Agreed!
More than agreed!
Ren Tianye said, “I’m deeply gratified that you have this intention.”
“Set out at once and go find your master.”
“However… is your master in Yunjing?”
“Yes!” Song Shaoyi replied. “Near Zijin Mountain.”
“Hmm. That is Yunjing territory. At present, my army has occupied Pukou City, driving a dagger straight into Yunjing’s lifeline. Yunjing will certainly have its defenses on high alert. You must be extremely careful on your way back.”
“I’ll also have soldiers escort you part of the way!”
Song Shaoyi hurriedly said, “Lord Duke, there’s no need. I know the way back to find my master very well. Bringing too many people would only make things worse.”
“Lord Duke, please rest assured.”
“I will definitely bring my master here to assist you.”
Ren Tianye nodded. “Good.”
“Then go.”
“I’ll await your master, Lord Duke.”
Song Shaoyi took his leave. Carrying silver, fresh water, and dry provisions, he mounted a horse and quickly rode out of the city.
Once he left Pukou City, strictly speaking, he had already entered Yunjing territory.
Naturally, he proceeded with the utmost caution.
But as the saying went, it took all sorts to make a story. Song Shaoyi unexpectedly spotted a figure in the distance—a figure he never would have expected to see!
“Pei Wugou?!”
“That should be Pei Wugou, right?”
“Yes, yes, it’s definitely him… only…”
Song Shaoyi gazed at him from afar, unable to stop the smile spreading across his lips.
“He’s missing a patch of scalp. He looks rather comical, like someone sliced straight through the middle of a watermelon…”
The corners of Song Shaoyi’s mouth were practically twitching with suppressed laughter.
Still, he forced himself to hold it back.
After all, Pei Wugou’s strength was terrifying. He had captured Zhou Xiong and defeated Wu Xingzhou with a single move. There was no way Song Shaoyi could stand against him.
He quickly found a place to hide, peering through the gaps in the grass and trees as he watched Pei Wugou’s movements. He even began considering whether he should find an opportunity to return to Pukou City and report Pei Wugou’s whereabouts to Lord Duke.
Then he saw Pei Wugou by a stream, carefully tending to himself. The gilded, jade-inlaid scale armor he wore had been washed until it was spotless and gleamed like a mirror.
Even his body had been wiped clean, without a speck of dust on it.
One could say that, for the most part, he had once again regained the appearance of the refined young nobleman he had been when they first met.
But only for the most part…
Because there was one crucial thing Pei Wugou could not fix.
The patch of hair missing from his head!
Presumably, Lord Duke’s arrow had torn the hair right off along with the flesh, leaving Pei Wugou in his current state.
“If I were Pei Wugou and saw myself looking like this, I’d probably be furious enough to die.”
That was what Song Shaoyi thought.
As if Pei Wugou had sensed his feelings, he immediately did just that.
Pei Wugou had still been staring at his reflection in the stream when he suddenly exploded in fury. With rage soaring to the heavens, he slammed one foot into the water, as though he meant to shatter the entire world beneath it!
“Ren! Tianye!”
“My head may be severed, but my hair must not be disheveled!”
“You ruined my appearance! I, Pei Wugou, will make you pay the price!”
“You and I are mortal enemies!”
His roar was like thunder, echoing throughout the mountain valley with a deep, rumbling boom.
Then…
Song Shaoyi felt the ground tremble faintly. When he looked up again, he saw a mass of dark figures rapidly approaching from the mouth of the valley.
His expression changed.
“Yunjing’s army!”
“Fortunately, fortunately, Lord Duke entered Pukou City ahead of them. Otherwise, if this Yunjing army had arrived first, taking Pukou City would have been several times more difficult!”
As he thought this, Yunjing’s army had already surged into the valley, filling it from end to end. The general riding at the front was probably a deputy general or military strategist of some sort. He first swept a cold glance over Pei Wugou, then said icily, “Who are you?”
“Hmph. You certainly have a loud voice.”
Pei Wugou turned around, revealing the bald patch on his head. His presence was still imposing as he shouted even louder than the deputy general, “Are you blind?”
“You can’t recognize Marquis Jingyi?”
“You’re the reinforcements sent by Yunjing, aren’t you?”
“Get off your horse and pay your respects. What are you waiting for?”
The deputy general had recognized Marquis Jingyi Pei Wugou at once, but he was extremely displeased with him.
After all, Yunjing’s imperial edict had ordered everyone to gather at Pukou City and oppose Ren Tianye. Yet this fellow had come alone, without even bothering to notify anyone.
The deputy general had been left to reorganize the troops and handle the provisions all by himself.
What did Pei Wugou take him for?
A man who cleaned up after him?
That was why the deputy general merely gave a cold snort and said, “Marquis Jingyi?”
“You insolent wretch, how dare you!”
“You actually have the nerve to impersonate Marquis Jingyi?”
“In Yunjing, who doesn’t know that General Pei Wugou, Marquis Jingyi, is a handsome and elegant young nobleman, the very picture of a refined gentleman? But just look at yourself…”
“You look as though a rat has gnawed at you!”
“You think you can pass yourself off as Marquis Jingyi?”
The deputy general’s every word struck straight at Pei Wugou’s sorest spot. Pei Wugou had already been furious enough to kill someone, and now his rage erupted completely.
“I’m injured! I’m injured, can’t you see?”
Pei Wugou roared, “You’re nothing but a lowly deputy general, yet you dare mock me? Do you think the sword in my hand has gone dull?”
He suddenly whipped his head around.
“And you…”
“Why are you laughing from inside those bushes?”
“What’s so funny?”
“Get out here! I’ve been putting up with you for long enough!”
The moment Pei Wugou finished speaking, he shot forward.
Though Pei Wugou’s figure appeared slender, the instant he charged, he was like a ferocious beast. The force of his advance made the earth hum beneath him.
Song Shaoyi’s smile vanished instantly. He turned and tried to run, but Pei Wugou rushed over and kicked his horse out from under him. The horse crashed to the ground, and Pei Wugou immediately lunged at Song Shaoyi.
Song Shaoyi had no choice but to turn around and engage him.
But the result was obvious.
Under Pei Wugou’s overwhelming martial prowess, Song Shaoyi could not last even a single exchange. Pei Wugou captured him on the spot and tucked him under one arm.
Pei Wugou’s attack had been so swift and explosive that it was over in the blink of an eye. The deputy general and the Yunjing soldiers behind him were left completely dumbfounded.
Thus, when Pei Wugou returned, the deputy general hurriedly dismounted and prostrated himself before him.
“Marquis, I—I was blind and failed to recognize your greatness. I offended you.”
“I beg you, Marquis, to be magnanimous and not hold this against me.”
