Chapter 60 Dai Dai, help me take my clothes off.
Ji Yujing was indeed in a bad mood.
Who could be in a good mood after something like this?
Wu Xiang's words to Wu Tingshan were true; he genuinely admired Wu Tingshan. But now, because of an absurd imperial edict, he had to fight a battle with him that could have been avoided.
It is a waste of manpower and resources.
In the past, when he was in a bad mood, he would box or go for a night run to exhaust himself so that he wouldn't have the energy to think about anything else.
I've had enough sleep; it's a new day.
But now, he was in a bad mood, and he wanted to go to Lin Qingdai's side. He didn't care what he did, as long as he could be with her.
The delicate woman possessed a warm and boundless energy. Being by her side prevented negative emotions from lingering, allowing him time to recover.
But he never expected to receive such a pleasant surprise.
"Madam can dance?"
These words made Lin Qingdai's gaze turn cold: "What do you mean? Dancing is so difficult that I can't learn it?"
Lin Er's competitive spirit was reignited.
Ji Yujing found it cute and smiled again.
"No, what I mean is that the lady's expertise is too broad."
"Do you really think so?"
"Hmm. If you don't believe me, listen to my heartbeat."
"..."
They really think she can tell everything from a heartbeat?
Seeing that Ji Yujing was in a better mood, Lin Qingdai led him back to his room.
When Mingyue and Mingqian saw Ji Yujing return, they left on their own initiative.
"Go take a shower?"
"The weather is getting cooler, so you shouldn't use that cold well water anymore."
While getting him a change of clothes from the wardrobe, Lin Qingdai continued talking.
"Have you had dinner yet? Would you like the kitchen to send some food over?"
Ji Yujing didn't respond until Lin Qingdai handed him a change of clothes. "What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear me, or can't you speak?"
Ji Yujing took the clothes, his gaze fixed on her: "Madam, has something been forgotten?"
Lin Qingdai looked completely bewildered: "What?"
Ji Yujing: "..."
Never mind, I'll take a shower first and then come here.
To his surprise, the moment he turned around, a smile appeared in Lin Qingdai's eyes.
man!
While Ji Yujing took a shower, Lin Qingdai quickly washed up and changed into clean clothes. She had originally planned to change into comfortable undergarments, but as she stood in front of the wardrobe, she remembered Ji Yujing's expectant gaze.
Without much hesitation, she found a light blue dress to change into and covered her face with a light veil.
This dress is a two-piece set; the inner layer is a strapless long dress, and the outer layer is a matching jacket. The fabric is flowing and the embroidery is exquisite.
This dress was given to her by her older sister before she came to Lingdong.
She still remembers the situation clearly...
Lin Qingwu occupied one side of the small round table and said to her sister in a carefree manner, "Men, sometimes you have to give them a little treat."
Lin Qingdai: "What kind of reward?"
Lin Qingwu was speechless with anger at her younger sister, who had become stupid from reading too much.
Have you read all the books that your nanny gave you?
"No, what's so interesting about that?"
Lin Qingwu: "..."
It took a moment for the voice to return.
"So what are your plans after marriage? To live a life of blindness?"
Lin Qingdai: "..."
Not necessarily.
Smiling, she asked her sister, "Since I'm marrying Ji Yujing, I have some expectations for married life. What kind of 'sweetness' are you referring to, sister?"
Lin Qingwu began to explain in detail.
For example, you can occasionally cook him some soup or soup, or create some surprises for him on special occasions.
Before Lin Qingdai could ask any further questions about the surprises, Lin Qingwu spontaneously gave examples.
“If our Dai Dai wore this outfit and danced for Ji Yujing, she would definitely seduce him.”
Lin Qingdai thought her sister was talking nonsense.
Why would a married couple dance for no reason?
They must have so much free time.
But now, she has changed her mind.
If that person were Ji Yujing, the man she had held in her heart for so long, then doing something to make him happy would indeed not be a big deal.
Will he be captivated?
She even felt a little bit of anticipation.
Just as Ji Yujing returned to his dormitory, a soft, alluring voice rang in his ear.
It posed no threat whatsoever, yet its presence was unmistakable. In an instant, he was firmly under control.
"General Ji, would you like Dai Dai to perform a dance?"
He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a girl in a gorgeous dance costume lying on a recliner, looking languid and charming.
That familiar little face was veiled by a light gauze, only her eyes were visible, moist and full of affection.
She wanted to please him, willingly and even finding pleasure in it.
In the past, whenever Ji Yujing saw phrases like "a beauty that could topple kingdoms," he only felt absurdity. To joke about the fate of the nation for a woman—what could be more absurd than that?
But now, looking at the beauty not far away, he suddenly understood those men's thoughts. A kingdom may be conquered, but the heart of a peerless beauty cannot be won over simply by wishing to.
And he was lucky enough to win Dai Dai's heart.
After observing her quietly for a while, Ji Yujing's lips twitched slightly. "Of course."
After saying this, he sat down at the round table.
He had just taken a shower with cold water, and his whole body exuded a cool and refreshing aura, but his dark eyes were fiery, fixed firmly on Lin Qingdai.
Watching her rise gracefully, the folding fan in her hand unfolded with a whoosh.
There was no background music, yet every movement of hers seemed to have its own melody, clean and crisp, yet indescribably alluring.
When Miss Lin said she wanted to dance, she wasn't just saying it casually.
She really can...
After a series of steady and smooth spins, Lin Qingdai fell into Ji Yujing's arms. In an instant, the deadly enchantress transformed back into a spoiled and temperamental little devil.
"I'm so tired, I'm not jumping anymore."
Ji Yujing held her firmly, his gaze dark and aggressive.
When is the next time to jump?
Lin Qingdai: "..."
"It depends on my mood."
"If you can make me happy, General, I'll dance for you again."
Ji Yujing: "Let's begin."
Lin Qingdai: "Hmm?"
Ji and Jing lowered their heads and answered with a kiss.
At the same time, he picked up Lin Qingdai and walked straight to the bed. Their lips never parted during that journey.
Upon reaching the bedside, Ji Yujing put Lin Qingdai down and began to undress.
This wasn't the first time Lin Qingdai had seen Ji Yujing undress, but for some reason, she felt that this time was different from before.
He was very eager to have it.
Just looking at her, without even touching her, made her blush and feel hot.
"Don't take it off."
Looking at the girl's flushed face, Ji Yujing's mischievous nature resurfaced. He stopped undressing and pulled the delicate girl into his arms.
"What, Madam wishes to do it for me?"
Lin Qingdai: "..."
"I didn't say that."
Ji Yujing didn't respond to that, but instead gently and slowly nibbled at the tip of her ear and kissed the base of her ear...
As his thin lips paused at the corner of her mouth, he coaxed in a low voice, "Dai Dai, help me take it off."
"I belong to you, don't you want to see for yourself?"
Lin Qingdai couldn't stand his words, but she was also genuinely moved by the phrase "I belong to you."
"Ji Yujing, you bastard."
She cursed under her breath, her slender white fingertips landing on his belt...
Autumn has arrived in Lingdong, but she was still drenched in sweat from the exertion. Anyone who didn't know her would think she had spent an hour training in the military camp.
Lin Qingdai, you are really too naive.
Lin Qingdai was not very satisfied with herself, but all her dissatisfaction vanished when Ji Yujing guided her hand to his well-defined abdominal muscles.
Because there was no time to spare.
His abs were so hot, undulating slightly in her palm, each undulation a testament to his desire for her.
"Was the general completely captivated by Dai Dai's dance just now?"
"Um."
The sound was so soft that it was almost inaudible, but Lin Qingdai still heard it.
She couldn't help but feel a little happy, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling: "Then I'll dance for you again next time, but we have to agree beforehand that this is the only dance I can do."
Ultimately, I just don't have much interest in dancing, nor the patience to learn it.
A smile spread across Ji Yujing's eyes.
Miss Lin acts entirely according to her mood, and can be described as having no rhyme or reason.
"knew."
The easy agreement made Lin Qingdai very happy.
She kissed Ji Yujing and said, "Don't be sad. If you have difficulties, face them; if you have good fortune, enjoy it. I will always be with you."
How long will you stay?
"lifetime."
"Too little."
"...Then, three lifetimes?"
"Barely acceptable."
These words made Lin Qingdai unable to help but shout, "That's enough, isn't it? Can't you give me a chance to enjoy something else..."
The word "man" was crushed by Ji Yujing's hot breath as he poured it into her lips and teeth, and her exquisite dress shattered into pieces in his palm.
He was frugal by nature and rarely destroyed anything.
But tonight, some unfamiliar emotions were stirred up, and my behavior began to spiral out of control.
The weight is unprecedented.
Unprecedented depth.
He gave the person beneath him no chance to catch their breath.
As she began to lose control, the winding, secluded path relentlessly tormented him.
In that instant, Ji Yujing felt that he would be willing to die on her body.
After the commotion, Lin Qingdai fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up again, it was already the next morning.
As always, she was clean and dry, as was her bed. The only difference was that Ji Yujing did not go to the military camp.
Not only that, he was sleeping so soundly.
Lin Qingdai turned to look at him, thinking to herself, "General Ji looks so handsome when he's asleep."
Looking at him like this, he finally resembles the person I remember.
After watching for a while, all her drowsiness disappeared, and Lin Qingdai finally remembered someone's rude behavior last night. He had completely torn her dress to shreds and wouldn't allow her to protest.
Suddenly I didn't want him to sleep.
She stretched out her leg and kicked him.
Ji Yujing woke up, turned to his side, and put his right arm around Lin Qingdai's waist, his possessiveness blatantly obvious.
"You're awake? What are your plans for today, Madam? I'll keep you company."
Lin Qingdai's attention was diverted, "General, aren't you going to the military camp today?"
Ji Yujing: "Okay, I won't go for the next two days. I'll stay home with you."
Lin Qingdai guessed the reason.
"Has the imperial edict arrived?"
Ji Yujing's fingers twirled a strand of Lin Qingdai's hair, and the fragrance of her hair wafted out, seeping into his nostrils.
"Um."
Can I come along?
Ji Yujing was amused. "I'd like to too, but Lingdong can't be left without someone in charge."
Next door, there's a vicious dog eyeing you menacingly.
"Dai Dai, I can only go out with peace of mind if you stay in Lingdong."
"I received a secret report that the marriage alliance between Dongshao Kingdom and Canglan Kingdom is a done deal."
The purpose is obvious to everyone.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingdai sighed, feigning sorrow.
Ji Yujing asked her what was wrong.
She replied, "I originally wanted to marry into a family to enjoy a life of comfort, but now I'm more exhausted than an old ox."
Ji Yujing kissed her lips, his eyes filled with unbelievable tenderness.
“Dai Dai, once all this is over, I will definitely take you to travel all over the forty-eight states of Xun Kingdom and finish that Dai Dai Travelogue.”
"Don't regret coming into my life."
Please.
Seeing him like this, Lin Qingdai could no longer pretend and kissed him back.
“Go, I will guard Lingdong in place of General Ji.”
After a moment of tenderness, the couple got up.
Lin Qingdai's arms and legs ached, and she had to change into clothes that Ji Yujing had provided.
Now, his technique is skillful and fast, and in no time, Lin Qingdai was dressed properly.
"Would you like me to help you tie your hair, Madam?"
Lin Qingdai: "..."
I haven't seen it before, so I lack confidence.
"Never mind, let's call Mingyue instead."
Ji Yujing: "Okay."
As he finished speaking, he squatted down beside the couch and "stretched his feet out."
Lin Qingdai: "...What are you doing?"
Ji Yujing's tone softened with an air of matter-of-fact: "What else could I be doing but helping the lady put on her shoes and socks?"
Lin Qingdai: "..."
There were some things she couldn't hold back, "You are a commander-in-chief."
Kneeling down to put on his wife's stockings and shoes—where is his dignity if word gets out?
Ji Yujing didn't think anything of it. "What's wrong with taking care of your wife? So-called authority is based on battle achievements."
There's some truth to what he said.
She even danced for him.
Why bother with so much between husband and wife?
Thinking of this, Lin Qingdai stretched out her foot without any psychological burden.
General Ji put shoes on her; she was determined to walk a few more steps today.
Joy in one's heart will surely leave a mark on one's face.
Ji Yujing held one of her feet, but his gaze lingered on her slightly curved eyebrows. "Very happy?"
"Um."
"What are you so happy about?"
"General Ji even put on my shoes and socks for me, which means I'm good at managing my husband. When I return to the capital, I can brag about it to my sister and my girlfriends, and at least I won't be outdone by anyone."
Ji Yujing was amused by the inexplicable competitive spirit that Lin Er Guniang occasionally displayed. "Lin Er Guniang is indeed skilled at managing her husband."
Like now, even before he's left Lingdong, he's already thinking about ending all this and returning to her side as soon as possible.
Everything was settled, and I had breakfast at home.
Ji Yujing took Lin Qingdai into the mountains. He had made too much of a scene last night, so he carried her on his back the whole day and didn't let her walk a single step.
Lin Qingdai enjoyed his thoughtfulness with a clear conscience, her sweet words as always: "General Ji is the best gentleman I have ever met."
"Dai Dai really married the right person."
Ji Yujing's lips began to curl upwards, unable to suppress it at all.
"Anything else?"
"General Ji is not only handsome, but also incredibly strong. He can carry his wife up the mountain without any effort."
Ji Yujing: "Aren't you calling me a barbarian now? All that brute strength, perfect for doing chores for you?"
Lin Qingdai: "I'm not going to say it anymore, I won't say it again."
Ji Yujing finally understood that he had pleased Miss Lin the Second; she was so sweet that she could practically ooze syrup.
What are you going up the mountain for?
"Catch the wild chicken and make roast chicken for the lady."
"Okay, where did you hide the wine? Take me to see it. I can keep watch for you when you're not home."
Ji and Jing smiled and said clearly, "Okay."
...
September 24th is an auspicious day.
It is advisable to travel far.
Ji Yujing led an army of 70,000 out of Lingdong, and Lin Qingdai, dressed in her finest attire, saw him off from Jingning City.
On the bustling main street, she stood with her hands clasped in front of her, her wide sleeves swaying gently, exuding nobility and grace, and said, "I hope the general will return in triumph soon."
"Lingdong will surely prevail."
Ji Yujing looked down at her, his heart overflowing with love. He had never imagined that one day he could leave Lingdong so peacefully, simply because his wife was here, and he was certain that she could protect Lingdong for him.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he declared loudly, "While I am away from Lingdong, I may consult Miss Lin Er on matters I cannot decide, and her opinion shall prevail."
"Military affairs are also included."
These words shocked everyone.
These words imply that during Ji and Jing's absence from Lingdong, Lin Er Guniang held supreme decision-making power in Lingdong at all levels.
To what extent must one trust someone to make such a decision, especially in front of the public and the military?
"They're gone."
After a long eye contact, Ji Yujing looked away and spurred his horse forward.
Lin Qingdai gazed at his retreating figure, "See you off, General."
The public outcry then rose up.
"To the General."
"We hope the general will return in triumph soon."
Please take care, everyone.
...
The sound was deafening and lingered for a long time.
Lin Qingdai stood there for a very long time that day.
Ji Yujing was at the very front of the group and could no longer be seen, but she still refused to leave.
None of his close relatives tried to persuade him.
They both knew the state of the young couple's relationship. Right now, in the midst of their honeymoon, Ji and Jing were not only going back to the battlefield, but their return date was also uncertain.
Worrying is inevitable.
That night, Lin Qingdai lay in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
He rarely slept at home normally. But at that time, she knew he was nearby, and she could still see him if she wanted to.
Tonight was different; she knew he was drifting further and further away from her.
No matter how much she missed him, she couldn't see him.
Thinking of all this, she suddenly turned over, her slender white fingers poking at his pillow absentmindedly. "I can't sleep, it's all your fault."
Ming Qian didn't want to disturb her; she was so tired, she would definitely fall asleep after tossing and turning for a while. But then she heard this.
"..."
She got up and went to Lin Qingdai's side, sitting casually on a small stool by the bed. This was always the thing she used when she slept with her.
"Miss, can't you sleep?"
Lin Qingdai looked at her and said, "Mm."
Upon hearing this, Mingqian laughed exaggeratedly.
Lin Qingdai: "What are you laughing at? You look silly."
Mingqian: "Then it's time to bring this out."
Lin Qingdai found the girl's behavior strange and became genuinely curious, so she couldn't help but ask, "What?"
Mingqian got up, walked to the small cabinet where the novel "The Legend of the Heroes of Xun Kingdom" was kept, and took out a storybook from it.
A moment later, he returned to the bedside and handed the storybook to Lin Qingdai.
"The latest volume of The Legend of the Heroes of Xun Kingdom, here's a sample copy."
Sample book?
That means the book hasn't been officially released yet.
To avoid impacting sales, sample copies are usually kept confidential.
Where did it come from?
As she spoke, Lin Qingdai sat up, clutching the soft quilt.
He reached out and picked up the book, flipping through it casually.
It's definitely in the same style as always, and the content matches.
She couldn't help but feel a little happy.
Having a favorite novel is undoubtedly a blessing on a sleepless night.
Seeing her mistress happy, Mingqian felt much more at ease.
"Given by my son-in-law."
"He even specifically told me to give it to you only when you're unhappy."
In an instant, Lin Qingdai felt a sweet warmth in her heart.
Thinking to myself, "Since he's so good at this, I won't call him a barbarian anymore."
"I don't know where he got it from."
Ming Qian raised an eyebrow. "I know."
"Oh? Where did he get it?"
"The son-in-law specially sent a team to find the owner of this set of books and only obtained it after mentioning his name."
As Lin Qingdai listened, she couldn't help but imagine the boss's reaction when he heard "General Ji wants the latest edition of The Legend of the Heroes of Xun Kingdom," and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
General Ji knows how to please his wife.
When he gets home, we must praise him.
Ji Yujing wasn't by my side that night, but his story made the night still vivid and warm.
On the evening of October 5th, an urgent report arrived at Tianyun City.
An urgent report stated that two valiant generals from Ningdong Army, Xin and Chen Siliang, each led 10,000 troops to launch a strong attack on Wuyue City and Chengtian City.
Cities with weak defenses cannot withstand a strong attack for long. Once captured, the Ningdong Army can prolong its time fighting in a foreign land.
Meanwhile, the main force of the Ningdong Army, led by Ji Yujing himself, has now arrived within forty miles outside Tianyun City, but has not yet shown any signs of setting up camp.
Upon hearing this, Wu Tingshan not only showed no sign of anger, but also let out a low, cold laugh.
"The younger generation is truly formidable."
"Such radicalism, if done to anyone else, would be no different from suicide."
But now their opponent is Ji Yujing.
Wu Tingshan had to be on his guard; if he made a mistake, the battle would turn in the direction Ji Yujing had envisioned.
After a long silence, Wu Tingshan gave the order, "Send troops to support Wuyue City and Chengtian City. Other cities with sparse troops around Tianyun City must strengthen night patrols to prevent Ji Yujing from launching a feint attack."
"promise."
*
A battle between the two most powerful armies in Xun Kingdom is about to break out.
Almost all eyes in the Xun Kingdom were on this place. Whoever won this battle would be the number one warrior in the Xun Kingdom's army.
Meanwhile, the capital city of Jinque also received an urgent report.
The Zhang family in the southeast declared themselves kings.
Zhang He, the head of the Zhang family, claims to be a direct descendant of the old dynasty and accuses the Song family of usurping the throne from the Zhang family. He also accuses the Song family of neglecting border defenses by causing two famous generals to fight each other. He argues that the Song family is not worthy of ruling the world.
In the imperial court, the emperor was furious.
Upon hearing the news, she shattered the jade ring on her finger.
"Zhang Huining, send..."
Before the emperor could announce his intentions, the fourth prince, who had received word of it the night before, interrupted him. In full view of everyone, he knelt before the emperor and said, "Yun Yan is willing to lead troops to conquer the Zhang family in the southeast and share the emperor's burdens."
The emperor was taken aback: "What nonsense is this? Take the fourth prince away."
Song Yunyan: "Father, when the country is in trouble, scholars wield swords. I, Yunyan, enjoy a life of luxury as a prince. What right do I have to shirk my responsibilities?"
“Yun Yan once served in the Lingdong military camp. Even military generals like Cong Xin and Xu Xian are not much older than me.”
“Yun Yanxin yearns for it.”
The boy's eyes were bright, revealing a spirit of eager anticipation.
The emperor looked at his son, knowing he truly yearned for military life, and felt a surge of pride. The sons of the Song family, after all, possessed spirit.
But this matter cannot be ignored by the Imperial Concubine.
The Emperor said, "I will discuss this matter with the Imperial Concubine."
Song Yunyan: "Your subject came from Mother before, and Mother agreed."
The emperor remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Li Hengsheng."
The famous general of Xun, Li Hengsheng, stepped forward and said, "I hereby order you to lead an army of 80,000 to kill Zhang He and his ilk. Song Yunyan will be your deputy."
"Gather the troops, we'll set off first thing tomorrow morning."
Li Hengsheng and Song Yunyan exchanged a glance and loudly accepted the imperial decree.
