Zombie Princess - Chapter 55

  In the camp, Chen Wang was practicing his sword in the open space.

  A guard came to report, “General, that son of a bitch is shouting again, this time not only bad-mouthed you but also-”

  “Say,” Li Wang glanced over.

  “He slandered the princess, saying that she was the woman he didn’t want, but you held it in your palms, and you wore a green hat by yourself, which was the best thing in the world …”

  The guard’s voice was getting weaker and softer, seeing the king’s cold, iron-like look.

  Chen Wang didn’t wait for him to finish, and inserted the sword back into the scabbard and strode up to the city wall.

  The Guangdong Army was stationed thirty miles outside the city.

  The 13 cities on the border, formerly occupied by South Guangdong, had been recaptured by Chen Wangs. After capturing Pei Cheng, instead of chasing after victory, he stationed the army there for recuperation.

  However, the South Guangdong army was unwilling to stay still. From time to time, they harassed and yelled under the city walls.

  Previously, Chen Wang was indifferent when they called him names, but now he was angry. They dared to insult the girl in his heart. If they are so eager to die, he had to fulfill their wish, right?

  Chen Wang stepped onto the city wall, got a bow and arrows from the side, mounted the arrow, and pointed it at the south Guangdong soldier who was shouting. 

  The soldier thought that he was in a safe zone and didn’t stop when he saw Chen Wang pulling the bow.

 “Chen Wang? I’m going to rename you, Green-Hat Wang, in the future! You also picked up the broken shoes* that our Wang Ye didn’t nee–”

  The word “need” hadn’t been said yet, and the arrow shot swiftly, passing through the clouds at speed invisible to the naked eye. 

  When it reappeared, it was already inserted in the soldier’s neck.

  He covered his neck, and it was bleeding. His mouth was still open, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he fell immediately with a bang.

  There was dead silence over the South Guangdong side.

  This arrow not only shot down a soldier but also broke their courage.

  They never imagined that Chen Wang could kill someone with an arrow from such a long distance.

  The Qi’s morale was high as they cheered.

  They looked at the opposite side and accurately noticed the King of War’s figure.

  A few miles away, the former master and his dark shadow fought with each other.

  “Open the gate and fight!”

  With Chen Wang’s order, the soldiers in Peicheng rushed out, like black dragons, swept southward.

  Drums of War, roars, horseshoes … the sounds intertwined with battle cries.

  Chen Wang led the iron knight elite team. Like a sharp knife, they were invincible and stubbornly inserted themselves into the enemy’s core and launched an overwhelming slaughter.

  The War continued for a day.

  When the twilight came, the blood-stained land finally calmed down.

  The South Guangdong lost, and the remaining troops guarding the King of War tried to retreat. But how could Chen Wang let the tiger return to the mountain?

  He threw the spear in his hand. There was fierce friction in the air, as it traveled to the King of War.

    The spear hit the warhorse under his seat. A painful hissing sound rang through the wild, the warhorse jumped and threw the King of War down.

 The King of War still had to get up, but at the next moment, Chen Wang came to him riding a horse and stepped on him.

  The King of War vomited blood and fainted.

  When he woke up, he was already in a prison cage.

  His hands and feet were tied with iron chains, and the cage kept constantly bumping, indicating that he was traveling.

 The Qi soldiers who were dressed in black clothes surrounded him.

  The King of War opened his mouth to say something, but he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and he coughed suddenly.

  Blood accompanied by visceral debris spurted out.

  The cough didn’t stop, the King of War covered his mouth in pain, and the blood leaked through his fingers.

  Defeat, he was defeated!

  This fact beat him more than being a prisoner.

  The team marched to Beijing during the tumultuous period.

  When the rotten leaves, rotten eggs, and stones were thrown at him, the King of War remembered the scene when he was once returned with victory as the Qi’s Prince. 

  He was the hero in the people’s eyes, the King of War!

  They cheered him warmly, with their eyes full of worship and admiration.

  His entree was full of glory, but now everyone spurned him as if he was smelly.

     The King of War looked at those who scorned him.

  In the crowd, a familiar figure passed by. He rushed to the fence to see it clearly but was instantly blinded by a smelly egg.

  By the time he wiped the stinky egg liquid away, the person was gone.

      In the horde, Luo Yiren tried to run away from the crowd. Everyone was trying to squeeze forward, but she desperately wanted to step out.

  She kept shaking her head, refusing to believe everything she had just seen.

  The King of War she knew was handsome and mighty. How could he turn into this state?

  The person she loved was obviously The King of War, who sat on the horse and accepted everyone’s cheers.

  Across the crowd, her eyes firmly fixed on Chen Wang’s face, slowly falling into an obsession.

Miao:-

*Broken shoes: loose women, who mess with men. 

In ancient times a woman who sold the flesh hanged an embroidered shoe as a cover outside the door of the house. The embroidered shoes became “broken shoes” as the days passed, and the wind blew. So “broken shoes” became a name.

*Pat one’s ass and leave: Leave without any responsibility. 

In ancient times, people would sit or kneel on the floor. It was inevitable that their buttocks would cover with dust. Therefore, they patted their ass to remove the dust and also undo the wrinkles on clothes after sitting for a long time.

In terms of etiquette, when you get up and say goodbye, you must follow a set of etiquette: bowing, arching your hands, and saying something. 

If a person stands up and just pats his butt and leaves, it means that the person is very impolite, very unkind, or he doesn’t care much. The most common response they got was: This person didn’t even say a word of thanks. He just patted his ass and left.
