Gate Of God Chapter 412: You must not marry him!

Chapter 412: You must not marry him!

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Princess Shan Yu bit her lip. She felt that something was amiss, but she did not have any other choice.

The Sagely Mountain City was surrounded.

The order had been given.

She could not hesitate any longer! She had to make a decision now!

"Give the order. The entire army..." Princess Shan Yu stopped herself as she looked at Fang Zhengzhi, whose eyes were closed.

All of the generals widened their eyes as they waited for the order to be given.

"Fang Zhengzhi, you're awake?"

"Bong!"

One of the generals fell on his b.u.t.t when he heard this.

All of the other generals were equally stunned. They never expected that Princess Shan Yu would say something like that.

What was that?

Hang on!

Fang Zhengzhi is awake?!

Wouldn't that mean that he heard everything that was discussed?

Die!

All of the generals immediately thought of killing him. However, that thought was quickly suppressed by Princess Shan Yu's next sentence.

"Fang Zhengzhi, stop acting! I know that you have been eavesdropping. If you express your opinion, I will consider letting you go. What do you say?"

"Let him go?"

"Princess, we cannot let him go?"

"Princess! He is from the Great Xia! If we let him go, the Great Xia will find out that the Sagely Mountain City is surrounded! They could take this opportunity to retake the border fort and get access to reinforcements! This war..."

All of the generals expressed their concerns immediately.

Princess Shan Yu did not speak. She squinted as she scanned the floor, her expression icy.

All of the generals kept quiet when they saw this.

The room was so silent you could hear a pin drop.

Fang Zhengzhi did not move. It was almost as if he had not heard what Princess Shan Yu had said. If not for some light breathing, he was no different from a corpse.

"Looks like he still hasn't woken?"

"Princess, are you mistaken?"

All of the generals were doubtful, but they did not dare to question the princess too much.

"Fang Zhengzhi, open your d.a.m.n eyes now. If you continue to play dead, I will kill you right now!" Princess Shan Yu raged.

Silence.

Pin drop silence.

Fang Zhengzhi did not move.

All of the generals looked at each other doubtfully. Fang Zhengzhi was clearly still in a coma, why did the Princess insist that he was awake?

"Okay then, go to h.e.l.l!" Princess Shan Yu glared as she leapt from her seat and landed in front of Fang Zhengzhi.

Then, she drew a dagger from the holder on her thigh and placed it at Fang Zhengzhi's throat.

"Open your eyes or I will kill you!"

Silence...

Fang Zhengzhi did not move.

"Your highness, our capital is surrounded and the order has been given. Why do you need the advice of an outsider?" One of the generals could not hold himself back any longer.

"Your highness! He is clearly still in a coma. Even if he was awake, could his opinion be better than ours?" Another general chimed in.

"If I gave any of you 500 Silver Horned Wolves, would you be able to take over the Thunderous Lion Settlement and imprison over 50,000 Great Xia soldiers?" Princess Shan Yu looked at the two generals, the dagger in her hand pressed against Fang Zhengzhi's throat as she placed a foot on his chest.

It was not a glamorous stance.

But, none of the generals took notice of that.

They were all floored by Princess Shan Yu's words. She was right. They had heard about Fang Zhengzhi's exploits, but that did not mean...

That they were willing to accept him.

"He is a candidate for the examinations! Furthermore, he used the power of our soldiers and your token, that's why..." One of the generals found a minute point to contest.

"Candidate? Fine, what about Feng Su? That is a place that hasn't been broken for centuries. What idea do you have?" Princess Shan Yu pressed.

Silence.

This time, there was no comeback.

This was a fact. Feng Su had been a natural barrier and fortress for the Southern Region for centuries. Yet, Fang Zhengzhi had found a way through.

This was a feat that none of them could replicate.

"Fang Zhengzhi, the capital of the Southern Region has been surrounded. I do not have time to waste. If you can give me a way out of this, I will... make you a general! What do you say?" Princess Shan Yu grit her teeth and offered.

"General?!"

"Princess... about that... he is so young!"

All of the generals looked on in disbelief. That rank was extremely high! The equivalent in the Great Xia would be a rank two official!

Silence.

Fang Zhengzhi did not move.

"Okay! Fine fine fine... Fang Zhengzhi! Is that not enough for you? What about Deputy Commander-in-Chief! The Deputy Commander-in-Chief for the Southern Region! So long as you remain loyal to us, that position is yours!" Princess Shan Yu was getting agitated, her legs shaking.

All of the generals felt their legs turn to jelly when they heard this.

Deputy Commander-in-Chief.

If this was true, it would shock everyone in the world.

A 16-year-old Deputy Commander-in-Chief.

Fang Zhengzhi would be peerless.

But...

It still didn't work.

There was no other sound in the tent except for Princess Shan Yu's roars and heavy breathing.

"Give the order! The army is to march on the Sagely Mountain City! Then... drag this one out and feed him to the wolves!" Princess Shan Yu could not take it any longer.

"Yes, your highness!" All of the generals replied in unison.

Just at that moment, a lazy voice could be heard from underneath Princess Shan Yu's foot. It cut right through the tense atmosphere.

"Hang on, it's not that I don't want to wake up. But your terms are unattractive, how do you expect me to wake up?"

Silence.

Everyone was stunned.

All their eyes were trained on Fang Zhengzhi.

"Unattractive terms?"

"Did he just say that those terms were unattractive?!"

"Deputy Commander-in-Chief! Unattractive?! Does he want to be the Emperor?!"

All of the generals were furious. Fang Zhengzhi had just insulted the dreams of everyone present.

"Hang on... does he want to..." One of the generals looked to Princess Shan Yu, then blurted out, "No way! That cannot happen! Your highness, you must not marry him!"

"Marry him?" Princess Shan Yu's expression froze as she looked at Fang Zhengzhi in shock.

This fella is so shameless...

Why would I marry him?

That being said... he is extremely fluent in the Law of Dao. If he remains loyal to the Southern Regions, then he will raise our understanding of the Law of Dao. Furthermore, he is skilled in the Art of War and is a 16-year-old Supernatural State cultivator.

If he really is our Deputy Commander-in-Chief, he needs to be loyal to us. If not, he could cause more trouble in the future.

Perhaps...

"Ew, urgh! My wife must be someone who is gentle and doting. She must know how to raise our kids and take care of the house. I don't want this barbaric princess..." Fang Zhengzhi stopped halfway through his sentence.

He felt the dagger pressing down on his throat, its sharp blade forcing him to keep his mouth shut.

All of the generals stared, wide-eyed.

Only one thought ran through their minds. Fang Zhengzhi was going to die an ugly death.

However, even after 15 minutes, Fang Zhengzhi was still alive. However, there was a wound on his throat...

Yet, that wound was healing rapidly.

"Supernatural!"

"This fella is really in the Supernatural State?!"

"A 16-year-old Supernatural State cultivator! It is true!"

All of the generals had heard about this from Teng s.h.i.+sheng, but that was merely a story.

Seeing it for themselves was a completely different experience.

Princess Shan Yu removed her dagger as she glared at Fang Zhengzhi. She bit her lip so hard that a blood began to trickle down the sides.

If she could see through Yun Qingwu's plan and was not being forced into a corner... If not for her nation... she would not let Fang Zhengzhi blink another time.

Hang on...

Why is he blinking so much?

Princess Shan Yu followed Fang Zhengzhi's line of sight. In that instant, she paled, then blushed.
