I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 862: If You Don’t Abandon Me
This world is not a simulator of tyrants. The impact of a decision must be considered carefully.

Feeling the softness on his thighs and looking at Cui Ying who was hugging his thighs tightly and crying, Su Yao was a little dazed for a moment, and ripples appeared in his heart.

Power, this invisible force that can change the world, now showed its most attractive side in front of him.

If he just gave in, he could easily change Cui Lie's fate, and at the same time gain the endless gratitude and loyalty of the woman in front of him. He might even be able to use this opportunity to establish some subtle connection with the Cui family and add to his power map in the court.

But what is the cost of doing so?

Su Yao took a deep breath, slowly helped Cui Ying up, and stared at her tearful face:

"Miss Yingying, do you know that if I make an exception for you today, there will be thousands of 'Cui Ying's' coming to plead for mercy tomorrow. If the court's laws vary from person to person, how can the world be governed?"

Cui Ying burst into tears: "General, I..."

"but--"

Su Yao changed the subject and stroked her tearful face with his fingers:
"Laws are nothing more than human feelings. Our Han dynasty governs the world with filial piety. You are a delicate little girl, but you are willing to take risks to save your grandfather. Your filial piety is truly commendable."

"For your filial piety, this general can give you a chance. As for whether you can seize it, it all depends on you."

When Cui Ying heard this, a glimmer of hope instantly ignited in her eyes. She looked at Su Yao anxiously and choked up, "General, please tell me that as long as I can save my grandfather, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

"There is no need to go through fire and water."

Su Yao chuckled and said:
"As long as your family is willing to spend all of their wealth to support this migration, and as long as Cui Lie sincerely and publicly apologizes and repents, I can spare his death sentence and allow him to preach government affairs and educate people in the border areas to atone for his sins."

When Cui Ying heard this, her eyes were filled with surprise and gratitude. She knelt down again with a plop and kowtowed repeatedly:

"Thank you, General, for your kindness! On behalf of my grandfather and the Cui family, I am grateful and will follow your orders."

Su Yao nodded slightly and handed the dagger back to Cui Ying: "Put it away, and don't do such reckless things again in the future."

Cui Ying took the dagger tremblingly and put it back on her waist carefully. At this moment, there was no confusion and fear in her eyes, and her heart was full of awe and gratitude towards Su Yao.

Cui Ying knelt on the ground, bowed deeply and said:

"I have often heard that the general killed people without mercy and was cold-blooded. Today, I see that the general is really a kind-hearted man who cares about the people. I will never forget your kindness."

"Alright, alright, that's all for being obedient."

Su Yao reached out and pulled Cui Ying up, straightened her messy clothes, and said:

"It's late at night. If you stay any longer, rumors may spread. You should leave first and go back to inform your family and see what they decide."

After saying that, Su Yao turned and walked towards the big bed in the inner room, ready to end this long day.

However, Cui Ying did not move after hearing this. She just lowered her head, tugged at the corner of her clothes nervously with her hands, and her body trembled slightly, as if she was having a fierce ideological struggle.

Soon, seeing Su Yao leaving, she immediately took two steps forward, grabbed Su Yao's hand, raised her head, and asked shyly:

"General, do you dislike Yingying?"

Su Yao was slightly startled and looked down at Cui Ying holding his hand. Under the candlelight, Cui Ying's cheeks were flushed, and her eyes showed a hint of nervousness and anticipation, as well as a bit of girlish shyness.

"Why do you say that, young lady?" Su Yao asked maliciously with a smile on his face.

"Although Yingying is a girl, she also knows the principle of repaying kindness. Since the general is willing to give my grandfather a chance to live, I will certainly do what I say."

As she spoke, Cui Ying untied the silk ribbon around her waist, and her white silk dress fell to the ground like petals, revealing her light yellow undergarment underneath: "If the general does not abandon me, Yingying is willing to repay you with her own body."

The flickering candlelight illuminated the girl's shy yet determined face. Her skin, as delicate as jade, was faintly flushed in the dim light, like a delicate flower that was about to bloom but was beaten by wind and rain.

Su Yao's breathing gradually became rapid, and the desire in his heart was ignited by a fire.

At the same time, seeing that Su Yao didn't say anything, Cui Ying became more nervous and anxious.

She bit her lower lip, then reached out to untie the laces of her top, but ended up making a knot because her fingers were shaking.

The more anxious she became, the harder it was to solve the problem. She was so anxious that sweat broke out on the tip of her nose.

Su Yao smiled slightly when seeing this scene. Before he could say anything, he heard a "swish" sound, and the silk was torn apart by her. A bright white color suddenly jumped into Su Yao's eyes.

"No, it's not me." Cui Ying crossed her arms in panic to cover herself, and the redness instantly climbed up to the tips of her ears.

It must be said that her clumsy demeanor was more touching than deliberate seduction.

In an instant, Su Yao moved. His figure flashed, and with a big hand, he picked up Cui Ying and brought her to the bedside.

The girl screamed and instinctively hugged his neck, but this caused the torn clothes to slip off completely, and then... the dagger dangled at her waist.

"Good guy."

"Sacrificing herself with a weapon, Miss Yingying's way of repaying gratitude is truly unique."

After hearing these words, Cui Ying's face changed drastically, turning pale and red.

"No! I was so flustered just now that I forgot."

She explained hurriedly, but before she could finish her words, Su Yao had already clasped her wrists with one hand and pressed them above her head, while his other hand stroked her slender waist.

In an instant, at the moment of skin contact, Miss Yingying trembled all over as if she had been electrocuted, and then her words turned into light gasps.

"General, yeah."

Before she knew it, she had been disarmed by Su Yao and the dagger was thrown into the corner of the room.

"Before I forget about your grandfather." Su Yao suddenly bit her earlobe, "It's not too late to regret now."

Cui Ying moaned, her body getting hotter and hotter. She closed her eyes, hugged Su Yao and shook her head gently, her hair scattered messily on the pillow, as if she had given everything she had.

Su Yao stared at the face in front of him that was flushed with shyness. Finally, he could no longer restrain himself. He suddenly lowered his head and leaned over to kiss Cui Ying on the lips. Cui Ying froze at first, then slowly relaxed and responded awkwardly.

Soon, the two were clinging to each other, inseparable.

"General, be gentle, it hurts."

"Aren't you here to repay a favor? Can't you bear this little pain?"

"Well"

Although he said some impolite words, Su Yao was obviously more relaxed.

The flickering candlelight illuminated the entangled figures of the two people, and the room was full of an ambiguous atmosphere.
