Chapter 129 Arrogant soldier (2)
At this time, if Chen Jin send the troop, Zhao Zimu believed that the nation where everyone was good at riding the horse and shooting, they would definitely unite and put up a resistance. And did all the soldiers of Great Liang really have the capability to fight the Xiongnu?
Zhao Zimu believed that the answer was no. The tent was a big mess. Even after spending a long time in such an environment, Zhao Zimu was still not used to this atmosphere. After bidding goodbye to Chen Jin, she went out of the big tent. Yue Qi who was outside of the tent followed her closely.
Yue Qi was different from Yue Liu’s calmness and Yue Wu’s cheerful and free-spirited character. In comparison, he was quiet and tactful. Hence, Zhao Zimu handed her affairs to Yue Liu for him to take care of and let Yue Qi follow her.
After the two walked in the direction of the barrack, Zhao Zimu suddenly stopped and laughed, “As expected, I am not a good person.”
Yue Qi stood behind her for a while and then said without expression to her, “No matter if madam is a good person or not, madam is madam. Madam is also Qiansui’s madam.”
Zhao Zimu was stunned for a moment and then smiled. Right, why was she making trouble for herself? She just had to do what she wanted to do.
Soon after, under the attention of everyone, Sun Wu led an army to attack the Xiongnu.
Different from Zhao Zimu’s disregard of the military command, Sun Wu dispatched the army justifiable this time and carried the hope of everyone. Under the fervent eyes of everyone, Sun Wu set off like a hero.
Before leaving, he smiled friendly at Zhao Zimu, but it was full of subtle provocation. Zhao Zimu smiled once at him, but her eyes were calm. Sun Wu retracted his gaze and then set off with the soldiers majestically.
Ten days later, when everyone was brimming with hope and nervously waiting for the news of Sun Wu’s victory, bad news came. The army led by Sun Wu had been completely wiped out!
Only a few people escaped and Sun Wu’s whereabouts were unknown. It was very likely that he was captured alive.
When the news came back, everyone was dumbstruck. They stared in disbelief and sternly and anxiously asked about the situation of the soldiers who had fled and returned.
However, the eyes of all the people who had ran back were dull and burst with tears because there was no other reason than that they were too weak.
Both the physique and archery skills of the Xiongnu surpassed the soldiers of Great Liang by a large margin. When the soldiers of Great Liang truly faced the Xiongnu, it would already be not bad if they could resist the Xiongnu a few times. How could they wish for a victory?
Everyone stood there blankly and looked at the person with a calm expression and a sword-shaped scar on the end of her eyebrow. Her gaze was indescribable.
That person stood there quietly and didn’t have a trace of being from this world. No one would doubt it if he said that he was the son from a great family. But if you say that he was a general whose hands was stained with the blood of hundreds of people, probably, no one will believe it.
However, it was such a person who had actually surpassed everyone. So, everyone was dissatisfied and eager to prove that they were better than her. Hence, they had overestimated themselves.
The victory of others could only be the victory of others. If it was themselves, it could only bring the due defeat.
This time Chen Jin looked at Zhao Zimu with a bit of complexity. The failure of others once again proved the excellence of this young man.
This time, those in the army who were dissatisfied with her may never be dissatisfied anymore because only this person was the nemesis of the Xiongnu and she was unique and unmatched.

In the big tent of the Xiongnu, Sun Wu finally met the man who had caught him after being detained for a few days. This person was not the current great khan of the Xiongnu, Muke, but it was his younger brother Tata!
“Does general still think you have the chance to go back?” Tata smiled when he came in and looked at Sun Wu who was struggling while he was tied up.
“If you want to kill or slash, please hurry up. If I frown even a bit, I won’t be a courageous man.” Sun Wu struggled and said, “It is just that I don’t understand. At that time, I have been surrounded, I wasn’t wearing anything that makes it clear who I am, how were you be able to identify me clearly, resulting in me being in my current state?!”
Tata smiled and said, “General is brave and witty enough to let someone pretend to be you to attract our Xiongnu away from you when you became fully aware that you have lost this battle. If it wasn’t because we paid special attention to you, you would’ve really escaped. However, since you are willing to let someone pretend to be you, it could be seen that you are not someone who viewed death as a return of home. Why don’t general consider and surrender to us, the Xiongnu? Although our grassland doesn’t have the beauties and brocades of the Central Plains, but we have strong wine and horses, as well as countless of fertile lands, cattle and sheep. If you surrender to me, general wouldn’t get the worst out of this.”
- View death as a return of home: not be afraid of the death.
“Treacherous bandit! Don’t think about it!” Sun Wu cursed and then asked confused, “You said that you paid special attention to me. What do you mean by that?”
Facing Sun Wu’s puzzled gaze, Tata smiled and said nothing. This general was really confused and he didn’t know if it was worth it to accept him.
And in a few more days, that person would be coming. Tata looked at Sun Wu like a piece of cargo. He had already caught the person he (ZZ) wanted. He wondered if he could get more benefits this time. Tata thought secretly.

Hehehehehe ZZ working to raise her status as a General (proving her warfare saavy, wiping out Sun Wu’s reputation ((cowardly b*stard actually had a standin to die so he could run away 🤨)) n probably “rescuing” him) and cement her pet Xiongnu Tata’s loyalty with rewards besides helping him overthrow Muke
Thanks for the chapter 😁
