Chapter 100 Taking the Risk to Rescue the Hero and Settle His Mind
In the past two years, Shuwu has done a very good job in strengthening the city's defenses.
After failing to break through for a long time, they gradually began to indulge in nightly revelry.
He ordered his men to collect beautiful women throughout the city for his own enjoyment.
The people in the city dared not speak out against their anger.
Families with daughters would always smear their faces with black paint if they had to go out.
After finishing my business, I quickly went back and hid.
General Yan's daughter, Yan Ran, had a plan, hoping that the imperial army would act according to the plan, provoking the enemy outside to lure them out of the city.
This way, they could coordinate their efforts from within and without the city to carry out their mission and rescue people.
After receiving the news, people outside went to provoke them several times.
That Shuwu refused to come out of his room, meaning he wouldn't fight.
The marshal then spread the word in the city that the generals who came to support Tongtian Pass this time had brought a large amount of grain and fodder.
When they went to provoke him again, Nashuwu stood on the city wall, thought about it, and still did not fight.
Marshal Zhinashuwu lived a peaceful life in the city.
He then discussed with his generals and soldiers the idea of using a beauty trap to please them.
Send someone to the city to spread the word:
This time, the young master of the Marquis's mansion brought not only provisions but also a stunningly beautiful woman with him to Tongtian Pass.
Li Rongchuan then realized that there was no stunning beauty among them.
It seems I did bring a beauty with me, the one I love.
The problem now is, if Nashuwu is really tempted, how do we convince him that there really is such a stunning beauty?
After hearing what the wounded general had to say, Mu Huaisheng took the initiative to go to Li Rongchuan:
"Rongchuan, I'm in!"
No! You can't do it!
That's too dangerous!
"Listen to what I have to say before you decide."
If you were to find a beautiful girl, she would be afraid of an ordinary girl amidst a vast army.
What if something unexpected happens? How can I explain this to my fellow villagers?
I am bold and I am used to being in contact with the brothers.
If we're far apart, I can cover my face with a light veil.
I can play the pipa, and it's safe from a distance, as long as I can lure that scoundrel out of the city.
Mu Huaisheng said a lot of things, and Li Rongchuan remained silent after listening.
This is indeed a good idea, and it should be the most effective way to whet Shuwu's appetite.
"From beginning to end, I was always behind the army and I was perfectly safe!"
I can't go to the front lines; my face would be exposed if I got too close.
Mu Huaisheng laughed and made a self-deprecating joke.
Looking at the silent Li Rongchuan, he paused and then said:
"The captured soldiers in the city are still suffering inhuman torture; we must act quickly!"
After thinking for a moment, Li Rongchuan suddenly took Mu Huaisheng's hand and pulled him into his arms.
Mu Huaisheng was stunned for a moment, feeling both happy and shy:
Was it really that sudden?
A moment later, Li Rongchuan released his grip as if it were burning hot.
"Huaisheng, I apologize for being so abrupt..."
I just want to say, trust me, wait until this battle is over...
Anyway, trust me!
Mu Huaisheng's old heart started beating faster:
"No need for further words, I believe you!"
Li Rongchuan carefully pulled the person into his arms again, and they could both hear each other's heartbeats.
After a long while, the two reluctantly parted ways, and Huaisheng left with a flushed face.
Even after lying in bed, Mu Huaisheng couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
After the blush faded from Li Rongchuan's face, his mood was somewhat complicated, a mixture of happiness and other emotions.
A day later, Li Rongchuan brought her a pipa, which Mu Huaisheng would take out and practice whenever she had free time.
Meanwhile, rumors were spreading like wildfire in the canyon pass:
The Lady of the Marquis's Mansion spent a fortune to have someone in Jiangnan buy back the most beautiful and slender woman in Qinhuai, and this time she took her to Tongtian Pass.
The second young master of the Marquis's mansion, who was usually indifferent to women, stared at the beauty for three days without letting a word of it out.
If it weren't for the fact that the second young master of the Marquis's mansion insisted on bringing a beauty to provide support, and the deputy general hadn't inadvertently seen it, no one would have known.
Immediately, someone else spread the word:
A slender woman from Jiangnan, with a face like a fairy, her eyebrows naturally green and her lips naturally red.
She had large breasts and a wide bottom, but her waist was as thin as an ant's.
Even her voice was melodious and captivating, and her pipa playing was masterful.
The pass was impassable after a long siege, and in ancient times, people would play the zither to boost morale.
This time, the marshal had the stunning beauty of the second son of the Marquis's family play the pipa for the army to boost morale.
Shuwu heard the rumors in the city and felt a strong urge to join in.
His advisors advised that this was just a baseless rumor, which was exactly what Wuzhu was hesitating about.
Hearing that the soldiers of Dahao outside the city had started shouting again, he said that the entire army was indignant this time.
At this moment, Mu Huaisheng, dressed in a light silk blouse and holding a pipa, sat on the roof of the carriage, trying to calm his nervousness.
Thinking of Li Rongchuan's late-night visit yesterday, she gently embraced him.
The large, calloused hands gently caressed Huai Sheng's small hands.
After hesitating for a long time, he gently kissed Huai Sheng's forehead and whispered firmly in her ear:
"Huaisheng, don't worry, I'm here!"
Mu Huaisheng forgot about being reserved and instinctively hugged him back.
Zhenniang smiled and turned around to stand guard outside the tent.
After hugging for a long time, Li Rongchuan finally let go, both of them feeling a mix of excitement and shyness.
Mu Huaisheng's face was flushed:
Silence speaks louder than words.
Li Rongchuan's slightly tanned face flushed red as he tapped Mu Huaisheng's nose and left with a remark:
"My Huaisheng, just remember my words!"
Li Rongchuan, somewhat shy, walked out of the tent and went back without looking back.
Mu Huaisheng suppressed his sweetness, took a few deep breaths, and prepared to cooperate with the plan.
When they saw that the army of Da Hao was coming, the strategists all advised Shu Wu to observe from the city tower first.
Sure enough, a large army was seen below the city wall, and the crowd was filled with righteous indignation.
From behind the army, a horse-drawn carriage could be seen approaching.
The carriage was parked on a high place, with a small four-cornered pavilion built on the roof, its four sides draped with light gauze.
Inside the light gauze curtain, a beautiful woman with a graceful figure could be vaguely seen sitting.
For a moment, the battlefield seemed to fall silent.
A slight movement could be seen within the light gauze curtain.
The pipa music, sometimes gentle and sometimes magnificent, traveled through the empty battlefield and reached the ears of the people on the city wall.
Shu Wu stared blankly for a moment.
Immediately recalling the rumors he had heard, his blood boiled and he was ready to open the city gates and fight!
Those around were also stunned by the sudden appearance of the beautiful pipa player, and for a moment forgot to persuade Shu Wu.
Shuwu mounted his horse, rode the Ferghana steed, and opened the city gate to go out.
When Da Hao's soldiers saw that Shu Wu had indeed come out, they immediately beat their war drums, which were accompanied by the sound of a pipa.
The war drums are the signal; the two generals in the city should begin their operation.
Those outside the city did not linger in battle, fighting and retreating simultaneously.
Nashuwu spurred his horse and charged into the Great Hao army, heading straight for the carriage, unstoppable.
When they were about halfway in, a gust of wind rose and lifted the light gauze curtains of the carriage.
Although I couldn't see her clearly yet, the person sitting there in the haze seemed to be a beauty just like the one in the rumors!
At that moment, all Mu Huaisheng could see was an exceptionally tall man in armor charging towards him with unstoppable momentum.
His physique is like that of a modern foreign basketball player.
Mu Huaisheng's first reaction:
We absolutely cannot let this slip up!
She quickly suppressed her panic, turned the pipa around, and used it to partially cover her face.
When the wind rose, Shu Wu raised his eyes and swept over.
Indeed, a beautiful woman, half-concealing her face while playing the pipa, stirred something in Shu Wu's heart.
Her figure was indeed as beautiful as rumored, and her face was obscured.
Her eyes held a mixture of tenderness, panic, and unwavering determination.
What extraordinary eyes! They're truly unique!
In the brief moment of Shu Wu's daze, three generals suddenly rushed out from the ranks.
They were all skilled in martial arts and managed to defeat him, forcing him to turn his horse around.
It's definitely impossible to go any further.
The battle started with shouts at noon and dragged on until dusk.
The Great Hao army did not linger in battle and sounded the drums to retreat.
Having gained no advantage, Shuwu retreated back into the city.
The two generals in the city, leading several dozen men, also went through a fierce battle.
They finally rescued the several generals who had been captured earlier.
When Mu Huaisheng returned home, he washed off his makeup.
He quickly changed into men's clothing and joined the team treating the wounded.
