From a small soldier in the frontier army, an immortal god of war was born

Chapter 107: Nüba haunts; holds Nanyang hostage to demand Han Fei

The sudden sound instantly aroused Wu Fengdeng, and he subconsciously clenched the red glass gun.

Female demon!

Damn it, why is this old witch so haunting?

I clearly chose a place that was very close to Zhang Ping, so how could she dare to come over?

Just when Wu Fengdeng was on high alert, there was no movement around him. He looked around but didn't see anything strange.

"Sir, you are..."

Qingdai was also confused when she saw him looking like a frightened bird.

"Did you hear anyone talking just now?"

"what?"

She asked doubtfully, "Really? It seems there is no one else here except us."

Wu Fengdeng breathed heavily, then he frowned, put down the red glass gun, sat on the edge of the bed and fell into deep thought.

Could it be that I was hallucinating?

Most likely, I nearly lost my life at the hands of the old witch yesterday. Now that I have calmed down, it is understandable that I have occasional hallucinations.

She doesn't even dare to come here!
Wu Fengdeng came to his senses and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master Wu, are you too tired?"

Qingdai leaned over with concern and felt his pulse, then said, "Your pulse is a little chaotic, probably due to fatigue."

"Maybe."

Wu Fengdeng rubbed his brows, raised his head to look at the pretty face in front of him, and a nameless evil fire rose up, urging him to hold her in his arms.

"Uh, sir, the curtain hasn't been closed yet!"

"Why is it so hot?!!"

……

Wu Fengdeng didn't know why he was so restless tonight. He just felt as if he had taken an aphrodisiac and his whole body was burning hot, and he urgently needed to vent.

The simple wooden bed creaked, and a pair of white jade arms tightly hugged his back.

Wu Fengdeng's brain was almost losing its mind at this time. His eyes were wandering and he felt that everything in front of him was shaking and blurry, and his ears were buzzing.

This confusion lasted for a long time, so much so that he had no idea how much time had passed. Only when they reached paradise together did his ears gradually become quiet and his breathing became as strong as that of a bull.

"My son~"

In this silence, a lazy voice sounded.

Wu Fengdeng subconsciously lowered his head, only to see Nüba lying beneath him, biting her red lips lightly, her pair of alluring phoenix eyes.

Ah!
He was suddenly startled and stepped back violently.

Boom!
In panic, he hit his head heavily on the wooden stake.

"Hey! What happened to you, young master?"

Qingdai dragged her weak body forward and stared at him with wide eyes, as if she was determined to find out something.

How abnormal!
During the previous trips to Wushan in Xianyang, although Master Wu was fierce, he still exercised restraint and would stop when he reached his limit.

But just now he was just like a mad bull, pressing me without mercy, and he didn't stop even though I begged for mercy many times.

It’s like... taking medicine!

But I am a doctor and I have never given him any aphrodisiac, so how could he become like that?

Wu Fengdeng held her face in his hands, pulling and tugging, as if he didn't believe that this was her face.

"Master! Master!"

After confirming that what he saw was real and was indeed Indigo, Wu Fengdeng let go, leaned against the wooden stake, breathed heavily, and was in a trance.

"I'm hallucinating again..."

He grabbed the back of his head with both hands, his expression slightly painful.

An auditory hallucination could be considered accidental, but the direct visual hallucination just now was definitely not normal!
"Hallucination?"

"Um……"

Faced with Qingdai's confusion, Wu Fengdeng just waved his hand, stood up and put on his clothes.

"You take a rest, I'll take a breath."

After such a commotion, he could no longer remain calm, so he picked up his spear and went outside.

The stars are dim tonight and the night sky is very dark, making the lights in Nanyang City appear brighter and denser.

Because Zhang Ping ordered that civilians should not be violated, many Qin soldiers could only vent their anger in the major restaurants and brothels in Nanyang City.

Especially the latter, it was completely full, and many brothels even picked girls and sent them to the military camp.

The city is filled with the smell of indulgence and debauchery.

Wu Fengdeng walked slowly on the street, breathing in the cool night breeze.

He didn't dare to go too far away from Zhang Ping, so he just moved around. After a while, he found a place under a dense tree.

"This illusion cannot appear out of thin air. It must be some kind of evil spell cast by that old witch."

Wu Fengdeng calmed down and analyzed the matter carefully, then his eyes lit up and he suddenly remembered the pill he took from her place last night!
"At the moment, this elixir is the most likely candidate. At the time, I only thought it was used to heal wounds. It may have other effects that I don't know about. The Yin-Yang School loves to come up with these kinds of weird things!"

The strange undead old man that I met at the beginning in Guyang County of Wei State had the same feeling of the dead body as Nüba.

You still can’t eat whatever they have.

Wu Fengdeng's face was full of bitterness: "It's no use regretting now. We have to think about how to resolve it quickly. Fortunately, nothing happened. If I had hallucinations during the war, I'm afraid I would die without knowing how I died."

"Isn't it wonderful to die in a hallucination? You said, dying under the peony flowers, even as a ghost is romantic."

Nüba appeared again, squatting in front of him and smiling creepily, and reached out to touch the top of his head as if it were her own child.

"Get out!"

Wu Fengdeng knew it was an illusion, but he still raised his arm to hit it off.

"My child, you are not a good boy. How can you ask me to get out?"

"Mother, I am in your heart, liver, and stomach. Don't ever think of getting rid of me in this life!"

"So, dear child, listen to me, come to my place and enjoy yourself, and die comfortably, how wonderful!"

Nüba's voice kept echoing in his ears like some kind of spell, making him feel upset.

"It's better for you to die!"

"You old witch, you are so shameless!"

Wu Fengdeng leaned against a tree and swore, as if only this could release his inner anger.

At the same time, on the street, Guo Huan stood there stupidly, looking at Wu Fengdeng under a tree, who was talking about something with a red face and waving his hands in front of him.

buzzing~~
A few mosquitoes buzzed over and he frowned slightly and reached out to shoo them away.

"What is this kid doing, swearing at a mosquito?"

"Could it be that the fighting these days has caused him to lose control of his mind?"

Guo Huan scratched his head, then pursed his lips and walked forward.

"Wu Fengdeng!"

The latter turned his eyes slightly, and his dark pupils quickly focused.

"General Guo!"

"What are you mumbling about? There's no one here." Wu Fengdeng stood up awkwardly, rubbing his palms and smiling bitterly, "Nothing... Do you want to talk to me about something?"

"You better be okay, or I'll kill you too!"

Nüba seemed very displeased with Guo Huan's sudden appearance and glared at him with her arms folded.

Guo Huan looked at Wu Fengdeng strangely, then waved his hand and said, "It's true. General Zhang wants to see you."

"see me?"

"Well, it seems... I asked you to persuade someone. Come with me first."

Wu Fengdeng followed him to the City Lord's Mansion. All the way, Nüba followed closely, sometimes making noises, sometimes making faces and making trouble, as if she was trying her best to irritate him.

However, Wu Fengdeng had gradually calmed down by then and ignored her completely. By the time they reached the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Nüba had disappeared.

Passing through the central hall, Wu Fengdeng saw Zhang Ping, who was still wearing armor.

"General Zhang."

He looked up, then nodded and said, "Wu Fengdeng, you have made outstanding contributions in this siege. Your accumulated military merit ranks first in the entire army. You will receive your reward in a few days."

"Thank you for your appreciation, General."

"You go first."

This was said to Guo Huan and other deputy generals. After they left, Zhang Ping slowly said the main topic: "Before I set out, the king told me about you and Master Han Fei. This time, we will not hesitate to take casualties to capture Nanyang City. First, we will serve as the cornerstone of the vanguard army, and second, we will capture Han Fei."

Wu Fengdeng said thoughtfully: "Use Nanyang City?"

"good."

Guo Huan waved his hand, motioning him to sit down, and continued, "I have sent the King of Qin's order to Xinzheng to exchange Nanyang City for Master Han Fei."

"Of course, it's not easy to capture this city, and we certainly can't hand it over to others. As the saying goes, all is fair in war."

Hearing this, Wu Fengdeng saw his calm and confident look, and finally figured out everything.

No wonder Zhang Ping spared no expense in this battle and launched the most violent offensive to capture Nanyang City, just to seize the initiative in the exchange.

For South Korea, it is easy to tell which is more important, an unwelcome prince or an important border city.

In this way, Han Fei could be welcomed back to Qin according to the previous agreement, and his reputation as a treasoner could be eliminated.

After that, they can use Nanyang City as a base, and when the Qin army marches in, it is only a matter of time before the Han State is destroyed.

As for the reputation of breaking promises and being untrustworthy, it doesn't matter. As long as the fist is strong, other countries can only abuse us on the moral level forever.

"General Zhang, so the reason you summoned me here is..."

"Master Han Fei has a close confidant, the Nanyang commander Ding Teng. He once served under Bao Yuan. Although he is old, he is very knowledgeable in military tactics. It would be best if he could be used by the Qin army."

"Besides, he is Han Fei's only confidant, so he must not be killed. However, he is very suspicious, and I can't dispel his suspicion with my kind words."

"I heard that you had met him in Nanyang City, so I asked you to come and give it a try."

Zhang Ping patted Wu Fengdeng on the shoulder: "Just don't let him want to die."

If they had met before, it was only that night when they held Han Fei hostage. In addition, in this battle, Wu Fengdeng killed so many Han soldiers, so he and Ding Teng could not really be said to have any good relationship.

But since Zhang Ping said so, he had no choice but to follow him to the dungeon.

At this time, all the death row prisoners in the dungeon had been executed by Qin soldiers, and there were still blood stains on the ground that had not been washed away.

Ding Teng was imprisoned in the deepest cell near the window. The place was very clean. He sat upright with his hair and beard all white, and his eyes were bright and sharp.

"General Ding."

Hearing Wu Fengdeng's voice, he snorted coldly and said in a hoarse voice: "Boy, are you also a lobbyist sent by Zhang Ping?"

"If so, you'd better stay where you want. I will never surrender to Qin!"

Wu Fengdeng said calmly: "You think we are deceiving you, right? We are pretending to be friendly with Han Fei to lure you into surrender, but in fact it is our strategy to alienate you."

"Hasn't your Qin State always been like this? You have really used Zhang Yi's tactics to the extreme. Otherwise, how could you have survived the siege of the six countries until now?"

Ding Teng sneered. Wu Fengdeng was helpless at the stubbornness of the old man, so he had to say, "Let's not talk about the past, let's talk about the present."

"When I held Han Fei hostage, didn't you think about the clues? Where did we get the Han army's armor? Han Fei was at least in the late stage of bone strengthening. How could he be restrained by me?"

"That's Master Han Fei..."

Before Ding Teng could utter the word "careless", his voice gradually stopped and his brows, which were already furrowed with wrinkles, furrowed a little more.

Seeing him hesitate, Wu Fengdeng said again: "To be honest, it was he who gave us the idea to take Han Fei away."

"In exchange, Ying Zheng needs to give him a chance to show his talents in Qin. You have served him for many years, so you naturally understand Han Fei's persistence in his ideals. You also know that he was not appreciated for his talent in Han and suffered many setbacks."

"Considering this, do you still think we are making up lies?"

Wu Fengdeng's words hit the nail on the head and successfully pierced Ding Teng's heart.

He knew Han Fei's character very well. He had also witnessed all the patriotism and attacks from the conservatives that Han Fei had experienced since he returned from studying under the Confucian scholar Xunzi.

It was not until Han Fei was demoted to the border town of Nanyang that he devoted himself to reading and cultivation and stopped caring about state affairs. At that time, he thought that Han Fei had come to his senses and would no longer fight against Xinzheng.

But after hearing Wu Fengdeng's words, Ding Teng suddenly understood.

Han Fei is definitely not a person who goes with the crowd!

Thinking of this, his idea of ​​dying to prove his integrity and protect Han Fei's innocence gradually collapsed.

"So you will take Master Han Fei back from Xinzheng?"

Wu Fengdeng nodded slightly: "Of course, unless the King of Han doesn't want Nanyang. If that's the case, it doesn't matter. When Xinzheng is destroyed, Han Fei will also come."

Ding Teng raised his bloodshot eyes, stood up and walked to the door, staring at him word by word.

"Can you guarantee that Qin will demand Master Han Fei at any cost?!"

"I promise that the King Qin's order has been sent out."

"it is good……"

Ding Teng's waist gradually bent down, and he really staggered like an old man, sitting weakly on the edge of the bed.

After a long while, Fang said, "Old man, surrender."

The reason he insisted before was simply because he was afraid that his surrender would harm Han Fei in Xinzheng.

But now Wu Fengdeng's words finally confirmed to him that Han Fei would also join the Qin State, so Ding Teng would no longer have to worry.

It is better not to stay in Korea, a country where the aristocratic families are corrupt and treacherous people are rampant.

His concession earned him absolute courtesy from Zhang Ping and others, who treated him as a guest of honor and offered him wine to apologize according to etiquette.

When the banquet was over, Zhang Ping was already a little drunk, but he still patted Wu Fengdeng on the shoulder and laughed, "I guessed right, your words are worth a thousand words!"

"If Ding Teng commits suicide in prison tonight, I will not be able to escape the severe punishment of the king! Wu Fengdeng, you have made meritorious service to me. If you want any reward, I will pay for it out of my own pocket."

Seeing his smile, Wu Fengdeng's eyes lit up instantly, and he said hastily, "Then I will be disrespectful to refuse it!"

"To be honest, many people now see me as a thorn in their side and want to get rid of me, so I dare not stay too far away from the general, lest I be attacked and killed."

"But I can't stay by your side forever, so I dare to ask you for a way to save my life."

Zhang Ping's drunken eyes quickly cleared up: "Someone wants to kill you?"

"Yes."

"Who?"

Wu Fengdeng hesitated for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "I cannot tell you now."

Zhang Ping stared at him deeply, then nodded: "I won't ask too much about your affairs. If you don't want to talk about it, forget it."

"As for the means of saving your life you mentioned, I do have a pair of silver silk soft armor, which was given to me by my brother two years ago. Wearing it can protect me from attacks from the Hidden Qi Realm. Is it enough?"
