How come I, who has the physique of a succubus, was pushed back by the ship girl?

Izumo was stunned. Even the Dragon and Phoenix had never had such a huge ambition. How could a mere general like Guinu dare to ask for such a huge amount of money?

Izumo has once again refreshed his own bottom line.

If she was not sure that Gui Nu and Zhou Xuan did not know each other, she would almost doubt whether the girl in military uniform in front of her was an undercover sent by Zhou Xuan.

From the time they met until now, it can be said that he has been helping her to prove the wisdom of joining Zhou Xuan's camp at all times, and every move has been pushing her into Zhou Xuan's arms. What a great assist.

He wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. In order not to reveal his flaws, Izumo had to put on a frown and act like a prince who was displeased when his authority was challenged.

Jokingly said.

"Let's discuss this later. My central army tent is in front of us. If you have anything to say, we can talk slowly after we get inside~"

Although he didn't understand why Izumo's tone suddenly had a hint of gloating, Kinu, who was used to being superior, still walked in nonchalantly.

It was not until everything before her refreshed her cognition, when the hostile Tiancheng appeared right in front of her with the strange young man sitting in the main seat next to it, that her expression finally changed.

She tried to draw her sword, but a sharp blade was held against her neck. It turned out to be Izumo, who was faster than her.

"You...what are you doing? Are you...betraying His Majesty?"

Without saying a word, Izumo just looked at the surprised Kinu in silence. How aggrieved he felt just now, how happy he felt now.

"Isn't it a little late to realize it now? You're right. Izumo... I've been a Donghuang person for a long time~"

"Do you have anything else to say now? Are you still thinking about my military power?"

"Dear Ghost~Angry~General~"

"Damn it! Damn traitor! I will definitely...definitely kill you!"

There was a fierce look in his eyes, but it didn't matter to her. Izumo lightly touched the forehead of Guinu and said jokingly.

"Well, let's see if that day comes. No matter what, I'm here, waiting for you anytime."

He let out a long sigh, and the quarrel between the two came to an end.

As Ibuki came in later, she brought everyone an expected news.

"Lord Izumo, Lord Zhou Xuan, we have already controlled all of the 8,000 elite soldiers of the Oninu, and incorporated them into the Izumo family crest. Please give us follow-up instructions."

"Let's do this for now. Take Kinu to the prison and keep him under strict guard."

"Yes."

Ibuki came and left quickly, and after receiving the order, he left the tent and went ahead.

At this moment, only Zhou Xuan and three other people were left in the central military tent which had returned to silence. Just as they had agreed before, now was the time.

A glance passed by and Amagi and Izumo understood each other. The former was responsible for summoning the generals of Iwate Prefecture, and the latter was responsible for summoning the generals of her headquarters.

They gathered together and waited in the wide parade ground, waiting for the alliance ceremony to officially begin.

Soon after, the voice calmed down and Zhou Xuan's figure appeared on the high terrace. Next to him was Izumo, the daimyo who was on par with Akagi.

Just listen to Zhou Xuan saying.

"Everyone, success depends on man, and planning depends on heaven. The situation in the court has changed drastically. The loyal and good people are no longer here, and the monarch is controlled by others."

"For the sake of stability in Sakura, we should unite together, purge the emperor's entourage, rectify the emperor's ears, jointly defeat the treacherous officials behind the scenes, and restore the court to a clean and clear state."

"Earlier, when no one believed us, we still followed our duty as subjects and did our best."

"Now, with your support and trust, we will surely be able to overcome difficulties and accomplish this great feat, leaving our names in history!"

"Let everything start with us!"

After such an impassioned speech, the generals under Zhou Xuan's command were already excited and cheered enthusiastically.

However, due to Izumo's silence, three or two ship girls in her headquarters still had concerns. Except for Ibuki, they all looked at each other, and finally directed their questions to her, hoping that she would set an example.

Izumo knew that a double act could not be performed solo, and now was her time to come on stage.

Without any hesitation, she drew her sword very quickly. In a flash, she pulled out the knife from her waist.

Then he held it vertically in his hand and moved it straight down, leaving a bright red blood streak.

Then he took a step forward and dripped his blood into the bowl in front of Zhou Xuan.

Waves and ripples arose, and the water was slowly diluted into reddish clear water, which merged with Zhou Xuan's blood, completing the famous alliance ceremony in Donghuang history.

Blood oath.

Finally, after Zhou Xuan had drunk most of the water, Chu Yun raised his hand that was tightly holding the bowl, with a sparkling look in his eyes, and announced loudly to everyone.

"Don't worry too much, everyone. This... is my determination!"

Chapter 310: Suruga's choice, the path of dragon and phoenix

After the alliance, Zhou Xuan, who rushed back from the front line, went to his second place without stopping.

That is the prison where Long Feng Junhe is imprisoned. Here he has a second important thing to do.

"Okay, the current situation is war or peace, alliance with me or resistance to the end, how to decide, have you two made your plans?"

There were no outsiders present, and they followed Zhou Xuan all the way to the room where they had been interrogated before. The two people who followed were very quiet and did not give any response for a long time.

Zhou Xuan was not surprised that Suruga was like this. In their previous contacts, she always gave him a feeling of calmness, indifference and tranquility.

These are indeed the qualities that a general should possess, and the two of them actually get along pretty well.

What really surprised Zhou Xuan was Long Feng's attitude, which was not right since they came back.

He rarely restrained his edge, no longer looking aggressive, and always seemed to be on guard.

His eyes wandered around, and for a moment he was in a daze, he couldn't tell where his mind had gone.

Long Feng was stunned until Zhou Xuan reminded him for the second time, then he suddenly woke up and hurriedly answered his questions.

"Does it really matter whether it's war or peace?"

"For us now, now that we have become your prisoners, these are meaningless..."

"You own our personal rights, so naturally, you have control over us. Why... do this again? It's disgusting."

Even after waking up, Long Feng's voice was still low.

She became like a traveler who had suddenly lost her purpose in life. Her words were lifeless and without vitality, and even her ability to attack others was gone.

Everything was caused by her and the decision of the court. Zhou Xuan knew it clearly.

"If you want to say that I am doing this unnecessarily and that the so-called solicitation of opinions is just a hypocritical show, I have no room for rebuttal."

"It seems to me that this is indeed the case."

"But I'm not impatient. What I really want are two complete and healthy partners, not puppet-like props."

"I sincerely hope that you can think about it carefully. Izumo and the others have already recognized our original intention. It's time for you to think about it carefully as well."

"You should know that every decision you make now is not for me, but for yourself, for the sake of compromise and temporary gain."

"It's for Nagato, for the world, for the entire Sakura Empire!"

At the end of the day, all Zhou Xuan left her with was endless reflection. She couldn't help herself, and sometimes, she saw the young man in front of her out of the corner of her eye.

She would be thinking, this is the traitor she was ordered to fight? Why is he rebelling against Tian Gang and encouraging her to turn back?

The key was his unwavering gaze, the gleam in it sparkling in her eyes, making her feel an urge to obey.

The dragon and the phoenix were shaken.

In her mind, the image of her lord, Mikasa, Musashi, and Nagato, whom she served, became increasingly blurred, and was gradually replaced by the young man named Zhou Xuan, whose figure gradually became clearer.

However, she still refused, and weakly and slowly expressed her thoughts.

"Forget it, Zhou Xuan."

"From a personal perspective, I actually admire you. If you and I were not in opposition, I would like to make friends with you."

"But...I am a soldier, I...I have reasons that I cannot give up."

"Have you really made up your mind?" Zhou Xuan wanted to try one last time, but Long Feng had already made up his mind.

"Well, I've thought about it."

A forced melon is not sweet. In that case, let's just leave it at that, Zhou Xuan sighed.

"I see. You've already made your decision, so there's no point in keeping you locked up any longer."

"You can leave tomorrow morning. I will have the girls take you out of the city. It's up to you wherever you go."

"Really?" Long Feng widened his eyes in disbelief.

After waiting for Zhou Xuan's second confirmation, she finally closed her wide eyes, lowered her gaze, and stared blankly at the wooden table where Zhou Xuan rested his hands, in a daze.

"I think you have already made a decision together before today, so I won't waste time. You can go back first."

"Let's take a final rest. Tomorrow morning, we should be ready to set off."

After saying that, Zhou Xuan pushed the chair away with his upright body, stood up, and pretended to leave.

At this moment, Suruga took the opportunity to stop him.

"Hey, Zhou Xuan, aren't you going to ask for my opinion?"

He stopped walking forward and faced the two people's gazes focused on him because of the sudden accident. Zhou Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked.

"So...what do you think, Miss Suruga?"

She had never been active before, but now at the critical moment before separation, Suruga was not vague.

She quickly left the table, came in front of Zhou Xuan, and spoke directly.

"I want to know everything you know."

"Is the court really as you say, full of crises and doubts?"

Loyal but not blindly loyal. Judging from Suruga's performance, there is still hope for a turnaround.

Soon, Zhou Xuan told her everything he had learned from Tiancheng, Chicheng, and even what he had speculated based on the current situation.

All of a sudden, there was an uproar in Suruga's heart.

"You mean, we are now living in a dream world? How...how is this possible!"

"Everything here, all the people and things, seem so real. Now you are telling me that all this is just a mirage. I cannot accept it."

Her beautiful eyes opened wide, and she immediately doubted the truthfulness of Zhou Xuan's words, and couldn't help but clench her fists.

"I didn't frame you, everything I said is true."

"Whether you believe it or not, we have confirmed that there were some unstable magnetic fields here. It is indeed like a virtual space."

"If all else fails, you can think carefully back to every day and night of your life, whether you have ever had any signs of trance, whether you have ever recalled a certain face."

"A face that looks like yours but exudes a different look. That's you. Or rather, that's the real you!"

Her thoughts gradually deepened, and the clenched fists on both sides slowly loosened. Junhe thought carefully, and her findings were consistent with what Zhou Xuan said.

After a long, long time, she finally came out of her deep memory, opened her eyes, and walked straight towards Zhou Xuan, getting closer.

Then, she knelt on one knee as if swearing allegiance, and said.

"Then there is only one answer."

"If this is the only chance to find the truth, to find myself, then I am willing to follow you, Lord Zhou Xuan."

"I am Suruga, Suruga of the Sakura Empire."

Chapter 311: Akita County, Akagi is in danger!

What can be considered true and what can be considered false?

Although Long Feng still didn't quite understand Suruga, she couldn't help feeling a little sour when she saw the smile on Zhou Xuan's face because of Suruga's joining.

But once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back, so she left anyway. She returned to the prison alone and began to prepare for her departure tomorrow.

On the other side, just as the situation in Suruga was settled, Amagi brought the cleaners to find Zhou Xuan.

They were in a hurry, and it was obvious that they had been running for a long time. The intense exercise made their breathing heavier and they gasped for breath.

Zhou Xuan hurriedly reached out to comfort her.

"What's going on? It's the middle of the night, why are you in such a hurry?"
