I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse

Chapter 955: Chapter 955: Subordinate’s Admiration

Cheng Chuliang’s mother, Lady Cui’s Family, had also been a female general in her time; she was as close as sisters with Meng Family. Both women retired after getting married and having children, dedicating themselves to their households and educating their progeny. With that explanation, Cheng Chuliang was left with little to say, especially since Wu Zhao’s cultivation was indeed higher than that of ordinary people, having reached the "Combined Martial Realm."

"Who just spoke? Step forward." You said with a hint of a wicked smile on your face, glancing over the crowd of more than two thousand. Those who met your gaze felt a chill spreading through their entire body, making them shiver involuntarily.

"It was me." At that moment, a tall man with a black beard stepped out from the crowd. His face was dark as charcoal, with eyes like copper bells, and his face was covered in a thick beard, making him look extremely burly and fierce.

"Not bad, a real man." You nodded, "Speak your doubts."

"I just wanted to ask plainly, why would the General bring female relatives to the military camp? Military law is strict; does the General not know that?" The black-bearded man was clearly not intimidated by your aura; instead, he took a step forward and stared at you with blazing eyes.

"What is your name?"

"Black Teeth Changzhi."

"That surname is rather unusual; are you not from the Tang people?"

"My grandfather was from Baekje. After the Great Han annexed Baekje, my grandfather moved the family into the Tang Dynasty."

"Hmm, I admire your forthrightness, and I’d like this opportunity to clarify something to all the brothers in the company," you glanced back at Wu Zhao and said with a smile, "This lady is my wife, and at the same time, she is my comrade-in-arms. We fight enemies together on the battlefield, we defend the land of the Tang Dynasty together, and we protect our home together. Now tell me, everyone, when did we violate the military law?"

You publicly declared Wu Zhao as your wife in front of so many people, which left her speechless with shock. No, it was not just shock, but rather joy mixed with surprise. Which man would have the courage to acknowledge an older wife like her in front of so many people? Hot tears once again uncontrollably streamed down her cheeks.

Black Teeth Changzhi was also surprised by your honesty. He originally thought that Wu Zhao was a maid or the like, not expecting her to be your wife; from appearances alone, this woman was old enough to be your mother. But Black Teeth Changzhi was a man of principles, his convictions had to be shattered with facts, or he would not back down.

"But General, we cannot trust the Honorable Lady’s strength on your word alone."

"How insolent, who are you to speak here?!" Cheng Chuliang was provoked by Black Teeth Changzhi and was about to discipline him but you stopped him.

You smiled and said, "If an enemy had said that, you would have been dismembered by now. I am well aware of my wife’s strength, as for everyone else, you only need to know my own strength."

With that, you turned and walked towards a watchtower not far away.

The watchtower was quite simple, made from a tree pole about one meter in diameter, planted in the ground and roughly seventeen or eighteen meters tall, with a simple platform set up about fourteen or fifteen meters high for keeping watch.

Amidst everyone’s puzzled gazes, you reached out your right hand toward the watchtower. A smile was still on your face, but at that moment, some sharp-eyed onlookers noticed a faint golden glow emanating from your right hand. Then, to their stunned amazement, you seemed to effortlessly lift the entire watchtower, and with a "bang,"

You treated the seventeen or eighteen-meter high watchtower as a weapon, slamming it down onto the open ground, causing all the soldiers to cover their ears in pain and kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Who wants to come up here and spar with me?" You looked provocatively at Black Teeth Changzhi.

"I am willing," to your surprise, Black Teeth Changzhi accepted your challenge.

"Good!"

With a loud shout, you re-planted the watchtower into the ground, and the observant among the crowd noticed that it seemed to be driven deeper than before, appearing slightly shorter. You stood opposite Black Teeth Changzhi, a smile still on your face but it turned sunny, albeit one that sent shivers down the spine.

Black Teeth Changzhi still maintained a stern face, he bowed to you and said, "General, no offense!"

Knowing he was no match for you, Black Teeth Changzhi still chose to confront you head-on. He swung a fist at you with not great speed, but it was steady and well-balanced between offense and defense. Wanting to assert your dominance, you did not wish to waste any unnecessary motions. In a blur, you disappeared from sight, and by the time they could see your figure again, Black Teeth Changzhi was flying through the air like a cut kite, crashing hard into the sand thirty meters away.

"Brother Luo, Isn’t your hand a bit too heavy? Black Teeth Changzhi is one of the most capable company captains in your company!" Cheng Chuliang twitched nervously upon seeing this; your brute strength was truly terrifying. Cheng Chuliang had a profound understanding of your strength, and he also noted that your power appeared more refined than before.

"I know, but for such a stubborn bull, it’s necessary to subdue him first, or they might not execute my orders fully in the future. I don’t want people like that, no matter how capable they are." You beckoned to Black Teeth Changzhi, who was struggling to his feet, and that sinister grin once again spread across your face, making the surrounding soldiers’ skin crawl.

However, to your mild surprise, Black Teeth Changzhi didn’t approach you again. Instead, he kneeled on one knee and said boldly, "I submit!"

"How so, not continuing?"

"General, I respect your divine power, but until I and the others witness the Honorable Lady’s abilities, our stance will remain unchanged."

"Fucking hell, you really are asking for a beating, but let it be. As I anticipate, the battle will start soon enough. As long as you can save your lives, you will naturally see my wife’s strength." Truth be told, you also didn’t know much about Wu Zhao’s strength, but from what she displayed in battle, her capability was decent, enough to take on a hundred by herself.

"If that’s the case, then I shall not stay any longer, and as you said, we are likely to have a large battle by tomorrow. Li Zhengfeng and Meng Tian have been confronting each other for years and know each other’s temperament very well. Just earlier, General Li stated that tomorrow will be a fierce battle."

"So you’re saying that tomorrow we’re facing the armies led by Meng Wu?"

Meng Tian was the son of Qin Kingdom’s Valiant General Meng Wu, who was also the teacher of Emperor Fu Su and as renowned as Qin General Wang Jian, so one could imagine his strength.
