35 Behind me came the voice I had been waiting for: “We're not late, are we?” Looking back, the eldest sister and the third prince led ten thousand fighting cocks into battle, next to them were the little marquis with a cane and the third sister. Little Marquis held an improved crossbow in her hand, and the third sister held a pack of explosives and smiled warmly towards me: "Second sister, you're right, you can really learn a lot of interesting things from surfing TikTok." So General Chu's laughter had not yet ended, a fighting chicken landed on his head, pecked at his face, and soon a piece of his scalp was stripped bare. These 10,000 chickens were starved all day before going to war, but now seeing food makes them go crazy. All the fighting chickens rushed into the battlefield, flying onto the enemy's shoulders, heads, limbs, aiming at the eyes, nose, and mouth to attack... Immediately, screams rang out from below the citadel. Taking advantage of the chaos of the enemy army, the little marquis led three hundred archers into battle. Explosives were ignited. Thanks to the crossbow, they shot accurately into the chests of several generals and vanguards, only to hear a "thump" sound, flesh and blood flying in all directions. Two thousand packs of explosives were spent, countless enemy soldiers were killed and wounded, and the formation was in great chaos. 36 Now is the time for Co Yen Chu and his soldiers to go to battle. He led the army to open the city gate to face the battle, the whole army's morale was sky-high, their blood boiling, determined to defend the country. General Chu was blinded in one eye by a war cock, but still avoided the missiles and explosives of the little marquis. He fought head-to-head with Co Yen Chu. With trembling hands, he pulled out the treasured sword that had been passed down for generations, a symbol of glorious victory. Immediately afterwards, there was a "clang" sound of metal touching. This was the battlefield of two heroes. Finally, the sound of metal falling to the ground was not loud but echoed throughout the battlefield. Then he knelt down in the mud. From ancient times until now, there has only been one winner on the battlefield, and this time, that person is Co Yen Chu. The soldiers saw the enemy leader fall, so they risked their lives to rush forward. This battle lasted from night to day, then into the night again, until the triumphant sound rang out... Seeing that the army had won the battle, the three of us sisters hugged each other, and I said: "It's still you and me who are the most trustworthy!" “Not sure!” 37 As soon as Co Yen Chu left for war, I predicted that this day would come and immediately called an emergency meeting. Big sister is good at raising chickens, and even gave me and my sister a few chickens to protect ourselves. At that time, I suddenly thought: if I bring your chickens to the battlefield, they will definitely be a secret weapon. It's just that the capital is too far from the Northwest, if we bring chickens from there to Sung Quan Mountain, I'm afraid that when we get there, we won't have any fighting power left. So I took out all my dowry and told my eldest sister to go to the Northwest to raise chickens, less than a hundred miles from the battlefield. In the end, the eldest sister did not take any money and replied cheerfully: "Sister, I never thought that my chickens would one day go to the battlefield. This time they will definitely make a fortune. Don't worry, I will go right away after preparing the preparations. The land is large and sparsely populated. I will build a large-scale chicken farm!" So, big sister set off. Third sister knew about it and couldn't sit still: "Sister, I'm a rehabilitation doctor. I also went to the Northwest. I can bandage the wounds of soldiers and help them recover..." Looking at third sister's chatter, I suddenly remembered what she had said before, that little servant with a bad temper was always there. In the basement, he made some strange things, including crossbows and poison arrows, and secretly raised soldiers to protect himself. “Third sister, do you still remember how to make explosives?” Third sister was dreamy: "It seems like I learned it on TikTok..." I grabbed her hand: "Sister, right now there is something more important than being a rehabilitation doctor!" “What?” "I made explosives, then let the little marquis improve the crossbow, combine the two, and bring it to the battlefield!" The third sister's eyes lit up: "Why didn't you think of it? I'm waiting for you. I'll go back and study with Tieu So right now!" So, one day before I arrived in the Northwest, I wrote a letter to my eldest sister and my third sister, telling them to prepare carefully. Our battlefield begins from here. 38 The signing of a peace treaty with the enemy was a matter of a month later. During that time, the eldest sister went down to pick up a few killed fighting chickens and cook them, the taste must be called... excellent. Food and medicine from reinforcements also arrived, and my samadhi and I were in charge of treating the wounded soldiers. On the day of signing the peace treaty, the three of us sisters got drunk to death. The last big sister was carried home by the third prince, crying and shouting: "This old lady is the best chicken farm in the world!" "What kind of doctor, what kind of professor is instructing me, bullying me all day, manipulating my psychology, saying that the chickens I raise are not good at all, have their chickens gone to the battlefield? There are a lot of chickens we raise to the battlefield!" The third prince's face was full of pride, as he walked along, his voice was louder than hers. Hearing sniffles behind him, he quickly comforted: "That's right! Their chickens only know how to fight in the coop, but my wife raises chickens to fight the enemy!" “Who dares to look down on my wife, I am the first to disagree, who dares to say she is not good, I will knock all her teeth out!” When the big sister heard that, she was very happy: "Yes, let them scramble to find the teeth on the ground!" The third sister's side is no less bustling, the little marquis's legs have almost recovered now, he can walk without a cane, just his movements are still a bit slow. The third sister poked his chest: "Let me tell you, Tieu So, I hate dark men like you the most. Can you stand up without me? You can make those high-class things! Before, you even dared to send martyrs to assassinate me. You really don't know whether it's good or bad!" The little marquis slowly held her hand, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and helped her step into the room: "Madam is right, from now on the martyrs will all listen to your orders, you should also let them assassinate me once, okay?" The third sister shook her head: "There's nothing wrong with being evil. If you're not good, I'll break your legs and make you sit in a wheelchair for the rest of your life!" The little Marquis smiled even brighter: "Okay, okay, listen to everything. If I dare to bully you, I don't need you to do anything, I'll break my own foot first..." 39 I watched them leave, the corner of my lips kept curling up, but soon I couldn't laugh anymore. Co Yen Chu suddenly picked me up and returned to the camp, his eyes filled with aggression, making me a little scared, to the point that my drunkenness almost disappeared. I slowly backed away, all the way to the edge of the bed, then fell down with a "thump" sound: "No, Co Yen Chu, you don't intend to repay revenge, if it weren't for me asking for reinforcements, it wouldn't have been so easy for you to fight!" Co Yen Chu curled her lips and smiled: "Of course I know that winning this battle is thanks to you, so I want to repay you." After speaking, he started taking off his shirt, even I was stupid know what he intends to do. I pretended to smile awkwardly: "Actually, there's no need. Last time you gave me the land and the shop, I was going to give half to my eldest sister to open a chicken farm, half to my third sister to open a rehabilitation clinic..." Co Yen Chu's hands still didn't stop: "You can do whatever you want." Eight solid abdominal muscles were exposed in front of me, wide shoulders and a slim waist, an inverted triangle-shaped body, and two scars on the chest from slashing knives, adding to the wildness, making me unable to help but swallow my saliva. “This… today I'm just celebrating, I'm not going to see a doctor.” As he spoke, he used his hands and feet to crawl out of bed, but he grabbed his ankle and pulled him back. His voice was low, gently coaxing: "Girl, it's okay to celebrate in bed." He bit my earlobe, nibbling lightly, making me feel like ants were crawling all over my body. His voice was like honey: "Do you want to check again, can I do it now?" I wanted to push him away but couldn't: "No need, no need." No, that mass of his has not been able to deflate since entering the tent. I'm not a male doctor but I also know that it's... very good! But he didn't give me a chance to refuse, in the end everything just followed naturally.
