After sending the red-spotted worker ants out, Bai Lu came into the house not long after, followed by her two hyena people helping in the kitchen. Just like yesterday, she prepared the daily dinner for the hyena people downstairs, and then brought the food in a large iron pot up, and the two of us ate together.
After the food was served, the two female hyena kitchen helpers went out of the yard and prepared to go back to rest.
On the dining table was a silver plate of potatoes stewed with kelp, an iron basin of noodle dumpling soup, a bowl of pickles, and the leftover grilled fish from yesterday. This meal was heated up and eaten again. I had been busy since early morning and had not eaten anything, so the two meals were combined into one, which naturally tasted especially delicious. In addition, Bailu’s food was really delicious. With limited ingredients, he was able to make top-notch dishes, which was very much to my taste. I ate one bowl after another and enjoyed it very much.
Bai Lu was still looking at me with such satisfaction, and she smiled and advised me not to eat too quickly. After we were both full, she took advantage of the rare opportunity for us to talk alone to say a few words to me.
"What did Sister Yunwen say? Did she tell you to be careful of me again and to trust Hu Lingshang, right?" Bai Lu asked.
I nodded, poured some ginseng tea from the silver wine pot, took a few sips, and said, "She has always liked and admired Hu Lingshang, so it's normal for her to have such an opinion. We just need to be clear about it. Also, don't think too much. No one said to be wary of you. Don't say that Yunwen is so bad. She is kind-hearted and doesn't want to think badly of others."
Bai Lu put away her smile, her face slightly unhappy, and said: "So this means that I have a bad heart and I am an evil woman, right?"
I looked at her and couldn't help but sigh. I knew she was jealous of Yunwen. I didn't want to get angry with her and affect the internal situation. I just wanted to avoid any trouble. So I just said, "Okay, you know I don't mean that. I'm just saying something objectively. You should be able to understand this as a top student."
Bai Lu listened to my praise and then she put away her frown, moved her chair over, leaned next to me, and said, "People say that love makes women stupid. This is me now. Although I am a top student, I still need you to explain it to me seriously."
I nodded helplessly. I was exhausted and really didn't have the energy to say anything more to her. I gently touched her head and saw that she was in a better mood. I planned to go out and check on the hyenas before going back to the house to rest. But as soon as I stood up, Bai Lu pulled me to sit down again. She asked seriously, "Brother Zhou Bo, I am very happy to see you bring back those giant iron men made by Yingchun today. I am also very touched that you still remember her."
I was about to say that they were afraid that the enemy would take advantage of the opportunity to do something with it, posing a threat to us, but I thought that this would calm her down and make her feel a little happy, so why not go with the flow? So I said, "After all, it is a relic left by an old comrade. If conditions permit, we will definitely transport it back. But it takes up a lot of space, and I don't know what to do with it for the time being, so I'm a little troubled."
"I heard from Yingchun that she originally planned to use it for her daily driving, and planned to use the power of Taoism in her body to control it. But then I escaped, and I didn't know anything about the follow-up. It was not as big as this when I left, and there were only many parts. Later I saw that the finished product had become so big." Bai Lu said.
Yingchun has always been interested in mechanical and power things. When she was with her before, this little girl knew a lot about mechanical principles and made a lot of wooden gears to perform many special operations. Bailu actually said that the big iron thing was originally kept by her for use, which must mean that the thing must have value in use. If these metals are just sculptures and decorations, they must be superficial, but if they can be used, then they must have key parts such as gears, bearings, and movable elbows to be used.
From this, it seems that my judgment at that time was correct. This thing does have a certain threat. For now, I can say that I guessed right.
"In addition to the power of Dao Binding, is it possible to use other methods to make it work?" I asked.
"When we were little, I often helped Yingchun tinker with her things. In order to cater to her interests, I also read a lot of books. I can also study it tomorrow. Maybe I can crack it." Bai Lu said.
"That's great. Now is when we need help. If the big iron man can become a usable robot, we will have a powerful weapon to deal with the rat people. I'll leave it to you. In addition, there is the Zhuge Crossbow. Since you grew up with Yingchun, you should be more proficient in these things than I am. The city wall is about to be completed. If we can put it on the wall, it will also be a powerful weapon for defense." I said.
"No problem, I've seen Yingchun do all this, so she should be able to do it." Bai Lu said.
"Okay, I'll leave that to you. Now at the time of the war, we should all do our part and strive to win the best possible victory. If we can use Zhuge Crossbow and the big robot, even if Hu Lingshang rebels against us, we can deal with him to some extent and won't be in such an embarrassing situation." I said.
As I was talking, Bai Lu smiled, stood up, and walked towards me. I felt a little uneasy. She stroked my face with her fingers and said, "Brother Zhou Bo still thinks I'm important now, right?"
I was a little uneasy, and then she suddenly sat on my legs, leaning against me, full of tenderness, close to my ears, spraying Lanfang, which made my heart itchy. She said: "Don't always think about Zhang Yunwen. You have been tired all day, who relieves you? When you need special skills the most, who can settle these for you? Without me, can you win the battle with Mei Sanniang this time, and can everyone survive? All this is because I am by your side. If I leave you like Hu Lingshang and betray you, what will you do?"
"Hehe... Of course I know you are important." I immediately swallowed my saliva and my face turned red.
"You rejected me last night because you still felt that I was not important enough. Are you going to reject me again tonight?" Bai Lu's face was full of charm, and her pretty face showed endless tenderness.
My mouth suddenly became dry, but I still pushed her away and said, "What if you are pregnant during the war? Stop making a fuss. I'll go outside to see how the city wall is being built, so I can have an idea."
She didn't get annoyed. She came close to me again and whispered in my ear, "Even if you're pregnant, it will take more than a month for pregnancy symptoms to show up. Besides, have you forgotten what I did before? I'm a doctor. If I didn't want to get pregnant, how could I get pregnant?"
I was speechless for a moment, and I thought I couldn't refuse this time.
Since she is my wife, and now is a critical period, I need her to complete important commissions for me, so I cannot reject all her requests. Although I am still thinking about Yunwen in my heart, since Yunwen has promised me to manage the family with ancient methods and can accept me taking a concubine, there is no need for me to always feel indebted to her and dare not have any thoughts about Bai Lu.
Special times require special treatment. Ling Shang is right. In this place, only by implementing the kingly way can there be a possibility of survival. The foundation of the kingly way is to maintain internal stability, unity from top to bottom, and everyone's ability to obey orders. Therefore, both publicly and privately, what happened tonight is inevitable.
Fortunately, I was quicker, so I held Bailu horizontally, and she looked at me expectantly. In order to win the battle as soon as possible, take Yunwen back, and stabilize people's hearts, I held Bailu to the second floor. She took out a green thing that she had crushed with herbs and rolled into a ball from her arms, swallowed it, and then hugged me tightly. We went into the room and closed the door...
After several rounds of lovemaking, she soon fell asleep peacefully. I got dressed and went downstairs to take a look at today's results. I looked at the work on the city wall. It was very efficient and most of it had been completed. Two hyena men were standing on the city wall to keep watch. I went to the backyard and saw that the food was only increasing, which showed that the goods were selling well. I had an idea.
After that, I washed my face and went back to the house and sat on the wooden bed in the corner of the first floor. I thought of Yunwen again, and just hoped that everything would go well and that I could bring her back earlier so that we could be reunited soon.
Just at this moment, I suddenly heard a strange rustling sound outside the door, and it was the sound of mice, which I am most sensitive and afraid of now.
