Chapter 1847 - 1848: Kill One, Bathe in Blood
CHAPTER 1847: CHAPTER 1848: KILL ONE, BATHE IN BLOOD
"You..." Wang Yun suddenly stood up, reaching out his withered arm and pointing at you.
To be honest, Wang Yun had acted all his life, played the role of righteousness all his life, but had never seen someone like you.
You smiled nonchalantly and said to Wang Yun, "Actually, Lord Situ, everything you’ve done for me, I will remember it. I, as a person, always repay kindness and will never take anything for free. Therefore, I have a suggestion for you to consider. If successful, Dong Zhuo will surely die, and the Xiliang Army will definitely fall apart. The main point is that you, Lord Situ, can take Dong Zhuo’s head without using a single soldier."
Wang Yun’s eyes gleamed, and he said eagerly, "Tell me."
"It’s actually simple. The reason Dong Zhuo is so arrogant is that, on one hand, the Xiliang Army is brave and good at fighting; on the other, the warlords fear Lü Bu’s power. We can’t move against the Xiliang Army, so we can only target Lü Bu. Dong Zhuo and Lü Bu are both men, and conflicts between men are nothing more than about power and beauty. Just create a rift between Lü Bu and Dong Zhuo, as Lü Bu is lecherous..."
Wang Yun interjected in surprise, "Lü Bu is lecherous? I’ve never heard of that!"
You sneered and said, "Don’t you know that Lü Bu’s trusted aides are a hundred delicate maidens? Tell me, which general would carry such burdens while marching? Lü Bu is a man who delights in a harem. Lord Situ, you just need to employ a beauty trap, and you could do this and that..."
After you slightly altered a classic plot from Romance of the Three Kingdoms and told it to Wang Yun, Wang Yun’s face immediately flashed with brilliance, and he clapped and exclaimed, "Excellent!"
"Of course it’s excellent, considering who came up with this plan." You raised an eyebrow, "Since that’s the case, we’re even. I’ve offended Zhang Ji’s family, and that bastard will certainly want to skin me alive. For this, I must leave Chang’an as soon as possible."
Although Wang Yun really wanted to keep you, he also knew that you were definitely not someone he could control. Since you had already offered such a move, he couldn’t force you to stay. After a reluctant farewell, he let Wang Ling escort you out.
After you left with Wang Ling, Wang Yun murmured to himself, "Both Dong Zhuo and Lü Bu are used to beauties. Now, the key is to find a charming and unique woman who can bewilder both at first sight. It seems I must find her personally."
Back at the small courtyard prepared for you by Wang Ling, Ren Hongchang and Zhao Yu were already sitting quietly awaiting you. Upon seeing you, both women visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
You didn’t say much, as if there was a certain spiritual connection between the three of you. Through exchanged glances, you could understand each other’s thoughts.
Wang Ling naturally wanted to keep you as well, but he knew the situation was urgent. As Dong Zhuo’s confidant, Zhang Ji’s forces were guarding key points throughout Chang’an City.
"Yan Yun, listen to me. Wang Yun is a man of deep thoughts and inconsistent manners. You must be careful in your future actions. Besides, he is up against Dong Zhuo, and if it fails, you will also be implicated. Make early arrangements to prevent unforeseen events."
Although you hadn’t spent much time with Wang Ling, you still valued this brotherly bond. Regardless of how Wang Ling treated others, he was sincere to you. Whether in the real history of the Three Kingdoms or in this time and space, you were certain that Wang Yun would not have a good end and hoped Wang Ling would not be implicated.
Wang Ling nodded and saluted you, saying, "Rest assured, brother, Ling understands!"
"Hmm, with your word, I’m relieved. In the future, if you have no place to go, be sure to find me."
You bid a reluctant farewell to Wang Ling, choosing not to leave through the main gate. After all, Zhang Ji was now searching the city; if he discovered Wang Yun’s harboring of you, Wang Yun’s days of comfort would be numbered.
Therefore, you quietly left through the back gate of Wang Yun’s Mansion, with Wang Ling thoughtfully arranging a carriage for you. The coachman was a trusted aide of Wang Ling.
You rode in the carriage, slowly heading towards the eastern city wall of Chang’an City.
At this time, Zhang Ji would surely be focusing his attention on the city gates, but you did not plan to leave through them. The city walls of Chang’an City were over twenty meters high, but that was only from the outside. From the inside, reaching the city walls was relatively simple. With your skills, escaping was not difficult. Once outside of Chang’an City, Little Liu would be there to meet you.
As the carriage traveled a certain distance, you suddenly heard a commotion ahead, with the sound of weapon clashes and screams.
You lifted the curtain slightly, peering outside.
At this moment, a group of Xiliang soldiers were pursuing three women ahead. Two of them were seriously injured, and one had already been pierced by a spear in her chest, her earlier scream echoing in your ears.
"Third sister, run!" At this time, one of the women gave a brutal push to the one in front of her, turning back with her sword to stab at the closest Xiliang soldier.
Upon hearing this voice, Zhao Yu abruptly stood up, grabbed the longsword in his hand without a word, and swiftly charged out of the carriage.
"Damn, an accident at this crucial moment," you said, slapping your forehead. While it was unfortunate, with Zhao Yu already outside, all you could do was grab the Verdict and step out of the carriage.
This was the first time you saw Zhao Yu in action, completely unreserved!
Fast, so fast that one couldn’t keep up, so fast it was unbelievable!
Ordinary people simply couldn’t see Zhao Yu’s sword trajectory; they only saw a blur. In mere moments, the three Xiliang soldiers at the front had fallen, each with a similar wound, their heart’s armor stained red.
The saying goes, "Kill one man, blood splatters a body," yet Zhao Yu remained untainted, like an exiled immortal wielding a sword.
"Elder sister, I’m here to help you!"
A shadow leaped out from behind you, and in the blink of an eye, the little knife in Ren Hongchang’s hand had claimed a soldier’s life. Compared to Zhao Yu’s transcendent style, Ren Hongchang seemed more grounded. Speed-wise, she was slightly inferior to Zhao Yu, but in terms of assassination skills, she was absolutely top-tier. She was like a storm, carrying an alluring scent, and anyone who caught it instantly fell lifeless to the ground. Without exception, their throats were slashed, crimson blood gushing from the wound to scarlet the earth.
Zhao Yu was your official wife, the primary wife. Ren Hongchang came later, and while you held no formal titles of wife and concubine here, Ren Hongchang still respected Zhao Yu as her superior, calling her elder sister. Women’s relationships seemed simple on the surface, yet were intricately complex. For future harmony, everyone had to be sincere.
Standing on the carriage, you sighed softly, knowing you couldn’t leave now. You patted the coachman’s back and, with a smile, said, "Just drop us off here."
That coachman, being an ordinary civilian, had never seen such a spectacle and was so scared that he immediately drove the carriage away in a panic.
Carrying the Verdict, you staggered over to the two women. At this time, a woman with a notable appearance lay in Zhao Yu’s arms, an arrow embedded in her shoulder, blood staining half her body, her face ashen, clearly not long for this world. Beside Zhao Yu knelt another woman whose attire matched the one in Zhao Yu’s arms, her lovely face now marked with sorrow: "Chun Liu, you can’t die, you can’t die!"
The **liu woman struggled to speak to Zhao Yu: "Elder, elder sister, go, go save, save..."
Before finishing her sentence, she breathed her last.
