Can't a girl be a traitor like Cao Cao?

"I?"

"Yes, come here."

Chi Junlin suppressed a laugh and walked to Ye Qiancao's side without saying a word.

Then Ye Qiancao casually tossed Lou Xiangfei's long dress into Chi Junlin's hands, making her stand still.

Then came the line, "Wait patiently and serve this commander well."

Upon hearing this, Chi Junlin nodded with a smile in his eyes and said, "Yes, Commander-in-Chief."

Upon seeing this scene, Tong Yan, who was sitting in his seat, couldn't help but reveal an extremely interesting expression.

Chapter 118 Now that I have seen you, how can I not bow down?

The scene of Ye Qiancao having Chi Junlin stand beside her to serve her did not seem strange to anyone.

After all, at this time, Chi Junlin was just an inner disciple of the Sword Harmony Sect, named Lin Jun, in everyone's eyes.

Ye Qiancao is indeed the powerful general "Chi Junlin," and being a bit arrogant and rude is in line with his character.

Moreover, at this moment, everyone's attention was not on Chi Junlin.

Because Lou Xiangfei, who was standing to the side, was only wearing a thin, light garment, her alluring figure was extremely eye-catching.

The guests were all enjoying the sights, so they had no time to pay attention to the Crimson Emperor's Arrival.

Lou Xiangfei, however, was furious. Noticing the gazes of the crowd, she glared fiercely at the guests.

The disciples and sect leaders quickly lowered their heads and pretended to be stupid, avoiding Lou Xiangfei's gaze.

Then Lou Xiangfei looked at Ye Qiancao, sneered, and squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth.

"Has the general had enough? Is it so amusing that you have insulted the Lou family?"

Ye Qiancao did not reply, but simply sat calmly in her seat and picked up a cup of tea with a nonchalant expression.

They seemed completely unafraid of Lou Xiangfei's revenge.

Lou Xiangfei was so angry at her that she wanted to bite her.

Meanwhile, the real Red King beckoned to a maid beside him, handing her the long, tasseled dress stained with wine, and told her to take it.

She then took a fur cloak from another maid and draped it over Lou Xiangfei's shoulders.

Feeling the warmth of the fur, Lou Xiangfei turned to look at Chi Junlin, her eyes filled with gratitude, and nodded to her.

When the Red Emperor arrived, he responded with a smile.

Ye Qiancao saw this but said nothing.

However, at this moment, her eyes darted around, as if she was plotting something bad again.

But at that moment, a report suddenly came from outside the banquet hall.

"The military governor has arrived!"

Upon hearing this sound, everyone present showed surprise.

There is only one Jiedushi in Nandu, who is the Nanguo Jiedushi, who oversees the military power of the entire Nanguo region.

He was a second-rank official.

If the governor is regarded as the highest administrative official in a region, then the military governor is the highest military official in a region.

He was in charge of commanding and training troops.

What surprised everyone was that this military governor was a member of the Jiang clan.

Judging from Chi Junlin's attitude towards Jiang Hao, she was naturally at odds with these members of the royal family.

Not to mention that a few days ago, an order was issued to abolish some of the expenses for the imperial clan's servants.

How could a military governor, being a member of the royal family, possibly take the initiative to visit Chi Junlin?

So this time, it must have been Lou Xiangfei who invited him.

Looking at Lou Xiangfei's expression at this moment, she was indeed all smiles, looking like she was waiting to see a good show.

Because the military governor had just returned from reporting to the capital not long ago.

He must have seen Chi Junlin in the imperial court.

Inviting him to the banquet at this moment would allow them to immediately discern whether Chi Junlin was the real person or an imposter.

As the announcement was made, a majestic young general walked in through the main entrance of the banquet hall.

He was clad in armor, his eyes were icy cold, and he exuded an aura of domineering arrogance.

He looks like a powerful figure in a high position, commanding troops in the field.

So Lou Xiangfei smiled and said to Ye Qiancao, "General, do you still recognize him?"

Ye Qiancao looked at the military governor striding towards him without saying a word.

I wonder what she's thinking right now.

Unexpectedly, Chi Junlin stepped forward slightly and whispered in her ear, "He is Jiang Mao, the military governor of the Southern Kingdom."

Ye Qiancao glanced at Chi Junlin, seemingly a little surprised.

But he still coughed lightly and said in a deep voice, "How could I not know?"

Chi Junlin smiled.

Lou Xiangfei glanced at Chi Junlin with some confusion, but because her voice had been too soft, she didn't know what Chi Junlin had said to Ye Qiancao.

Before he could think any further, Jiang Mao, the military governor of the Southern Kingdom, had already reached Ye Qiancao.

At this moment, the young general, dressed in armor and exuding an imposing presence, stared intently at Ye Qiancao.

He looked down at them with a cold, hard expression.

He didn't even glance at anyone else.

In the entire banquet hall, he could only see the person in front of him.

Almost everyone was intimidated by the extraordinary aura emanating from the military governor.

It seems that at this moment, if Ye Qiancao says the wrong word or phrase, she is in danger of making a mistake.

Jiang Mao was about to draw his sword on the spot and fight Ye Qiancao to the death.

But Ye Qiancao showed no sign of nervousness.

He even shook the teacup in his hand.

Then he chuckled and said, "Jiang Mao, now that you've seen this commander, why don't you bow?"

Ye Qiancao's flippant and rude tone made the guests present tense.

But no one noticed that Chi Junlin was walking with his hands behind his back.

She subtly moved behind Ye Qiancao.

Jiang Mao narrowed his eyes, his gaze cold and sharp.

The atmosphere in the room was oppressive.

But this arrogant and domineering military governor of the South actually knelt down slowly on one knee under the watchful eyes of everyone present.

He gritted his teeth and spat out a few words to Ye Qiancao.

"This humble general greets the Great General."

Upon hearing this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

Lou Xiangfei, however, could not help but show a disappointed expression.

Then Jiang Mao stood up, his face cold, and sat down at the butler's invitation.

A member of the Lou family next to him raised his wine cup, wanting to offer Jiang Mao a toast.

But he coldly replied, "Get lost!"

He was clearly in a terrible mood.

The Lou family members reluctantly put down their wine cups and left the scene dejectedly.

Jiang Mao picked up the wine pot and poured himself a drink, seemingly oblivious to everyone else.

At this moment, Lou Xiangfei seemed to have confirmed Ye Qiancao's identity, and smiled at her again.

Then, raising her wine cup, she said, "General, you are truly awe-inspiring. Let us toast you once more, Madam Lou..."

Unexpectedly, Ye Qiancao ignored Lou Xiangfei and instead put down her teacup.

This left Lou Xiangfei speechless and embarrassed on the spot.

Then, Ye Qiancao stroked his beard and suddenly said, "I've heard that the Lou family is going through a lot of trouble. A few days ago, they held a martial arts tournament, and in the middle of it, they even lost their own governor."

"Madam Lou, is this true?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present felt a sudden tightness in their chests, thinking to themselves, "They're here."

Lou Xiangfei also knew that Ye Qiancao was finally going to get straight to the point.

She put down her wine cup, wiped her red lips with a silk handkerchief, and asked, "Why do you say that, General?"

Ye Qiancao sneered, turned to look at the banquet hall, and continued, "If that's not the case, why doesn't Governor Lou Song come to pay his respects to me? Does he look down on me?"

Upon hearing Ye Qiancao's question, Lou Xiangfei chuckled and replied, "The affairs of the prefecture are busy, and my brother is diligent in his duties. Just the other day, he went to the counties below to observe the people's conditions. He won't be back for a few more days."

If my brother has offended the general in any way, Lady Lou will apologize to him on his behalf.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiancao showed no intention of letting Lou Xiangfei off the hook.

Instead, he suddenly slammed something he was holding onto the table.

He then sneered at Lou Xiangfei, "If things are truly as you say, then why is this item in my hands?"

Chapter 119 Am I, Chi Junlin, not fit to be the leader of the martial arts alliance?

Upon hearing Ye Qiancao speak, everyone's attention turned to the things she had placed on the table.

When Lou Xiangfei saw this object, her pupils contracted.

Because what Ye Qiancao took out at this moment was not something else.

It was the official seal of the governor that Lou Song always carried with him!

It should be noted that Lou Song, as a third-rank official of the imperial court, considered the official seal as a symbol of authority in the court.

Just like the tiger tally in the hands of military generals, it has always been valued by civil officials more than their own lives.

However, at this time, Lou Song's official seal was in Ye Qiancao's hands.

Regardless of how she obtained it, it is clear that Governor Lou Song is in her hands.

This is almost equivalent to breaking ties with the Lou family.

Lou Xiangfei's face was stern as she stared at Ye Qiancao without uttering a word.

The atmosphere in the banquet hall was extremely heavy.

Surprisingly, the military governor Jiang Mao, who was sitting to the side, continued to drink his wine as if nothing concerned him.

Lou Xiangfei no longer spoke kindly to Ye Qiancao, but coldly asked, "General, what do you intend to do?"

But upon hearing Lou Xiangfei's slightly threatening words, Ye Qiancao was not afraid at all.

Instead, he leaned back in his chair somewhat unusually and smiled, "I've heard that the Lou family invited many martial arts heroes to hold this martial arts conference in order to elect a martial arts leader, right?"

Lou Xiangfei didn't know why Ye Qiancao suddenly brought this up.

But he still nodded and said, "So what if it is?"

"I've also heard that, according to Madam, the plan is to first find the governor, who could become the leader of the martial arts alliance?"

Upon hearing Ye Qiancao's words, Lou Xiangfei couldn't help but show a puzzled expression.

"What does the general mean?"

"It's very simple."

Ye Qiancao waved his hand, "This handsome man also wants to join this game."

If I find the governor first, shouldn't I be the leader of the martial arts alliance?
