I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1991 - 1993: The Grand Finale

"Bang!"

With eyes full of bloodshot veins, Cao Cao fiercely slammed the table, then began to cough violently. Very soon, a guard walked in with a bowl of thick medicinal soup.

"Lord, you should take your medicine."

The angry Cao Cao knocked over the medicinal soup with a wave, and angrily scolded the line of generals in front of him: "Can any of you tell me why, just why we still can’t capture the Eastern Capital! We’ve already lost at least a hundred thousand! A hundred thousand people, living people! They are my soldiers, Cao Cao’s soldiers!"

No one dared to answer from below.

At this moment, you, extremely exhausted, sat alone at the top of the Ximen City Tower, biting into the delicious Chicken Leg that Zheng Zhi had just brought.

The sky was already dimming as you gazed into the distant horizon and suddenly noticed a black dot appearing in your vision. The black dot gradually grew larger, and when it turned into a black falcon, it landed on your arm.

You took the letter from the falcon’s talons, and upon opening it, you laughed heartily. Your laughter was so unrestrained that even Cao Cao’s camp, a thousand meters away, could hear it clearly.

That night, only a few people slept well.

Especially Liu Bei, who tossed and turned for several hours, and just as he was about to fall asleep, he heard cries of battle outside the tent.

Alas, another day of bloodshed has begun.

To be honest, ever since Guan Yu was killed by Liu Bei himself, and after he executed the one who had been manipulating him from behind, Liu Bei considered himself cold and ruthless enough; yet every time he saw those lively, vibrant lives disappear before his eyes, a string in his heart would always resonate.

Countless times, Liu Bei questioned himself whether what he was doing was right or wrong.

"Lord, something terrible has happened!"

Sun Qian rushed in hurriedly, followed by Zhu Geliang with a face ashen with gloom.

"What could make you so panicked?" Liu Bei felt a bad premonition in his heart.

"Yi State! Yi State has fallen!"

"What!?" Liu Bei jumped up immediately, not caring about his bare upper body, grabbed Sun Qian by the collar, and roared, "That’s impossible! I specifically left 150,000 troops in Yi State as a defense! Who, just who!?"

Meanwhile, Sun Quan had just woken up as well. These past few days, he too had been sleepless, his mood terribly foul. It could be said, this expedition had consumed all the savings of his father and brothers. Sun Quan knew that if he couldn’t break the Eastern Capital within three days, he would surely have to pack up and retreat back to Eastern Wu.

"Alas."

Sun Quan sighed deeply, stood up, and just as he was about to pull back the curtain, someone bumped into him head-on.

Sun Quan staggered from the impact and was about to get angry when he saw the person who bumped into him crying out in fear, "Lord, Lord, something terrible has happened!"

The person was Huang Gai, an old minister from the time of Sun Jian, loyal to the old Sun family.

"When have you become so frantic?"

"Jianye City has fallen!"

"What!?" Sun Quan nearly slapped him, but he controlled his temper forcefully and quickly asked, "What on earth has happened?"

"A group of bandits landed from the sea by the river, attacked Jianye by night, and Gong Jin, outnumbered, was beheaded!"

"Who is it? Just who!?"

Cao Cao was the last to receive the news. When he heard about the fall of Xuchang and Chang’an City, his reaction was simple: he spat out a mouthful of old blood and collapsed to the ground.

For a while, all three major camps fell into chaos.

For you, today was the most relaxed day in a long time. You and Zou Nan sat atop the city tower, swinging your legs and looking at the blue sky above.

Though Zhao Yu and the other two women were pregnant, they insisted on staying with you to live and die together. However, you didn’t let them join the battle; only Zou Nan stayed by your side.

With a peerless beauty in your arms, and a chicken leg in your mouth—"Ugh! Finally, I’m sick of chicken legs. Now I want some pig’s trotters to replenish me!"

With a wave of your hand, the four city gates opened simultaneously, and the well-rested warhorses that had been poised to strike for over ten days let out long neighs. Then the Iron Riders rushed out, swords in hand, charging straight for the enemy’s main camp!

And at the top of the city tower, you sang out loudly:

"The wolf smoke rises! Gazing north at the land, the dragon rises, the horse wails long, Sword Qi as frosty as ice!

Heart like the Yellow River, endless waters. In twenty years of journeys, who can resist?

Hatred nearly drives me crazy, long knife in direction!

Many comrades’ loyal souls, buried in a foreign land.

No regrets for a hundred deaths, to serve the country!

Enduring sighs, no more words, blood and tears fill my eyes!

Hooves head south, people look north!

People look north, grass turns green and yellow, dust flying high.

I wish, to guard the land, reclaim and expand!

The grand Great Han must make all sides

come to celebrate!!!"

Before long, the wind ceased, the dust settled.

A horse with a blood-red body carried a figure that had always loomed in your memory.

You smiled and stood up, jumping heavily from the roof dozens of meters high.

"Bang!"

Landing on both legs, you slowly walked towards the person. The two of you stood a few meters apart, looking at each other.

"You’ve finally come?"

"You did much better than I thought."

"Of course, who do you think I am." You grinned shamelessly, scratching your nose, and said to the person before you, "Well, shall we fight?" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

And she merely smiled: "Let’s go."

"Where to?"

"Home."

...

Half a year later, you sit on the couch as usual, reading a novel.

Greedy for Money writes novels at quite a fast pace. "Raising Foxes for Trouble" isn’t finished yet, and the new book "The Wife is a Corpse at Home" is already updating.
