Chapter 1445: Equal Treatment
Wang Qingchen and Su Yu stood side by side, and behind them stood eight generals. They were the commanders of the soldiers guarding each side of the city.
In spite of their age and experience, they respectfully obeyed the command of the silver-haired youth.
“Brother Su, how will Nitian Hanxing attack Sheng Capital?” Wang Qingchen couldn’t help but wonder.
The underground passage had collapsed, and countless spells had been arranged outside the city for years now.
Su Yu stood up straight amongst the clouds, and looking in all four directions, said, “His strategy is not so difficult to guess, but the method is rather crazy, and ordinary people would not even think of it.”
Wang Qingchen understood as he swept a glance at the many soldiers behind him, and stopped asking more questions.
“Generals, act only according to my instructions. This time, we will teach Nitian Hanxing a lesson.”
The preparations lasted for a full three days and nights. Su Yu visited the sites from time to time to supervise.
“Reporting to Commander Su! We have caught one of the enemies from the God’s Realm,” a commander announced as he carefully watched for Su Yu’s reaction.
Recently, they had captured some scouts from the God Realm but they were all were killed by their leader on the spot.
This person needed to report this to Su Yu, he knew something was odd. Su Yu said, “Go on.”
“He claimed to surrender to us, and he offered something to show his loyalty. His only wish was for our Wizard Tribe to accept him,” the commander said.
Rebel? Su Yu was not surprised. Nitian Hanxing was especially ruthless in the way he handled things. If a general of his made a mistake, he would likely be killed.
If some of the generals had made a mistake and wanted to avoid death, it was normal to have defections.
“You can also handle this matter yourself,” Su Yu said.
“However, the other party wants to see the supreme commander, which is Commander Su,” the commander said.
Su Yu was surprised and said, “See me? Does he want to give me something special to gain my trust? Okay then, take him to the barracks.”
Soon, Guo Cheng was escorted to the central tent where Commander Su was sitting.
“In order to prevent you from doing anything to our commander-in-chief, stay outside the tent, and speak,” the commander said as he personally watched over him.
Looking through the tent, Guo Cheng saw a figure sitting cross-legged inside and thought, “So this is the most senior commander of the Wizard Tribe in Sheng Capital. Is he the Wang Clan Master? If I can gain his trust, not only will I make it big but also find a safe place to live. This should not be too much of a problem.”
Once satisfied with his own analysis, Guo Cheng dropped to his knees and said, “I am Guo Cheng, the former general under Nitian Guyun, paying respects to the commander-in-chief of the Wizard Tribe.”
Guo Cheng? Su Yu in the tent had already seen who this person was and he was not that surprised.
COMMENT
In the past, he had made a plan to escape from their siege. General Guo Cheng should have escaped then. It was such a coincidence that he had decided to come to Sheng Capital and throw his loyalty there.
Feeling a tad cheeky, Su Yu used magical power to change his voice slightly and said, “So, do you mean that you are betraying Nitian Hanxing?”
Guo Cheng knew that the critical moment had come, and he responded carefully in an awe-inspiring tone, “Reporting to the commander, we feel indignant against the cruelty of Nitian Guyun, so we abandon that place.”
“Oh? How can I know that you are not a spy sent by the Nitian Hanxing?”
Guo Cheng resisted the excitement he felt and presented a jade-like item that had a small cavern world in it. “You will understand when you see this thing.”
The soldiers took the jade pendant and placed it in Su Yu’s palm.
His soul swept into the small cavern world and Su Yu couldn’t help but be surprised. “Is it her?” he said.
In the small cavern world, a woman in a red robe decorated with phoenix motifs and a beautiful phoenix crown on her head was imprisoned. She looked exceptionally beautiful and was dressed like a bride!
Even more coincidental was that Su Yu just happened to know that the bride was no one other than Xue Xiaoman, the governor of the Xue Nation in the Northern Territory.
He was a little surprised. Su Yu put away the jade pendant quietly and said, “Who is she?”
Guo Cheng said proudly, “Reporting to the commander-in-chief, she is the bride of the marriage between the Northern Territory’s Xue Nation and the Heaven-defying Empire, Xue Xiaoman! She is the governor of the Xue Nation of the Northern Territory! She has a special status as she is a woman who is valued by the Nitian Hanxing. To truly understand the man, I believe she will be one of the best spies we can use.”
What is Nitian Hanxing like as a person? Lecherous as hell, even his own mother he refused to let go. He could certainly be called the reincarnation of the devil.
Given his character, he would never hand over his women to outsiders.
“I believe in your sincerity.” Su Yu seemed to smile a little.
The unsuspecting Guo Cheng was overjoyed, “I do have one more request that I hope that the commander-in-chief will consider! My brothers and another general are also willing to submit to the Sheng Capital and serve you well.”
Su Yu stood up and smiled with the tent as a barrier and said, “You are sincere enough to want to be loyal to me and I will most definitely treat you as a distinguished guest. However, what kind of treatment do you want?”
Guo Cheng felt in his heart that he was secure. The other party in the tent was the commander-in-chief. Once he gave the order, it would not be rescinded.
The next step was to talk about the terms.
After thinking about it, Guo Cheng did not dare to ask for too much, but he was not willing to go too low either. His eyes turned a little as he said, “I have heard that Su Yu from my God’s realm is treated well in the Wizard Tribe. We dare not expect too much and simply ask to be treated as well as he is.”
Hearing these words, the two commanders outside the tent rolled their eyes. “What a fine fellow!” one of them said. “You really dare to ask? There can only be one commander in Sheng Capital. How can it be possible to divide the power in half!”
“How dare you,” the other commander yelled and hurriedly pinned him down.
Guo Cheng was shocked and said anxiously, “Wait! If my request is too much, I can lower it. We can be treated slightly worse than Su Yu, it does not matter!”
The two commanders laughed out loud. A bit lower than the commander-in-chief? Isn’t that the deputy commander-in-chief? He was still riding on their necks.
Seeing that the two commanders were angry, Guo Cheng stubbornly said, “I am after all a God of the Level Three Realm. Isn’t even a common god’s treatment possible for me?”
The two commanders didn’t care anymore. Fearing that Su Yu would be further annoyed, they hurriedly pinned him down.
“Slow down,” Su Yu said as he walked out with a smile. “General Guo Cheng, how have you been?”
Guo Cheng was stunned, “Since when did that voice change? And, it sounded eerily familiar!”
He took a closer look and Guo Cheng’s eyes almost fell out of their sockets. Startled, he exclaimed, “Su Yu!”
“How dare you to call the commander by his name!” one of the commanders said as he kicked him hard.
Guo Cheng fell to the ground and was nevertheless, still shocked. “You? Are you their commander?”
Something that could not be believed had actually appeared before his eyes.
Su Yu waved the sleeve of his robe, and a gentle force lifted him up. He said with a smile, “So, I am afraid that if I granted you treatment the same as mine, there would not be enough to go around to split between three people.”
After hearing these words, Guo Cheng was shocked and immediately thought about it as his face rapidly turned pale.
They had treated Su Yu badly in those days. If he wanted to settle old scores it could be bad for them. Thinking of this, Guo Cheng wanted to cry, albeit without tears.
He had literally had walked himself into the tiger’s den!
“Su Yu, I accept my fate. To die in your hands would be better than to live in the hands of Nitian Hanxing,” Guo Cheng said. He sat on the ground, motionless, as he completely dismissed the idea of resistance from his mind.
