Masquerade in Bridal Attire and Marry the Prince

51. The Formation Is Crack-able

Translator: Antonia

The man was exactly waiting for such words. He was clear that no matter what Shan Zhongli was his superior. He could put on airs occasionally but shall never be really harsh on Shan Zhongli.

“You’re always so humble and eager to learn. You’ll pull it off if you can think through this.” He articulated some respectful words and for a time created a harmonious atmosphere.

Yunluo waited outside for a long while and then saw Mister walked out. Respectfully, he saw him leaving first and then went into the tent. At the sight of Shan Zhongli’s delighted face, he worried less in an instant, “Lord. The news comes.”

Yueluo took out from his pocket a piece of stripe wrapped in white cloth, opened it quickly and handed to Shan Zhongli, “We can say for sure that Her Highness is a woman.”

Shan Zhongli had never doubted it, so he waved indifferently, “Just pass the result to Mister. I’ve something to do. Don’t let others disturn me.”

Yunluo spotted the thing in the hand of his lord and thought it was a painting or calligraphy. On his order, Yunluo immediately bowed and left.

On the other side, Ada already got the news, his lips curling up, “Your Highness, their doubt is dispersed.” He reported it to Yuxing Tianrui.

Those people were so stupid. Go and ask what kind of followers the Crown Prince had. Around this tent, there were His Highness’s ears all over the place. How dared those people to make troubles under his nose!

Even though Ada didn’t understand why those people suspected Her Highness’s identity, it didn’t prevent him from helping His Highness guard the innocent reputation of Her Highness.

Yuxing Tianrui nodded. Ada was more than capable of handling such a trifle, “There seemed to be some noise?” He was kicked out by Du Chuxuan whose intention was clear. No matter what, Yuxing Tianrui was the real leader of the barracks. Even if he was half-off-duty, he should be aware of everything taking place in the barracks.

Besides, Du Chuxuan was recently obsessed with the formation. Yuxing Tianrui could tell that his princess could no longer bear seeing more sacrifices. Therefore, Du Chuxuan was studying it day and night, making Yuxing Tianrui deeply touched.

“They said they figured a way to crack the formation. However, the specific content is well protected by Shan Zhongli. I didn’t see it.” Ada replied in whisper.

Certainly, Shan Zhongli hid the solution well. Now the barracks were the main focus of the capital whose only wish was the army returning with victory. Yet, the successive failures already encouraged some people to take actions.

Yuxing Tianrui sneered. He had a deep learning into the formation which was so intricate that it was impossible to be cracked down by destroying a part of it.

He didn’t know how Shan Zhongli got this solution, but obviously he was going to suffer a great loss. For a time, Yuxing Tianrui displayed a wicked expression.

Ada, standing next to him, at the sight of it, couldn’t help roasting inwardly. You are already a crown prince. Is it good for you to display everything on the face?

Du Chuxuan made a good stretch. He had been sitting here for an entire day. Just now, something surfaced in his brain and was instantly caught by him in time.

Dongxiang cautiously served a new cup of tea and had no idea what Du Chuxuan was doing. Her Highness had been sleeping for a day holding the formation drawing. Could she really figure out the solution like this?

Du Chuxuan was satisfied to have a cup of tea of just-right temperature within his reach. He had to say that Dongxiang was a clever boy. With proper training, one day he would become a capable right-hand man.

He was about to say something, and the corner of the tent was suddenly lifted up, followed by a parrot flying in. Dongxiang was taken aback. Du Chuxuan held out his arm, and the parrot cleverly landed on his hand.

Knowing that Du Chuxuan needed to be alone now, Dongxiang bowed and walked out. Before leaving, he, out of curiosity, took a glance at the parrot and was amazed to find that the parrot could not only speak but also write!

Dongxiang didn’t have optical illusions. The treasures Du Chuxuan’s cheap shifu had given him were enough to give him a comfortable life even if he did nothing but eating.

Sometimes even Du Chuxuan himself wondered why his shifu was so general to him. Just because he had stolen Du Chuxuan’s one chicken leg that he repaid him with all his treasure unreservedly?

However, no one would hate treasures. The more, the better. He stroked the parrot, “Find the person today?”

The parrot nodded, jumped onto the desk, dipped ink with its claw, leaping and drawing on paper. Soon, a person’s vivid portrait was on the paper.

Du Chuxuan wasn’t surprised at the fact that a parrot could draw, because he already did the first time he saw it. The parrot had received special training and certainly wasn’t an ordinary bird.

Moreover—the portrait looked familiar.

Just as he was going to probe into his memory, horns of attack rang outside. The people around panicked at once.

He truly had to panic. There had been a battle in the morning. Why were they coming on again?

The Turkic soldiers were also hopeless, because their second prince was in a bad mood. He had ordered that since Shenglan Army was at the end of rope, they should take them down as soon as possible.

With this order, everyone was put in a high spirit because of the upcoming rich military credit. They seemed to see that after this battle, the territory of Turk expanded again, and they would be granted with higher titles or ranks when they returned.

Du Chuxuan frowned. What a bad timing! He swiftly collected the scroll, on which there was the solution to break the formation and which would be useless if he couldn’t meet with Yuxing Tianrui immediately. For a time, he was a little upset.

Seeing the tremendous forces of the enemies marching over, Shan Zhongli knew that they were launching the final attack. He had been nervous a moment ago, but now he was assured completely.

“I know everyone is trying his best to fight against the enemy, with the glorious aim to guard our great country! Now, I can proudly announce it that we have a way to crack their formation!”

He said it before the battle, and for a moment, nobody understood what he meant. Until Shan Zhongli raised the scroll up high, everyone began to cheer as if a dream finally came true.
