Chapter 126 Not an inch of land will be yielded, let me give you a kiss (1)
Grand Tutor Li never expected that he would eventually embark on the journey to Yicheng in the northwest.
Inside the carriage, he and Su Dingding looked at each other in bewilderment.
He had consulted many sorcerers in the past few days, but none of them had ever heard of the sorcery of sworn brotherhood and life-and-death commitment.
Now, he can neither hit nor scold Zhang Hongzhi, let alone kill him.
He was also forced to go to the Northwest to suffer hardship and die!
Just in case, he has not only selected the best troops these past few days, but also made sure the provisions are in place.
Seeing Grand Tutor Li's gloomy face, Su Dingding coughed deliberately.
Grand Tutor Li looked at him anxiously, "Is Lord Zhang ill?"
"I feel a little uncomfortable," Su Dingding said.
Grand Tutor Li wanted to summon a doctor, but Su Dingding didn't want to delay her journey, so she asked him to serve her.
Grand Tutor Li had no choice but to serve her tea and water.
After more than ten days of bumpy travel, they finally arrived in Yicheng.
After arriving here, Su Dingding and Grand Tutor Li truly grasped the strength of the Liu Kingdom.
They had guns and cannons, and their equipment was the best. On the other hand, they had no chance of winning. Their few homemade guns were their best weapons.
Grand Tutor Li began to back down, "Brother, is this battle truly unavoidable?"
"We have no choice but to fight!" Su Dingding said with a serious expression after observing the terrain.
Today, the Northwest has lost a large amount of land, most of the soldiers have been killed or wounded, and the people have been displaced.
The Liu people were violent; they almost killed, looted, and burned everything in the territories they occupied.
This battle is difficult to fight, but if we don't fight, we will lose not only land and face, but also the dignity of our ancestors!
Killing one person is easy, but killing an entire nation is difficult!
Therefore, we can only outsmart them.
Su Dingding looked up at the sky; it seemed she would be going out to form a sworn brotherhood again tonight!
"Brother, didn't you see they have cannons?" On the way back to the camp, Grand Tutor Li became anxious.
Su Dingding, however, rallied his spirits and said, "Third brother, don't be afraid, I've decided to use my beauty to seduce you!"
"Huh?" Grand Tutor Li was taken aback.
Su Dingding patted him on the shoulder, full of confidence.
Back at the camp, Su Dingding brought Grand Tutor Li into her tent and dressed him up in women's clothing.
Grand Tutor Li was physically numb and at the mercy of others, but his heart was breaking.
He was too ashamed to face anyone and didn't even want to live anymore.
Su Dingding braided his beard into small braids and dyed them, making him look very playful and cute.
"Lord Zhang, so your honey trap is with me?" Grand Tutor Li asked.
"Grand Tutor Li, if this honey trap succeeds, you will have made a great contribution, and my second brother will surely reward you handsomely!" Su Dingding replied.
Grand Tutor Li fears he won't even see the sun rise tomorrow, let alone achieve great merit; that's utterly delusional.
After finishing his work, Su Dingding convened a tactical meeting.
The soldiers stationed in the Northwest never expected that this thin, old man would know the terrain here so well!
Although his tactics were unconventional and risky, if successful, they could completely turn the tide of the battle.
"I need assassins; once they go, they might not come back," Su Dingding warned.
"Rest assured, my lord, none of our soldiers are cowards. As long as we live, Yicheng will live; if Yicheng falls, we will fall!"
"Very good!" Su Dingding encouraged the troops, one foot on the stool and the other on the table. "We will not return to the capital until we have recovered the Northwest!"
[Host, the Lotus Cart is ready!] Gangzi reminded.
"set off!"
Su Dingding jumped down with a proud and arrogant air, striding with an air of indifference towards his family and friends.
As the soldiers watched his retreating figure, they all raised their heads.
Grand Tutor Li was placed in a lotus carriage, where the lotus petals closed to conceal him.
The group embarked on their journey to the border of Liu Kingdom.
Today is the forty-eighth birthday of General Mercas of the Liu Kingdom. They came under the guise of celebrating his birthday and giving him beautiful women, but of course, they also wanted to negotiate a settlement.
Merchas didn't take them seriously, and after searching them, he led them to their camp.
Su Dingding sighed inwardly, "Look at their weaponry and the configuration of their soldiers, no wonder they've taken over so much land in such a short time."
If it weren't for the fact that the Northwest is a strategically important and easily defensible region, it would probably have fallen long ago.
"Halt! Our general said that everyone else should wait where they are. Only Lord Zhang and the beauty are allowed to enter our headquarters!" a soldier said imposingly.
"Okay, okay." Su Dingding nodded and bowed, his body hunched over.
She gave a wink to the soldiers behind her and then walked into the enemy's headquarters.
That's right, they occupied their territory and have houses to live in.
In the grand courtyard, Mochas deliberately made the slaves, who were tied up with ropes, kneel on the ground to greet Su Dingding and humiliate her.
Moreover, Merchas' elite troops were all armed with their best guns and aimed at Su Dingding, creating a formidable deterrent.
However, Su Dingding didn't care. Instead, she walked up to him with a smile, cupped her hands and said, "General, I heard that today is your birthday. I have specially presented you with a beautiful woman to celebrate your birthday. I hope that you will be lenient and leave some land for our country."
After the translator finished speaking, Merchas gave a disdainful smile, "Then I'd like to see what kind of beauty she is?"
His idea was simple: no matter how beautiful a woman was, he would humiliate her in public. Since they had come to him willingly, none of them would go back; they would all die here!
Su Dingding walked to the lotus carriage and suddenly lit the candle wick on it.
Merchas was startled and jumped to his feet. "Bomb!"
Before they could react, the lotus-shaped carriage flashed with fire, its petals bursting open, followed by a song: "Happy 48th birthday to General Mochas, happy 49th birthday to General Mochas, happy 50th birthday to General Mochas..."
The voice was weathered and had a strange tone; in short, it made people feel uncomfortable all over.
Su Dingding clapped his hands and sang along, while giving Grand Tutor Li a meaningful look.
Grand Tutor Li was also startled by the music and stood frozen in place.
Especially seeing the scene before him, with so many guns pointed at him, he completely forgot what he had come here for.
"Hurry up and perform a dance, Grand Tutor Li, or they'll beat you to death!"
Upon hearing Su Dingding's reminder, Grand Tutor Li broke out in a cold sweat, and his stiff limbs finally began to move.
Following Su Dingding's instructions, he shook his round belly, his hands trembling as he made the movements, his head stiffly swaying from side to side. He lost his balance and fell off the lotus carriage, his head bleeding profusely.
Su Dingding was speechless. This thing was really useless!
"Happy 70th birthday, General Murchas..."
The music was still playing, but Merchas was going crazy. He charged down with a gun in hand, yelling, "This is the beauty you sent me? How dare you insult me!"
Before the translator could even finish translating, Merchas had already fired his gun.
Grand Tutor Li was so frightened that he fainted, thus dodging the bullet.
Su Dingding tilted her head, spun around, and landed in Merchas's arms.
She coiled around Merchas like a snake, her legs tightly clasped together, and her hands gripping his neck tightly!
"If the general doesn't like him, then what about me? I'm also willing to sacrifice myself for the country!"
