Song Jue was shocked. When he realized it, he laughed because of extreme anger. ”Zhu Chenggong, look at you now. Talking nonsense like a stupid scholar. Fine. I don’t have all day. Don’t give me one thousand white flag. Pah. Not even one white flag. If you can get me the blood in the same way like Xiao did, I will admit defeat and leave right away with my nephew! Well, what if you fail?”
Apparently, Zhu Chenggong was furious. He decided not to let it go. He shouted with anger, ”Not white flag, just the blood? What difficulty does it have? Just say it. How much blood on the guy’s flag? You are so confident that I will fail. I guess you guys have gathered the blood from lots of men for that flag. Ten or twenty? Well you are making a mistake here. We are short for many things, but the last thing we lack of is human blood! I can get as much as I want! If I can’t make it, I call you father! How’s that sound!”
Song Jue calmed down facing Zhu Chenggong. He spoke in a deep voice, ”You are going to call me dad for sure. Let me tell you something. That is blood from many people indeed. Four hundred and sixty-five young men!”
Zhu Chenggong was shocked. He couldn’t believe it and he said, ”What? You nephew sacrificed nearly five hundred men for that flag? Hundreds of young strong men? Your stupid nephew deserves to die! He has to die! Where is my sword! I am going to avenge those pasted good men!”
Song Jue stared right at Zhu Chenggong’s eyes and fiercely shouted, ”Pah! You want to avenge those bastards? Fine! Let me tell you the truth! Those are over four hundred young foppish lords from the influential families! You know how they hide in the back every time when the army marches for battle? That is their blood!”
Zhu Chenggong opened his eyes wide. If the sockets didn’t hold his eyes tightly, his eyeballs would have definitely shot out. He felt it unbelievable and he looked at Song Jue. ”You… What did you just say? The blood on that white flag is from those bastards that I always want to smash to death… Are you kidding…”
”Hilarious?” Song Jue sneered at Zhu Chenggong. ”You won’t have the chance to see such a thing happen though. Those young bastards had their heads chopped off in front of the king and all those officials… No one survived! You should have seen that… Heads rolling on the floor… At least a hundred of those officials passed out…”
”Urhhhhh…” Zhu Cehnggong opened his eyes big like a bell. Eye sockets were such a hindrance. They stopped the eyeballs from popping out twice at least.
”It was simple. Before they were chopped, he prepared the white flag and a vat. Two hundred men did it together. Chop, chop… A full vat of blood… My nephew, the great Commander Ye, grabbed a huge brush pen and wrote on the flag! He didn’t even look at the king, just led the army out right away like thunder!”
”What the f*ck!” Zhu Chenggong was shocked. ”He did it in front of the king?”
”Yes!” Song Jue nodded.
”In front of those bastards’ fathers? The officials?” Zhu Chenggong couldn’t believe it.
”Absolutely!” Song Jue nodded like a chicken pecking.
”None survived?” Zhu Chenggong was totally astonished.
”Of course!”
”What the hell. What a fierce foppish lad!” Zhu Chenggong admired it right away.
He would never do that. He wouldn’t be able to! He wouldn’t dare!
He might just think about it and that’s all!
