I am a Second Female Lead

Chapter 66: 11. Shi Jing (Nuan)

The generals, especially the old ones, were still unable to trust Sheri. When her father arrives, he was

not pleased. They never knew how smart and brilliant war strategist his daughter is. but he also knew

these old generals, value their longstanding traditions and moral beliefs more than anything. They don't

believe in women being involved and having good strategic plans. They only believe that women

should just focus on managing the household and family matters. Nevertheless, his daughter has his

full confidence and support.

Ru Shan suddenly shouts.

"Enough! How dare you defy the order of the crown prince? You better leave your post and go back to

the capital." Ru Shan angrily said.

Everyone becomes still. No one dares to retort.

Sheri was unaffected by their own thoughts and complaints, begins discussing her plans to everyone.

They all find her plans strange, nevertheless, the Crown Prince finds her plan good. It is very efficient

and would cost less money.

Within a month everyone had worked so hard to efficiently implement what she had meticulously

planned. All the villages she had thought would be affected by the war were evacuated and teach them

which small bugs and what types of plants can be eaten in the forest or in the desert.

She also teaches them every survival skill she knows and shows them different types of medicine

between its uses and application.

For the people near the desert, she teaches them how to survive in accordance with their surroundings.

Using the mist, Sheri amply demonstrates to them how to naturally gather water from it. She shows

what are the edible plants in the desert and what type of animal they can eat.

The people were made aware of what types they needed to use for food, medicine and such. The

process was uneasy but with the active support of the Crown Prince, they naturally obliged and trusted

her plan.

Sheri also implemented diverse types of elaborate plans in various locations. She carefully instructs

them in detail.

Since she is now on the fortified Northern border, three small countries were allegedly planning to

viciously attack the Azure land. She constructed a thorough plan asking her subordinates that Lou Xi

has given to her to make a barricade first by using a barbed thorn.

She had seen many thorn plants in the forest that could be of use. She ordered her men to gather them

and make a barricade on it. Next, she sets up a trap. Using a metal trap for animals, she makes certain

to set them at night. Together with Ru Shan, her father, including the Crown Prince, they slowly set it up

every night. After 300 meters, she draws a line filling it up with oil and dry plants. Her dad already

positioned people who had arrows with stone fire.

She doesn't want to let her enemy know what they are doing that's why they discreetly to do it at night.

For all those days, everyone didn't have a good rest but continued to work hard.

Every day, Sheri had been listening to the ground using her keen sense of hearing, noting the distance

between the enemy. She smiles. Her computations show the enemy is already near.

Sheri asks the prince to let all of his soldiers to get enough rest and eat their fill. Within two days their

enemy will soon arrive.

They were skeptical at first hearing her advice but then resigned giving their respect that indeed after

two days they have arrived.

The enemy strategically positions its group outside the barricaded area. They send a letter by shooting

an arrow. A soldier picks it up and promptly passes it through toward the Crown Prince.

Sheri was about to get in when he heard persuasive arguments. Instantly raising her eyebrow, she

proceeds and goes in. When they saw her, enter, everyone stood still and quieted down.

Lou Xi is holding a piece of paper, a letter. Sheri frowns and asks the handwritten letter from him. He

gives a sigh then passes it to her. After reading Sheri didn't speak as she reaches out for another paper

and starts to write a word. She calls someone to deliver it back as a response. She then follows as to

leave. Ru Shan stretches out his arm to grab her and supposed to ask her what she had written but

Lou Xi grabs onto her hand first.

grabs onto her hand first

"Don't. You don't know her. She's the most deceiving person I've ever meet. "Lou Xi seriously said.

Sheri looks back at him. "I know but have faith in me," Sheri said.

Lou Xi frowns but didn't let go of her hand. Ru Shan was clenching his fist while looking at them. Her

father was on the side, and he knows his daughter very well. She will do everything doing to do the

right thing. He fears the outcome, but he knows her daughter's skill is way beyond what he thinks it is.

He trusts in her capability.

"I trust you. Come back safe." Lou Xi gently said pulling her closing their distance then kisses her on

the lips.

" Lou Xi gently said pulling her closing their distance then kisses her on the lips

Sheri was stupefied together with the rest of the surrounding people. She pushed him. A blush starts to

bloom on her face.

"This guy has no shame at all!"She thought.

The time has come. As of what the content of the letter they received says: asking Sheri to have a

battle with Li Na. A one-on-one battle. If Sheri wins, the enemy will surrender but if Li Na wins, their

group will be the one to give up and surrender. Sheri said yes. She will fight regardless of what will

happen. She is taking a chance that the system will exempt her from the rules.

It was the afternoon of the day. The female lead and the second female lead will confront each other.

Both were prepared. Sheri dresses in black khaki and a shirt. Her boots were specially made for

soldiers. She had asked someone before to tailor everything according to her taste and made sure

everything is naturally made of high-quality products. She hangs her sword at her back and gallops her

horse toward the female lead who is waiting. She saw she is wearing her assassin clothes and when

the female lead saw her, she didn't flinch.

"I know you are the same as me. Tsk, we will see if you can defeat me," Li Na voices out with

arrogance.

Sheri didn't answer. She just looks at her and goes down from her horse.

The female lead does the same.

Sheri walks toward the center

Sheri walks toward the center. Followed by the female lead.

The female lead and the second female lead came face to face with each other resolute on their

stance. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

"I don't know what Lou Xi sees in you but I guarantee you, you will never prevail after this." Li Na said.

"Stop with your chitchat," Sheri retorted back.

All the spectators together with the Crown Prince were standing by. Lou Xi is clenching his fist. He feels

it was his fault that Sheri has to fight Li Na.

The female lead started speeding toward Sheri. Sheri also moves speeding towards her. Both of them

crush their swords against each other. Li Na was shocked by how she easily dodges her vicious attack.

"Not bad." Li Na said scornfully when she was 20 meters away from Sheri.

Sheri didn't react nor give any reaction, but she just keeps on aggressively attacking and defending her

self. The battle was fierce. Both of them didn't withhold their strength giving their all in the thought of

cornering the other side in defeat. Sheri didn't bother anymore what the system would say. She will

face the consequence later on.
