Fu Tong'er got off the couch and faced Master Jiu directly, unafraid. This reminded the man of her brother, Fu Lei. This young woman was surprisingly not only not weak, but also possessed a proud character.
All I heard was her saying forcefully, "Are you sure you want to follow military rules and spank the person next to you?"
Lu Zhenzhi hesitated. This was a first for him. Military rules were strict. Kindness was not the key to commanding troops, nor justice to wealth. Military orders were as firm as a mountain, and no one could disobey. He always followed these rules. But now, because of her, he hesitated. This girl was indeed his bedmate. She had even slept obediently on him for most of the night. Was he wrong?
"Take him away!"
"Yes! Master Jiu!"
Fu Tong'er turned around, her blood-red snow mountain fox fur cloak fluttering. The next second, she pulled the rope and threw the cloak in front of Jiu Ye. The cloak fluttered and landed on the man's black gold-rimmed boots.
Then, she took off the chicken blood pearl hairpin that the man had just given her and threw it behind her - it fell into the man's outstretched palm.
"That's it for us, Lord Regent."
Fu Tong'er finished speaking calmly and followed the soldiers out, leaving Lu Zhenzhi alone in the commander's tent to think about what he had just said.
What did she mean when she said, "That's it for us"?
Lu Zhenzhi looked at the red fox fur that was custom-made for the girl on the boots - bright and eye-catching; in his hand was the pearl hairpin that he had asked a royal jewelry craftsman to custom-make, the only one of its kind in the entire imperial city, bright and charming.
She said, “That’s it for us”…
…
After an unknown amount of time, a soldier rushed in and reported: "Master Jiu, Master Jiu, something bad has happened."
Lu Zhenzhi put her pearl hairpin into his chest, then squatted down to pick up her blood-red fox fur coat, folded it and placed it on the soft couch where he often rested. He said calmly: "What's wrong? Did she faint again? If she fainted, bring her in. Do we need to report such a thing?"
"No, Miss Fu injured the executioner and escaped on horseback!"
Lu Zhenzhi laughed. She was indeed her. How could she surrender so easily? If she wanted to escape, why did she take off her fox fur coat to protect her from the wind?
Suddenly, Lu Zhenzhi remembered her words: "This is how we are." And the pearl hairpin she threw away in front of her chest. The girl returned all the things he gave her!
"Seal off the Imperial City immediately!"
"Yes! Master Jiu!"
"Master Jiu!" Deputy General Xiao walked in. "I heard that you were going to punish Miss Fu according to military law. Miss Fu escaped?"
"Um."
"Master Jiu, she's not from the military, she's your bedmate. Besides, this is just your first time meeting her. So, are you hoping to part ways with Miss Fu?"
Let’s go our separate ways! ?
When Lu Zhenzhi heard this, his heart ached for a second: "Military orders are as heavy as a mountain. Once they are captured, they will still be dealt with according to military law."
"Master Jiu, it would be fine if Miss Fu returned to your residence. However, if she leaves the city to return to her homeland to gather reinforcements, you will inevitably go to war with the Kingdom of Dian. This would be extremely disadvantageous to you, Master Jiu. Moreover, spies sent by the Kingdom of Qi have already entered our territory. I am worried that if Miss Fu leaves the city, she might meet with misfortune."
"She can't leave the imperial city."
"Master Jiu, do you think Fu Lei's sister would be trapped by you like an ordinary woman? She is just malnourished, not mentally ill. Well, Master Jiu, this is all I have to say. You can do whatever you want. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
"Leave first? Where to? Where is Lieutenant General Xiao going if he's not staying in the army?"
"Master Jiu, it's a personal matter. I also need to start a family."
"And Tong'er's girl, Qiao'er?"
"How did Master Jiu know?"
"Her lady ran away, and she still has the heart to date you?"
"Maybe he's back home..." Xiao Pu said, "So, my life is over?"
"Humph." Lu Zhenzhi shouted, "Someone come here."
A soldier came in and clasped his fists and said, "Master Jiu!"
"Take a detachment to the outskirts of East City and make sure to find Miss Fu!"
"yes!"
