Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 282 Eating Mink
"Not bad!"

"This is truly the greatest joy in life."

Sun Yanwan lay sprawled in the Mufeng Pool, surrounded by a dozen wooden trays laden with fine wine, delicacies, various fruits, and ice. He was completely naked, soaking in the hot spring, every pore of his body screaming with desire…

Yang Diao'er refused to take off her clothes no matter what. She was still wearing a light veil and had half of her body covered by the Ice Silk Fan. Her little face was flushed, and she would blush even more when she glanced at him.

Sun Yanwan soaked in the water for a while, then gently paddled to Yang Diao'er's side. She first gently hugged her and asked if she wanted something to eat. Soon, she tossed the Ice Silk Fan aside and removed the light veil from Yang Diao'er's body...

Half an hour later, Yang Diao'er nestled in Sun Yanwan's arms and suddenly thought, "When we first met, he said he was 'embarrassed,' so this is what it means."

She was truly embarrassed at that moment.

Sun Yanwan hugged Yang Diao'er and said softly, "Thinking back to that day, it feels like yesterday! I never imagined that we've known each other for so many years."

Yang Diao'er suddenly wriggled and chuckled, "Little lecher, have you gotten what you wanted?"

Sun Yanwan was immediately aroused, feeling that if she didn't achieve harmony between yin and yang, she might suffer a qi deviation...

The two stayed at Mufeng Pond for three or four days without coming out.

Fortunately, this Mufeng Pool, despite its name, is actually a huge palace. Sun Yanwan has renovated it and it has all kinds of functional areas, even dividing it into indoor and outdoor sections. If you feel stuffy indoors, you can soak in the outdoor hot spring pool.

It's a pity that Yang Diao'er just wouldn't come out, which is a bit of a shame.

On the fifth day, due to urgent military business, Sun Yanwan had no choice but to change into a Taoist robe and leave Mu Fengchi.

Sun Yanwan climbed to the top of the city wall, only to see a troop of soldiers below. A young prince was swaggering around, shouting and cursing. Looking around, he asked, "Who is this?"

Immediately someone replied, "This is the Tuhun prince of the Northern Yan royal court!"

“He demanded that we cede Kaizhou City and hand over all our possessions.”

Sun Yanwan asked curiously, "Where did this person come from?"

Someone answered, "From Bazhou."

Sun Yanwan was overjoyed. The three cities of Black Dragon City, Kaizhou, and Bazhou were forming a triangular shape. Sun Yanwan captured Kaizhou and renamed it Golden Sable City because it was closer to Black Dragon City and had the fewest troops stationed there.

He had originally planned that after capturing Kaizhou, all the cities in Northern Yan would be on guard, and his plan to impersonate Northern Yan soldiers and seize the city by taking advantage of the situation would no longer be effective. However, he did not expect that this little prince of Tuhun would come to deliver the city again.

He killed Wuyun Subude, and now among the princes of Northern Yan, this Tuhun prince is the most popular candidate to inherit the throne.

The King of Northern Yan even bestowed Bazhou upon this young prince, entrusting him with the defense of this famous city of Northern Yan.

Bazhou is located at the border of Dalang and Beiyan, and there are wars there all year round. Therefore, the city walls are higher and thicker than those of Kaizhou City, and the area is also much larger. However, it is always heavily armed. Dalang has attacked it countless times, but it has never been able to conquer it. It is known as the stronghold of Beiyan and the place where Dalang was suppressed.

Even if he impersonated the Northern Yan army and infiltrated Bazhou City, it would still be a tough battle to seize this magnificent city. Sun Yanwan was determined not to fight a tough battle. After all, although he had swallowed up countless surrendered soldiers, his strength was still extremely weak. Every soldier he lost was heartbreaking, and he did not want to suffer any unnecessary losses.

Sun Yanwan never imagined that one day she would see Bazhou empty.

Judging from the city wall, this Tuyuhun prince may have brought all the troops from Bazhou City with him. Sun Yanwan resolutely said, "I must go see the madam."

In order to consolidate his power, Sun Yanwan called himself King Harsha and ordered his subordinates to address Yang Diao'er as "Madam" instead of sharing the title of "Dual King Harsha" with Yang Diao'er.

He hurriedly went to find Yang Diao'er, and upon seeing her, he said, "The young king of Northern Yan, Tu Hun, has brought all the troops from Bazhou City. I want to personally lead the troops to launch a surprise attack on Bazhou. I'm entrusting Jin Diao City to you."

Yang Diao'er was startled and exclaimed, "Bazhou is a formidable city in the world. Even if all the troops are taken away, it will be difficult to conquer. You must not take the risk."

After three or four days at Mufeng Pond, Yang Diao'er's mindset had completely changed.

Sun Yanwan smiled and said, "If we can take Bazhou in one fell swoop, Jin Diao City and Bazhou will form a pincer movement. Although it cannot be said to be impregnable, even if Da Lang and Bei Yan join forces, it will be difficult to take it in a hurry."

"Moreover, there is absolutely no possibility of Da Lang and Bei Yan joining forces."

"Now that the military preparedness of Da Lang is in disarray, and the Northern Yan is entangled with the Bo Shi Kingdom in the far west, there may be no war in our area for the next few years."

"Once I recruit people and train soldiers, perhaps in a few years I won't be afraid of war between the two countries."

Yang Diao'er knew she couldn't dissuade her, so she could only tell Sun Yanwan to be careful.

Sun Yanwan didn't bring many men, only five or six thousand, most of whom were selected warriors from various tribes of Northern Yan. They opened the city gate from the south and left.

The Tuhun prince cursed for half a day, then led his troops to attack the city. Yang Diao'er put on her mask again, climbed the city wall, and commanded the army to defend the city.

Monk Jin Chan did not expect that he would encounter a war after only a few days in Jin Diao City. However, Shao Chan Temple sent him, a master of external martial arts, because his martial arts were suitable for battle.

This was also a huge investment by Shao Chan Temple. The Golden Toad Monk climbed the city wall and followed Yang Diao'er's command, without showing any arrogance because of his martial arts skills or seniority.

Although Sun Yanwan divided most of his troops to occupy various places, Jin Diao City still has more than 100,000 troops. With such a powerful force, let alone the Tu Hun prince, even if the army of the Northern Yan royal court came, they would probably have to fight a hard battle.

The two sides fought fiercely for a day and a night. Seeing that he could not break through, Tu Hun had no choice but to retreat in frustration.

At this moment, Sun Yanwan, disguised as a Northern Yan soldier, had arrived at the gates of Bazhou City and began knocking on the gates. He ordered his Northern Yan warriors to shout, "We are the garrison of Kaizhou City. Because we lost the city, the Tuhun prince considers us unlucky and refused to allow us to join forces, sending us to Bazhou to rest."

When Sun Yanwan launched his surprise attack on Kaizhou, he had a large army at his disposal, so he first surrounded the city. After sneaking into the city, he seized the city and escorted all the former Northern Yan nobles to Black Dragon City. Therefore, the news did not leak out.

Bazhou knew that Kaizhou had been captured by the Xuanhuang Army, but they were unaware that they had been tricked into opening the city gates. The guards verified Sun Yanwan's identity, and since Sun Yanwan was well-prepared, there were no problems, and they let Sun Yanwan into the city.

As Sun Yanwan led his troops into the city, a general from Northern Yan asked, "How is the Tuhun prince's campaign in Kaizhou?"

Sun Yanwan waved his hand, and someone brought over a large red dragon wood club. He walked over and killed the Northern Yan general with a single blow, shouting, "When I arrived, he hadn't even started the siege yet. How would I know how the battle was going?"

This general from Northern Yan was renowned for his bravery and was a top-tier third-rank expert with numerous merits. However, he never expected to encounter Sun Yanwan and was unable to withstand even a single move, dying a humiliating death.

Bazhou City isn't without its experts, but they've all been taken to Golden Sable City...
