When Ning Ye went back to check on Lin Qinshu's expression, he realized that Lin Qinshu really didn't care about this matter at all, or perhaps the trust between the two was not as fragile as he had imagined.
Lin Qinshu glanced at Ning Ye, who had returned, and said, "Dinner is ready, come and eat quickly."
Ning Ye plopped down at the dining table. “This meal doesn’t look like Xiao Yuan’s cooking. It must be my wife’s cooking.”
Xiao Yuan said happily, "Young Master, these dishes today were prepared with great care by Miss."
Lin Qinshu served Ning Ye a bowl of rice and placed it in front of him, saying, "Come and try it, see if my cooking skills have improved."
Ning Ye, who had been wandering around outside all day, was naturally hungry. It was only after eating this bowl of rice that he began to appreciate its flavor and found the rice to be surprisingly delicious.
Just as Ning Ye was about to add more rice, Lin Qinshu suddenly said, "Husband, I will never stop you from taking a concubine, but there are some things we need to clarify beforehand."
Ning Ye, completely bewildered, said, "What do you mean by that, my wife? You don't mean you think I really have something going on with that princess, do you? That's absolutely impossible."
Lin Qinshu shook her head. "How could that be? Husband, I trust you completely. I would never have such thoughts. However, I want to remind you that no matter who it is, I am determined to become the big shot. As for the other party's identity, whether it will give you a headache, that's something you'll have to consider."
Ning Ye's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat. She said she wasn't jealous at all, but in reality, this woman's thoughts were as unpredictable as the weather.
Xiao Yuan chimed in, "Even if the master wanted to take concubines before, he had to ask the mistress's opinion first. If there was any disrespect, the mistress could deal with those concubines at will."
Lin Qinshu continued, "There can only be one person in charge, and there can never be a second person. If anyone can make decisions, where is my authority?"
“My wife, you’re overthinking it. I’ve said it many times before, I’m definitely not that kind of person. The idea of being ungrateful is absolutely unthinkable for me.”
Ning Ye earnestly said, "My wife is already one in a million in my eyes. Even a princess cannot compare to her. If you think that status alone can change things, then I think it's all just a lie."
Lin Qinshu sighed and said, "Husband, I am really afraid that some things are unpredictable. If there is anything, I hope you can be honest with me and just tell me directly."
Ning Ye scratched his head. He really couldn't tell Lin Qinshu about this matter right now; it was far too complicated.
There was no other way for Ning Ye to use his own fighting style. Of course, Lin Qinshu couldn't make Ning Ye swear a poisonous oath. Both of them knew how important the other was to them.
Meanwhile, Hu Laosan was still sitting in his centurion's seat, but General Lin was now taking decisive action against the rebels.
As it turned out, these so-called rebels were nothing more than a rabble in the face of a proper army, and only Lin Xinping's main force could achieve such an easy victory.
Although it was just after the New Year, Lin Xinping's advance was not slow at all. In a short period of time, he had already taken over half of the territory, which was completely different from the previous situation. However, this was not enough to satisfy the general's appetite; he wanted more.
Suppressing a rebellion in a region is a considerable achievement for anyone, and if done well, it is not impossible to go further.
Today, Hu Laosan also joined the army in attacking a city. This city was a very large place in the Xiguan area, named Xilian City.
The rebel army stationed here numbered in the tens of thousands, but these tens of thousands were being suppressed and were not even brave enough to leave the city to fight.
In order to rise quickly in the military, Hu Laosan resorted to desperate measures, which could be considered the fastest way for anyone to get promoted.
After all, if you can breach the city walls and hold them, it will be an immense achievement.
In the previous battles, Hu Laosan always took the lead. Even his own soldiers, after witnessing such valiant fighting, rushed forward eagerly, because they knew that if they wanted to change their fate, it was impossible without risking their lives, and nothing was priceless.
In a short period of time, Hu Laosan's men seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, and they showed absolutely no intention of retreating during the battle.
Seeing that he finally had a chance to seize the opportunity to attack the city wall, Hu Laosan did not hesitate and climbed the ladder with a steel knife in his mouth.
Those following behind were all his own brothers. At this moment, if he hesitated even slightly, he might miss the chance to be the first to reach the summit.
Although these rebels were just a rabble, they had become very skilled at defending the city after several attempts. They kept throwing all sorts of things down from the sky, and it was possible that they would even throw down a bucket of water at any time.
Hu Laosan stared intently at the situation above. If anything posed a threat to him, he would immediately use the steel knife in his mouth to knock it away; otherwise, he would quickly climb upwards.
The brothers behind him were also climbing at a fast pace. The moment their tongues approached the city wall, they saw the fierce fighting on the wall. Some people would manage to climb up, but most of them would just be thrown down again as corpses.
When people realize they have no way to survive, they will fight back desperately. No one wants to die; living is the most important thing. And now everyone is doing their best to survive.
Hu Laosan was the first to jump onto the city wall, his feet already covered in sticky blood, while people around him fell down amidst screams every now and then.
The moment Hu Laosan climbed up, several people pounced on him. Their eyes were filled with panic rather than any sense of worldly wisdom. They knew that it was either Hu Laosan or they would die, so they had no choice but to rush over.
The steel knife in Hu Laosan's hand was incredibly sharp, and its design looked somewhat strange compared to traditional steel knives, because it was a Damascus steel knife that Ning Ye had specially given him.
