I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1893 - 1895: Like Hell We’ll Avoid It

Chapter 1893: Chapter 1895: Like Hell We’ll Avoid It
Yue Jin gave a harsh smile and thrust his steel blade directly into Lü Qiao’s back, piercing through his chest!
You turned around and left alone, surrounded by people fighting each other. Every single vicious slave of the Lü Family who blocked your path was beheaded, their heads flying! They didn’t even know how they died. Even as their heads fell to the ground, their eyes were still wide open, dying without peace.
When you casually stabbed your steel blade into the stone slab beneath your feet, a trail of headless corpses had already been left behind you.
As you rode to the city gate, Wei Yan was chatting casually with Gan Wu. Upon seeing you appear, Wei Yan hurried forward to bow: "Greetings, my Lord."
"I know you’re itching now, go ahead, be quick and skillful. I don’t want any riffraff leaving Pengcheng."
Upon hearing this, Wei Yan’s face lit up with joy and he shouted, "Yes!"
Although aware of your extraordinary combat prowess, Wei Yan still left twenty men to protect you. You laughed as you sat with Gan Wu in the carriage, saying, "Uncle Wu, I hope I didn’t frighten you all."
Gan Wu, having recovered from his initial shock, still looked at the vacant city gate with lingering fear and laughed: "Previously, I had heard of General Fenyong’s martial prowess being unmatched in the world. Today, I truly have had my horizons broadened."
"It’s just a small trick. Let’s go. Tonight, we’ll rest at the Governor’s Mansion and change transport tomorrow. After all, this carriage is a bit slow."
"Alright." Naturally, Gan Wu’s entire family looked to you for guidance.
At this moment, Gan Mei poked her head out of the carriage, smiling warmly at you like sunshine, warming your heart considerably.
The Lü Family dared to confront Yue Jin relying on Cao Hong’s current power in Xuzhou. As the saying goes, "When one person achieves the way, even their pets ascend to heaven." The Lü Family’s revolt was quickly suppressed by great force in front of the regular army. Your military orders are always unwavering, regardless of how many people pleaded at the Governor’s Mansion for the Lü Family, Yue Jin ended up beheading all the important men of the Lü Family on the city walls, while all the women of the household became prostitutes, either as official or camp prostitutes.
Even though you hail from modern times, you do not intend to disrupt the hierarchy of this era. You don’t care about how others criticize your family, you only care about yourself and your loved ones, and that’s enough.
Sometimes, you even ponder whether the Empress brought you into this world just to temper your disposition.
After all, only in a world of war can a man’s ruthlessness truly be honed.
Even if Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and others later abolish the slave system and jointly criticize and attack you, you still go your own way, insisting on and improving the slave system.
This is you, a true villain!
The Lü Family’s downfall truly resulted from their own arrogance and overbearingness. They even closed the city gate themselves, giving Yue Jin and Wei Yan the opportunity to seal the gate securely. Under your command, the merchants and farmers who witnessed your might that day were expelled into Pengcheng, and Pengcheng remained sealed for half a month, allowing no word to leak out.
That night, in a room at the Pengcheng Governor’s Mansion, you sat alone with Yue Jin and Wei Yan. Before you was a map drawn with considerable detail. You circled Pengcheng’s surroundings with your finger and told the two, "This area is the administrative region of Pengcheng — your jurisdiction. The task I give you is simple: once the ’Eastern Wind Plan’ begins, you must clear all opposing forces in the fastest time possible, leaving none!"
"Yes!"
At this moment, Wei Yan pointed worriedly at Dongguan County in northernmost Xuzhou: "Dongguan County is a flat terrain and faces enemies on three sides. If Cao Cao’s army marches south, this place may be defenseless."
You chuckled, saying: "This is a training ground. Here, I will showcase to the Nine Provinces an unprecedented battle style. If Cao Cao comes, I will surely make him spit blood!"
Yue Jin and Wei Yan exchanged glances, then simultaneously asked: "May I ask, my Lord, who is the Chief Guardian of this place?"
"Secret." You showed a hint of a mysterious smile.
Then, you pulled out a scroll of cloth from your bosom, spread it on the table, and said to Yue Jin and Wei Yan: "This is the method of training soldiers. After you’ve seen it, burn it immediately."
Upon hearing this, Yue Jin and Wei Yan were overjoyed. They had long admired the prowess of your Personal Guard team and envied your unique method of training soldiers. Now, seeing you share such a confidential and important military strategy, they immediately saluted. They were just about to say some passionate words of allegiance when you cut them off with a curse: "Still being polite with me? Stop saying those useless and unreliable words. If you truly care for me, do well and shelter your descendants!"
"Yes!"
"Hiss!"
At this moment, your ears moved simultaneously. You reacted the fastest, casually grabbing the teacup on the table and hurling it towards a certain part of the courtyard. Wei Yan and Yue Jin were slightly slower. They both drew their waist knives and rushed out swiftly.
"Clang!"
In the darkness, a person blocked Wei Yan and Yue Jin’s attack, holding a horizontal blade in front.
"Huh? Zilong!" Upon seeing the visitor clearly, Wei Yan and Yue Jin called out his name in surprise.
"Come in, all of you." You sipped some tea and then called to a dark corner outside the courtyard, "Come massage my back, my body feels weary."
A shadow flickered past, and to Yu Jin and Wei Yan’s surprise, a veiled woman flashed rapidly to your back, gently massaging it like a humble maid.
Wei Yan and Yu Jin exchanged glances again and quietly asked Zhao Yun beside them: "Should we step aside?"
"Step aside for what nonsense! Zilong and Zheng Zhi are both military leaders; what’s there to avoid?" You, with your eyes closed, patted the table and resumed speaking: "Come over, I have more to discuss."
"Oh."
The three then kneeled before you.
"Zilong, how did you know I was here?" This was what you most wanted to know.
Zhao Yun gathered his thoughts and began to speak: "This matter..."
Hearing Zhao Yun’s tone, which seemed to be about to adopt classical Chinese, you immediately stopped him: "Speak in plain language."
Others may not understand, but having trained Zhao Yun for over four months, he naturally knew what colloquial language meant. He scratched his head and smiled, saying: "This still has to go back a few days. A few days ago, we were in Dongguan County and wiped out a group of mountain bandits numbering about two thousand. On our return, we noticed a large gathering of Cao Army in the territories of Qing Zhou and Yan Province. At the time, we thought Cao Cao was going to march south, so we dispersed and prepared for an ambush."
"Ambush?"
Wei Yan’s eyes gleamed, evidently interested in this term he hadn’t heard before.
"Don’t interrupt!"
You glared at Wei Yan.
Zhao Yun smiled at Wei Yan, then continued: "However, the Cao Army merely set up checkpoints on every road with no intention of going south. So, Zheng Zhi and I each led two hundred men, infiltrating Yan Province and Qing Zhou. Subsequently, I encountered General Xiao and others in a mountainous area."
"Xiao San? That kid Xiao San is still alive!" Upon hearing this, you sat up abruptly, staring intently at Zhao Yun.
