The Dowager Empress sat inside the carriage and witnessed the hunt with her own eyes.
Yes, it was a hunt.
She knew just how formidable the Dragon Shadow Guards were. The Dragon Shadow Guards brought by General Nangong were, strictly speaking, even more powerful than those from Zhan Country; however, in the face of Marquis Xuanping's phantom-faced army, these Dragon Shadow Guards could not find the opportunity to exhibit their martial skills. They became prey in the forest, subjected to a complete annihilation by the phantom-faced army!
It was a tactical advantage, as well as an overwhelming presence.
Marquis Xuanping seemed to naturally carry an aura. When he stood somewhere, doing nothing, he perfectly captured the demeanor of being the unrivaled number one!
Of course, bluffing would not do. He needed solid military strength and power.
And indeed, Marquis Xuanping had achieved it all.
