Chapter 430 After the triumphant return, the wedding will take place.

Ji Qingwu summoned the system again.

"peanut."

A system notification chimed in: "Host, yes, what can I do for you?"

Ji Qingwu said bluntly, "I also want to exchange for national fortune."

She could not, and would not allow, Emperor Wusu to get involved in such a dangerous situation again.

[Host, you have already pre-borrowed the next national fortune release; you need to repay the previous one.]

Ji Qingwu said, "Can't I pay twice? Why are you so stingy?"

There's a saying: "A loan repaid kindly is easy to borrow again."

Ji Qingwu faced a choice between the front lines and the rear camp.

She chose both.

We cannot give up on either side.

Ji Qingwu pre-emptively used the next national fortune release, but could only choose the highest level of the intimacy mission he had already achieved, which was level D.

Level D represents a mutually pleasurable experience, but the national fortune at this level is insufficient to guarantee that Emperor Wusu will remain completely unharmed.

Ji Qingwu asked, "What are the rules for your ranking system?"

[Host, the latest version of the agreement we signed previously contains detailed instructions.]

Ji Qingwu said, "Pull it out, let me take another look."

She squinted, looking at the tiny, ant-like characters that appeared in the AI's brain.

"Developing new sensitive points?"

"Unlocking new poses?"

Let's skip the earlier rules and move on to the later ones.

"One night...cough cough..."

Ji Qingwu almost choked on his saliva: "Peanut, this setup is unreasonable! Who could do that?!"

Based on the system's latest algorithm and the physical attributes of the target, this level of skill is easily achieved.

Ji Qingwu said, "...Have you ever considered that it might be something I can't do?"

The system was silent for a moment.

Thank you for discovering the algorithm vulnerability. We will now regenerate new rules for you.

Ji Qingwu poked at the water in the wooden bucket with her hand, and while waiting, she also removed the disguise from her face.

[Host, please check the new rules]

Ji Qingwu looked at it and said with great approval, "Three times is indeed my limit."

"only......"

She asked in confusion, "Why didn't it meet the A-level rule requirements?"

[You need to reach Level B to view this]

Ji Qingwu had a gut feeling that there was a big problem behind this A-level rating.

But right now, the most important thing is to quickly try out the C-level national fortune and see just how lucky we can be.

Ji Qingwu got out of the bathtub and dried her body with a long towel.

But she encountered a rather embarrassing situation: she had no clean clothes to change into.

Her gaze swept around the washroom, and she had no intention of wearing that wet and muddy coarse cloth dress again.

Ji Qingwu frowned; she didn't believe that Eunuch Li hadn't thought of changing clothes before bathing.

But could we use this opportunity to complete some system tasks? Let's settle the outstanding D-level tasks first.

The sounds of discussion inside the tent gradually faded away.

Ji Qingwu quietly lifted a corner of the curtain and immediately saw Emperor Wusu sitting in the main seat.

But sitting opposite him was a familiar figure from behind.

All the other generals had already left, but Wei Ting had matters to discuss with Emperor Wusu, so he stayed behind.

Zhao Mingyan asked, "Is there anything else?"

After thinking for a moment, Wei Ting said, "Your Majesty, so many unbelievable things have happened today. Should we invite Master Liaoran to the Northern Border?"

Master Liaoran is unparalleled in divination and interpreting the ways of heaven; perhaps he can provide them with the answers.

Zhao Mingyan said, "There's no need for that for now. Master Liaoran will appear when the time is right."

That's just how this master is. No matter how hard you try to find him, you won't be able to, but when the time is right, he will come to you on his own.

Wei Ting said, "This humble general has nothing else to attend to, this humble general shall take his leave."

The emperor said in a deep voice, "Wei Ting, listen to my decree."

Wei Ting was startled.

What kind of decree would be given to him at this time?

Wei Ting knelt down and said, "This subordinate obeys your command."

Zhao Mingyan said, "Wei Ting upheld his integrity and righteousness, and made meritorious contributions in rescuing and protecting others. I greatly appreciate this and hereby bestow upon him the title of Grand Marshal."

Wei Ting looked up in shock and said, "This humble general is unworthy of such a title, I did not..."

He never saved Emperor Wusu's life.

But the words were on the tip of his tongue... Today, he saved someone else entirely.

Wei Ting immediately realized that Emperor Wu Su wanted to repay Ji Qingwu for saving him.

Even if he saved her, firstly, he had done nothing to serve the country and felt unworthy of the military post; secondly, he acted out of genuine concern and did not seek this reward.

He did not want to exchange this for the position of Grand Marshal.

Wei Ting clasped his hands in a fist and said sincerely, "What I have done is not enough to warrant the title of Grand Marshal. I beg Your Majesty to rescind your decree."

Zhao Mingyan stood up and helped him up; no general had ever received such treatment from Emperor Wusu.

Wei Ting looked at Emperor Wu Su in shock.

Zhao Mingyan smiled faintly and said, "The Empress and I are one, so General, there's no need for you to refuse."

Upon hearing this, Wei Ting's right hand trembled violently.

Empress...

Ji Qingwu is about to become the Empress of Beili.

No wonder Emperor Wusu bestowed upon him an important position; he didn't want Ji Qingwu to have any further involvement with him, and the emperor wanted to repay the debt of saving her.

Did she know about this news? Did she agree? Would she reject the emperor, who was high and mighty before her, just as she had rejected him?

Wei Ting narrowed his long eyes. He knew it wouldn't happen. The light in Ji Qingwu's eyes when he looked at Emperor Wusu was a light that he had never received before, or even now.

His eyes were filled with bitterness as he knelt and said, "This humble general kowtows to thank Your Majesty for your grace."

Zhao Mingyan seemed oblivious to his odd behavior, and a slight smile played on her lips.

"When the army returns in triumph, I will hold a banquet at the Phoenix Palace, and the general must come to congratulate us."

Wei Ting's unsteady and weak steps as he walked out of the main tent were a sign that his mind had been severely damaged.

Li Yuzong listened outside the tent, and something just didn't seem right.

The person General Wei saved wasn't that vixen? How did she become the Empress?

Suddenly, Li Yuzong clapped his hands, startling the birds on the tent roof into flight.

He smiled like a cosmos flower at the door, and all the passing soldiers received his friendly greeting.

Ji Qingwu overheard their conversation from behind the curtain.

Hearing the words "We are one" made her blush even more than hearing the word "Empress" from him.

After reading the rules given by the system, Ji Qingwu's mind was filled with thoughts of how to become "one".

"You heard everything?"

The heavy yellow curtains trembled slightly, and a deep voice came through.

The curtain was not lifted, and Ji Qingwu was separated from him by such a thin layer.

She nodded at first, then realized he couldn't see.

"Yes, I heard you."

Zhao Mingyan asked, "Do you have anything to say?"

Perhaps because of the obstruction, Ji Qingwu felt that Emperor Wusu's voice was deep and muffled.

This was different from the carefree and pleased attitude he had shown towards Wei Ting earlier.

Even if you can't see his face, you can feel that he is suppressing some kind of emotion.

Why aren't you saying anything?

Zhao Mingyan's tone was tinged with anxiety, lacking any of his usual composure.

Ji Qingwu chuckled softly.

"Will you get married after your triumphant return?"
