I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1971 - 1973: Never Let Him Speak Disgustingly Again
Perhaps deep down, You feel that this still cannot express your heartfelt gratitude, so you simply hug Zhao Yun tightly in public, with two grown men embracing.
"Kid, I am truly, sincerely grateful!"
Zhao Yun’s eyes are also a bit red, he tries hard to contain his emotions and mimics your previous tone saying: "Brother-in-law, where the hell have you been these past days?"
"Went traveling overseas for a while."
You don’t say much more, after whispering a few words, you gradually separate.
"Brother-in-law, let’s return to the city, I have some things to report to you."
You shake your head and smile: "I trust you with your work, the reports can wait till next time. Before you came, Tiger Boy already told me, it seems my two women have started fighting at home, as a man I must return earlier, otherwise those two mangy pups from the Cao family will surely take advantage of the situation. If there’s a fire at home, that would be quite troublesome."
"This is one of the things I wanted to tell you about, since you already know, I won’t say more. Just received Tiger Boy’s flying message, I’ve already ordered ships and people ready for the crossing. Knowing your character, you’ll undoubtedly return to Xuzhou immediately, so I’ve prepared to formally transfer command of the Huben Knights to you."
Upon hearing this, you nod solemnly, eyes filled with excitement and gratitude.
You’re excited that Zhao Yun did indeed follow your initial request and organized a ten thousand Iron Riders Huben Knights; as for gratitude, it’s needless to say, many times the camaraderie and romance between men are experiences forever beyond others’ understanding.
Under Zhao Yun’s leadership, you arrive at Youzhou First Military Port, Zhao Yun and Yuan Xi have invested much effort into this military port so much so that upon entering your initial response is shock, extreme shock, because among the numerous docked battleships you see the object of your dreams!
Emperor Yu!
There are actually four Emperor Yu here!
"These four Emperor Yu were personally crafted by Sister Ying, who said that missing your last birthday, these four Emperor Yu would be your birthday gift for this year." Saying this, Zhao Yun is filled with emotion, "Brother-in-law, among the sisters, only my sister and Sister Ying have always believed you were alive, assuming you were just away from home, so everything at home remained as it was."
"Good!"
"Good!!"
"Good!!!"
After saying "good" three times, your eyes are already moist.
Having such a wife, what more could a husband want?
Zhao Yun steps out from the crowd and suddenly yells at the four Emperor Yu battleships docked at the port: "Huben Knights, hear my command!"
"Awaiting orders, General!"
Inside the Emperor Yu battleships, tens of thousands of voices suddenly roar in unison, the sheer sound makes it hard to contain, your fists clenching tightly.
"Your lord has returned, from this day forward, you will follow the lord to conquer the Nine Provinces and make a name for yourselves!"
"We vow! We are willing to be the flying arrows for the lord, to take the enemy leader’s head; willing to be the sharp blade that sweeps away injustice under the heavens! Roar!!!"
For some unknown reason, you cry, oblivious to exactly why, but you blame it for crying.
You just shout angrily: "Raise anchor, set off!"
No excessive pretentiousness, men should say goodbye in a man’s way, knowing it’s time for a genuine fight!
Three days later, Penglai City.
Zhen Luo dons her battle robe, standing atop the city tower, beside her a maid cradles a babbling young boy.
At this moment, Zhen Luo’s face is grim, her beautiful face revealing a sense of determination.
Just in front of Zhen Luo, there is a vast crowd, these people are dressed in battle armor, bearing sharp blades, each possessing a lethal aura. They hail from Yan Province, under Cao Cao’s most elite combat troop, yet not led by Cao Cao now, but by his two most esteemed sons, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi.
Cao Cao took advantage of Zhen Luo and Mi Xiang’s discord, allowing his two sons to lead three hundred thousand troops to attack Penglai City.
Before going into battle, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi swore before their father Cao Cao, the first to breach Penglai City would win the exceptional beauty, Zhen Luo.
Over the past year, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi have repeatedly approached Zhen Luo with their intentions known to all. Yet, Zhen Luo has perennially given them no response, even today as the two brothers menace the city, Zhen Luo remains stony-faced.
At this time, two men emerge from the crowd.
Cao Pi speaks first: "Zhen Luo, today’s outcome is sealed, I advise you to quickly lay down your arms and surrender. Over the years, my feelings towards you should be crystal clear, I, Cao Pi, swear here, if you surrender, I will marry you as my primary wife!"
Cao Cao’s intention to pass his legacy to Cao Pi is well known, Cao Pi’s promise would be no small temptation for any woman.
Zhen Luo stares straight ahead, ignoring him entirely, as if Cao Pi doesn’t exist.
Cao Zhi chuckles coldly seeing this, he wastes no words but instead sings aloud his "Bestow to God Luo" to Zhen Luo.
With Cao Zhi barely singing a few lines, Zhen Luo tells a female general behind her: "Shoot an arrow into that man’s throat, let him never speak disgustingly again!"
Though the scene is very open, Zhen Luo’s voice clearly reaches everyone’s ears, upon hearing Cao Zhi immediately halts, his expression turns white then black, while Penglai City’s soldiers laugh heartily.
A rugged man bellows loudly: "Brothers, guess what this is? It’s the toad wanting to eat swan meat! Doesn’t even check himself, our lord’s fart smells better than him!"
"Why all the nonsense, just kill that bastard!"
If you were, you could certainly name these two people, for they are members of the Special Forces you personally trained.
As he speaks, dozens of arrows shoot towards Cao Pi and Cao Zhi!
Seeing a skyful of arrows densely rain down, Cao Zhi and Cao Pi are astounded and hastily flee on horseback, Cao Zhi rides faster unscathed, whereas Cao Pi’s horse gets an arrow in the rump, spurring the steed to run wildly, causing Cao Pi’s right shoulder to get hit by an arrow, although not serious, it humiliates Cao Pi immensely and irks him greatly.
Before returning to his own troops, Cao Pi hurls an order at the general Xiahou Yuan: "Launch a full assault on the city! Once the city is breached, you may loot it for three days!"
During battles, both psychological and physical pressures on soldiers are immense, even among elite troops this problem is common. Hence, offerings like city sacking serve as the best means to relieve soldier stress.
Facing Cao Pi’s taunts, Zhen Luo on the city tower merely chuckles coldly, the walls of Penglai City not only five meters taller than ordinary city walls and thicker beyond measure. Now Penglai City holds 100,000 guards, elite among elites; logistics are adequately supported, Zhen Luo even confidently faces the two rogue brothers in a year-long attrition war.
This time, the Cao Brothers naturally come prepared, from the onset of the attack, dozens of large catapults began bombarding Penglai City’s walls.
However, Lü Dai’s years of effort didn’t merely serve appearances; Penglai City was his base, which undoubtedly received a lot of careful devotion. Given Penglai City’s walls exceeded ordinary ones by five meters, already far surpassing the catapults’ throwing height, all the stones hurling merely smashed the surface of the walls.
