I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 860 An unexpected gift (4K8 chapters)

Can you rise to the top as long as you serve Su Yao well?

Sun Cheng was very moved by the servant's words, but he still felt that something was not right.

So, Sun Cheng lowered his voice and whispered:
"You know, the general is the emperor's man. If we send him a woman, it would be fine if it's just a one-night stand. But if the girl gets favored by him and is brought back to the capital, and the emperor finds out, what will happen?"

Before Sun Cheng finished speaking, a cunning look flashed across the servant's face. He moved closer and whispered:

"Butler, you don't know this."

"The current emperor is just a little girl. She was able to ascend to the throne thanks to the support of the general. She is not the one in charge. Even if His Majesty knows about this, what can he do? Can he still blame the general?"

"Look at those powerful and influential people. Which one of them can live without a beautiful woman by his side? Our general has fought for the court and made great achievements, but today he has no one to serve him. Do you think this is reasonable?"

"We are sending a few beauties to show our appreciation for the general's hard work and to show our loyalty. If the general is satisfied, he will definitely look up to us in the future."

"When the time comes, the people in the capital will know that we have served the general very well, and His Majesty might even praise us for being sensible."

"Hiss - what you said seems to make sense."

Sun Cheng slapped his thigh heavily:
"Okay! I'll do as you say. If you really help me this time, you will definitely get some benefits after the matter is accomplished!"

After saying this, Sun Cheng immediately stood up and hurried to the pavilion to visit the representative of the noble family there, requesting him to release the beauties who were in custody so as to serve the general well.

After hearing this, the manager over there thought about it and felt that this matter was indeed reliable, so he nodded and agreed.

Not only that, he was also afraid that Su Yao would look down on these old friends of Han Fu, so he asked someone to notify several friends from aristocratic families and asked them to bring some innocent and talented girls from their own homes to his house.

So, while Su Yao was chasing and killing the remaining enemies in the city, a carefully planned beauty banquet was being prepared in the county magistrate's mansion.

According to the original plan, they should have appeared when Su Yao and the other noble families were celebrating at the county magistrate's mansion to show off their talents and beauty.

However, Su Yao rushed to the secret room in a hurry and completely disrupted their plans.

After a busy day, the sky gradually darkened, and the noble families were driven away by him using both kindness and force to prepare for the next day's tasks. The celebration banquet was not even held.
These women could only be locked in Su Yao's room and wait carefully.

The long wait made the girls more and more nervous.

They were thinking about all sorts of things in the room, fearing that the slightest mistake would bring disaster upon themselves.

Especially when thinking about the numerous deaths in the palace and the rivers of blood in the city, many girls shed tears.

At this moment, seeing Su Yao, covered in blood, rushing into the room, the girls were frightened and at a loss as to what to do.

While Sun Cheng was introducing them, the girls also tried very hard to follow the steward's request and line up to show their best side.

However, under the terrifying and murderous atmosphere emanating from Su Yao, the girls were considered good enough if they could perform at 30% of their usual level.

The line was standing crookedly, and one little girl was so frightened that her legs went weak and she sat on the ground, with clear water seeping out from under her dress.
Seeing this scene, not only Su Yao was speechless, but Sun Cheng also had an embarrassed look on his face.

He stared with wide eyes at the girls in front of him who made him look so embarrassed, and the annoyance in his heart surged like a tide.

At this moment, he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into to avoid the general's wrath.

This is really a case of losing the rice while trying to steal the chicken.

I heard that the general was a ruthless man who killed people like crazy.

Seeing that the plan failed, Su Yao turned his eyes slowly, and Sun Cheng knelt on the ground with a plop, and quickly begged for mercy:

"General, spare your life!"

"I may not be very good at my job, but I have good intentions."

Sun Cheng kowtowed like crazy, his voice full of fear and pleading:
"I heard that you were tired from riding and had no one to serve you, so I thought of looking for some talented women to relieve your fatigue. I have no intention of offending you. I beg the general to show some mercy!"

Sun Cheng was crying and his head banged against the floor.

When the girls saw this, they realized that the man in front of them, covered in blood and full of murderous aura, as if he had come from hell, was actually the legendary general Su Yao. They were terrified for a moment and followed Sun Cheng to kneel on the ground. Sobs could be heard in the room.

"You guys! Get up, all of you."

Su Yao was at a loss for words at the chaotic scene in front of him. He waved his hand:

"Am I so petty? Do I want to chop off your heads just for this?"

Sun Cheng heard this, as if he had been granted amnesty. He hurriedly got up from the ground, tears still lingering on his face. While asking the girls to get up, he hurriedly smiled at Su Yao:

"You have fought hard, General.
"Hurry up, hurry up, go to the kitchen and bring some wine and food to the general, and don't forget to ask someone to bring a bucket of hot water."

The girls stared at Su Yao and saw him sitting at the top with his eyes closed, looking noncommittal. They pushed each other and ran to the kitchen in hurried steps as if they had been pardoned.

The girls' skirts fluttered like a group of frightened butterflies. Sun Cheng also had a smile on his face. He backed away with his body hunched, then followed closely behind. From time to time, he would look back and steal a glance at Su Yao's expression, fearing that this evil star would suddenly change his mind again.

Su Yao closed his eyes, and after a while, a burst of fragrance came to his face.

I saw a group of young girls walking over slowly, carrying steaming hot food and wine, and the table was filled with delicacies.

"Just keep it simple."

Su Yao shook his head slightly:

"I am just one person, why do I need to dress up like this?"

Sun Cheng smiled broadly and said, "General, you have worked hard for the country and have suffered a lot on this journey."

"Although these delicacies are not top-notch delicacies, they are all carefully prepared by the mansion. I wanted to hold a banquet for you to celebrate your success and reward you and the soldiers as a token of our appreciation."

"However, due to various complicated matters, the celebration banquet could not be held as scheduled. If you don't use these delicacies, it will be a waste."

"Besides, General, you still have many important matters to deal with tomorrow. You need to eat and drink enough so that you can be energetic enough to deal with everything."

As he spoke, he continued to explain that not only were there food and wine here for the general, but he had also arranged to send food and wine to the other soldiers who were resting in the mansion.

"You are thoughtful."

Su Yao grabbed a chicken leg, took a bite and nodded.

Don't tell me, it tastes okay.

In the past, these chores were handled by Hong'er and Wang Ling.

Later, when the two were not around, the task was handed over to Xun You.

There were a lot of trivial things to do when entering the city today, and Xun You was assigned other tasks by him.

I had thought I would just make do with it for today and go to bed quickly for the night, but I didn't expect that this district manager would unexpectedly arrange the logistics in an orderly manner.

Su Yao chuckled, pointed twice at the table, and asked the manager and the girls to sit down and eat.

At this, everyone was flattered and no one dared to move for a moment.

Sun Cheng was so frightened that his legs went weak. He fell to his knees again with a plop and stammered:

"General, I am of low status, how dare I sit at the same table with you? This is really embarrassing for me."

The girls followed suit, kneeling on the ground again, lowering their heads, not daring to breathe.

"I am not a monster, so why should I be so particular? Just sit down when I tell you to. How can I finish so much by myself?" At Su Yao's insistence, Sun Cheng and the girls finally took their seats tremblingly.

Sun Cheng sat diagonally beside the desk, with half of his buttocks hanging in the air, his hands placed awkwardly on his legs, his eyes stealing glances at Su Yao from time to time, not daring to breathe.

The girls were even more reserved. They sat upright, their postures as stiff as puppets.

"Oh, what are you all standing there for? If you don't eat this dish quickly, it won't taste good when it gets cold."

Su Yao casually picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and relaxed his tone a little, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

However, the only response he got was the slight clinking of dishes and chopsticks, and everyone still didn't dare to relax.
That's not entirely true. In Su Yao's sight, there was only one woman who, although her posture was also restrained, was not as timid as the others.

I saw her lowering her head slightly, her white fingers lightly holding the chopsticks, picking up the food gracefully and putting it into her mouth, then covering her mouth slightly with her small hands and chewing slowly. Although her expression was still a little nervous, she revealed a different kind of elegance and composure.

Such temperament made Su Yao's gaze linger on her for a moment longer.

Almost subconsciously, Su Yao called up the system panel information and took a look, with curiosity and amusement in his eyes:
"What's your name?"

Upon hearing this, the girl quickly stood up, bowed gracefully, and replied in a trembling voice: "General, my name is Yingying."

Su Yao nodded slightly and motioned for her to sit down: "Are you not afraid of me?"

Qing Wan raised her head, her eyes met Su Yao's for a moment, then quickly looked away, took a deep breath and said:

"The general is famous, how dare I not be afraid? But I just think that the general fights for the country and fights against the enemy, so he is a man who cares about the country and the people, and he will never embarrass weak women like me for no reason."

Su Yao raised his eyebrows with interest when he heard this, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Oh? You are quite knowledgeable."

As soon as he said this, the originally dead silence relaxed a little. Seeing this, Sun Cheng hurriedly smiled and said:

"General, you have a keen eye. This Qingwan girl comes from a scholarly family. She is well-read and naturally different from others."

As they were talking, Sun Cheng introduced this girl to Su Yao, wanting her to perform some talents and serve the general.

However, Su Yao's mind was obviously not here.

He turned his attention to the other girls and asked about their life stories.

Soon, a series of sad life stories slowly unfolded before Su Yao.

Some girls were born in ordinary peasant families and lived a peaceful life, but because of the war, they were robbed by thieves, fell into the thieves' den, and were later sold as slaves.

Some girls come from relatively wealthy families, but due to various natural and man-made disasters, they eventually become penniless and are sold to wealthy families by their families.

Some girls, although they did not suffer as tragically as the former, were spotted by bullies and powerful men at a young age because of their fair skin and natural beauty, and were taken away by force and taken for themselves.

There are many such cases. Although there are many girls like this that Su Yao has rescued before, every time he hears about these situations, he can't help but sigh:
"In troubled times, human life is worthless. Manager Sun, if these girls still have homes to return to, arrange for someone to escort them back if they are willing to do so. If they are homeless, then properly place them in the city and find a way for them to make a living, or send them to the girls' school I run in the capital. In short, don't let them be homeless any longer."

"General, be merciful!"

"It is such a blessing for these girls to meet you!"

Sun Cheng put on a smiling face and promised everything, but he was secretly complaining in his heart. These things are easy to say, but who knows how much trouble it will take to do them.

But since the general had said so, he naturally couldn't say anything that would spoil the mood. He could only bite the bullet and agree, and then think about a solution.

With Su Yao's promise, the girls' previous nervous expressions immediately faded a lot, and they were all grateful. Many of them even expressed their willingness to stay here and serve wholeheartedly.

Su Yao smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he had no shortage of servants around him, and that since they were still young, they should think carefully about their future.

Then, Su Yao started talking about how he and Cai Yan were planning to set up a girls' school in the capital. The girls' eyes widened as they listened, and time passed very quickly.

Before they knew it, all the food on the table had been eaten. Su Yao stood up and asked Manager Sun to take the girls away, thus ending the meal.

Sun Cheng smiled widely, and while agreeing, he continued:

"General, the hot water is ready. Do you want to ask two girls to bring it to you?"

"No need, I can do it myself."

Su Yao waved his hand, looking indifferent.

"Okay, okay, I'll take my leave now."

"General, if you have anything to do at night, just call me from inside the house and I will be waiting outside the door."

Sun Cheng bowed and took his leave. With a word, all the beauties in the room soon left one by one.

Seeing that the room was quiet, Su Yao walked to the bucket, tested the water temperature, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Once upon a time, Hong'er and others bathed and changed clothes for him every day, but recently the girls have all become pregnant, so he has to do everything himself, which is quite a different feeling.

Su Yao took off his blood-stained clothes and armor, stepped into the bucket, and the hot water wrapped around his body. He felt tired instantly. He closed his eyes, leaned against the edge of the bucket, and enjoyed a moment of tranquility.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps. Su Yao opened his eyes and looked, only to see the flickering candlelight in the dim room. A beautiful woman in a plain white dress was walking towards him, holding a towel and clean clothes.

When the woman saw Su Yao's gaze, she trembled as if she had been electrocuted, then walked to the door and stood still. Her expression was nervous yet determined. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the girl Yingying from the banquet.

"Oh? Manager Sun, did you forget that I said we don't need anyone to serve us?"

Yingying's body trembled, and the clothes in her hands almost slipped off. She quickly knelt down and saluted, her voice trembling a little:
"Please forgive me, General. This was not arranged by Steward Sun. It was my daughter's own idea."

"My daughter... I have admired the great general's reputation for a long time. I am fortunate to meet him today, and my heart is overwhelmed. I think if I can do my best to help the great general, it will be my daughter's supreme blessing."

"If you are willing to help me, General, please let me help you bathe and change your clothes."

Yingying bowed her head deeply, and her words revealed an unexpected determination.

Her bold behavior immediately stunned Sun Cheng who was outside the door.

Hey man, didn’t we agree to give you some clothes as a gift?
It is your blessing if the general takes a liking to you. If he doesn’t, then you should just come back obediently.

How dare you make such a bold request? What if you displease the general?
Sun Cheng was stamping his feet anxiously outside the door, but he didn't dare to rush in. He could only pray silently in his heart that Su Yao would not get angry.

Su Yao inside the door did not say anything, but instead observed the girl in front of him with an interested expression.

Su Yao's eyes swept over Yingying's body, her beautiful face, youthful body, and elegant lines.

His eyes lingered on Yingying's slender waist and abdomen for a moment, then he nodded: "Well, if you want to come, then stay."

Sun Cheng was stunned at first, then he was overjoyed. He excitedly clenched his fists and waved them outside the door. It took great effort to restrain himself from making an inappropriate shout.

He won the bet, he won the bet, he won the bet!

Food and sex are part of human nature, and a young hero like the general is no exception.

Maybe this move I made was actually the right one. I hope that girl can give me some support. Maybe my future success will depend on her!

Sun Cheng suppressed his inner excitement and tiptoed away from the door, fearing to disturb the two people in the room. He secretly thought about how to strike while the iron is hot and deepen Yingying's impression in Su Yao's heart.

However, he had no idea that the reason Su Yao kept the girl was not because he had any sexual thoughts.

Indeed, this girl is quite charming, with a pretty face and a good figure. It would be a bit self-deception to say that Su Yao really doesn't have any ideas.

But the decisive reason was that Su Yao saw the small bulge on the girl's waist and the clear indication on the system panel that she was equipped with a dagger.
