General’s Gown - CH 10

Chapter 10 Yaocheng’s crazy nightmare part 4

Yan Changqing gritted his teeth. He barely supported himself up from the ground. He gasped: “It turned out to be you!”

“An eminent person has short memories. You don’t remember me, but this leg of mine recognizes you.” Da Yan patted his wooden calf with a mocking smile: “I’ve been here concealing my strength and biding my time, thinking about how to find you for revenge. But I didn’t expect that before I found you, you would come to me by yourself. How is it? For you, I deliberately grinded up the Huacan gu, which is a rare once in a hundred years gu, into fine powder and added it to the incense. No one can even notice it. How does it taste, General Yan?!”

Gu technique again!

Yan Changqing was shocked, struggling to pick up the sword, but his limbs seemed to be restrained by an invisible hot iron wire. Every movement was very painful. He fell heavily to the ground, and suddenly remembered the battle three years ago in his mind.

Three years ago, in the fierce battle with the Nanyao people, there was a Nanyao warrior. Although his military rank was not high, he was extremely fierce. It took Yan Changqing quite a few twists and turns to capture him alive. Yan Changqing thought that he was loyal and brave on the battlefield, so considered him a strong courageous person. He wanted to keep him alive. But he didn’t know that on the way, the warrior secretly released dozens of Nan Yao prisoners while the change of guards was slack. The fight between trapped beasts was either life or death. With the belief that they would die, these prisoners killed more than 20 Yan Kingdom guards in a row, and escaped for their lives. However, less than twenty miles away, they were overtaken by the cavalry led by Yan Changqing.

In the tragic fight, Yan Changqing cut off half of the warrior’s leg with a single sword, but did not kill the man. Thinking that this man would not survive long after being seriously injured, he let him go.

Unexpectedly, this person was not dead, and came to seek revenge!

It was just a few short years, but this person’s appearance had changed so much. Fierce and sinister, unlike that of the past. If it hadn’t been for the broken leg, Yan Changqing wouldn’t have recognized him right away.

But why did this person sneak into Yaocheng on the border of Yan Kingdom? How did he recognize him in disguise?

Yan Changqing’s mind flashed to the tearful girl A Li, who was dressed in a red wedding godwn last night.

Da Yan looked at Yan Changqing’s pale face, knowing that he had guessed the reason for falling into this trap. He felt very happy. He laughed a few times and said:

“Do you really think that you are an omnipotent, living Buddha who can save the suffering? What a joke! I ask you, do you really think that you saved that woman? Do you think that if woman wasn’t sold by her parents this time, she would be safe and secure? Do you think she could marry the man she wants? Let me tell you, even if she was not sold this time, there will be another time! So, tell me, do you think she would run home empty-handed and wait for the next time she is sold, or will she take the gold and silver I gave her and run away?”

Not everyone will treat the kindness of others as kindness. Once there are other choices, kindness can also be used as a bargaining chip. Although there was a reason for the incident, there was still a chill in Yan Changqing’s heart.

“You high-ranking officials being born into hereditary positions, you have never understood the suffering of the poor, common people! Thinking that a little gift from yourself is a great reward to others, I ask you, you! Why didn’t you kill me with a sword, why did you cut off my leg!”

Why?

At that time, his soldiers also did not understand what Yan Changqing did. According to military law, once an escaped prisoner was caught, he would rectify the law on the spot. But Yan Changqing was only 16 years old. He was a young man who admired soldiers who would rather die than surrender. Sweeping through the battlefield, most of what he saw were captured prisoners wagging their tails and begging for mercy, a bunch of opportunists. However, a soldier like that Nanyao fighter who would risk his life to stand and fight was rare.

With a second thought, Yan Changqing’s sharp blade that was clearly going to pierce the warrior’s waist went a few inches lower subconsciously. However, his sword was very sharp after all, and was difficult to take back. It cut off half of the warrior’s leg in one fell swoop.

He let the Nan Yao warrior go with his life, but never thought that this person would never let him go. Instead, he was actually in Yaocheng, cruelly torturing his people of Yan Kingdom!

Yan Changqing resisted the severe pain in his limbs. He gritted his teeth and said: “Maybe I should have killed you with a sword.”

Hearing this sentence, Da Yan suddenly burst out with blue veins and his face became even more hideous. He stepped forward, then ruthlessly picked up Yan Changqing’s collar. He snarled: “Then why didn’t you kill me at that time!? Why didn’t you kill me! No one forced you to let me go! Do you think that if you let me go, I would cry with gratitude to you? Like a dog wagging its tail? Let me tell you, you only touched yourself!”

Yan Changqing gasped violently, trying to say something, but couldn’t say anything. From just now, starting from his limbs, he felt a scorching iron-like heat beginning to spread over his body like a tide. It made him unable to breathe. The overwhelming heat kept hitting him, evoking desires and throbbings deep in his heart that he had never cared about before!

This Gu in him was not simple!

Da Yan, as if he could not see Yan Changqing’s strangeness, said to himself: “You were born a generals, a Wangye, while we people from humble backgrounds, even if we die on the battlefield, we are nothing more than a soldier, a chess piece. I have been fighting for so long, and finally managed to get some results, but I never thought I would meet your Black Armoured Troops!”

“I know that you are the famous Silver Masked King of H*ll, so how could we commoners who have been forcibly conscripted, fight? How could we beat your Black Armoured Troops? It didn’t matter if we couldn’t beat you. On the battlefield, I didn’t think about going back alive. I just wanted to fight to my last breath, standing and dying on the battlefield. This way my commander-in-chief can see, although I was born humble, I was also a courageous good man! Such a sacrifice would surely be able to earn compassion for my mother…”

When talking about his mother, Da Yan’s eyes suddenly flashed a gentle, nostalgic emotion, but this emotion was like a light, replaced by resentment in a flash.

“Why didn’t you kill me with your sword? Instead, you cut off my leg! You thought it was to let me go, but have you ever thought about my fate? I obviously wanted to be a hero who died in the battle. It was you who turned me into a faceless trash! Do you know what her face was when my woman saw my broken leg when I returned to my hometown?”

Da Yan laughed self-deprecatingly: “Her expression was like a motionless old cow who can’t till the ground anymore, a toothless watchdog. Oh, the women in this world are all sl*tty b*stards, d*mn it! She said she wouldn’t despise me, but after a few days, I saw her lying in bed with another men. I wanted to kill them, but at that time, no one helped me. I couldn’t even move. I could only be beaten by them and thrown away. In the wilderness, I had to fend for myself.”

“What kind of world is this? Huh? What did I do wrong to end up like this? If it weren’t for my fate, and being saved by an expert, I’m afraid my bones would have been in a jackal’s mouth long ago. My savior healed my leg, but do you know how I cured it?”

As Da Yan’s voice fell, Yan Changqing only felt the heat that contained his limbs became hotter in an instant. It scorched him like a raging fire. In an instant, he understood why Da Yan could walk like an ordinary person. But it was so painful, he couldn’t say a word.

“I swallowed a thousand gu worms alive. I used the power pulled from these gu worms to stand up. Do you know how painful that was? But I was not afraid at all. I am grateful for the taste of these Gu. Each pain reminds me not to forget to take revenge. Don’t forget to find that woman and settle accounts with you, you fake Silver Masked King of H*ll!”

It got windy. The sudden wind blew the scarlet curtain up and down, and the surroundings were extremely quiet. Yan Changqing knew that Da Yan was waiting for his answer, waiting for his righteous defense. After he was finished, he would kill him with a single sword to avenge himself.

But he couldn’t say anything.

What could he say? He had always thought that he was saving people by releasing prisoners of war. He never thought that this kind of compassion would become an invisible knife to murder?

Was he right or wrong?

Yan Changqing had no time to think again. The turbulent enthusiasm from his four limbs swept over him once again. This time, it was even more fierce. He curled up uncontrollably, trembling all over. He felt a valve deep in his body open slightly. He couldn’t bear it and pulled open the well-regulated neckline that had always been covered, and gasped for air.

Suddenly, he desperately wanted to hug someone, or be hugged by someone. Very tight, hugged very hard. Skin to skin, hot or cold.

Then.

Then…

Yan Changqing’s eyes suddenly showed the scene he had seen during the persecution by Helian Rongchuan last night. The scene that he despised at that time was now like a poisonous snake spitting out a bright red letter. It winded around his body, pulling him, tempting him…

No, no, no! Yan Changqing shook his head violently, trying to get rid of this dirty thought, but the more he resisted, the stronger this desire clamped onto him.

So hot, so thirsty!

Yan Changqing even had a faint rose red glow in the corners of his eyes. He gritted his teeth and gasped, then he heard fine groans from his throat.

This low groan, soft and magnetic, was full of pure desire and ambiguity. As soon as it came out, Yan Changqing was shocked. He had never thought that he could make such a sound.

Shameless!

Yan Changqing struggled to raise his hand and slap himself severely.

Da Yan sneered, squatted down, and looked at Yan Changqing’s unwillingness to give in: “It seems that the role of this Huacan Gu has already begun to play. Can General Yan speak about how it feels to be in heat in front of the enemy?”
