Di Hu's body fell heavily backward!
Pei Shaochu's guards immediately swarmed forward and hacked the corpse into mincemeat.
Feeling the excruciating pain in his ears, Pei Shaochu collapsed to the ground, screaming in agony.
"My ears! My ears!"
Snap! Snap!
A Hunnic cavalryman, as tall as a black tower, rode out laughing.
Seeing the galloping horse about to crash into him, Pei Shaochu was so frightened that he jumped up from the ground.
"Whoa!"
Just as they were about to collide, the Xiongnu cavalrymen reined in their horses, bringing them to a steady stop an inch from Pei Shaochu.
Pei Shaochu, who was about to get angry, was instantly terrified like a quail when he saw the face of the person on horseback.
Ignoring the sharp pain in his ears, he quickly bowed and greeted them.
"Greetings, General Tie Ge!"
The newcomer was none other than Helian Tiege, the vanguard commander of the Xiongnu's southward invasion.
The arrow that just killed Di Hu was his masterpiece.
Helian Tiege looked at Pei Shaochu with disdain and said.
“Young Master Pei, the battlefield is a dangerous place! It is not suitable for a weak person like you.”
“If I hadn’t intervened, you would be dead. You Han people believe in repaying kindness tenfold.”
"So I saved your life, how do you plan to repay me?"
If that arrow had missed by even a fraction, it would have pierced his own head.
This shows that Tie Ge didn't care about Pei Shaochu's life at all.
Although he was saved, he lost an ear.
For Pei Shaochu, who cared a great deal about his appearance, this was worse than death.
Although Pei Shaochu was furious inside, he could only suppress it.
He was not as talented as his second brother, so he could only serve as a guide in the vanguard.
Therefore, he couldn't muster even the slightest thought of resistance when facing the Xiongnu.
Despite the pain in his ears, Pei Shaochu spoke in a fawning tone.
"Lord Tiege, you can enjoy all the treasures and women of the entire city at your leisure."
"And I can help you find where the rich people in the city are hiding their money and give it to you."
Upon hearing this, Tie Ge sneered and drew his riding whip, striking Pei Shaochu with a sharp crack.
The intense pain caused Pei Shaochu to collapse to the ground instantly.
"You cunning Han Chinese, do you really think I'm stupid? All the treasure in this city belongs to me! Don't try to play tricks on me!"
"I've heard you have a beautiful wife. So tonight, send her to my tent to serve me, and that will be your way of repaying me."
Pei Shaochu turned pale upon hearing this and was about to speak.
The next second, Tie Ge's whip had already landed on his body.
Tie Ge sneered.
"You're nothing but a dog! Don't try to negotiate with me!"
After saying this, Tie Ge once again spurred his horse away to join the feast of slaughter.
Pei Shaochu stood frozen in place, unable to suppress the anger in his heart.
The surrounding guards stepped forward and asked.
"Young master, your injury..."
Pei Shaochu roared angrily.
"Get out of my way!"
After saying that, Pei Shaochu picked up the knife and slashed it fiercely at Di Hu's corpse.
"This is all my credit! My doing!"
Pei Shaochu still seemed to be angry enough, and carrying a knife, he stormed into the city lord's mansion behind Di Hu.
The next moment, a scream came from inside the city lord's mansion.
Covered in blood, Pei Shaochu went berserk, hacking and slashing at the women and children inside the city lord's mansion, venting his inner rage.
Soldiers pass by like combs, bandits pass by like fine combs.
Pei Shaochu went completely insane. As his dignity was trampled by Tie Ge, his last shred of humanity was utterly extinguished.
The once high and mighty fourth young master of the Pei family has now become a slaughtering machine, just like the Huns.
They turned their swords on their own compatriots!
Rivers of blood, mountains of corpses!
The screams lasted all night! The flames burned all night!
Until the entire city of Fuling is reduced to ashes!
At dawn, Tie Ge emerged from his tent.
Her body also exuded a woman's natural fragrance.
The soft, seductive music inside the tent lasted all night.
Pei Shaochu stood at the entrance of the camp, his face looking haggard.
Last night, he was ordered by Tie Ge to come and guard the tent.
The so-called guarding of the tent was nothing more than a way to humiliate him.
Tie Ge looked at Pei Shaochu, who was already struggling to hold on, and chuckled.
"Women from the Central Plains are indeed different from women from our grasslands."
As he spoke, Tie Ge leaned down and whispered in Pei Shaochu's ear, his tall frame close to his ear.
"Very moisturizing."
Pei Shaochu's face was wrapped in bandages, making him look quite comical, but he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction at the moment.
"I'm glad the general is pleased. It is my wife's blessing to serve you."
Upon hearing this, Tie Ge's mocking expression vanished instantly, and he felt utterly bored looking at Pei Shaochu, who was bowing his head in humility.
"Get lost."
Upon hearing this, Pei Shaochu quickly left as if he had been granted a pardon.
As Pei Shaochu's figure gradually disappeared into the distance, Tie Ge's personal guards couldn't help but sneer.
"I really don't understand why the Left Wise King values this kind of trash so much."
Tie Ge scoffed.
"He's just relying on the fact that he's been to school for a few years, nothing special."
"No matter how powerful he was before, he's nothing more than a dog under my command now."
"Besides, he's no longer a man."
“I thought he would at least come in and argue with me last night, but I didn’t expect him to listen to me all night long.”
"Hmph, if all the scholars of the Han dogs were like him, then the Great Li would be easily taken!"
"This is my chance to make a name for myself throughout the world! Hahahaha!"
Accompanied by Helian Tiege's ferocious laughter.
The vanguard of the Xiongnu cavalry began their advance towards the next city!
When news of Fuling City arrived, Xiao Yu was furious!
Inside the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, Mu Zi'an remained silent as he looked at the report in his hand.
The Pei family traitor, the defending general killed in battle, the Xiongnu massacred the city—these twelve words, though brief, depict a mountain of corpses, a sea of blood, and the wailing of the people.
After a moment, Mu Zian stood up and said to Zhao Yun and Jia Xu beside him.
"Wenhe, Zilong, follow me into the palace in armor."
