Chapter 56 Chapter 56...

After a moment, Liu Tong'an said with a hint of mockery, "It seems General Ji is quite satisfied with this marriage alliance?"

Ji Yujing: "I'm not satisfied with the marriage, I'm satisfied with my wife."

If it weren't for Lin Qingdai, he would never have been satisfied with an arranged marriage.

After he finished speaking, the boss brought over a pot of tea.

"The teacups are on the table. Please have some tea, gentlemen. I'll go to the kitchen to cook some dishes."

Ji Yujing smiled at him and said, "Go ahead. Take your time, there's no rush."

The boss chuckled in agreement and then left.

Now only Liu Tongan and Ji Yujing remained.

Ji Yujing poured Liu Tongan a cup of tea, and as he pushed it over, the aroma of the tea filled the air.

Liu Tong'an: "Thank you, General."

After a brief pause, he spoke again, "General Ji, what brings you to see me?"

Ji Yujing fell silent, and after a long while, she answered:

"The royal family wants to kill Wu Tingshan."

The eldest prince's arrival in Lingdong is likely aimed at gathering power to eliminate Wu Tingshan. A direct confrontation is difficult, but how many assassination attempts can Wu Tingshan defend against?

Wu Ying's marriage into the royal family not only failed to protect her clan, but instead brought them the risk of extinction.

"They want to use you to get rid of Wu Tingshan?"

The tone was inquiring, but Liu Tongan had already determined the truth.

Ji Yujing responded in a low, muffled voice.

Liu Tongan then asked him, "Why are you telling me this?"

To be honest, this was their first meeting; they were complete strangers in every sense of the word. They didn't have any real connection whatsoever.

Ji Yujing: "Liu Tong'an, do you think you and the Northwest can stay out of trouble if the world falls into chaos?"

"Today it's Wu Tingshan, next it could be you or me. None of us can guarantee that we can always please the royal family."

Ji Yujing's expression was indifferent, as was his tone.

But Liu Tongan knew that his heart was far from as calm as it appeared.

What are your plans?

Ji Yujing paused for a moment before saying, "If things really get chaotic one day, you lock down the Northwest, preventing anyone from entering or leaving."

"If Dongshao and Canglan invade together, you will lead your army into Qingshi Pass."

Qingshi Pass is the second line of defense in the west. If it is breached, the enemy can reach directly to Fanmao City.

That place must not be broken.

Liu Tong'an: "..."

"Ji Yujing, do you treat me like a general to be bossed around?"

And this burden is so heavy.

Liu Tongan was truly impressed; he regretted not joining the martial arts tournament.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yujing chuckled softly.

"The head of the Liu family is capable and therefore does a lot of work."

"If the royal army succeeds, Wu Tingshan will be gone, and the morale of the border troops will be unstable. Who in the vast west can withstand an attack from the combined forces of the two countries?"

Zhang Qiyuan is eccentric and uncontrollable; no one can rest easy knowing he's the one to protect them.

Liu Tongan was undoubtedly aware of these things.

Ji Yujing was right; with the capital in ruins, it would be difficult for him and the Northwest to remain unscathed.

"Can."

"Will Wu Tingshan just sit and wait to die?"

Ji Yujing: "I can't figure out what he's thinking, but this time both Prince Jingxian and the First Prince have shown up, and the spearhead is pointing at him."

Liu Tong'an understood why the eldest prince would act this way.

After all, it involves the hatred of killing one's mother.

No one can blame him for how he retaliates.

But this Prince Jingxian has always been an upright and unrestrained person, so how did he get involved?

"Does Prince Jingxian want to vie for the throne?"

Ji Yujing shook his head: "He wants to help the fourth prince ascend the throne."

After hearing this, Liu Tong'an felt that the royal family was in complete chaos.

Those in high positions have all their minds on internal strife, even worrying about the border.

What's even more frustrating is that they can't let go, because this land is their home.

"Why have you arranged everything so clearly for me?"

Ji Yujing paused for a moment, then used his finger to draw in all directions on the water.

Finally, it landed on a single point.

That was the imperial capital, the Golden Palace City.

Liu Tongan, however, showed no surprise.

He even laughed and said, "I thought you would wait a little longer."

Ji Yujing: "I originally intended to wait, but now it seems there may be no chance."

After that, neither of them spoke again.

It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't know what to say.

They've gotten to where they are now because they know that those in power can't protect the people and things they cherish. But rising too high invites resentment. Those in power won't pursue their original aspirations; what they've fought so hard for will be ruthlessly erased.

Who would be willing to accept that?

If he were under as much pressure as Ji Yujing, he would most likely make the same decision as Ji Yujing.

After a long silence, Liu Tongan raised his hand and said, "If things succeed one day, don't forget all the work you've assigned me."

Ji Yujing chuckled, raised her hand, and gave him a high five.

"You deserve to be a king."

Now, he is.

Heroes cherish each other.

This meal was extremely meager for their status.

But they didn't care; they had food, wine, and close friends.

This meal is the ideal meal in the world.

That night, Ji Yujing and Mu Qinghuai went out for drinks at the invitation of the martial arts alliance leader.

Ye Xiao insisted on going along to see what it was like, but was taken away. Only Lin Qingdai and Leng Jialan remained in the inn.

The two had a simple meal on the first floor of the inn, and then went to the tea room.

Drinking flower tea and chatting is relaxing and enjoyable.

"I thought you would go with Mu Qinghuai."

Lin Qingdai said with a smile that she had slept enough in the afternoon and was very energetic now.

Her face was rosy, and her almond-shaped eyes were bright.

Leng Jialan: "If it's a martial arts competition, I'll definitely go. But I really have no interest in a bunch of men drinking and talking at the top of their lungs."

Upon hearing this, not only Lin Qingdai, but also Mingyue and Mingqian couldn't help but laugh.

Leng Jialan didn't mind.

"Is that how you see it?"

Lin Qingdai: "Yes. To be honest, that's what I thought too, which is why I'm not going."

Leng Jialan chuckled: "I always thought that Miss Lin was the kind of aloof and noble person."

"Am I not?"

Leng Jialan laughed even louder, and it lasted for quite a while before she stopped.

"On the surface, yes, but on the inside, no."

"You're really funny, I like you a lot."

Leng Jialan is used to expressing her likes directly.

She disliked him, just like she did with Mu Qinghuai.

"I also find you very interesting."

After finishing her sentence, Lin Qingdai shifted the topic to what she was curious about, "When will you and Patriarch Mu get married?"

"I'll have someone deliver the gift at the exact time."

Leng Jialan: "Let's meet next spring. I love spring."

"Will you be able to come then, Dai Dai?"

For some reason, Lin Qingdai suddenly fell silent.

Leng Jialan looked serious and asked with concern, "Is there something troublesome?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingdai's lips twitched slightly. "Does Galan have any knowledge of the current situation?"

Lin Qingdai liked Leng Jialan very much, feeling that she had a chivalrous spirit, so she was willing to have in-depth conversations with her.

Leng Jialan paused, then pondered for a moment, "Harmony may shatter in the next instant."

That's a very accurate summary.

Lin Qingdai couldn't help but chuckle, "Yes, the so-called stability and harmony are nothing but a thin layer of paper."

With just a slight movement of a finger, it was punctured.

"But General Ji is so powerful, he can't possibly affect you."

Not to mention, the Lin family is a powerful and established family.

Lin Qingdai: "Really?"

"Can Garan confirm this?"

Leng Jialan: ...

She can't.

Not only could they not, but they also recalled that many prominent families perished at their peak during the past, sometimes in the blink of an eye.

Even a powerful and ruthless leader can fall from grace.

"Dai Dai, what's the use of you worrying about the current situation?"

"Women have never had the right to decide things in this world."

Leng Jialan was aware of the political situation, but that was for business purposes and out of curiosity. She never intended to change anything. But she discovered that Lin Qingdai harbored a desire to change things.

"To be honest, we are lucky to have married men like General Ji and Mu Qinghuai. If we had married other men, not to mention anything else, we would never have been able to come to the martial arts tournament in our lifetime."

Lin Qingdai gave a soft "hmm".

That's true.

But reality doesn't equate to absolute truth.

"Galan, but you met Mu Qinghuai, didn't you? Don't you want to do more of what you want to do?"

"To put it more deeply, family and country have never belonged to men alone."

"Is it right?"

Absolutely right, so absolutely right.

Leng Jialan couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

After a long silence, she finally peeled away the layers of fog in her heart and touched her true feelings.

"Dai Dai, what can I do?"

Leng Jialan had a gut feeling that Lin Qingdai had foreseen the future situation, otherwise she wouldn't have said those words earlier.

Lin Qingdai smiled, a genuine and radiant smile.

She knew that the fourth daughter of the Leng family was no ordinary person.

Lin Qingdai asked Mingyue to fetch a map from the room. The map was small and rough, drawn by Lin Qingdai herself.

When she has free time, she looks at this map and simulates the future situation, but she has only just begun and doesn't think about it in great depth or detail.

Just now, Leng Jialan asked, "What can she do?" and the situation suddenly became clear.

As the map was fully unfolded, Lin Qingdai's slender white fingertips landed on it.

She circled the entire far north, asking, "Galan, if things go wrong, can you and Mu Qinghuai lock down the far north?"

"No one is allowed to enter or leave until the situation becomes clear."

"Locking down all possible locations can minimize the damage caused by war."

Otherwise, even if a new ruler is welcomed, the country will be devastated.

Lin Qingdai's words shocked Leng Jialan to the extreme, her starry eyes widening.

"How is that possible?"

The second daughter of the Lin family is really too daring; she wouldn't even dare to dream of such a thing.

Lin Qingdai: "How is that impossible?"

"You are the future matriarch of the Mu family, and your mother comes from the royal family of Beili."

Most importantly, they both love Leng Jialan; otherwise, how could they have developed such bright and unrestrained personalities? Their eyes always hold a warm light, unbelievably bright.

"Galan, as long as you do it, you will definitely succeed."

Leng Jialan is backed by three major forces in the North. If they join forces, they could lock down the far north.

No one had ever said these things to Leng Jialan before, and no one had ever placed such high hopes on her.

Leng Jialan felt uncertain; it was the first time she had encountered emotions related to panic, but she inexplicably wanted to give it a try.

She wanted to protect Mu Qinghuai, just as he protected her.

She longed for the far north where she grew up to be free from the ravages of war.

It doesn't matter if it's cold, as long as we're safe and sound.

"Dai Dai, I promise you."

"If the situation changes drastically, Mu Qinghuai and I will do our best to lock down the far north."

Lin Qingdai smiled at her, her face bright and her eyes shining, "Galan, I look forward to the day we meet again."

"Yes, I'll definitely see you again, Dai Dai."

After enduring the sweltering heat, autumn will arrive.

By the end of August, the weather in Lingdong had already turned cool. Wherever Lin Qingdai went, Mingyue and Mingqian would bring her a cloak, afraid that the delicate girl would catch a cold.

Lin Qingdai has been extremely busy for the past two months.

He was either out negotiating business deals, reviewing ledgers and goods at the trading company, or discussing the progress of the drugs with Dr. Lu and the others...

Actually, there were dedicated people managing everything, but she wanted to be cautious in the beginning, so she put in a lot of effort.

That day, after leaving the trading company, just past Shenshi (3-5 PM), she originally planned to go straight home. Unexpectedly, just before getting into the carriage, Lin Qingdai suddenly said to the driver, "To the military camp."

"Stop at that bakery called Qianchuan."

"promise."

The driver immediately agreed.

Lin Qingdai and Mingqian Mingyue boarded the carriage one after the other.

Once seated, the carriage began to move.

Unable to contain her curiosity, Mingqian blurted out, "Miss, why did you suddenly decide to go to the military camp?"

"Let's fetch some cakes and pastries today and send some to the general."

He doesn't lack these things, but he would be happy if she sent them to him.

Even before seeing him, Lin Qingdai could already picture his radiant eyes.

Mingqian understood: "A relationship needs to go on and on for it to last."

These words made Lin Qingdai and Mingyue laugh.

Mingyue: "If you learned it there, you'll sound so old-fashioned."

Lin Qingdai suddenly remembered what she and Ji Yujing had discussed at the martial arts tournament two months ago, and her eyes lit up slightly.

"Ming Qian."

"Um?"

What do you think of Ye Xiao?

Mingqian didn't react immediately, focusing on the question itself, "I think his legwork and agility are quite good."

"As for swordsmanship, it's definitely not as good as mine."

Lin Qingdai: ...

Look at this martial arts fanaticism; he's clearly not quite there yet.

But she still asked one more question, "Is there anything else?"

Mingqian: "emmm."

She was thinking about it carefully.

The answer came a moment later:

"She's quite good-looking, but..."

"But what?"

"But he's not quite as good as me."

Lin Qingdai laughed out loud.

Mingyue couldn't help but poke her younger sister with her finger, "What were you thinking, comparing your looks with a man?"

Mingqian retorted, "We're all human, so why can't we compare?"

Lin Qingdai was truly convinced, and she decided to temporarily give up her idea of ​​bringing the two together.

For now, let's all do our own thing.

There's plenty of time, no need to rush.

The carriage arrived at Qianchuan Bakery amidst laughter and cheerful conversation.

Lin Qingdai got out of the car.

As soon as she entered the store, the owner spotted her and hurriedly came to greet her: "Mrs. Ji, you've arrived."

"The pancakes are all ready. I'll go to the kitchen to get them."

Lin Qingdai smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wu."

"If I buy all the pastries in the shop, will it affect the surrounding villagers?"

The shopkeeper was startled upon hearing this and instinctively asked, "Madam, why are you buying so many cakes?"

Lin Qingdai smiled and said, "I want to visit the general; I haven't seen him for quite some time."

I'll also take some with me to the soldiers in the barracks.

After hearing this, the boss said, "It won't affect anything. It's still early. We can do some more in time."

"Most of the villagers come to buy it before or after dinner."

"That's good."

"I'll arrange for people to load it onto the carriage right now."

"Thank you, boss."

After a flurry of activity, the entire empty space of the large carriage was filled.

The carriage gradually approached the outermost patrol post of the military camp.

A soldier spotted it and immediately said to his comrade beside him, "A carriage is coming. Who is it?"

"So luxurious, it must be someone special."

Despite the discussions, the Ningdong Army was known for its strict military discipline, and the soldiers were well aware of what to do. They waited for the carriage to stop at the patrol post before going over to check it.

Then I saw a young woman get off the carriage, her movements swift and graceful.

"Could you please inform them?"

"What is it?"

"Miss Lin has come to visit General Ji. May I enter?"

Mingqian got off the carriage first, and for reasons unknown, she referred to Lin Qingdai as Second Miss Lin.

As soon as she finished speaking, the soldiers were all stunned.

Miss Lin the Second?

Isn't that the general's wife?

"Are you gentlemen having some kind of trouble?"

This sound brought the soldiers back to their senses.

The leader replied, "No problem, no problem, I'll go in and report right away."

"Please wait here for me, Madam. I will be back soon."

Without waiting for Mingqian's response, he rushed into the military camp.

He ran quickly and soon entered the camp. He intended to go and report to the deputy general, but he bumped into Ye Xiao, who was wandering around, on the way.

"I'm sorry, Young Master Xiao."

"It's nothing, what's the rush?"

"Madam has arrived and says she wants to see General Ji. I was just about to go and talk to the deputy general about this."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao's dark eyes lit up: "No need to find the deputy general, I'll go and talk to my brother."

"Then we need to hurry, the lady is waiting outside."

Nowadays, Lin Qingdai is extremely loved and respected in Jingning City.

She was incredibly beautiful, and a young lady from the capital, yet she was very kind and always treated the villagers with great courtesy. If she encountered children, she would give them some of the sweets she had made herself.

She went to great lengths to help the villagers make money.

The villagers gradually became convinced that as long as they worked hard, they could certainly save some money and live a good life, if not get rich.

"The one inside is more anxious than you, don't worry."

After saying that, Ye Xiao headed straight for the council hall.

The council chamber doors are closed right now; they must be discussing something.

Ye Xiao would usually avoid it, after all, no one likes to get beaten up.

Today, however, they skipped the announcement and went straight in.

As expected, all the important figures in the military were there, and upon hearing the commotion, they all looked over.

Upon seeing that it was Ye Xiao, some smiled and others shook their heads.

Ji Yujing looked at him with a cold gaze.

"You'd better have a good reason, or you're in for a beating today."

Ye Xiao: "This time I really have something urgent to attend to."

"I can't wait, I can't wait even a moment longer."

Xu Xian: "What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Ye Xiao: "My sister-in-law's carriage is parked outside the military camp. She said she's coming to visit you, brother."

Ji Yujing: "What did you say?"

Ye Xiao: "Your sister-in-law is outside the military camp; she's come to visit you."

"They'll definitely bring us something delicious."

Only then did Ji Yujing dare to confirm what she had heard.

"You guys continue, I'll go pick up Dai Dai."

As they were speaking, the person had already stood up.

It's such a short distance, and you're in such a hurry to pick me up in person.

The moon in my heart is indeed different.

Everyone thought to themselves, but on the surface they all wore smiles.

Yu Yong, an elderly woman, said: "If Dai Dai brings any delicious food, please save some for me."

"I want one too."

"I want one too."

Ji Yujing smiled, "I'll never forget you all."

Having said that, he quickly left the council chamber.

Ye Xiao followed him out.

Xu Xian: "Is this love? Turning our boss, a tough and aloof war god, into a greenhorn?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Yu Yong, an elderly man, said with a smile, "When Ji Ci went to Zhangxi Town to look for me, he treated Dai Dai differently the first time he saw her. I suspect that he fell in love with Dai Dai at first sight."

"The girl he fell in love with at first sight is his fiancée. Boss is so lucky."

"I almost became your brother-in-law, haha."

"So this is a destiny ordained by God."

...

The distance from the council hall to the First Patrol Station wasn't exactly short, but for the impatient Ji Yujing, it was only a moment's journey.

He approached the carriage, and Mingyue Mingqian curtsied in greeting.

"General."

"No need for such formalities."

After saying that, he walked straight to the carriage, lifted the curtain, and carried Lin Qingdai down.

Lin Qingdai landed safely on her feet, his hands still holding her waist, showing no sign of wanting to let go.

What brings you here?

Lin Qingdai: "Take your hands away first, there are so many people watching."

"Have you lost your dignity?"

Ji and Jing laughed, truly letting go of each other's hands.

Of course, it wasn't that I was afraid of damaging her dignity, but I knew that the young lady was easily embarrassed and had many rules. It was best not to bother her when there were many people around.

"I ordered some pastries and was thinking of sending some over to go with your tea."

"They're all in the carriage. Tell someone to get them."

"Ye Xiao and I can't get it?"

Lin Qingdai: "Well, unless each of you has eight hands."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao ran closer to the carriage to take a look.

Well, it really can't be taken.

He called out to the guard post at the patrol station, "Brothers, come help me!! There's too much delicious food, I can't carry it all."

"Haha, what a great thing!"

"They're here, they're here."

After a flurry of activity, all the cakes and pastries were delivered to the military camp.

Ji Yujing led Lin Qingdai into the council hall, greeted everyone, and then went to his residence.

Before leaving, they even took a box of cakes with them.

This was Lin Qingdai's first time visiting Ji Yujing's residence in the military camp. Although everything in sight was simple, it was bright and clean.

They entered the inner room one after the other, and Ji and Jing locked the door behind them.

Hearing the noise, Lin Qingdai turned around to look at him.

"What are you doing?"

Ji Yujing walked slowly and steadily toward her, then lifted her up by the buttocks.

By now, Lin Qingdai had long been accustomed to their intimacy and trusted Ji Yujing completely. Her feet suddenly dangled in the air, but her small face showed no fear; her fair hands lazily rested on his shoulders.

"Stop fooling around."

"No more fuss."

"General Ji, do you think I would believe you?"

He might say "I won't make trouble" ten times, but he'll only actually do it once or twice.

Ji Yujing smiled happily, without a trace of guilt.

His wife is his, and he likes her so much, so it's perfectly normal for him to want to make a fuss.

"This is a military camp, I'm really not making trouble."

"I'm just so happy, I want to hug you and kiss you."

These words softened Lin Qingdai's heart, and she took the initiative to kiss Ji Yujing.

Sucking, licking...

She knew what he liked.

Until something unusually hot pressed against her.

She instinctively stopped kissing him, but the man said, "Don't stop, Dai Dai."

His voice sounded like it had been rubbed by sand, terribly hoarse, yet incredibly sexy.

This made Lin Qingdai's heart race and her body temperature rise.

"Ji Ci, not here."

Then she bit his ear, and the fragrance spread, invading Ji Yujing's nostrils.

How's evening?

Ji Yujing forcibly calmed his agitation and kissed Lin Qingdai for a while before finally agreeing to her request.

"Um."

As the thin layer of ink gradually spread across Jingning City, Ji Yujing returned home.

At that time, Lin Qingdai was the only one in the bedroom, lying on a recliner, humming a tune.

Perhaps knowing that he disliked being disturbed when they were alone, she would let Mingqian and Mingyue rest whenever he came back.

"The general is back? Shall I have Dai Dai help you change your clothes?"

They were all so respectful and polite, calling him "General" and "Your Majesty," but no one stood up.

He understood that the young lady had no intention of serving him.

A smile spread across Ji Yujing's eyes: "No need for you to trouble yourself, Madam. I can do it myself."

Ji Yujing was as fast as ever, returning to Lin Qingdai's side refreshed in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

He carried the beautiful woman to the bed and lay down on his side next to her.

"What have you been busy with lately, Madam?"

Lin Qingdai turned to face him, "I operate within General Ji's sphere of influence every day, how could you not know what I'm doing?"

One sentence left Ji Yujing speechless.

Seeing his expression, Lin Qingdai's mischievous thoughts surfaced. "General Ji, why aren't you saying anything? How many people are secretly following me? How many reports about me are submitted every day?"

Ji Yujing was amused. "That's for protection."

"Everything is done without compromising your comfort."

Lin Qingdai was aware of this, so she pretended not to see it even though she had noticed.

"You already know, why are you still asking?"

Ji Yujing: "Can what others say be the same as what you say to me in person?"

Lin Qingdai was persuaded.

She began to talk to Ji and Jing about recent events, and her almond-shaped eyes lit up when she mentioned that she was planning to open two more shops in Huiming City next door.

Ji Yujing saw this and her heart overflowed with love.

"Is Miss Lin aiming for the richest man in Xun Kingdom?"

"Now that you've become the richest man, will you still love your wife who's been through thick and thin with you?"

Lin Qingdai was amused by someone's nonsense. Her slender white fingers landed on his face, stroking and grinding every inch.

Intimate, yet alluring.

"I like General Ji's face very much."

"As long as you take good care of this face, your position as the main wife is very secure."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yujing's gaze turned dangerous.

"According to Madam's wishes, she also wants to keep a few male concubines?"

Lin Qingdai was startled. "Don't talk nonsense! I didn't mean that."

"So what do you mean?"

Unable to explain further, Lin Qingdai could only cup his face and kiss him haphazardly.

"I like you just the way you are."

I like it everywhere.

Ji Yujing couldn't resist such enthusiasm, so she leaned in and took the initiative.

Perhaps provoked by Lin Qingdai's earlier words, his kisses today were both urgent and fierce. In a short while, Lin Qingdai felt her tongue being twisted until it went numb.

Her hand touched the skin on his neck and gently caressed it.

Even though he was in pain, she still tried to soothe his emotions.

Ji Yujing felt the gentle touch on her neck and her comforting words, and her heart softened completely.

His kisses became gentle and tender, and when they ended, his thin lips rested on her ear, his voice deep and slow: "Dai Dai."

"Um?"

"Are you doing well up up there today?"

Lin Qingdai didn't immediately understand after hearing this, "What do you mean, 'above'?"

Ji Yujing lay flat and easily lifted Lin Qingdai to sit on his waist.

"..."

Lin Qingdai's face flushed red instantly.

"Ji Yujing, don't go too far."

...

On the second day of the ninth lunar month, many areas in eastern Shandong experienced rain.

Ningzhou is among them.

As usual, Wu Wengan left the government office at the beginning of the Xu hour.

"The rain is really heavy today."

Wu Wengan stood under the eaves of the government office and spoke to his attendant who was holding an umbrella.

The attendant chuckled, “Yes. After this rain, Ningzhou will probably get even colder.”

Wu Wen chuckled dryly and replied, "It's good to be cooler."

The attendant opened an umbrella, and the two walked out hand in hand. They walked carefully up the steps.

"Your Majesty, please slow down."

"Yeah, it's nothing."

Although Wu Wengan came from a military family, he never liked fighting or martial arts.

He enjoys reading, especially history and geomancy.

Therefore, setting aside the emperor's ill will towards the Wu family, Wu Wengan was very happy to come to Lingdong to become the governor. In the few months since he arrived, he has gradually adapted to and come to love everything here.

"Tomorrow is Father's birthday, our gift should have arrived by now."

Attendant: "That's for sure. It only takes six or seven days to get from Ningzhou to Tianyun City at the fastest speed. At the latest, your gift will definitely be in Tianyun City by tomorrow morning."

Wu Wengan was relieved after hearing this, and a smile appeared on his face.

Just then, a man in black appeared and forcefully shoved the attendant aside with his strong body. The man fell, the umbrella fell, and rain soaked Wu Wengan to the bone.

"you……"

Wu Wengan wanted to say something, but the sharp, cold light pierced his heart.

One fatal blow.
