I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1954 - 1956: Borrowing Something from You

Chapter 1954: Chapter 1956: Borrowing Something from You
Zhen Luo returned to her bedroom and found a bamboo slip placed on the bed.
As Liu Mei furrowed her brow slightly, the maid had already picked up the bamboo slip and opened it some distance away from Zhen Luo. As Zhen Luo’s personal maid, she was key to shielding Zhen Luo in critical moments.
After careful inspection, the maid said to Zhen Luo: "Madam, it’s just a regular document. It contains a poem similar to the one recited by that man at the City Lord’s Mansion tonight, called Luo Shenfu."
"Throw it away." Zhen Luo didn’t even have the mood to listen and immediately turned and walked away. "Since someone entered the room, it indicates that it’s no longer safe. Quickly relocate and inform the City Lord to handle it himself!"
"Understood!"
If it weren’t for knowing she was pregnant, Zhen Luo might have already lost her temper and demanded an alert throughout Xinwen City. However, she was in a decent mood tonight, and it was just a mere admirer anyway.
"Madam, what should I do with this bamboo slip?"
"Find somewhere to toss it, it’s an eyesore." Zhen Luo couldn’t care less and left casually.
The maid casually threw Cao Zhi’s painstaking creation out of the window, and after Zhen Luo left with the others, a dark shadow swiftly appeared from the corner, picked up the slip from the ground, and placed it in his arms. The shadow moved with incredible speed, like a ghost in the night; the movement technique alone could match yours.
The shadow left the temporary residence of Zhen Luo and silently entered a nearby dwelling.
"Zijian, how did it go?" Xu Gan promptly asked upon seeing the shadow enter.
The shadow was Cao Zhi, renowned for his literary talents, consistently praised by Cao Cao as a genius. At this moment, however, Cao Zhi appeared defeated and disheartened. He sighed deeply, placed the bamboo slip on the table, and lamented: "She didn’t even have the mood to take a glance."
Xu Gan patted Cao Zhi’s shoulder and said, "There are countless opportunities elsewhere. Regarding rations, I’ve already made arrangements with the Mi Family, so we can leave tonight."
Cao Zhi nodded, his handsome face showing determination again: "I will never give up!"
Seeing clearly, Xu Gan advised earnestly, "As long as you’re alive, you’ll never have the chance."
Cao Zhi glanced sharply at Xu Gan, his eyes flaring with a trace of ruthlessness in the lamplight: "In that case, I must first take Li Muyun’s life!"
After the battle in Xinwen Suburbs, Xiahou Dun fought against you twice on flat ground and lost each time. Although your numbers have dwindled to just over eight thousand, and there are many wounded in the army, your reputation genuinely frightened Xiahou Dun!
Your troops weren’t terrifying for the harm they did to ordinary soldiers; they targeted Military Generals and all leaders above Centurion. After two encounters, Xiahou Dun found he had no generals left at hand. Twenty leaders of a thousand and ten thousand men have died at your hands.
"Damn it!"
Standing on the city wall, Xiahou Dun angrily slammed his fists on the hard parapet. From his vantage point, your tiny figure was placed directly ahead, thousands of meters away. Currently, your forces are under ten thousand, while there are still fifty thousand Cao Army troops in Xinwen City, making it seem like a sure win for the Cao Army, yet after two clashes, Xiahou Dun has already been made afraid of you.
In the past, Xiahou Dun was nearly invincible on the battlefield. Even when facing Yuan Shao’s six hundred thousand strong army, he never hesitated, not even a sliver of fear has he ever had. But at this moment, filled with anger and dread, he was against you.
Those who have never seen you fight will never believe that a human could inflict such terrifying damage single-handedly. Even amidst tens of thousands of battles, you can still easily maneuver, sometimes crashing through barriers; wherever you pass, corpses scattered, none to survive.
"It’s been seven days, trapped in this narrow Xinwen City for seven days. Why hasn’t the rear supply arrived?" Xiahou Dun suddenly asked the Deputy General beside him, newly promoted after the previous one was split in half by you three days ago, the gory scene still slightly discomforting Xiahou Dun, accustomed to death.
"General, I have already sent someone to pressure Gaoyuan City for supplies; we should have a reply by tomorrow."
After hearing this, Xiahou Dun raised his head to the sky, his heart filled with frustration. In the face of the elite Xuzhou troops ahead, Xiahou Dun always felt powerless.
Meanwhile, on your side, Xiao San quickly approached you with information from the carrier falcon, whispering, "Boss, Zilong has safely arrived in Youzhou, and yesterday night, he executed your secret order, capturing Xiangping City in Liaodong Prefecture and obliterated Gongsun Du’s kin."
"Good! That’s excellent news!" You seemed slightly excited, "With Zhao Yun holding Youzhou, I can finally set my mind at ease!"
After a brief excitement, you looked at Xiao San and asked, "How are the preparations over in Xinwen?"
"Everything is ready; we can act by tomorrow."
You turned towards the direction of Xinwen, the corners of your mouth slightly upturned: "Soon, this dull conflict can be ended."
The following day, at Xinwen City’s north gate.
The long-awaited supplies for Xiahou Dun finally arrived. Since it coincided with lunchtime, those who had just taken over their superiors’ positions hurriedly had the soldiers cook meals with the freshly delivered supplies.
Xiahou Dun finally exhaled a long breath of relief, lazily stretching in the city tower.
"General, Li General responsible for escorting the supplies from Gaoyuan City requests your audience," came the message from the orderly outside the door.
With the supply problem solved, Xiahou Dun’s mood slightly eased, so he leaned against his seat, somewhat idly saying, "Let them in."
"Understood!"
Soon, the city tower doors opened and five tall men strode inside. The leader’s stature was significantly taller than average, due to the backlight, Xiahou Dun couldn’t clearly see their faces, but the leader’s physique was incredibly familiar.
"Li General, thank you for your help; after repelling Thief Li, I will certainly your accomplishments to the Prime Minister," Xiahou Dun said, standing up and walking towards the lead man.
"General Xiahou is too kind. Actually, there’s something I need to borrow from Xiahou Dun."
"Oh? If I have it, I surely wouldn’t be stingy. Dare I ask, General, what is it?" Xiahou Dun suddenly found the voice before him somewhat familiar.
At that moment, clouds happened to shade the sunlight and Xiahou Dun instantly saw clearly the person before him. In that instant, his pupils suddenly dilated, immediately exclaiming: "It’s you!!!"
The visitor was none other than you!
And at the moment your lips curved, your person transformed into a shooting light towards Xiahou Dun!
"Not good!"
While Xiahou Dun’s martial arts were decent, they were barely enough against ordinary Martial Artists. Alone against you, he had absolutely no chance of survival!
Upon seeing you, Xiahou Dun didn’t shout; he lunged sideways to the right. However, he was ultimately one step too slow. With all your might, you executed a single strike, the infinitely sharp steel blade sliced into Xiahou Dun’s waist without encountering any resistance and silently. By the time Xiahou Dun fell to the ground, his body was already split into two!
