"You—"
Choking with anger, Shen Qingtang said, "Xu, if you have what it takes, come up with a better plan!"
Xu Lang stood up and shrugged. "My plan is already done. Besides, my plan doesn't require mobilizing over a thousand people. Just me alone is enough."
His words shocked everyone in the room!
Listening to his nonchalant tone, not a single person present, including Yang Zhian and Huang Zhonghu, dared to believe it.
"Hmph!"
Shen Qingtang sneered with disdain and provoked, "I'd like to see what is so brilliant about Special Envoy Xu's plan."
It wasn't that Xu Lang wanted to show off in front of others; he simply didn't want to waste too much time here, and besides, he wanted to take the opportunity to dampen the arrogance of this cold and proud female war god.
"You'll find out soon enough."
With that, Xu Lang looked at Huang Zhonghu. "Get me a car."
Although Huang Zhonghu didn't know what this fellow was up to, he still agreed to cooperate and had his soldiers prepare an off-road vehicle.
Accompanied by a group of military headquarters higher-ups, Xu Lang got into the driver's seat of the off-road vehicle alone.
Yang Zhian stepped forward a few paces. "Mr. Xu, where are you going?"
"To make the people of Shensan Country scram."
Hiss~~~
Everyone present couldn't help drawing a sharp breath. Had they not known that the man before them was personally appointed as a special envoy by the Dragon Lord, they would truly have suspected he was a patient who had escaped from a psychiatric hospital.
For that oilfield, Shensan Country had made a massive mobilization this time, and you expect to just tell them to scram and have them do it?
What an international joke!
"Hehehe~~~"
Shen Qingtang didn't easily laugh, but at this moment, she couldn't help laughing out loud. Clearly, in her eyes, Xu Lang's actions were nothing more than a joke.
"What are you laughing your ass off for?" Xu Lang's words instantly froze the smile on Shen Qingtang's face. Before she could speak, Xu Lang ordered, "Get in the car!"
Shen Qingtang's pretty eyes narrowed as she pointed at her own nose. "You're calling me?"
"No shit!" Xu Lang said impatiently. "Don't you want to know my plan? Get in the car, I'll take you to see it!"
"Fine!"
Shen Qingtang readily agreed and immediately opened the front passenger door and sat in. She wanted to see how this smooth-talking fellow was going to make a fool of himself.
Yang Zhian swallowed hard and asked uncertainly, "Mr. Xu, you can't possibly be planning to charge through the lines single-handedly, can you?"
Vroom—
Without answering, Xu Lang stepped on the accelerator and sped away.
"Quick, keep an eye on the vehicle's whereabouts." Huang Zhonghu was genuinely worried that Xu Lang was acting on a hot-headed impulse and making a reckless decision.
Meanwhile, inside the off-road vehicle, seeing that the route the car was taking led directly to the border between Xia Country and Shensan Country, the female war god finally realized that Xu Lang wasn't joking.
"You... are you out of your mind?"
Shen Qingtang grew somewhat alarmed.
Xu Lang glanced sideways at her. "Weren't you looking so imposing just now? What, scared?"
"I—"
Naturally, Shen Qingtang wouldn't admit she was scared, as that would damage her image as a female war god. So she said tactfully, "If you want to die, please don't drag me down with you!"
Xu Lang didn't reply to her, pulling out a cigarette and puffing away in clouds of smoke.
Seeing that the car was getting closer and closer to the border, Shen Qingtang could no longer maintain her composure. "We are still in a standoff with Shensan Country right now. If we rashly appear on their territory, their soldiers will definitely open fire without hesitation!"
Xu Lang remained completely unmoved.
Shen Qingtang completely lost her temper, shouting at the top of her lungs, "Xu Lang, you lunatic, I'm ordering you to stop the car right now."
Xu Lang smiled dismissively. "I am a special envoy personally appointed by the Dragon Lord. You can give me orders?"
Shen Qingtang almost couldn't help swearing. Suppressing her anger, she advised, "Special Envoy Xu, stop playing around, something bad is really going to happen!"
With a playful tone, Xu Lang teased, "A soldier's duty is to protect the country. Even if you die on the battlefield and come back wrapped in a horsehide, you shouldn't feel fear. You're the female war god, how can you be afraid of death?"
"Who says I'm afraid of dying~"
Shen Qingtang was furious.
Xia Country soldiers weren't afraid of death, but if they died, it had to mean something! To go and throw their lives away like this in enemy territory had zero value at all.
Seeing that Xu Lang refused to stop the car, in her desperation, Shen Qingtang tried to grab the steering wheel. *Swish*—before she could make a move, Xu Lang chose to strike first.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
With a cigarette dangling from his lips, Xu Lang held the steering wheel with one hand while easily handling Shen Qingtang with the other.
After a dozen moves, Shen Qingtang felt increasingly alarmed in her heart. Although she hadn't used any lethal moves, she kept choosing unexpected angles of attack, yet Xu Lang parried them all with ease, and he was doing it with just one hand!
"Not bad, you really live up to being a special envoy appointed by the Dragon Lord."
Shen Qingtang secretly admired him, then warned, "I'm going to get serious now, watch out!" As her words fell, she directly used a standard military combat move to lock onto Xu Lang's arm.
Just as Shen Qingtang was about to threaten Xu Lang to stop, his hand slipped away like a snake, breaking free effortlessly.
"Whoosh!"
Before Shen Qingtang could counterattack, Xu Lang's claw-like hand suddenly lunged and grabbed her breasts.
Pervert!
Shen Qingtang cursed inwardly, instinctively crossing her arms to protect her chest. The next instant, Xu Lang's hand clamped directly onto her two wrists, and *whoosh*, Shen Qingtang's entire body, along with her seatbelt, was twisted around. Her cheek was pressed hard against the car window, and her round, pert buttocks were aimed squarely at Xu Lang.
"Smack!"
In an instant, Shen Qingtang felt as though she had been struck by lightning, her mind going completely blank.
Her butt had been slapped! Someone actually dared to slap her butt...
"Smack, smack, smack—"
Xu Lang slowed the car down, freed a hand to deliver another series of slaps, and then quickly steadied the steering wheel.
"Bastard, I'm going to kill you!" Shen Qingtang was furious with embarrassment, but no matter how hard she struggled, her arms felt as though they were clamped in a vise, completely unable to break free.
Xu Lang sneered dismissively, "Insubordination—spanking you is letting you off easy. If you dare to lay a hand on me again, watch out, I'll strip your pants off!" After the warning, he finally released his grip.
"You... you shameless wretch!"
Shen Qingtang's cheeks quietly flushed red, like a ripe apple. Having tasted defeat at Xu Lang's hands, she didn't dare to act rashly anymore. Perhaps she was genuinely afraid that Xu Lang would keep his word and strip her pants off...
Unbeknownst to them, the off-road vehicle had directly crossed the border line and was heading toward the direction of the oilfield.
"Bastard, if you keep driving forward, we'll definitely be spotted by Shensan Country's scouts! When they send a large force over, we'll be dead for sure!"
Shen Qingtang wasn't truly afraid of dying, she just didn't want to die in such a stifling way.
Buzz, buzz—
In a flash of lightning, a dozen military off-road vehicles appeared ahead, and over a hundred Shensan Country soldiers poured out of them one after another. Clearly, they had set up an ambush in advance along the only route.
*Click, click, click!* The Shensan Country soldiers raised their guns and aimed them directly at Xu Lang's vehicle.
We're done for!
This was the only thought in Shen Qingtang's mind.
Xu Lang unhurriedly stopped the car and said calmly, "Open your eyes wide and watch closely what it means when one man guards the pass and ten thousand cannot get through."
Shen Qingtang noticed that at some point, a mask had appeared on Xu Lang's face.
Half of it crying, half of it smiling, looking like a deity, yet like a demon...
