Chapter 409 A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water
Snapped!
As soon as she finished her words, she was slapped loudly on the face by Hua Duoer. The force was so strong that it seemed to shatter her dignity.
The woman in white tilted her head slightly, and five clear finger marks instantly appeared on her cheek, and bright red blood slowly flowed from the corner of her mouth...
However, instead of uttering a cry of pain, she curled up the corners of her mouth into a sneer that contained endless mockery and indomitable spirit.
"While you still have a chance to catch your breath, show off your prowess, but remember, who I am today is the reflection of who you will be tomorrow. Haha!"
Duan Tianyang raised the hidden weapon in his hand towards her and asked, "I just want to know where did this thing come from?"
He used his mental power to spy on the structure inside, and it can be said that it is very exquisite. Although this hidden weapon is not a mysterious weapon, it has as many as hundreds of parts. Even the "Weapon Dao" chapter of the Huangji Jingshi Book does not have any records of this thing.
The woman in white glanced at Duan Tianyang with contempt, and her words were clear: "Han dogs are still Han dogs after all, ignorant and stupid, just like uncivilized barbarians, don't even think about getting any information from me!"
At this moment, although she was tied up, a knife was at her throat, and her life was hanging by a thread, she still maintained her pride.
She glanced at Duan Tianyang provocatively, then closed her eyes and rested, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
Seeing this, Hua Duoer was furious. She drew her sword and shouted, "Do you really think we dare not kill you?"
The woman in white opened her eyes, a fearless light flashing in them, and sneered, "Kill, what are you waiting for? If I were afraid of death, why would I do this?"
Duan Tianyang stopped Hua Duoer's impulse. He knew very well that facing such a woman who was ready to die, conventional threats and intimidation would be useless.
He leaned over and whispered in her ear, his fingers gently sliding across her delicate shoulders, his tone carrying a hint of playfulness and threat: "Jin Gou, I won't kill you. You are so beautiful, it would be a pity to die. But I am unwilling to let you go just like that. How about you stay in my army and become a comfort to my 200,000 soldiers?"
His voice was extremely gentle, but it made the woman in white tremble involuntarily.
Duan Tianyang's lips curled up into a smile, and his palms gently fell on her shoulders, kneading them gently, with a hint of teasing in his words: "This little delicate body, even I feel a little moved when I see it..."
"You dare!" The woman in white suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes burning with anger, and her hatred pierced Duan Tianyang like a sharp blade.
The words of the woman in white made Duan Tianyang's face flash with an imperceptible strangeness...
He quickly recovered, shrugged his shoulders, and asked with an undiminished smile, "Everyone knows who I am, Duan Tianyang! Do you think I would dare?"
Just when the atmosphere was tense, Dai Zong and Miller hurried in, with serious expressions, and whispered "Brother Tian", breaking the tense atmosphere in the room.
Duan Tianyang's eyes swept over the two of them. Seeing that they looked serious, he turned to Qiu Tieyi and said, "Tieyi, take her back to the camp and keep a close watch on her. No mistakes can be made."
Qiu Tieyi responded immediately, grabbed the rope on the woman, and led her away like a puppet.
Afterwards, Duan Tianyang turned his gaze to Lu Jingyuan and Hua Duoer. The two understood what he meant and quickly cleared out the idlers in the hall.
When everything was ready, Duan Tianyang asked directly, "What's the matter?"
Dai Zong frowned and reported in a deep voice: "Brother Tian, Chief Crazy Wolf has sent urgent news. Several large tribes in the West have assembled an army of 100,000 and are rushing towards Jinchuan."
Jinchuan is only a hundred miles away from Jinguan. Their intentions are obvious. They intend to accept the request of the Jin Kingdom and come to capture Jinguan to cut off their own retreat.
Upon hearing the news, Duan Tianyang paced anxiously in the hall. Suddenly, he was so angry that he kicked the wooden table next to him, causing it to roll over. He growled through gritted teeth, "Fuck him!"
Miller, who was standing by, saw this and quickly soothed him in the foreign language: "Sir, please calm down. Although several major tribes have joined forces to send troops, they have not actually declared war on our army. They are still waiting and watching."
"They are all heading towards Jinchuan!"
"In my opinion, this move is mostly for show by the Jin people. If it is really used by the Jin people, the number of their allied forces will be more than 100,000." Miller looked solemn. As a foreigner, he knew what his people were thinking.
Duan Tianyang pondered for a moment and asked, "You mean, these tribes have not yet decided to become enemies of our Hongxing Army?"
"No, they are waiting, waiting for the situation to become clear." Miller explained, "The Western Fan are sandwiched between the boundary of the Divine Realm and the Kingdom of Jin, and they need to be cautious at every step, and this time is no exception. If our army can win a great victory in the Kingdom of Jin, they will definitely show goodwill to our army, and may even go deep into the Kingdom of Jin to help our army. On the contrary, if our army fails, they will become an obstacle, blocking our retreat, and trapping our army in the heart of the Kingdom of Jin, with no way forward or backward."
Therefore, no matter who will win the war between the Divine Realm and the Kingdom of Jin, the Western Fan tribes can cleverly stand among the winners.
Duan Tianyang half-closed his eyes and said slowly: "This war has just begun, who can guarantee that they will win? Since there is no guarantee, the Western Fan coalition is like a sword hanging behind our backs, which can strike us coldly at any time. Even if this sword is still dangling now, we must move it away as soon as possible."
Miller took a breath and asked cautiously, "Your Excellency means that we have to get rid of the 100,000 coalition troops first? But if we do this, it will be equivalent to declaring war on the entire Western Regions. Even if we win, it will attract more coalition troops. Your Excellency, you must think twice!"
Duan Tianyang curled his lips, revealing a hint of sneer, and said lightly: "To solve the problem, we don't have to fight head-on. We just need to drive them out of Jinchuan."
As they were talking, there was a sudden knock on the door, interrupting their conversation.
Lu Jingyuan walked over quickly, opened the door, and looked out. He saw two Hongxing Army soldiers standing there supporting a man who looked like he was about to fall apart.
One of the soldiers said respectfully, "General Lu, this brother said he is from the imperial army and is eager to see Lord Duan. He has urgent military information to report."
Lu Jingyuan's heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to ask a few questions, Duan Tianyang's voice came out anxiously from inside the room: "Let him in quickly!"
He hasn't heard from Yi Shuirou for many days. If he said he wasn't worried, he would be lying.
Two Hongxing soldiers carried him all the way into the hall. They saw that he opened and closed his mouth but couldn't utter a word.
Duan Tianyang waved his hand and said, "Pour him a glass of water to quench his thirst."
Lu Jingyuan responded, quickly poured a cup of tea, and fed it to the man bit by bit.
After drinking a few sips of tea, the man finally took a breath, panted for a long time, and asked weakly: "Excuse me...Excuse me, who is Mr. Duan?"
"It's me!" Duan Tianyang took a step forward, squatted down, stared at the man and asked, "Did the princess send you here?"
"No, I'm following the orders of our Corps Commander and have come here specially to ask Lord Duan to send troops." As he spoke, he tremblingly took out a military badge from his arms and handed it to Duan Tianyang with shaking hands.
Duan Tianyang took it and looked at it, and found that it was indeed the military badge of the imperial army.
"The princess was leading a large army to attack the Jinling Town of the Jin Kingdom, and they were about to win, but then the Eighth and Fourteenth Legions of the Jin Kingdom suddenly attacked and besieged us on three sides. We were defeated miserably, and the princess was injured. Now our soldiers are surrounded by the two legions of the Jin Army, and are in danger. Lord Duan, you must send troops to rescue us as soon as possible..." At the end, the man couldn't stop crying and couldn't speak clearly.
