"Rejoice, rejoice! The Wu army stationed by the river has been defeated. General Jia, after detouring, first captured the key city in the rear, then launched a complete siege. The Wu army lost all morale and surrendered after minimal resistance."

"What’s there to rejoice about? General Jia acted on his own. Is he planning to conquer the Wu Kingdom and declare himself king?"

Two men, dressed in the robes of high ministers of the Jin Kingdom, were arguing.

Beside them stood a man in a red robe with short whiskers and a sinister glint in his eyes, listening intently.

No matter how the two argued, the man in the red robe remained utterly calm until a rotund martial artist clad in iron armor, with a menacing demeanor, approached him from the side and gave his report. Only then did the man in the red robe show a change in expression.

He seemed to have heard something delightful and laughed heartily, "Good, good, at last they’ve all been captured, finally all captured, hurry, hurry, hurry."

He hurriedly left the tent, only to see piles of iron cages not far away, filled with handsome men and beautiful women. Though they appeared despondent, they showed no signs of illness, indicating that despite being imprisoned, they were still well taken care of.

Outside the tent, three beautiful young women stood, each exuding charm and beauty of a different kind: one seductive, one pure, and one intelligent.

The man who had come to report earlier was almost glued to the sight of the three women, his eyes tracing their forms. He leaned towards the menacing rotund martial artist and asked, "Laughing Butcher, what kind of play is this?"

Laughing Butcher let out a cold snort, "You fools, all you think about is General Jia, but His Highness had everything prepared long ago."

He pointed towards the iron cages from afar, "Those are offerings for the Immortal Sect."

Then, pointing to the three women before him, he said, "This is Princess Yongjia of the Wei Kingdom, this is Princess Huaining of the Shu Kingdom, and this is Princess Qiushui of the Wu Kingdom, the greatest beauties of the royal families of the Three Kingdoms, offered to that great person."

With disdain, Laughing Butcher continued, "You only see the petty victories from afar without understanding the reason behind them. His Highness is truly farsighted..."

The other two quickly nodded, their expressions turning to one of realization, as they began to praise His Highness’s wisdom.

...

The "Furnaces" were soon transported to the market at the foot of Puppet Sect Mountain.

This market was no longer at the foot of South Bamboo Peak but under Paperman Peak instead.

Stalls, high buildings, iron cages, and the bustling presence of evil cultivators, great thieves, and Jianghu miscreants could be seen, along with the second prince of the Jin Kingdom—Ma Zhao.

The mingled scents of rouge, herbs, fine delicacies, and mountain mist, with a faint odor of decay from somewhere unknown, created an ever-growing, far larger marketplace than existed before.
