"What I said is true!" Seeing that he was confused, Aaron was shocked and angry, and hurriedly shouted: "If you don't believe me, just send someone to Puding Fort to have a look. You can't kill people indiscriminately!"
"Stop." Liu Shouzhu stopped his men and said coldly: "Tie him up first and send someone to take a look."
"Yes." The men then put away their knives and tied Aaron to a tree. In order to prevent him from shouting and attracting enemy troops, they also blocked his mouth with a ball of grass.
Then Liu Shuzhu sent a few of his cronies to quietly explore outside Puding Fort. After a while, they turned back and said with joy on their faces: "Naiye, Puding Fort is indeed ours!"
"Are you sure?" Liu Shouzhu was surprised and happy, in disbelief.
"Very sure," the leading confidant said excitedly: "Let's observe from a distance first. We saw that the fort gate was closed tightly. The soldiers patrolling above were all wearing our black robes from Shuidong and Shuixi, not the white robes from the Puding Department.
.”
"Later I had the courage to show up and shout to the top outside the fort." The confidant danced and said: "After a while, Shexiang Naiye and Shuixi's old Bimo showed up and said that Puding Fort had been beaten by them.
Now that we're down, Shexiang Naoye also asked Naoye to quickly go to the city and meet up."
As he said that, he took out another letter from his arms, presented it to Liu Shuzhu with both hands and said: "Shexiang Naiye said that Naiye never trusts others easily, so I wrote this letter to you. You will know after you read it."
Liu Shuzhu hurriedly took the letter, tore open the cover and took out the letter paper. Sure enough, it was Shexiang's familiar handwriting. It briefly told what happened, and also mentioned their agreement, asking her to come quickly to receive the credit.
Being plucked from peaches...
Liu Shouzhu knew that this was definitely not forced to write, otherwise Shexiang would never have mentioned their bet in the letter. Now she finally believed it.
The tribesmen on the side did not dare to breathe. They looked at their own Noye who was concentrating on reading the letter, frowning in deep thought. It was not until she raised her head and showed her face that they dared to ask: "How about Noye, is it true or not?"
"It's true." Liu Shouzhu raised the letter in his hand high and announced excitedly: "Shexiang Naoye has really captured Puding Fort! We will join you in the fort now!"
"Great!" All the tribesmen cheered and felt so honored. Who doesn't want to have a god-like teammate to lead them to win? What's more, they didn't win by lying down, but by running.
Everyone was in high spirits, their fatigue was gone, and the team was ready to go in a blink of an eye.
Before setting off, Liu Shuzhu always felt that she had forgotten something, and it took her a while to remember that Aaron was still tied behind a tree.
"Oh, why did you forget him?" Mrs. Liu slapped her forehead and quickly asked someone to let Along go.
After a while, Alon, who looked aggrieved, was brought to her, and Liu Shuzhu apologized in person.
"I'm sorry, Brother Aaron, for making you feel wronged."
Among the strictly hierarchical Luo Luo people, Noha, who is the first class, will not apologize to those below her.
Aaron's resentment disappeared immediately and he was flattered and said: "No, it's nothing. Liu Naiye is right to be cautious, after all. Anyone who hears this will feel outrageous. Even a villain will feel like it's like a dream."
"That's it." Liu Shouzhu sighed softly: "It's a pity that I'm not there..."
~~
Before evening, Liu Shuzhu led nearly 2,000 troops to the foot of Puding Fort.
With the sound of rolling, the suspension bridge slowly lowered, revealing the tall figure of Mrs. Shexiang.
"Sister!" Shexiang called excitedly first.
"Sister!" Liu Shuzhu also walked forward quickly, walked across the suspension bridge, and excitedly held hands with Shexiang.
She looked up and down at Shexiang, and when she saw that she was in good condition, she choked and said, "It's great that you're okay. You've worried me so much these past few days."
"My sister is worried." Shexiang also felt distressed and said, "Look, you have lost your weight."
"What do you want me to do? Let's talk about yourself, sister." Liu Shuzhu seemed to be back when she was a girl at home, chattering very fast, like an oriole.
"Didn't you say you came to protect His Royal Highness the King of Chu? Why did you change your position to attack Puding Fort and still defeat it?"
"Well," Shexiang shook Liu Shouzhu's hand hard and then said solemnly: "It was the ghost king who entrusted me with a dream and asked me to take action on the night of the Ghost Festival. He said that he would send a ghost army to help, so I followed the order.
.”
"Wow..." Liu Shouzhu cooperated knowingly: "Did there really be a ghost army to help that night?"
"Yes, otherwise how could we capture the Puding Fort without any injuries?" Shexiang nodded and said: "Actually, all the Puding tribesmen in the fort were moved out of the city by the ghost army. We occupied an empty city.
.”
"So there are no prisoners?" Liu Shouzhu said with some regret, "It would be great if we could catch that evil thief Shi'er."
"No, only Shi'er was left behind and became our prisoner." Shexiang shook her head.
"What, Shi'er was captured? And she was the only one captured?!" Liu Shuzhu was so shocked that she could squeeze an egg into her mouth. "This is amazing..."
Although she knew that Shexiang was deliberately creating myths, after hearing this, she really felt that there were gods helping secretly. Not to mention that her tribesmen were all in awe, and no one dared to look directly at Mrs. Shexiang anymore.
.
What Shexiang wanted was this effect. According to His Royal Highness King Chu's earnest instruction, she not only had to repeatedly exaggerate this myth herself, but also asked people like Liu Shuzhu, Lao Bimo and others to help promote it. Eventually, it would reach Shuidong, Shuixi and even all
To the extent that everyone in Luoluo believed it, she also possessed divinity...
~~
After entering Puding Fort, the army settled in Longzan, and Shexiang took Liu Shuzhu to pay homage to the King of Chu.
On the way, She Xiangcai whispered the truth to Mr. Liu. After hearing this, Liu Shouzhu suddenly realized: "Your Highness really didn't lie. The Marquis of Xiping really has a conspiracy."
"His Highness must keep his word, how could he lie?" She Xiang said with admiration: "Actually, it is all the credit of His Highness. We did almost nothing to occupy this Puding Fort. But he gave up all the credit.
Gave it to both of us..."
"Do you still have my share?" Liu Shuzhu whispered with a complicated expression.
"Of course, we made the bet with them together, and of course we have to win together." Shexiang smiled and said: "Besides, we are acting together, but the division of labor is different. If you didn't take charge in Guizhou, I would
You don't dare to lead the troops out with confidence, do you? You were the first to support me, so that I have the confidence to defend Puding Fort."
"So I don't dare to monopolize the credit given by His Highness. I won't get half of it from you anyway." Shexiang held Mrs. Liu's hand and smiled.
"Sister, you are really good at talking." A heartfelt smile broke out on Liu Shouzhu's face, and she held Shexiang's arm tightly.
Although it is actually a peach picked for free, the same thing coming from Shexiang's mouth makes people feel at ease. "Sister knows that sister is good for me, and I will listen to her."
"I don't dare to take credit. His Highness gave you the credit. Don't make a mistake." Shexiang said with a smile.
"How can I not be seen in His Highness's eyes? I am not the elder sister helping my younger sister?" Liu Shuzhu must have thanked her in full, but she felt a little sour in her heart.
