Section 8

Yes, I shall obey your command

The merchant, having finished speaking, let his right arm drop, the blade in his hand slipping weakly to the ground, as he strode confidently toward the door. As he passed in front of Huang Shi, the merchant's lips twitched slightly, and he spat a mouthful of phlegm, hitting the face of the person by the window: "Bah, traitor, may you die a miserable death"

This is a letter addressed to the elders of your family, please keep it safe

Excuse me, please move aside

I do not dare to conceal anything; when the esteemed one inquires, I shall respond truthfully.

I am sorry, I also want to live

Returning to the capital, it is breathtakingly beautiful, truly a paradise on earth

Huang Shi, who had long been mentally prepared, did not blink an eye, maintaining a posture with his arms crossed over his chest. Saliva flowed from the corner of his eye to the corner of his mouth; he merely tilted his head slightly to control the direction, allowing it to flow down his cheek. "I am a rebel of the Ming Dynasty, and I have indeed benefited from your two meals and a maid, so I should rightfully receive this from you. You may spit a few more times if you wish."

The sky is high above, and the earth is deep below. If any subordinate dares to leak even a single word, they will be cut off from their descendants, and struck by lightning from the heavens. As Huang Shi swore an oath, he inwardly cursed Sun Degong's ancestors thoroughly.

The two songstresses who have been accompanying you these days have already moved to that courtyard, and they will be waiting for you there.

He fastened a sturdy leather belt around his waist, his fingers gliding over the purple belt's edges, still feeling some unpolished roughness. He tightened the belt firmly around his waist, attaching a bright yellow scabbard for his waist knife, inserting the gleaming long blade. Huang Shi carefully wiped the heart guard and shoulder armor with a cloth dipped in water, then donned the arm guards and wrist clasps. He tightened the scarlet cloak around his neck, allowing the hem to fall to the tops of his boots.

As he stepped out of the door, Huang Shi silently recited towards the direction in which the prison vehicle was departing

Yes, Duke Xie.

This is the pass issued to you by the King of Sweat, which allows you to freely enter and exit the entire territory of the Golden State. When you leave, you will have removed your braids

What about the rewards? The last fifth question is why should these be given to you? Please answer them together

As the shout rang out, Huang Shi took a step forward, his long legs moving with a firm and powerful stride

Standing at this window, one can clearly see the main gate, where the elderly and young are lined up in two rows, tied together with ropes by the soldiers of the Later Jin. An infant is snatched from its mother's arms. As Huang Shi observes how that soldier impales the swaddled baby on the tip of his spear, a deep voice filled with reverence sounds beside him

Very good

The soldiers of the Later Jin kicked open the study door and surged in. The merchant, with a grim smile, grasped a small knife in his hand and cut off his own braid, disdainfully throwing it at Huang Shi's feet along with the books, "Rebel, take it."

However, Li Yongfang's expression was quite strange, seemingly hinting at some displeasure. Huang Shi was stunned for a moment before suddenly realizing: "Thank you, King of Sweat, thank you, Prince Consort."

Perhaps sensing the smile that Huang Shi was revealing, Sun Degong's eyes also took on a mocking hue: "Huang Shi, you should understand that everything you can obtain comes from me."

The subordinates will report to my lord that in order to gain the trust of the Khan, it is necessary to sacrifice these spies to solidify the trust of the Jin dynasty. At present, we have successfully deceived the guards and obtained the credentials, which is a highly successful counter-espionage strategy. In the future, it will be much easier for the Jin dynasty to gather intelligence.

Huang Shi reached out to touch his face; the saliva had already dried. So this is what it feels like to have saliva dry on one's face. His chest was almost heaving violently, and Huang Shi struggled to suppress his emotions. "From now on, I will get more and more accustomed to it," he reassured himself, thinking that this merchant had indeed received what he sought.

I am here

What do your two songstresses look like

Staring into the pure and innocent eyes of Huang Shi, Sun Degong said earnestly and slowly: "Lord Wang has instructed me to persuade Li Yongfang to surrender based on our past friendship. The conditions stated in the letter are to grant Li Yongfang the position of Deputy General."

Thank you for your praise, Duke Xi.

There is no need to mention so many books and illustrations, right

The grace of the adult's partnership and assistance shall never be forgotten by the subordinate for a lifetime

This remark brought a smile to Li Yongfang's face: "Go back and tell your family that the King of Sweat granted you that courtyard entirely out of respect for him. Since he is one of his personal soldiers, you must live in a respectable manner"

The Governor of Liaodong summoned the guerrilla commander Sun Degong of the Guangning Army and the Qian General Huang Shi for an audience

Once again seated in Li Yongfang's study, Huang Shi calmly accepted the fragrant tea offered by the maid, while also discreetly placing a handful on her chest

How will you explain it when you go back

The roar of soldiers and the cries of women soon echoed beneath the feet of the two men. Watching the merchant's face turn pale, he then slumped weakly into the chair. Huang Shi shook his head helplessly: "I am sorry, truly sorry, that there is no one who can preserve the incense of your clan for you."

Huang Shi looked coldly at the blade pointed at him in the distance, noticing its tremors growing more intense. Leaning against the window, with his arms crossed over his chest, his gaze held both disdain and pity: "Save your strength; you have misunderstood me. I truly just want to say I'm sorry."

With the help of swallowing saliva, Huang Shi finally managed to suppress the laughter that was about to burst forth.

The reward bestowed upon you by the King of Sweat is indeed a substantial fortune

How about the residence at m.hetushu.com?

Upon returning to Guangning, Huang Shi presented a letter from Li Yongfang. Sun Degong was pleasantly surprised that he was still alive, believing that he had successfully persuaded Li Yongfang to surrender. However, after frowning and reading the letter for a long time, he became increasingly perplexed. He waved his hand, dismissing Fei Liguo and several of his personal guards.

Huang Shi tilted his mouth and said: "A beauty beyond compare, I thought she was a fairy."

Thank you, Duke Xie. I will certainly go through fire and water for the great Jin.

Adults, please discern clearly

There are countless gold, silver, and jewels; General Li said that the reward of these to his subordinates is entirely because they are the personal guards of the esteemed one

This sentence struck the person opposite like a bolt of lightning, causing him to immediately recover from his petrified state. The merchant suddenly darted to the wall and grabbed a small paper cutter from the table

Li Yongfang had long stated that he would bestow the rebellious property upon him, so Huangshi casually replied: "Thank you, Prince Consort"

Facing Sun Degong's gaze, Huang Shi looked up and replied: "It is probably four times the size of the lord's residence"

The merchant stared in astonishment at Huangshi, as if struck by a heavy blow that left him dazed. Before he could regain his senses, both of them simultaneously heard a loud banging on the door, accompanied by the unified shouts of hundreds of people in the street: "By imperial decree, we are searching for Ming traitors, by imperial decree, we are searching for Ming traitors..."

Before him lay the military uniform from Guangning, newly sent by Sun Degong, with the trousers and jacket freshly starched and stiff. Once donned, it fit snugly against his body. He stepped into the high-waisted water buffalo leather military boots, which Huang Shi had specially coated with tung oil to reflect a human silhouette. Approaching the desk, Huang Shi tossed the clanking chainmail vest over his head. The custom-fitted metal vest was perfectly tailored, its bottom edge just reaching his hips, with hundreds of steel scales shimmering like stars in the sky.

The merchant, who had originally been pouting, was suddenly left dumbfounded after hearing these words, his mouth agape. After a long moment, he shook his head, sighed helplessly, and walked past Huang Shi. The merchant was immediately seized by several fierce soldiers from the Later Jin, who bound his hands behind his back and escorted him out. Regardless of how painful the position was, he did not utter a single sound.

What do you think of the courtyard of the rebellious merchant

The letter did not mention anything, it only asked me to pose a few questions to you. First, what is your impression of the prince's residence you have seen

Finally, Huang Shi approached the bronze mirror, gazing at the reflection of a person with both hands raised above his head, wearing a full iron and silver helmet that covered his brow. Behind it were deep-set eyes and a prominent nose, with a red scarf tied beneath a bushy black beard

Sun Degong's expression changed as he scolded, "Huang Shi, how dare you act as an advocate for the traitorous invaders? Are you seeking death?"

Huang Shi walked over and carefully took the letter with both hands, gently placing it into his bosom
