Qinyijie Guizhang didn’t react violently as expected. Instead, he ordered another jar of wine to drink while listening to the monkey say, "Your master is someone with extremely strong control desires; nothing could happen without his control in his army. In times of war, one must do everything possible. I don't blame him; if Qinyijie Guizhang had the power to wipe out Song troops, he wouldn't have spared any. Of course, I would give him three chances before killing him.

  This man who looks like a woman is the ultimate victor. If you see him, congratulate him on his victory. He fought exceptionally well; he was ruthless and decisive, with perfect control over hearts. Qinyijie Guizhang doesn't deserve to lose!"

  The monkey, seeing praise for his master, grinned and brought half a roasted sheep. Proudly, he said, "Our master is a renowned general who has won every battle. Victory is not something special."

  Qinyijie Guizhang tore off a piece of meat and ate it, saying, "With such friends, I have nothing to say. But why should a lion learn to be a rat? Hahaha, I have an alliance with Dongzhuan; we agreed to live or die together. How can I just leave?

  Monkey, tell your master that before turning me into wax, prepare well and use the best craftsman. I heard such wax figures can last for many years, so my standing time will be longer."

  The monkey was confused. "Why would you become a wax figure? Young Master Li Chang hasn't the guts to harm you!"

  Qinyijie Guizhang smiled and said, "You don’t understand. For some people, living is more painful than dying. Don't waste your master’s efforts on me; I won't go back to Qingtang because it's already a dead place. I won't go to Lhasa either; there are only foxes there who would mock me. And going to Song? I fear becoming a ruffian. Kowtowing to Wuzang E'peng in Western Xia? What an idea! As for your master’s Yellow Turban Huihe, forget it. The Qingtang people have already died enough to fulfill his ambitions; I won't drag the Yellow Turban Huihe into this. I know your master's next target is Western Xia. For Yellow Turban Huihe to survive safely, they must stay far from him; he’s poisonous and should be avoided." r1152
