this battle. Ji Fengyan had no intention of attacking them, perhaps because she had led the Wolf Smoke Regiment before. However, the defeat of the army from the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon meant that the Wolf Smoke Regiment had entered a hopeless situation.
Just as Lu Shaoqing was fretting over this, Gong Zhiyu suavely appeared before them.
As they saw the handsome young man, who had previously fought shoulder to shoulder with Ji Fengyan, appear before them, everyone in the Wolf Smoke Regiment involuntarily looked up. They stared as Gong Zhiyu walked over.
“Don’t worry, I have no ill intentions. It’s just that my Queen has asked me to pass you a message.” When Gong Zhiyu saw the Wolf Smoke Regiment’s wary expressions, he immediately expressed a strong sense of affinity.
“Queen? Is your Queen really General Ji… Ji Fengyan?” A younger soldier could not help but ask.

“That’s right. Ji Fengyan is the Queen of the Kingdom of Hua Xia.”
The soldier looked rather conflicted and lowered his head silently.
Gong Zhiyu perceived the reaction of the men from the Wolf Smoke Regiment. He could not help but sigh inwardly, but with Ji Fengyan’s parting warning, he had no choice but to pluck up his courage and say, “I’m sorry that you have to face such a complicated situation. May I ask, which of you is Military Advisor Lu, Lu Shaoqing?”
At that moment, Lu Shaoqing stepped forward, looked at Gong Zhiyu and said, “I am he.”
Gong Zhiyu looked over at the young man before him. Although Lu Shaoqing’s looks were not exceptional, his steady air made him stand out. With Gong Zhiyu’s insight, he could easily tell that this man was a rare and wise general.
“I’ve heard the Queen mention you before. I believe Military Advisor Lu understands the current situation. You are unwilling to oppose your former general, and the Queen is also unwilling to harm any of you, but now… your situation is very complicated. No matter whether these captives from the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon return alive, you cannot return to the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon. Otherwise, death may await you.” Gong Zhiyu did not beat around the bush with Lu Shaoqing. He directly came to the crux of the Wolf Smoke Regiment’s dilemma.
Lu Shaoqing’s expression grew slightly graver. He understood Gong Zhiyu’s meaning and he thought for a while before he wryly laughed and said, “What you say may be true, but… we have to go back. Our families are in the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon.”
