"Great Khan!"
Changsun Bai advised, "As the princess said... Although our army suffered considerable losses in the battle of Lone Wolf Mountain, it did not fundamentally damage our forces. We should take advantage of the current morale of the Xiongnu army to launch a counterattack and annihilate their main force in one fell swoop!"
"Um!"
The Xianbei Khan nodded and ordered, "Send word to all tribes that all men aged 16 to 60 assemble! We must finish this in one battle and settle things once and for all with the Xiongnu!"
......
Chenjia Village, Jiang Ming's home.
Jiang Ming, who hadn't slept for two days and one night, slept soundly until the afternoon of the next day, and his mental state was greatly restored.
As soon as he woke up, Murong Xue entered the room with a worried expression and sat down by his bedside.
"My lord, that golden wolf... you must hide him well, and you must not let a word of it slip out!"
She warned worriedly, "This thing is useless to us, but it's the root of all trouble! If the Xiongnu find out, they will surely..."
"You didn't tell your father, did you?"
"No!"
Murong Xue shook her head vigorously: "I'll definitely keep this to myself, my husband. If it really doesn't work, just dissolve it and make it disappear completely..."
"Ha... Such a woman's view!"
Jiang Ming pinched her chin and laughed, "Even a piece of toilet paper has its uses, let alone this golden wolf... Don't worry, your husband will definitely find a good use for it!"
"My husband..."
Murong Xue added worriedly, "The Xiongnu might very well attack! We need to prepare...better safe than sorry! Just in case..."
"Um!"
Jiang Ming nodded: "Go and inform the Xianbei soldiers on guard at the gate to go up the mountain and call Murong Lie over. Also, call your eldest sister in!"
"Okay!"
Murong Xue went out and called Chen Damei into the house.
"Big sister!"
Jiang Ming instructed, "Go home and tell your father to give him some silver and have him take his servants to the county town to buy pigeons. Buy as many as you can, try to buy as many as possible."
"Pigeons? Why would you buy pigeons?" the younger sister asked, puzzled.
"hehe......."
Jiang Ming laughed and said, "Of course I'll keep him here. I'll tell him this is a test for me. If he completes the task well... I'll reward him handsomely in the future!"
"Um!"
The younger sister nodded obediently, then murmured, "Husband, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."
"Tell me..."
Chen Damei said somewhat embarrassedly, "The Dong brothers are scoundrels, but their sister and mother are innocent... uh uh uh."
"Speak your mind!" Jiang Ming frowned slightly.
Chen Damei blinked fearfully and murmured, "The night before last, Chen Dazhuang sealed off the Dong family's property... He locked Master Dong alone in the basement, and the women were all driven out. The maids and servants can find other homes, but Miss Dong and her mother have nowhere to go and are left to wander the streets, which is very pitiful..."
"so what?"
"so......."
The younger sister said with difficulty, "My brother begged me today, hoping I could ask you to make an exception. He... he still wants to marry Miss Dong, but he's afraid you won't agree..."
"Useless! You good-for-nothing!"
Jiang Ming cursed, "Three-legged hens are hard to find, but two-legged women are plentiful! That Miss Dong can't be kept! If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in the spring..."
"So what does my husband plan to do with Miss Dong? And her mother?" Chen Damei asked with a nervous look in her eyes.
"Send him to a brothel!"
Jiang Ming replied, "Those who commit adultery with other men's wives and daughters will surely have their wives and daughters defiled by others! Other people's innocent girls are taken to brothels by their family and defiled by men, ridden by thousands and trampled by tens of thousands. Their family deserves this retribution!"
"My husband!"
With a sorrowful expression, Chen Damei advised, "No... the sins were committed by her brothers, what does it have to do with Miss Dong? Husband, forgive and forget, don't push things to the extreme!"
"snort!"
Jiang Ming sneered, "So you've learned to talk back to me now, huh?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Damei was so frightened that she immediately knelt down before Jiang Ming.
"stand up!"
When Jiang Ming saw her like this, he got angry and grabbed her and pulled her up.
"With your behavior... how will you ever become the Empress?"
Jiang Ming scolded her angrily, "To be an empress, you have to be ruthless, you know? Otherwise, how will you keep the harem in check?"
Chen Damei's mind was in turmoil. She shook her head in anguish, "I never wanted to be an empress... I'm just an ordinary village woman. My husband! I only know to be kind to others... to forgive and forget, to leave a way out for others, so that we can meet again in the future..."
"Bullshit!"
Jiang Ming pinched Chen Damei's chin and asked, "If someone killed me, and your enemy still wanted to marry you, what would you do?"
"Me? Me?"
Chen Damei shook her head frantically, her eyes filled with fear...
"explain!"
"I will go with my husband, commit suicide to be buried with him, I will never let my husband be disgraced... Waaah!"
Chen Damei was forced to cry by Jiang Ming's interrogation.
"cough!"
Jiang Ming sighed deeply, looking at his younger sister with eyes full of helplessness.
My younger sister is a good woman, gentle and virtuous, hardworking and conscientious, definitely the best choice to be a wife.
