Chapter 409: The Han Army’s Expedition! (5)
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
What truly concerned her was the Knight Mercenary Group.
As someone who led a combat team, she couldn’t be unaware of the reputation of the Knight Mercenary Group.
In her eyes, such a large mercenary group was already an incredibly formidable force, not to mention the additional six hundred regular soldiers!
“What should we do?!”
“Should we surrender?!”
Meng Xian was utterly panicked and paced back and forth anxiously, muttering to herself.
“Zhao Yu, I’ll send someone right now to see if we can negotiate with the Han
family…”
“If that doesn’t work, we should run away right away!”
Meng Xian was genuinely scared. She had never been war like this in her life.
A thousand-man army, even as a third-tier enhancer, it was unimaginable for
her.
“Stay calm. Why should we be afraid?1‘
Zhao Yu said calmly.
Meng Xian feel a mix of grievance and frustration. If it wasn’t for Zhao Yu’s stubbornness in taking down Wild Wolf Town, they wouldn’t be in this situation…
“Wait, are you sure?”
She quickly realized something. Zhao Yu had taken down Wild Wolf Town.
That meant he had significant strength!
“What else do you think I’m doing with all this troop?
“You really plan to fight them?!” Meng Xian was shocked.
“What else?”
Zhao Yu was baffled by this woman’s train of thought, fluctuating between surrender and questioning his strength.
“Can we really do this?” she asked, fraught with anxiety.
“How about a bet?”
“A bet?!” Meng Xian didn’t expect Zhao Yu to suggest such a thing at this time.
Zhao Yu glanced at her and said with a faint smile, “If I win, how about the
Meng house village joins my camp?”
“Ah?”
Meng Xian was not expecting Zhao Yu to make such a proposal under these circ.u.mstances.
These past few days, she had noticed the unrest among the people in the Meng house village.
She had also considered the idea of merging the Meng house village into Zhao Family Town.
But her pride made it difficult for her to contemplate it deeply.
This time, she didn’t respond immediately but began to weigh the pros and cons of the matter.
If Zhao Yu wins, it would prove his unimaginable strength, and merging with
Zhao Family Town wouldn’t seem like a big deal.
With his protection, her people could also live in peace.
At least, in the past few days, many envied the residents of Zhao Family Town for having stable jobs and salaries.
If Zhao Yu fails… then they would flee!
Meng Xian thought about it and seemed to find the idea acceptable.
“Okay, I’ll bet with you. If you win, my Meng House Village will merge with your Zhao Family Town…”
“But if you lose, how about you join me instead?
“You want me to join you?”
“Is that not okay?” Meng Xian smiled and said, “I’ve never said something like this to any other man before…”
Zhao Yu chuckled upon hearing this and said, “Then let’s change the bet…”
“State it.” Meng Xian was curious.
“How about this? If I win, I don’t want your Meng Family Village; I want you!” “Ah?!” Meng Xian blushed, not expecting Zhao Yu to be so straightforward. Zhao Yu didn’t think much of it; he just felt that Meng Xian, being a third-tier enhancer, was strong despite lacking military skills. Having her on his side would fill a gap in his capabilities.
“This…” Meng Xian walked around nervously, misunderstanding Zhao Yu’s intention and thinking he wanted her personally.
“Reluctant?”
“No, it’s not that…”
Meng Xian was fl.u.s.tered, not expecting Zhao Yu to be interested in her. After all, Zhao Yu’s ex-wife and two sisters-in-law were still in the Meng House Village.
She had just prevented Zhao Yu’s ex-wife from meeting him, and now she was about to become Zhao Yu’s wife. What would the Xu sisters think of her?
No, I may not lose!
Meng Xian thought it over. The Han family’s combat strength was not weak; Zhao Yu might not win.
If Zhao Yu lost, then he would be hers, and she could use his military to her advantage.
In her view, Zhao Yu was a military genius, capable of recruiting soldiers.
With Zhao Yu, her future ambitions to expand and strengthen would have a foundation.
She realized this was a high-stakes gamble. If she won, Zhao Yu and his forces would be hers, strengthening the Meng House Village.
If Zhao Yu won, she would belong to Zhao Yu, enhancing Zhao Family Town.
Thinking this, she bit her lip and said, “Let’s go all in!
“If I win, you and your soldiers are mine…”
“If I lose, the Meng House Village and I are yours, how about that?”
“That doesn’t seem fair, does it?”
“Your Meng House Village has only a few people, at most two hundred. I have six thousand under me…”
Meng Xian blushed, realizing the disparity in their bets.
Seeing her flushed cheeks, Zhao Yu had an odd look in his eyes. Did she think he wanted her physically?
With this realization, he understood Meng Xian’s perspective and knew she had such thoughts about him.
He felt a stir in his heart and then said, “However, if it’s you, I can accept this inequality!”
His words, initially meant as a probe, caused Meng Xian’s face turned pinky, not only that, but she also exuded a shy and charming aura.
So that’s how it is!
Zhao Yu nodded to himself, understanding that she had long harbored such thoughts.
If he could win her over, it seemed more secure than a mere subordinate relations.h.i.+p.
Meng Xian finally stammered:
“I… I agree to your terms….”
