Chapter 38 Bonfire Party
At this time, the sound of hurried horse hooves came from afar.
Situ Chong rode his horse forward and stopped nearly a hundred meters away from Young Master Nan. He said, "I am the King Sheng of Tianlan Kingdom. If the Second Prince chooses to admit defeat and surrender, he will stay here as a hostage." After saying this, he used his internal strength, opened his right hand and grabbed back. The powerful force sucked Young Master Nan off the horse.
The Black Evil Army behind him was shocked for a few seconds, then rushed forward regardless of everything, but was stopped by Major General Nan, "Without my order, none of you should follow."
Everyone stopped and stood there waiting.
Major General Nan was unable to move in the air, and fell to the ground a few seconds later. Situ Chong retracted his right hand, looking down at the ground with an indifferent expression, "Since you have surrendered, then I will let the Second Prince go back to the city with me. I will let him leave after receiving satisfactory compensation."
Major General Nan slowly stood up, raised his head and said, "Okay, I will go back with King Sheng as a hostage. I hope King Sheng will agree to my request and allow the Black Evil Army to take away the body of King Lingnan and the head of General Rong."
Situ Chong raised his right hand and said, "Okay, I agree."
Major General Nan cupped his hands in thanks, then turned around and looked at the Black Evil Army not far away, and ordered loudly, "Take back the corpse of King Lingnan and the head of General Rong. I will stay as a hostage, and tell His Majesty to send someone to negotiate peace as soon as possible."
Deputy Zuo pushed through the crowd and walked out, "It is not appropriate for the Second Prince to do this. His Majesty will not agree. Let's do another..."
Major General Nan's expression turned serious. "I order you to leave immediately, otherwise you will be punished for violating military discipline."
The left deputy looked around, gritted his teeth, and said, "I obey your orders, young general. Now lead the Black Evil Army to retreat." He waved his right hand and ordered, "All soldiers, listen to my orders, retreat."
Tens of thousands of Black Evil Army soldiers responded in unison, "Yes, sir," and then ran behind the left deputy; six menial soldiers carried three stretchers and walked at the end of the team.
Situ Chong looked at the team walking away, "The battle is over, soldiers return to the city."
Major General Nan followed in the middle of the team, looked up at the hot air balloon in the sky, staring at the pale yellow figure, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Woman, who exactly are you?
……
In the evening of the next day, the cook camp in the Nanchui City camp was full of busy figures. Dozens of cooks gathered together to slaughter pigs and sheep, and everyone had a smile on his face.
General Zhao celebrated the victory of the war and rewarded the soldiers with a bonfire party in the center of the camp. The soldiers actively cooperated in setting up the scene and soon formed a large circle around it. The big fire pile was steaming and slowly rising flames.
As night fell, the soldiers sat around the campfire in three layers, chatting and talking. General Zhao warmly invited Situ Chong and Shangguan Wei to sit at the top seat. Situ Chong was too embarrassed to refuse, so he took Shangguan Wei's right hand and sat down together.
After everyone was seated, General Zhao stood at his seat, raised his glass with both hands, and said loudly in the direction of Situ Chong, "We were able to defeat the enemy with a smaller force in this battle. Prince Sheng and his wife have made an indispensable contribution. They are role models for us. On behalf of all the soldiers, I would like to toast you two. Cheers." As he spoke, he held up the glass with both hands and drank it all in one gulp with a heroic gesture.
Situ Chong raised his glass with a faint smile, "General Zhao, please don't be polite. I am unworthy of this honor. It is my duty to contribute to Nanchui City." He held the glass with both hands and drank it all, then put the glass back on the table.
At this time, General Li stood up, holding the wine glass in his right hand, "Your Highness Prince Sheng, don't be modest. Your Highness possesses extraordinary military strategies and uses troops like a god, which impresses me greatly. Princess Sheng is a rare skilled craftsman in the world. The weapons she designed are exquisite. Prince Sheng and his wife really impress me. I'll toast you a glass. Cheers!" He held the cup with both hands and drank it all in one gulp.
Situ Chong smiled and said, "General Li is the most capable general in Tianlan Kingdom. I will give you a glass of wine in return for your praise." He raised his hand to fill a glass of wine, but just as he was about to touch the glass, it was snatched away by Shangguan Wei beside him.
"Haha! My mouth is dry, General Li, I will offer you a glass of wine on behalf of my prince." He raised the glass and drank it with a smile. After finishing it, he smacked his lips and said, "Good, it is really good wine, fragrant and mellow, without a trace of bitterness. It must have been aged for at least three years."
General Li gave a thumbs up and said, "Princess Sheng is a good drinker, just as good as any man."
General Zhao laughed heartily, "Haha! Princess Sheng has a good eye and is an expert on wine. I have kept this wine for five years and have been reluctant to drink it, just waiting to open the jar today."
"Hehe! I am blessed with a good appetite. I love good wine the most."
Shangguan Wei poured another glass after she finished speaking. Just as she was about to raise the glass to her mouth, Situ Chong stopped her and said, "Madam, please don't drink too much. This is a strong liquor with a strong aftereffect."
Zheng Wenjin on the side raised his glass, "Cousin, we are happy today, so let me and my sister drink as much as we want. Even if we get drunk, you are still here, right? I'd like to offer you a drink, cheers." He smiled and drank it all in one gulp, then made a gesture of invitation.
"Well, happy day, having a drink with my cousin."
The wife-protecting maniac came online. Situ Chong snatched the wine glass from Shangguan Wei's hand, drank it, and put the wine pot beside him. He squinted at Zheng Wenjin and said, "If you want to drink, drink with me. My wife is too weak to drink."
Hearing this, Zheng Wenjin was speechless and looked at Situ Chong with an expression as if he had seen a ghost. "Are you sure what you said is human? With your sister-in-law's fighting ability, I can guarantee that she will not drink a thousand cups..."
Before he could even utter the word "drunk", he felt a chill coming over him. His body began to shiver with cold and he tactfully shut his mouth.
Mom, you can’t afford to offend her. I really can’t afford to offend her. He is definitely a crazy man who protects his wife.
"Cousin, are you sure you want to drink more?"
Zheng Wenjin waved his hands quickly, "No, no, no, this wine is strong and makes me dizzy. I can't handle it."
"that's fine."
Shangguan Wei had no wine to drink, and she stared at others drinking, drooling with envy. Seeing this, Situ Chong leaned close to her ear and said in a low voice, "Madam, if you want to drink, I will accompany you to drink until dawn when we return to the tent."
"Oh! Are you serious? Then it's a deal. I want to drink enough, otherwise it will be too boring."
"Yes, what my husband said is true."
"We have a deal. You are not allowed to lie to me or stop me from drinking. Otherwise, I will punish you by making you sleep outside."
"Okay, I promise to let you drink enough."
Shangguan Wei smiled with her eyebrows curved, "Husband, pick some food for me. I want beef and the chicken drumstick."
"Okay, give them all to Madam. What else do you want to eat?"
"That, that, I want to try both."
"Yeah, both."
In the following activities, Situ Chong acted like a good husband, feeding the baby, wiping her mouth and massaging her. He was so gentle and attentive that everyone was impressed, especially the severe sting to Zheng Wenjin's eyes.
Oh my god! My cousin who always kept women at a distance has now become a wife slave. I hope this day won’t come to me. It’s too scary to watch. Help me…
The bonfire party was coming to an end. Situ Chong didn't say a word and quietly left his seat holding the drowsy Shangguan Wei. General Zhao and General Li were tactful enough not to stop them, but just watched them walk away silently.
