Looking at Zhang Yu, Song Xiang smiled and said, "Then I'll do as you say. I'll cooperate with you."

Zhang Yu raised his head and looked at Song Xiang. Their eyes met, and a strange atmosphere was renewed.

After a while, Zhang Yu shook his head, stood up and said, "It's getting late, go to bed early."

Looking at Zhang Yu's leaving back, a hint of disappointment flashed in Song Xiang's eyes.

After being together for such a long time, it would be a lie to say that she didn't like Zhang Yu. After all, Song Xiang hadn't been in contact with too many men before, and Zhang Yu was such an outstanding man.

Under such circumstances, it would be false to say that there is no affection between the two.

Originally, Song Xiang thought that everything would go smoothly. After all, it was not a big deal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, let alone someone like Zhang Yu?

She had no intention of snatching away the title of Madam Zhang Yu's legal wife, and was willing to be a concubine, turning what was originally a show into reality.

But who could have imagined that Zhang Yu was unwilling? He was actually avoiding her all the time? Especially at a time like this.

Song Xiang couldn't understand.

She had originally wondered if Zhang Yu was afraid of his wife?

After all, Zhang Yu’s wife was none other than the granddaughter of Han Yu, the chief minister of the cabinet.

But after getting to know her for a while, Song Xiang realized that this was impossible. Zhang Yu was not a timid person. He was quite intelligent and had a great way of solving problems. If he really liked her and was willing to accept her, then Zhang Yu would find a way to solve this problem.

Song Xiang turned away from Zhang Yu with a rather disappointed look and walked back.

Hearing that there were no more footsteps behind him, Zhang Yu stopped.

In fact, how could he not see Song Xiang's feelings?

He was a smart man, but he knew very well that sometimes he could see things but couldn't express them.

From a public perspective, His Majesty trusted him to undertake such a major undertaking. Now that his future was uncertain and the undertaking hadn't been completed, how could he live up to His Majesty's trust by engaging in personal affairs? If he allowed his personal affairs to delay his work, wouldn't he be a sinner for the Ming Dynasty?

At that time, even death cannot atone for the sin.

On a personal level, he came to Korea, abandoning his family and career, leaving his wife behind. His wife was supposed to manage the household and support his parents. Under such circumstances, how could he be worthy of his wife, who was so far away in his hometown, by looking for another woman?

Others might not care, after all, it was normal to bring someone with you when you went out. Not to mention concubines, even some wives would send their closest maids over, partly to serve them, and partly to keep an eye on them.

But Zhang Yu still couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart and could only ignore Song Xiang.

Walking back to the room and lying on the bed, Zhang Yu tried hard not to think about this kind of love affair, but began to think seriously about the next plan.

Getting things done is more important than anything else.

The next morning, when it was bright, Zhang Yu got up from the bed in a daze.

He didn't remember when he fell asleep last night. It seemed that he was really tired from thinking too much.

When I walked out of the house, Song Xiang was already waiting outside, and the water for washing my face was ready.

Zhang Yu began to wash his face as usual, and said to Song Xiang, "Am I getting up a little late?"

"There's nothing to do today anyway. You've been too busy lately, so it wouldn't hurt to get some more sleep." Song Xiang said casually, taking a towel from the side and handing it to Zhang Yu, and continued, "If anything happens, I'll call you."

Zhang Yu nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you."

"Don't talk about this as an old married couple. Come and have dinner after you finish washing. I asked someone to prepare your favorite porridge. I also asked them to make fried dough sticks with the flour that was delivered yesterday." Song Xiang said casually.

After saying that, she turned and walked to the back.

Listening to Song Xiang's words and looking at her back, Zhang Yu was a little dazed, but he still took a step and followed her.

After eating a simple meal, someone came running in to deliver a message.

After sending the messenger away, Song Xiang came to Zhang Yu and said, "The person has arrived."

"Are they coming directly here, or are they going to North Korea to report first?"

"Come here first." Song Xiang nodded and said, "They also brought the decree of His Majesty."

After hearing this, Zhang Yu suddenly became excited and couldn't control the expression on his face.

You know, for such a long time, he has been waiting for this imperial edict, waiting for His Majesty to give him a positive answer.

"Where are the people? Where are they?" Zhang Yu stood up excitedly and looked at Song Xiang and said.

"They're just outside." Song Xiang said quickly, "I've asked someone to invite them in."

"Okay, okay!" Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Then let's wait a while."

It wasn't long before footsteps were heard outside.

Several figures walked in from outside.

Zhang Yu was stunned when he saw the newcomers. His eyes widened and he asked in disbelief, "Why are you here?"

The leader was none other than Sun Chuanting.

Standing next to Sun Chuanting were Cao Wenzhao and Wu Xiang.

After hearing Zhang Yu's words, Sun Chuanting immediately smiled and said, "I knew he would be frightened when he saw us."

"The commander-in-chief is wise." Cao Wenzhao said on the side.

Seeing Zhang Yu still looking confused, Wu Xiang beside him said, "This matter is of great importance. His Majesty asked us to come here, partly to lead the war against Japan, and partly to help you. After all, we still don't trust Korea enough to attack Japan this time, so we need our own people to take charge."
