Chapter 612: Chapter 612: Military Camp 2

At this moment, Dou Zhang had already struggled to his feet.

He approached Mu Lingyun, looked at her, and then suddenly knelt down, saying, “I accept my loss.”

After he finished speaking, he kowtowed to Mu Lingyun, and even shouted “Grandfather!”

It wasn’t until after all of this had transpired the previous night that he stood up, his face looking extremely ugly.

A corner of Mu Lingyun’s mouth curled up: “General Dou Zhang really is a man who keeps his word,” she said.

Dou Zhang’s face grew even uglier upon Mu Lingyun’s remark.

The crowd who had come for the spectacle each had a different expression by this time.

They had not expected Dou Zhang to actually lose, and even more unexpected was that he truly began to call this young lady “Grandfather.”

“Is this the rightful imperial princess they intended to find?”

“Indeed, she is the rightful princess! Wasn’t the princess raised in a Taoist temple? How is she so powerful?”

“In these temples, there are many reclusive experts; it’s not strange for the princess to be so powerful, right?”

…

Among the viewers, whispers began to spread, all kinds of comments were made.

But without exception, they were all starting to feel admiration and reverence for Mu Lingyun.

In fact, this situation was also what Mu Lingyun had hoped to see.

If one wanted to gain the military’s allegiance, naturally one had to establish prestige within the military ranks first.

With this duel, plus Dou Zhang’s address, it was basically impossible for those present to forget her.

Thus, her future efforts to win over the military would seem only natural.

With these thoughts, Mu Lingyun stepped down from the platform, intending to find Ouyang Han.

Mu Yanci promptly followed her as she left.

At this time, Ouyang Han was still standing on the pavilion.

By his side was Qin Xun.

Both men were around the ages of twenty-one or twenty-two, in the prime of their youth.

“Is this the Mu Yun that you were supposed to send as a hostage? She’s so impressive?” Qin Xun, having witnessed the duel, asked in a somewhat shocked tone.

Ouyang Han was also somewhat surprised.

Although he didn’t know how capable Mu Lingyun was, he was very clear about how strong Dou Zhang was.

He had never imagined that Mu Lingyun could defeat Dou Zhang in a single round.

This revelation had given him quite the shock.

“If she has such strength, why does she still insist that you send her as a hostage?” Qin Xun asked, puzzled.

“I don’t know either,” Ouyang Han admitted, confessing his bewilderment about the direct princess’s request for him to escort her to Wangji.

In his memory, they had never met nor had any interaction.

As the two of them were speaking, a soldier came up and said to Ouyang Han, “General, the rightful princess wishes to see you. Would you like to meet her?”

Ouyang Han fell silent, not responding right away.

In truth, Ouyang Han really didn’t want to go to Wangji.

But he had a strange feeling that once he met this princess, he would be persuaded by her to go to Wangji.

Therefore, he didn’t want to meet this princess.

Yet, his mind was somewhat conflicted.

For a moment, he was unsure of what to do.

“Why not meet her?” Qin Xun suggested. “Aren’t you curious about her too? How will you find answers to the doubts in your mind without meeting her?”

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Han remained silent for a good while, before finally saying to the soldier, “Let her come up.”

“Yes, sir!” The soldier swiftly agreed and then turned and left, evidently to summon someone.
