Chapter 580 Granting Fame and Fortune (Part 1)
Having escaped the camp, Sun Yixie felt as if he had been granted a pardon. As he put on his helmet and mounted his horse, he secretly rejoiced: "Luckily, Brother Huang came to challenge me at this time. If it had been any later, I would have been in a difficult situation."
After the initial shock, he began to think... whether he could take advantage of this opportunity to go into battle and deliberately get captured so he could escape back to the Ming army.
At this point, some people might be asking, "Wasn't Brother Sun doing a great job as an undercover agent? He seemed to be playing himself perfectly, like a fish in water. Why did he suddenly back down?"
It's very simple. It was the whole thing that Fairy Shuiyuan did to him just now that made him sense the danger.
First of all, on the surface, Shui Yuanxianzi is the favored concubine of Prince Yong; no matter how much the prince likes Sun Yixie, it is impossible for them to have a relationship like that of sleeping in the same bed.
If things continue like this, what should he do if Fairy Shuiyuan comes looking for him again?
If he offended the Water Fairy, she could easily whisper something in the prince's ear and Sun Yixie could lose his head; but if he didn't offend the Water Fairy, he would offend the prince, and if things were exposed, Sun Yixie would still lose his head.
Of course, you could say: if he satisfied the Water Fairy without the prince finding out, just like many other people around the prince who had been sexually exploited, then there would be no problem, right?
But this is actually just an outsider's perspective combined with a gambler's mentality—when the same thing actually happens to you, you can't think about it that way; you have to think about the worst-case scenario first.
Moreover, aside from the "overt" crisis, Sun Yixie already knew in secret that the Water Fairy belonged to the category of "demons and monsters," so he was even less likely to take the risk with wishful thinking.
From Brother Sun's perspective, this woman was probably literally trying to "eat" him up. Would he give in?
Furthermore, the other people around the prince who had been drained of their life force by the Water Fairy did not actually live for long. For example, those who were keeping watch for the Water Fairy outside the tent today were all drained of their life force. Generally speaking, people whose souls have been taken by the demonic path will not live long if no one comes to their rescue. Even if the Water Fairy does not completely devour them, they will not live long and will obey the Water Fairy until their death.
It just so happens that Tawu is a scoundrel, and many of his servants are killed because of his frivolous behavior. The servants are replaced almost every year, so he has no idea which deaths are related to Fairy Shuiyuan.
In short, Sun Yixie's idea was not wrong. If Fairy Shuiyuan really had her eye on him and insisted on "tasting" him, then he should not stay on the Yuan army's side for long.
But... is reality really like that?
No.
After that "seduction," Fairy Shuiyuan had already determined that Sun Yixie had a physiological problem, so she had actually given up.
What, you're asking how she gave up so quickly?
Isn't it obvious? They've been doing this business for so many years! It's a century-old establishment; their experience speaks for itself.
In the eyes of Fairy Shuiyuan, apart from those with physiological problems and cultivators who have seen through their true forms... there is no man in this world who can withstand her offensive just now; and a villain like "Kameda Ichimine" could not possibly be a cultivator, it is more likely that he is a fellow practitioner of the demonic path, so the only remaining conclusion is that he has a physiological problem.
Of course, Sun Yixie was unaware of her thoughts at that moment.
Back to the present, with the help of several soldiers, Sun Yixie had already donned his armor and mounted his horse. Then he led the "Feng" battalion to the outside of the camp.
Looking into the distance, the Ming army opposite... really only consisted of "a small force," estimated to be less than a hundred men.
Huang Donglai was at the very front of that group, holding a homemade high-tech megaphone and shouting insults.
Sun Yixie glanced at him and thought to himself, "This bastard is something else. He even went out of his way to get a megaphone so he can start cursing from this far away. We can't even reach him if we want to shoot him from the side."
He was already plotting a sneak attack, but on the surface he appeared righteous and full of heroic spirit: "Hmph! A mere rat dares to boast on the battlefield!" As he spoke, he turned around and ordered, "You all stay here and don't move. Watch this general go up and meet him single-handedly!"
"Yes, sir!" His men were obedient this time. After all, they had been training all morning and were in sore all over. Who would want to go up now?
Two seconds later, Sun Yixie shouted "Giddy up!" and rode off alone.
As we mentioned earlier, his intention was to be captured, so this action is not surprising.
But Huang Donglai didn't think so. He came today with Feng Manlou's "mission" and had made a lot of "arrangements" beforehand. Besides, he didn't know that Sun Yixie was suddenly going to "retreat".
therefore……
"Damn it! You little thief Kameda! You actually dare to come!" Huang Donglai saw Sun Yixie getting closer and closer, and vaguely guessed what this guy might be up to, so he quickly used this curse to slow down Brother Sun's advance.
Upon hearing this, Sun Yixie thought to himself, "What's going on? Why are we putting on this show now that we're here?"
Huang Donglai quickly dispelled his doubts: "You were lucky last time. Today, let's see if I can fight you for another three hundred rounds!" He shouted as he picked up his weapon and spurred his horse into battle.
"Hmph! You spineless thief! You've come at the right time. Don't try to run away this time!" Sun Yixie thought, seeing the other party coming up, he might as well cooperate. It would be good to get closer and exchange some information.
And so, the two pretended to fight again, and this time, because they were farther away from the Yuan army, it was easier for them to talk.
Sun Yixie felt that his situation was urgent, so he rushed to tell the story about the Water Fairy first, and then said, "There are demons over there, I'm not playing anymore," and asked to be captured.
Actually, his request was quite reasonable, because Yibula's entire offensive plan had already been largely ruined by his series of actions, including "leaking secrets in advance," "offering a false victory," "reporting military intelligence falsely," and "betraying his teammates." In addition, after Tawu arrived, the Yuan army was thrown into chaos and riddled with contradictions due to his "petty smugness"... Having achieved this much, his undercover operation was already quite successful, and he could retire gracefully.
However, it was precisely because he talked about the Water Fairy that Huang Donglai came up with a new problem.
"Are you sure? The woman closest to Prince Beiyuan Yong is actually a demon?" Huang Donglai asked again to confirm.
“How could I be wrong?” Sun Yixie said. “Let me tell you… it’s just me today. Anyone else would have already fallen for her trick.”
"Hmm..." Huang Donglai thought for a moment and blurted out, "Then you can't leave even more."
"What?" Sun Yixie asked. "What do you mean?"
“Now that you mention it, I’ve thought about it again… perhaps after we return from Europe, we’ll end up in the Yuan army camp. It’s not that my master made a mistake; he did it on purpose,” Huang Donglai said. “He foresaw that demons and evil spirits would bewitch the Northern Yuan royal family and would appear here, which is why he made this move.”
“You motherfucker!” Sun Yixie cursed, “That’s your Xuanqi Sect’s business, what does it have to do with me?”
"Hey!" Huang Donglai's voice rose as well. "When you plotted against my master and pulled that 'swap' move, didn't you even ask if the Xuanqi Sect had anything to do with it?" He paused. "Besides... isn't my business your business? I'm asking you, we're all brothers, shouldn't we be of one mind?"
“Hmph…” Sun Yixie immediately began to sneer, “Hehehe…hahahaha…” This laughter gradually turned into a somewhat manic, bitter laugh.
Of course, he didn't say anything more.
He knew that if he continued to argue about this point, the other party might bring up "Yandengpo Backhand Berserker Axe" in the next sentence.
"Sigh...alright, alright...we're all in this together." After laughing and letting out a long sigh, Sun Yixie asked again, "So, tell me, what are your plans now?"
“That’s easy…” Huang Donglai’s eyes darted around, and he came up with a plan. “Let’s switch… Today I won’t capture you, you capture me.”
"Oh?" Sun Yixie understood the other party's meaning almost instantly. "Hmm... then let's exchange a few more moves, and then you can pretend to fall off your horse?"
"No, no, no..." Huang Donglai said, "I have other plans today, you'll be back in a bit..."
As for what he said next, to put it simply, it was "like this and like that," and after he quickly finished explaining, Sun Yixie nodded in agreement.
The two exchanged a few more blows, and then, surprisingly, Sun Yixie adopted a defeated posture, let out a strange cry, turned his horse around, and began to run back.
