Chapter 1182 - Princess Flying Swallow, Jiang Yuzhen!
Chapter 1182: Princess Flying Swallow, Jiang Yuzhen!
Translator: Lordbluefire
Outside the Yongding Gate of Western Jing, a group of over three hundred soldiers rushed forth in welcome. They were clad in armor that was mainly black-colored, but their arm, shoulder, and rib parts were white. When they rode on their warhorses, they resembled flying swallows flying low in the air.
The person standing in the front was a burly male and he held a flag in his hand. The flag had the word ‘真’ and if one looked closely at its shape, it actually looked like the contour of a flying swallow.
The soldiers rushed toward the diplomatic group from the Great Tang with completely no restraint.
The soldiers of Great Tang didn’t need to wait for Li Xiu to give them an order. Under the general’s shout, they already got into formation to protect the group.
Da! Da! Da!
The sounds of hooves stomping the ground echoed out loud, resembling war drums in the ears of everyone. After that, the sound of a unified clink rang out.
The Flying Swallow Cavalry unsheathed their blades.
“Wow, so cool!”
Qin Yaoguang, who was riding on a warhorse, couldn’t help but stand upon the stirrups. She shaded her eyes with her hand on her forehead and stared into the distance.
“What do they mean by this? Are they trying to establish might so we will cower?”
Helian Beifang licked his lips and held his curved blade tightly. He really wanted to counter-rush these people!
The instant the Flying Swallow Army was about to crash against the royal guards of Great Tang, the soldiers suddenly shifted and rode past them on both sides. They were like a sharp knife cutting neatly across a slab of frozen butter.
There was a female general clad in light armor that stayed 30 meters away.
These Flying Swallow Cavalries rushed past the command group and arced a circle before they returned to the side of the female general. Throughout the entire process, they didn’t make any other sounds.
“Elite!”
Li Xiu praised silently. However, there was a look of unhappiness on her face. “Is this how the Qi Emperor welcomes guests?”
“My royal father is my royal father. I am me!”
The female general’s gaze surveyed Li Xiu before sweeping past her and onto the group. It was as though she was trying to look for someone.
“May I ask if Great Teacher Sun is present? If yes, please come out for a meeting!”
This female general of about 20+ years old didn’t speak loudly, but her lucid and elegant voice clearly rang out in the air outside the city.
“Could she be a braindead fan of our teacher?”
Qin Yaoguang was puzzled. Usually speaking, the other party would first request to meet the main commander or the second commander of the group, right?
“It’s highly possible!”
Xianyu Wei suddenly recalled the female great teacher named Bai Qing. She wanted nothing more than to stick to her teacher.
Sun Mo tugged his reins and leaped down from his horse.
“I’m Sun Mo!”
Sun Mo clasped his fists while surveying this female general.
There was no need to question. She was definitely the great princess of Qi Country, the general of the Flying Swallow Army. She was none other than Jiang Yuzhen, the person rumored to be on the verge of becoming the Military God.
Sun Mo had arrived in this world for quite a while, and the women he came in contact with all seemed to be the virtuous and gentle types. Even daughters of rich and powerful clans like An Xinhui still had the charm and gentle weakness of females deep in their bones.
Bluntly speaking, they could trigger the protective desire in men.
If one wanted to speak about a strong personality, Ying Baiwu definitely would rank number one. If not, Sun Mo wouldn’t have given her the nickname ‘iron-headed girl’. In the future, after she grew up, she most probably would resemble this Jiang Yuzhen.
Although she was a female, she had a masculine aura!
Jiang Yuzheng was very tall and clad in flying swallow light armor, with a large red cloak fluttering behind her. This caused her to display a strong heroic aura.
The five features and contours of her face were sharply defined. Her lips were thin and her nose was straight. She could be considered very beautiful, but her phoenix eyes that contained an intense sharpness had stripped away some sense of beauty from her face.
When riding on her warhorse, although she made no movements, she gave the feeling like she was a treasured blade that could be unsheathed at any moment to kill her enemies.
After hearing Sun Mo’s reply, Jiang Yuzheng looked over and her eyes brightened!
(Mn, as per what the rumors said. This is a man with unmatched looks!)
Jiang Yuzhen’s vision slid down from his face to his chest and landed on the school emblem above it.
“Are you not a 4-stars great teacher?”
Jiang Yuzheng frowned slightly. The emblem on Sun Mo’s chest was a 5-stars one.
“About a month plus ago, my teacher went to take the grandmaster spirit runist examination and obtained the 5-stars great teacher qualification in passing.”
Qin Yaoguang took the initiative to reply, “Greetings to your highness. I’m my teacher’s personal student named Qin Yaoguang!”
“In passing? In that case, why don’t you go and obtain the 6-stars great teacher’s title in passing as well?”
Jiang Yuzhen’s lips twitched. She felt that Qin Yaoguang’s words were too frivolous. Although she wasn’t a great teacher, she had studied in the Westshore Military School. She had seen how hard it was for those great teachers in the school who wanted to obtain the 5-stars title.
Naturally, she didn’t deny that Sun Mo was truly very impressive.
“If it wasn’t for the Five Empires War Discussion, my teacher would have headed to the Prison of Desperation to participate in the 6-stars great teacher examination!”
Qin Yaoguang chortled. “Your highness, don’t gaze at someone through a gap in the door. The hard requirement of registering for the 6-stars exam is that one has to comprehend 18 great teacher halos and have grandmaster-level expertise in two secondary occupations. My teacher has long since achieved all these.”
“Yaoguang, don’t be impolite.”
Sun Mo didn’t like disputes. “Your highness, do you need me for something?”
Li Xiu was someone who liked to act only after making a clear plan. Before she could ascertain Jiang Yuzheng’s purpose for coming here, she didn’t wish to step out.
Han Cangshui naturally hoped that misfortune would befall Sun Mo.
As for the others, other than the crown prince Li Xuan, they had no qualifications to make conversation.
“A woman that’s relatively beautiful!”
Li Xuan silently admired Jiang Yuzhen. This woman was definitely someone on the same level as his younger sister Li Ziqi. However, their demeanors were completely different.
(But I like a fiery girl like this!)
After seeing so many gentle-tempered and obedient girls, Li Xuan wanted to have a taste of wilder ones. Moreover, she was the Eldest Princess of Qi, a person with a very noble status. It was worth it to conquer someone like her.
“Dinner tonight at Zhenjiang Inn!”
Jiang Yuzheng spoke.
(Huh?)
Everyone was dumbfounded.
(You came in with such ferocity, could it be that you weren’t here to make a show of force?)
(Why did you suddenly want to invite Sun Mo to dinner?)
(The crucial point is that you are none other than the extremely famous Princess Yuzhen from Qi Country. Is it really okay for you to be so casual?)
Sun Mo was also slightly stunned by the other party’s unexpected act. His first reaction was that he had just met a person that was hired to lure a customer to a restaurant. There were no solutions to this as in the modern era, he had suffered in the hands of this type of people before when he went on blind dates.
(The more a woman takes the initiative, the more dangerous things are! This beautiful princess is also an opponent in the Five Empires War Discussion. What reason does she have to invite me for a meal? To ask questions?)
Given her identity, the great teachers of the Westshore Military School would undoubtedly answer all her questions for her.
(Cosmetic surgery?)
She was already very pretty. If she live-streamed for a single night, she would be able to get many donations and rewards.
(Could it be that she is suffering from some unspeakable illness and requires my ancient massaging technique to help her?)
“What’s your answer?”
Jiang Yuzheng’s beautiful brows furrowed and she even grumbled in a low voice, “Indecisive, not like a man at all!”
“Sorry, I’m not free!”
Sun Mo rejected.
The gazes of the soldiers from the Flying Swallow Cavalry immediately turned to one filled with killing intent. They stared at Sun Mo and seemed like they wanted nothing more than to immediately behead him.
Jiang Yuzhen wanted to curse, but the moment her red lips parted, they trembled a little before she changed her mind. “Alright then, maybe my attitude wasn’t too good and this caused you to have some misunderstandings. Let me repeat myself. I want to treat you to dinner tonight at the Zhenjiang Inn!”
Now, the whole diplomatic group from the Great Tang was dumbfounded.
“What does this Flying Swallow General want to do? Could it be that she wants to sleep with Great Teacher Sun?”
“Stop joking, she’s the eldest princess of Qi Country that even has a chance to become the king!”
“What do you mean? Do you mean that our Great Teacher Sun cannot match up to her?”
The random followers started to whisper to each other.
“Rumors are not to be believed. If you have something to say, just say it here.”
Sun Mo didn’t want to go for the dinner even more. “Also, I have to make a point clear. The main commander of this diplomatic group is Great Teacher Han, while the Eldest Princess Li is the secondary commander.”
Jiang Yuzhen stared at Han Cangshui.
“Your highness!”
Han Cangshui clasped his hands and his smile was like the spring wind. After all, beautiful women would always be treated favorably.
“Has Emperor Tang eaten too much longevity medicine to the point where his brains are damaged? Or, is he too arrogant and feels that any 8-stars great teacher can lead your group to become the champion?”
Jiang Yuzhen coldly snorted.
Han Cangshui’s expression immediately turned as gloomy as the moon on a frozen night. He froze. He didn’t expect the other party to not give him any face at all.
Ignoring his greeting was one thing, but she even publicly humiliated him.
“Princess Yuzhen, is this how the Qi Country treats its guests?”
‘If a teacher is humiliated, the student will die.’ Li Xuan naturally had to step out to speak for his teacher.
“Li Xuan. If you weren’t the crown prince of Great Tang, you basically wouldn’t be qualified to talk to me!”
Jiang Yuzhen glanced at the crown prince before turning her gaze to Li Ziqi. “You are Li Ziqi, right? Seeing once is better than hearing about you a hundred times. Nice to meet you!”
“Eh!”
Li Ziqi felt somewhat awkward. The other party was very polite toward her but was rude to her elder brother, royal father, and the personal teacher of her elder brother. What should she do in this case?
“Eldest martial sister, don’t be fooled. She wants to stir up a conflict internally in our group!”
Lu Zhiruo spoke like a wise strategist and had a small look of pride on her face as she warned Li Ziqi.
“…”
Li Ziqi didn’t want to reply. This Jiang Yuzhen was someone on the verge of becoming a Military God, how would she use such a crude method?
Also, although this was the first time they met, the little sunny egg felt that Jiang Yuzhen was someone who disdained to use minor tricks. She said all that earlier because she purely looked down on Li Xuan.
“What do you mean?”
Li Xuan was enraged, his face flushing.
“Alright, maybe I’ve been too abrupt. Great Teacher Sun, you can prepare for the war discussion first. If you have free time and it is convenient for you, you can head to the princess residence to look for me. I’ll welcome your arrival any time!”
After Jiang Yuzhen finished speaking, she left on her horse.
Her personal Flying Swallow Cavalry also followed closely behind her.
“What does she mean? Could it be that she has fallen for our teacher?”
Qin Yaoguang’s eyes shone with the light of curiosity.
No one had an answer to this.
(Even if she had fallen for him, I will make sure to disrupt all her plans!)
The little sunny egg vowed in her heart that her teacher belonged to her. No one could snatch him away.

After the diplomatic group entered the city, they headed to the third most luxurious hotel in Western Jing.
It wasn’t that Li Xiu couldn’t afford the best hotel. Rather, the top two were already fully reserved by the Great Xia’s diplomatic group and Great Chu’s diplomatic group.
The officials of Qi Country had actually arranged residences for the various diplomatic groups, but no one went there to stay as they were afraid that their conversations and plans might be leaked.
The princes and princesses had to prepare for the war discussion, and the reserve group wasn’t allowed to head out as well. However, Sun Mo’s students had nothing to do. Other than Li Ziqi, the others went for a tour at the Westshore Military School.
When they arrived, they saw many people gathered outside the school gate.
“The Westshore Military School is so strict. They actually forbade people from touring the place!”
“Well, they established an academy based on military rule. Such a restriction is understandable!”
“Doesn’t that mean that I’ve made a wasted trip here?”
Because of the Five Empires War Discussion, many wealthy merchants and rich people came to Western Jing. And as for the Westshore Military School that was one of the Nine Greats, it naturally became an important scenic spot. In the end, no one could enter.
How disappointing!
“What should we do?”
Helian Beifang was very disappointed. He loved military stuff and wanted to go in to take a look.
“Let me go and speak to them!”
Qin Yaoguang took complete charge and rushed into the gatekeeper’s office.
