Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 525: Chapter 221: Zhao Feng: For Qin, Follow Me to Battle!

Inside Yuyang City!

Yue Cheng’s residence.

Outside, many Yan Army soldiers were guarding.

It seemed Qing Qin wanted to prevent Yue Cheng from committing betrayal again.

Inside the residence were Yue Cheng’s hundreds of trusted aides.

Although his position was that of a Senior General, the favor he received was far less than that of a Great Qin General.

He could not have more than five hundred trusted aides.

Yue Cheng was drinking alone in the residence.

Suddenly.

“Who?”

A few trusted aides outside the hall shouted in surprise.

But in the next moment, there was the sound of a scuffle.

Bam.

The hall door was slammed open by a few trusted aides’ bodies.

A man in black rushed into the hall.

Almost in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Yue Cheng.

“Who are you?”

Yue Cheng’s expression changed, and he quickly grabbed the sword beside him.

“Qin.”

The man in black uttered a single word.

Upon hearing this.

Yue Cheng’s face changed again.

“A Qin spy lurking in the city.”

“You actually dare to barge into this general’s residence.”

“Are you not afraid of death coming here alone?”

Yue Cheng gripped the sword handle and said coldly.

Outside the hall.

Numerous trusted aides of Yue Cheng gathered, glaring menacingly at the man in black.

“By order of General Zhao Feng, I’ve come to offer General Yue Cheng a way out.” Ying Bu said calmly.

Covered in black clothing, only Ying Bu’s eyes were visible outside.

Upon hearing Zhao Feng’s name.

A gleam flashed in Yue Cheng’s eyes.

He then waved his hand.

The trusted aides inside the hall immediately retreated.

The hall door was closed as well.

“Why did Zhao Feng send you?”

“Speak directly.” Yue Cheng said in a deep voice.

“The King of Yan is suspicious of the general, Qing Qin even confines General Yue Cheng here.”

“Yan cannot possibly withstand when we Qin attack; since the King of Yan does not trust you, general, why serve Yan loyally?”

“Now is a golden opportunity.”

“As long as the general is willing to assist our army in entering the city, the Senior General will surely reward you greatly.”

Although Ying Bu did not uncover his face, his expression was exceptionally serious.

“My military power has already been taken away, how can I assist?”

“Sir, please leave.”

“Today, I’ll pretend I didn’t see you.” Yue Cheng said in a deep voice.

“General Yue.”

“The Senior General said.”

“Should you choose to surrender to Qin, high ranks and riches will be yours without skimping.”

“Confined here, does General Yue believe the King of Yan will show you favor in the future?”

“If Qin breaches the city, the King of Yan will first seek to deal with you.” Ying Bu continued speaking.

Listening to Ying Bu’s words.

Yue Cheng appeared to ponder.

After a long period.

“How can I believe your words?”

“If I really assist the Qin army into the city, would Zhao Feng betray me after getting what he wants?” Yue Cheng showed a hint of intention.

“Qin is not Yan, and wouldn’t stoop to betrayal after success.” Ying Bu said with great seriousness.

Yue Cheng wrestled with his emotions for a moment before saying: “Fine, I agree to help you lead the Qin army into the city.”

“Tomorrow, Qin will launch an attack.”

“How will General Yue Cheng provide assistance?”

“How will you distinguish your troops?” Ying Bu asked immediately.

“Although my military power was removed, Qing Qin hasn’t had the chance to remove the command from my loyal commanders. I still control forty to fifty thousand troops stationed at the East City Gate. I will order all soldiers to wear black cloth tied to their arms, just waiting for General Zhao Feng to lead troops from the East Gate into the city.” Yue Cheng thought, then replied immediately.

Ying Bu appeared confused: “Why doesn’t General Yue directly lead the troops to attack the West Gate guarded by Qing Qin?”

A cold light flashed in Yue Cheng’s eyes, then he said: “The city’s forces number nearly four hundred thousand. My troops can’t change the outcome; tens of thousands of soldiers can’t break through Qing Qin’s defenses. But if Qin troops can enter the city, they can create a front-and-back pincer attack.”

Ying Bu immediately showed a look of realization: “I see, the alliance is formed, and I will immediately relay General Yue Cheng’s words to the Senior General.”

“Sir, just inform General Zhao Feng.”

“The King of Yan fears me, Qing Qin continually guards against me.”

“I have had enough.”

“Tomorrow, Qin attacks; I’ll open the East City Gate to welcome the Qin army into the city.” Yue Cheng immediately showed hostility toward Yan.

“It’s settled then.”

“After the city is breached, the Senior General will personally thank General Yue Cheng.” Ying Bu said with excitement, then cupped his hands and turned to leave the hall.

Yue Cheng followed directly: “I’ll escort this brother.”

As he spoke.

Yue Cheng also followed him out.

Outside the hall.

Seeing Ying Bu come out, many trusted aides glared furiously.

However, seeing Yue Cheng come out, these trusted aides did not move.

“General Yue, see you tomorrow.” Ying Bu laughed and then took out a grappling hook, tossed it onto the roof, and pulled himself onto the rooftop, gradually disappearing.

Watching him leave.

A trusted aide approached: “General, do we really surrender to Qin?”

“Who said that?”

“Back then, I surrendered to Zhao state out of force, to save ten thousand brothers from needless death.”

“Now, with Yan in mortal danger, though the Great King doesn’t trust me, how could I, Yue Cheng, betray?”

“Let’s go, see Qing Qin.” Yue Cheng laughed, his eyes showing determination to live and die with the country.

At Qing Qin’s residence.

Having heard what Yue Cheng said.

A gleam flashed in Qing Qin’s eyes, followed by a hint of shame.

He slowly stood up, bowing to Yue Cheng: “General Yue, receive Qing Qin’s respect.”

“Why is General Qing doing this?”

Yue Cheng immediately stepped forward to lift Qing Qin up.
