I'll Treat Your Entire Army to the Finest Food and Drink

Who would believe that a 6-year-old child is this amazing?

They were talking enthusiastically when they suddenly realized that the hot air balloon was falling straight down.

Amur shouted, "Danger! What's wrong with this hot air balloon? Quickly add stuff!"

The person controlling the hot air balloon shook his head and said, "I don't know what's wrong either. There's a problem with this hot air balloon today."

The hot air balloon was quickly pulled to the ground. Amur looked at General Who Proclaims Might and Ever-Victorious General and said:

What are you two doing here?

"I've been busy in the heavens all day, and you're here drinking tea? Is this appropriate?"

Indeed, tea was brewing in front of the Ever-Victorious General and the General Who Proclaims Might, along with many pastries.

The Ever-Victorious General looked at Amur and said, "If we told you that we've all been arrested, would you believe us?"

Amur rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think I'm stupid? If I were arrested, would you be allowed to eat and drink well? I'd have my head chopped off already, okay?"

General Who Proclaims Might sighed and said, "Alright, stop fussing. We've lost this time. All 400,000 troops are trapped in this city."

Amur frowned and said, "Impossible! How many people are there at Yanmen Pass? We have 400,000 troops!"

Zhou Wanwan slowly walked out of the inner room and said, "Isn't this General Amur? Long time no see!"

General Who Proclaims Might asked, "Amur, do you know her?"

Amur sighed and said, "Zhou Wanwan, the little tyrant of the capital, Zhou Wanwan, you'd better let us out right now."

Zhou Wanwan looked at Amur and said:

"Serve tea to General Amur. I haven't decided how to deal with you yet—whether to kill you all!"

"I'll have you farm for me."

Amur clenched his fist and said, "Zhou Wanwan, don't go too far. If you know what's good for you, let us go right now, or you'll be sorry."

Zhou Wanwan looked at Amur and said:

"You think you can make me look bad? How do you plan to make me look bad?"

Amur, you three are in cahoots, trying to devour my Great Xia? You're dreaming!

Amur looked at Zhou Wanwan and said:

"Your Great Xia emperor is a dog, incompetent and foolish; he should have stepped down long ago."

How about this? If you're willing to come back to the Mobei Uyghur with me, I'll have our king bestow upon you the title of princess.

Zhou Wanwan snorted coldly:

"The Mobei Uyghur? Just how poor are you Mobei Uyghur?"

Don't you know the truth yourself? How dare you say that?

The Mobei Uyghur were indeed poor. Mobei is mainly desert with barren land that is unsuitable for farming.

Actually, the land in the Mobei Uyghur is similar to the land around Yanmen Pass, so it's definitely possible to grow crops there.

If Zhou Wanwan goes, she'll definitely be able to grow it; it's uncertain for others.

General Who Proclaims Might looked at Zhou Wanwan and said:

"Miss Wanwan, you see, we became friends after a fight."

"If you're willing to go to my Great Qi, I'll have the King of Great Qi bestow upon you the title of princess. What do you think?"

Zhou Wanwan pouted and said:

"You've asked the King of Great Qi to bestow upon me the title of princess, do you think he'll listen to you?"

Anyone who didn't know better would think you were the ruler of the Great Qi!

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said:

"However, your soldiers are quite good; I don't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately."

"If you're willing to bring these soldiers with you, I can spare your lives."

The three men exchanged glances. General Who Proclaims Might said, "Are you telling the truth? If we're willing to follow you, you'll spare our lives?"

Zhou Wanwan waved her hand, and Qin Shan brought over several contracts.

Zhou Wanwan said:

"Take a look at what's written on these contracts first!"

Wait until you've thought it through before signing. Once you sign, we'll have a contractual relationship.

"If you lack a sense of contractual obligation, I will not let you off the hook."

The three of them took the contract and read it carefully.

After seeing the three men, their faces turned green. General Who Proclaims Might said, "Isn't your request inappropriate? To make us your slaves, and for life at that? I won't do it."

The Ever-Victorious General standing beside him also stood up and said, "A scholar can be killed but not humiliated. Do you believe I can kill you with one stroke?"

The Ever-Victorious General drew his sword, but just as he was about to make a move, he found his wrist was in excruciating pain. With a clang, the sword fell to the ground.

The Ever-Victorious General's face changed color. "Ouch, ouch, ouch, I was wrong, I was wrong!"

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly at them and said, "You can sign today or you can not. If you sign, you still have a way to live; if you don't sign, you're doomed."

Amur looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Aren't you forcing us to betray our country?"

Once this contract is signed, it will become leverage, leverage forever.

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "You still have a choice! If you don't sign, then more than 400,000 soldiers will be wiped out."

Zhou Wanwan was unwilling to take this step; after all, she couldn't bear to kill so many people.

But if they don't sign, Zhou Wanwan has no other choice.

The three of them finally signed the contract, Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said:

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with signing the contract. I know you're not doing well in your country."

We're on the same side now, and I'll do everything I can to help you.

Amur sighed, "Master, you're only six years old! What can you do to help us? Can you feed us? Can you keep us warm?"

Even the Ever-Victorious General said helplessly:

"You should know that we are all people who have been abandoned by our own country."

Although I have hundreds of thousands of brothers under my command, look at them! They're dressed in coarse cloth, without even proper armor, and they're all starving.

Amur continued:

"Otherwise, we wouldn't have rebelled. We originally planned to take these cities."

We managed to salvage some food, more or less, but I never imagined it would turn out like this.

Nobody wants to go to war.

But not fighting meant starvation and freezing. These three men weren't inherently bad; they were just forced into it by life's hardships.

General Who Proclaims Might also said:

"Actually, everyone is the same; life on the border is inherently difficult."

The imperial court doesn't take us seriously; they just keep exploiting us.

We Border Pass Army have no choice but to fight if we want to have food to eat.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the three of them and said:

Who told you that Border Pass Army can only get food by fighting?

If you're willing to follow me, I'll treat you to the best of everything.

I'll treat your entire unit to the best of everything.

The three exchanged glances, Amur spoke first, "How could that be? No one would dare say such a thing."

Zhou Wanwan smiled at Amur and said, "If you don't believe me, then forget it, but actually you know me best."

Amur remained silent for a long while before saying, "I am willing to serve you as my master. If I break this oath, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"

The Ever-Victorious General's lips twitched as he said, "Amur, you're going too far! You've made such a ruthless oath, what are we supposed to do?"
