Chapter 1436: No Choice

Just as the ambush battle was in full swing and Cao Cao's main army was falling into chaos, an unexpected "peach blossom luck" quietly descended upon Ma Chao.

Ma Chao, as a fierce general of Xiliang, had always been known for being brave in battle and heroic, yet in the midst of this tense war, he encountered an unexpected romance.

That day, the fighting temporarily came to a pause, and Ma Chao led a small team to patrol around the battlefield to prevent the remnants of Cao Cao's army from counterattacking. While marching, they discovered a small village, with smoke curling from kitchen chimneys, appearing exceptionally tranquil. Ma Chao felt curious and decided to enter the village to scout.

Just as he stepped into the village entrance, a crisp and pleasant singing voice attracted his attention. The sound was like a spring bubbling, and also like an oriole leaving a valley, crisp and yet not lacking in softness and beauty. Ma Chao followed the sound, only to see a woman in plain clothes washing clothes by a small stream at the edge of the village; the singing voice came from her mouth.

The woman had a delicate face, brows like distant mountains, eyes like autumn water, skin white as snow, and hair like dark clouds; every movement revealed a kind of natural beauty without any carving. Ma Chao saw this in his eyes, and his heart could not help but surge with a strange feeling; it was a gentleness and tranquility he had never experienced in his many years of campaigning. ===== CHAPTER 1437 =====
