Chapter 105: Sending Troops into the Pass (I) Update
Inside the room, after Liu Ziye closed the door, he took off his outer coat again.
He turned to Jin Jie and said, "Take off all your wet clothes. The bathroom is inside. Go wash yourself."
The current Marquis's residence had long been renovated to resemble a modern villa of later times. Aside from the lack of electricity, it had every necessary amenity. A coal-fired blast furnace provided constant hot water, complete plumbing for water and drainage, and a bathroom with a shower, bathtub, and toilet. Daily life was virtually identical to that of modern people.
Therefore, except for the people sent by the housekeeper to clean up during the day, she is completely independent at other times and does not need anyone to watch over her and serve her.
Of course, Jin Jie was no stranger to her lifestyle.
After hearing this, she paused for a moment, then quickly took off her outer clothes and went to the bathroom.
In the darkness, the sound of water could be heard faintly.
Liu Ziye sat at the desk in the inner room, slowly drinking a pot of hot tea.
First, Liu Jian, the culprit responsible for the fall of the Second Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was crucial to her survival and the completion of her system mission. She was determined to remove him from the throne, no matter what. On this point, she could be said to be in agreement with Liu Ziling for the time being.
However, if Liu Ziling was in this world line, unlike the original world line where he was defeated and died, he would have won the duel with Liu Jian.
Instead, it posed a question and challenge to her, Liu Ziye.
Liu Ziling was obviously different from the tyrant Liu Jian. Under his rule, the fate of the Zhou Dynasty might have taken a completely different turn.
The Great Zhou will not perish in the second generation, and will not fall into disintegration and war again.
The system gave her the task of becoming the greatest emperor of all time on this continent. One of the important starting points was to change the situation where the Great Zhou Dynasty ended in the second generation, the Central Plains was once again divided and in chaos, and the descendants of the Holy Ancestor were slaughtered one by one.
If Liu Ziling comes to power, this situation can be changed...
Even if Liu Ziye had the Imperial Edict in her hands, from the perspective of the Great Zhou Dynasty and its people, her raising of an army and her direct challenge to Liu Ziling for the throne would not only add another variable to the already stable situation...
Is it really necessary?
While I was thinking about it, Jin Jie walked in after washing up and changing into the long robe prepared in the bathroom.
Liu Ziye raised his head from the desk.
Even the dark autumn cotton robe was not heavy at all, wrapping the body snugly. It was indeed a completely different look from the usual heavy military uniform or armor.
Liu Ziye suddenly felt a little regretful.
How could she have endured it until today?
A slight sense of suffocation came over her, she let out a light breath, put down the teacup in her hand and stood up.
Because of the injustice in my heart, the teacup made a louder than usual clinking sound when it fell on the table.
"Ding Dong" sound.
In the silent inner room, the sound clearly penetrated the eardrums of both people.
Liu Ziye, who was originally planning to go straight to Jin Jie, couldn't help but pause.
Jin Jie's eyes swept across the tea table, not knowing the cause of Liu Ziye's annoyance, but he took the initiative to walk towards her. From the moment Liu Ziye brought him into the room, he knew that since that day six and a half years ago when the starlight and moonlight in the wilderness had been waiting for him, he had finally welcomed his moonlight.
Liu Ziye did not have such strict distinctions between men and women in his mind, especially since he came from the grassland.
The harmony of music and dance is the most common nature bestowed upon human beings by nature.
Liu Ziye came back to her senses and walked over to catch the person opposite her. She didn't know how many times she had found comfort in this person's arms and chest.
For the first time today, she stretched out her arms, leaned over and hugged the man's waist tightly.
Sure enough, just as she thought, it felt amazing!
With a very satisfied smile, she raised her head and looked at Jin Jie who had evolved into an extremely handsome version right next to her.
"Well, come to think of it, I must have had feelings for you a long time ago. I really regret not taking action sooner!"
Originally, she planned to formally clarify the relationship between the two after Jin Jie came back after reorganizing the team, and she didn't want to do it right away.
But at that moment, he subconsciously pulled the person into his room.
Since they have already come and taken a shower, wouldn’t it be a waste of their limited time if they continue to be pretentious?
When Jin Jie heard him say this, he actually laughed out loud, which was rare for him.
The glass gas lamp in the room shone on his broad and sparse eyebrows, and his dark eyes were like a candlelight lit in the dark void.
The exposed wheat-colored skin on the neck and chest was slightly shiny, as if it had been touched by honey.
He stopped laughing and replied calmly, "I knew that a long time ago."
Liu Ziye was so attracted by him that he couldn't help but put his hands into his robe, rubbing his palms against the flesh of his back.
But he said, "Then you still act like you don't even notice it!"
Jin Jie's whole body was extremely tense, and it was unbearable to endure it for a while. Liu Ziye not only rubbed everywhere, but also from time to time he couldn't let go and scratched the muscles on his waist, abdomen and back, although each time because the muscles were too tense, he couldn't really grab a handful of flesh.
But the feeling of nails scraping against his skin with force from time to time still made him lose his breath.
Jin Jie grabbed her hand from behind and pressed it down on her chest temporarily. He finally calmed down and took a few breaths.
Then he replied to her: "I am the subordinate of the young marquis. If the young marquis has no interest in me, or if the young marquis does not want to break the window paper."
The light in his eyes grew darker, and his voice became a little unsteady: "I'm not good for taking the initiative to offend my superiors."
After hearing this, Liu Ziye burst out laughing.
"Then from now on, I allow you to commit a crime against your superiors."
The second day.
Although Liu Ziye hardly slept yesterday, her biological clock kept working on her and she couldn't lie down at the end of the morning hour.
Jin Jie was in a similar situation, so he simply washed up again and asked his private guard to let someone in to set breakfast as usual.
The door opened.
Xiying, who was supposed to be replaced and rested after guarding the room all night, walked over with two big black panda eyes.
"Young Marquis, do you want to set the table?"
Liu Ziye looked at him and couldn't help but tap his dark eye bags. "This isn't your first time working the night shift. How did you get yourself into this state? Go back and rest! Don't work the night shift for the next few days."
Xiying pursed her lips slightly.
Then he looked at Jin Jie, who was calm and composed. After only one night, he walked out of the inner room of the bedroom with an extremely natural look, as if he was living with the young marquis!
Xiying couldn't help but feel angry. He was really suffering from this! !
However, at this point, he knew he shouldn't say anything more. This was the young marquis's decision, so he should respect and protect it.
He bowed his head in obedience and said, "Yes, young marquis. Xiying will go down first."
As soon as Xiying left the yard, Liu Biao personally brought people to deliver breakfast.
Seeing Xiying looking dejected, he also said a few words to show his concern for him.
"Okay, Uncle Liu." Xiying also agreed obediently.
I thought to myself, Uncle Liu, when you go there later and see that the young marquis has restored the status of Jin Jie, who has had evil intentions for many years, overnight, you must keep calm!
What he didn't expect was that when Liu Biao saw Jin Jie walking out of Liu Ziye's room in casual clothes and having breakfast at the same table with Liu Ziye.
But he just held Jin Jie sincerely and sighed repeatedly: "Good, good, good, good!"
Their little marquis is almost twenty-two this year! He has been disguised as a boy since he was young, and has been plagued by one unfortunate thing after another. The lover and marriage that an ordinary girl should have had long ago, their little marquis has yet to have the happy ending he wanted.
He was just a servant and couldn't take charge of such things on his own. He was so anxious that he almost went up to the room!
Who cares about whether it's in accordance with etiquette? He had heard many stories of noble families entering the house first before getting married.
Anyway, no one can say that their young marquis is a bad guy!
It was a breakfast that was familiar yet a little fresh.
The food he ate was what he was used to eating all year round, and the people who accompanied him were also the same people who had been with him for many years, but Liu Ziye could suddenly taste the flavor of a new life while eating it.
She and Jin Jie did not have any breakthrough in their relationship, but during this meal, they were intimate with each other, picking up food from each other.
Today's breakfast was what she had instructed Uncle Liu to make in detail, including fried dough sticks, scallion pancakes, gluten and black fungus spicy soup, garlic pickled cucumbers, and refreshing fruit milk.
What he said was the same as usual.
Jin Jie came back suddenly last night, and only now have I started to pick up some important progress on the reorganization of Liu Ziyan's army and talk about it.
Liu Ziye asked him, "Didn't the army encounter any major resistance when it was dismantling and reorganizing?"
Jin Jie replied, "Some individual commanders have raised objections and want us to retain their old troops and ranks. This was expected and has been dealt with. This army may appear large in number, but each division has its own ideas and is truly a loose mess. There were some minor setbacks in the initial reorganization, but since they are so inexperienced, they must abide by our rules. If you want to talk, wait until you have trained yourself."
When Liu Ziye heard this, even though he was eating fried dough sticks, he still smiled and nodded in agreement.
Jin Ji was efficient and clean in organizing and leading the army and dealing with those disobedient soldiers and generals.
She was not worried about what Liu Ziyan, the shrewd general, and his group of shrewd soldiers could do to Jin Jie.
The two talked for a while about the arrangement of the army that had grown to hundreds of thousands in a few years. Once the troops here were settled, her Xiguan army would definitely leave Xiguan just like the food and other special and practical goods that had left Xiguan earlier.
She officially began to confiscate the forces from all over the Great Zhou that were entering the city.
After Liu Ziye finished his portion and rinsed his hands, he pulled him aside and said, "Let's go see Brother Fu's..."
He was halfway through his words when Liu Ziye suddenly cut him off.
Because, at this moment, a system prompt suddenly popped up in her mind -
"Ding! The Emperor Cultivation System's counterpart group has been detected offline!"
"After system evaluation, there are no longer any competitive entities in the current world line that can serve as the host's benchmark group! The system's point accumulation speed will be directly determined by the host's achievements!"
"Congratulations, host. Your mission is progressing very smoothly. Please keep up the good work!"
Liu Ziye stopped and held Jin Jie's hand with one hand.
The content broadcast by the system was obviously extremely good news for Liu Ziye.
But for some reason, she couldn't be happy at all, and a layer of frost covered her face.
Jin Jie turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Liu Ziye raised his head and said, "Crown Prince Liu Ziling is probably dead."
After hearing this, it was hard for Jin Jie not to be shocked.
"The prince was defeated? Liu Jian killed him."
He was already familiar with the confrontation between the prince and Liu Jian, so it was not particularly surprising that one side was eventually defeated.
He was also shocked by why Liu Ziye suddenly said this news so confidently when there was no other news.
Liu Ziye's mood was greatly affected.
She has always had a genuine dislike for Liu Jian, but she still has a tolerance for Liu Ziling.
Just last night, she had imagined a situation where Liu Ziling would win.
Unexpectedly, Liu Ziling was defeated in the end.
She said, "This time, Liu Jian has won. But he killed his son for his father, and the one he killed was the current crown prince, whose influence and reputation in the court and among the people cannot be underestimated. Life will not be easy for him."
"good."
Jin Jie looked at Liu Ziye and said, "If you want to march into the pass immediately, I will go and organize the army today."
Liu Ziye calmed down his initial shock and asked, "The terrain and roads inside the Great Wall are very different from those in the West Wall. Chariots are powerful, but they are difficult to maneuver. Bringing ten of them would be enough to create a deterrent. The cavalry, crossbow battalions, artillery battalions, and armored ground forces of the 'Iron Armor Thunder' force total hundreds of thousands. How long will it take you to assemble them?"
Jin Jie pondered for a moment and said, "Three days will be enough."
"Okay! Then three days later, I'll wait for you at the marching avenue at the east gate of Yucheng."
