Chapter 207 - 207 201 Hong Ying of Piaoxiang Tavern
Chapter 207: Chapter 201: Hong Ying of Piaoxiang Tavern Chapter 207: Chapter 201: Hong Ying of Piaoxiang Tavern That girl, after a few days of conditioning, was becoming more and more manly, no longer as salivating as the previous days, but a lot fiercer and more emotional. Ye Chen walked over to her and found a spot next to her.
He wanted his water bag. Only after a few gulps of water did he not feel so dry.
“Bitten badly by mosquitoes?” Ye Chen asked.
Ling’er nodded slightly with a light smile.
“Actually, enduring some hardship is good. Otherwise, you’ll never grow up. Ever since I was swindled by a camel, I will never trust anyone easily again.”
Ling’er retorted, “You’re the one who’s not growing up.”
“But you’re becoming more and more like a man, so we might as well call you an old hag in the future.” Ye Chen said to a guy roasting meat next to him, “Give me a piece.”
“You dare.” Ling’er slapped him.
“But you’re more adorable this way.” Ye Chen remarked.
Gazing at the starry sky, everything quieted down.
“You’re really brave, daring to go kill Yang Jing with your sword. With your martial arts skills, aren’t you afraid of getting a slash on your face, so that you can’t get married? What if someone catches you and forces you to be their wife, how would you handle it!”
Ling’er abruptly widened her eyes and snapped, “So, you wish someone cuts me!”
“Of course not. I just want you to be more careful.”
“I suspect you deliberately provoked me to run this errand.”
“How do you know I did it on purpose? If you didn’t come, who would accompany me for a chat? I’m not interested in chatting with monkeys.”
Ling’er scoffed in disdain, flaring her nostrils.
“Well, you should experience suffering to understand what kind of world this is.”
Bring out another cold laugh, she retorted, “You’re roughly the same age as me. What have you experienced?”
“Probably more than you did.”
“You’re just boasting.”
“You think I can only boast! I do have some skills and courage. Do you know how I lured those Tau Wu over? I charged into their cave, gave them a damn good beating. If it wasn’t harsh enough, they might not get angry. That’s how I lured them out.”
Ling’er dismissed his words with a disbelieving sneer.
“Still not believing me, huh. I really went into the cave and killed a bunch of them, even the boss. I was thinking at the time, for the sake of my old lady, I must fight. I won’t let you be taken by them.”
“Stop bluffing. I am not your wife, and there’s no need to beat their boss. It’s unnecessary.”
“No, absolutely not unnecessary. I wanted to shout at the entrance of the cave and lure them out, but if my shouts didn’t interest them enough to come out, what then? I could only go inside and beat them up badly. Sure enough, hundreds followed me out. Without that harsh beating, we’d certainly not have achieved this result. You guys would have been done for.”
“Why didn’t those Tau Wu just take you away then?”
“Maybe I’m too cute for them to bear parting with me. Sure, that’s it.”
“Yuck, ‘cute’ my foot.”
“Don’t spit like that, it’s incredibly ugly. You’re not being polite at all, and you’re a girl.”
Ling’er continued eating her barbecue.
Ye Chen said, “You should thank me. If I wasn’t timely, Yang Jing would have had you paraded down the street, and a few days later, upon rescue, you would have completely lost hope in the world.”
“You should be paraded.”
“No one would watch me if I was paraded. People would watch you. I’d be quite interested.”
“Can’t you shut your mouth even when eating?”
“I can’t help it. I’m naturally talkative and have always been like this.”
“It’s like you’re farts, buzzing in my ear like chanting.”
“Shouldn’t you feel touched when I return?”
“So, should I offer myself to you?”
“Oh no, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.”
Ci Ye and Tong Hegan had to join forces to drive away the group of Tau Wu. There were however losses on their end. A hundred or two people were killed.
Stunned by anger, Ci Ye, fortunately, managed to rescue Yang Jing.
Ci Ye angrily said, “How the hell did they manage to lure these monsters here?”
Tong Hegan said, “Without these things, they never would have broken out of our enclosure.”
Yang Jing said, “Tong Hegan, team up with us to destroy those people. I will split all the silver taels I have collected over the years with you and the four great demons.”
Tong Hegan was quite surprised and made polite comments.
Yang Jing added, “The New City Sect has already attacked us, the No. One Thieves, and Jue Ming. Whether Jue Ming and the rest can survive is still unknown. But one thing is clear. If we are wiped out, the New City Sect will gradually eliminate those who defy and oppose them, one by one.
“This surely includes you. You already clashed with the New City Sect people last time; do you think they’ll let you off the hook?”
Tong Hegan remained silent.
“The best plan now is for us to ally ourselves. Let’s start by eliminating this faction. Once they’re gone, we can openly declare war on the New City Sect. With the support of the Earth King and Gua Zhengnie, we’re bound to undermine the New City Sect.”
Tong Hegan lightly laughed.
Ci Ye said, “Exactly! Our leader is right. We can’t let this group escape. If they infiltrate the Ghost City that easily, it will be chaos.”
Tong Hegan pondered for a moment.
“With everything in our favor now and the four great devils wanting to kill them too, we can join forces and wipe these people out. This will remind them not to cross us. If not, we won’t know how to retaliate in the future,” Yang Jing asserted.
Ci Ye added, “We’ve already joined forces with Da Gui, and we’ve fought for a day. I believe Da Gui and his men will arrive soon. At that point, the three factions can strike this unruly gang. Let’s see if they dare to step in.”
“There’s no need to hesitate. Our chance is better now. If we ally ourselves, it will be easier than when you have to face the New City Sect alone later in the battle. They have already resolved to strike back,” Yang Jing said.
…
In Tianle City, Wei Sisan heard that Ye Chen and others had entered Centipede Mountain and were surrounded by Ci Ye and Tong Hegan, but the Tau Wu had helped them break through the encirclement.
Kong Sha expressed his astonishment, “It’s really unexpected that dealing with the No. One Thieves would attract the top four devils and Tong Hegan. I never saw that coming.”
“I didn’t anticipate it either,” Wei Sisan replied.
“Although they escaped, I think Yang Jing, who also escaped, would not let them go. They still need a day to get out of Centipede Mountain. Even if they really get out, they may not be safe. They are still in the Ghost City area, and they may be encircled. At the moment, Yang Jing and his men are hot on their heels,” Kong Sha speculated.
Wei Sisan listened silently.
“We should send someone to save them,” Kong Sha finally said.
Wei Sisan countered, “No, we’re not rescuing them. We’re helping them deal with these people. Since they can’t sit still and want to form an alliance, then let’s do it. This way, I don’t have to face them one by one. Wouldn’t it be better to cook them all in one pot? If it really happens this way, we can resolve the Ghost City crisis once and for all!”
Luckily, Ye Chen drew out the Tau Wu, or they may have died on Centipede Mountain.”
“I didn’t misjudge this young man. He dared to enter Centipede Mountain. His actions were correct. After all, he escaped from Da Gui. However, they didn’t expect that Ci Ye and others would ally with Tong Hegan, which resulted in the later trouble. I also didn’t anticipate that the No. One Thieves would ally with Tong Hegan’s people.”
“I guess they’re not just allying with Tong Hegan’s men now. They’ve fought for a day and have been entangled for a day. I’m afraid that the group led by Da Gui has already surrounded them, and they are still entangled by Tong Hegan and Ci Ye.”
After glancing at the map of Ghost City, Wei Sisan said, “Kong Sha, you go to Futu Valley and take 300 people with you. Leave the city overnight and ambush them in the valley. We have already arranged 300 people there. You will join them to prepare for the ambush.”
“Sect Leader, are you trying to lure them there? Can Ye Chen really lead them to Futu Valley?”
“I don’t know, but I think there’s a possibility. After all, Ye Chen killed You Dao. He’s smart; I’m sure I didn’t judge him wrong,” Wei Sisan replied.
“I just don’t know if Ye Chen can lead Tong Hegan and the four great devils over there.”
Futu Valley is nearby.
“I want to send a message to Ye Chen and Can Mo. Nothing is certain. If they don’t follow, you should support them there. If they come, encircle them.”
Kong Sha nodded and said, “If we really can lure them there and cook them all in one pot, it’ll make things much easier. It would eliminate all those who usually stir up trouble outside.”
“I need to write a letter to Ye Chen.”
The night passed unnoticed.
Last night there were no surprise attacks, probably because the Tao Wu tired them out too.”
After a night’s rest, everyone felt much more refreshed and not as sleepy anymore.
Those who had gone out to hunt had already brought back game. They were busy preparing meals.
At this moment, Can Mo approached Ye Chen with a letter delivered by a carrier pigeon. Ye Chen was stunned to see it. “We’re still in Centipede Mountain and not out of danger, yet Wei Sisan is thinking about how to ambush those people. It’s really eye-opening. We’re not fully out of danger yet, and this old man is already considering using us as bait to lure them to Futu Valley.”
“It shows that the Sect Leader trusts you.”
Ye Chen gave a wry smile and said, “I don’t even know the exact location of the damn Futu Valley.”
Can Mo quickly unfolded the map and marked a place for Ye Chen: “They should be ambushed here, with 600 men. As long as we can find a way to lure them in, we’ll be fine.”
“They’re not stupid. How could they be lured in so easily?” Ye Chen muttered, “Right now, all I want to do is to leave here as soon as possible. Then I don’t want anything else. As long as there is no danger, it’s fine. I really found out that I’m not Sect Leader material.”
However, Can Mo encouraged, “I feel it’s quite possible. If it hadn’t been for you, none of us could have escaped. The Sect Leader has a good eye.”
“Don’t say that. At any moment, I might lead you into a trap again.”
“Indeed, we should think carefully about how to lure them to Futu Valley. I think they still want to avenge You Dao’s death. We still have a chance.”
“Last time you were in Ghost City, you said Yang Jing was fond of a girl from the Piaoxiang Tavern, right?” Ye Chen remembered.
“Yes, he’s fond of a girl called Hong Ying who works at Piaoxiang Tavern.”
“Does he really like her?”
“He likes her a lot.”
“How much does he like her?”
“Piaoxiang Tavern supports Hong Ying. Although Hong Ying meets other clients, she only performs and doesn’t sell her body.”
What do you think?
