Pick up a princess to be your wife

Chen Quanzhong, dragging his broadsword, led a group of soldiers to meet them.

Although he was shocked by the morale of the White Horse Army and impressed by the general's murderous aura.

But this does not mean that Chen Quanzhong is a good-for-nothing.

Someone who can become a bandit leader cannot be a useless person.

The broadsword in Chen Quanzhong's hand moved like trying to catch the moon's reflection in the sea, leaving a long trail of sparks as it scraped against the ground.

He raised his broadsword high and swung it at Zhao Cuo.

After Zhao Cuo cut down one person, he then used his sword to block the attack.

A terrifying force traveled from the narrow knife to his palm, and Zhao Cuo felt as if his palm was about to be shattered.

This person actually possesses the strength of the peak of the fourth rank.

But it doesn’t matter.

On the battlefield, it's not about individual strength that matters.

His bravery does not mean that all members of the Green Forest Army are brave.

Otherwise, the Green Forest Army wouldn't have been able to advance to the city center with Zhao Cuo and 500 men in just a quarter of an hour.

After Zhao Cuo took two steps back, Chen Quanzhong chased after him with his sword.

Chen Quanzhong originally thought he could kill Zhao Cuo with one strike, seeing that Zhao Cuo was full of flaws.

However, the White Horse Army reacted extremely quickly, with seven or eight men immediately rushing forward and working together to block Chen Quanzhong's head-on blow.

As Chen Quanzhong sheathed his sword, he was already surrounded by more than a dozen White Horse Army soldiers.

There were tens of thousands of Green Forest Army soldiers in the city, and Chen Quanzhong was surrounded by the White Horse Army as soon as he arrived.

However, it will not be easy for the White Horse Army to kill him.

After resisting for a while, Chen Quan felt a sense of powerlessness.

These lowly soldiers are not martial arts masters at all. Even the more skilled ones are only at the sixth or seventh rank.

However, given his individual strength, it would be difficult for him to successfully kill even one of the opponents under such circumstances.

Their teamwork was absolutely perfect!

Waves of Green Forest Army soldiers rushed over, trying to relieve Chen Quanzhong's predicament, but they were driven back wave after wave by the White Horse Army.

Chen Quanzhong, unable to fight off four opponents, was forced to retreat in defeat.

The general then charged forward again.

With the help of seven or eight White Horse Army soldiers and the cover of the White Horse Army on the perimeter, Zhao Cuo forced Chen Quanzhong into a corner in less than a quarter of an hour.

An arrow shot from an unknown location, striking Chen Quanzhong's helmet squarely.

With a loud "bang!", the helmet shattered.

At this moment, several lances thrust towards Chen Quanzhong without warning.

"stop!"

Zhao Cuo suddenly shouted.

The battle between the two sides stopped as if by some strange twist of fate.

Zhao Cuo took two steps forward and looked at Chen Quanzhong.

Just now Chen Quanzhong thought he was going to die, but now he thinks Zhao Cuo is going to capture him alive.

To everyone's surprise, Zhao Cuo suddenly took off his helmet, revealing a young face.

Although Zhao Cuo's face was almost covered in blood, Chen Quanzhong still recognized him at a glance.

Back in Bai Yujing's prison, Chen Quanzhong led a group of brothers to rescue people. When they were desperate, their lives were saved by the person in front of them.

Chen Quanzhong vividly remembers Zhao Cuo leaving behind the three words "White Horse Army" and disappearing into the night.

"It's a good thing your helmet was shot through, or you would be dead."

"My benefactor, it turns out it was you..."

Chen Quanzhong felt there was no need to continue fighting, so he knelt down on one knee in front of Zhao Cuo.

"Our benefactor did not leave his name back then. May I ask your honorable name?"

"Zhao is wrong."

Upon hearing this name, Chen Quanzhong was filled with awe.

"So my benefactor is none other than the famous Duke of Chu!"

Zhao Cuo was known as the fiercest general of the White Horse Army, a reputation that was widely recognized.

Chen Quanzhong never imagined that the person who saved them back then would be this formidable figure.

"I lent you a helping hand back then, and now the White Horse Army has conquered the land. Yet you lead a rebellion; isn't that repaying kindness with enmity?"

Chen Quanzhong immediately knelt down on both knees and kowtowed.

"I am not an ungrateful person, but I have unspeakable difficulties. My life, Chen Quanzhong's life, was given to me by the general. If the general wants to kill me, I will not say a word!" Chen Quanzhong said, prostrate on the ground.

He always remembered the life-saving grace of the White Horse Army, so he never thought of rebelling.

He was merely swept up by the tide of events and coerced by others.

"Should we fight again?" Zhao Cuo asked.

"The sinner shall submit to the general's judgment!"

Zhao Cuo sneered.

“Consider yourself lucky that I came tonight. If anyone else had come, you would have been dead. Since you have no desire to fight anymore, then stand up and talk,” Zhao Cuo said.

Chen Quanzhong lay on the ground, too afraid to get up.

Zhao Cuo stepped forward and helped Chen Quanzhong up.

"If you have any difficulties, you can explain them to me," Zhao Cuo said.

Chen Quanzhong sighed, his face full of conflicted emotions, and he hesitated to speak.

"What can't a real man say?"

“My young lady is being held captive. And I, Chen Quanzhong, am also being controlled by others because of this. I had no choice but to raise an army in rebellion,” Chen Quanzhong said.

"Because of your young lady, you've gone against the greater good? You've plunged countless people into misery? Is that your reason for rebelling?" Zhao Cuo said coldly.

“My life was given to me by the Yun family. The Yun family only has Miss as their sole heir. I, Chen Quanzhong, cannot disregard Miss’s safety,” Chen Quanzhong said.

"never mind."

Zhao Cuo was too lazy to argue with Chen Quanzhong about anything of principle or anything like that.

Actually, he wasn't a particularly righteous person.

If this man were willing to pull back from the brink, he would be willing to spare Chen Quanzhong's life.

“We don’t know much about the Green Forest Army. Since you are a leader of a major force, you must know some inside information,” Zhao Cuo said.

"This……"

“You should know that the Green Forest Army’s rebellion is doomed to fail. You have so many men, but you can’t defeat my five hundred. No matter how many Green Forest Army soldiers you have, how much trouble can you cause? If you are willing to talk, there is still a glimmer of hope for you. If you are not willing to talk, then even if I, Zhao Cuo, misjudged you back then and failed to save you.”

Chen Quanzhong kept his eyes fixed on Zhao Cuo.

With his abilities, he simply couldn't rescue the young lady.

If he were to defect, the young lady would surely die.

However, if the White Horse Army is willing to lend a helping hand, they might be able to save the young lady.

"General, is it possible to rescue my young lady?" Chen Quanzhong asked.

"Do you think now is the time for you to negotiate with me? Or rather, do you even have the right?" Zhao Cuo said coldly.

"I am indeed not qualified to negotiate with the general..."

In the end, Chen Quanzhong made up his mind.

Chen Quanzhong wasn't a smart man, but he knew that stubbornness would lead to a bad end.

Perhaps by abandoning darkness and embracing light, there is a glimmer of hope.

"General, let's talk inside."
