It's really an eyesore! Shen Jiao shifted her gaze to Ji Yan's face and couldn't help but think, how could a person who is obsessed with good looks allow such an ugly mount?
Is there some kind of unusual fetish? But this fetish is really too ugly.
Shen Jiao nestled nestled affectionately in Ji Yan's arms. To outsiders, it seemed like a tremendous blessing, but in reality, it was anything but comfortable. The journey had been bumpy and painful, but she dared not voice her opinion. She clung tightly to the tyrant's narrow waist, lest she displease him and be thrown into the Wei army. Who would she then complain to?
"His Majesty!"
With a tug on the reins, the black horse stopped. Ji Yan tugged at the back of Chen Jiao's neck to prevent her from falling off if she shrunk too much. He looked excitedly across the way and asked, "Zhou Hu, how many people did they bring this time?"
Opposite them was a reddish-brown horse, followed by dozens of soldiers. On the horse was a burly man in armor. Shen Jiao could only see his thick beard and couldn't make out his face at all. He could only say that he looked quite fierce, like a door god pasted on a door to ward off evil spirits.
"Three thousand cavalrymen will lead the charge," Zhou Hu reported loudly. "Following them are twenty thousand infantrymen, but they are not to be feared. Chen Bao has already engaged the Wei army in battle."
Ji Yan raised an eyebrow: "Chen Bao came from Heihe?"
Zhou Hu chuckled and cursed twice, "We rushed back overnight and just happened to run into them at the pass. We caught that damned Wei dog off guard. Is Your Majesty heading to the city now?"
In the past, he would never have wasted his breath asking such questions, as Ji Yan would always fight alongside them. But now the situation was different. There was a strange little girl in the picture. This kind of cowardly creature, like a kitten, would probably be scared out of its wits on the battlefield. Zhou Hu sneered.
He was used to Wei's tricks of offering women to sue for peace, but he was surprised that this one was so beautiful. The old dog Wei was really willing to spend a lot of money.
At this moment, Shen Jiao could only remain silent. If she were ugly enough, it would be fine, but she was born with a reputation that could bring ruin to the country. Now, her already not-so-good reputation has become even worse.
However, tyrants also have a bad reputation, so wouldn't you say they're birds of a feather?
Ji Yan lowered her head and asked her, "Where do you want to go?"
She actually has the right to choose?
From this perspective, the tyrant isn't actually that heartless. A glint flashed in Shen Jiao's eyes. "I want to go to the city."
We definitely have to go to the city. Swords have no eyes, and it's always safer up in the city than down there.
"Alright." Ji Yan raised his whip, spurred his horse forward, and laughed heartily. "Then let's go to Saikou."
Shen Jiao: "..." Is it fun to tease her? Why are you asking such nonsense? You're sick!
Ji Yan was incredibly confident in his horsemanship, arrogant and dashing, leaving everyone else in the dust. She was jostled around until she saw stars, her whole body ached as if it were about to fall apart, and she felt like she was going to throw up, she really was going to throw up. Ji Yan, you son of a bitch!
As Zhou Hu watched the two figures disappear into the distance, he sighed sincerely, "Your Majesty is truly amazing. He even knows when the young lady is being sarcastic. But when did Your Majesty begin to indulge in women?"
Wow, she even managed to win over His Majesty! This young lady is quite something.
"General, why don't you stop His Majesty? Even if that woman is favored, she shouldn't be treated like this. I really don't understand why a woman shouldn't stay at home and be a good wife and mother. What kind of behavior is it to show her face in public like this? She's not a proper wife. In my hometown, she would be drowned in a pig cage."
Zhou Hu turned his head and said that the man who was speaking was called Wang Dazhuang. He had seen that Wang Dazhuang was quite skilled after they went to the battlefield a few times, so he promoted him to his side. But now that he looked at him, he was a fool.
Everyone knows that His Majesty is not interested in women, which has made the succession of his lineage a major problem. Now that a breakthrough has finally been made, why are we still concerned about these things at this critical juncture?
He asked, "Where is your hometown?"
Wang Dazhuang said proudly, "Xinghua Village."
Zhou Hu sneered, "But this is Langya Pass. Words can bring disaster. Be careful what you say."
Having said that, he spurred his horse and chased after them.
Shen Jiao didn't know if it was fierce or not; she only knew that she was in a state of agonizing pain, her whole body aching terribly. Meanwhile, Ji Yan, that madman, was wielding his red-tasseled spear to kill enemies while also having the leisure to explain the moves and thrusting techniques to her. When he got to the difficult parts, he even enthusiastically picked a guinea pig from the Wei army to demonstrate and explain to her. Even the teachers in the college entrance exam training class weren't as serious as him, okay?
Shen Jiao tried to bluff her way through, but Ji Yan, that madman, was tireless and patiently guided her again and again, determined to make sure she learned it.
Forced into a corner, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and face the challenge head-on. In this life-or-death moment with the yellow sand swirling around her, she was like a well-behaved student preparing for an exam, which was quite speechless.
Ji Yan didn't deliberately shield Shen Jiao, allowing her to be completely exposed to the sunlight. Her dazzling red dress was as vibrant and beautiful as a rose. His smile was enchanting and captivating, as if he were openly showing off his treasure.
Everyone was astonished. The Yan Emperor, who was not interested in women, actually brought his young lady to the battlefield. It was too absurd, utterly absurd.
The Great Yan feared its days were numbered.
The Yan army, however, had a completely different idea. Led by Chen Bao, this young woman who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old actually had such courage! Faced with such a bloody and violent scene, she was not only panicked but also remained calm. She was perverted and bold enough, a perfect match for their emperor. They should lock her down.
Shen Jiao cried out that she was wronged. But she wasn't calm at all; her face was covered in yellow sand, and she couldn't see anything!
She used to be afraid of dead people too, but back then, the Wei people were worried that the original owner, being a half-baked person, would make mistakes, so they threw the original owner into a mass grave for three days and three nights. As a result, the original owner was scared to death at the beginning, and she had to endure the next two days on her own.
From initial fear to calm, and finally to near numbness, to put it bluntly, she was no longer afraid of anything, except that the smell still made her feel nauseous.
The Wei army sent 23,000 troops, but facing the 30,000 elite soldiers brought by Chen Shan, it was like throwing an egg against a rock. In addition, Ji Yan's reckless killing made the Yan army aggressive, while the enemy's morale was immediately exhausted.
Finally, the surprise attack ended with the enemy general dying under Ji Yan's spear. It is customary to take the enemy's head to boost morale after a victory.
When beheading, Ji Yan handed his sword to the numb and speechless Shen Jiao with great respect, saying, "Come on, let's practice."
It's not like we're chopping cabbages, does practicing have to be so bloody and violent? She's still a child, and if this continues, her mind will become twisted.
Shen Jiao refused, her arms trembling, "Your Majesty, I have no strength left, I can't lift it."
What a joke! If you let her behead someone, the enemy general might die with his eyes wide open in disbelief and come back as a ghost to question her about why she beheaded him so unevenly!
"How can you be so useless?" Ji Yan was furious when Shen Jiao didn't cut him down, and suddenly lost interest in his penchant for taking heads.
He was angry at her for being so useless, and waved his hand in annoyance. His extremely aloof face, coupled with his gloomy and world-weary expression, made Shen Jiao as quiet as a chicken in fear.
Ji Yan had Chen Shan take his head, and then hung it on the city wall as a show of force.
She's not up to par? She didn't cry, didn't make a scene, didn't faint, and didn't vomit—that's already more than enough! Is she being unreasonable because she didn't shout "666" (a Chinese internet slang term for something impressive)? That's utterly incomprehensible, beyond words.
Shen Jiao didn't want to argue. The more she argued in front of the emperor, the shorter her life would be. She could bear the slightest grievance.
