【all you】Why fight the Embroidered Gold Tower? I want to be the Supreme of Wulin 2
Chen Zixi happily but reluctantly rejected your marriage proposal: "...No, I'm afraid Jiang Wulang will come and assassinate me at night. As for His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, you can accept the marriage proposal first and arrange the wedding later. I think you should know these things from Jiang Wulang."
You think what he said makes sense, so you immediately change your tone: "It's fine if we don't get married, but can we have a taste of it first?"
Chen Zixi:?
When you pushed him onto the bed, his expression was still extremely confused: "Who taught you to be like this? Does Jiang Wulang know?"
You smiled and undid the bun on the back of his head, letting his long, smooth black hair fall down, and patiently kissed his eyebrows and eyes: "Uncle Jiang is not in a hurry, he will naturally be the one to take the place later, and he will know when the time comes."
Chen Zixi:?
He sighed resignedly, "I've been defeated by you too. Fine, I'll wait and see how exciting Jiang Wulang's expression will be."
Chen Zixi's body smelled sweet, a refreshing, medicinal scent. You slept soundly that night.
The disciples of the Jiuliu Sect are from all walks of life and are very well-informed. They are not sure what you want to know, so they hand over a large amount of information to you the next morning, all fresh and hot.
Chen Zixi sat at his desk, reviewing your documents. A young genius, he excelled in document handling. He finished reading through them in just an hour, summarizing a few of the more important points.
"Golden Ou?" You tossed the intelligence aside nonchalantly. "Is there really such a thing? I feel like it's a hoax."
Chen Zixi nodded: "You are right. And according to the intelligence, this matter should be related to Jiuliumen, Zuihuayin, and Xiujinlou."
Nothing else matters. As soon as you hear the word Xiujinlou, you become much more energetic and sit up quickly.
"They're aggressively confiscating Tang coins right now, and the government is coming in force." Chen Zixi understood exactly what you wanted to hear, summarizing it in a few words. "If I'm not mistaken, the Jiuliu Sect simply wants to destroy the Wuyou Gang. The mastermind behind this is trying to stop the Zhao Song's southern expedition. It's the rising Dongque Master who genuinely wants to help the people. Confiscating Tang coins will only leave the people penniless. If we can exchange Tang coins for Song coins, we can revitalize the city, but it will put more pressure on Kaifeng Prefecture."
You clapped your hands in amazement, "Brother Zixi is so smart! You understood this complicated situation so quickly? You truly are worthy of being my good wife."
Chen Zixi gave you a reproachful look and continued his analysis: "But now, Zuihuayin and Jiuliumen are both in our hands."
You realized what he meant, "Is this why you wanted to marry me to Prince Jin... I understand." You sighed with deep regret, "Being the supreme master of the martial arts world isn't as easy as I thought. Does this mean I have to get married a few more times just to balance power?"
Chen Zixi was helpless. He tapped your head with his knuckles. "Are you really unhappy or just pretending? I don't know what Jiang Wulang did to cultivate a little devil like you. You get into trouble all the time, and this time you got into a big one."
You pretended not to hear.
Just then, the head of the Jiuliu Sect came in to report that Zui Huayin had sent you an invitation to a gathering of heroes hosted by Young Master Dongque. Furthermore, he had thoughtfully sent two invitations, presumably for you and Chen Zixi.
You didn't hesitate much and went to the meeting with Chen Zixi - carrying your sword and your knife at your back.
You were respectfully invited into a private room by Zuihuayin's beautiful female disciples, who told you that Master Dongque had arrived and the banquet would begin soon.
You don't really care about the so-called banquet. You just want to see with your own eyes what kind of person the Young Master Dongque is and to see the attitude of the court.
To your surprise, not long after you sat down, Master Dongque arrived, acting quite politely: "So it's you, the lady, who has come to visit. No wonder the disciples of Zuihuayin are not in the mood for conversation today."
You anticipated that this Young Master Dongque would be a truly remarkable figure, and surprisingly, he was also quite beautiful, so beautiful that it was hard to tell whether he was male or female. So, you smiled and praised him, "Young Master Dongque lives up to his reputation; he truly is a godlike figure."
Young Master Dongque smiled and said, "I have a crude face, and it's rare for a female knight to praise me. I'm ashamed to accept it."
You thought about it and felt like there was nothing to talk about, so you looked at Chen Zixi to hint.
Chen Zixi nodded—smoothly accepted. He said to Master Dongque, "Master, you are willing to present the Golden Bowl of Life. This is truly a blessing for the Song Dynasty court and for all the people."
Young Master Dongque smiled and actually sat down next to you: "I don't deserve it. It's just a small favor. It's not worth mentioning. It would be a blessing for all people if the female hero could unify the martial arts world."
You can't help but wonder if someone is setting you up - does everyone know that you want to unify the martial arts world?
As if he had guessed what you were thinking, Master Dongque shook his head at you: "Don't be surprised, lady. I was just speculating. Judging from your reaction, it turns out that my guess was correct."
It turns out he was just guessing, so you feel relieved.
"You are truly adorable, even more charming than I expected." Young Master Dongque gazed at you, his platinum hair gleaming in the light. "If there is an opportunity, I would like to work with you. I hope you will not refuse."
This was of course not a big deal, so you agreed decisively. He smiled even more broadly: "I'll remember your promise, lady." Then he said goodbye and left.
Chen Zixi looked at his back and suddenly said, "He has a deep mind, far beyond your ability to handle."
You tossed a grape into your mouth and fed him another before cheerfully answering, "But I have Brother Zixi, and I have a sword in my hand. I'm not afraid of anything."
Chen Zixi leaned over to look at you, gently smoothing the loose hair on your forehead: "Well, don't worry, I'm here, you don't have to be afraid of anything."
What happened next was like a drama. The Golden Bowl was stolen in full view of everyone. There was chaos in the venue and the knights who were fighting for it were all dumbfounded.
A figure in purple official uniform appeared in the hall and spoke in a cold tone, "Someone has reported to the authorities that the precious Shengjin Ou has been stolen. Come here - check all the suspicious persons one by one and find the whereabouts of Shengjin Ou."
Large numbers of armored soldiers surrounded the entire hall.
"The prefect of Kaifeng, Zhao Guangyi." Chen Zixi didn't even need you to ask, he took the initiative to lean over and tell you the man's identity in your ear.
You feel that Kaifeng Prefecture may have planned this in advance, or even that they may have sent people to infiltrate here a long time ago.
Several soldiers said something to Zhao Guangyi. He turned abruptly, raised his head, and met your gaze with his narrow, cold eyes. He moved his lips.
You stared at him and read his lips: Go upstairs, looking for someone.
There was a sound of footsteps coming from the direction of the stairs.
With a "bang", the door of the private room was pushed open. The soldiers who came in immediately surrounded the entire private room tightly, and two of them stood at the door.
Soon, the Kaifeng prefect, dressed in purple official robes, appeared at the door. With his hands clasped behind his back, he looked at you with a calm expression, chin slightly raised. "Are you the female knight who's been making all the fuss lately, the one who took down the Jiuliu Sect and Zuihuayin in one fell swoop?"
You calmly took another bite of grapes. "Yes, it's me. I wonder what can I do for you, Lord Prefect?"
"I have something to say to you, ladies. It's not convenient here. Please go to the government office after dark to talk." He looked at you with a light tone.
"Okay, I'll go." You nodded at him, and as you wished, you saw him flick his sleeves and leave.
The door of the private room was wide open, and the soldiers led by Zhao Guangyi went out without even remembering to close the door.
You stretched and looked back at Chen Zixi: "Then let's go back? I think Zhao Guangyi is quite angry."
Chen Zixi hesitated for a moment before saying, "...You're going to the government office tonight. Do you want me to follow you?"
"I can go by myself. It's easier to go alone." You took his hand and squeezed it. "Don't worry, I can protect myself. At least I should be fine before we kill everyone in Kaifeng Prefecture."
Chen Zixi: "...I'm not worried about that."
In the end, Chen Zixi didn't explain clearly what he was worried about. You were confused and went to the appointment on time.
When you climbed in through the window, Zhao Guangyi was indeed sitting at the desk waiting for you. When he saw you, he raised his hand without any surprise and said, "Sit down."
You hop over and sit down in front of him.
Then he said in a very strange tone, "...I already know about this marriage, but isn't it somewhat inappropriate for someone like you to be the Prince of Jin's principal wife?"
You felt he was mocking you and sneered, "Yes, I'm just a village girl. Even if I became the supreme master of the martial arts world, I'm not worthy of the precious Prince of Jin. However, I still know the importance of this marriage. I know that this marriage is for the benefit of the people and the Song Dynasty. It would be ridiculous if the dignified Prince of Jin couldn't understand this."
"You—" Zhao Guangyi almost lost his temper, but he held it back. "Well, it's all for the sake of the people and the Song Dynasty. I'm being lenient. She's just a woman. If you can marry her, I can marry her, too."
You listened to his words and found them extremely strange. You looked at him in confusion: "What is the prefect talking about? I'm marrying the Prince of Jin, not you."
Zhao Guangyi:?
He stared at you for a moment, eyes wide, before finally reacting, “Y-you don’t know who I am?”
You are baffled: "The prefect of Kaifeng, Zhao Guangyi."
Zhao Guangyi: "..." His face turned blue and then red, and finally he asked you with gritted teeth: "Lady, you don't even know the name of the Prince of Jin, the man you are about to marry?"
You are stumped by the question, you really don't know the name of King Jin.
Zhao Guangyi sneered at you, "You are quite an interesting woman. You control Zui Hua Yin and Jiu Liu Men, so you should be well-informed. But you don't even know the name of the Prince of Jin? Just ask anyone you want, even the janitor at my government office, and they will know who the Prince of Jin is."
You were a little angry, you felt that he was really provoking you, so you opened the door and waved to the guards outside: "Come in, your Lord Zhao wants to see you."
The palace guard walked in puzzled and knelt on the ground to salute: "What are your orders, Lord Prefect?"
Zhao Guangyi laughed angrily: "Okay, let me ask you, what is the name of the King of Jin?"
The guard's eyes widened in disbelief. Under Zhao Guangyi's stern gaze, he replied tremblingly, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin... his name is... Zhao Guangyi..."
you:?
Watching the palace guards flee in a flash, you looked at Zhao Guangyi expressionlessly: "Sir, you actually played tricks on me and treated my dignity like nothing. After all, I am the strongest in the martial arts world today, the most powerful in the entire map, and the king of the Kaifeng sect..."
"Who's trying to trick you?" Zhao Guangyi rolled his eyes. "Your dignity is dignity, but mine isn't? I can't afford to lose face with my proposed partner, even though I don't know him. And what are those titles you hold? I've never heard of them."
You bristled for a moment, then emphasized seriously, "I only know they call you 'Prefect,' but never 'Your Highness the Prince of Jin.' Who knew the Prefect of Kaifeng was actually the current Prince of Jin?"
Zhao Guangyi sneered: "If you have an official position, you should first call it your official position. Don't you understand this principle?"
You were too lazy to argue with this arrogant thing, so you shook your head: "I understand Zhao's official position! But I have to tell you, whether or not you become my principal wife is another matter. I can't have you as my only husband. Be prepared."
There was a crisp "bang" sound, and the teacup next to Zhao Guangyi fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
"Throwing the cup is useless." You stood up, crossed your chest, and snorted. "I know you're the prefect of Kaifeng and the current King of Jin, but I'm also the most powerful martial artist. There are so many forces I need to balance. If your brother wasn't the emperor, you wouldn't even be in the rank."
"What's the point of calling yourself the Supreme of the Martial World?" Zhao Guangyi also stood up, his face sullen as he looked at you. "What's your worth? I haven't even seen it yet, and yet you dare ask me to 'rank' you? There are plenty of people willing to be the Prince of Jin's first wife. No one is forcing you to take the position!"
You spread your hands indifferently. "The so-called 'status' of the Prince of Jin's principal wife is meaningless. After all, I still have to travel the world and can't be trapped in the prince's harem forever. If you want to marry another principal wife, that's up to you. I can also be a concubine, but this relationship can't be severed just because you want to. You know that clearly."
Zhao Guangyi stopped talking. He looked at you angrily, his chest heaving with anger.
You took a casual glance and noticed that he had quite a lot of authority, comparable to Uncle Jiang, so you touched him.
"You!" Zhao Guangyi took a step back in disbelief, instinctively protecting his chest, then quickly lowering it, his jade-white face flushed. "Can you be a little more girlish?"
“I’m not a girl, I’m the Supreme Master of the Martial World,” you insisted, correcting him before leaning in and kissing him on the lips.
Zhao Guangyi stared at you with his eyes wide open, his face as red as if blood was about to drip out, and he was completely stunned.
...He smelled quite good, different from Chen Zixi. It was a very strong incense scent, the kind that would make you dizzy for half a day if you took a deep breath.
"This is an advance payment of benefits, I guess." You sat at his desk, legs crossed, and raised an eyebrow at him with a smile. "I didn't expect His Highness the Prince of Jin to be so powerful. It's quite a treat. I'm not afraid to accept it. Your Highness the Prince of Jin, please wait for my good news—after I conquer the entire martial world, I'll discuss marriage with you in detail."
After you finished saying what you wanted to say, you flipped out the window, flew onto the roof, and flew away in a few seconds.
In the distance, you can still hear Zhao Guangyi's roar on the wind: "Damn it—are you all just decorations? Let her come and go as she pleases—"
Do you think Zhao Guangyi is overthinking it? He wants to deal with you with just his guards? At least eighty of them would be enough. After all, compared to the big goose, these guards are just a bunch of younger brothers.
