"General Li," Gu Lan emphasized while holding the Longquan Sword, "Look, it is you who are defying the Prince's orders."
She said this to inform others that Rong Shuo intended for her to command the military affairs of Yinzhou, she wasn't provoking actively, but rather Li Yuanju was dissatisfied, which led her to engage him in combat.
"Young Master, watch the blade!"
Li Yuanju was enraged by her and swung his saber to strike.
Gu Lan flipped to dodge, blocked with her sword horizontally, the blade and sword collided, sparking fiercely.
She exerted force with a backhand, and the Longquan Sword traced a golden light, pushing Li Yuanju back several steps.
"One sword."
Gu Lan's voice was calm, her eyes serene and indifferent, as if there was nothing before her.
"What did you say?" Li Yuanju struggled to calm the tumultuous inner breath in his chest, roaring.
