Chapter 687: 526 The Woman Who Fought Relentlessly with Duke of Zhou

Zhou Mu led the vanguard troops into Dayao Village when that woman, who became famous through a single battle, was occupying the large bed in the Village Chieftain Mansion, snoring away in deep sleep.

With no other choice but to shake his head helplessly, Zhou Mu could only lead over a hundred vanguard soldiers to cleanse the Xiangka Clan’s garrison troops!

The hundred vanguard troops, like the grim reaper descending upon the world, darted through the streets and alleys of Dayao Village, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, without shadow or trace. Wherever they passed, the remaining defeated soldiers hidden away all fell to the ground...

The entire Dayao Village seemed to have turned into purgatory, with corpses dressed in the armor of the Southern Border soldiers visible everywhere...

This city, which was defense-friendly but difficult to conquer, changed its name and owner overnight!

It wasn’t until dusk that Yan Ting finally led the central military, escorting the supplies, to enter Dayao Village.

Inside the Village Chieftain Mansion, Princess Nian stood with hands on hips, shouting discontentedly, "Where is Gu Changsheng? Where the hell did Gu Changsheng die off to? Get her out for me! How could she not include me in a fight like this? Becoming famous after a single battle! Such a great opportunity, she even forgot her grandma all the way to the clouds. Does she even consider me a friend?"

"Uh..." Upon hearing this, Xiao Cui’s mouth twitched, "Your Highness Princess Nian, it’s not that the lady didn’t tell you, but when the military order came down, you were by Master Lou’s bedside, oblivious to the affairs outside..."

"I..." Upon hearing this, Princess Nian choked suddenly.

Alright then, she was in the central military tent taking care of Yue Xilou who rushed here severely wounded!

"But that’s no excuse for Gu Changsheng to abandon a friend! To become famous after a single battle, to become renowned all over the world! Xiao Cui, you’ve played a part in such a great affair, how could you forget me?" Princess Nian continued to pound her chest in frustration, "As a brave Northern Mongolian woman, grandma here really covets that fame of becoming renowned in one fight! The battle for Dayao Village is bound to be recorded in history books, touted for ages!"

"Xiao Cui, even a maid like you can die without regrets! To be touted for ages, just think how awesome that is! Yet my share is missing!" Therefore, Princess Nian felt extremely discontent!

How could she be worse than even a little maid? How could this be acceptable?

All this was the fault of Gu Changsheng, who was not enough of a friend!

"Princess Nian..." Xiao Cui, upon being addressed by Princess Nian, felt a little embarrassed, shyly lowered her head, then quickly tried to comfort her, "Actually, Your Highness Princess Nian, you don’t have to feel discontented. Your Highness is also quite famous, your reputation for your love of handsome men is known to everyone across the Four Kingdoms..."

"You!" Princess Nian choked so badly upon hearing this that she couldn’t breathe, feeling utterly awful.

Xiao Cui also realized that this attempt at comforting might have been worse than not saying anything at all! It seemed to make the situation even worse.

She quickly bowed her head, not daring to speak any further.

"You! Xiao Cui you! You truly are Gu Changsheng’s personal maid. Your ability to leave someone choking without causing death, indeed, is a direct teaching from Gu Changsheng!" After a while, Princess Nian finally caught a breath and pointed at the back of Xiao Cui’s head, still full of indignation, "Tell me, where is your lady? Where is she hiding, that tight corner she’s crept into? Call her out, grandma promises I won’t bite her."

Xiao Cui, with a troubled look on her face, seeing Princess Nian’s determination to not back down unless her goal was reached, hesitantly pointed behind her, "Well, the lady is inside, sleeping..."

"What?" Princess Nian’s eyes bulged, "There’s chaos outside, it’s like a mess in a pot, and after she broke through the city, she just pushes off all responsibilities, curls up, and goes to sleep deeply?"

Xiao Cui nodded firmly, "That’s right. When the city was broken through, the lady was dozing off, sitting on the ground. Once the city fell, she took a few glances and snuck back in to sleep deeply..."

Princess Nian’s mouth twitched, then twitched again, and it took a while for her to react, "Is there anyone in the world who fights a war like this?"

In the end, she looked up to the sky with immense grief and sighed, "Heavenly Dao is unfair, so extremely unjust. Somebody like Gu Changsheng, such a contrary-to-heaven existence, should not exist in this world! How are we supposed to live with that!"

Her troops attack the city, she dozes off!

Her troops clean up after the battle, she sleeps soundly!

This woman... this woman... truly makes others envious to death!

"Gu Changsheng! You come out! The sun is about to set in the Western Mountain, and you’ve been sleeping all day long!" Princess Nian banged on the door, feeling that no matter what, she couldn’t let the woman inside be too comfortable.

"What the heck are you doing summoning ghosts! Won’t you let people sleep their beauty sleep? Can’t I play in peace!" A disgruntled murmur came from inside the door, which soon opened. Gu Changsheng came out, yawning, and rubbed her eyes. She looked at the sky, "Eh? Isn’t it still dark? Then I’ll go back and sleep some more!"

This Village Chieftain’s big bed was exceedingly comfortable, and she was very satisfied with her sleep!

"Gu, Chang, Sheng!" Princess Nian ground her teeth and grabbed Gu Changsheng’s ear, pulling her out from the door.

"Ow ow ow! Nian, it hurts! This is not a pig’s ear, it’s a human ear!" Holding her ear, Gu Changsheng howled in pain.

Damn it, the key point here is that this human ear is hers!

"Gu Changsheng, you raise your head and look, that direction is west! It’s west! It’s not that the sun hasn’t come up, it’s that the sun is about to set behind the Western Mountain!" Princess Nian felt she was about to be driven crazy by this woman.

This is a kind of silent mockery!

She really wanted everyone in the world to see that the woman who made a name for herself in one battle, known by all, although wasn’t a creature with three heads and six arms, was definitely a monster!

"Ah? That’s west! I’m so sorry! Just woke up, a little disoriented!" Gu Changsheng, upon hearing that, finally sobered up a bit and started speaking sheepishly, freeing his own ear.

Upon hearing this, Borjigin Nian immediately felt like crying without tears, her grinding teeth making clear and audible sounds out of sheer frustration.

"Hey! Nian, I heard you make a promise just now, you said, if I come out, you promised not to bite me! Stop grinding your teeth, you’ll wear out the enamel and it won’t grow back!" Gu Changsheng retreated a step while covering his ears, "Besides, I really don’t taste good, lately with all the worry and fear, I haven’t even had time to take care of myself, my skin’s rough and my flesh’s tough, really hard to chew!"

"You! You! You!" Borjigin Nian, pointing at the woman in front of her, was at a loss for words.

"Alright, alright! I haven’t even started with you about choosing love over friendship, and here you are picking on me!" Seeing Borjigin Nian’s fuming expression, Gu Changsheng became very complacent. In a great mood, he patted her shoulder, "Don’t be mad. Next time, I’ll definitely take you with me to watch the play, and I’ll share half the bed with you, how about that?"

At these words, Borjigin Nian’s expression finally lightened a bit, but she was still disgruntled, "Is that the same? This was the first victory! Do you understand the importance of a first victory? You brought all your personal maids without missing a single one, so why couldn’t you just take me along too? I missed the chance to make a name for myself in a single battle for nothing!"

"Nian, beneath a great reputation, it’s actually hard to live up to expectations. Just look at me and you can understand. Don’t take it so seriously, alright?" Gu Changsheng spoke with a rascal-like expression.

This battle was fought beautifully, but...

Hehe, but I, Gu Changsheng, was really just walking through the motions for a quick appearance!

"Tsk tsk... I’ve discovered your greatest strength, and that’s having self-awareness!" Borjigin Nian immediately laughed, "Others die before they find success, but you, on the other hand, sleep even before you find success. You really have the nerve to talk!"

Gu Changsheng glared, "What’s there to be ashamed to say about that? I broke through the city, I opened the road, I did everything that needed to be done, you evildoers take care of the rest, it’s all good! My ideal life is to eat a big bowl and sleep all day!"

"You! You really are incomparable!" Borjigin Nian summarized speechlessly.

"Hmph, by the way, has Flower Peacock and the others been settled in? After taking a day to rest, we’ll continue our march!" Gu Changsheng said as she began to walk outside.

"They’ve been in the city for half a day already, all settled in. You don’t have to worry about it," Borjigin Nian said, her face a bit awkward.

"What about Little Monk Bu Jie? Xiao Cui, go fetch Little Monk Bu Jie and haul him up on the city wall!" Gu Changsheng then turned to look at Xiao Cui.

"My lady, Little Monk hasn’t done anything wrong, has he? Why do you want to hang him up on the city wall?" Xiao Cui was taken aback upon hearing this; she was quite fond of Little Monk Bu Jie.

"You and your fellows slaughtered people in the city this morning, killing quite a few. Hurry up and let Little Monk pray for their souls!" Gu Changsheng rolled her eyes, "A monk kept for the household, if we don’t make use of him, we’re wasting food for nothing! Go on, hurry up!"

"Uh... yes!" Xiao Cui’s mouth twitched as she ran out speechlessly.

Borjigin Nian looked at Gu Changsheng as if looking at a monster, her face convulsing, "Gu Changsheng, what trick are you playing now? Have you ever seen anyone pray for the souls of the enemy army after winning a battle?"

That was simply unheard of!

"You think I want to?" Gu Changsheng rolled her eyes in response, raising a finger to point at the sky, "I’ll tell you, that Heavenly Father has always been at odds with me. He dislikes me, so I need to do more good deeds, lest one day he tries to trip me up again!"

Being tripped up by the Heavenly Father is truly something with nowhere to appeal for justice!

Borjigin Nian covered her face, "The people were killed by you; will this actually help in any way?"

She truly doubted the efficacy of such actions!

"Who cares if it helps or not, I just want to make full use of everything. It makes no sense for us to fight tooth and nail while Little Monk sits around doing nothing but enjoying himself!" Gu Changsheng replied with righteous indignation.

"Gu Changsheng, put your hand on your heart when you speak; have you been fighting to your last breath? You’ve been fighting Duke of Zhou to your last breath!"

"Miss, don’t take things so seriously! As long as you understand in your heart, it’s good enough. We always have to leave a path of survival for others, right?"

"..."

The two joked and laughed, emerging from the teacher with a complete victory, leaving Gu Changsheng in high spirits.

With Dayao Village breached, one side of the Southern Border’s defenses collapsed. Gu Changsheng, who brought only the Eight Hundred Dark Night Army, couldn’t leave the soldiers to just guard the city.

Her target was Great Swamp Mountain! As long as the Central Military’s escorted supplies remained intact and the military supplies were enough, she wouldn’t need any retreat paths!

Watching the Dark Night Army shuttle through the city, Gu Changsheng smiled slyly, wondering what the Lord of the Southern Border, the Xiangka Clan, would feel about this battle...
