The elegant man lay on the beautiful girl, closed his eyes, and kissed her reverently.
It was as if she were his god, he was her most devout believer, and he wanted to offer himself as a sacrifice. [1]
Mu Cheng, who came in carrying a file, saw this kind of scene, and it was so beautiful he could not bear to go in to disturb them.
If it weren't for the fact that the stuff in his hand was actually extremely important, he would have chosen to withdraw.
Cough cough. He interrupted the two people, knowing that forcefully interfering would invite the marshal's wrath.
Ziju BaiLin had actually already noticed when Mu Cheng came in, but he didn't plan to pay him any attention.
Because he knew that Mu Cheng was a person who understood that if it was not a particularly important matter, he wouldn't act so inappropriately.
He reluctantly withdrew from his wife's mouth, and in passing licked the crystal liquid on her lips, very satisfied.
His wife tasted too wonderful. It made him want to swallow her into his stomach. The taste made him addicted and unwilling to stop.
When XunMi released Ziju BaiLin, she quickly got up and turned her back to Mu Cheng, patting her blushing cheeks.
Her husband really didn't pay attention to the situation. Mu Cheng was okay, but if it were someone else, she'd have no more face.
Although it seemed that she has never had any face. *falls* (╯ ‵ □ ′) ╯︵┻━┻
"Marshal, Madam, Yu Qing sent a letter. That old codger Shi YongFei really can't distinguish between good and bad, he just gets drunk on the flattery from his concubines. [2] He's not willing to take his weapons out to exchange for Shi HuaYi. He even went to the extent of saying his life or death has nothing to do with him. In addition, Yu Qing says the state of affairs over there is really strange. Shi YongFei's power and authority seems to have been eroded a lot. As it turns out, scouts from the front have sent back news. The enemies have prepared to initiate another attack; this time the main target is the Western Region."
The Western Region and its main city were actually still some distance away from their Southern Region. It was just that Li Hua Province was on the border between both places.
Mu Cheng handed the things in his hands to the marshal, and then analyzed the current situation.
"If the Western Region falls into enemy hands, it won't have a big effect on our Southern Region. It's just..."
"Just that if the Western Region falls, there would be one less team to resist against foreign enemies." XunMi unhurriedly continued his sentence as her fingers played across the documents on the table, and her face appeared to be in deep contemplation.
"Yes, that's right." Mu Cheng couldn't help sighing. Now was a time of national calamity, and the Western Region was only preoccupied with itself. Really.
Prior to this, Yu Qing had already proposed that the Western Region cooperate with them, but it was rejected.
However, the news received from the Northeastern Region was not a direct refusal, but rather they wanted to take time to consider.
In any case, this was considered promising.
XunMi crossed her legs, leaned back and folded her arms in front of her chest. Her expression was very soft, but the words she said were cold.
"Since the marshal of the Western Region is already too old to think clearly, he should abdicate in favor of the younger generation. After all, these are troubled times, and ruthless and ambitious people will want to occupy the position. How can that be a good thing? Mu Cheng, go and invite Major General Shi over. I think he will be very willing to discuss this transaction with us."
Before, she had been planning on pretending to release him in order to brush up on favorability, but now that she had a better route, why should she act so circuitously?
Not really understanding, Mu Cheng went to fetch the person. Oh, you say, Marshal ah, he's truly just a wife slave. What the madam says, goes, and his own opinion can just be completely ignored.
Ziju BaiLin waited for Mu Cheng to leave, then hugged XunMi and praised, "My wife is so clever."
Substituting one for the other was indeed the best and fastest method. Regardless of how noisy the people on their own side were, driving the intruders away was still the top priority. [3]
XunMi turned around and changed to a better position, then she quietly nestled in.
"Shi HuaYi is ambitious. I'm afraid he was already unwilling to remain just a major general. In addition, his father stays in women's rooms nine out of ten days, yet still holds authority. It would be strange if he didn't hold grudges. His mother has long had the heart but not the strength, so someone convinced her to leave the position of marshal's wife vacant. This pair of mother and son have already been forced by circumstances. As long as we provide a little encouragement, the result will certainly be very good."
She saw a lot of hidden things in the new script. In the correct script, the Female Lead also drove a wedge in the relationship between Shi HuaYi and his father, then let the two fight it out. In the end, her own husband {Ziju BaiLin} was the one to profit.
That's right! In the updated script, the Female Lead did all of this for her family's husband.
The Female Lead was a fucking big BUG. In her first life, she courted death, and was killed by Shi HuaYi.
In her second life, she unexpectedly put all the blame on Nian XunMi's head, and she used her prophetic abilities to attract the attention of Ziju BaiLin earlier on.
Then the two cooperated to seize all the forces around them and became genuine local tyrants.
They led the allied forces of the several regions, and completely drove the invaders out of the country.
At this point the story finished, and it wasn't written whether or not Ziju BaiLin married the Female Lead.
It was mentioned several times that when Ziju BaiLin's soldiers called her "Madam, " they were reprimanded by Ziju BaiLin.
XunMi thought, even when the Female Lead was reborn, she still didn't obtain her husband's heart. An indescribable sweetness again arose in her heart.
She planted a kiss on her husband's cheek, her eyebrows curved and her lips hooked up in a happy smile. A warm ray of light shone in, adding color to the two people.
Shortly thereafter, Shi HuaYi was brought in. When he saw the person on the sofa, he couldn't help saying: "Ziju BaiLin, what the hell do you want?"
He'd calmed down over the past couple days and thought a lot. Ziju BaiLin had definitely not detained him only for the spoken reason.
XunMi raised an eyebrow in amusement. The Male Lead's willpower was very good, wasn't it?
In these past two days, he hadn't faltered once, and even seemed more calm than before.
En, not bad. Working with rational people was better than joining hands with lunatics.
"Major General Shi, please sit down. Let's talk slowly." XunMi invited Shi HuaYi to sit, then signaled to Mu Cheng with her eyes. Mu Cheng promptly explained the situation in the Western Region to Shi HuaYi.
The documents on the table were handed to him without concealment, allowing him to determine for himself to whether they were true or false.
Shi HuaYi had actually guessed from the beginning that his father would never exchange weapons for him.
But knowing it is one thing, and really hearing it was quite another.
When he saw what had happened in the Western Region during his absence, his eyes grew heavy.
The Western Region had a traitor!
"What's your intention in showing me this?" Shi HuaYi put down the file, his face didn't change, but a ruthlessness appeared in his brows.
"I appreciate this temper of the Major General, that is both rational and decisive. It's actually quite simple. The Major General can also see the current situation. If you cooperate with us, it will be a matter of putting in a little effort and gaining large profits, at least for you."
Seeing that Shi HuaYi was about to open his mouth to speak, XunMi immediately extended her finger and waved it gently."Ah ah ah, Major General Shi should first finish listening to what I have to say."
Translator's Notes
[1] Don't blame me. I'm just the translator.
[2] It says they pour him mystery soup, and when I looked it up, I was sure it was going to be something nasty. But nope, just a lot of complimenting and flattery.
[3] I think by "their own people" he means their own countrymen (from the different regions).
