The Female General and the Thief Official

As dawn broke, Huaqi, still half-asleep, felt a wet, stinging sensation on her face. She opened her eyes slightly and saw Hu Peng kissing her. She quickly turned away, pushing him away, only to feel another throbbing pain in her rear. She let out a soft groan. Seeing that she was awake, Hu Peng chuckled, "You enjoyed being fucked by me yesterday, didn't you? I'm getting hot again, I need to play a little more..." He then began to knead Huaqi's buttocks. Huaqi's rear felt even more swollen, and she remembered that she still had a fertilized egg inserted. She could only plead, "No...! I... my back hurts, I can't... I really can't..." Her face flushed crimson as she finished speaking. Seeing that he was clearly frightened, Hu Peng deliberately teased, "Oh... behind! Where is behind? What can't you do? If you don't explain clearly, I can't hold back! Hehe..." Hua Qi blushed and lifted the satin quilt to cover her face. Hu Peng crawled under the quilt, coaxing and threatening her. If she didn't comply, he would force himself on her. Hua Qi whispered in his ear, her voice barely audible, saying things like, "My little hole still hurts, I can't let Hu Peng's big cock penetrate me again." Hu Peng listened to Hua Qi's seductive words with enjoyment, secretly pleased that this young master of the Hua family would slowly turn into a seductive vixen. He felt his penis swell even more and couldn't go down. He thought to himself, "I might as well strike while the iron is hot, try a different way to play with him, and teach him a lesson so I can control him later!" Hu Peng hugged Hua Qi and whispered with a smile, "My wife's little hole can't be used, then wouldn't your husband be going crazy with pent-up desire? I'll let your little golden lotuses do the work for you, hehe..." Hua Qi trembled in fright, pulling her feet under the covers and pleading, "If I don't show these little feet to my husband, who will I show them to! ... What are you so shy about? Seeing how you're bound every day, let me help you loosen them up a bit... hehe..." Hu Peng quickly pulled Hua Qi's little feet out from under the red brocade quilt, grabbed her ankles, and quickly stripped off her slippers and socks. He then tore off the white silk bindings, revealing two feet as white and tender as bamboo shoots. Only the big toe was slightly upturned, while the other four toes were folded into the soles of the feet. The insteps were arched and slender, while the heels were round and plump. Holding them in his hands, they truly resembled a pair of pointed lotus petals. With a slight movement of her feet, her toes and big toes twisted, making her appear even more delicate and pitiful. Hu Peng couldn't bear to part with her, kissing and smelling her, pressing her feet against his face and rubbing them. After kneading her heels, he played with her toes for a while, until Hua Qi rolled around and begged for mercy from the ticklishness. "Hehe... alright, alright, let's have a little battle with your hooks and my iron rod, hehe..." Hu Peng said, putting Hua Qi's two soles together and placing them under his lower abdomen. He thrust his penis in and out of the crevices between her soles, grinding it repeatedly. Hua Qi's soles were full of tender flesh and curled little toes, and the hard penis made her unbearably itchy, sending waves of tingling sensations straight to her heart and brain. She couldn't help but moan. Hu Peng was so engrossed in thrusting that he didn't care about Hua Qi's life or death. Seeing her lying on the bed with her hands flailing around, her shame and confusion making her appear even more delicate, only fueled his lust. He panted heavily as he thrust in and out, then used Hua Qi's legs to rub and squeeze his penis back and forth. Huaqi lay limp on the mattress, only able to moan and plead. Hu Peng shouted a few times, pressed the soles of Huaqi's feet against his glans, and gushed hot, thick semen over her feet, which flowed down her legs. Hu Peng then used his penis to scrape and wipe her feet, coating them with semen, before putting them down. He turned and grabbed the pile of silk ribbons that Huaqi had used to bind her feet, wiping them with his penis, and laughed, "I never thought your little feet were so supple and fun to play with. After being nourished by my semen a few more times, they'll probably become even whiter, more tender, and smoother, hahaha... hahaha..." He laughed as he got up, dressed, and left satisfied. Huaqi, seeing her feet being so lewdly played with, felt terribly ashamed, her feet feeling wet, cold, and filthy. Hearing him finally leave, she realized the maids were coming. Afraid they would see, she got up and wiped the semen from her feet with a silk handkerchief. Looking at her bound feet, which resembled two small, pointed dumplings, she felt utterly hopeless and tears streamed down her face. Hearing many footsteps outside, she panicked and hurriedly pulled out a red silk gauze jacket from under the covers. She couldn't find her underpants. Hearing the door open, she quickly pulled the covers over her lower body. Yu Xiang and He Xiang had already led the others in, but the room was filled with a pungent, nauseating smell. Hua Qi's red silk underpants, sleeping shoes, and white silk foot-binding cloth were scattered all over the floor. The brocade quilt in the red silk curtains was overturned, and Hua Qi's hair was disheveled, her makeup scattered. She was half-covered in a gauze jacket and wrapped in a silver-red wedding quilt, looking embarrassed and flustered. Her almond-shaped eyes were downcast and full of coquettishness. She was completely different from the person she was before her marriage. She could only imagine how he had been lewdly played with that night. Yu Xiang and He Xiang also felt their faces flush and their hearts race. Yu Xiang chuckled, "Sister, look! After this wedding night, General Hua has indeed lost some of his girlish elegance and gained some of his mature charm, hee hee..." "Silly girl, from now on you must call him 'Madam Hu'! Hehe..." Saying this, she ordered the maid Xi Niang to clean up and help Hua Qi bathe and change. Everyone saw that his bound feet had also been stripped bare and were covered in semen, and they couldn't help but chuckle, "This Chief Hu doesn't even spare people's bound feet..." They laughed and helped Hua Qi bathe, but they saw that he was having difficulty. Yu Xiang asked him carefully, and Hua Qi could only tell that he had a wedding egg stuffed inside him. After saying this, he blushed and his eyes filled with tears. Yu Xiang quickly asked someone to bring a tub of water to help him relieve himself. Huaqi was already swollen and unbearable, no longer caring about her shame in front of others. She desperately tried to push, her face turning red and purple. After a great deal of effort, she finally managed to squeeze the egg into her anus, but she was already groaning in pain and could not expel any more. Yuxiang ordered someone to help her to lie down on the bed and comforted her, "Madam, don't worry, take a breath and push your lower abdomen a little harder, maybe it will come out." Huaqi, with tears in her eyes and enduring the pain, pushed again. Seeing that her anus was gradually widening and more and more of the egg was showing, everyone hurriedly shouted, "It's coming out, it's coming out soon..." Just like a woman giving birth, Huaqi cried out, and her anus, with its folded flesh, finally spat out the egg, along with a lot of thick white semen. Although she felt relieved in her lower body, her anus contracted and she groaned in pain. Seeing a man being so thoroughly toyed with by Hu Peng, He Xiang felt a pang of pity and thought to herself, "This Chief Hu is really going too far. He's satisfied himself, but he still makes someone carry his semen all night. Even a woman couldn't bear having such a big egg stuffed into her genitals!" Yu Xiang said, "Who doesn't know that Chief Hu loves to lewdly play with low-ranking officials? Alas... who told him that this official's general ended up in our mountain stronghold? This Hua Qi has killed quite a few brothers in the stronghold. Now she's the chief's wife, it's her fate, I guess. At least her lower body is already a bit open, so there will be less pain later. Hehe..." "So hard-hearted at such a young age, I'll make sure you marry someone like Chief Hu in the future!" He Xiang said. Startled, Yu Xiang stuck out her tongue and dared not say anything more. She ordered people to clean and bathe Hua Qi, put her hair up, bind her feet, dress her, and reapply her makeup. It was quite a flurry of activity, and by the time she was all dressed, it was almost noon. Huaqi has fallen to such a state. Thinking back to the past, it feels like being reborn twice, worse than death. But thinking of the safety of his father and brothers, he can only endure the suffering. VIII. At the Juyi Hall, Chief Shi presents a bracelet at the homecoming banquet. Madam Hu toasts. It is said that Hu Peng arrived at the front village and saw that Shi Erniang was in the center of the Juyi Hall. The leaders and guests from other villages, such as Ma Long, were already seated. He quickly greeted everyone. Shi Erniang pursed her lips and said, "Judging from your smug look, you must have had a wonderful night of pleasure last night, hehe... Your little beauty is quite obedient, isn't she?" Hu Peng said smugly, "Hehe... It's all thanks to the chieftain's good training. I almost didn't recognize her when the veil was lifted. She was so fierce and powerful when she was fighting, but in just a few days she's really become like a woman, especially those little feet, they're such a treasure to play with! Hehe..." Shi Erniang smiled, "I have to praise Madam Xing's old women. They can turn even the toughest iron into a soft, yielding one. I heard that Liu Ting was quite arrogant back then, but after Madam Xing's training, he's almost become the top courtesan in the brothel. The Hua family is being questioned by the court, and he's afraid we'll take the opportunity to make things difficult for the Hua family, so he wants to help his two brothers. It's a good thing for you... To make you happy, I didn't let them cause any trouble." Hu Peng grinned obsequiously, "Your subordinate is deeply grateful for the chieftain's great kindness. From now on, I will be at your service, even through fire and water! But does the chieftain really intend to rescue the Hua brothers? Once they are released from prison, it may be detrimental to the stronghold!" "What, afraid they will come and steal your precious darling? Hehe... I heard that last night in the bridal chamber, all I heard was that young master Hua's crying and screaming. I suppose you've played with him to his heart's content. Be careful! I still have a great use for this flower flag. If you break it, I'll chop it up, hehehehe..." The leader burst into laughter. Hu Peng quickly smiled obsequiously, "Your subordinate obeys! Everything is at the chieftain's disposal." "Good! Then let the bride serve tea and greetings to everyone, hehe..." Hu Peng hurriedly ordered someone to fetch her, and everyone laughed and joked again. Before long, a fragrant breeze carried the scent of flowers, and Yu Xiang and He Xiang led the maidservants, supporting Hua Qi, into the hall. She wore a light red embroidered silk robe, revealing a silver-powdered bodice with floral trim. Beneath her bright red embroidered satin skirt, a pair of pointed, emerald-green shoes were faintly visible. Her steps were graceful, like a willow swaying in the breeze. Her hair was styled in a married woman's bun, adorned with flower hairpins and dangling ornaments. Her eyebrows were like spring mountains, her eyes like pools of water, exuding the shy, timid charm of a newlywed. Hua Qi blushed under the stares of the crowd. He Xiang gave her a subtle push from behind, and Hua Qi could only bite her red lips, taking small steps to the Second Madam. She bowed deeply, her sleeves folded, and said, "May the... Chieftain be blessed." The Second Madam raised her hand, and He Xiang helped her up, whispering a few words of advice. Hua Qi could only offer the fragrant tea, bowing her head and saying, "Please drink my favorite tea." She realized she had never addressed herself this way before; now she was powerless to resist. Shi Erniang drank, then reached out and pulled Huaqi over, slipping a jade bracelet onto his wrist. "From now on, as a wife, you should serve your husband well. Settle down on the mountain, and when things are peaceful, let him accompany you back to your parents' home. I've already sent some betrothal gifts from the manor; they'll take care of things, hehe… Consider this bracelet a red envelope from your elder sister." She then lifted Huaqi's skirt to look at his bound feet, laughing, "Although your bound feet were tied late, they look even more delicate in these imitation scarlet shoes. I'll have them make you a few more pairs later. Hehe… If you're ever mistreated, just come to me for help; never act impulsively! Otherwise, if these pointed shoes accidentally kick Hu Peng, he might get seriously injured, hehe…""...Hehe..." Everyone remembered how Hua Qi had kicked Hu Peng when she was captured, which made them burst into laughter and echo their sentiments. Hua Qi was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do and wished she could disappear into the ground. Hu Peng then led her to greet each of the other leaders. The people who had been humiliated by Hua Qi in the past were pleased to see her now dressed in a beautiful wedding gown, her hair combed and her feet bound, gracefully bowing with a shy and helpless air. Afterwards, Shi Erniang ordered a grand banquet to be held for Hua Qi's "return home" feast. Hua Qi followed Hu Peng and toasted everyone one by one. Ma Long, who had been utterly defeated by Hua Qi that day, was still resentful. Now, seeing Hua Qi dressed in women's clothing, her figure graceful, and toasting everyone with Hu Peng, she was embarrassed but also very obedient, with a kind of charming and delicate beauty. He couldn't help but want to play with her... Just as he was lost in thought, Hu Peng led the gorgeously dressed Hua Qi to him. Ma Long, his heart itching, chuckled, "Young Master Hua is highly skilled; you used to give me a hard time! Who would have thought you'd be so beautiful and charming in women's clothing? You must have experienced Chief Hu's prowess last night, right? Hahahaha..." He secretly harbored resentment, but could only bow and say, "Chief Ma, you flatter me. I...I have offended you greatly before; I apologize." He then bowed again. Hu Peng, holding a cup of wine, laughed, "My wife was unruly before; she offended me greatly. Hehehe...Come! Let's drink! Quickly, offer a toast to General Ma!" Hua Qi poured wine for Ma Long, but upon looking up, she saw Ma Long's lustful gaze. "Good! Congratulations on Chief Hu's marriage! May you and your wife be happily pregnant! Hahaha...Cheers!" Hu Peng also laughed heartily, while Hua Qi was so embarrassed she couldn't lift her head. After dealing with Ma Long, they arrived at the lower table. This group of outlaws, suppressed by the Second Madam the previous night, were not about to be let off easily. They subjected him to all sorts of lewd and abusive acts, which Hu Peng accepted without hesitation. Poor Hua Qi was left disheveled from head to toe, her bright red wedding dress stained with wine, feeling utterly ashamed. By the time the banquet ended, it was past midnight. Hua Qi's small feet were already sore and numb from standing, and she had been given quite a bit of alcohol. Even with her maid's support, she was about to collapse. Hu Peng saw this and picked her up, striding back. Hua Qi involuntarily leaned against Hu Peng's chest, listening to his panting breaths. Half ashamed and half as comforted by his pity, she simply let him have his way. Yu Xiang and He Xiang followed behind, covering their mouths and laughing. That night, the red candles wept, the jade censer exhaled fragrance, and the wild and passionate lovemaking within the silk curtains goes without saying. 9. The eagle, like a phoenix, manipulates all birds; the treacherous bear, as commander, attacks Black Peak. Hua Qi, now married, is devoted to her husband, but also deeply worried about her two brothers and the state of the Hua family. Each day feels like a year, and she constantly asks Shi Erniang to help her gather information and find a way to rescue them. Shi Erniang, seemingly confident, only says she has a plan and advises Hua Qi to wait patiently for good news. She also orders He Xiang to attend to her, and says that after this matter is finished, she wants him to help train the three thousand female soldiers. Hua Qi, flustered and confused, can only agree. Seeing that Hua Qi's warhorse is lost, Shi Erniang selects a bright pink warhorse and forges for him an embroidered plum blossom spear and several sets of embroidered armor and battle skirts. Hua Qi's shoes and socks are narrow, and it takes half a month of practice to become accustomed to the horse and weapons; however, her former fierce and imposing appearance has transformed into that of a delicate and graceful woman. Another half month passes in the blink of an eye. A scout reported that the Hua brothers, Hua Yan and Hua Xin, had been exonerated and returned to the Hua residence. General Hua's illness had also largely improved, and he produced the imperial proclamation as proof. Hua Qi carefully examined it, finally feeling relieved. He wanted to ask what had happened, but Shi Erniang only smiled and remained silent. Hua Qi dared not ask further, but felt reassured and quickly bowed deeply in gratitude. Shi Erniang stopped him, laughing, "Have you gotten used to combing your hair and binding your feet these days? As long as you follow Hu Peng well, you don't need to worry about the safety of the Hua residence. Of course, we'll protect your family, hehe… From now on, these female soldiers are in your hands." Seeing Hua Qi dressed as a woman and still leading troops in martial arts drills, the female soldiers found it amusing and became increasingly lazy. Hua Qi, grateful for his brother's rescue and fearing further calamity for the residence, had to use his family's skills to arrange deployments and enforce discipline. Within a few days, everyone dared not slack off and obeyed orders in training. In less than three months, they had developed impeccable military bearing and proficient combat tactics. Shi Erniang was overjoyed and rewarded him with many gold and silver jewelry, silks and satins. Seeing that the female soldiers in the stronghold were now well-trained and far superior to what they used to be, the other leaders couldn't help but secretly praise him, jokingly saying that Hu Peng had acquired a beautiful and talented wife. Hu Peng was beaming with pride, overjoyed. Seeing Hua Qi dressed as a female general, he found her even more beautiful, and his lewdness intensified at night, wishing he could devour her whole. He Xiang, pitying his suffering, would moisten his rear with fragrant balm before bed each night. Hua Qi, afraid of the pain, had no choice but to comply. The nighttime pleasure relieved some of his suffering. However, once the intense pain subsided, the tingling and itching intensified. He often felt his hands and feet grow cold, his heart trembled, and his soul swayed, like a mountain of desire, unable to find its way home. Like an ant in a hot pot, he cared nothing for restraint, only moaning and groaning until he ejaculated, only then could he calm down. That morning, Hu Peng was carrying Hua Qi's legs on his shoulders, thrusting hard and vigorously. Hua Qi's small feet were pointing upwards, her body trembling from the thrusting, her buttocks tingling with an unbearable itch and heat, moaning softly. Her seductive eyes swept over Hu Peng, whose face was full of enjoyment. She savored his massive member as it moved in and out, gradually becoming aroused, and began calling out to her husband, seeking only pleasure, forgetting all about herself. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, and Hu Peng stopped abruptly, Hua Qi still moaning softly. Hu Peng cursed the interruption, but upon asking, he learned it was Shi Erniang preparing for their wedding. Not daring to be negligent, he quickly pulled away, grabbed Hua Qi's floral satin bodice from beside the pillow, wiped his genitals a few times, and got out of bed to wash. Hua Qi rose, took a silk handkerchief, and shyly wiped her rear. She then draped a white peony-patterned soft gauze shirt over herself, put on peach-colored crepe trousers, and, still wearing her slippers, got out of bed to help him change. Seeing Hua Qi's attentiveness and obedience, Hu Peng was delighted, embracing her and kissing her pretty face. He grabbed her buttocks and lewdly chuckled, "You little slut! I'll feed you properly when I get back…hehe…" Hua Qi, suppressing her anger and shyness, raised her foot to kick him, but Hu Peng grabbed her slippers, pinched them, laughed loudly, and fled, leaving Hua Qi heart pounding with shame and resentment. He Xiang brought in a maid to help Hua Qi dress and groom herself. Hua Qi asked He Xiang about the matter of the front hall being set up, only to learn that the court had once again dispatched a large army to attack the mountain stronghold. A thought struck Hua Qi: could it be that her father and brothers had been reinstated? Was there still hope for her situation as a concubine? Looking at her willow-leaf eyebrows and luscious red lips in the mirror, how could she face her father and brothers? A pang of sorrow gripped her heart, and when she asked He Xiang again, she only said she didn't know. Soon, Hu Peng rushed back, saying that Niu Xiong was leading an army to attack and they were about to engage in battle. He Xiang and the other maids quickly fetched armor and helped Hua Qi put it on. Hua Qi, upon hearing that it was Niu Xiong, was enraged and wanted nothing more than to kill the villain. She was about to change her clothes when Hu Peng grabbed her, saying, "My darling, wait for my news. I'll definitely avenge you this time. When you come back, you must reward me handsomely! Hahaha..." Hua Qi blushed, "This time, Niu Xiong is probably up to no good. He's about to go into battle. Be serious. I'll wait for your news." Hu Peng, hearing her concern, happily kissed her a few times to comfort her before turning and leaving. Hua Qi and the others changed into tight-fitting short clothes and went to watch from the shadows by the stockade wall. They saw the imperial army rolling in from afar, and Hu Peng, with a pair of stockade soldiers, was already in battle formation. As soon as the two armies clashed, the government troops were routed. Hu Peng, wielding his axe, chased after them, gradually disappearing from the stockade. Hua Qi sensed something was wrong. Suddenly, a cannon fired, and an army attacked from the flank, cutting off Hu Peng's retreat. The government troops in front suddenly turned back, and Hu Peng was immediately surrounded. Hua Qi was wondering how Niu Xiong could have such a strategy when she saw the large "Hua" character on the banner of the commander fluttering in the wind in the distance. It turned out that General Hua had arrived with his Hua family army. Hu Peng charged left and right, but fortunately, Shi Erniang and two female soldiers arrived to his aid, allowing him to retreat back to the camp. He was covered in wounds, and almost all of his soldiers had perished. Hua Qi had just returned to her room when Hu Peng was helped in, his wounds treated. She and He Xiang and the others quickly helped him lie down to rest. Hu Peng was still unconvinced: "Damn it... Ma Long, that damn bastard, said he'd be the one to provide backup, but he disappeared at the last minute. Turns out he ran back to guard his own den, oh dear... Hey! He caused me to get surrounded!" He turned around and saw Hua Qi, dressed in a tight-fitting jacket and embroidered trousers, holding a teacup to feed him water. "Hehe... My darling, did you go to observe the battle today too? Hey! I was supposed to get revenge on my wife, but my father-in-law shot me with an arrow instead, hehe... Ouch!" Hua Qi realized that his father had really come, and couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing what he said: "Alright! You're already like this, what are you shouting for? Drink some water." "Hmm... Oh dear... It's fortunate that you trained those female soldiers so well, otherwise I really would have been done for, and my darling would have become a young widow, hahaha...!" He Xiang and the others covered their mouths and chuckled. Hua Qi shoved him away and turned away, ignoring him. She was relieved to have a few days of peace, but wondered why her father was back to support Niu Xiong… The reason would be explained next time. X. Resolving Past Grudges: Han Wang's Memorial on the Victory of General Xuan Mei. It turned out that since the last defeat, Niu Xiong was innocent, but the Hua family was punished. Many court officials were indignant, but knowing Niu Xiong was Han Wang's confidant, they dared not speak out. This Han Wang was the fourth son of the Emperor, born to the newly appointed Empress Xiaoren. He was deeply favored by the Emperor, wielding great power and influence in court, with many followers. He had long coveted the position of Crown Prince, and even the Crown Prince treated him with deference. However, because General Hua was utterly loyal to the Emperor and had a close relationship with the Crown Prince, although he had retired to his hometown, his former protégés and generals were scattered far and wide. Therefore, the Crown Prince had always worried that the Hua family would interfere in the future, and thus sought to gradually eliminate them. Unexpectedly, the court was abuzz with discussion over this matter. Although no one submitted a memorial, the private atmosphere was in an uproar. King Han then realized that the Hua family's prestige remained considerable. While he hesitated to intervene, Niu Xiong, who had always opposed the move, changed his mind and advised King Han to exonerate the two men, hoping to gain more popular support. He also consulted with several trusted confidants, and they all agreed. The next day, King Han submitted a memorial to the throne, exonerating the Hua family. Niu Xiong co-submitted the memorial, and sure enough, many ministers echoed his sentiments. The emperor immediately granted the request, unaware that King Han's other intention was to use this opportunity to bring the Hua family into his own camp. Meanwhile, the two young masters of the Hua family, having spent several months in prison, returned home to find the steps covered in yellow leaves and the gate deserted. General Hua was overjoyed to see the two unharmed, and his illness had largely subsided. Hua Yan and Hua Xin met with three...The younger brother still hadn't returned. Liu Zhong was summoned and questioned, only to learn that the third brother had been forced to bind his feet and married off to Hu Peng as a bandit's wife. Hua Yan kicked over the table in anger, intending to lead men to rescue him again, but the old general sternly stopped him. Hua Xin and Hua Zhong also tried to dissuade him. The old general shook his head and sighed, "You were just released without charge; you mustn't cause trouble now. Besides, Liu Zhong's troops have already been returned; how can you two possibly rescue him? I've already arranged for secret agents to go to Black Peak Mountain to investigate the details. In a few days, I will personally petition for permission to fight. You two should first go to the inner courtyard to visit Mother, and practice archery and horsemanship in the mansion. You'll be useful soon!" The two had no choice but to agree and leave. After they left, the old general secretly pondered. Yesterday, several old acquaintances from the court wrote letters, saying that the two sons' pardon was entirely due to the efforts of Prince Han and Niu Xiong. These two had always been at odds with him; why were they now exonerating the Hua family? He was deeply worried about his youngest son, finding it difficult to let go of his worries. The next day, Niu Xiong visited with lavish gifts. Upon meeting, he offered tea and presented a letter from the King of Han, filled with words of comfort and praise. Niu Xiong also offered to be punished, only asking the old general to forgive past grievances and assist the King of Han together. The old general then understood the deeper meaning, but Hua Qi had not yet returned, and the Crown Prince had no troops. He would still need the King of Han for future rescue, so he could only comply. A banquet was held that day, which was considered a gesture of reconciliation with Niu Xiong. After the winter solstice, the old general's health had recovered, and he requested permission to fight. Some court officials also petitioned the emperor, saying that failing to eliminate this stubborn bandit would damage the imperial prestige and make the people feel disgusted. The King of Han seized the opportunity to recommend Niu Xiong, saying that he was familiar with the bandits and could be expected to win again. The emperor did not care about such a bandit and readily granted the request, ordering him and the old general to advance together with their respective forces. The old general had thoroughly investigated the area within a hundred miles of Black Peak Mountain for this campaign, and he also secretly discussed with Niu Xiong: Niu Xiong would launch a direct attack, while the old general would lie in ambush. This led to the battle where Hu Peng was surrounded. Ma Long was already under surveillance by Hua Yan and his men, unable to move. The second attack on Black Peak Village was indeed a resounding success. Niu Xiong and the old general joined forces and held a grand victory banquet to reward the troops. Fine sheep, fine wine, and clinking glasses were plentiful, needless to say. They drank until midnight, the old general more exhilarated than ever before, while Niu Xiong, already tipsy, exclaimed: "Old General, your tiger-like spirit remains strong! I predict these bandits will be wiped out soon! Hahaha… Come! Serve us with songs and dances…" Suddenly, drums and bells resounded, and the sounds of flutes and pipes filled the air. Soon, a pair of graceful dancers floated in from the rear tent, their flowing robes trailing on the ground, colorful ribbons draped over their arms, each one as beautiful as a flower, with an elegant figure. The musicians presented a playlist, asking Niu Xiong to choose a piece. "Old General, you have rendered great service, please go first!" Niu Xiong politely declined. "This old man's eyesight is failing, so I'll follow General Niu's refined taste!" General Hua, a veteran of many campaigns, never brought women to his army. Not wanting to create an awkward silence, he raised his cup in response. Niu Xiong, in high spirits, downed his drink in one gulp: "Very well… let's entertain the generals with the 'Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix' that you just arranged." Immediately, the music resumed, and before them, long sleeves billowed, figures twirled and danced, fluttering like butterflies among flowers, swaying like willows in the wind, peacocks spreading their feathers, and orioles among the green willows—a truly dazzling and breathtaking spectacle. General Hua watched in admiration, while Generals Hua Yan and Hua Xin were beaming with delight, clapping and cheering, utterly amazed. As the drums and music slowed, a sudden, piercing crescendo filled the air, and a shower of blossoms and colorful clouds appeared. The dancers, who had just been huddled together amidst the falling flowers, suddenly blossomed like lotuses, each gracefully extending their bodies. From within the lotuses emerged a figure, her hair piled high in a cloud-like bun, her face veiled in veil of mist, adorned in feathered robes and jewels, holding a colorful feather. She danced gracefully to the music, like a phoenix circling a paulownia tree, her captivating figure mesmerizing. The melodious tinkling of bells lingered with every movement. The crowd watched, mesmerized. Hua Xin, her mouth dry, grabbed a handful of vinegar from the table, oblivious to the danger. Hua Yan's nose was already bleeding profusely. The old general, however, remained composed, apparently unable to hold his liquor, and fell asleep at his desk. As the music and dance ended, the generals, still lingering in the excitement, were delighted. Niu Xiong, beaming with pride, said, "Hehe...please excuse my rudeness, this is my beloved concubine, who came to perform and entertain us! Let's have a big toast, hahaha..." He then ordered the dancers to come to the table and toast everyone. The generals, having fought for days, were now in high spirits. Seeing the beauty, they had no restraint, each embracing one on each side and frequently drinking their cups. The concubine had also changed her clothes and came to the table again. Only then did the generals see her clearly: her black hair was loosely tied up, with a gold hairpin tucked into it, and pearl ornaments trembling in her hair. She wore a soft gauze jacket with a peony motif, revealing a half-exposed embroidered green satin bodice. A pink, snow-white, plum blossom pleated skirt trailed on the ground. Her eyebrows were lightly drawn, her almond eyes were sparkling, her skin was like mutton fat, and her lips were like red cherries. Indeed, she was charming and alluring. The old general, now sober, looked up and was immediately stunned… XI. Recalling the Past: The General Unravels Doubts in the General's Tent; The Deceptive Appeal to the Enemy Leader; The Clever Plan in the Enemy Camp; The Flower. The old general rubbed his drunken eyes and looked again. The concubine was gently leaning against Niu Xiong, her ten fingers, bright red, holding a silver pot inlaid with gold and eight treasures, pouring wine for Niu Xiong. Niu Xiong held her in his arms, took a big gulp, and then fed her. The concubine smiled shyly, tilting her pink face up, her cherry lips slightly parted, slowly receiving the wine. Two red moles, the size of soybeans, were on her collarbone, bright red and tempting. The old general was stunned by what he saw. The concubine drank from the leather cup and hurriedly took out a lake-blue embroidered silk handkerchief to wipe the wine stains from Niu Xiong's beard and mouth. Niu Xiong then grabbed and touched her, making her smile seductively and beg for mercy, swaying like a flower branch. Niu Xiong was already weak, and when he turned his head, he found the old general staring at him. He couldn't help but chuckle to himself, "Hmph…it seems that old men are even more lustful!" "Ting'er, go and pour wine for General Hua..." "Oh!...Yes, Your Highness, please wait a moment, Master, hehehe..." Ting'er paused, then laughed, her slender waist twisting away from Niu Xiong's embrace. She straightened her clothes, picked up the silver pot, and came to the old general's seat, bowing gracefully: "Greetings, General..." Her voice was slightly low but melodious and smooth. When General Hua saw her approaching to pour wine, he saw her more clearly; this was clearly Liu Ting! Before he could ask, Liu Ting had already presented the wine cup to him: "General Hua's reputation is illustrious; he will surely eradicate the bandits soon!" He then secretly shook his head, knowing there must be a hidden story. He could only raise his cup and drink, saying he couldn't hold his liquor. Not long after, the banquet ended. Back in his tent, he was still pondering. Liu Ting had been captured with Hua Qi in the past, and he had replaced Hua Qi first. He had always felt uneasy about this, but how had he become like this? In truth, Liu Ting and Liu Zhong were uncle and nephew, but father and son. Liu Ting was born when Liu Zhong had an affair with a woman while accompanying the old general in battle when he was young. For this, he was punished by the old general, but out of consideration for his loyalty and bravery, the old general gave him some silver to settle him. Only the old general had ever seen the cinnabar mark on Liu Ting's chin. Later, when Liu Ting grew up, Liu Zhong took him under his wing, teaching him martial arts and military strategy. In public, they only addressed each other as uncle and nephew. At this time, General Hua had also retired from the army and returned to his hometown. General Hua was pondering when a personal guard came to report that someone was requesting an audience outside the tent. Such a late-night visit must be urgent, so he quickly ordered him to come in. The man was thin, wearing a hood and a long robe. After entering and seeing that no one else was around, he wiped off his hood and sat down on a folding chair next to the table: "General Hua, how have you been? Hmph..." His phoenix eyes looked at the old general with a friendly smile. It turned out to be Shi Erniang, the leader of Black Peak Village. Upon seeing his enemy, General Hua, his hand on his sword hilt, was about to erupt in anger when Shi Erniang waved her hand. "Ah... General, wait... Although we have a grudge, I have also rendered service to the Hua family!" "Still daring to use sweet words at a time like this! What do you intend to say?" General Hua suppressed his anger, his wrist trembling. Shi Erniang smiled again: "General, when the two young masters of the Hua family were imprisoned, was it Prince Han and Niu Xiong who petitioned for their release?" "So what if they were?" Despite her words, the general wondered how she knew. Did someone in the court have connections with her? "Niu Xiong has always been at odds with the general, so why is he able to submit a memorial together with the Prince of Han? Heh..." Shi Erniang said smugly. "Well... to tell you the truth, it was only after I pretended to have an old friend from the Hua family send Niu Xiong a cartload of gold and silver, along with a delicate little beauty, that Niu Xiong agreed to rescue them. Hmph... I guess I've evened out my crimes, haven't I?" "Liu Ting... was Liu Ting presented to Niu Xiong by you?" "When Liu Ting was captured, he shouted and cursed. I was so angry that I wanted to kill him, but some of the leaders wanted some money..." So they simply sold it to the brothel. Madam Xing, using some unknown means, managed to train Wen Wan into a beautiful and charming woman within a few months, turning her into the top courtesan. Old General, this was truly a desperate measure born of desperation. I learned that Niu Xiong is greedy and lustful. He met Liu Ting at the brothel and has always liked her. It was only when Liu Ting heard she could save the two young masters of the Hua family that she willingly offered herself to him. That's why I brought her out and gave her to Niu Xiong. Niu Xiong, having gained both wealth and beauty, then exerted some effort.” Upon hearing this, the old general, thinking of Liu Zhong, couldn't help but sigh deeply. Shi Erniang waved her hand, saying, "What's past is past, but the future is uncertain. Now I only ask one question: can the old general withdraw his troops?" The old general asked, "What about my son, Hua Qi?" "The Third Young Master is well; the general can bring him back tomorrow!" "This…" The old general pondered for a moment, "But we are ordered to suppress the rebellion; how can we easily withdraw our troops? No!" Shi Erniang seemed confident, saying, "General, you are overthinking it. We were only temporarily taking refuge here. Since the court doesn't like us, moving to another place isn't impossible. We only beg the old general to have mercy and give us a way out!" Her eyes reddened as she sighed. "I see you are exceptionally capable. If you can abandon the darkness and join the light, serving the country, it wouldn't be a bad way out." The old general had long admired her abilities; if he could win her over, it would be adding a good general to the country and removing a scourge. "Now that the general has said that, there are many leaders in the stronghold. May I return to the stronghold and discuss this further? Tomorrow at dawn, the old general can go to the local temple on the mountainside to fetch the young master," Shi Erniang said with a smile. The old general felt relieved: "Alright! See you tomorrow..." and bowed as he saw him off. "Even if you're as cunning as a devil, you've still drunk my foot-washing water... Hahaha..." Shi Erniang's ghostly, wicked laughter echoed along the steep mountain road of Black Peak Mountain... Chapter Twelve: Welcoming the Young Son, the General Dies, Pitying His Beloved Wife, and the Leaders' Confessions. The next day, the old general, along with Liu Zhong and a dozen personal guards, arrived early at the temple. Sure enough, there were already more than ten riders waiting in front, including Shi Erniang with Yu Xiang and others. Eager to see his son, the old general hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Where is Hua Qi?""Father, your son is here..." Shi Erniang waved her hand, and a peach-red warhorse appeared on either side, carrying a man with a satin turban, wearing a light pink brocade embroidered short jacket, a bright green pleated battle skirt, and carved red satin embroidered pointed boots. He carried an embroidered phoenix-headed spear. Although his thick eyebrows were gone and his sideburns were neatly trimmed, upon closer inspection, it was indeed Hua Qi. "My son! Ah... come with me quickly!" The old general had already learned from Liu Zhong that Hua Qi had indeed been forced to bind his feet, but he didn't know that he had suffered such a humiliation, and his heart ached for him. Hua Qi was almost used to wearing women's clothing. Being scrutinized by his father like this, he recalled his former appearance and couldn't help but blush to his ears. He was also angry that Shi Erniang had only said that she was scouting enemy positions that morning, and only after arriving did he realize that he was meeting his father and being allowed to go back! Thinking of this, Hua Qi felt a surge of fear. Could he still go back to being a proud man? Within the Black Peak Stronghold, she could still be a woman, and the thought of Hu Peng made her blush. But once she left the stronghold, could she be a man or a woman again? The soldiers, the household, friends and relatives—and then there was the Cao family's daughter, whom she had betrothed to but had yet to meet… Looking down, she saw her bound feet, and alas… she felt utterly alone in this vast world… Seeing her lost in thought, General Hua was about to urge her back to camp when the sound of bells on his horse's jacket rang out, and hundreds of riders charged forward, shouting, "Don't let the traitors escape… kill them…" Shi Erniang was terrified: "General Hua, are you so faithless…!" "I only want to take my son away; I truly don't know which soldiers they are! Let me ask." The old general turned his horse around to meet them, and saw that it was Luo Xin and Fang Yong, adjutants under Niu Xiong. Before he could speak, Luo Xin swung his sword, and the old general quickly parried with his spear. Fang Yong shouted, "Even if I'm in cahoots with the bandits, I can't escape General Niu's eyes. Why don't you dismount and surrender now?" He also raised his club to fight. Hua Qi dared not be negligent, and rushed to her father's aid, engaging Fang Yong in battle. Fang Yong, seeing that she was a beautiful and valiant female warrior, laughed as he fought, "You little thief, instead of staying home embroidering and painting, you're dressed up like this to steal men! Why don't you come with me and become an official's wife, hahaha..." Hua Qi was both ashamed and angry. Her horse was fast, her spear swift, and although her strength was not what it used to be, her moves were especially skillful and accurate, each spear aimed straight for vital points. General Hua, mindful of Hua Qi's situation, did not want to make a scene, and fearing that seeing Hua Yan and Hua Xin would cause further complications, he only told Niu Xiong that he was scouting the terrain. By now, he had guessed that Niu Xiong had planted spies in his camp, secretly sending ambushes to catch Shi Erniang red-handed. He realized he was indeed full of excuses and unable to prove his innocence, and inwardly groaned. Thinking of Hua Yan and Hua Xin, he felt even more panicked. Shi Erniang and the others were already engaged in a fierce battle with the surrounding soldiers. Seeing that the encirclement was growing, she hurriedly called to Hua Qi, "Young Master Hua, please return to the camp! If we continue fighting, we may be outnumbered." Hua Qi, mindful of his father, was unwilling to leave. He seized the opportunity to feign a thrust, and seeing Fang Yong's staff already swinging, he countered with his spear, aiming straight for Fang Yong's throat. Fang Yong was a little too slow to dodge, and with a snap, one ear of his helmet was sliced off. Fang Yong fled on his saddle. Hua Qi, still seething with anger, turned to fight Luo Xin. Luo Xin, already a formidable opponent for the old general, saw Fang Yong flee and the tigress-like female general charge in. Luo Xin, however, was defeated by Luo Xin's dragging of his sword, but secretly drew his favored iron dart and aimed it straight for the old general's throat. The old general, his mind in turmoil, saw Luo Xin's defeat and was about to retreat when the dart was already upon him, piercing his throat with a soft thud. He fell from his horse and died. Hua Qi rolled off the saddle, threw himself on the ground, and embraced the old general, crying out before fainting. When Hua Qi opened his eyes again, he was lying in his room. He Xiang, seeing him awake, hurriedly called for maids to attend to him. Hua Qi's body was limp as cotton. Remembering his father's death, he wept uncontrollably, wishing it were all just a nightmare. He Xiang and the others tried to comfort her, saying, "The dead cannot be brought back to life, please accept our condolences, Madam! The chieftain has already prepared the body for the old general's burial and will give him a proper funeral on a chosen day. By the way, Chief Hu, seeing that Madam is unconscious, has been fighting like a madman for days to avenge her. He will surely bring back the enemy's head soon! It's best to try to think more positively." Hua Qi felt a surge of warmth, but her heart was in turmoil, and she could no longer hold back her tears. "Yes, Madam has been lying there for two days, it scared us to death..." the maidservant added, trying to comfort her. Just then, a commotion arose outside. He Xiang went to check and turned back, saying, "It's Chief Hu! Sure enough, the enemy's head has been taken!" As Hua Qi helped the maid sit up, Hu Peng strode into the room, his helmet askew, armor askew, body covered in blood, several bloodstains on his face, his hair disheveled, looking like a ferocious demon. But seeing that he was awake, his face instantly lit up with joy: "Haha... my darling is awake! Don't be sad anymore... Humph! That Luo Xin was still chopped down by me." Hua Qi's heart clenched. This rough and tough man had actually risked his life to heal him. Looking at the blood-soaked man, he felt an unprecedented closeness, like a mottled and ferocious boulder on the Black Mountain, capable of grinding him to dust, yet providing him with a safe haven in times of weakness and helplessness, never to abandon him, a love that could be both intense and unbearable. That warm current surged again, making it hard for Hua Qi to breathe, and hot tears streamed down his face. Let them flow... he could no longer hold back. Startled by being suddenly pulled into Hu Peng's rough, hard chest, Hua Qi kicked and struggled wildly, biting into his shoulder. A salty, metallic taste of blood flowed from his rocky flesh, yet Hua Qi felt a strange sense of peace and sweetness. Hu Peng held her tighter: "Good! Hahaha..." Like the ecstasy of their wedding night, Hua Qi pounded...pounded...and wept silently...letting herself sink into his broad, solid embrace. The bells have burned to ashes, yet I offer my tenderness to you...A look of joy appeared on his face: "Haha... Baby's awake! Don't be sad anymore... Humph! That Luo Xin still got chopped down by me." Hua Qi's heart clenched. This rough and tough man had actually risked his life to heal him. Looking at the blood-covered man, he felt an unprecedented closeness, like a mottled and ferocious boulder on the Black Mountain, capable of grinding him to dust, yet a source of comfort and support in times of weakness and helplessness, never to abandon him, a love that could be both intense and bitter. That warm current surged again, making it hard for Hua Qi to breathe, and hot tears streamed down his face. Let them flow... He couldn't hold back any longer.
