Chapter 230 A Thousand Beauties Grieve (Part 1)
At the turn of the year, a series of heavy, loud bangs jolted everyone awake from their "sweet dreams."
Before the farmers, who were just about to go out to work, could react, they saw the loosened pebbles and clods of earth streak across the morning light like shooting stars, and then fall one by one.
"boom!"
"Bang Bang Bang!!!"
There was no time to call for help; the falling rocks and clods of earth destroyed houses and farmland.
After hundreds more earth-shattering and mountain-crashing sounds, the mountain that had blocked outsiders from entering "Peach Blossom Spring" was forcibly smashed open to create a flat road.
After the heavy rain, the soil loosens, which is much more effective than simply opening up an exit.
However, because the gravel and soil were still falling, Song Zhaohe was not in a hurry to attack.
He glanced at the catapult next to him and then returned to camp to rest.
By the time Wang Qingyan saw the billowing dust rising from the opposite bank, it was already three-quarters past Chen Shi (7:45 AM).
Although the shockwaves from the boulder did not affect the island, he could tell from the several plumes of dust rising from the opposite shore that the situation was indeed dire.
But what does this have to do with him?
They were a batch of failed "defective products" to begin with; their ability to survive is a testament to their skill.
If they die, they can only blame their own bad luck.
At five quarters past Chen hour, Baili Ce had just woken up in bed when Wang Qingyan entered.
"Why didn't you sleep a little longer today?" After she finished washing up, Wang Qingyan began to comb her hair, and the hairpins and hair ornaments were still his favorite sky blue and jade white.
He said, "I had a good night's sleep, so naturally I got up early."
Actual: I was exhausted yesterday, but surprisingly I didn't have insomnia.
"Then let's eat."
"Um"
Perhaps because he had no one to accompany him before, and Wang Qingyan looked down on others, he is now very keen on having meals with her.
No matter how late Baili Ce got up, he would wait for her to get up together.
Would you like to go for a walk on the island today?
Without even thinking, the first thing that comes to mind is, "I don't want to."
He has never let her leave the manor since she came here. Even when he was not around, he would have someone keep an eye on her. Why would he suddenly be so kind?
It's a trap, definitely a trap!
"Then let's take a stroll around the manor," Wang Qingyan said, quite satisfied with her answer.
See, she knows it.
After finishing their meal, they went for a walk in the bamboo forest.
I also got a few sections of bamboo about the thickness of a calligraphy brush to make "bamboo stick figures" and played war games, immersing myself in the experience of conquering battlefields and fighting to the death.
Although it's a children's version.
But Wang Qingyan probably forgot what childhood was like long ago; he can still enjoy these kinds of children's games immensely.
Unfortunately, due to improper operation, he was killed by Baili Ce every time he played more than thirty games.
"Snap!" On the last occasion, he even broke the hemp rope controlling the bamboo figure.
A splintered bamboo branch bounced off and hit Baili Ce's face. "Ouch..."
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..." He hurriedly blew on her skin and rubbed her hands, his every movement filled with tenderness.
But as he continued to massage her, he became a little annoyed with her. "Can't you be a little more lenient with me?"
Baili Ce, who was nearly hit in the eye by the slingshot, said, "No."
You've bullied me like this, and you still want to let me have my way?!
"Heh," Wang Qingyan paused, then gave a self-deprecating laugh.
Then, suddenly becoming enthusiastic, he pulled the rope again, folded it into multiple strands, and said, "Let's try again."
"it is good"
Then Wang Qingyan lost more than ten more games.
He completely...
In his words, "I've made up for all the battles I've never lost in my life by fighting for you."
Perhaps because he's lost so much, he's become less bothered by it; he's not as excited as he was when he first started playing.
But Baili Ce was very happy.
She had never been so glorious in her entire life.
Indeed, the afterglow of the setting sun is the most dazzling!
but--
Suppress your smile and return to reality.
"I'm going back for my afternoon nap."
Someone who can't stand losing like him would never let her win so easily.
......
At 1:45 PM, Baili Ce had just finished his afternoon nap when he discovered that Wang Qingyan was gone.
Not only that, she woke up in a completely unfamiliar room.
Touching her hair, she realized he had taken all the hairpins.
I got up to open the door, but it was locked.
Call someone—
Nobody outside paid any attention to her.
They're probably all dead.
Climb out the window...
Unfortunately, there are no windows in this place.
Enraged, he kicked the door... Good heavens, he almost broke his leg.
Looking back at the table, besides the pair of bamboo figures that had fought in the morning, there were some snacks and dried fruits, a soft-shelled water jug, and a few books.
There wasn't much food; it would only last for two or three meals.
It's obvious that if he doesn't come back, he'll starve her to death.
Can she endure this injustice?
Without a hairpin or porcelain shard, I'll bang my head against the wall!
"..." The door opened before I could even break down.
Suddenly, something darted out and lifted her up...
After being held up for fifteen minutes, and after Baili Ce repeatedly promised that she would not commit suicide, this "thing" finally put her down.
That bastard Wang Qingyan, even in this situation, he still wants to keep her trapped.
Unfortunately, she still had a way... When Baili Ce saw Wuming's face, he was suddenly stunned.
For a moment, even the action of pulling the gold thread from his belt stopped.
"..." She felt like she had seen him somewhere before.
Wuming tilted his head blankly, his eyes devoid of any light. "Master said, Madam, please take good care of yourself."
"Otherwise, kill."
Wuming pointed behind him—
On the other side of the door, Lady Sun was locked in the secret room opposite her, looking at her with pleading eyes.
......
"Pfft..." At 7:45 PM, five thousand soldiers began to sweep the road and finish off the villagers at the same time.
Song Zhaohe sat on high ground, ready to launch an attack as soon as Wang Qingyan showed himself.
In front of him were soldiers assembling repeating crossbows. The bases were the same ones used for the catapults, made with mortise and tenon joints, which made them easy to disassemble and move, and also allowed them to be assembled into a sturdy whole.
This is the same kind of weapon that He Jinzhan used when he attacked Sanchengzhai.
As long as you are familiar with the assembly sequence of each component and have the right manpower, you can use siege equipment wherever you want.
But looking at the white mist over the sea, Song Zhaohe was still somewhat worried, what if Wang Qingyan didn't show up...
"Lord Song, he's appeared!" Just as he was thinking this, the adjutant beside him suddenly became excited.
Following the direction the deputy general pointed, Song Zhaohe indeed saw a dark figure emerge from the white mist.
Following behind were six large ships lined up behind his ship, each one filled with menacing Gu guards.
Song Zhaohe stepped forward, fully alert. "Ready!"
"All troops on alert!" the deputy general immediately relayed the order.
After giving the order, seeing that Song Zhaohe still hadn't made a move, the deputy general couldn't help but panic, "General?"
"No rush," Song Zhaohe appeared calm on the surface, but his hands were actually trembling.
All I could do was keep telling myself, "Don't rush, don't rush, just a little bit more, almost there, almost there..."
Once the ships were within range of the repeating crossbows, he ordered the soldiers and his lieutenant to step aside, and personally operated the crossbows, setting up multiple rows of long arrows to aim at Wang Qingyan, who was about to land.
Wang Qingyan was surprised to see Song Zhaohe under the large banner fluttering in the wind. How dare he appear in front of him?
In an instant, he had already decided how Song Zhaohe would die.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!"
The moment Wang Qingyan leaped ashore, Song Zhaohe slightly turned the steering wheel, released the spring, and the repeating crossbow bolts rained down on him!
One of the Gu guards collapsed to the ground, his face still showing excitement.
Can--
As the white mist dissipated, the termite-like monsters, their limbs twisted, rapidly attacked the army.
"What the hell is this?!"
Many of the generals, including the deputy general, were so frightened that they trembled on the spot!
"Who cares if they're ghosts or humans! Kill them!"
Seeing that it wasn't the Gu Guards who were going to fight first, Song Zhao quickly activated the trigger to quell the situation as fast as possible!
Seeing this, the others quickly calmed down and shouted, "Yes! Kill!"
"What's there to be afraid of!"
"That's more interesting!" Seeing this, Wang Qingyan's lips curved into a smile, which was both alluring and playful.
The more resistant the prey, the more fun it is to kill!
His expression changed instantly, and he brandished his longsword, slicing off a number of heads.
Behind me, the sound of puppets constantly rushing out was deafening.
Before him, a large army was locked in battle with rapidly approaching puppets.
Have you ever seen a gecko?
These puppets, pale from lack of sunlight and reeking of foul odors, moved like dark, twisting snakes, slithering close to the ground.
"Ahhh!!!" Many soldiers were intimidated before the battle even began, and their initial fierce offensive completely vanished.
"withstand!"
"Hold it all to me!"
"Anyone who dares to retreat! Kill!" The vanguard officer who charged into the enemy lines raised his sword and killed two soldiers who turned to run away on the spot.
Just as they managed to stabilize their nearly collapsed formation, even more puppets surged forward in dense swarms.
In a trance——
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The war drums on the high slope suddenly resounded through the sky.
Then, inspiring drumbeats resounded from all directions.
"kill!"
"kill!!"
"Hiss..." Amidst the deafening battle cries, the surging puppets slowed their movements in agony.
As their internal organs shattered, some puppets began to attack their companions uncontrollably, or trample each other, before fleeing...
Taking advantage of this reversal, the army once again made a powerful advance!
Unexpectedly, Wang Qingyan's smile deepened.
With a single thought, the Gu Kings on the six large ships all opened their eyes.
