On the other end.

Lin Yu hung up the phone.

I started to think about it carefully.

The Dragon-Subduing Wood was extremely important for the Japanese in their battle formations!

The Japanese will not give up until they get it.

They'll most likely make a forceful move tonight to snatch it!

Lin Yu thought for a moment, then called Feng Jiu and asked her to come over.

A little while later, my wife came out after taking a shower.

Lin Yu said to his wife, "Honey, General Feng Jiu wants to have a drink with me tonight, so I might have to go out for a bit!"

Lu Xueqing looked nervous. "Could it be that the young marshal has another mission?"

She knew that Lin Yu never told her the truth about any missions he had, and she couldn't help but overthink things at times like that.

Lin Yu quickly explained, "No, it's just that General Feng Jiu recently broke up with his girlfriend, so I had a few drinks with him and tried to cheer him up!"

Lu Xueqing looked surprised: "Huh? General Feng Jiu is so handsome, how could he also be heartbroken?"

Hearing this, Lin Yu felt a pang of jealousy.

Is Feng Jiu handsome?

Is he as handsome as him?

What kind of taste does this wife have?!

Lu Xueqing seemed to realize something and smiled awkwardly. "Lin Yu, don't misunderstand. What I mean is, even someone as good as General Feng Jiu would experience heartbreak. It just goes to show that love has nothing to do with looks! If he were as considerate as my husband, could cook, had a sweet tongue, and treated his wife well, how could he have experienced heartbreak? Don't you agree?"

Hearing this, Lin Yu was overjoyed!

This young lady has been quite savvy lately!

He instinctively walked over, put his arm around his wife's waist, kissed her on the cheek, and said with a look of enjoyment, "Ah, so fragrant, honey, shouldn't we consider removing the 38th parallel?"

Whoosh!

As Lin Yu spoke, he suddenly grabbed Lu Xueqing's bathrobe, instantly pulling it off and exposing her beautiful body to the air.

Lu Xueqing's pretty face flushed red. Although it wasn't the first time her husband had seen her like that, she was still incredibly embarrassed and quickly ran to the bed and covered herself with the blanket.

She immediately lowered her head, her face flushed, and said, "Lin Yu, not today, I... I'm on my period..."

"Um??"

Lin Yu was immediately excited.

What's the meaning?

It means that if relatives hadn't come today, we could have crossed the 38th parallel with great pride and high spirits.

Lin Yu was overjoyed. He immediately pounced on her, pinned her down, kissed her, and said, "It's only a week, right? I can wait!"

Lu Xueqing blushed, turned her face away, and murmured, "I...it will take longer, maybe eight or nine days!"

Lin Yu turned her face back to him. "Irregular periods? I'll give you a couple of acupuncture needles, and it'll all be gone in three or four days!"

Lu Xueqing was both amused and exasperated. "Alright! Get down here now, I need to use a sanitary pad, or it'll start leaking!"

Lin Yu looked helpless and stepped off his wife.

Just then, the phone rang, presumably to let Feng Jiu know she had arrived. Lin Yu kissed his wife again and reluctantly left the room.

When Lin Yu saw Feng Jiu, he was still all smiles.

He was still thinking about crossing the 38th parallel.

Feng Jiu couldn't help but laugh and ask, "Young Marshal, what's wrong with you today? Did you win the lottery? I haven't seen you this happy in a long time!"

Lin Yu glanced at him. "Children don't understand adult matters! Let's get down to business!"

Lin Yu then recounted the story of Fukuda Misa and the Dragon-Subduing Wood. He was unaware of these matters as Feng Jiu had been staying at the military camp recently, helping Wang Zheng train his troops.

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu's face turned extremely ugly. She gritted her teeth and said, "These bastards are simply courting death! They actually dared to try to destroy the feng shui of my Great Xia, their intentions are despicable! Young Marshal, don't be so hasty. I'll have Wang Zheng send men over to capture all the Japanese in the city and cut off Fukuda Misa's head!"

"You brute!" Lin Yu said irritably, "That Fukuda Misa is the Grand Duchess of the Imperial Family. What impact would it have on you if you killed her?"

"Moreover, we can completely change our approach and dig a huge pit for them!"

As Lin Yu finished speaking, a slight smile appeared on his lips: "The Dragon-Subduing Wood, well, if Xiao Ri wants it, we'll just give it to him!"

"Um... Young Marshal, didn't you say that the Dragon Subduing Wood is a treasure for setting up formations? How could it easily fall into enemy hands?" Feng Jiu asked, somewhat puzzled.

Lin Yu said meaningfully, "Have you ever heard of the Thirty-Six Stratagems? There's one called 'Using another'."

Feng Jiu shook her head blankly, "Young Marshal, what exactly do you mean? I don't understand!"

Lin Yu gave him a sharp rap on the head and said irritably, "What's the use of being so good-looking when your brain is as stupid as a pig's!"

After giving him that sharp rap on the head, Lin Yu felt much better, as it was a way of settling a personal score.

Then he explained, "Alright, I'll just be frank with you!"

"Among the various sacred trees in Taoism, there is one that looks extremely similar to the Dragon-Subduing Wood, but its effects are completely different. This wood is called 'Lightning-Struck Wood'!"

Lin Yu paused for a moment, then continued, "The four divine trees are all born from the causes and conditions of heaven and earth. The Dragon-Subduing Wood has a balanced and harmonious power that can integrate all magical artifacts, doubling the power of the formation!"

"And this lightning-struck wood represents the power of primordial yang, possessing unparalleled destructive power!"

"If the Dragon-Subduing Wood is the ultimate treasure for setting up an array, then the Lightning-Struck Wood is the most powerful tool for breaking it!"

Hearing this, Feng Jiu's eyes gradually brightened. "Young Marshal, what you mean is..."

Lin Yu nodded and sneered, "If you want the Dragon-Subduing Wood, we'll play along and use a substitution!"

"The Dragon-Subduing Wood is currently at the Charity Hospital, in Yingxue's office. I just called her, but she's still working. Go to the Charity Hospital first and tell Yingxue about our plan. I'll go up the mountain to find the Lightning-Struck Wood!"

"After finding the lightning-struck wood, I will use a secret method to conceal the lightning's power and disguise it as Dragon-Subduing Wood. With my forgery skills, Xiao Ri will definitely not be able to detect it. When they come to snatch it tonight, we will deliberately lose and let them take the lightning-struck wood. Once they mistake the lightning-struck wood for Dragon-Subduing Wood and use it on the main altar, haha! Then there will be a good show!"

Feng Jiu nodded excitedly, "Young Marshal, you really are full of wicked ideas! How come I couldn't come up with such a scheme! It's true that being good-looking is useless. Although I'm better looking than you, my brain is far inferior to yours!"

Lin Yu nodded. "Good to know. There's a lot you'll need to learn from me in the future!"

etc!

Something about that doesn't sound quite right.

Who's up to no good? Who's better looking?

"You son of a bitch..."

By the time he realized what was happening, Feng Jiu had already vanished in a flash.

"Young Marshal, you can have the jeep. I'm going to find Miss Su now!"

Lin Yu took a deep breath and forced an elegant smile. "I'm not angry!"

"However, I hold grudges!"

After saying this, Lin Yu, with a wronged expression on his face, turned and walked towards the jeep.
