Chapter 466

Xu Shenji initially came with a resolve to die, but after entering the main tent, he clearly felt that something was awry. A thought struck him, and he suddenly envisioned a much worse situation.

"Did you find Cheng Dalei?"

Lu Cheng and Minister Cui nodded simultaneously. Minister Cui, in particular, gazed at Xu Shenji with evident satisfaction and said, "I knew you were special from the moment I first saw you!"

"Was he captured?" Xu Shenji asked, his concern evident.

Lu Cheng's face fell with shame: "It was our negligence. We were unprepared. Both armies clashed but ours suffered heavy casualties. In the end, we were routed."

Xu Shenji felt a sense of relief, then put on a feigned expression of fierce anger: "I told you so, didn't I? But you would not listen to me. Now, Cheng Dalei has likely escaped."
