Chapter 4, Love Rival

In the blink of an eye, blood flowed all over the ground, and the three Han young women fell to the ground.

After climbing for about half an hour, Chu Si's eyes brightened. The faint starlight was so beautiful in the dark cave. Chu Si quickened his pace and soon emerged from the bushes.

She thought again: So my body's name is also Chu Si? That's good, it saves me from revealing my true identity

At the moment when Chu Si was staring blankly at herself in the bronze mirror, a suppressed light laughter came from behind. Chu Si was taken aback and then said softly: "Please take it away."

She handed over a small bundle and said, "Everything inside is yours, Chu Si. Next time, do not let me see you again, otherwise, I will stop at nothing to kill you in your place"

Murong Ke made a sound of acknowledgment, turned into the side hall, and walked straight into the larger wooden room inside. The most prominent feature of that room was a large bed. Next to the bed was a simple dressing area.

Chu Si made a sound of acknowledgment and without saying a word, jumped down into the pit. Hearing her footsteps growing fainter, the short Hu girl exclaimed, "Princess, what should we do?"

Chu Si was taken aback; she clearly heard a certain venom lurking in the voice of the young girl

The girl standing to the left of Chusi was also startled, opening her mouth to scream. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her back, as she was pierced through by another petite Hu girl.

It was not until Murong Ke's footsteps faded away that several young girls stood up and surrounded Chu Si. In their eyes, there was nothing but admiration for Chu Si, and even a hint of daze.

Upon seeing the copper mirror on the table, Chu Si's eyes suddenly became bright and sparkling. Murong Ke placed her gently on the chair and turned to several young ladies, instructing, "Give the young lady a simple makeover; we will be departing in half an hour."

Looking at the place he had just come from, Chu Si felt a surge of alarm: the military camp he had just been in was clearly a temporary one. Yet, even such a makeshift military camp had someone who expended tremendous effort to construct this tunnel. It seems that his identity must be quite remarkable, indeed something that evokes considerable apprehension!

With a gentle smile, Murong Ke pressed a kiss on Chu Si's face and softly said: "Si'er, do not think of anything else, just enjoy the wealth and glory that your husband brings to you"

Chu Si looked up at the face of the young girl. When she met that fierce and menacing expression, she instinctively raised her hand and solemnly said: "I, Chu Si, hereby swear before heaven and earth that I will never appear before Murong Ke again, nor will I use any means to let Murong Ke discover my whereabouts. All past loves and hates shall be erased. Should I violate this oath, may heaven strike me down with thunder!"

Yes, General

This young girl is clearly different from ordinary maids, possessing considerable boldness. As she combs Chu Si's hair, she chuckles lightly and says, "I have often heard people say that some Han women are more beautiful than celestial beings, but it is only today that I truly believe it!"

This is a face that is both sacred and enchanting, no wonder that even the ruthless and cold-hearted Murong Ke is utterly infatuated with it

Of course, I also burrowed into the underground tunnel. Inside, there is a concealed passage that I left as an escape route for myself. Hmph, even if Murong Ke were to slaughter the city and destroy the nation, he would not be able to find out who took away his beloved beauty

Chusi was yanked off the chair, and after stumbling a few steps, the tall Hu girl pulled her towards the edge of the bed. At that moment, the short Hu girl had already crawled under the bed, and somehow, she managed to create a dark, gaping hole that appeared before the eyes of the three.

The ground was not high, and Chu Sifu was quickly crawling on the ground. As her hands and feet became more active, she gradually discovered that her body seemed to possess boundless potential, and many movements that she could not even imagine in her previous life could now be easily accomplished.

Upon a second glance, Chu Si discovered that the beauty of this face was secondary; it possessed an indescribable allure. Whether it was a fleeting glance of the eyes, a slight wrinkle of the nose, or a pouting of the lips, each expression surpassed all adjectives, leaving one utterly captivated and entranced.

The bronze mirror is very blurry, reflecting a waxy yellow image of the person. However, upon looking inside, Chusi Zhao was also entranced by his own reflection

Standing to the right of Chu Si, a Han girl of about eighteen or nineteen, with an oval face, was momentarily taken aback before quickly regaining her composure. She carefully held up a bronze mirror in front of Chu Si's eyes

Having said that, he strode away. At this moment, several young girls kneeling on the ground all raised their heads to look at his back, their faces filled with infatuation and reverence

Murong Ke ignored the girls kneeling on the ground and turned to look at Chu Si. Sensing that he would turn his head, Chu Si quickly closed his eyes, pretending to be uninterested in anything.

The tall Hu girl pushed Chu Si and coldly said, "Run away, get far away, and never appear before Murong Ke again!" Before she finished her sentence, she placed her long sword against Chu Si's neck. As the chilling sword energy penetrated to the bone, the girl's cold laughter echoed: "Chu Si, I have heard that you take oaths seriously. I want you to swear: from now on, you will never appear before Murong Ke again, nor are you allowed to reveal your whereabouts by any means. All past loves and hates will be erased!"

She had not yet had the chance to experience it when suddenly two muffled screams came from behind her. Staring blankly at the two young girls who collapsed to the ground with blood flowing from their chests, Chu Si's face instantly turned pale

At this point, with a flick of the short sword in her hand, before Chu Si could even scream, the ropes binding her hands and feet were severed with a few swift strokes

Entering the third small house on the left side of the wooden house cluster, as soon as the two individuals stepped inside, four or five young girls knelt on the ground and exclaimed: "We have met the general"

As soon as the vow was uttered, the tall Hu girl immediately broke into a smile, while at that moment, the short, servant-like Hu girl had already crawled out from under the bed. Fearing that the night would bring more dreams, Chu Sifei quickly crawled under the bed, just as she was about to jump into the hole in the ground. The tall Hu girl called out, "These are for you"

This expression made Chu Si doubt her appearance even more. She softly said, "Bring me the bronze mirror." Her voice was truly enchanting, causing all the women to show a dazed expression. Chu Si frowned and coldly said again, "Bring me the bronze mirror."

The Han girl placed the bronze mirror back on the table, and a Hu girl with a high nose bridge and slightly deep-set eyes approached. She tousled Chu Si's hair and, looking into the bronze mirror, giggled, "Miss, you are truly beautiful; no wonder even you are captivated by your own reflection"

The girl appearing in the mirror, though faint and indistinct, possesses an indescribable beauty. With a pointed chin, delicate double eyelids, and a petite, high nose, her entire facial features seem as if sculpted from jade, exuding a kind of beauty that is difficult to describe and far from ordinary

Seeing Chu Si's face turn pale with fear, the Hu girl standing beside her sneered: "I heard that you attempted to assassinate Ge Ge three times. I thought you were such an impressive woman, but it turns out you are just a coward!"

This is a dense forest, and at the exit, which connects to a mountain range, there is a growth of wild grass that is as tall as a person. If she had not just emerged from within, one would hardly believe that this could be an entrance to a tunnel
