Seeing that Ruobao had almost finished eating, He Yunxiao stood up and said, "General Zhang, let's stop lunch here. Mr. Fan and we have been traveling all night and haven't slept yet."

Zhang Hu, his face flushed from drinking, said, "Sun Qiang, take them to the guest rooms to sleep. Any brothers who still have energy can stay and continue eating and drinking! Black Tiger Stronghold will provide plenty of good wine and meat!"

Most martial arts practitioners are not afraid of staying up all night, but the girls can't handle it.

He Yunxiao got up and left the table with the three female leads. This attitude made the leaders of Black Tiger Stronghold complain.

...

Sun Qiang led He Yunxiao and his group through Black Tiger Stronghold. Black Tiger Stronghold was built against the mountain, with mostly wooden houses and gravel paths, which was incomparable to the bustling capital city of Yin.

During the banquet earlier, He Yunxiao noticed that not all the people in Black Tiger Stronghold were dressed as bandits; a small portion of them were still wearing the uniforms of government soldiers.

He couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Sun, what exactly happened to the Chu family army?"

As Sun Qiang walked along the path, he sighed, "After General Chu's incident, the entire Chu family army fell apart. Most of the brothers were scattered and sent to other armies, while a small number remained under the command of Generals Fan and Du. Later, General Fan left the army, and General Du also had an incident, so the Chu family army was completely finished. Some brothers left the army to start their own businesses, and some wandered the world, but most of them were like Wu Jian and me, making a living in other armies."

"Back then, Commander Chu led us to drive the Yan army out of Hexi Commandery. Now that Commander Chu is gone, the Yan army has returned. We wanted to take this opportunity to rally the other brothers to rebuild the Chu family army, but unexpectedly, General Fan..."

“My father may have his reasons,” Fan Ziruo said.

Sun Qiang sighed and said to Fan Ziruo, "Miss Fan, you are a girl with ideas. If you were a man, you could shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Chu family army, and then our Chu family army would still have a chance. But you are a girl, and it is difficult to win over the masses. Things cannot be done. It is the will of Heaven."

Fan Ziruo paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "I want to give it a try."

He Yunxiao continued, "Okay, I support you."

Ruobao smiled at He Yunxiao. In that instant, her bright eyes shone, the sun lost its light, and the world lost its color.

Sun Qiang looked at He Yunxiao and the other person, "You two..."

Since they are not yet engaged and have no official status, overly intimate actions would damage Ruobao's reputation. He Yunxiao quickly explained, "Ms. Yuhe is a rare beauty in Yinjingcheng, and I, He Yunxiao, am merely one of her many admirers."

Sun Qiang nodded. That made sense. General Fan's daughter was truly beautiful, more beautiful than a fairy. It was perfectly reasonable for the young master of the He family to be her admirer.

Sun Qiang recalled Chu Fan's fierce battles among the Yan army, and vaguely remembered Chu Tianzhu's former prowess. Compared to He Yunxiao, he preferred Chu Fan, who was plain-looking, indifferent to women, and possessed superior martial arts skills. If only Chu Fan were General Fan's son.

Black Tiger Stronghold treated Miss Fan, Yin Jingcheng's daughter, with great care. Since Black Tiger Stronghold had many men, they specially designated a few rooms in a corner of the stronghold for Yin Jingcheng's guests.

However, the house was a wooden thatched house, quite different from a proper tiled house.

To avoid suspicion, He Yunxiao arranged for the female leads to stay together, each in their own room, while he shared a room with Chu Fan, sleeping in the territory of the Short Sword Army.

After He Yunxiao arranged for the female protagonists to go to sleep, he pretended to go to sleep as well, but actually made a surprise return and quietly slipped into Chu Chu's room to transfer his skills.

The female characters' rooms were furnished quite elegantly. They had tables, chairs, benches, and even porcelain teacups and teapots.

He Yunxiao held Chu Chu in his arms as he practiced his martial arts on the chair, a surge of excitement welling up inside him.

This place is not like the Chu family courtyard in Yin Jingcheng. This place is a wooden house, and the houses are very close together with poor sound insulation. If you speak loudly, Sister Jiang in the next house will definitely hear you.

Exciting. M.cascoo.net

He Yunxiao, holding Chu Chu, made up his mind. He must buy a big house in the future; otherwise, the female leads' rooms are too close together, making it inconvenient for them to do things.

One hour later.

Chu Chu: "He Yunxiao, shouldn't you let go?"

He Yunxiao: "It hasn't been half an hour yet, let's hug for a while longer."

Another hour later.

Chu Chu: "He Yunxiao, isn't it time yet?"

Seeing that it was already dark outside, He Yunxiao knew that no one would believe him if he told Chu Chu that "it hasn't been half an hour yet," so he reluctantly let go of Chu Chu.

Today, Xiaoxiao spent two hours transferring her skills to Chuchu, so she should have more time to exercise tonight.

He Yunxiao is now like a middle-aged woman counting her leftovers, thinking about how to squeeze Chu Chu dry so that she can let Xiao Xiao have some free time. Xiao Xiao is indeed too pitiful, being suppressed by Chu Chu to the point that she can't even lift her head, and she hardly has any time to be alone with herself.

We need to separate them quickly!

"Dong dong dong".

Jiang Jie's voice came from outside the door.

"Miss Chu, are you awake? I've brought you dinner."

Chu Chu glanced at He Yunxiao.

He Yunxiao said, "Just have Xiaoxiao open the door for her, I'll hide well."

Chu Chu continued to look at He Yunxiao.

He Yunxiao asked with a puzzled look, "What's wrong, Chuchu?"

Chu Chu said, "Hand."

He Yunxiao released Chu Chu's small hand, and only then did Chu Chu let Xiao Xiao out.

Xiao Xiao came out looking distressed. With Chu Chu around, she had absolutely no chance of getting intimate with He Yunxiao. Even if she tried to secretly communicate telepathically, Chu Chu would hear her because their strengths were similar.

When will these days finally end?!

If it weren't for the fact that Xiaoxiao was being suppressed by Chuchu's mindset, she would have wanted to fight Chuchu long ago and decide He Yunxiao's fate with her fists!

He Yunxiao smiled at Xiaoxiao and urged her, "Go open the door quickly, Jiang Wuyou is still waiting."
