People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

Having received Jing Ni's confirmation, Cao Ze chuckled. Madam Jing Ni still loved him and didn't run away immediately.

Looking at the ragtag soldiers carrying siege ladders charging down below the city, they all seemed quite adorable. Big Brother is going to put on a good show today!

"Cao Ze! Prepare to die!"

A burly man, two meters tall, faced the arrows, took a running start, and leaped up the city wall, which was less than two zhang high. Who else could it be but An Lulu?

Cao Ze cursed, "Are you out of your mind? What did I do to you?! Do you want to die?"

An Lulu's anger intensified. Anyone who was splashed with golden juice would be furious, let alone him, the number one warrior of the grassland!

Even when we were raiding cities in the Central Plains, we were never this humiliated.

"Go to hell!"

An Lulu, wielding a large hammer, smashed through several wolf guards protecting Cao Ze, and was about to smash Cao Ze's skull open with a single blow when Cao Ze laughed and said, "Well done!"

Despite this unusual scene, An Lulu seemed unconcerned, unaware that something amiss must be going on. She was simply surprised that Cao Ze had become an idiot, instead of running around like yesterday, he was now willingly accepting his fate.

"Golden Light Curse!"

Cao Ze was not afraid at all. He activated the Golden Light Spell effect he had developed himself and held a sharp sword, ready to kill An Lulu.

Many of the wolf guards were shocked. They were ordered to protect Cao Ze, and if Cao Ze died, they would all be doomed.

Hu Ji and her sister Manyu, who were on a high-rise building in the city, became nervous upon seeing this scene.

"Sister, is he strong enough to stop An Lulu?"

"I feel a little uneasy," said Manyu, dressed in white.

Hu Ji was still in a daze. After Cao Ze used the Golden Light Spell yesterday, she already knew that Cao Ze could cultivate. She didn't say anything, but she took it to heart and replaced a group of wolf guards, both to protect Cao Ze and to better monitor him.

"It shouldn't be able to stop it... um..."

In a flash of golden light, Cao Ze's sword was seen to have pierced An Lulu's heart.

Cao Ze looked at An Lulu's incredulous and gradually dimming eyes, put one hand behind his back, and secretly gave a thumbs up to the disguised Lady Jingni beside him.

That's amazing! They could kill An Lulu just by holding his hand. They're both really powerful.

If a husband and wife team up, wouldn't they be invincible?

It's not that An Lulu is too useless.

Jing Ni was simply a level above him, and she lacked martial ethics, resorting to her old skills to launch a sneak attack.

Not to mention, when An Lulu saw his Golden Light Spell, she thought he was using the same trick again and blinded her with golden light, so she immediately closed her eyes.

Jing Ni, who was prepared, sealed all his meridians. She still had time to grab his hand and plunge her sword into An Lulu's heart.

Cao Ze performed a stylish sword flourish and then sheathed the ordinary greatsword.

Although his Golden Light Spell skill was only average, the golden light effect he devised, which could block the view, was incredibly effective; no one could see what was happening inside the golden light.

The reason why he "personally" killed An Lulu was due to a deeper consideration.

The garrison in the capital is now exhausted from the enemy's repeated attacks.

In addition, there is absolutely no sign of snow falling this year.

Most importantly, those tribes that claimed to be coming to support the capital were all slow and sluggish, clearly having their own agendas.

His ability to defend the city was so-so; he relied entirely on his cleverness and boasting, and could only bully the grassland people who couldn't defend their cities.

Therefore, he did not want to risk waiting any longer.

Seeing an opportunity when An Lulu suddenly went mad, she took the initiative to bring up Jing Ni and cooperate with him to kill the seriously ill An Lulu.

They planned to use this to bolster their own prestige and urge the reinforcements supporting the capital to arrive quickly.

Or, it would be even better if this could force the enemy to retreat.

The midday battle ended abruptly due to An Lulu's sudden death, and the enemy soldiers returned to their camp.

Hu Ji strode over, her alluring heterochromatic eyes gleaming with excitement, and asked, "Sir, you killed An Lulu?"

Cao Ze said modestly, "It was just a lucky break. It's all because An Lulu was foolish and got blinded by my golden light, which led to her being stabbed to death with one sword."

Only those who truly understand him know that with his average strength, even if An Lulu didn't resist, it would be difficult for him to kill a martial artist like An Lulu with a single sword strike.

As you can see, it took the young Wei Zhuang so many swords from the Shark Tooth sword to cripple Wushuang Gui.

It's just that his wife was incredibly capable; she could hold his hand and still stab An Lulu to death with a single sword strike. Even if there was an element of surprise, the point is, his wife was an assassin.

This shows that his wife was definitely a level above the young Wei Zhuang.

Hu Ji smiled and nodded, acknowledging Cao Ze's statement.

After all, An Lulu was not only a former general of the royal court, but also the number one warrior of the grasslands, and his strength was beyond doubt.

Although she was stabbed to death by Cao Ze using a petty trick, and her death was somewhat unbearable, for her, the more unbearable An Lulu's death was as a traitor, the better!

"Sir, please be careful these next few days, lest the Left Wise King retaliate."

Even without Hu Ji saying anything, Cao Ze would have been paying attention.

He was also unaware of the situation on the Left Wise King's side.

However, An Lulu's death could not possibly leave them without any thoughts.

After all, An Lulu's 30,000 troops haven't lost many yet.

This is a piece of fat meat that has no owner. He doesn't believe that none of these united tribes are without their own ambitions.

Just as Cao Ze had predicted.

When news of An Lulu's death spread, the first to react was the Left Wise King, and the second was Touman, who was at odds with An Lulu.

They directly seized and divided up An Lulu's troops.

The two became enemies because of this.

To avoid being tripped up by the Left Wise King in retaliation.

They fled from the Left Wise King's territory overnight with the troops they had seized.

The remaining tribes also managed to snatch some soup and broth. After discussing it, they decided to follow Touman and leave, scattering like birds and beasts.

Enraged, the Left Wise King cursed and threatened to conquer the tribe where Touman lived.

Upon hearing the news, Touman merely sneered, a desire to unify the wolf clan rising within him. These people were unworthy of controlling power and authority on the grasslands!

The other tribes, who had been hesitant to come to the capital to provide support, received the news and rushed over at full speed to serve the king, declaring that they would fight the Left Wise King to the death.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the Left Wise King glanced reluctantly at the Wolf King's throne that was about to be his, and had no choice but to leave in a huff.

Cao Ze's name thus spread throughout the various tribes of the grasslands.

Everyone knows that the royal court has recruited an extraordinary successor of a military strategist.

Not only was he a master of military strategy, but he could also single-handedly defeat the number one warrior of the grasslands; he was practically a younger version of Li Mu.

Such a turbulent situation and its outcome, from beginning to end, took no more than three days.

Even Cao Ze hadn't expected it to end so quickly and smoothly.

It seems that Xiao Li Mu An Lulu died a worthy death.

He, the "Little Zhuge Liang" praised by netizens, has finally earned his reputation.

Chapter 11 He was too eager to improve.

The Wolf Clan Palace.

Cao Ze, amidst the admiring, praising, and resentful glances of the civil and military officials, swaggered into the main hall.

Unable to resist his smugness, he teamed up with Lady Jingni for a joint attack, defeating An Lulu – a stroke of genius indeed.

Perhaps this can cover up his dark history of using gold juice to the extreme. Isn't it always said that history is written by the victors?

Looking at the whole incident, the only drawback is that he confronted Jingni earlier than planned, and could no longer pretend to be stupid and carry out his daily "development" work with Madam Jingni.

However, if he doesn't reveal his hand, he alone cannot defeat An Lulu.

All I can say is, contentment brings happiness.

So now Cao Ze is very happy and has become quite arrogant.

The way the officials and generals in the hall looked at him changed. They no longer treated him like they had at the beginning, calling him a treacherous Central Plains man and ordering him to be dragged out and beheaded, barking like dogs.

To put it nicely, it's called respecting the strong; to put it bluntly, it's bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

People are in high spirits when they have good news, and the wolf king, who was originally old and weak, was in very good spirits at this moment.

Although the losses were considerable, the capital city was ultimately saved.

As long as the royal city still exists, and he, the wolf king, still exists, it's only a matter of time before things return to normal.

"You deserve the greatest credit for defending the city this time!"

Cao Ze humbly replied, "Your Majesty deserves the most credit; you have the discernment to recognize talent."

The wolf king laughed heartily, then his face darkened.

"The Left Wise King has been eyeing the capital for a long time, and this time he has even rebelled! I have decided that after the snow melts next year, we will launch a campaign against the Left Wise King. What do you think, sir?"

Cao Ze said, "That's how it should be."

The Wolf King slammed his hand on the throne, "Very well, next year you will lead the army to conquer the Left Wise King's tribe!"

Cao Ze was stunned. What? He was to lead troops? Was this because they thought his family was too wealthy?

But the key point is that he was completely inexperienced in warfare.

If he were to fight against the natives on the grasslands, he would surely get beaten to a pulp. Is he really that stupid?

"I will obey the king's command."

Cao Ze agreed. Anyway, he was planning to run away after the snow melted next year, so he didn't care.

The Wolf King smiled broadly and said, "Having said so much, it's time to reward you, sir. What would you like?"

Cao Ze really wanted to ask if he could be sent to the Central Plains, or any country would do.

But looking at the wolf king's enthusiastic gaze, he could only sigh. Being too outstanding is sometimes not a good thing.
