Miantang was not aware of the strong waves that had stirred up in the heart of Zhennan Marquis, and it was not suitable to stay here for a long time. Therefore, she instructed the four loyal brothers to take the rescued women and children down the mountain as soon as possible.
At this moment, the sky was about to light up. Before going down the mountain, Miantang instructed all the brothers to chop off the heads of the Japanese people and lift them onto long poles to stand at the top of the mountain.
This was the place where the Japanese people like to stay when they go ashore for robbery, so when other Japanese people come to search, they can naturally see the heads of their accomplices.
Those who dare to invade the people of the Great Yan Dynasty will be killed without mercy!
This was what Miantang wanted to convey to the Japanese.
After descending the mountain, Liu Miantang had a heartfelt conversation with Zhao Quan, saying that the kindness of saving lives should be returned forever.
However, since the Cui and Zhao families are aristocratic families, she doesn’t need Marquis Zhao to return the favor.
But one thing was that he should pretend to unsee her actions of chopping off the Japanese Leader’s head on the mountain, let alone make a mistake in front of Cui Xingzhou, which destroyed their deep marital relationship.
Marquis Zhao squatted on a stone mound in the grass, nodding incessantly, indicating that he would keep his mouth shut.
As the group waited to descend the mountain, the elite soldiers led by Fan Hu also arrived.
Fan Hu and others followed the signs all the way to find Liu Miantang, only to find her covered in blood. It was a shock, but looking at her energetic appearance, it seemed that she was not injured.
After Fan Hu personally went up the mountain to inspect, he came down with a strange expression, but he wisely did not ask which head was personally cut off by the princess consort.
By the time they returned to their homestead, it was already dawn.
Miantang was afraid of scaring her sister Cui Fu, so she casually found a farmhouse outside and had someone boil water to wash her head and face before changing her clothes and returning to the mansion.
After a brief rest, she calms and welcomed Lord Zhao. Originally, Miantang thought that Marquis Zhao had been tired all the way coming from wandering mountains and rivers. If he were to work as a laborer in the medical shed, it would take some effort.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she mentioned it briefly, Zhao Quan immediately agreed honestly, without any hesitation or reluctance.
Servant Li cooked the food meticulously, creating a unique North Sea cuisine that was truly captivating.
Unfortunately, Marquis Zhao seemed to be no longer talkative as before and was very quiet. After only a few bites, he hastily bid farewell to Liu Miantang and Cui Fu.
Servant Li privately praised Miantang for her steadiness and said, “The Old Lady of the Marquis Mansion can finally rest assured. The Marquis has finally taken on some form. He used to have an unserious tone with you, and it makes people shake their heads.”
Miantang gestured at the innerwear cut for the prince and smiled, saying, “Marquis Zhao has grown a few years older, naturally becoming more stable.”
The reticence and composure of Marquis Zhao Quan continued until his friend Prince Huaiyang returned from the sea.
Cui Xingzhou didn’t hear about the disaster his friend had encountered until he landed. He asked the soldiers who had received him that day, and when he heard that Japanese corpses were scattered on the mountain that day, he asked about the process.
But the soldiers replied that when they arrived that day, the ground was already covered with corpses, and the specific process would only be known by asking the princess consort or the escorts of the escort agency.
After Cui Xingzhou returned, he asked Miantang. Miantang blinked her eyes and said, “It’s all Lu Zhong and Lu Yi who are incredibly brave. I’m just hiding and watching. You know my wrist is weak, and I can’t exert much strength.”
Cui Xingzhou reached out and looked at her wrist and said, “Didn’t you connect your tendons? Why are you still feeling weak?”
Miantang leaned into his arms and said, “Doing too much needlework hurts.”
Cui Xingzhou looked at the half-sewn clothes in the sewing basket and said, “Don’t sew them for me in the future. Tell the maids to do it… I heard that Lu Zhong and his team saved Zhao Quan a few days ago… But I don’t understand one thing. They only went with a dozen people, how did they massacre and kill more than forty Japanese people unharmed?”
Miantang blinked and said, “Maybe those forty or so are not considered mainstream. I think Lu Zhong and his team can kill easily.”
The Mayor of Huaisang County may not know that when she tells lies with her eyes wide open, she always wears a particularly bright smile on the corner of her mouth. Just like now, sweet and charming.
However, Cui Xingzhou did not inquire deeply, but instead turned around to find Zhao Quan to drink and catch the breeze.
As soon as Zhao Quan arrived in the North Sea, he went to the medical clinic from morning to night, feeling as tired as a grandson every day. Occasionally sitting alone in the courtyard at night, gazing at the sunset on the horizon, he couldn’t recall for a moment how he had been coming to the North Sea.
Upon seeing the return of his close friend Prince Huaiyang, Zhao Quan’s mood fluctuated for a moment, as if he had a thousand words to say, but when the words rushed to his lips, he couldn’t express them.
Cui Xingzhou did not inquire deeply, but only allowed Mo Ru to bring his long-cherished Northwest liquor to drink with his close friends.
After three large bowls of wine are poured into one’s stomach, it strengthens one’s courage. The steadiness that Zhao Quan had accumulated in the past few days disappeared completely, and he almost burst into tears in the arms of Cui Xingzhou. He only recounted the experience of the night in danger one by one.
In the beginning, Cui Xingzhou listened calmly. When he heard that Liu Miantang had only entered the tent of the Japanese leader in her inner garment, his face turned black and green, and he only tilted his neck and drank a bowl of strong liquor.
However, Marquis Zhennan was still immersed in his own thoughts, tears streaming down his face as he said, “The county lord used to be such a gentle and virtuous jade person, but since she followed you, those who were close to you turned bad, and she even killed people without blinking an eye. That leader’s head, she chops it so easily, which scared me to death.”
Cui Xingzhou said with a gloomy face, “She’s a bandit before named Lu Wen! There’s nothing she can’t do.”
Zhao Quan blinked his eyes. He had been in the State of Zhen all along. Although he heard some rumors that Liu Miantang was a bandit, he only thought it was because she had been living in the Mountain of Yang and was known by others, but he didn’t know Liu Miantang’s true identity.
Now, hearing Cui Xingzhou speak conclusively, the Marquis let out a hiccup of alcohol and immediately woke up.
“She… She… She is Luwen from the Mountain of Yang?”
Cui Xingzhou was too lazy to speak anymore, so he stood up and prepared to go home to interrogate the bandit!
Zhao Quan realized later that his mouth was wide as if he leaked something. He only shouted from behind, “Ninth Master! Don’t ever tell your princess consort that I said it! Don’t pull me down for your fight! I… I’m going back to the State of Zhen tomorrow.”
Cui Xingzhou walked back, with smoke rising faintly above his head.
He knew she was bold and had a good idea, but he never expected her to be so bold!
Following a group of ronins, she staged a beauty trick and went deep into the enemy’s camp. Fortunately, she could think of it!
If she were to be spared this time, she might even do something to pierce the heavens in the future!
When he returned to the mansion, Cui Xingzhou couldn’t wait, he slammed the door with a bang. He also felt annoyed that the gatehouse was too slow to open, so he just put out his foot and kicked the door open with a bang.
Cui Fu was enjoying the shade with Miantang under the banyan tree in the yard, only laying a large mat for Xiaoyi’er to play with his cousin Jin’er.
Servant Li also made sugar water for them that had been chilled with well water. As the two of them were chatting, they heard the sound of the prince kicking the door. Immediately after, they watched Cui Xingzhou walk in with an ironclad face.
Cui Fu angrily said, “What kind of filth did you get out of here? Did you come back to vent your anger on us and learned to kick the door? You’re really getting worse, and I don’t know when our residence has such a tutor.”
However, Liu Miantang watched Cui Xingzhou’s never-before ironclad face on the side, feeling guilty and suspicious that Marquis Zhennan had not kept his mouth shut and leaked something.
Cui Xingzhou didn’t pay any attention to his sister’s words at all. He only went up and grabbed Miantang, dragged her into his courtyard, instructed the servant to watch the door, and only interrogate Liu Miantang alone.
When there were only the both of them, Cui Xingzhou sat down on a chair with deep eyes fixed, holding back his anger, and said, “I’ll give you another chance to talk about what you did that night.”
Liu Miantang cautiously walked to the table, poured a cup of tea for Cui Xingzhou, and respectfully handed it over, she said, “Actually, I haven’t done anything. You don’t know how hateful those Japanese people are, Your Highness. They not only plundered and insulted many women, but also so many children… How can I just sit idly by and let it go? Women have great reputations, and if I wait for Fan Hu to bring people here, wouldn’t I ruin the prospects of those women in vain, so I made some small plans and infiltrated the enemy camp.”
Cui Xingzhou was about to be taken lightly by her and became furious. His voice was deep, with a hint of calm before the storm, and he said, “Oh, then just tell me how did you get into the tent of the Japanese leader?”
Miantang was now convinced that Zhao Quan had leaked the situation, and she really wanted to hang the marquis back in the cage again. She only muttered, “Actually, there’s nothing new, and they haven’t touched me.”
Cui Xingzhou patted the table fiercely and said, “If you remember that you have already married me, you should not take risks with your own body! I have never heard of a princess consort from a royal residence who jumped onto a pole and voluntarily infiltrated a thief’s den! You also know that women’s reputations are one of the most important matters.”
Miantang felt guilty and lowered her head, saying, “I was wrong.”
Cui Xingzhou looked at her low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, suppressed his anger, and said, “Besides what you said, where are you wrong?”
Miantang said, “The biggest mistake is not to scrutinize morality and righteousness, leaving a living life behind.”
Zhao Quan’s mouth was really big! She saved him without any gratitude and sold her as soon as she turned around.
If he were to wander in the Jianghu, Marquis Zhao would be an unscrupulous person who will be chopped up and feed fish.
Cui Xingzhou was really angry. Was she going to kill Zhao Quan? She was even more arrogant than when she was on the Mountain of Yang!
He was too lazy to listen to her nonsense anymore. He threw Miantang onto the bed and angrily said, “Tell me! Where did they all touch you?”
Miantang was not afraid of him at all, only smiled at him and said, “I can’t remember. Why don’t you touch them one by one and I’ll tell you again?”
She had a cunning expression and a hint of innocence on her face. Cui Xingzhou’s heart and lungs were about to explode with anger, and he laughed back angrily, “Sure! Then I’ll judge you well. You have to endure it.”
Liu Miantang tugged at the collar of his neck, blinked her eyes, and whispered, “Whoever asks for mercy first is a dog.”
