Chapter 182: One Yue woman is worth three thousand
Ying Chengjiao reached out to touch the Yue girl's face.
The Vietnamese girl trembled as if she wanted to escape, but in the end she did not move.
"Such a beautiful face doesn't look good when it's angry."
Ying Chengjiao stroked the Yue girl's face. His hand felt smooth and cool to the touch. The more he touched, the more he wanted to touch it.
The hatred in the Yue girl's eyes was as vast as the sea and her anger as fierce as fire.
She pursed her lips and said nothing, letting Ying Chengjiao's hands slide and pinch her face.
Reluctant to take his hand away, Ying Chengjiao covered his mouth and yawned, then walked around Yue Nu and went out of the hall.
"I'm going to bed, you can do whatever you want."

It's late at night and everyone is asleep.
Ying Chengjiao's footsteps, as the only source of sound in the hall, seemed particularly loud.
The Yue girl turned her back to Ying Chengjiao.
The sound gradually faded in her ears.
Taking a deep breath, the Yue woman said with a look of humiliation: "The Queen Mother has been delivering food and cloth to the Baiyue people for ten years. The help she has provided to the Baiyue people is immeasurable."

The footsteps were getting smaller and smaller.
There was no change in frequency.
The Yue girl was very anxious and quickly stood in front of Ying Chengjiao. She looked at Ying Chengjiao's sleepy face and shouted angrily.
"I've already told you, what else do you want?"
"But I'm very sleepy now and don't want to listen." Ying Chengjiao tried to move Yue Nu's body but failed. He had to circle Yue Nu again and said, "It's getting late. You should go to bed early too."
The Yue girl stood in front of Ying Chengjiao again.
She couldn't be sure whether Ying Chengjiao would ask for another carrier pigeon, pen, ink, paper and inkstone to write a fatal letter to the girl of Baiyue.
"What. Do. You. Want.?"
The Vietnamese woman spoke each word with great emphasis, and with every word she spoke, her heart ached a little more.
She had never been so humble.
Zhao Ji had never treated her like this.
"I want to sleep, don't block my way."
Ying Chengjiao rubbed his eyes and continued to avoid Yuenu. Yuenu pursed her lips and stood in front of Ying Chengjiao stubbornly.
Ying Chengjiao sighed deeply, looking helpless.
"I asked you to speak before, but you refused. Now I don't want to listen, but you insist on speaking. Not everyone in this world revolves around you. You can do whatever you want. Get out of my way!"
The Yue girl refused to give way and kept blocking Ying Chengjiao with tears in her eyes.
She possesses unrivaled martial arts skills, and there is almost nothing she cannot do.
When in doubt, kill it with a sword.
But regarding today's matter, she was not indecisive, she was decisive.
She hated Ying Chengjiao so much that she wanted to kill him with a sword and be done with it.
But she couldn't do that. If she killed Ying Chengjiao with one sword, it would be equivalent to killing all the Baiyue women.
Since she left home, Yue Nu has never cried again, because she has never suffered any injustice again.
Now, her tears were slowly piling up in her eyes, and she was about to cry.
"You can ask me to listen to you if you want me to." Ying Chengjiao said lazily , "Beg me."
The Vietnamese girl gritted her teeth, tears rolling down her face, leaving a trail of crystal tears.
She never asked anyone for help.
Now she is asked to beg Ying Chengjiao to listen to her, which makes her feel that her dignity is being trampled upon.
Given a choice, she would rather be killed than accept humiliation.
But she didn't.
The letter in her hand told her that whether she begged or not would determine the life and death of thousands of Baiyue women.
"Please."
He uttered these two words through gaps between his teeth in a very stiff and reluctant manner.
After the first tear fell from the face of the Vietnamese girl, her tears could not be stopped. They kept overflowing and flowing down, forming two small rivers on her face.
Ying Chengjiao pointed to the ground in front of him.
"Get down on your knees."
The Yue girl suddenly opened her eyes wide, her eyes were about to bulge out of their sockets.
The internal force in her body surged like the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, constantly washing through her meridians, as if she could no longer bear Ying Chengjiao's humiliation.
The sword in its scabbard at her waist began to tremble and sway, as if asking its owner to pull it out immediately.
Even if it was cut from a long sword to a short sword, it would still help its master avenge the shame.
"Will you kneel or not? If not, I'm leaving."
Ying Chengjiao didn't care.
He turned sideways again, trying to get around the Yue girl.
The Vietnamese girl's face was as pale as a dead person, and the struggle in her heart was beyond the understanding of outsiders.
Zhao Ji's additional support for the Baiyue land could only make her kneel down on one knee willingly.
Asking her to kneel down in front of Ying Chengjiao was like driving a chariot over her dignity.
She bit her red lips, and the blood made them even redder.
Crash~
She crumpled the letter paper in her hand into a ball and rubbed it back and forth in her palm.
Relax your hands and calm your internal energy.
Pieces of paper slipped from her palms, just like her dignity that was about to shatter.
She closed her eyes in despair and bent her legs.
What greeted her was not the hard ground, but a pair of arms that made her feel very warm.
Ying Chengjiao hugged her, but she did not kneel down.
There were only two people in the hall. Yue Nu quickly realized that the arms belonged to Ying Chengjiao, and immediately felt that the arms were no longer warm.
But she didn't dare to break free, as she didn't know what the consequences would be.
She opened her eyes, and a hint of warmth involuntarily appeared in her hatred towards Ying Chengjiao.
In the end, Ying Chengjiao did not let her kneel down.
"I was just joking with you, why did you kneel down?"
Ying Chengjiao said with amusement.
He was in high spirits, and all the sleepiness he had just felt seemed to have been driven away by the Yue girl's kneeling.
"What do you want?"
The Vietnamese girl said with tears on her face, exhausted.
She did not kneel down, but she also no longer had the courage she had before kneeling down.
Ying Chengjiao pulled Yue Nu to the main seat. This time, Yue Nu not only did not resist physically, but she also did not have any thoughts of resistance in her heart. She just let Ying Chengjiao pull her over.
Ying Chengjiao let go of Yuenu's hand and sat next to her. He didn't sit right next to her, but he didn't sit too far away from her either.
Snap~
Ying Chengjiao pulled the sword from Yue girl's waist three inches, and then inserted it back.
"I want you to be my scabbard."
The Yue girl looked down at the sword, then raised her head blankly, her eyes a little dull.
She thought she had suffered enough humiliation, but the humiliation she suffered today was beyond the limit.
She is still too optimistic...
"You haven't been humiliated enough."
The Yue girl knew that she was beautiful, but she didn’t think she was that beautiful—the kind of beauty that could make Ying Chengjiao, who had killed Lu’er without hesitation, give up his revenge on her.
She believed that Ying Chengjiao was still humiliating her.
After destroying her spirit, we must also destroy her body.
The look in her eyes when she looked at Ying Chengjiao was no longer full of hatred, but half hatred and half fear.
After she became an apprentice, she was no longer afraid of anything with a sword in her hand. There was nothing that her sword could not cut.
But her sword could not cut Ying Chengjiao, who had grasped her weak spot.
"King Gou Jian of Yue slept on firewood and tasted gall, and restored his country and destroyed Wu as a slave, making Yue the hegemon of the Spring and Autumn Period, which became a legend. His deeds will be passed down for thousands of years, and as long as there are people on this land, he will always be the object of praise.
"Not many people remember the tragic fates of the Yue women who were used as inspiration by their kings and played with at will. The future generations will at most remember Xi Shi, but will not remember that there was a mountain called Yuenu Mountain, where there were constant cries at night all year round. I remember that."
The Yue girl's breathing was rapid, but her eyes were much softer. She lowered her head and did not look at Ying Chengjiao.
The Yuenu Mountain that Ying Chengjiao mentioned was the place where she received the Yuenu Sword.
"What do you want to say?"
"King Gou Jian of Yue entered Wu and became a slave of King Fu Chai. This was because he had made a mistake in judgment and did not listen to the advice of his ministers. He had brought this upon himself. He slept on straw and ate bitter food, and used the beauty trap to get the Yue girl Xi Shi to enter Wu to persuade King Fu Chai.
"His own wife, Yayu, was in the arms of the envoy of Jin State, but he tolerated it. I suspect that Gou Jian's mind was already twisted at that time. How could a normal person, a king, invent the system of a concubine?"
During the Spring and Autumn Period, King Gou Jian of Yue returned to Yue from Wu.
In order to boost the morale of the army, King Gou Jian of Yue implemented a very practical but extremely unethical policy - the soldier's wife system.
This system refers to the Vietnamese country sending women who have lost their husbands to a mountain.
Any soldier from the State of Yue could go to that mountain and vent his desires on these women.
Because of this system, widows in Yue State would become tools for sexual gratification, so widows in Yue State would remarry even if they had to pay money. As a result, there were no widows in Yue State for a while.
Without widows, there should be no more women on this mountain. However, this is not the case. The number of women on this mountain has been increasing.
Ying Chengjiao had read the history books of the Yue State which had long been lost in his time, and there was a clear record in them.
Since there were no widows in Yue State, King Gou Jian of Yue secretly expanded the scope of capture from widows to women.
As long as a woman is a woman, she may be captured and taken to the mountains to be used as a military prostitute. The king of a country took the lead in kidnapping people.
The implementation of this system, at the expense of Vietnamese women, solved the physiological problems of Vietnamese soldiers who could have died at any time. It indeed improved the military strength of Vietnam and made it invincible for a time.
But the sequelae are also extremely obvious.
In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and even in the Qin Dynasty and the early Han Dynasty, as long as people were alive, restoring the country was a matter of course.
It was just like when Qi was reduced to only two cities, it was able to make a comeback and recover 72 cities in one go.
It is just like the struggle for supremacy among heroes at the end of the Qin Dynasty, when Han, Chu, Wei and other countries briefly restored their independence one after another.
But the State of Yue was different.
After the Yue State was destroyed, the original Yue people dispersed and went to the land that would later become the Baiyue.
In other words, the Yue people have always been there, but the Yue nobles were unable to summon the Yue people to restore their country.
The Yue people lived in the land of Baiyue and had no intention of following the Yue nobles to the Central Plains.
Facts cannot be changed.
Many of these Yue people were descendants of Yue women who were captured on that mountain back then. They were originally girls from good families but became military prostitutes. The system of King Gou Jian of Yue capturing Yue women as military prostitutes as soldiers' wives could not be covered up at all.
Everyone has a wife, mother.
The Vietnamese people fought desperately on the front line.
When he got home, he saw that his wife and mother were trapped in the mountains and raped.
Which normal Vietnamese person would be willing to do that?
Who would be willing to risk their life for such a country?
"That mountain full of sins was later called Yuenu Mountain. Legend has it that the Yuenu Sword was a martial art bestowed by the gods out of pity on the victims of Yuenu who were obsessed with their lives after their death."
"This technique is said to contain the obsession of all the victims on Yuenu Mountain to protect themselves. It is extremely powerful."
"The successors of the Yue Girl Sword in every generation must call themselves Yue Girls, and take it as their responsibility to protect all Yue Girls. It is said that the person that Yue Girl loves is the one who is loved by all the sacrifices of Yue Girls."
"The technique I practice is the Yellow Emperor. It is said that one must have sex with three thousand women daily to lose his virginity. To remove the restriction, I need your love."
One Vietnamese woman is worth three thousand men.
