"Mr. Fan Zeng, how is everything arranged?"
"Rest assured, my lord, this time, my cooperation with Imperial Censor Han will surely ensure that no matter how many enemies dare to invade, we will annihilate them!"
"Good, Han Xin, tonight you and Mr. Fan Zeng will achieve this great feat together!"
"Thank you very much, my teacher."
"Xiang Liang, I'm entrusting everything in the military camp to you. Although we have some past grievances, at this critical juncture, I don't want you to betray me. Do you understand?"
"Your Excellency, rest assured, Xiang Liang understands."
"Very well, then I will depart with peace of mind. Xiang Yu, go!"
"promise!"
After making the arrangements, Li Lin led Xiang Yu away from the military camp and headed to the Yu residence.
The sky was gradually darkening.
As dusk settled and the city lights began to twinkle, it was as bright as day. In the last rays of the setting sun, pedestrians continued to wander the streets.
Li Lin walked along the fairly bustling street.
He couldn't help but feel that someone was watching him.
But he didn't point it out.
He also did not send Xiang Yu to investigate.
Instead, he acted as if he hadn't seen anything and strode over to the Yu residence.
After entering the mansion.
Under Yu Miaoge's hospitable hospitality, they enjoyed a very sumptuous dinner.
Strangely enough.
During the day, the Yu family delivered over a hundred cartloads of salted fish.
But at the banquet that evening, he didn't get to eat a single piece of salted fish.
Such a big question mark.
He didn't even notice, and instead flirted and bantered with Yu Miaoge, having a great time.
This infuriated Xiang Yu, who was guarding him, and he cursed Li Lin, that corrupt official, in his heart.
Night had completely fallen.
Li Lin shook his head and patted his belly, which was as round as a ball, and returned to the room where he had been arranged to sleep, feeling quite satisfied.
I took a shower without any trouble.
Then, after putting on his clothes and armor again, just as he was about to get into bed, he discovered a stunningly beautiful woman lying on the bed, her eyes swollen from crying.
"Damn it, the woman I like so much actually slept with this corrupt official! And this corrupt official actually made me guard the door for him!"
Xiang Yu stood outside the door, cursing and swearing.
His face was filled with anger.
If his uncle hadn't repeatedly warned him, he might have drawn his broadsword and cut Li Lin in half.
At that moment, he was unaware that many dark figures were rapidly approaching from his surroundings.
inside the house.
It's warm and cozy.
Li Lin, however, did not act as Xiang Yu had expected, indulging in a bestial rampage.
Instead, he sat politely on the edge of the bed.
Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, who looked extremely dejected, he couldn't help but smile. His eyes, as bright as stars, darted around, and he comforted her, "Miss Yu, don't cry. I'm not the kind of man who can't get my pants up when I see a pretty woman. You can rest assured that I won't do anything that goes against propriety to you."
"ah?"
She froze, staring wide-eyed at his incredibly sincere face, unable to detect even the slightest hint of malice in him.
"Then why did you threaten me before, demanding that I come to the room before the moon even rose...?"
"If we don't do this, will they fall for our trap?"
"What?"
"Yu Ji, you've underestimated the true nature of things. The most abundant resource in this world is beautiful women. Don't you think it's incredibly foolish to risk your life for a so-called peerless beauty?"
"this......"
"I admit that you are very beautiful and charming, and you have the graceful and elegant appearance of a well-bred lady, which gives people a strong sense of conquest. However, these qualities are not enough to make me lose my mind, and they are not worth making me do something against my principles for someone as insignificant as you."
At this moment, Li Lin was nowhere near the lecherous man he had been during the day.
He is clearly a gentleman.
His entire aura changed, becoming so resolute and so humble.
It was as if one could see boundless wisdom in his bright eyes.
Yu Ji shook her head and remained silent.
Unfortunately, she didn't have anything to say at the moment.
She felt like she was on a rollercoaster of emotions. The uncertainty and insecurity she felt earlier had vanished, replaced by a different kind of fear, causing her to experience extreme highs and lows, unsure when she would finally return to the bottom.
"Bang!"
A cannon shot rang out.
The sounds of fighting erupted.
The earth suddenly trembled.
The snowflakes outside the window kept falling.
The cold north wind kept blowing.
"Miss Yu, listen! The sounds of battle are getting closer and closer!"
"Your Excellency, I beg you, please show mercy! My father isn't..."
"Don't speak, just listen to the sounds of fighting, okay!"
Li Lin smiled kindly and stroked her hair.
It's strange.
Her chaotic thoughts seemed to calm down at that moment.
"boom!"
The entire door was kicked open by a tremendous external force.
The man who fell to the ground was a man in black holding a sharp knife.
"Your Excellency, get dressed quickly! There's a thief!"
Just as Xiang Yu finished speaking, he unexpectedly turned around and glanced at Li Lin, only to find that Li Lin was already fully armored, and Yu Ji's clothes were without a single wrinkle.
