A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles

Ji Youze heard this and his lips twitched.

"Are you suspecting I’m a spy?"

General Liu hurriedly said, "This general wouldn’t dare, but caution is never a mistake."

"Lives are at stake, I’m telling you, Princess Pearl is crucial to the diplomatic relations between Dongyue and the Great Han. If she dies under the city walls of the Great Han, I’ll have your life!"

Upon hearing this, General Liu couldn’t help but frown and said, "But Dongyue no longer exists, its royal family either dead or fled, and Dongyue’s Chancellor has long since ascended to the throne. Rescuing Princess Pearl now is tantamount to opposing the new ruler of Dongyue. When war breaks out between the two countries, what will you do then?"

General Liu wasn’t without brains; Princess Pearl had been asking for help outside for four days now.

Before this, Dongyue’s pursuit troops hadn’t arrived yet, and she was just routinely asking under the city walls for the Great Han to open the gates and let them in.

However, General Liu was overly cautious and worried about the newly triumphant emperor of Dongyue, thus he was even more unwilling to open the gates to let Princess Pearl into the city.

"If war truly erupts between the two countries, Princess Pearl would be a crucial key; she would definitely be a great help to the Great Han!"

Upon hearing this, General Liu’s head buzzed.

He widened his eyes to look at Ji Youze, "Lord Ji, could you mean..."

Ji Youze held the Emperor’s Imperial Decree in his hand and waved it, "Do you mean to defy the decree?"

General Liu hurriedly knelt, "This humble general wouldn’t dare!"

He had heard clearly when Ji Youze read the decree just now, but he didn’t intend to execute it immediately, thinking that since Princess Pearl had been chased by Dongyue’s new emperor’s men anyway, he could delay it a bit...

"Not good, General Liu, Dongyue’s Chancellor’s pursuers have arrived, led by Dongyue’s Crown Prince. His men are under the city capturing Princess Pearl, intending to take her back to warm the bed!"

A soldier from the east city gate ran in from outside.

Upon hearing this, Ji Youze’s face turned cold, and he asked sharply, "How is Princess Pearl’s situation now?"

The soldier said, "Princess Pearl and her guards are resisting with all their might, but they can’t hold on much longer."

Ji Youze ignored General Liu, went out, and pulled down a few children riding a large tiger, then rode the tiger himself towards the east city gate.

General Liu hurriedly chased after him. Seeing the big tiger lying under his courtyard wall, he was first startled, but he couldn’t afford to worry about that now and quickly had someone bring a horse, heading to the east city gate.

However, the city guard who reported the news said, "General, you should go mount over there! For some reason, the horse just won’t come over here."

General Liu saw the little milk doll who had followed Ji Youze in, who hadn’t spoken a word, come out of the courtyard, stand beside him, and call out "Big Tiger."

The large tiger lying beneath his courtyard wall got up happily, shook its body, bounced a little child off its back, ran to the little milk doll’s side, and rubbed its big head against the little milk doll’s cheek.

General Liu’s pupils contracted sharply as he watched the little milk doll beside him climb onto the tiger’s back, riding it toward the east city gate.

"Gen...General, who is this little milk doll?"

General Liu squinted his eyes for a long while before muttering, "Could it be the little Lucky Star of the General’s Mansion?

I’ve heard she summoned the Divine Bird Phoenix during the Palace Banquet of the Double Ninth Festival last year!

In all the world, the only one who can make a tiger so obedient must be her."

The soldiers immediately said, "The General is indeed knowledgeable. That’s exactly what I thought too. This little milk doll’s age matches perfectly, it seems it’s her.

After all, she’s the National Master’s only disciple. No one else could have such ability!"

General Liu didn’t say any more, mounted his horse, and headed for the east city gate.

Under the east city walls, Princess Pearl and her dozen or so guards were fiercely resisting, and she frequently glanced at the tightly closed city gate, her eyes devoid of hope.

"Princess, what should we do? The city guards of the Great Han simply won’t let us in. Today, we fear we might die here," Enchanting, Princess Pearl’s maid, said worriedly to the Princess.

Princess Pearl tightly gripped the sword in her hand, numb from the killing, yet that damn Wei Jiang was toying with them like a cat with a mouse. He sat atop his high horse, sending only a small number of men at a time to capture her. If he saw she was winning, he’d just send a few more, and seeing his men killed, he felt no pain.
