With her dual plant and beast-mastery superpowers, Lu Wanyin is reborn back to her wedding night. Her husband is a general, strong and well-built. Unfortunately, the next day the new emperor orders...
Chapter 51 My husband is indeed very capable
Lu Wanyin tried several times but still couldn't push Xie Jingci away.
She raised her hands weakly: "Um...I, I can't breathe."
Upon hearing this, Xie Jingci suddenly let go of his hand and retreated several steps as if he was on fire.
Lu Wanyin took a deep breath, and her nostrils were still filled with the cold pine scent that belonged to someone unique.
It smells really good.
I don’t know how this person did it, he still smelled so good while walking all the way.
She looked at Xie Jingci with amusement: "Are you really that excited? You're a god of war! Why are you acting like a brat?"
Only then did Xie Jingci realize that he had acted too aggressively.
Under the cover of night, he quickly calmed down.
He apologized, "I didn't mean to do that. I was just too shocked and lost my composure."
Lu Wanyin waved her hand nonchalantly, "It's okay. We're husband and wife now. It won't hurt to hug you."
Xie Jingci: ...
Coming from Lu Wanyin's mouth, these words didn't seem so difficult to understand.
He paused and asked, "How did you do it? Dig out the entire mine?"
Lu Wanyin raised her chin proudly: "You said I'm a celestial being, so I naturally have my own ways."
She patted Xie Jingci's shoulder in a pretentious manner and said, "Young man, there are still many things you can't imagine. There will be many exciting things in the future."
He stared at Lu Wanyin intently: "You are exposing yourself to me without reservation, aren't you afraid that I will covet you?"
Lu Wanyin's lips curled up slightly, her eyebrows and eyes flying: "If you dare to covet it, I will kill you!"
As his eyes moved, there was naked determination to kill Xie Jingci easily.
Xie Jingci smiled even brighter.
He said, "It's a pity. I won't covet it, and I won't give you the chance to kill me."
Lu Wanyin was very satisfied with this answer: "That's right, follow your sister Lu and you will have everything you want."
Xie Jingci smiled and said, "From now on, I'll have to rely on Sister Lu."
Lu Wanyin glanced at Xie Jingci.
She also came from this era and knew very well that the idea of male superiority and female inferiority was deeply rooted here and that most men were chauvinistic.
Not only does he have no ability, but he also has a ridiculously strong self-esteem.
This is especially true for people like Xie Jingci who once held high positions.
But he can calmly accept that his wife is better than him, and he is not ashamed of relying on his wife. He truly appreciates her. This is rare.
In short, he is a good partner to work with.
The key is that it has been identified and is very powerful.
The two walked back side by side.
Xie Jingci glanced sideways at Lu Wanyin beside him and curled his lips silently.
His wife is so capable that she will surely be able to protect herself when something happens.
But he still willingly followed me into exile.
From now on, he would protect her with his life and would never let her suffer any injustice.
When the two returned to their resting place, Xie Jingci had already regained his previous composure even when faced with a crisis.
“Wuwuwu…”
Then I heard the sound of suppressed sobbing coming from the grass ahead.
Lu Wanyin remembered that Xuan Qi should be waiting nearby.
Even if he gave this place to others to cry, he would come out and remind them in advance.
The case was solved, and it was Xuan Qi who was crying.
Xie Jingci hid behind the bushes, put his right hand to his lips, and blew out a pleasant bird song.
Lu Wanyin raised her eyebrows.
This sound was exactly the same as the bird song before the bandits appeared.
Let’s just say, this kid is very capable, and not just in that area.
Surprisingly, the person crying in front quickly wiped his tears and walked towards the source of the sound.
Xuan Qi tried hard to suppress his sobs, turned his back, and half-knelt in front of Xie Jingci: "Come up."
Two words that are concise and to the point.
It’s too simple and doesn’t look like Xuan Qi’s style.
Xie Jingci suddenly returned to the time before he went to the gold mine, feeling heavy-hearted.
He said, "I'm sorry to have worried you. When you return, tell my brothers that I've recovered."
Just these few words broke Xuan Qi's defense again.
He squatted completely to the ground.
His face was buried in his knees, covered with his arms.
But there were still some faint cries coming out.
In the eyes of outsiders, the general is the master of these personal guards.
But in fact.
During his many years at the border, they had seen his determination to disregard life and death and fight bravely against the enemy.
We have also witnessed his clever use of strategy, which allowed him to annihilate the enemy army without leaving a single piece of armor despite having a force ten or a hundred times smaller than that of the enemy.
They also personally witnessed his kindness and righteousness in remaining with them even in times of crisis.
They had long regarded Xie Jingci as an unattainable belief.
That day, he was thrown into the cell like a blood-stained rag doll.
For these personal guards, it was like a huge mountain in their hearts suddenly collapsed.
They were saddened by the death of such a powerful figure, and felt it was unfair for him.
But because I was worried that he would feel uncomfortable, I never dared to reveal a single word.
However, those emotions that cannot be expressed in words are like dark clouds in summer, weighing heavily on their hearts.
It almost took their breath away.
very nice!
General, I'm glad you're alright!
Xie Jingci walked to Xuan Qi, raised his hand and patted Xuan Qi's shoulder.
He wanted to act casual, but when his hand landed on Xuan Qi's shoulder, it sank a little uncontrollably.
Just like his mood at the moment.
Lu Wanyin couldn't bear to see such a sad scene.
She turned her back and casually pulled at the leaves: "Time is limited. If you keep being pretentious, the fight over there will be over."
After all, they were decisive soldiers. Upon hearing this, Xie Jingci and Xuan Qi quickly suppressed their surging emotions.
Xuan Qi carried Xie Jingci on his back and walked back with Lu Wanyin at steady pace.
Flames shot up into the sky at the resting place, and Wu Fan was leading his men to search the surroundings.
When he saw the three of them, he rushed over and angrily asked, "Why are you three acting secretly again? Are you trying to escape, or do you have something to hide?"
"Get out! The old lady is still here, where can we escape?"
Xuan Qi carried his general on his back and pushed Wu Fan away: "Like master, like servant. I have carried my general on my back to go to the toilet many times along the way. You see us like this and still say this nonsense. How stupid!"
Wu Fan's face looked extremely ugly.
He wanted to fight back, but was stopped by other escorts: "Forget it, forget it, you can't beat them."
Wu Fan gritted his teeth, adjusted his breathing, and turned to Lu Wanyin and said, "Lord Hou was stabbed in the heart by the bandits. He is in imminent danger. Please, Madam Xie, please save him."
Lu Wanyin was quite surprised. As she walked back, she asked, "With his unyielding attitude, he actually managed to get the bandits to spare his life?"
These heartfelt words made the escorts look embarrassed.
They also admired Hou Yuanji very much.
Not only was he not afraid at all when he saw the bandit carrying a big knife on his shoulder, he even kicked the bandit's horse and cursed at him.
He is still alive, it is really a relief for his ancestors.
Xie Jingci's brows were furrowed.
He was obviously dissatisfied with the bandits for not killing Hou Yuanji.
Lu Wanyin asked: "From what I've observed, neither Hou Yuanji nor you are strong enough to withstand the attacks of those bandits, right?"
Wu Fan followed behind them, wiped his nose, and said with a wry smile, "Although Lord Hou's martial arts skills are average, he is flexible. After being stabbed in the heart, his neck twisted, his breathing stopped, and he fell to the ground pretending to be dead."
God knows how loud the sound of Hou Yuanji landing was.
With a bang.
It also hit a protruding tree root.
He was hit so hard that he immediately vomited blood, and a lot of blood flowed out from his heart.
But he didn't even frown.
Just lying on the ground like a dead person.
Xie Jingci frowned even more tightly: "He just held his breath and tricked...those bandits."
At this point, Wu Fan became proud. "How could that be! It was only because I ran over first. I put my hand under his nose and found that he was not breathing. I was almost scared to death."
"Then I touched his neck again, and his pulse was beating faster than my heart."
"What a coincidence! Those bandits are really coming to check. I thought, won't this expose our true identity?"
