Chapter 781: Chapter 782 Persuasion to Surrender(4)_1

Tuoba Kui gritted his teeth, a mockery curled at the corners of his lips, "The Great Jin Empire has attacked us Meng People numerous times before and every time they were beaten back, this time will be no exception."

Cai Wei retorted with a scoff, "The past is the past, this time, it’s different."

Suddenly, a long object appeared in her hand-- a wooden handle and a round iron barrel at the front, its mouth gaping into a dark hole with no visible end.

Clasping the gun in her hand, she fired three shots in quick succession at the fallen cabinet in the outer room, hole after hole appearing on it. The three bullets punched through the thick face of the cabinet then through Tuoba Kui’s royal tent, finally flying outside.

"Does the Great Kahn think that a Meng warrior’s head could withstand more impact than this cabinet?"

Tuoba Kui’s expression slackened, his gaze filled with a touch more reverence when he looked at the gun in Cai Wei’s hands.

"Imagine, an army of a hundred thousand from the Great Jin Empire, each with this weapon in their hands, how many days would it take to kill your three hundred thousand Meng civilians? I came today because I do not wish for the innocent Meng civilians to meet a tragic death. I hope that the Great Kahn and his people will continue to live well. Think about it, living or dying: which one is better? I don’t have much time to waste, I can only give you ten days. Ten days later if the Great Kahn cannot provide a satisfactory answer, I will have no choice but to kill you first, followed by the stubborn Meng civilians who refuse to surrender. Oh, and don’t expect all Meng people to care about some so-called honor like you do, most people will surrender to the Great Jin Empire, because any wise person would understand that being alive is the most important thing."

"Only by being alive can one possess everything; otherwise, once they are dead, turned to dust, notions of honor and such, all become irrelevant."

Having finished talking, Cai Wei stood up and walked towards the entrance. Passing by the guards who lay on the ground, she moved her hand, and they were able to stir once again. However, this time, no one attacked Cai Wei again; the bullets had just grazed their scalps, the bullet holes in the cabinet were also proof witnessed by their own eyes. At this moment, their gazes towards Cai Wei, besides fear, also held gratitude. This woman could have killed them effortlessly, yet she didn’t, even though they had just attempted to kill her. She generously spared them, demonstrating her magnanimity.

Just as she was about to exit, Cai Wei left behind a chilling remark, "If the Great Kahn insists on not surrendering, you can make use of these ten days to set your affairs in order..."

Tuoba Kui sat down on the carpet, cold sweat trickling down his forehead. All his knowledge, his grand ambitions, all these, when facing absolute martial might, seemed so pale and pitiful...

After leaving Tuoba Kui’s royal tent, Cai Wei noticed the tens of thousands of guards outside, all standing by the entrance and encircling the white tiger standoffishly. The white tiger lay carelessly half-slumped on the ground, while the guards appeared to be on high alert, holding curved knives, ready for action.

"White tiger, let’s go!"

Cai Wei hopped effortlessly onto the white tiger’s back. The tiger roared like thunder, causing the ground to quake. The guards grabbed their ears with their hands due to the deafening roar; an abundance of them toppled onto the ground, their weapons scattered everywhere.

In the chaos, the white tiger boosted off the ground, rocketed out of the encirclement, and swiftly headed towards the south...

Although she wasn’t able to convince Tuoba Kui to surrender tonight, she believed that at the very least, she had planted a seed of fear and uncertainty in his heart. Surrender is inevitable, just a matter of time.

"Master, where are we going? Returning to the camp or finding King Qin?"

"No, we’re heading to Qing County."

She had done everything she needed to do. Even without her, she was confident that Nangong Yi could handle the warfare alone. She didn’t get involved because she wanted him to gain the honor in this battle, and did not wish for one day others to credit the victory of conquering Lingbei to her, thus providing material for those who had ulterior motives to criticize.

The distance from Lingbei to Qing County was short, and they arrived after a bit more than a shi chen. At this time, it was the dead of the night, and all the citizens were asleep. The white tiger boldly ran into the streets and let Cai Wei dismount. Cai Wei then entered the space after sending the white tiger in.

At this moment, it was still a while before daylight. She took the opportunity to practice her martial arts skills for a while, then she bathed, and finally, settled into sleep...

Meanwhile, a few hundred miles away, at Yushu County Town,

Two young women were soundly asleep in the Auspicious Inn. Suddenly, faint sounds could be heard from outside the window followed by a wisp of smoke carrying a light fragrance blowing into the room. Luo Xue, who was sharing the room, opened her eyes abruptly and quickly sat up. She shook the sleeping maid next to her, saying, "Yu’er, hurry up and get up, there are bad people!"
