Cui Xingzhou has been asking himself about suppressing bandits for so many years, but he has never encountered such a blatant provocation in front of him.
If he doesn’t act up today, won’t he be looked down upon by others?
For a moment, Miantang’s delicate voice came from the veil, “You haven’t been back for a few days. I missed you so much, but as soon as you come back, you’re scolding me… Ah, why are you biting me again?”
Next, there was a constant stream of laughter and broken sounds.
Speaking of Cui Fu, she saw his younger brother angrily kicking the door of the house and dragging Miantang away, also worried. She had a desire to go over and argue, but unfortunately, Xingzhou had someone guarding the door, which prevented her from coming forward.
In the evening, neither Xingzhou nor Miantang came out to eat.
At this moment, Li Guangcai also returned from the military camp, so he simply set up a table in his small courtyard and had a meal with the three of his family.
Cui Fu picked the dishes for Li Guangcai and said, “Why did Xingzhou get so angry? He… Can’t be hitting Miantang, right?”
When Li Guangcai just returned, he also saw the door that had been kicked out, and several servants were trembling with fear there.
He had some knowledge of the secret. Although he didn’t know the details of Miantang’s beauty scheme, seeing the prince’s anger, it was probably because the bandit leader had itchy hands again. When rescuing Marquis Zhao, it must be that she did something that didn’t match the identity of a princess consort.
However, when Cui Fu was worried about Miantang being beaten, Lord Li felt that his wife had thought too much. He only said gently, “The prince is not that kind of person and your sister-in-law… Is not someone who can withstand being beaten. Isn’t there no sound of kicking dishes and smashing bowls in the yard? It shouldn’t be a big deal. It’s rare for the evening breeze to be comfortable today. You should eat more. It’s only been a short time since you came to the North Sea, and you’ve lost a pound.”
Speaking of this, he said to Jin’er again, “Jin’er, you should eat less and save some for your stomach. This time I went to sea, and ordered someone to catch a cage of sea crabs for you. The stove is boiling water and steaming now, and your mother has been cold these days and cannot eat. It will be all yours soon.”
Jin’er loves eating crabs very much. Upon hearing this, his eyes sparkled and he immediately stopped eating, only stretching his neck to wait for the crabs.
Cui Fu’s face turned red upon hearing this. These days, it happened to be her menstruation cycle, so she couldn’t eat too much cold food. It was difficult for him, a big man to even remember this.
Sometimes marriage was like water, knowing the warmth and coldness of oneself. It was because of her second marriage that she knows the comparison. When a man was full of someone, he will remember even tiny changes of his loved ones.
When she first came to the North Sea, there was a hint of regret for not adapting to the bad environment. After being in bed with Li Guangcai, who was considerate of her everywhere. Even the hardships of eating in those houses could taste a hint of sweetness.
Now Cui Fu finally understood why Miantang had come to the North Sea and looked at the ruins of the courtyard, but could face it calmly.
Living together with someone who truly loves and can support each other, life was generally not going to get too bad.
Thinking of this, she felt a little relieved, feeling that there shouldn’t be any major trouble in her brother’s yard.
Besides Miantang, she really has some doubts about whether the water and soil in the North Sea are nurturing men. Why does her husband seem to be more and more vigorous?
At the end of that night, it was she who was physically exhausted and cried out that she was a little dog, begging the prince to spare her.
Cui Xingzhou sweated profusely and pinched her cheek, saying, “If I spare you this time, you might wear a thin shirt next time to seduce enemies with hot dancing! Tomorrow, write me a thousand-word forgiveness letter and think carefully about how to become a virtuous and elegant princess consort.”
Miantang was so tired that her soul went out of her seven orifices. Before the prince finish speaking, she tilted her neck and fell asleep.
On the second day, Cui Xingzhou was about to leave, but Miantang had not yet woken up. Cui Xingzhou pushed Miantang and said, “Didn’t you say you want to put up my bun every day? Why don’t you wake up now?”
Miantang revealed a sorrowful eye in the crevice of the bed, “Today I’m going to start writing a big article, and I can’t help you. You go quickly, don’t disturb my sleep.”
Cui Xingzhou raised his eyebrows and looked at the resentful mass under the blanket, feeling genuine that a thousand words of homework were not enough.
Besides, Cui Fu kept thinking about Miantang until almost noon when she saw her helplessly supporting her waist and picking flowers with Xiaoyi’er in the yard.
Cui Fu quickly went over to help her and asked, “What’s wrong with this? Why can’t you straighten up.”
Miantang quickly smiled and said, “The bedboard is a bit hard, and I feel a little back pain sleeping… I’ll just go to Marquis Zhao’s place to grab some painkillers later.”
Cui Fu felt a little relieved after hearing this and said, “My mother’s letter has arrived. She asked how is Xiaoyi’er now. You don’t have to go out later. You should reply to my mother’s letter with me at home and ask Zhao Quan to come to the mansion for dinner tonight. By then, just ask him to write a prescription.”
Upon hearing that she still had to write, Miantang felt as if her tendons had been adjusted to one side again, unable to accumulate any energy at all.
Remembering the ungrateful Marquis Zhennan, Miantang’s mouth slightly curled up.
When Cui Fu finished speaking, she noticed that her younger siblings seemed to have a slight lack of laughter, which made her heart tremble.
However, Miantang’s mouth was soft, “I’m afraid the Marquis will be polite to us, so I’ll go and invite him personally.”
Besides Zhao Quan, once homesickness arises, it cannot be suppressed, as the maid and newly hired servants are being asked to pack up. He saw Liu Miantang in a hunting outfit, carrying a leather whip and entering.
Zhao Quan couldn’t help but pause at the sight of Liu Miantang and greeted the princess consort if she had eaten already.
Liu Miantang looked at the box on the ground and asked, “Why are you leaving when you just come, Maquis Zhao? Have all the patients in the medical shed been treated?”
Zhao Quan shrank by the door frame and said, “My mother is not feeling well, and since she has recently arranged a marriage for me, I always have to go back early to get married and celebrate.”
Miantang nodded and took the teacup handed over by the maid, saying, “Saving a person’s life is better than building a level seven floating butcher. If Marquis Zhao truly accumulates virtue for the old lady of the Marquis’s residence, joy may not be enough. If you heal the people of the North Sea, you can be considered as accumulating virtue and benefiting the old lady of the marquis’s residence.”
Zhao Quan stays in the medical shed every day and cannot rest until sunset. It was enough! Upon hearing Miantang’s words, he quickly waved his hand and said, “There are also several good doctors in the prince’s military camp. I don’t think something big would happen without me.”
Miantang deliberately leaned forward and said, “I’ve been studying divination recently and I know a little. In my opinion, you should stay here. Otherwise, on the way back, there will be bandits who hold a grudge against you and ambush you again. If you are kidnapped again and no one can save you, wouldn’t it be like hanging your head on the mountaintop?”
Zhao Quan said dryly, “I will naturally take the main road this time. Besides… What enemies do I have as an idle person?”
Bicao on the side answered, “Marquis, you talk so much normally. Don’t you know what should you say and what shouldn’t you say? A few glasses of wine make you say it all. I’m afraid you will offend people without realizing it. Don’t you think so?”
Zhao Quan knew that he had been blackmailed by the remaining evils of the Mountain of Yang. However, Prince Huaiyang, who used to suppress bandits, was now sleeping obediently with the female thief, which was really unreliable.
“So… When will I stay till for medical treatment?” He said with tears in his eyes.
Miantang saw that he had taken the path and slowly stood up on her waist, saying, “Wait until the person you offended subsides her anger.”
Not to mention that Zhao Quan stayed behind painstakingly to do volunteer work.
Moreover, more than ten days later, there was a huge uproar on Kou Island in the East Sea.
In the past, the Japanese people who went out to sea on the pirate island on the mainland returned in at most three days. After all, what they are doing was a surprise attack, and they cannot be in a prolonged battle.
But this time, the small leader Hayaka Kotobuki led the people out to sea for many days and didn’t come back, there was no news.
When the person below reported to Takatsukasa, his brow furrowed and his intuition was not right.
Even if Hayaka Kotobuki did not plunder any property, he would at least send someone back to spread some news, so as not to have any accidents and no one to support him. So he sent several capable Japanese people across the sea to find Hayaka Kotobuki.
These Japanese people landed and crossed the mountains to the peak where Hayaka Kotobuki had settled. However, when they climbed up, they saw the heads of Japanese people all over the mountain, hanging high on long poles. Due to the hot and dry weather, maggots had already grown, which was very terrifying.
A few Japanese people only glanced roughly and saw the heads of Hayaka Kotobuki and several important Japanese people under him. They didn’t dare to look closely, but by looking at the long poles densely covered with mountains, they knew that Hayaka Kotobuki’s subordinates were probably annihilated.
They were also afraid that the North Sea would leave an army here, so they hurriedly turned and ran back.
Not far away, he suddenly heard a Japanese man shouting, “Your Excellency, thank goodness, are you here to save me?” They stopped and followed the sound. They saw a Japanese man coming out of a dense grassy area in the distance, running towards them.
When the Japanese came over, they quickly asked what had happened and how many people were besieging them that Hayaka Kotobuki and the other Japanese did not escape.
The Japanese man said with lingering fear, “Your Excellency, it started very smoothly. Leader Hayaka Kotobuki led us to rob several villages, catch many beautiful women, and even catch a fat sheep. That night, leader Hayaka Kotobuki was very happy and set up a banquet for those women to pour wine to cheer up. At the banquet, we unexpectedly found a very beautiful woman.”
Speaking of this, he paused, as if recalling the woman’s face. Originally such a beautiful woman, now he felt as if he had remembered some kind of demon.
“We took the woman to the tent of the leader. Then I got a little drunk and fell asleep while taking a nap in the forest. Later, I was awakened by the screams of the leader, and when I came out, I happened to see that beautiful woman chopping off the head of the leader. Most of us were drunk, and a dozen people rushed in outside. That’s all… They cut everyone’s heads, then hung them on a long pole, and then they took those women and the money we snatch away. In the past few days, there have been people patrolling back and forth at the foot of the mountain, but it has only recently become less crowded. I haven’t dared to stay away. I can only eat some wild vegetables every day to make ends meet, waiting here for you.”
Several Japanese people looked at each other. They originally thought it was a large team sent by the North Sea, and after a major war, they had already lost their entire army. However, they didn’t expect that the enemy would only be a beautiful woman and a dozen people, and most of them would lose their heads in confusion.
So, they took the only remaining Japanese along the way to the seaside and took a small boat back to the island to report to Takatsukasa.
