Chapter 117: Victory

King Wuheng chased Yu Shaoqing into the forest.

They had long set up traps in the forest, but they had still underestimated King Wu Heng’s strength. This younger brother of Xiongnu Khan did not rise to the position of commander-in-chief step by step because of his bloodline. His courage, strategy, and even martial arts were all impressive.

His only weakness was probably his hatred for Xiao Yan. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have personally entered the mountains to pursue General Xiao, nor would he have been so impatient when he saw “General Xiao”.

“Xiao! Come out!” King Wuheng raised his scimitar and roared in broken Chinese. “I must defeat you today! I want you to know that I, Wuheng Shuofang, am the hero on the battlefield!”

Yu Shaoqing sat behind a hidden tree, his back against the cold tree as he tried his best to hide his aura. He felt a faint pain in his chest. He reached out to touch it and found a hand full of blood. He was injured due to the stray arrow that had been shot when he buried General Xiao. He did not let anyone discover it.

Yu Shaoqing endured the pain in his chest and gripped the crossbow in his hand tightly.

King Wuheng’s strength was too powerful. The heavily injured Yu Shaoqing did not have the confidence to defeat him. Yu Shaoqing was waiting for an opportunity to defeat the enemy in one move.

Soon, the opportunity came.

There was a sparse commotion from behind the trees to the east.

“Let’s see where you can run this time!” King Wuheng circulated his internal energy and slashed fiercely at the bushes! All his attention was placed behind the bushes. He did not expect someone to ambush him from behind.

Yu Shaoqing seized the opportunity and raised the crossbow in his hand. He aimed it in King Wuheng’s direction and pulled the trigger without hesitation!

Five arrows were fired at the same time!

King Wuheng’s saber had already landed on the bushes, but he suddenly felt a chill on his back. His ears moved, and he changed his saber technique in time. He turned around and slashed the sharp arrow, but in the end, he missed and was shot in the chest.

Yu Shaoqing didn’t give him a chance to catch his breath. He raised his sword and attacked!

Yu Shaoqing didn’t have any poison in his hand. The arrowhead was smeared with numbing powder. Although the numbing powder couldn’t take a person’s life, it could make them feel light-headed and fall asleep for a short period of time.

There were many injured soldiers, and the numbing powder left behind by General Xiao was a very precious thing. However, in order to defeat King Wuheng, Yu Shaoqing had applied double the dosage.

If it were anyone else, they would have fallen to the ground and not been able to get up. However, King Wuheng actually had the strength to swing his saber to block.

King Wuheng knocked off Yu Shaoqing’s sword, and Yu Shaoqing also kicked off his scimitar.

“You… you’re not Xiao Yan!” King Wuheng saw Yu Shaoqing’s face clearly. “Why are you pretending to be him?”

“Of course it’s to lure you out… and kill you!” Yu Shaoqing said without changing his expression.

“You Han… are all… cunning!” He wanted to say that he was a wily old fox, but unfortunately, his Chinese wasn’t proficient. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He pushed Yu Shaoqing into the snow.

However, after rolling a few times, Yu Shaoqing pressed him into the snow. Yu Shaoqing rode on him and pulled out the dagger from his leather boots.

King Wuheng hurriedly grabbed Yu Shaoqing’s hand.

To have such divine power even after being hit by the numbing powder, how could the freak survive General Xiao’s saber!

Of course, Yu Shaoqing could not use his full strength. His wound had completely split open, and blood seeped through the gauze and armor, dripping onto King Wuheng’s body.

When King Wuheng saw that he was seriously injured, his morale immediately soared. He sneered and pried his wrist apart.

At this moment, the person behind the bushes walked out.

It was Yan Congming, who had disappeared for a long time. He was the one who had been frightened by King Wuheng just now.

It had been many days since they last met, and Yan Congming had lost a lot of weight. His face was covered in stubble. The food in his hands had long been used up, and his subordinates had all been killed by stray arrows. Now, he was the only one left. He had not eaten for three days!

Yan Congming trembled as he looked at King Wuheng and Yu Shaoqing.

Yu Shaoqing glanced at the scimitar and sword on the ground and said angrily, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and kill him!”

The dignified fifth-grade General Gui De was actually shouted at by a centurion. Yan Congming was already scared silly. He did not feel that something was wrong at all and only picked up Yu Shaoqing’s sword with trembling hands.

“Attack!” Yu Shaoqing shouted. He had lost too much blood and was about to collapse.

“I recognize you!” Wuheng said. “The General Gui De appointed by the Great Zhou Emperor.”

“How… how did you recognize me?” Yan Congming asked in surprise.

King Wuheng said, “I heard about you and have seen your portrait. You should understand that you can’t kill me. Even if I’m hit by a sword, I have a way to make you die before me! If you don’t believe me, come closer and try!”

Yan Congming was instantly frightened.

Yu Shaoqing said coldly, “Don’t listen to his nonsense! I’ve already suppressed his limbs. How can he hurt you?”

“Oh, oh, oh…” Yan Congming nodded in realization and took a few steps forward courageously.

When King Wuheng’s plan failed, he raised another one. “Why don’t we make a deal? If you kill this man, I’ll let you go! Since the Great Zhou Emperor will appoint you as General Gui De, our king can appoint you as a Grand Marshal too! I swear in the name of the Xiongnu Royal Court that I won’t lie to you!”

“Grand… Grand Marshal?” Yan Congming blinked.

King Wuheng patiently seduced him. “Yes, a general even bigger than Xiao Yan. Are you interested?”

“You want me to commit treason?” Yan Congming was stunned.

King Wuheng said, “I remember that you Hans have a saying: ‘A bird chooses a tree to bully.'”

“A good bird chooses a tree to roost on,” Yan Congming corrected.

King Wuheng said, “It’s the same thing! As you can see, our Xiongnu will definitely win this battle. As long as you’re willing to submit, I guarantee that you’ll enjoy endless glory and wealth till your next life!”

Yan Congming walked over with his sword. He gritted his teeth and stabbed down!

“You…” King Wuheng widened his eyes in disbelief.

Yan Congming thrust his hands forward and stabbed the sword deeper. “Tempting me to commit treason? Go to hell!”

King Wuheng spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed with his eyes rolled back.

Yu Shaoqing heaved a sigh of relief.

Yan Congming was usually a jerk, but he actually resisted the temptation at the critical moment.

Yan Congming kicked King Wuheng’s corpse. “Hmph! When my daughter becomes the Princess Consort Yan, I’ll be a relative of the royal family. Who f*cking cares about a general like you?!”

Yu Shaoqing : “…”

At this moment, the “dead” King Wuheng suddenly opened his eyes, snatched the sword from Yan Congming’s hand, and stabbed it fiercely at Yu Shaoqing!

This scene happened too quickly. No one could react in time. The arrow pierced through Yu Shaoqing’s armor, tore through his clothes, and stabbed into his chest.

Clank! Something blocked the end of the sword.

King Wuheng was stunned.

Yu Shaoqing kicked King Wuheng away and threw out the dagger in his hand, nailing King Wuheng to the tree. King Wuheng tilted his head and completely stopped breathing.

Yan Congming was so scared that he almost peed his pants. “Faking his death?! Yu, are you… are you alright?”

Yu Shaoqing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, took out a red amulet, and took out the jade inside. This jade had saved him many times. He did not know what kind of material it was, but it was invulnerable and harder than steel.

“What?” Yan Congming came over to take a look, but he only saw a stone that looked like jade but was not. There was a ball of green flames engraved on the stone. “Where did you pick it up?”

Yu Shaoqing treasured the jade and placed it back on his chest. “Someone gave it to me.”
