She kept kissing me, and I could only let it go for now. Special times call for special treatment. If I hurt her feelings now, it would only make her morale even lower. Besides, she was one of my wives after all, so a kiss on the mouth wouldn't mean anything. In order to take care of her feelings and let her work together with me, I stroked her face and comforted her with a passionate kiss. This was all I could do.

Afterwards, we went into the house to rest. She also hoped that I could do what I did with Yunwen last night, but I refused by saying that it was not appropriate to get pregnant now. She thought it made sense. In addition, when she kissed me, I did not push her away. So she was quite satisfied now. She stayed close to me all night. After all, there were not many times when we could be alone together, so she cherished it very much.

"Brother Zhou Bo, what are you going to do next?" Bai Lu whispered in my ear.

I hugged her and said, "We can only take one step at a time now. Tomorrow I will inform Yunwen of the situation and see what she thinks. Then we can discuss what to do next. No matter what Hu Lingshang does now, we can only do our own thing and build walls to prevent foreign enemies, store food for war, and train soldiers for defense. Only in this way can we hope to win."

She buried her head in my chest and said, "Don't worry, no matter what the result is this time, I will be with you. I am your wife and I will never leave you. Even if we die, we should die together."

I gently stroked her face, her silky, well-maintained skin made me feel kind, and said, "I am very pleased that you think so. What I need most now is unity. Tell me, can you really do it, okay?"

She got up from me and said, "Of course, if you treat me as your wife, then I am your wife. How can a wife abandon her husband? That would be so shameless! I, Song Bailu, graduated from a prestigious school after all, so I still have some moral values."

I smiled bitterly. After all, there are conditions. I must treat her as my wife. If I take some and let her think I didn't do that, what will happen? I don't know. I just feel that this is still like a transaction, but not as straightforward as the one between Yunwen and me. She never treats me with benefits, and never needs it. She only needs a look to know that each other only has each other in mind.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of her who is still in the ant hole. I wonder how she is doing now and whether she is safe. I really hope that the person next to me is her.

Not long after that, Bai Lu and I fell asleep in each other's arms. I was tired after a day's work, and I had used the Golden Que Sword when I dealt with Mei Sanniang in the Nether Cave. All my strength had been used up by the Golden Que Sword. If it weren't for the nutrients from the Nine Revolutions Elixir in my body that helped me recover some, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to hold on on the way back. Now I'm lying in this warm bed, covered with a cashmere quilt, with a pretty lady as my pillow. Naturally, I feel very comfortable. I felt sleepy and fell asleep soon.

There was no conversation that night and I slept until dawn. Early in the morning, I heard some squeaking sounds outside. I got up from the quilt and planned to go take a look, but I felt a strange chill in my body. At this time, Bailu opened the door and came in. When she saw me, her face immediately turned red and she lowered her head slightly. I noticed that her behavior was abnormal, so I followed her line of sight and immediately hid back in the quilt in fear!

"Oh my god, where are my clothes and pants? Who is so bad to play a prank on me so early in the morning? I am definitely not being a hooligan. Bailu, you have to believe me, I am definitely not such a frivolous person." I said hurriedly.

Song Bailu smiled and said, "I know, I know. Brother Zhou Bo is definitely not such a frivolous person. Because I took your clothes away, there are too many earthy smells on them. I was afraid that you would feel uncomfortable wearing them, so I washed them for you in the morning and just dried them and brought them to you. But Brother Zhou Bo, why didn't you even look at yourself and just jumped out of the bed like that? It's really embarrassing."

My face turned red and I really wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground and never see anyone again!

"So, you haven't seen everything you should see, right?" I asked, coughing.

"I'm your wife, there's nothing I can't see. It's exactly the same as when I first saw it..." Bai Lu said, shyly raising her thumbs up to show her praise.

I was a little proud, but then I thought, it's not right to discuss this so early in the morning, so I scratched my neck and changed the subject to ease the embarrassment, asking, "What's going on outside? Why is it so noisy?"

"Well, you said last night that the giant ants of the alliance are now waiting outside the city, so the hyenas are gathering, thinking that enemies are coming, and they are all chattering in the city." Bai Lu said.

"Ah? You come so early. Give me the clothes quickly, so there won't be any misunderstanding." I said.

Bai Lu came over and handed me the neatly folded clothes that were dried and smelled of soap. I was about to leave shyly, but when I thought about how she was afraid that I would feel uncomfortable wearing the clothes, so she got up early in the morning to wash the clothes for me, I couldn't help but feel moved. I took her hand and held her in my arms. She looked at me in surprise, having never thought that I would treat her like this.

I took the initiative to leave a kiss on her lips and said, "Thank you."

She was very shy, with endless joy on her face. She nodded and said, "I am your wife. You don't need to thank me for such a small thing. Hurry up and get up, or they will really start fighting soon."

Then she covered her mouth and ran out in small steps. I smiled. If she could think of other people like this for me, maybe I would have fallen in love with her a long time ago. But after all, nothing is perfect and no one is perfect.

After putting on my clothes, I hurried downstairs and out of the house, told Bailu to prepare breakfast, then I led Sanfu, opened the gate and set out. I galloped all the way to the entrance of the city wall, and saw that all the hyena people were surrounded there. Some held spears, some held stones, and they were all very alert. I hurriedly rode forward, shouted at them to stop, and made a stop gesture with my left hand raised and my right palm overlapped to all the hyena soldiers. Then they all obeyed my order and stopped one by one, two by two, and three by two.

I clenched my fists and raised my thumbs to touch them a few times. This is the sign language that Yunwen had taught the hyena people before. Yunwen specifically explained this to me yesterday. It means "friend" in sign language.

Among those female hyenas, some were sisters of the former hyena queen Huahua, and were considered old aristocrats among the hyenas. They had been taught some sign language by Huahua herself, so they could understand the meaning at once. After translating among the hyenas, all the hyenas understood and began to withdraw from the siege, opening the iron gates of the city walls. Then those huge brown and black worker ants came into the city. I counted them one by one, and there were about thirty-five of them. Among them was one with red dots on its body, and it handed over a stone.

I saw on the stone was the reply letter Yunwen had written to me using black charcoal. I quickly took it back as if it were a treasure and read the words on it: "Zhou Bo, I'm glad you're back safely. I miss you so much that I can't sleep all night... But during the war, we must still focus on the war. Yesterday I taught these sent worker ants simple commands. Clapping means obeying orders, stamping means stopping, touching the left antennae means assigning tasks, and touching the right antennae means confirming tasks. In addition, the flying ants came back yesterday to report that the ratmen are currently in hiding and there is no trace of them. They only show signs of appearing near the castle - Yunwen's words."

After I finished reading it and looked at the beautiful notes on it, it was as if I saw her right in front of me. I couldn't help but feel worried, but she was right. In times of war, love between men and women should take second place, and the war should be the priority.

So I wiped the words on the slate with hay, then told her about what happened here yesterday and asked for her opinion, of course with some words of concern. After I finished writing, I put it in the hand of the red-spotted worker ant, and it held it up. I tried to pat its right antennae, and it immediately understood, and squeaked and left the team first to deliver the letter for me. The right antennae represent confirmation of the task, and this is the command that Yunwen specially taught them.

These ants were all waiting for orders, and now the city defense and construction needed help, so I looked at these ants, intending to use these instructions to let them help us build a solid city for us, so that we can maintain a stable geographical position and win this defense battle.
