Before dawn the next day, Fang Zheng stretched himself and sat up from the bed, feeling refreshed.
"Phew...I slept really well last night."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng yawned, then looked to his side, where a girl was curled up in bed, curled up like a kitten, sleeping soundly. Seeing this, Fang Zheng laughed, then he reached out and slapped the girl on the butt.
"Okay, time to get up!"
“Who is it?!”
Feeling the sudden touch, the girl was frightened and jumped up quickly, subconsciously trying to fight back, but the next moment she screamed and hid back wrapped in the quilt.
"Okay, little girl, the time has come, and you should leave."
As Fang Zheng spoke, he threw a black nightgown in front of the girl. The girl had been holding the quilt tightly to cover her body, but was stunned when she saw Fang Zheng's action.
"You're willing to let me go?"
"Nonsense? Why keep you here?"
Fang Zheng rolled his eyes.
"You came to assassinate me, and I retaliated against you, so we are even. For your brother's sake, I will not take your life. Hurry up and leave. There is a small path behind this side that can lead you down. With that interesting little thing in your hand, it should not be easy to return to the barracks. If you know, change your clothes quickly and leave. It's better not to let me see you again, otherwise, next time will be more exciting."
“You, you…!”
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, the girl's face immediately turned red.
"I'm going to kill you sooner or later!"
Thinking of what happened last night, the girl felt her head boiling. This was the first time she had been played with so wantonly in all her life. Although she tried to resist at first, Fang Zheng's hand seemed to have magic. He just stroked her body and made her feel weak and powerless. She could only be played with by him.
This is a great humiliation for the girl!
If she could, she really wanted to kill this man immediately!
Unfortunately...I can’t do it!
"Well, if you don't leave now, you really won't be able to leave."
However, facing the murderous gaze of the girl, Fang Zheng did not even glance at her. He waved his hand and turned to leave the bedroom. The girl stared at Fang Zheng's receding back, and finally gritted her teeth, turned around and started to put on her clothes. However...
"Hey? Isn't this my dress?"
The girl was also stunned when she saw the familiar nightgown on her body. She still clearly remembered that when she was fighting with Fang Zheng last night, her clothes were torn to shreds by him. Why were they intact now?
Could it be that last night was just a dream and he didn't do anything to me?
Thinking of this, the girl stood up from the bed, took a few steps forward, then her legs went limp and she quickly stood up with the help of the wall.
This feeling...is exactly the same as last night, how could he not have done anything? !
“Ding ding ding——!!!”
A sharp whistle was heard outside. Hearing the whistle, the girl immediately became nervous. Although she didn't know whether someone was looking for her, she hurriedly put on her clothes, left the house, and quickly left through a path in the back garden.
Then at dawn, the girl finally returned to the military camp. However, what she didn't expect was that as soon as she entered the tent, she saw Xiang Yu standing there staring at her.
"Where have you been, Xiaoying?"
Xiaoying is the name of the girl. When she first met Xiang Yu, she only had this nickname and no surname. Xiang Yu gave her the name Xiangzhuang after they became sworn brothers and sisters. When they were around, they called each other by their superficial names, but they were not so restrained in private.
"Uh, I..."
Seeing Xiang Yu, the girl named Xiaoying blushed slightly and turned her head away quickly. Then she glanced at her nightgown and knew that it was impossible to hide it, so she had to bite the bullet and answer.
"I went to Hangu Pass. I thought if we could successfully assassinate that guy, maybe we could easily enter the pass..."
"Idiot! You are really asking for your life!"
Hearing this, Xiang Yu also roared angrily, and then hurried forward.
"You're not hurt?"
"No, no."
Xiaoying waved her hands hurriedly.
"The security there was very tight. I waited all night but didn't find any good opportunities, so I came back."
The girl's words were half true and half false, but Xiang Yu obviously didn't care. As long as his sister came back safely, it was enough.
"Anyway, I'm glad you came back safely. Did you find anything?"
"Ah, I have indeed discovered something."
At this point, the girl hurriedly reported to Xiang Yu what she had observed last night. She also hoped to use this incident to distract him, but Xiang Yu was obviously really stubborn and was directly led away by the girl. After listening to the girl's description of those strange things on the city wall, Xiang Yu also frowned.
"So a night battle isn't feasible? Wow... You are truly worthy of being Master Fang. I never thought of this method."
"He only knows these weird things!"
Hearing Xiang Yu's sigh, the girl immediately remembered the various postures Fang Zheng had put her in last night. She immediately became angry and stomped her feet hard.
Where did he know those shameless actions? !
"Well, there's nothing we can do now."
Xiang Yu didn't notice the girl's question. He just thought about it for a moment and then made a decision immediately.
"We will lead the assault again, and this time we will try a variety of strategic actions."
“Wuwuwu…”
As if to verify Xiang Yu's words, the horn of departure sounded at this moment, and when the girl heard the horn, she jumped up hurriedly.
"I'm going too!"
"No, you should stay in the barracks and rest today. You were busy all night yesterday and you are tired. You should have a good rest."
"Well……"
Hearing what Xiang Yu said, the girl immediately showed an embarrassed expression on her face, and Xiang Yu touched her head, then turned and left the tent.
Soon, the army went out to fight, and the girl was bored in the barracks, tossing and turning from time to time. Logically, she was exhausted from the tossing and turning last night, and she really wanted to sleep, but the girl couldn't fall asleep. What happened last night was too exciting, and it was almost imprinted in her mind and could not be forgotten...
“That bastard!”
Thinking of this, the girl gritted her teeth again and punched the table beside her.
It was unknown how long it had been before a rumbling sound was heard outside. Hearing the sound, the girl hurriedly walked out of her tent and looked up, only to see the army outside the camp slowly returning to defend.
"Did we lose again?"
Seeing this, the girl had a bad premonition in her heart. Although she also hoped that her side could conquer Hangu Pass, if it was really here, then the army would have entered the pass long ago and would not have retreated.
Sure enough, the girl's inner uneasiness was soon confirmed.
"That weird weapon is really powerful."
When Xiang Yu came back again, he was covered in dust and dirt, with black and white spots all over his body, but his expression did not look discouraged.
"We originally wanted to launch a strong attack during the interval between the opponent's launches, but we didn't expect that the opponent would adopt the method of launching in turns..."
"This is not the time to admire the enemy, General."
Fan Zeng couldn't help but speak.
"If we don't find a way to break through Hangu Pass, then if we continue like this, morale will inevitably collapse, and by then it will be too late to regret!"
"But that kind of weapon is indeed difficult to break through... not to mention the underground fire..."
The underground fire that Xiang Yu mentioned was the landmine that Fang Zheng had used before. This time, they originally thought that after yesterday's battle, at least the place they passed by should be safe, so they tried to rush straight over on horseback, but they were blown up into the sky again - they didn't know when the other side had re-filled that area.
As a result, the second attack also failed.
Of course, it was not easy to break through Hangu Pass, but the problem was that unlike before, this time it was not only because of the rugged terrain and the powerful army, but also because the means used by the enemy were unprecedented. In this case, ordinary soldiers would definitely be shaken, and even the commander of the princes' army did not know what to do - after all, facing this kind of powerful weapon that they had never seen before, there was really no way.
"Can we bypass Hangu Pass and go to Xianyang from somewhere else?"
"Forgive me for being blunt, but if they have this kind of weapon, they may have deployed it in Xianyang City. If we take a detour and are blocked outside Xianyang City, then as long as the enemy strikes back, we will be attacked from both sides, and the loss will outweigh the gain."
"Well, but if we continue like this... those weird fire weapons are really giving me a headache..."
"In my opinion..."
Seeing Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng having a heated discussion, the girl hesitated for a moment, but eventually left the tent. After all, she was not good at these things, and was not qualified to speak at such a military meeting.
But now it seems that the guy is really giving my brother a headache.
We still have to kill him!
At this moment, the murderous intent burning in the girl's heart was genuine.
It’s not just because the army was defeated again, but also because... they want revenge!
Since assassination doesn't work, then let's poison them!
Yes, poison!
He may be able to train himself to be as strong as iron, but he will still die if he drinks poison.
Yes, that’s right, poisoning is the right thing to do!
Thinking of this, the girl clenched her fists again and quickly ran out of the military camp.
This time, I will make you look good! !
