Chapter 157 Being a Marshal's Daughter Isn't Easy
This great war was a disaster for all living beings on Earth. At that time, superhumans could be seen fighting everywhere, and a war could break out at any time.
The Empire's criminals were already powerful, and with the addition of organization, they went from fighting alone to working in groups, doubling their combat strength across the board, putting the Alliance under great pressure.
On one occasion, two of Ren Tantao's generals attacked the alliance's capital together, and arrogantly remained in the capital despite the alliance's full military force being mobilized.
In this situation, the Alliance still lost track of them and were completely helpless. Just when the Alliance leaders were worried sick, Taishu Yannuo stepped forward.
He offered a plan to the leaders: using the information he knew, he captured a woman in the alliance's territory and deployed a large force to guard her, sending the capital's strongest fighting force there.
Just as everyone was puzzled, the empire's leader, Ren Tantao, sent a signal, recalling his two generals. The two had been hiding quietly, and the alliance's people couldn't identify them. But once they tried to leave the alliance's capital, they were essentially exposing themselves, making them much easier to find.
Both of them were later beheaded by Marshal Dongfang. During this incident, Taishu Yannuo, who devised the plan, quickly rose to prominence and was recruited as an advisor by Marshal Dongfang.
After becoming a member of the staff, Taishu Yannuo no longer hid himself. He had a secret information channel and always knew some little-known information. He collected and used these little-known information and always managed to produce unique effects.
He and the then-Eastern Marshal, one a scholar and the other a warrior, were considered the only two heroes among the people of the Alliance at that time.
The war between the Empire and the Alliance has been going on for decades and there is still no clear winner. However, humanity has entered a period of fatigue with war, and the frequency of wars has gradually decreased. Although the Empire and the Alliance are still hostile to each other, their relationship has eased considerably.
Taishu Yannuo, through his illustrious military achievements, established his own power base and became a marshal. However, his relationship with his former employer, Marshal Dongfang, was somewhat delicate. Taishu Yannuo was ambitious; he desired immortality and naturally couldn't accept a subordinate position. His rise from the bottom was inseparable from Marshal Dongfang's support, so in the eyes of the people, Marshal Dongfang always held a higher status than Taishu Yannuo. Moreover, they had always considered Taishu Yannuo as Marshal Dongfang's subordinate, even though they were now equals.
Taishu Yannuo's unilateral hostility towards the Dongfang family was naturally perceptible. Although he wasn't afraid, he was still somewhat wary. This led to the upper class viewing the Taishu family and the Dongfang family as enemies, while the common people saw them as one family!
Oh, right! The alliance actually has three marshals: the Dongfang family, the Taishu family, and the Wang family. However, compared to Marshal Dongfang and Taishu Yannuo, this Marshal Wang is incredibly low-key. Although Taishu Yannuo and Marshal Dongfang are enemies, they did fight together in the past, so the alliance's higher-ups are wary of them. Thus, they supported the Wang family, who also control a portion of the military force. However, they are not as strong as the Dongfang and Taishu families, and their prestige is not high. The public has no idea how someone from the Wang family became a marshal, and relatively few people recognize Marshal Wang.
Aside from that, Yu Liu couldn't ask too many questions. Just as Yu Liu was thinking about how to get more information out of her, two drops of water suddenly fell in the room.
"Tick tock-"
The sound came from the maid's hand.
A fleeting look of panic crossed the maid's face.
Yu Liu touched her chin and boldly guessed, "Open it and let me see!"
As for what Yu Liu wants to open, that's a matter of opinion; in any case, Yu Liu doesn't know what she wants to open.
"Miss, it's just a regular text message. It's probably a bill from the telecommunications company. I forgot to pay it recently..."
Because she had easily fooled Yu Liu before, the maid's vigilance had lowered, and she tried to lie again.
A text message! Yu Liu's inner voice jumped for joy. To be honest, if she could, she would rather find something similar to a cell phone in this world to search for the information she needed online, instead of trying to get information out of her here. But the technology here is so advanced that she has no idea what a cell phone is.
This maid was indeed sent by heaven to help me; whatever I wished for came true.
"A bill..." Yu Liu's eyes widened with curiosity as she moved closer to the maid, tapping the stick on the ground with her toes. "I've never received a bill before! I want to see what it looks like. Open it for me!"
Yu Liu said in a commanding tone.
The maid felt inexplicably uncomfortable listening to her words. This pampered young lady obviously didn't know what a bill looked like!
Yes, it's your own hands and brain. When you open it, you can just switch to the billing page as you like, right?
With that thought in mind, the maid immediately felt relieved.
"Yes, Miss."
She lowered her head, struggled to reach out her right hand, and gently stroked the middle finger of her left hand.
Yu Liu then noticed that she was wearing a very small ring on her left hand. Calling it a ring wasn't quite right; it was more like a thin thread tied around her middle finger, so small that you wouldn't notice it unless you looked closely.
After she reached out and touched it, a screen popped up in front of her, floating in the air. In the center of the screen, an adorable little boy was smiling: "Master, what are your orders?"
Yu Liu watched in amazement, feeling as if she had returned to the time when she fulfilled her wish for the second time. Was she like that back then, hiding in her phone?
Yu Liu stretched out her right hand and touched her left hand. Sure enough, she felt the same tiny ring on her left index finger and was immediately relieved.
Over there, the maid didn't ask the cute little boy for help; instead, she laboriously opened the information interface manually.
Yu Liu knew she must have done something wrong, but she didn't say anything. Anyway, she got the information she wanted most.
"Miss, look, this is the bill I just received."
Yu Liu wasn't curious about the bill to begin with, so she naturally stopped pretending to be stupid. She kicked the stick that was always at her feet and hit the maid on the head.
"You...you..." The maid clearly did not expect Yu Liu to suddenly make a move.
Sorry, it was a slip of the hand!
Yu Liu's explanation of being inattentive.
After the maid completely fainted, Yu Liu hid the stick in her hand, then untied the maid, tidied everything up, opened the door, and asked someone to notify the patrolmen to take the maid away.
As for what became of the maid, that was none of her concern.
