Distant Mountain Battle Song

Chapter 72 The Woman Who Can Eat the Most

The purpose of today's meal is very clear: to find a shortcut for Feng An and Liang Kun through Zhang Min. Yun Ce thinks Zhang Min should understand this.

This is a terrible deal in itself, and when talking about such a deal, it's best not to mention anything noble or great about the people involved.

Even though Yun Ce has a thick skin, he can't stand Zhang Min's humiliation.

Seeing Yun Ce throw down his chopsticks and leave, Zhang Min smiled and handed the empty bowl to E Ji, wanting her to continue filling it with rice. E Ji ignored her, but Liang Kun, who was always tough, took the bowl and filled it to the brim for Zhang Min.

This time, Zhang Min ate even more. It was as if she hadn't eaten at all. Even after she was full, she kept eating, as if she would never eat again after this meal.

When Zhang Min ate three or four bowls, Eji was very angry. When Zhang Min ate the eighth bowl, Eji began to worry about her. By the time Zhang Min ate the twelfth bowl, Eji had already snatched her bowl away.

After swallowing the food in her mouth, Zhang Min said to Yun Ce, who had come back, "Believe it or not, I could eat twenty bowls of this kind of food."

Yun Ce frowned and said, "If you like, there will be more tomorrow."

Zhang Min said, "I will come to eat here again tomorrow."

"Aren't you afraid of overeating and hurting yourself?"

Zhang Min suddenly became excited, patted her chest twice, and said, "I'm not afraid of stuffing myself to death!"

Yun Ce gestured for everyone at the table to leave, then sat down opposite Zhang Min and asked, "What exactly happened to you?"

Zhang Min raised her hand and tore open her clothes. Her clothes were thin, and she was only wearing a red bodice underneath, exposing a large area of ​​her snow-white skin to the air.

Her chest was full, making her bodice look like a tent. Yun Ce's gaze was not drawn to her full female features. He was more concerned with the numerous scars that cut Zhang Min's fair skin into countless sections.

Yun Ce couldn't understand how she could have so many wounds. Just above her chest and down to her neck, there were cuts, stabs, burns, and arrow wounds. Her belly, bulging from the food, still showed off her muscular abs, and there was a clear scratch from a wild animal. Judging from the scars around the scratch, her belly must have been ripped open.

"It's truly remarkable that you've survived until now."

Yun Ce stepped forward to help her straighten her clothes and put away the rice bowl in front of her, saying, "There's still a chance to eat. If you eat again, it won't be enjoyment, it will be suffering."

Zhang Min straightened her clothes and said indifferently, "I once went fifty-six days without eating a single proper meal. I survived by eating grass roots and drinking ice water. At that time, I felt like I was a horse or some other livestock. In short, I wasn't human."

From then on, whenever there was food, I would eat like crazy. Although I've recovered a bit in the last two years and am not as greedy, yesterday and today's meals have triggered my hunger again. I just want to eat more, as much as possible, because once I finish this meal, there won't be another one.

Yun Ce didn't speak. He could tell that Zhang Min was very eager to confide in him today, so he just listened. By the way, he was also very curious as to why this woman, who seemed to live a life of luxury, had experienced so many cruel things.

Zhang Min lifted her skirt, revealing a fresh wound above her knee that hadn't fully healed, and asked Yun Ce, "Does it look familiar?"

Yun Ce nodded and said, "I did it."

Zhang Min sneered and said, "This is just a minor wound."

Yun Ce pondered for a moment and said, "No matter what caused this wound, I can agree to help you once."

Zhang Min laughed and said, "You think I'm pitiful?"

"No one dares to pity you."

"Then sleep with me and leave me a son."

"what?"

Zhang Min looked at Yun Ce calmly and said, "I am a woman. When I reach the age to have children, I should have children. Didn't you say you were going to kill me back then?"
Come on, let's see if you have the ability.

Yun Ce shook his head like a rattle drum. He didn't want to do the things he wanted to do back then at all now. Given Zhang Min's fierce state just now, who knows who slept with whom?

"If you're afraid of the scars on my body, you can cover yourself with a blanket. My face is still quite pretty."

Faced with Zhang Min's oppressive gaze, Yun Ce shook his head repeatedly. He once again sighed in his heart that since he came into this world, apart from E Ji, there had been no normal events that he could bear.

Seeing that Yun Ce was a boring and unpleasant person, and that E Ji and the others had taken away the food from the table, Zhang Min left with a message that she would participate in the martial arts competition tomorrow, and picked up her knife and left.

Yun Ce looked back at the three faces of the traitor's descendant, the corrupt official's descendant, and the villain's descendant who were peering at him from the door frame, and suddenly felt that the whole world was against him.

We shouldn't have steamed those baby beans in the steamer; we should have steamed him instead.

Regardless, Yun Ce wanted to reach a higher platform so that he could dispel the fog before him and see this unfamiliar world more clearly.

"Get ready, Feng An and Liang Kun, you're going to participate in the grand competition tomorrow, you're guaranteed to pass. I'm going to participate in the martial arts competition tomorrow, although I don't know what the result will be, I should also pass."

We urgently need more resources and a higher platform to truly experience the might of the Han Dynasty.

Feng An asked, "What kind of guarantee do you want? Are you going to have her child?" Yun Ce waved his hand irritably and said, "I don't believe you didn't see the scars on that woman's body."

Eji smiled and said, "I have no scars on my body."

Liang Kun sighed and said, "No matter what caused her so much harm, I think this woman is amazing and I admire her."

Most importantly, despite paying such a heavy price, I saw no regret or remorse in her eyes. I don't know why she is so concerned about the host family. I only know that she is getting an easy advantage now, but we may pay an even heavier price in the future.

"Whether or not to accept her help is something we urge you to think carefully about."

Yun Ce said coldly, "Let's climb up first and then talk about other things. There might be other options later. As things stand, this is the smoothest path."

"Eji, prepare my bow and arrows, and my spear. I'll go see her tomorrow."

Feng An said, "I didn't prepare for the martial arts competition before, so I don't know anything about what's going on there. I'll go out and find out now."

Eji pouted and said, "My lord is the most amazing."

Yun Ce sighed and said, "I used to think that there was no one more powerful than me in the world. Whether in Pingyuan City or Sheyang City, I could do whatever I wanted."

"Eji, do you still remember the scene of the pig king being killed?"

When Eji heard Yun Ce say this, it immediately brought back memories of a boar king as strong as a mountain. It was chased and killed by two small teams of cavalry. Not only was it completely dismembered, but the cavalry didn't even want the pork; they just wanted to kill the boar king.

"My self-proclaimed invincibility was not so secure in Sheyang City. After encountering the Pig King, the Bear King, and two other terrifying people in the wasteland, I realized that I was not confident in defeating them, whether it was the Pig King, the Bear King, or those two people."

So let's be careful for now, and only continue this carefree life after we've truly understood the nature of this world.

Eji knew this was directed at her, so she quietly agreed.

As Zhang Min stepped into the Yuncheng Commandant's residence, Commandant Zhou, who was reclining on a brocade couch, saw Zhang Min and her bulging belly from afar through the hall. His originally handsome face was immediately shrouded in gloom.

As soon as Zhang Min walked in, she scolded angrily, "Are you binge eating again?"

Zhang Min rubbed her stomach and said, "His cooking is so delicious. If I could have a meal like this at Tiewei Pass, I would have no regrets even if I died in Guifang Plain."

“You’ve used up your trial qualifications. Don’t keep bringing up Iron Enclosure Pass.” Captain Zhou offered Zhang Min the brocade couch to lie on and prepared to press on her abdomen.

Zhang Min immediately raised her hand to stop her, saying, "I can't bear to give it up. Without me, Iron Enclosure will be weaker. I want Liu Chang'an to fill the gap; he's stronger than me."

"You didn't mention Iron Enclosure Pass to him, did you?"

"No."

"That's good. Let us risk our lives and let them continue their decadent lifestyle."

Zhang Min bit her lip and said, "I don't understand. The Iron Enclosure Pass blocks the Ghost Fang. Over the years, they have become stronger and stronger, and more and more of our people have died in battle. The replacements are getting weaker and weaker. Now, even the Black Armor Army, which you haven't fully trained, is being sent up."

If this continues, it will be inevitable that the Guifang will infiltrate the Han Dynasty.

Lieutenant Zhou shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. The Grandmaster has already gone to Guifang. Let's see if we can sit down and discuss it. Over the years, we have suffered heavy losses, but they haven't fared much better. A truce would be the best outcome."

Zhang Min gave a bitter laugh and said, "Even if a Grandmaster is eloquent, he can't convince the guys from the Gui Fang side. You have to understand, this land originally belonged to them. Our ancestors, who came riding dragons, drove them out with the help of the divine dragons and occupied this land."

Do you think it's possible to resolve such hatred?

Their sole purpose in existing is to exterminate us.

Lieutenant Zhou laughed and said, "You're always so worried. Didn't you say you'd have a baby after returning from Iron Enclosure Pass? What, have you changed your mind?"

Zhang Min sighed and said, "The man of Qi who worried about the sky falling, can you tell me where he was from? Was he from the place where King Huo came from?"

Captain Zhou continued with a smile, "You see, you have this habitual anxiety. We have lived on this land for thousands of years and will continue to live on forever."

The Guifang have only grown powerful in the last hundred years or so; we can deal with them.

Zhang Min laughed and said, "The dragon didn't come to Chang'an, but appeared at Tianzhu Mountain. I don't believe you're not worried?"

Commander Zhou shrugged and said, "Isn't abandoning the Divine Dragon and making one's own decisions exactly what our Emperor demanded? Now that he has been abandoned by the Divine Dragon, isn't that exactly what he wanted?"

Zhang Min looked bewildered and muttered to herself, "Is the Crown Prince really better than His Majesty?"
