Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Be My Woman!
Zhan Lan entered with grace, handing Mu Yan a jar of ointment and said, "Here, you can have your subordinates apply this for you when you change your dressing."
Mu Yan was stunned, feeling a bit annoyed inside. Zhan Lan wasn’t the least bit tempted by his body.
He had just taken off his clothes, and she showed no reaction at all, not even a sign of shyness!
And now, Zhan Lan was even suggesting that those rough men from Vermilion Bird apply ointment to his body.
Proudly, Mu Yan accepted the ointment from Zhan Lan, his cold demeanor enough to freeze her in place.
Watching Mu Yan’s retreating figure, Zhan Lan spread her hands and said, "What’s up with him now?"
She offers Mu Yan ointment and he gives her attitude in return, her good intentions misappreciated!
Zhan Lan sneered coldly, carrying bandages and ointment, she walked out of the storage room and descended the watchtower.
...
After reorganizing their forces, the next morning, the Western Rong army launched a full-scale attack.
The two armies clashed fiercely at Fengyu Pass.
Beicang and the enemy’s Main General Asi Han fought to the death.
Zhan Lan remained nearby, seizing every opportunity to protect her father, not daring to let her guard down.
Asi Han was extremely tall, with a sturdy build and muscles hard as rocks.
Even with his imposing physique, his real strength lay in his cunning strategies and bravery in battle, making him the enemy’s most formidable force.
In her previous life, her grandfather Zhan Xinzhang had lost an arm to this man!
Beicang and Asi Han had already fought for hundreds of rounds and were still evenly matched.
Zhan Lan felt her father truly deserved to be Nanjin’s strongest general!
If it were a matter of combat strength, even she in her previous life might not have been a match for her father.
But still, her father was too straightforward.
Asi Han was a cunning and sly person; he wouldn’t just wear down in battle with her father like this!
Zhan Lan felt a twitch in her right eyelid. 𝚗o𝚟pub.𝚌𝚘𝚖
She galloped forward on her horse with a spear in hand, cutting down Western Rong soldiers, drawing closer to her father.
Beicang and Asi Han had already fought a hundred rounds, both their strengths greatly diminished.
Suddenly, Asi Han stopped engaging in combat, turned his horse around, and yelled back to his Deputy General, "Kill!"
In the blink of an eye, three Western Rong Deputy Generals all charged towards Beicang.
Zhan Lan spurred her horse into a gallop, arriving next to Beicang.
Beicang’s eyes turned frosty as he glared at Asi Han and cursed, "Asi Han, didn’t we agree to a one-on-one fight? You Western Rong dogs have no honor!"
Asi Han laughed behind his three Deputy Generals, "General Zhan, you’re just too inflexible!"
Three years ago, they had made a pact to duel one-on-one.
Beicang had been honing his skills every day since, awaiting this decisive battle.
Unexpectedly, Asi Han turned out to be such a scoundrel, waiting until he was running out of strength to call his three Deputy Generals to take on Beicang!
"General, he’s a lowlife, we don’t need to play by any rules!" Zhan Lan said to Beicang, turning to his side.
Beicang protected Zhan Lan with his spear and said, "Step back."
He didn’t want Zhan Lan on the battlefield; every time he had someone watch her, it was futile!
She had entered the battlefield again!
Zhan Lan circled around Beicang’s spear, stepping in front of him, and shouted to the five men from Long Kong behind her, "Fall in!"
Behind her appeared five men in armor, riding black horses.
Previously, Zhan Lan had always concealed the true strength of Long Kong’s men, but now was the time to employ their skills.
The five from Long Kong specialized in assassination and hidden weapons.
Even using despicable means, I must protect my father today and not let Asi Han, the one who cut off my grandfather’s arm, get away!
"Kill!" Asi Han didn’t take Zhan Lan seriously at all.
He taunted, "General Zhan, how come you need a little girl who’s still wet behind the ears to protect you!"
Zhan Beicang narrowed his eyes; he was infuriated by Asi Han!
Zhan Beicang roared at Zhan Lan: "Go back! This is a military order, anyone who disobeys will suffer thirty military canings!"
Zhan Lan slightly smiled, "General, I’ll take the thirty military canings!"
As her words fell, Zhan Lan led five men to charge towards Asi Han.
Asi Han, who had just engaged in a fierce battle with Zhan Beicang, didn’t take the oncoming young girl seriously at all.
Zhan Lan raised her spear, pointed it at Asi Han, and challenged, "Asi Han, do you dare to fight me to the death?"
Asi Han was amused by Zhan Lan’s words, looking at her sinisterly and said, "Little girl, your temperament doesn’t seem like that of a Nanjin woman, more like our Western Rong women! Fine, I admire your courage, if you lose, serve me as my woman!"
The Western Rong soldiers burst into laughter.
Hearing Asi Han’s lewd words, Zhan Beicang speared a Western Rong deputy general to death, flinging his body away, and bellowed, "Asi Han, you are shameless!"
Zhan Lan didn’t care in the slightest about what Asi Han had said.
Today, she would avenge her grandfather!
The fierce wind howled beside Zhan Lan’s ears, and when their weapons collided, silver sparks exploded!
Zhan Lan’s wrists trembled; Asi Han’s long spear sent a numbness through her arms.
After ten rounds, Zhan Lan was starting to struggle.
Zhan Lan, holding the spear in her right hand, managed to suppress Asi Han’s long spear, but was on the verge of losing control.
Asi Han laughed wildly, "Haha, little beauty, I didn’t realize how gorgeous you are up close! Become my woman, Asi Han!"
"Then you just wait!" Zhan Lan hooked the corner of her lips, suddenly drawing the soft sword from her waist with her left hand, intending to stab him in the heart. Asi Han dodged, and with a feint from Zhan Lan, in a flash, she used her left hand to chop off Asi Han’s right arm.
Blood spurted from Asi Han’s wound, and his long spear clattered to the ground.
"Ah!" Asi Han roared, kicking Zhan Lan’s spear out of her hand and punching her off her horse.
Zhan Lan, clutching her shoulder in pain, turned and fled on the ground.
As expected, Asi Han was formidable; even with the arm that wielded the long spear chopped off, the strength in his left arm was still shockingly immense!
"General!" The Western Rong soldiers were horrified, as Asi Han had one of his arms chopped off by a little girl!
Zhan Lan turned her horse and retreated; Long Kong and the other four picked up Asi Han’s severed arm with their spears and tossed it into the fire, facing head-on the charging Western Rong army.
"Kill them, kill them!" Asi Han screamed in despair as he watched his own arm burn to a crisp in the fire.
Asi Han was filled with regret; he had underestimated his opponent!
Because Zhan Lan was a woman, he had underestimated her, or else he wouldn’t have lost an arm!
Right when Asi Han’s arm was chopped, Zhan Beicang had completely overwhelmed two Western Rong deputy generals!
With two thrusts sending the men to the afterlife, Zhan Beicang bellowed, "For Nanjin, kill!"
Asi Han, seeing Zhan Lan return to Zhan Beicang’s side, finally understood that he had been duped!
He had fallen for Zhan Beicang and the young girl’s trick!
The two were putting on a play right in front of him!
A sinister premonition made him break out in a cold sweat; the two had been deliberately stalling for time to deceive him!
"Quick! Back to the camp!" Asi Han commanded the Western Rong army urgently.
The Western Rong’s messengers immediately sounded the cowhorn, "Quick, retreat to the camp!"
In an instant, the Western Rong army began to withdraw, giving up the battle against the Zhan Family Army.
Zhan Beicang watched the deplorable retreat of the Western Rong army, issuing a military order, "Pursue!"
In an instant, the drums on the Fengyu Pass city wall boomed, as the Zhan Family Army, with the force of thunder, charged after the retreating Western Rong army.
