Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 299 - 287: Discard the Jade Slip

Dong Zhongjin carelessly tossed the Jade Slip of Qin Qing’s recorded words into the Spirit Ring.

He did not believe what Qin Qing had said because from the moment Qin Qing appeared in the camp, Dong Zhongjin had been quite dismissive of this royal family member who’d come to gain experience.

As Dong Zhongjin approached the army formation, the Great Qian Army was already fully equipped and waiting in strict formation.

At that moment, Dong Zhongjin saw Zhao Danchen.

Zhao Danchen was counting the soldiers, his aura as imposing as a rainbow.

Dong Zhongjin suddenly thought of the Jade Slip that recorded Qin Qing’s suggestions.

"It’s better to let the Commander-in-chief look it over. This will also give Qin Qing an explanation. Furthermore, taking ten thousand steps back, if Qin Qing really has emphasized one or two important points, I, after all, have handed the Jade Slip to the Commander-in-chief. As for whether he looks at it or not, that will be the Commander-in-chief’s problem."

With that thought in mind, Dong Zhongjin walked up to Zhao Danchen.

"Councilor Dong, you’ve arrived! Perfect timing, you can now help me record the routes of attack that all the generals will follow..." Zhao Danchen glanced at Dong Zhongjin and said.

"Yes!" Dong Zhongjin quickly nodded, taking out two Jade Slips, and then added, "General Zhao, one of these Jade Slips contains suggestions from General Qin Qing for you..."

"General Qin? Which General Qin?" Zhao Danchen’s brows furrowed slightly.

"It is... General Qin Qing!" Dong Zhongjin said hesitantly.

"Qin Qing? His suggestions for me?" Zhao Danchen had already taken the Jade Slip but, upon hearing Dong Zhongjin mention Qin Qing, he scoffed and flippantly tossed the Jade Slip to the ground, "I already know all that he wants to say. Right now, our army is in high spirits, and he’s telling us not to attack. Hehe... I, Zhao Danchen, have been leading troops into battle for so many years, do I need some greenhorn to tell me what to do?"

Dong Zhongjin could only force a couple of dry laughs on hearing Zhao Danchen say this.

Other generals nearby also heard Zhao Danchen’s words and openly burst into laughter one after the other.

"That Qin Qing... does he have a problem in his head? Inside the great tent, the Commander-in-chief already berated him, and he still brings up those pedantic suggestions?" a general with a face full of whiskers sneered with ridicule.

"Morale is high now, yet he’s inflating the enemy’s spirit and dampening our prestige. In my view, the Commander-in-chief should take a firm stand and simply execute him. That would also serve as a sacrifice for our total assault!"

"Sowing discord within the army warrants death. Indeed, he should be executed!" another general chimed in.

"Enough. Let’s speak no more of it!" but Zhao Danchen waved his hand dismissively, "That Qin Qing is also surnamed Qin after all, and... he came bearing the Great General’s Commander’s Seal. Do you think we can just execute him on a whim?"

Zhao Danchen’s brows raised, and his eyes widened fiercely.

The generals who had just been clamoring to execute Qin Qing instinctively shrank their necks and then all started laughing again.

Dong Zhongjin also laughed along, but his gaze inadvertently caught a glimpse of the Jade Slip that Zhao Danchen had thrown onto the ground. After thinking it over... Dong Zhongjin still picked up the Jade Slip and put it back into the Spirit Ring.

Zhao Danchen, who was standing nearby and saw Dong Zhongjin’s action, couldn’t help laughing again and shook his head.

Afterward, he waved his hand and scanned all the soldiers in front of him with a stern look, shouting, "All soldiers, heed my command, beat the drums... commence the total assault!"

"Boom boom boom boom boom..."

The sounds of drumbeats rose, starting slowly and then becoming more and more rapid, growing stronger and more resonant.

All the soldiers of the Great Qian camp, upon hearing the drumbeats, had a sharp gleam flash in their eyes.

"Brothers, charge. Win this battle, return to the court triumphantly, and go home to hold our wives!"

"My son, my wife’s still waiting at home. Win the battle, come home, and with the court’s reward money, buy a big plot of land back home, tend to fields, raise the child, and sleep on a warm kang with the wife."

"Kill!"

The break of victory seemed just within sight.

The morale of the Great Qian Army had reached its peak!

Qin Qing was walking swiftly amidst the troops, with soldiers rushing past him in a surge to the front.

Qin Qing was like a maverick, moving against the current and in opposition to everyone else.

"So, the full assault has been launched?"

"Could it be that Zhao Danchen hasn’t seen the Jade Slip?"

Qin Qing frowned, his gaze constantly sweeping over the soldiers passing by, looking for Zhao Danchen’s figure.

Finally—

Qin Qing spotted Zhao Danchen.

"General Zhao!" Qin Qing immediately rushed over and stood in front of Zhao Danchen.

Zhao Danchen’s eyebrows furrowed, revealing an impatient look, "Qin Qing, what are you doing?"

Zhao Danchen rebuked.

"General Zhao, have you not seen the Jade Slip?" Qin Qing asked.

"Jade Slip??" Zhao Danchen said with impatience, flicking Qin Qing’s hand away, "I’ve already seen it."

"You’ve seen it?" Qin Qing found it hard to believe, "You still decide to launch the full assault after seeing it? I should have already mentioned that among the Northern Yuan’s forces, there should be a very formidable Spiritual Pattern Master present, who has combined the Spiritual Array with the Battle Array. Now, if our Great Qian Army rashly launches a full assault, I’m afraid we’ll fall into the enemy’s trap!"

"Enough!"

Zhao Danchen pushed Qin Qing away, "I’ve said what I needed to say. If you’re going to stand in my way now, don’t blame me for cutting you down on the spot!"

Zhao Danchen drew his war blade in one swift motion, his eyes wide with anger, roaring at Qin Qing.

Qin Qing took a deep breath.

"Fine! General Zhao, then I’ll tell you too, all that I had to say, I’ve said. As for your disbelief, there’s nothing I can do!" Qin Qing stepped aside to clear a path for Zhao Danchen.

"You..." Zhao Danchen snorted angrily through his nostrils, clearly dissatisfied with Qin Qing’s actions and his words...

However, Zhao Danchen still held back his temper.

Because Qin Qing came bearing the Commander’s Seal from Prince Zhennan, Zhao Tianyin.

Zhao Danchen could only contain his anger, no matter how irritated he felt!

Had it been anyone else, Zhao Danchen would have already ordered his soldiers to drag them off and behead them!

"As before, if you’re going to join me on the battlefield and charge at the front, don’t wander off. Stick close to me, without straying an inch!"

Qin Qing scoffed coldly, "Rest easy, General Zhao. I won’t join you on the frontline this time, lest I slow you down and become a burden by your side!"

After speaking, Qin Qing directly returned to the camp.

The troops charged forward, but the camp remained in place, not dismantled.

Qin Qing simply entered his tent and began closed-door cultivation.

The continuous battles on the battlefield over the past several days had further solidified Qin Qing’s cultivation, and during the fights, he had gained some insights.

Killing enemies on the battlefield had a very different feel from fighting in the arena.

Technique seemed more important on the arena, whereas the battlefield demanded efficiency, the efficiency of killing!

So, over the past few days, Qin Qing had contemplated numerous techniques for killing, and now in closed-door cultivation, he could integrate them into the martial techniques he had practiced...

Inside the camp, Qin Qing had entered a state of "self-forgetfulness" in his cultivation.

Outside the tent, the sound of battle thundered—the Great Qian Army had already launched the final total assault towards the Northern Yuan Kingdom’s army at Mohe Pass!
