Chapter 685: 5234

Gu Changsheng cocked his head, looking at the man next to him strolling leisurely, and raised his eyebrows to speak.

"It’s quite evident that they were prepared in advance, such heavy guards, and we are to breach the city with only one hundred and two men, Changsheng my love, what are you thinking?" Zhou Mu chuckled, raising his eyebrows with enthusiasm, asked without showing the slightest intention of being in a battle.

"Haha... one hundred and two? You’re giving them too much credit!" Gu Changsheng laughed arrogantly upon hearing this, and a cold glint flashed through his eyes, "It must be the Xiangka Clan who have come to their senses and set up such heavy defenses, intending to intercept me!"

"But since Gu Changsheng is already here, how could I simply leave? I will let them learn the hard way that ’Inviting the gods is easy; sending them away is hard!’ How could a small city with tens of thousands of stationed troops deserve the service of my one hundred and two vanguard troops to breach it?"

Zhou Mu cocked an eyebrow upon hearing this.

"Evildoer, you lead them to keep cutting through the mountains, I’ll clear the path for you, and by dawn, I will be at the Dayao Village, waiting for you with the City Gates wide open!" Gu Changsheng patted his shoulder, then beckoned to the people behind him, "Han Qiu, Xiao Cui, Jin, Yu, Liang, and Yuan—four sisters, follow me at full speed down the mountain. Let’s play a game of infiltration with them!"

"Yes!" The six women responded in a deep voice, taking the objects passed harmoniously from the person beside them, turned around, and followed the red figure ahead.

"Changsheng, be careful!" Zhou Mu called out, full of concern, as he watched the nimble little woman weave through the ancient trees.

Gesturing behind him, Gu Changsheng shouted, "Relax, I vow on the name of the Dark Night Army to become famous in one fell swoop, needing only seven people to breach a city!"

Zhou Mu, upon hearing this, smiled helplessly.

This woman, she was a defiance of the heavens!

Such bold and arrogant words, yet for some reason, Zhou Mu believed she could certainly do it.

At the foot of the mountain, Dayao Village’s city wall was several zhang high, and above it, countless soldiers patrolled non-stop with long spears in their hands.

Torches lit up the entire city wall as bright as day.

Gu Changsheng, leading six women as beautiful as flowers and jades, stealthily made their way to the base of the city wall, listening to the complaining voices of soldiers above.

"Boss, it’s been over ten years and we’ve had no foreign tribes daring to violate the Southern Border. Why are we on such high alert and putting on such a big show this time?" A patrolling soldier yawned, asking his leader.

"What do you know! The Gu order came from above. The invaders this time are remnants of the previous dynasty, said to have brought only eight hundred men. The orders are to eliminate them all at Dayao Village, leaving none behind!" The leader replied grimly and ferociously.

"Haha... eight hundred men? Just in our Dayao Village we have sixty thousand troops—what fool would attack with only eight hundred? These remnants of the previous dynasty are really brainless, could they be fools?" Hearing this, the patrolling soldier burst into laughter, and the others joined in.

"Whether they are brainless or fools, our job is to kill. Killing them and presenting their heads for military merit—this free military merit, it would be foolish to pass it up. There are no better deals than this in the world!"

"Exactly! It’s like a pie falling from the sky! Let’s just hope they’re not too scared to come!"

"Haha..."

"Haha..."

"Shut up! This is a critical defense area. Playing around and neglecting your duties—drag them away!" A cold female voice rang out, and soon there was only the sound of agonized shrieking on the wall.

Below the city wall, Gu Changsheng pursed her lips, pointed at herself with a sheepish expression, and spoke, "That brainless fool they mentioned, the remnant of the previous dynasty, could they mean me?"

Xiao Cui and Han Qiu exchanged glances upon hearing this, and they all nodded in agreement.

"That’s right, wife, they’re talking about you."

"Damn it, they’re asking for it! They’ve got no vision!" Was she brainless? Was she foolish? She was wrongfully labeled as a remnant of the previous dynasty, and she felt wronged!

"Wife, it seems that the Southern Border really holds women in high esteem. That woman above seems to be in charge of defending the city," suggested Jin as she pointed upwards and spoke softly.

"Hmm!" Gu Changsheng nodded with a lack of enthusiasm, gauged the time, then yawned, "Descending the mountain was too quick, we still have time. How about this, let’s stake a claim on their Village Chieftain Mansion for a nap before we breach the gate, shall we?"

The six women glanced at their completely unselfconscious leader and collectively shook their heads in silence.

"Then I’ll go ahead and wait for you." Gu Changsheng spoke, and leaped towards the shadowy part of the city wall.

The patrol soldier on top of the wall had a fleeting sensation of a blur, and then everything returned to tranquility.

Seeing this, Han Qiu, Xiao Cui, and the others did not dare to delay; they flung their grappling hooks and silently clung to the city wall as they climbed rapidly like geckos heading for the top.

After several shadows darted by, a puzzled patrol sentinel scratched his head and said to his companion, "Did it seem like someone just flew by just now?"

"Someone? You’ve got to be joking! Forget a person, not even a ghost has entered Dayao Village for over a decade!" His companion immediately replied.

"Oh, mama, it must be a ghost then—I’m sure I saw several black shadows swiftly fly by just now!" The patrol sentinel panicked at the mention of ghosts.

"Look at you, all timid and pathetic, no wonder you haven’t gotten married yet! Which Miao girl would want a useless man like you! Humph!" The person beside him immediately scoffed, "You’re probably just hoping to come across a female ghost to take you in!"

"You—!"

The two quarreled for a moment before silence returned.

The Village Chieftain Mansion of Dayao Village was easy to find, or more accurately, it didn’t need to be found at all!

In the very center of the village, the tall bamboo tower guarded by soldiers was undoubtedly the Village Chieftain Mansion.

And now, inside the largest bedroom of the bamboo tower at the Chieftain Mansion, Gu Changsheng wiped the bloodstained Chonghua Dagger in his hand, raised his eyebrows, and looked at the woman on the bed, "Are you going to give up the bed voluntarily for a nap, or should I drag you out of it and take the bed for a nap myself?"

"You! Are you the remnant of the former dynasty?" The Village Chieftain’s face twisted hideously as he saw the flaming mark between Gu Changsheng’s brows, "The Phoenix Clan deserves to die, someone! Someone come!"

"Deserves to die? Seems like you are a diehard Xiangka Clan loyalist, huh?" Gu Changsheng picked up on his words and raised his eyebrow, "Well, to be able to lead sixty thousand troops at the frontier city, you must definitely be a loyalist of the Xiangka Clan, in which case..."

At that point, Gu Changsheng’s gaze became chilling as he looked at the middle-aged beauty on the bed.

"Haha... just a few of you dared to break into Dayao Village, this is seeking death!" Thinking of the imminent military honors and the bright future ahead, murder filled the Chieftain’s eyes as his sleeve flicked, and several Gu insects were flung towards Gu Changsheng and the others.

Miao girls were skilled with Gu, and there were almost none in the world who could dodge Gu insects!

A smug smile hung on the Village Chieftain’s face, "If you’ve come seeking death, don’t blame me for being merciless. You’ll taste the power of my flesh-eating Gu—"

Before he could finish saying ’taste,’ the Chieftain felt a chill on his neck, his gaze froze, and warm blood flowed from his throat. In disbelief, he watched the Gu insects fall to the ground motionless...

"No... no..." As air escaped from his throat, the Chieftain couldn’t complete even a single sentence, instead quickening the flow of blood, and in a blink, his face turned the color of liver.

"You know, I forgot to tell you, I really hate it when people throw things at me at random, especially when those things are Gu insects!" Gu Changsheng tossed the increasingly stiff woman off the bed, wiped the Chonghua Dagger on her clothes, and curved his lips into a cold smile, "You better hurry on your way to wait for your master. Soon, the Xiangka Clan will go down to remain loyal to you!"

The Village Chieftain’s neck twisted, his eyes still filled with disbelief, and he quickly lost his breath.

"Alright! This bed is ours now!" Gu Changsheng sprawled in the shape of a "big character" on the bed and stretched his arms and legs comfortably, beckoning to the six beauties under the bed, "Come on, come on, you’ve trekked mountains and rivers with me all night, quickly come keep me company for a nap. This Village Chieftain really is too extravagant—this bamboo bed is indeed big enough!"

It looked like it could sleep a dozen people without any problem at all!

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but wonder if the female chieftain of Dayao Village kept a few beautiful men around!

Thinking about it, that was quite tempting!

Keeping beautiful men, that was an unreachable dream that Gu Changsheng had always longed for in her life!

Seeing the wicked smile on their mistress’s face, Xiao Cui quickly retreated a step, inserted the bloodied dagger back into her sleeve, shook her head, and said, "Mistress, you sleep. I’m going to patrol to make sure there are no fish that slipped through the net at the Village Chieftain Mansion!"

The other five women nodded in agreement.

If truth be told, their mistress’s grin looked a bit too lecherous!

Ever since they knew the Young Master was unharmed, their mistress had completely reverted to her old, unruly self!

"Patrol what! Do you think we slaughtered pigs just now? Let me tell you, in this entire Village Chieftain Mansion, it’s just the seven of us breathing. We’ve successfully become kings of the mountain!" Gu Changsheng motioned to them with a lascivious gesture, "Cuties, just give in to your lord. Look, I’ve taken the bed for you guys!"

As he spoke, Gu Changsheng gave the bamboo bed a rascal pat.

Gu Changsheng’s hooliganism came naturally; her actions were smooth and fluid with not a hint of hesitation.

The six women were left stunned by her reaction, shoulders shrinking in embarrassment. They really wanted to say that they didn’t know the female rogue on the bed!

"Alas! Can’t we just have a bit of fun?" Seeing their lack of movement, Gu Changsheng sighed, waved her Red Sleeve, and a wave of strength swept towards the six beauties, "What’s with this non-violent non-cooperation? I told you to give in to your lord, why are you still playing coy?"

"Mistress..." Lying beside her mistress, Xiao Cui’s face was the picture of wanting to cry without tears...

As subordinates, sleeping on the same bed as their mistress, how could that be proper?

"Mistress, we came here to fight, right?" Xiao Cui sniffled, her face sheepish as she asked.

Why did it seem like their mistress treated it all as playful fun?

"We did come here to fight! Close your eyes and rest; we have a quarter of an hour to recuperate. At the darkest hour before dawn, follow me as we break through the city gate!"
