Chapter 1120: Chapter 255: Solo Crosstalk Show

Pei Qin listened to the bustling voices outside, grabbed a short gun and tucked it in her belt, striding out.

Xiao Yong immediately protected her and signaled to Lu Hai, Liu Feng, and his men with his eyes to guard against assassins taking advantage of the chaos.

The soldiers outside the Manufacturing Bureau could barely hold back the crowd, internally wailing. General, why do you have to be a woman?! Isn’t this... isn’t this... Okay! You didn’t deceive their emotions, but isn’t this deceiving these young women’s emotions? Look, they’re almost going crazy!

Pei Qin came out and saw the eager eyes of the crowd in the courtyard, pausing for a moment, "Are you... all so shocked?"

Everyone nodded in unison: Shocked!

"It’s just a woman, what’s there to be shocked about! You’ve seen women before!" Pei Qin rolled her eyes.

The crowd shook their heads in unison again. They’ve seen women, and they see them every day. But the General Pei they so admired, the legendary deity general,—turning out to be a woman, they’re shocked! Just shocked!

Pei Qin coughed and said, "Alright! I’ll go out and handle the situation outside first."

As she was about to walk to the doorway, Pei Qin turned to Xiao Yong, "I’m naturally short, and even with lifts in my shoes, I’m still short. When I go out there, will I get completely swallowed up in the crowd?"

Xiao Yong looked at her with a smile and embraced her, helping her to leap onto the roof.

This was something she would do when Mo Heng wasn’t around. Lu Hai gathered his energy, and along with Liu Feng and a few others, quickly leapt to follow.

The people below immediately saw them, "General Pei! General Pei has come out!"

"No! Why has General Pei’s face turned pale?"

"It can’t really be a woman, right?"

"General Pei! Someone said you are a woman! Is it true?"

"Quiet!" Pei Qin said, and not many people below reacted; some, seeing her come out, were even more excited.

Pei Qin directly fired a shot from her short gun into the sky.

With a loud bang, the crowd immediately quieted down.

"Let’s be quiet for a moment!" Pei Qin put away the short gun and began to explain to the crowd, "I am indeed a woman! I am Pei Hansan, and I am Pei Qin! I am the very Madam Yuanyang you’ve heard about!"

Many people couldn’t accept it, "How can General Pei be a woman!?"

When people heard her admit it, some were overcome with grief, "My General Pei... Wuu wuu wuu..."

Pei Qin gestured for everyone to be quiet, "I didn’t mean to hide or deceive you, revealing my true identity only now... I’ve been following orders! It was the Emperor who prohibited it!" She directly threw the blame onto the Emperor; it used to be Emperor Chu Wen, and now it’s Emperor Yongle. You have an issue with that, go find the Emperor!

The crowd, hearing that it was the Emperor’s prohibition, realized that the Emperor and the court officials already knew she was a woman!

"That’s right! They’ve known for a long time!" Pei Qin nodded, continuing to explain, "When Waci broke through the defense, our Great Chu’s cities fell one after another, and the people were displaced, slaughtered by Waci cavalry. At that time... I received bad news while Mo Heng was in Xining Guard, I went to Xining to find him, didn’t find him, hated Waci to the bone, and wanted to quickly take revenge. But as a woman, I could not join the army, so I had to disguise myself as a man! They complained that my face was too pale, too effeminate, so in a fit of rage, I blackened my face! But then I was too black, and they didn’t want me either! So, I just switched locations, brought my men who knew martial arts into the army—they had to take me if they wanted my men! Buy two get one free! Just like that, I joined the army, got more people, stole Waci’s Thunder Cannon, brought it back for study, and damn, it was just black gunpowder! I can do that! I created something even more powerful to blow you all up!"

She kept talking, and the people listening below were so engrossed they simply looked up in fascination.

The Gatekeeper below the wall looked at her and then at the crowd silently listening, marveling at this divine response, and they couldn’t help but look to the heavens. This is the end of it! Once General Pei starts to charm people, she’s three times as persuasive! These people, already full of admiration and reverence, were completely swayed by her spiel.

What started as a commotion became a meet-and-greet. What was supposed to be an explanation turned into a stand-up routine by Pei Qin.

"That day, it was autumn, and a torrential rain came down! Soaked me to the bone, made me look like a drowned rat! I got a fever! How high did it go? I was so delirious, someone tried to fry eggs on my head, if it hadn’t been raining, those eggs would have been cooked!"

The people below couldn’t help but laugh.

"I’ve been through ninety-nine challenges, reached the banks of the Huanghe River, and there I ran into the main army of Waci’s Crown Prince Gu Liqi, what a big fellow! One hundred and fifty thousand cavalry! We were outnumbered, and they held the fortress pass, so I sat down and thought! I thought for three days and nights! Alright! Finally, I came up with a brilliant plan! I fixed wings to the bombs, let them fly to the sky! Damn it! I don’t believe a bomb dropping from the sky, those Waci brats could dodge it!"
