Chapter 5 His Promise
Wen Wan felt that if she hesitated for even a second, it would be disrespectful to the handsome guy!
A kiss like a dragonfly skimming the water, fast and accurate.
Wen Wan licked her lips subconsciously, still feeling a little unsatisfied.
In stark contrast to Wenwan's relaxed demeanor, Achai was completely stunned!
His face turned red instantly, visible to the naked eye, and his dilated pupils were filled with shock and anger.
“You, you…”
After living for more than twenty years, this was the first time he was forced to the point where he couldn't speak!
Wen Wan noticed his emotions and explained aggrievedly: "Uh... you asked me to kiss you, so I kissed you."
You can't blame her for being a hooligan.
Achai gritted his teeth in annoyance. He was unable to refute her and could only hold his anger and turn away angrily.
Not far away, Kaneki saw him suffer a loss and instinctively wanted to hide, but as soon as he turned around, his arm was pulled.
Ah Chai said coldly: "Kill that girl while the chaos is going on!"
Jin Mu twitched his lips and said stiffly, "General... didn't you just say that the strategy that the girl proposed to deal with the enemy coincided with yours? She is a talented person."
"You also said that if the blueprints weren't found, this girl would definitely go find the tomb. Is there any use for her?"
Achai: "..."
What he said was true, but he really couldn't tolerate the tone.
Jin Mu advised earnestly, "General, it's no big deal for a grown man to be kissed by a girl..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by A Chai's sharp gaze. He shrank his neck and changed the subject.
"General... could it be that you've never kissed a girl before?"
Shouldn't it be possible?
Kaneki's curiosity was clearly written on his face.
Ah Chai frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about? I have seventeen or eighteen women in my backyard!"
Jin Mu tilted his head and thought, "That's true. With so many concubines in the general's mansion, the general must have been through many battles."
"Of course!" Ah Chai said, loosening his grip and dismissing him, "Alright, go prepare to meet the enemy."
"Why!"
Jinmu ran away immediately, fearing that he would be caught in the trap if he was even half a step slower.
As soon as he left, the expression on Achai's face became completely gloomy.
"Oh, those seventeen or eighteen women... I haven't even looked at them!"
But he couldn't say this to his subordinates, as it would damage his masculinity!
He raised his hand to wipe his mouth, ignoring the warm touch remaining between his lips, and couldn't help but look back in Wenwan's direction.
You silly girl, I wonder if you really don’t understand or are you pretending not to understand?
He was just joking, but she actually dared to respond!

After the flames of war broke out, they were blown by the wind and quickly spread down the mountain in a crazy manner.
This was Wen Wan's first experience of an ancient battlefield.
Although there is no devastating impact like the explosions in modern warfare, the blood splattering wherever the long sword goes still makes people feel frightened.
Achai bent down and pulled Wen Wan, who was still in a daze, onto the horse's back.
There was no romance of riding together, she was laid across in front of him like cargo.
Wen Wan was upside down and couldn't see the situation around her at all. She only knew that the person behind her was killing the enemy cleanly and neatly.
Kill one Mobei person with one sword!
It was like the reincarnation of the god of death, mighty to the extreme.
Another splash of blood poured down on her face. Wen Wan spat and glanced at the young man while struggling.
The firelight reflected on his face, his eyebrows and eyes were sharp and deep, without any cowardice, only the determination to live and die.
Many years later, when Wen Wan woke up in the middle of the night, she could still clearly remember the scene.
The soldiers fought bravely, with faith in their hearts, and marched forward courageously...
Achai and his group rushed into the Mobei people's team with unstoppable force, and fought for half an hour before they broke out of the encirclement.
The horse ran for an unknown amount of time until it stopped at dawn.
As soon as he stopped, the person behind him fell off the horse.
He fell to the grass with a loud thud.
Wen Wan finally had the chance to look over and saw that Achai's clothes were soaked in blood. She couldn't tell whether it was his or the Mobei people's.
He closed his eyes and gasped for breath, seeming to be extremely tired.
The team that originally had about a hundred people now has less than fifty people left.
The soldiers who rushed out had no joy of escaping, and all had gloomy faces.
Wen Wan knew that they were grieving for their dead compatriots.
After falling on the lawn, Achai sat up after a while, his eyes fixed on the mountain top in the distance.
The morning glow brought by sunrise dyes the sky and the earth into the most dazzling colors.
He didn't say any tearful speeches, but simply raised his hand and stuck his sword into the mud, then climbed back on his horse.
The team started moving forward again.
Wen Wan lay on the horse's back and looked at the long sword left on this land.
At that time, she didn't understand why he left the sword here.
It was not until three years later, after he had conquered the royal court of the Mobei people, that he came here specifically to retrieve the sword.
Wen Wan then realized that this sword was his promise of revenge.

In a small town very close to the border town, the team was finally able to stop and rest.
The town is not big and there are not many rooms in the inn.
Wen Wan is the only woman in the team, but she does not enjoy any gender-based preferential treatment.
She was arranged to share a room with Achai.
In the room, she and Achai stared at each other.
Wen Wan: "It's inappropriate for us, a single man and a single woman, to live in the same room, right?"
Ah Chai raised his eyebrows, "A single man and a single woman?"
Wenwan nodded.
"Heh," Ah Chai laughed sarcastically, "Look in the mirror first."
As he spoke, he walked behind the screen, and soon, the sound of bathing water came from behind the screen.
Wen Wan looked confused and walked to the bronze mirror by the window for a moment.
When I saw myself in the bronze mirror, with a dirty face that was three times uglier than a monster.
She understood his sarcasm.
Did he mean that in his eyes, she wasn't considered a woman?
Wen Wan was very unconvinced and walked to the screen angrily.
"I'm a little dirty now, but once I wash it, you can still tell it's a woman's. I don't mind. She's just a concubine of a merchant. But you..."
"You are at least a small leader. If people start to spread rumors that our soldiers are corrupt, you will be the one who suffers."
The man behind the screen remained silent. After a while, he changed into a clean cloth suit and walked out while tying his belt.
He didn't even look at Wen Wan, walked around her to the door, opened the door and said:
"The other brothers sleep eight to a room. If you don't want to live with me, you can squeeze in with them. I have no objection."
Wen Wan's face was dark, with only her eyes remaining relatively clear. She curled her lips and asked in a low voice:
"No other choice?"
Upon hearing this, Achai slowly closed the door and came to Wen Wan.
He looked down at her, "When you kissed me, weren't you very proactive? Why, are you scared now?"
"Who's afraid of who?" Wen Wan retorted instinctively, and went behind the screen to wash up.
"Just wait, I'll come and deal with you once I'm clean!"
If you talk big, whoever is a coward is a bastard!
