Chapter 146: Chapter 146: I Can Be Your Woman Too

Chu Qianli did indeed make her way to the Heihu Stronghold.

However, when the brothers of the stronghold discovered her, she was all by herself.

Moreover, she was covered in bloodstains, even her face was filthy with dirt and blood.

She looked utterly disheveled, clearly having been injured by their fellows before.

The leader of the stronghold, upon seeing the woman brought in before him, was utterly disappointed.

"You are the Princess Consort of Prince Yexuan?" Had it not been for the fact that there shouldn’t have been any women on the battlefield, he would not have believed it.

He had expected an impressive woman, almost fairy-like, yet here she was, tarnished by the mortal world.

She was as if she had fallen face-first into dust, a sight too pitiful to behold!

Chu Qianli cleared her throat, snorted coldly, "What if I am?"

The leader looked at his subordinate, "Is she the one who led the Xuanwu Army and killed more than twenty thousand of our brothers?"

This woman didn’t seem capable enough to be such a formidable figure!

Was this some kind of joke?

Yet that brother was seething with anger, "That’s right! It was her! I saw it with my own eyes!"

The leader’s gaze once more fell upon Chu Qianli’s face.

Still, no matter how he looked at her, she seemed utterly ordinary.

Her face, dirty beyond recognition, was indistinct and, in a word, unsightly.

"Boss, this enchantress is a great enemy of our army. Why not kill her to boost our brothers’ morale?"

"Indeed, this enchantress has committed numerous atrocities! Boss, kill her!"

"Kill her!"

The leader’s frown deepened, yet he was contemplating another issue.

If she was Prince Yexuan’s Princess Consort, then... would using her as a bargaining chip fool Feng Yexuan into a trap?

Before he could thoroughly think through this issue, Chu Qianli had already preemptively spoken out, "Don’t kill me! You can’t kill me!"

She looked utterly panicked, urgently saying, "I am Prince Yexuan’s Princess Consort. Or... or you could use me for a trade. The Prince will definitely agree to your demands, he loves me so much, he’ll agree to anything!"

The leader glared at her, nearly cursing aloud.

How could such a craven woman have annihilated more than twenty thousand of his brothers!

It was impossible!

There must have been some misunderstanding!

Yet Chu Qianli still pleaded for a chance at survival, "Big leader, I beg you, don’t kill me, please use me to negotiate with the Prince!"

"Please, don’t kill me! Don’t kill me..."

The bandits were taken aback.

They had never dreamed that their formidable adversary would turn out to be such a cowardly person.

A woman.

"Apart from this woman, who else led the troops?" The leader was no longer paying attention to Chu Qianli.

She posed no threat.

His subordinate replied, "The other commander is Leng Ji from Prince Yexuan’s retinue, and there’s one more person, identity unknown, but extremely skilled."

"It was Han Zhan from the Duke Residence who had come to protect me," she said.

Chu Qianli seemed genuinely frightened for her life, as if spilling all the details would somehow lessen her own guilt.

"Big leader, as long as you don’t kill me, I’ll tell you everything, I’ll agree to anything, I... I could even be your woman."

With a loud burst, all the brothers in the stronghold hall erupted in laughter.

This was the storied, invincible Princess Consort Yexuan?

Impossible!

Rumors, it seems, really are not to be trusted.

It was probably Han Zhan who did most of the work, while this woman took the credit.

Furthermore, to think she could aspire to join herself to their leader with such a horrid appearance.

This woman was not only shameless but also delusional.

But Chu Qianli remained undeterred, taking a step forward and said in a delicate voice,

"I am a beauty, truly, big leader, I’m just dirty now! If you let me clean up, I will absolutely astonish you!"
