Chapter 301: Smart Master
Everyone's attention was focused on Wen Wan.
Some people are puzzled, some sigh, some gloat, and some are vaguely worried.
The first person to speak and break the tense atmosphere was Shen Yu.
His voice was cold. "I don't know when a woman from my Duan Dynasty became a gift to please the people of Mobei."
After a pause, his tone became sharper.
"You guys are worthy?"
He really didn't give the bearded man any face at all.
When the bearded man heard this, he immediately became furious and swung the whip in his hand towards Shen Yu.
Wenwan's lips trembled, and she was so shocked that she wanted to remind him.
Fortunately, Shen Yu's reaction was faster than hers. Shen Yu raised his hand swiftly, with veins exposed on the back of his hand, and he grabbed the whip accurately.
His face was gloomy, and he grabbed the whip and pulled it hard.
The bearded man on the horse felt a strong force coming at him, and before he could figure out what was happening, he was pulled off the horse.
The bearded man quickly let go of the whip and rolled twice on the ground before he could steady himself. When he looked at Shen Yu again, his eyes were filled with shock.
He never expected that a weak-looking man, leaning on a crutch, could catch his whip with his bare hands and pull him off the horse.
Only true practitioners know that these two seemingly simple movements are not easy to perform.
The bearded man is not a coward. In Mobei, anyone who can become a young general must have extraordinary abilities.
Before this, the bearded man had never encountered such a strong opponent.
But after all, it happened in front of his own brothers, and the bearded man lost face and could not tolerate this.
He immediately drew the scimitar from his waist and walked towards Shen Yu.
"Damn it, I'm going to cut you into eighteen pieces today!"
Seeing that the bearded man had walked up to Shen Yu and was about to chop him with his knife, Wen Wan moved her feet instinctively.
"Just you?"
Shen Yu sneered, raised the cane in his hand, and the tip of the cane attacked the bearded man directly.
The tip of the bearded man's knife had already touched Shen Yu's brow, but he was completely unaware and didn't even look away.
The bearded man's knife didn't hit Shen Yu in the end, but Shen Yu's crutch hit the bearded man's chest firmly.
"You, you... who are you?"
The bearded man asked in disbelief.
Shen Yu did not answer his question, but exerted force with his hand and suddenly used his crutch to knock the bearded man to the ground.
Shen Yu retracted his cane and then spoke again.
“General He, do you still want to watch Shen’s excitement?”
Shen Yu raised his lips mockingly, and then said: "Why, in order to test me, you even disregarded Duan Chao's face?"
Temptation.
These two words made Wen Wan's heart skip a beat.
Sure enough, He Qing had been watching coldly, just wanting to see how Shen Yu would react when the bearded man attacked Shen Yu.
Fortunately, Shen Yu disguised himself very well. Even though the tip of the knife was so close, his expression remained calm.
He Qing was called out, and he stood up while applauding.
"As expected of General Shen, even though he's blind, his demeanor remains the same. I'm relieved that you're taking care of the Duan Dynasty's reputation."
The two accused each other, but also exposed each other's shortcomings.
The bearded man who had fallen to the ground stood up with the help of his subordinates. He was a little unconvinced at first, but when he heard the words "General Shen", he suddenly felt relieved.
"I thought it was General Shen."
The Mobei soldiers behind became alert after hearing the name of General Shen.
Shen Yu's deterrent power on the battlefield is enough to give us a glimpse of this.
The bearded man thought for a moment and said, "Since General Shen is here, I really can't make the decision. So, you wait, I'll go ask my master if he's willing to see you."
Having said that, the bearded man climbed onto his horse without caring whether they agreed or not, and led the group away.
*
As soon as the people from Mobei left, the atmosphere became depressing.
Everyone with different thoughts did not speak, especially He Qing and his men. After seeing the strength that Shen Yu had displayed earlier, they had more thoughts in their minds.
Along the way, facing their ridicule and mockery, Shen Yu was just enduring it. If he was really pushed to the limit, Shen Yu alone could kill half of them.
No one would let down their guard against someone who could take their life at any time.
Wen Wan frowned when she saw this, and couldn't help but worry about Shen Yu.
He sat on the ground as if nothing had happened, bored, occasionally poking the soil in front of him with his crutch.
A moment later, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and the bearded man returned.
"My master has said that he is willing to see you, but..." He raised his hand and counted the number of people, "You people from the Duan Dynasty are cunning, so we can only let you in with ten followers."
"Ten?" He Qing's subordinates immediately jumped out to object.
"No! You are so many in number. What if you attack us in the valley? What should we do then?"
"That's right! You say we, the people of Duan Dynasty, are cunning. Do you think you, the people of Mobei, are kind?"
The bearded man seemed to have been prepared for this, knowing that they would not easily agree, so he added:
"In that case, let's both take a step back. Don't you have two generals? One goes in, and the other stays outside. If we have a conflict, the other... can lead the army to rescue us."
This sounds like a fair and feasible solution.
But Wenwan frowned.
It would be fine if Shen Yu and He Qing were brothers on the same front, but these two people...are fighting to the death.
If something really happens to the other person, let alone rescuing them, it would be magnanimous and forgiving not to kick them when they are down.
The bearded man gradually lost his patience as he didn't get a response.
"You are always fussy when doing things in the court. Tell me whether you want to come in or not! My master doesn't have the time to wait."
He snorted again, "My master also said that since the ceasefire has been signed and Duanchao and Mobei are about to open trade, we in Mobei will give you face and give you a chance to talk, as long as... you dare to come."
This bearded man is a smart man who uses both soft and hard tactics.
Now that things have come to this, even if there are dangerous places inside, we must go there.
Shen Yu remained calm and composed. He dusted off his robe, stood up, and said:
"If General He is afraid, I will go this time."
He Qing did not agree immediately, but seemed to be thinking about something with his head down.
In a moment, He Qing raised his head with a meaningful smile on his face.
"That won't work. General Shen is suffering from an eye disease, so it's inconvenient for him to enter the valley. It's better for us to wait here."
After saying that, He Qing called out to his nine subordinates and threw Wen Wan onto the horse's back.
Shen Yu's fingers trembled, his brows furrowed, and he could only watch He Qing and his group disappear into the depths of the dense forest.
