【Before Battles】
With Sun Ce’s help, the food shortage of Nanman was resolved, saving the nation from a great turmoil. However, a threat appeared suddenly.
A scout at the border discovered an army was approaching from the northwest. Zhurong and Meng Huo immediately set out to reinforce the defence.
Zhurong: According to the soldier’s report, the army consists of two forces. 20 percent of the army is Nanmanese, the remaining is Cao Cao’s.
Meng Huo: ...So there are traitors in the tribe to borrow men of Cao Cao and attack us?
Zhurong : Right, but I can’t think of anyone who is capable of doing this.
Zhurong: Now only you have the blood lineage as a chief. And our people won’t be convinced if we find someone else to be the chief, except——Emm!
Meng Huo: Dear!
Zhurong felt dizzy all of a sudden; her body lost balance as she blacked out. Worried, Meng Huo caught her in time.
Zhurong: “Vertigo and nausea are getting more and more frequent lately...could it be...No, I should stay focused on the enemies.”
At the moment, footsteps came from the outside.
Soldier: Report. Enemy’s envoy is expecting you.
【After Battles】
Meng Huo: I didn’t——
Zhurong: Let him in.
Meng Huo: But your body…
Zhurong: I’m fine.
With her insistence, they called in the envoy and knew that the enemy’s general intended to negotiate peace, provided that Meng Huo attended the meeting. In view of Zhurong’s pale face, Meng Huo said immediately.
Meng Huo: Let me go. You stay and rest.
Zhurong: No, you can’t handle it alone. I’m coming with you...Emm!
However, Zhurong fell to a chair as the strong dizziness kicked in. Meng Huo’s face became grim when he saw that.
Meng Huo: If you insist, I’ll turn down the negotiation then.
Zhurong: NO! This is a good chance to sound the enemy out. You can’t miss——
???: I’ll go with Meng Huo.
Meng Huo: Sun Ce...how are your legs?
Sun Ce: Ah, I’m fine. Still a little rusty on running, but overall it’s okay to walk around, all thanks to your help.
Sun Ce and his father tried to overthrow the tyranny of the new emperor, but were defeated by Cao Cao. Sun Ce then fell off the cliffs; fortunately he was saved by Zhurong and Meng Huo.
Although his legs were paralyzed due to injuries, Sun Ce managed to heal his legs with perseverance.
Meng Huo: Dear, now you can rest assured. I got Sun Ce’s company.
Zhurong: ....Okay.
