Chapter 853 Without him, you are nothing
"Lu Xiao!"
"Lu Xiao, calm down!"
Ye Zi and Lei Ting arrived shortly after, and upon seeing Lu Xiao, they immediately grabbed him on either side, fearing that he might do something to harm Chu Yue Li.
It was as if if they had slowed down even a little, Lu Xiao would have rushed over and fought Chu Yueli to the death.
Although he did have some thoughts about it, he was, after all, a grown man, and he wouldn't actually fight with a woman.
"Let go!" Lu Xiao looked around, his face red with anger. "If you don't let go, don't blame me for being impolite."
Ye Zi and Lei Ting quickly let go; they were no match for Lu Xiao.
In this military camp, besides the prince, Lei Xiao and Lu Xiao are the most powerful.
Strictly speaking, Lu Xiao's martial arts skills are superior to Lei Xiao's.
They're asking for trouble if they fight Lu Xiao.
However, even though they let go, the two still subconsciously stood in front of Chu Yueli's desk, each occupying one side, clearly wary of Lu Xiao.
This action further displeased Lu Xiao.
They are the ones on our side, so why do they treat Chu Yueli like an enemy when he comes?
Moreover, Chu Yueli's act of spying on military secrets was already a heinous crime.
Has nobody said anything about this?
"Your Highness, the Prince's letter... you mustn't..."
"When your prince came to propose marriage, he offered 100,000 Northern Cavalry as a dowry. I am not very familiar with the Northern Cavalry. Since he has given them to me, I need to learn more about them."
Every word Chu Yueli spoke was like a knife, stabbing deeply into Lu Xiao's chest.
The prince... gave them to Chu Yueli?
As betrothal gifts?
impossible! Absolutely impossible!
"The prince is decisive and courageous, and never acts on emotion! He would never hand over the Northern Cavalry to a woman, and he would never ruin the future of the Northern Cavalry..."
“You’re wrong. Bei Mo gave me the Northern Cavalry not to ruin their future.” Chu Yueli looked back at him, her expression calm but firm.
"It's because he believed that with my abilities, the Northern Cavalry would be even better in my hands than when it was in his."
"Nonsense!" Lu Xiao was a military officer, not a scholar, and it was already quite remarkable that he didn't resort to foul language.
God knows how much he wanted to curse right then and there!
"You don't believe me?" Chu Yueli smiled coldly and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't believe me, but since it was your prince who made the decision, you should listen to him."
Does this statement seem to have another meaning?
What does she want to do?
Seeing that everyone's attention was completely focused on her, Chu Yueli said, "Starting tomorrow, the Northern Cavalry will head north and completely recapture Sukulu within five days."
"What did you say?" At this moment, Lu Xiao wasn't the only one who was surprised.
Even Ye Zi and Lei Ting were completely stunned and couldn't come to their senses for a moment.
Lu Yunfei had already heard her mention it when he was in the Chu family army camp, so there was nothing strange about it.
Chu Yueli glanced around at everyone, her gaze finally settling on Lu Xiao: "Lu Xiao, listen to my command! I, the Princess Consort, order you to lead an army of 50,000 and, within five days, raze the northern part of Sukulu!"
"I won't listen to you!" Lu Xiao finally came to his senses.
The look in Chu Yueli's eyes was filled with utter disgust!
"The prince is missing, and his fate is uncertain. You want to mobilize his troops to do something, just to claim credit? Chu Yueli, do you think I'll be fooled by you? In my eyes, without the prince, you are nothing!"
