30: Chapter 30 Oh my god, there's even Sichuan opera!

Zhuge Jinyu: ???

What does he mean by whether the King of Southern Border loves male beauty?

"Mister, you mean..."

Su Chen originally didn't want to tell Zhuge Jinyu about this plan.

It was truly too wicked.

He felt like his merit points were about to be -10,000.

He especially couldn't tell the pure, white flower-like Zhuge Jinyu.

But the implementation of the plan tomorrow really required her cooperation.

After some consideration, Su Chen spoke.

After hearing Su Chen's plan, Zhuge Jinyu's face turned beet red, and she shook Su Chen's mirror up and down.

"Oh my!"

"Mister, you are so bad!"

But vaguely, she felt a different impulse in her heart.

To think Mister could have such means.

If she and Mister were just an ordinary couple, and Mister used such means on her, how wonderful would that be...

Stop, stop, stop!

That's something for the Miss zhuge of the next life to consider, not the Prime Minister Zhuge of this life.

Zhuge Jinyu forcibly suppressed her inner impulse and waited for dawn.

...

Just as the sky was turning grey, urgent alarm bells rang inside Zhennan Pass.

Scouts practically scrambled and crawled into the central army tent.

"Report— Prime Minister, Old General Qin!"

The Southern Border army has appeared in seven directions outside the pass simultaneously!"

"Dust is billowing, and killing intent fills the sky; they are all flying Huo Meng's royal banner."

After hearing the report, General Qin's face turned pale, and he kept muttering to himself.

"Seven royal banners? ... It's over, Huo Meng really mastered that forbidden technique!"

"What to do, what to do? Is Zhennan Pass really going to fall this time?"

Except for Zhuge Jinyu and the seven defecting generals, everyone else's expression was not very good.

The garrison inside the pass was already insufficient, and now they had to face enemies from seven directions.

How to resist?

At that moment, the seven traitorous generals, led by the Scarface Vice General, stepped forward almost simultaneously and requested orders from Old General Qin.

"Prime Minister! General Qin!"

"The situation is critical. I am willing to lead my troops to resist the Southern Border army at the second left position!"

"I request to go to the second right!"

"Leave the first left to me!"

The seven of them looked "impassioned" and spoke "sincerely."

They put on a perfect act of being loyal and brave for the country, ready to live or die with the pass.

Old General Qin frowned deeply.

In the current situation, splitting the forces to repel the enemy was indeed the only choice,

Even though it was like drinking poison to quench thirst.

He looked at Zhuge Jinyu in the main seat.

"Prime Minister, what do you think..."

Zhuge Jinyu wore a moon-white Prime Minister's robe, her white hair like snow, her vermilion bird feather fan lightly covering half her face, revealing only a pair of calm fox-like eyes.

Her gaze swept over the seven "loyal and brave" vice-generals, her voice cold.

"This Prime Minister grants it."

"The seven generals' loyalty and bravery are commendable; you are truly the pillars of our Great Qian!"

"Please muster your troops immediately, deploy defenses in the requested directions, and ensure the positions are held."

"Without This Prime Minister's command, you are not allowed to retreat a single step!"

"We obey your command!"

The seven replied in unison, and as they turned to leave, a smirk of a successful scheme appeared on their faces.

Not allowed to retreat a single step?

I'll lead them right in!

Old General Qin watched their departing figures and sighed heavily.

He turned to Zhuge Jinyu.

"Prime Minister, splitting into seven routes makes our forces too scattered. It might be better to concentrate our strength and defeat them one by one..."

Zhuge Jinyu stood up slowly, her feather fan waving slightly.

"Old General Qin, do not worry too much. With the two of us here in the pass to coordinate and stabilize the army, This Prime Minister has her own plans."

She didn't explain further, only nodding slightly to Huang Ying beside her.

Huang Ying understood and immediately left to mobilize the personal guards Zhuge Jinyu had brought.

The task of these personal guards was, of course, not to directly clash with the seven-route army led by Huo Meng.

They were only responsible for doing odd jobs on the city walls.

Soon, only Zhuge Jinyu remained in the tent... and the ancient mirror in her arms.

"Mister, the fish have taken the bait."

Zhuge Jinyu whispered to the mirror, her voice carrying a hint of playfulness.

In the mirror, Su Chen's blurred figure seemed to smile.

"Mm, the show begins."

"Xiao Yu, you stay in the pass. I'll leave the personal guards to your command; just block some small-scale attacks."

"As for those seven 'surprises,' I'll go check on the results."

The reason Su Chen chose to let Zhuge Jinyu stay in the pass was not because he was worried about her safety.

It was mainly because he had placed aphrodisiac script on the seven vice-generals who went to intercept Huo Meng's clones.

That kind of scene, one didn't even need to think about it.

It would definitely be explosive.

Xiao Yu is so well-behaved and sensible; it's better she doesn't see that kind of scene.

"Be careful, Mister."

Zhuge Jinyu urged. Although she had absolute confidence in Su Chen's strength, care breeds concern.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Before his voice faded, a faint light flashed on the mirror's surface, and a weak stream of light, undetectable by mortals, silently escaped the tent and headed outside the pass.

Su Chen once again transformed into his three-meter-tall Sword Immortal form, his divine sense instantly covering the entire battlefield.

He soon locked onto the first target.

The scarred-faced general heading to the second left.

And a powerful figure filled with killing intent.

That should be one of Huo Meng's clones.

Su Chen's soul body locked onto their direction.

But when he flew closer to look, although he already had expectations, the scene before him still almost made him spit out a mouthful of blood.

Below was a scene of chaos.

The Scarface Vice General, who was supposed to "tacitly" let Huo Meng's clone drive straight in, was in a bizarre state.

Huo Meng's clone had about seventy percent of his strength, roughly at the early Spirit Transformation Realm, and was surrounded by dark green mist.

What he specialized in should be the unique poison arts of the Southern Border.

According to the plan, he should be launching a fierce attack now, while the scarred vice-general would "collapse" after some symbolic resistance.

However, the reality was exactly the opposite.

The scarred vice-general's eyes were blood-red, his breathing heavy, and his face had an extremely abnormal flush.

He was fiercely attacking Huo Meng's clone like a crazed tiger.

The long saber in his hand was hacking wildly without any technique, and he made guttural sounds, his eyes glazed.

It was as if he wasn't seeing a terrifying enemy.

But... like his own wife.

Huo Meng's clone also seemed stunned.

This is not what was agreed upon.

He tried to use poisonous mist to repel the opponent, but the scarred vice-general seemed to have lost his mind, completely ignoring the corrosive mist and desperately trying to get close to him.

Although the clone had the strength of the early Spirit Transformation Realm, it was mainly strong in poison arts.

Facing a Yuan Ying cultivator in a state of madness head-on, he was actually entangled by this suicidal fighting style for a moment.

He appeared a bit flustered.

Poisonous mist was meant to turn an opponent into a madman, but now that the opponent was already a madman, how was he supposed to fight?

As for the other soldiers under them, seeing the two acting like they were having a fit, they had long since fled to open up other battlefields.

"The effect of this thing is actually this powerful?"

Su Chen watched with great interest.

"Mama!"

Taking advantage of the clone's distraction, the Scarface Vice General launched a sneak attack and grabbed his waist from behind.

"Ah~"

"Ah, Brother Jie, don't! Ah, Brother Jie, please don't~"

The scarred-faced man was already seeing red; how could he care about the clone's pleas? He began to frantically tear at his clothes.

"Brother Meng, your muscles are so... so wonderful!"

"Sorry, I really can't help myself..."

"Ah!"

Squelch.

Gurgle gurgle gurgle...

"Holy shit!"

Even with Su Chen's excellent temperament, he couldn't help but swear at this moment.

It seemed all the merit he had accumulated through good deeds over the years was about to be squandered.

Seeing the two below—one frantically "professing love," the other going from shock and anger to embarrassment and finally enjoying it...

Su Chen shook his head, having no interest in watching this farce any longer.

"Truly a pair of ill-fated lovers..."

"Forget it, I'll send you on your way so you can be companions on the road to the Yellow Springs."

He pointed his fingers like a sword and lightly tapped in the air.

Sword qi pierced through the air.

The two entangled figures froze simultaneously.

The blood-red in the scarred vice-general's eyes quickly faded, and he regained a moment of clarity.

Then his life force was cut off, and he collapsed to the ground.

Huo Meng's poisonous mist clone looked up at the sky in horror, seemingly trying to find the source of the attack.

But seeing nothing, the clone vanished silently into the air like a popped bubble.

Su Chen didn't even look at the corpses on the ground and headed toward the second marked point.

"First one cleared."

"I wonder what the other six 'date' scenes look like?"

"I'm actually looking forward to it..."
