Chapter 149 My 26 Male Servant 24
A Chu soldier saw their general lying on the ground with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, and shouted in despair: "The general is dead?! The general is dead!"
Yao Shu was about to kill the sad Chu soldier, but when she saw that the Chu soldier's morale was wavering, she immediately changed her target and killed another one.
When the other Chu soldiers heard this, they immediately panicked. What could they do if their general was dead?
The Chu soldiers were in a state of confusion, and several of them were chopped and killed due to distraction.
During the long fight, Yao Shu saw Dai Honglun holding the Qingtian Halberd and sweeping away several Chu soldiers who had just hunted down their compatriots. Seeing this, the Chu soldiers dodged and were stabbed to death by the careful Qi soldiers while dodging.
The scene was littered with dead bodies, blood dyed the soil red, and a fishy smell filled the entire bamboo forest, forming a sharp contrast with the cool and clear bamboo forest.
Wu Qingjiao stabbed the last enemy's abdomen with his sword, then pulled out the sword, which was stained with blood. He swung the sword to wipe off the blood and put it back into the scabbard.
Wu Qingjiao was covered in blood. He turned around to look for Yao Shu. He was relieved to see that Yao Shu was safe and sound. Yao Shu was sniffing the blood on his body, and soon she showed a look of disgust.
Wu Qingjiao laughed out loud, Yao Shu looked over and asked in confusion: "What are you laughing at, what's wrong with me?"
"Nothing?" Wu Qingjiao shook his head and said, "I just thought of something funny."
"My dear Wu, you are so optimistic. You can laugh even in such a dangerous situation." Yao Shu was a little surprised, and then praised Wu Qingjiao.
Dai Honglun rode up to Yao Shu, dismounted, clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, the enemies have been completely eliminated."
"Very good, let's celebrate tonight and give them promotions and titles!" Yao Shu raised her sword and shouted happily to the surviving sisters.
"Long live His Majesty! Long live His Majesty! Long live His Majesty!"
After hearing Yao Shu's words, the soldiers' tired bodies immediately became full of strength. They raised their bloody weapons and shouted in celebration.
At night, Yao Shu sat by the campfire and drank and chatted with Wu Qingjiao and others. Wu Qingjiao happily drank two pots of wine, and his face turned red and his eyes were blurry. Yao Shu and Dai Honglun laughed at Wu Qingjiao for his poor alcohol tolerance.
Yao Shu held the wine pot in her right hand, and reached out with her left hand to pinch Wu Qingjiao's face, scolding him with a smile: "Don't force yourself if you can't drink. Look at your face, it's as red as if you were wearing rouge."
Dai Honglun slapped his thigh and laughed: "You are just like your mother, you can't drink at all, but your mother is more concerned about her reputation than you, she is afraid of making a fool of herself so she simply doesn't drink."
Wu Qingjiao blushed as he saw Yao Shu and Dai Honglun become two or three. He stretched out his finger and asked in confusion, "Why, hiccup... there are two... three His Majesty and General Dai... hiccup... no, there is only one His Majesty and General Dai..."
Wu Qingjiao realized that something was wrong and shook his head violently to deny it: "No, no...it must be an illusion."
Yao Shu and Dai Honglun became even more excited after hearing this, and covered their mouths with their hands while laughing secretly. However, the scene was so funny that Yao Shu couldn't help laughing out loud.
When Wu Qingjiao heard Yao Shu's laughter, his ears turned redder like ripe nectarines.
On the other side, there were several soldiers in a circle. There were two sisters in the circle who were jumping and fighting cocks. When one of them fell down, the people around laughed. The ears of the person who fell down turned red, but he was not angry and laughed with everyone. The winner took away a few disposable cotton menstrual belts. Some sisters who were watching the bet were heartbroken when they saw that they lost. The winner of the bet held the trophy and teased the loser with a smile.
"I won~"
"If I win, I win. I will definitely win next time!"
"I will definitely win next time~"
"..."
Liang Shunju didn't like drinking, but seeing everyone was so interested, she had a few drinks too, and watched happily as Yao Shu and Dai Honglun bullied the drunk Wu Qingjiao.
Have a good rest tomorrow and then we will continue our journey.
When they arrived at Misty Rain City, the crossing was closed and the city gates were shut, but there was no one else standing there except for two people.
Dai Honglun looked at the city lord and the general guarding the city warily, and whispered to Yao Shu beside him: "Your Majesty, what do they want to do?"
Yao Shu thought for half a second and replied, "I guess he wants to join us."
The city lord on the city wall cowered behind the general defending the city and asked worriedly, "What do you think if Yao Shu doesn't treat the prisoners well?"
The general guarding the city was unsure, and tilted his head uncertainly, "It's better to go to jail than to be hacked to death."
"But the Emperor of Qi didn't even let go of the corpse and used it as a tool. Do you think our fate will be better than theirs?"
"......I don't know either."
She was the third generation of an official who lived a life of idleness and waiting for death. She had obtained her official position only by relying on her mother's title and connections, but was eventually pushed out to be the vanguard by the cowardly emperor.
The city lord hurriedly urged the general defending the city: "Hurry up and surrender to them, so that we won't die."
The general defending the city complained in his heart, if they were going to surrender, why didn't they surrender together? Wasn't it just to leave a way out for themselves by pushing only her to surrender?
The general defending the city was not prepared for this guy who played both sides, so he found an excuse to refute: "My mother and father are still in Lin'an. If I surrender to Your Majesty, the crime will naturally be put on my family. Your family is here, so it stands to reason that you should come. This way, I can find a reason to protect my family."
The city lord was speechless, he really had no reason to refuse, because it was she who proposed the surrender, and for the safety of his family, he had no reason to let her bear the pain of losing a loved one.
The city lord hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and walked up to the general guarding the city, and said loudly: "Emperor of Qi, I want to talk to you about something."
Yao Shu had guessed correctly. The Emperor of Chu was incompetent, so naturally these cowardly, sneaky and cunning people would be promoted to management level.
Yao Shu did not directly point out the other party's thoughts, and replied playfully: "Oh? Then you tell me, I am listening."
"That's it... I beg you not to harm me when we surrender, and to allow me to continue to be the city lord. Then I will open the city gates to welcome you, Your Majesty."
The city lord's voice became lower and lower. In the end, Yao Shu could hardly hear what he was saying. She felt so guilty that her ears turned red.
Yao Shu did not laugh at him, but agreed: "Okay, as long as you surrender voluntarily and open the city gate to welcome us, I will guarantee that you will be the lord of Yanyu City for life."
The city lord was still worried when she heard this, because she felt that Yao Shu was an evil-minded and fickle emperor.
The city lord took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Surrender, open the city gate!"
The city gate slowly opened and the soldiers were released across the river. There were no soldiers standing anywhere that could be seen.
"Enter the city." Yao Shu ordered.
"Yes."
Yao Shu led her army into Yanyu City in a mighty manner. Fortunately, the city lord was trustworthy and did not set an ambush for them.
