Before dawn the next day, Fangzheng stretched and sat up on the bed refreshed.
"Whew … I had a good sleep last night."
As he spoke, Fangzheng yawned and looked to his side. There, a girl was curled up in bed, curled up like a kitten, sleeping soundly. Seeing this scene, Fangzheng chuckled. Then, he stretched out his hand and slapped the girl's buttocks.
"Okay, it's time to get up!"
"Who is it?!"
Feeling the sudden touch, the girl jumped up in fright. She subconsciously wanted to fight back, but the next moment, she screamed and hid in the quilt again.
"Okay, little girl, it's time for you to go."
While speaking, Fangzheng threw a set of black night clothes in front of the girl. The girl, who was holding the quilt tightly to cover her body, was stunned when she saw Fangzheng's action.
"You're willing to let me go?"
"Nonsense! Why would I keep you? "
Fangzheng rolled his eyes.
"You came to assassinate me, and I took revenge on you. Then we're even. For your brother's sake, I won't take your life. Hurry up and go. There's a small path behind here that leads down. It won't be easy for you to return to the barracks with that interesting gadget in your hand. If you know that, hurry up and change your clothes and leave. You'd better not let me see you again. Otherwise, it'll be even more exciting next time. "
"You, you …!"
Hearing Fangzheng's words, the girl's face suddenly turned red.
"I'll kill you sooner or later!"
Thinking of what happened last night, the girl felt like her head was boiling. She had lived for so many years, but this was the first time she was so wantonly played with by someone. Although the girl attempted to resist in the beginning, Fangzheng's hands seemed to have magical powers. Just by caressing her body easily, the girl immediately felt weak and powerless. All she could do was be played with by Fangzheng.
To the young girl, this was a great humiliation!
If she could, she really wanted to kill this man immediately!
Unfortunately, this concubine can't do it!
"Alright, if you don't leave now, you won't be able to."
However, in the face of the girl's murderous gaze, Fangzheng did not even spare her a glance. He waved his hand, turned around, and left the bedroom. The girl stared at Fangzheng's back as he left. In the end, she gritted her teeth, turned around, and began to put on her clothes. However …
"Eh? Aren't these my clothes? "
Looking at the familiar black clothes on her, the young lady could not help but be stunned. She could still remember clearly that her clothes had been torn to shreds by Fangzheng last night when she was fighting in close combat with him. Why was she unscathed now?
Could it be that last night was just a dream and he didn't do anything to her?
Thinking of this, the girl stood up from the bed and took a few steps forward. Then, her legs went soft, and she hurriedly supported herself against the wall.
This feeling … was exactly the same as last night. How could he have done nothing!!
Beep! Beep! Beep!
A sharp whistle came from outside. Hearing this whistle, the girl immediately tensed up. Although she didn't know if it was for her, she still hurriedly put on her clothes and left the house. She quickly left through a small path in the back garden.
At dawn, the girl finally returned to the military camp. To her surprise, as soon as she entered the tent, she saw Xiangyu standing there and staring at her.
"Where did you go? Little Ying? "
Little Ying was the girl's name. When she first met Xiangyu, she only had this nickname and did not have a surname. The name Xiang Zhuang was given to her by Xiang Yu after the two of them became sworn siblings. When there were others around, the two would address each other by their names, but when they were in private, they were not so restrained.
"Ugh, I …."
The girl named Little Ying blushed when she saw Xiangyu. She hurriedly turned around and looked at the black clothes she was wearing. She knew that she could not hide it anymore, so she braced herself and answered, "I went to Hangu Pass.
"I'm going to Hangu Pass. I think if I can successfully assassinate that guy, we might be able to pass through the pass easily …."
"Idiot! You really don't want to live! "
Hearing this, Xiangyu bellowed angrily and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Are you hurt?"
"No, I'm fine."
Little Ying quickly waved her hands.
"The security there is very tight. I waited for a whole night but didn't find any good opportunities, so I came back."
The girl's words were half-true, but Xiangyu did not mind. He was happy as long as his sworn sister returned safely.
"No matter what, it's good that you came back safely. Did you find anything?"
"Ah, I did find something."
The young lady hurriedly reported what she had observed last night to Xiangyu. She hoped to use this incident to distract him, but Xiangyu was obviously a one-track mind. He was led away by the young lady without hesitation. Xiangyu frowned when he heard the girl talk about the strange things on the city wall.
"So we can't fight at night? Ugh …. As expected of Young Master Fang. I never thought of this method. "
"He only knows about these strange things!"
When the girl heard Xiangyu's lament, she immediately recalled the various poses Fangzheng had made last night. She flew into a rage out of humiliation and stomped her foot.
How did he know about those shameless actions!?!?
"Alright, there's no other way."
Xiangyu did not notice the girl's question. He pondered for a moment and made a decision.
"We'll lead the army to attack the city again. This time, we'll try to use different tactics."
"Ugh …."
As if to verify Xiangyu's words, the sound of a horn signalling the start of the battle rang out. Upon hearing the sound of the horn, the young girl jumped up hurriedly.
"I'm going too!"
"No, stay in the camp and rest today. You were busy last night and must be tired. It's time for a good rest."
"Ugh …."
The girl showed an awkward expression when she heard Xiangyu's words. Xiangyu patted her head and left the camp.
Soon, the army set off. The girl stayed in the camp, feeling bored. She tossed and turned from time to time. Logically speaking, she should have been tired and wanted to sleep after last night's torture, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried. Everything that happened last night was too exciting. It was so exciting that it was almost imprinted in his mind, and he could not forget it ….
"That bastard!"
Thinking of this, the girl gritted her teeth again and punched the table beside her.
After an unknown amount of time, a rumbling sound came from outside. Hearing this sound, the young girl hurriedly walked out of her tent and looked up. She saw the army outside the camp slowly returning to defend.
"Did we lose again?"
An ominous feeling rose in the girl's heart. Although she hoped that they could take Hangu Pass, if that was really the case, the army would have entered the pass long ago. There was no need for them to retreat.
As expected, the uneasiness in the girl's heart was soon confirmed.
"That weird weapon is really powerful."
Xiangyu returned with his face covered in dirt. His body was covered in black and white patches, but he did not look discouraged.
"We wanted to take advantage of the gap between the enemy's shots to launch an assault, but we didn't expect them to launch in turns …."
"This isn't the time to admire the enemy, Great General."
Fan Zeng couldn't help but speak up.
"If we don't find a way to break through Hangu Pass, our morale will crumble. It'll be too late for regrets then!"
"But that kind of weapon is really hard to break through …. Not to mention, there's still the earth fire …."
The Earth Fire that Xiangyu mentioned was the landmine that Fangzheng had used previously. This time, they had thought that the area they had passed through during the battle yesterday would be safe. They had attempted to ride their horses and charge forward, only to be blasted into the sky. They had no idea when Fangzheng had repaired the area.
As a result, the second attack was also futile.
Of course, breaking through Hangu Pass was no easy task. But unlike before, this time, not only was the terrain dangerous and the army strong, the enemy was using a method that they had never seen before. Under such circumstances, ordinary soldiers would definitely waver. Even the commanders of the vassal armies were at a loss as to what to do. After all, they had never seen such a powerful weapon before.
"Can we go around Hangu Pass and head to Xianyang from somewhere else?"
"Forgive me for being blunt, but since the enemy has such a weapon, they must have set it up in Xianyang City as well. If we take a detour and end up being blocked outside Xianyang City, we'll be surrounded by enemies from both sides. It's not worth it."
"Yes, but if this goes on …. those weird weapons are really giving us a headache …."
"In my opinion …."
Seeing Xiangyu and Fan Zeng in a heated discussion, the girl hesitated for a moment, but eventually walked out of the tent. After all, she wasn't good at such things, nor did she have the right to speak in such a military meeting.
But now, it seemed like that guy was really giving her brother a headache.
I have to get rid of him!
At this moment, the killing intent in the girl's heart was real.
Not only because the army was defeated again, but also because …. she wanted revenge!
Since assassination didn't work, then poison!
That's right, poison!
He might be able to train himself to have bronze skin and iron bones, but if he drank poison, he would die all the same.
Yes, that's right. Poison!
At this thought, the girl clenched her fists and ran out of the camp.
This time, I'll teach you a lesson!
