Mulan hadn't slept for days. She was recruiting soldiers every day.
She had to do everything herself. She had to select the most elite soldiers from the civilian army and incorporate them into the private army.
She also had to personally hand over the silver to the families of every recruit.
This was the tradition of the Kim family.
If others had to do such things for her, then after a few decades or a hundred years, others wouldn't mind taking over her power as the master.
In the past, Mulan didn't care about not sleeping for days at all.
But now she was very concerned about whether she should take out a mirror and look at her face.
Her skin wouldn't darken. She wouldn't get pimples, would she?
And when no one was around, she would put a facial mask on herself.
She had to be beautiful. She had to be beautiful.
Otherwise, Husband would despise her.
Not only that, even when she was outside, she insisted on taking two showers a day.
If there was no hot water, she would take a cold shower.
It wasn't comfortable to take a cold shower in winter.
But there was no other way.
She couldn't be despised by the scumbag, even though she was far away from him.
But what if the scumbag was interested in seeing her?
I can't have the slightest smell of sweat on my body, and I can't have the slightest bit of dirt on my face.
Even her hair had to be washed once a day.
Her clothes had to be changed once a day. Even if she couldn't sleep, she had to drink honey with essential oil from flowers to ensure that her mouth was sweet and fragrant all the time.
What if the scumbag Husband came to see her and wanted to kiss her? She couldn't be the least bit unbeautiful.
The surrounding female warriors all clicked their tongues in wonder.
The young lady didn't sleep for days, but she was still so beautiful. Her face was a little haggard, but it didn't hurt her beauty at all. She was still gorgeous.
Moreover, her body was fragrant all the time.
The female warriors beside her certainly knew the reason, but they were still surprised.
Was the power of love so great?
In fact, it was nothing for Mulan not to sleep. The only thing that was hard to bear was lovesickness.
In the past few months, she had been with the scumbag Husband almost every day.
It was really uncomfortable to be suddenly separated for a few days.
One day apart seemed like three years. That was what it meant.
There were several times when Mulan wanted to go home.
Even if he didn't do anything, just a look, a hug, and a kiss would be enough.
Then, she ran a hundred miles back to the army camp.
She had almost done that, but in the end, she had to think of the bigger picture.
Time was running out.
The recruitment must be completed in the shortest time possible, and then most of the main forces must be transferred to Wangya Island.
The Golden Island strategy had already begun, and the situation was changing rapidly. They couldn't afford to delay at all.
After running around for three days and three nights, Mulan went to every village in her fief and recruited two thousand strong men into her private army. She also recruited a group of strong men from every village into the civilian army.
In these three days and three nights, thousands of armors and weapons were distributed, and nearly ten thousand gold coins were distributed.
Because the Kim family had forged a new batch of armor, the original old armor and weapons were discarded and given to this batch of recruits to use.
This batch of armor and weapons were relatively new. Regardless of whether the quality was good enough, at least they looked good enough to wear.
The two thousand fully armed new soldiers began to assemble, and then, under the leadership of Jin Shiying, they went to the Xuan Wu Mansion castle.
Among them, one thousand would stay in the fief, and the other one thousand would go to Wangya Island.
At this time, Mulan couldn't bear it anymore. She rode alone and quickly returned home.
In fact, she didn't want anything. She just needed a hug and a kiss from the scumbag Husband, and she would be completely satisfied.
Then, she took a bath and changed clothes, lying on her Husband's bed, and had a good sleep. It would be best if the scumbag Husband stayed by her side. He would reach out to take advantage of her, but he couldn't take advantage of her too much, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to sleep.
She didn't know why, the closer she got to her home, the more Mulan's eyelids twitched inexplicably.
As soon as her horse rushed into the castle gate, she jumped down and ran toward her yard.
However, she didn't see her Husband.
"Bing 'er, where's the son-in-law?"
Xiao Bing was drying things in the yard. They were all Shen Lang's tools, none of which she recognized.
But these things were organized, maintained, and cleaned by Xiao Bing.
Xiao Bing was serious, because this was the task that the son-in-law had given her. Why didn't the son-in-law instruct anyone else, but me? It could be seen that the son-in-law doted on me the most.
"The son-in-law went out. I haven't seen him for a few days." Xiao Bing was depressed. She hadn't seen the hooligan for a few days, and her heart was even more empty.
"Went out? Where did he go? "Mulan asked.
Xiao Bing said, "I don't know. The son-in-law didn't tell me."
Then, Xiao Bing pointed at the top of Mulan's head and said, "Miss, there's something green on your head. What is it?"
Mulan casually brushed it away. It was a leaf. She was in a hurry just now, and didn't even notice the leaf falling on her head.
But it was already winter, and the leaves were still so green.
Mulan walked out of the courtyard and hurried to her father's study.
In the end, she saw Jin Mucong copying a book again.
"What are you doing?"
Jin Mucong said, "Copying a book."
Mulan took a look and saw that Jin Mucong was copying Journey to the West.
Mulan was the second reader of Journey to the West, and she liked it a lot.
At this moment, Jin Mucong was copying the plot of Sun Wukong burrowing into Princess Iron Fan's stomach and turning the world upside down.
"Brother-in-law isn't around, so there's no more story in Journey to the West. I was waiting anxiously, so I copied the previous one to my heart's content." Jin Mucong said, "Brother-in-law even said that Bull Demon King was cuckolded. Why can't I tell? Nothing happened between Sun Wukong and Princess Iron Fan."
Mulan said impatiently, "Where's your brother-in-law? Where did he go? "
Jin Mucong said, "He went to Raging Tide City."
Mulan exclaimed, "Why is he going to Raging Tide City? It's so dangerous, is there anyone protecting him? "
Jin Mucong said, "There's a woman protecting him, she's from the Heavenly Law Association."
Mulan said, "A woman from the Heavenly Law Association, what does she look like?"
Jin Mucong said, "Brother-in-law said that she's uglier than me, but I think she's pretty good."
Mulan glanced at her brother and felt relieved.
"Why is your brother-in-law going to Raging Tide City? Something important must have happened, otherwise someone as afraid of death as him wouldn't take such a risk. "Mulan said.
Jin Mucong said, "Xu Qianqian sent a secret letter saying that Qiu Yao Er suddenly fell ill and her life was in danger, so brother-in-law saved her."
This was an absolute secret, only two people knew the details, one was Xuanwu Jin Zhuo, the other was Jin Mucong. Even his mother-in-law didn't know, Jin Hui and Shen Shisan didn't know either.
Xuanwu and Shen Lang were both working hard to nurture Jin Mucong.
Even though he was only interested in copying books every day and didn't participate in any specific matters, he knew all the secrets, it was to nurture this sense of participation.
As the future Xuanwu, Jin Mucong could be stupid, he could be incompetent, but he had to have foresight.
Just like how Sha Gu followed Huang Yaoshi every day and somehow became an expert.
He went to save Qiu Yao Er?
Mulan's heart jumped, she couldn't help but panic.
Don't worry, don't worry.
I can't let my imagination run wild.
I don't have faith in that scum Husband, but I should have faith in Qiu Yao Er's character.
Immediately, she had a thought to go to Raging Tide City to find Shen Lang.
But … … in the end, she dispelled this irrational thought.
Jin Mucong suddenly said, "Sis, your new dress is really beautiful."
Mulan said, "Is that so?"
It was a green silk dress with a tinge of cyan.
Recently, many of Mulan's new dresses were of this color.
Because she had once lost a cyan dress, Shen Lang admitted to using it to do some unspeakable things, then destroyed the corpse to erase the evidence.
Mulan felt that Shen Lang was especially interested in her green dress, so he made many of them.
In order to attract Husband's attention, she really put in a lot of effort. There was no helping it, there were too many flirtatious sluts out there, and her Husband just happened to be a scum.
Jin Mucong said, "Yes, this kind of green is gorgeous but not frivolous, it's especially beautiful."
Of course, this was Shen Lang's original words, Jin Mucong didn't have this kind of aesthetic point of view.
In his eyes, everything was beautiful. As long as it was a dress, as long as it was a woman, it was beautiful.
Sigh, what a sad feeling.
Mulan wasn't in the mood to discuss these things, and instinctively climbed to the highest point of the castle, looking towards the east.
But she couldn't see anything, not even the sea.
Husband, don't let anything happen to you.
As long as you are safe, everything else doesn't matter.
As long as you don't get hurt, even if … … you hook up with other women, I … … I will grit my teeth and bear it.
At most, when I come back, I will ravage you.
Please don't get hurt, please don't be in danger.
… …
Qiu Xiao angrily returned to the mayor's residence.
"Father, how long are you going to tolerate Qiu Yao Er?" Qiu Xiao said angrily, "She already has ten thousand pirates under her command, if we don't deal with her, she won't be able to grow up. After all, she is not your biological daughter."
Pirate King Qiu Tianwei was looking at the map on the wall, his eyes fixed on the position of Wangya Island.
And this island had been smeared with gold powder, it stood out on the map.
When he talked to Tang Lun about Wangya Island, Tang Lun seemed very anxious, while Qiu Tianwei seemed very calm.
But the greed in his heart surpassed Tang Lun.
As the Pirate King, he always had the craziest greed for plunder and gold.
Qiu Xiao said: "Father, did you hear what I said? Even you can't command the two thousand elites under Qiu Yao Er. Her power is so great, aren't you worried that one day I will be killed by her, and she will replace me as the new Lord of Nu Tiao City? "
Qiu Tianwei said indifferently: "No, Qiu Yao Er's heart is far away. She is only interested in killing and fighting, saving her life, and venturing into the unknown world. She is not interested in power at all. "
Qiu Xiao said: "A person's ambition can slowly grow. For the future of my Qiu Family, I feel that it is necessary to get rid of her, or at least think of a way to cripple her martial arts."
"Idiot!" Qiu Tianwei roared: "You went to provoke her again? Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. Be careful that you don't keep your life. If not for me, you would have been killed by her long ago. "
Qiu Tianwei turned around and saw a wound on Qiu Xiao's back.
Immediately, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "She cut it?"
Qiu Xiao said: "No, it was those female warriors under her. A dozen of them surrounded me."
Qiu Tianwei said: "What did you do again?"
Qiu Xiao laughed and did not answer directly, then said coldly: "Father, even her warriors are so domineering. I am the young master of Nu Tiao City, and can be considered their master. They actually wanted to kill me. It can be seen that they only have Qiu Yao Er in their eyes. They don't care about me, nor do they care about you, the Lord of Nu Tiao City."
Pirate King Qiu Tianwei's face twitched again.
Qiu Xiao said again: "Oh right, someone wanted to poison her, and used poisonous sea salt to cook for her. They colluded with her cook, Shu Shu, and now this cook has been silenced. I think it was Qiu Xiao. "
Qiu Tianwei's eyes narrowed, and said: "Found out the reason? How is Yao Er now? "
Qiu Xiao replied, "He was cured. He was cured by a beautiful female physician."
Qiu Tianwei said in surprise: "That female doctor has such ability? I looked for famous doctors all over the world to cure her, and they couldn't even see the illness. Not only did this female doctor find the cause, she also cured her? "
Qiu Xiao said: "Yes, I heard that she is a beauty. She is a talent, father, why don't you bring her into the residence."
Qiu Tianwei did not reply, but said: "Hurry up and go to Wangya Island, or else if Qiu Yao Er really charges in front of me, I won't be able to protect you. Remember not to provoke her in this period of time. "
"Why?" Qiu Xiao said: "Who is the master of Nu Tiao City?"
Qiu Tianwei said: "Qiu Xiao guards Jinshan Island, that is also of utmost importance to us. All our iron, all our armor and weapons come from there. Next, I may lead the army to attack Wangya Island, then who will guard Nu Tiao City? Only Yao Er. "
Qiu Xiao was silent.
Even though he kept slandering Qiu Yao Er, he knew better than anyone else in his heart.
Qiu Yao Er was an invincible general, a female overlord. With her guarding Nu Tiao City, it would be absolutely safe. Even if the enemy had thousands of troops, they would not be able to break through.
And what was Qiu Tianwei most afraid of when he led his army to attack Wangya Island? It was definitely not because others were coming to attack Nu Tiao City, but because he was afraid of a fire in his backyard.
After all, the Leizhou Islands' pirates were completely unruly, and some of them only reluctantly followed Qiu Tianwei as their master. Who knew how many pirate leaders were ambitious.
But as long as Qiu Yao Er, this invincible general, was guarding Nu Tiao City, these pirate leaders would not dare to make a move.
And Qiu Xiao also knew that Qiu Yao Er really did not have any ambitions. She was absolutely loyal to her father.
He was actually not worried that Qiu Yao Er would fight with him for the position of City Lord. He was just jealous that her prestige surpassed his.
"Do you know what to do when you go to Wangya Island?" Qiu Tianwei said.
Qiu Xiao said: "Yes, domineering to the end. Whoever dares to stop me, kill! Anyway, I have tens of thousands of pirates behind me. The Kim family will definitely not dare to harm a single hair on my head. "
Qiu Tianwei said: "Remember, if the Kim family's reaction is very intense, then you have to be a little softer. But if their attitude softens, then you have to be very intense. Do whatever you want, be as arrogant as possible. "
"I understand." Qiu Xiao said.
Qiu Tianwei said: "You must see the gold mine with your own eyes. Seeing is believing."
Qiu Xiao said: "I understand."
Qiu Tianwei said: "Once you confirm that there is a gold mine, do you know what to do?"
Qiu Xiao said: "Immediately come back and tell father."
"No." Qiu Tianwei said: "Negotiate with Jin Zhuo, negotiate with Shen Lang. If the Kim family is willing to give up half of the gold mine, we will not attack Wangya Island. We can even send troops to protect it."
Qiu Xiao was shocked, not daring to believe it: "Really?"
Father doing this was the same as tricking Tang Lun.
Qiu Tianwei said: "At least at the start. Then think of a way to kill Shen Lang. You marry Jin Mulan, and in a few years it will all be ours."
Qiu Xiao said: "But Jin Mulan has already been targeted by the Crown Prince."
"She is just a woman." Qiu Tianwei said: "If we send troops to attack Wangya Island, our family will at most get 60%. If we can get 50% without moving a single soldier, what's wrong with that? "
Qiu Xiao laughed: "The Kim family will either hand over half of the gold mine or the whole family dies. I believe they will make a wise choice."
Qiu Tianwei said: "Go, before Yao 'er comes to find me, leave quickly."
"Yes, father." Qiu Xiao said, and then he left.
Qiu Tianwei said: "Remember, if they are hard, you will be soft. If they are soft, you will be hard! Try to negotiate, and try not to fight if you can. "
Qiu Xiao said: "Don't worry, I understand."
After his son left, Qiu Tianwei walked towards Qiu Yao 'er's castle.
Firstly, he wanted to see which female doctor could be so miraculous to actually cure Qiu Yao 'er's illness. It was really unimaginable.
If she was really that capable, then his son was right, he could take her in.
Even if she didn't agree, he could force her to stay.
Other than a woman like Qiu Yao 'er, any other woman could be subdued.
Secondly, he wanted to comfort his adopted daughter, Qiu Yao 'er. After all, Qiu Xiao had just done such a beastly thing.
There might be a war soon, and the defense of Raging Tide City still depended on Qiu Yao 'er, so he couldn't disappoint her.
However, when he was a few hundred meters away from Qiu Yao 'er's white castle.
He heard a piercing sound.
"Dang dang dang dang!"
This was the sound of many people hitting their armor with swords.
It was filled with killing intent.
This was Qiu Yao 'er venting her dissatisfaction.
No, he couldn't go at this time, Qiu Xiao was still nearby.
If Qiu Yao 'er asked him to hand over Qiu Xiao, he wouldn't be able to say anything.
He would go find her tomorrow.
… … …
The night passed!
The next morning, Shen Lang woke up.
Then, he felt that his entire body wasn't his anymore.
All the bones in his body were about to fall apart.
His back was no longer just sore, it was as if someone was burning it with a torch.
As for his two kidneys, they weren't just hollowed out, it was as if … they were cut away.
Not only that, but every part of his body was in pain.
He opened his eyes slightly, and instantly saw that his body was covered in wounds.
There were teeth marks everywhere, more than a hundred teeth marks.
Oh my god?
This … this is going to kill me.
But this wasn't a big deal.
Shen Lang lowered his head to take a look, and he almost cried out in surprise.
His family jewels were the most seriously injured.
It was really as if he had been boiled in boiling water, red and swollen.
There were also wounds and bloodstains.
Oh my god?
What exactly did I go through last night?
I … How did I survive?
The current Master Lang really looked like he had been ravaged by a hundred burly men.
And he wasn't lying on the ground, but on the bed.
He was still covered with a blanket, but there was no one beside him.
"Is anyone there?" Shen Lang instinctively shouted.
But his throat was completely hoarse, and he couldn't make a sound at all.
And his lips were burning. He looked into the silver mirror and saw that his lips were red and swollen, and he didn't know how many of his capillaries had burst.
Master Lang cried out in his heart again.
Oh my god?
What exactly did I go through last night?
Then, he reached out to hit his head, only to find that there were dried blood stains on it.
He reached out and sniffed. There was a strange smell.
He hit his head hard.
Shen Lang tried his best to recall.
After all, he had been drugged with aphrodisiac, and not a strong hallucinogen that he had created himself.
So after hitting his head a few times, he still remembered.
Everything that had happened last night appeared in his mind.
Then …
He shuddered.
He was stunned.
I … I was ravaged?
I was ravaged by Qiu Yao'er?
He carefully recalled what had happened last night.
He couldn't believe it.
It was too crazy.
It was too scary.
It was even crazier than the movies he had seen.
How was this Qiu Yao'er a goddess?
She was clearly a lioness.
And Shen Lang was a rabbit.
I … I actually survived.
It wasn't easy.
But last night, Qiu Yao'er was really … beautiful.
So beautiful that it reached the depths of his soul.
So beautiful that she surpassed the female lead of any movie.
So beautiful that she was like a bomb that exploded in the depths of his soul.
But where was Qiu Yao'er now?
Why did she disappear?
Then, Shen Lang thought of a fatal problem.
Would Qiu Yao'er kill him?
She hated men the most.
She had killed at least three thousand men, if not five thousand.
Moreover, he had disguised himself as a woman to deceive her.
Based on Qiu Yao'er's personality, she would not only kill him, but also tear him to pieces.
So why hasn't she killed him yet?
That's right, it must be because I am still unconscious and there is no point in her killing me.
When I wake up, she will definitely tear me to pieces to vent her hatred.
Master Lang had always been in the habit of thinking of others with the worst intentions.
No, I have to run!
In order to save my life, I have to run.
Some people might say that Master Lang was the one being ravaged, he was the victim. Why should he run?
Against a powerful female overlord, do you think you can reason with me?
She hated men. Didn't you see that she couldn't even be touched by a man? She would rather die than let those male doctors take her pulse.
Moreover, it was Master Lang who had disguised himself as a woman to deceive her first.
Shen Lang climbed out of bed with great difficulty, then took off his clothes with even greater difficulty. Then, he tiptoed, planning to escape.
Where is that little slut, Xu Qianqian?
Why isn't she coming to help me escape?
…
