Professional Ethics of a Concubine

With Xie Wenyuan's cooperation, the sacrificial of human heads, the hanging of corpses on the city gates, the suppression of Xiong Dayong's personal soldiers, and the taking over of the army all went extremely smoothly.

Anyway, Xiong Dayong has been squeezed dry of every last bit of value.

After it was finally over, Xie Jin quickly led Xie Wenyuan and others to a restaurant in the city.

After everyone was seated and nothing unexpected happened, Xie Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Come, come, Magistrate of Yongchang County, you designed the killing of Xiong Dayong and made a great contribution. You should sit next to this general." Xie Wenyuan waved at him and said in a friendly manner.

"Thank you, General, for your kindness." Xie Jin bowed to him and thanked him. Then he sat beside him, poured him a glass of wine, and said,

"General, please try this wine. It was collected from Xiong Dayong's residence. It tastes strong and refreshing, with a long aftertaste and even a hint of sweetness."

"Oh? It sounds like a rare good wine! Then I'll have a few more drinks." Xie Wenyuan picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"Ahem...good, good wine! It's really strong!" Xie Wenyuan drank too fast and choked, but this did not stop him from liking this wine.

"Generals, please have a taste." Xie Wenyuan wiped the wine stains from his lips and said to everyone with a smile,

"This wine should be obtained by Xiong Dayong from Da Zhao. Once we conquer Da Zhao's city, we can attack and grab more wine."

"Hahaha...Okay! I'll try it too." A deputy general also picked up the wine glass and drank it, his eyes lit up in surprise, and he praised loudly,

"Good, good, good! This wine is really fucking awesome! Da Zhao has some good stuff."

Others also started drinking.

However, there were also those who could not enjoy strong liquor, and they immediately shook their heads and shouted loudly,

"I won't steal the liquor of the Great Zhao, I want to steal the beauties of the Great Zhao! I heard that the crown prince of the Great Zhao personally brought his favorite concubine with him, I guess that concubine must be extremely beautiful.

Hehe, after we kill the Crown Prince of Zhao, we can enjoy his beauties..."

A bunch of people echoed, “Hahaha, good!”

"Cough cough cough..."

Xie Wenyuan was choked by the man's suicidal intent. He glanced at Xie Jin, who had a cold and murderous look on his face, and put his wine glass down suddenly, scolding him.

"Shut up! The war is imminent, why bother talking about women? Xiong Dayong is a lesson for you!"

Seeing that Xie Wenyuan was really angry, everyone dared not say any obscene words and just lowered their heads to drink.

Xie Jin no longer had the heart to socialize, because his heart was filled with murderous intent, and the first thing he wanted to say was to drag him away and be executed by slow slicing.

At this time, there was a lot of noise outside, as if many people had gathered in front of the restaurant.

"What's going on?" Xie Wenyuan looked at Xie Jin with worry in his eyes.

Now, any little disturbance can make him nervous.

"The people must have heard that Xiong Dayong had died, so they gathered here to thank the general," Xie Jin said.

"Let's go outside and take a look." Xie Wenyuan put down his wine glass and walked out first.

Xie Jin and others followed behind him.

This was indeed the case. There were dozens of people outside, men and women, young and old.

They said that their family members had all been harmed by Xiong Dayong, and they came to express their gratitude after hearing that he had died.

This drama was naturally arranged by Xie Jin.

This is also to divert everyone's attention, to keep everyone's emotions and attention on Xiong Dayong, and ignore other things that are wrong.

This kind of drama of people expressing their gratitude is time-consuming but can also bring people a sense of pleasure and exaltation. It is particularly suitable for setting the mood and making them happy.

"General, you have worked hard. We are willing to contribute our own poultry to provide meals for all the soldiers so that they can all eat meat!"

Some people shouted again, and other people also echoed loudly.

Xie Wenyuan thought this was a good addition to the play, and when he looked at the other generals, they all grinned.

"Oh! The people here are all very nice, generous, and grateful. Not bad, not bad."

"I think so too! Hahaha, with people like this in the rear, we will have more motivation to fight."

…………

These generals had just had a few glasses of liquor, and after hearing such praise, they were indeed a little intoxicated.

Dizzy.

"Okay, everyone, disperse. If you want to contribute, send your own pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks to the military camp. There will be more troops coming soon. Take good care of your children and don't let them get bumped into."

After Xie Jin finished speaking loudly, he waved his hand and told everyone to disperse quickly.

Xie Wenyuan looked at the scattered people and said to Xie Jin with a smile, "You have a good way of governing. You have done a good job."

"General, you are too kind." Xie Jin said modestly.

Everyone went back to drinking. The atmosphere was much more lively than before and the drinks were drunk very quickly.

"Where is Feng Yuxi? Why can't I see him?" Xie Jin found an opportunity and asked Xie Wenyuan in a low voice.

"He's following the army." Xie Wenyuan also said in a low voice.

Xie Jin nodded and stopped talking, waiting for the time to pass.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Xie Wenyuan stood up without Xie Jin's reminder and said,

"This general will go to the city gate to see if the army has arrived."

Many generals were already a little drunk, and when they saw Xie Wenyuan stand up, they wanted to stand up and go too.

"Okay, all of you don't have to go. We finally have a good meal with good wine and food. Enjoy it first and deal with military affairs tomorrow!"

Xie Wenyuan said with concern and sympathy.

When the generals heard this, they were all very moved and stood up to toast Xie Wenyuan.

Xie Wenyuan also poured a glass of wine, raised his glass to them, drank it all, and said generously,

"The general will be back soon!"

Then, Xie Wenyuan took Chen Yuankai and a few of his trusted soldiers and went to the city gate with Xie Jin.

"How do we deal with this? Take him down now?" After leaving the restaurant, Xie Wenyuan asked Xie Jin in a low voice, "Are there any special projects?"

"The people in the restaurant will immediately change their wine to another one, and they will pass out after one glass."

Xie Jin said coldly, "Light a fire in the middle of the night and let them feel my passion."

"Ahem, although most of them are just scoundrels, there are a few good ones that we can try to persuade to rebel."

Xie Wenyuan knew that this was because the deputy general had said something damnable that angered him.

Xie Jin agreed with a cold face, emphasizing that those who humiliated Ye Qingzhi must die, even if he had talent.

"Okay, okay, don't be so angry." Xie Wenyuan looked at him and tried to persuade him, "Do you know that you are particularly scary when you have a cold face?"

"This is called majesty!" said Xie Jin.

"I understand, I understand. It's not like I haven't experienced the majesty of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before." Xie Wenyuan said in a sarcastic tone.

Xie Jin said nothing and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

"However, I have never experienced the feeling of risking one's life for a beautiful woman."

Xie Wenyuan looked at Xie Jin with some envy.

"You are really lucky this time. You have a confidante by your side."

Xie Jin glanced at him and was touched by his words.

In his previous life, he did not have his beloved family by his side. What a boring and barren life that was.

Xie Jin thought about it and looked at Chen Yuankai behind him.

Suddenly, Xie Jin realized that his beloved could not be with him without the help of Chen Yuankai.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little more favorable towards Chen Yuankai. After all, he married Ye Qingzhi in his previous life, not his own Qingqing.

Chen Yuankai vaguely heard the conversation between his master and the prince. When the prince stared at him like that, he instantly felt his scalp tingling and he was about to feel unwell.

His legs were shaking and he almost knelt down to Prince Xie Jin to show his loyalty to him immediately. He really didn't dare to have any improper thoughts about Ye Qingzhi.

I hope the prince will just ignore this scumbag husband from his previous life and not take it seriously!

"If you are angry, don't take it out on my people." Xie Wenyuan defended.

Chen Yuankai burst into tears on the spot.

Oh, oh, oh, my master, now that you have said this, I will really go through fire and water for you without any hesitation!

"You misunderstood." Xie Jin lightly brushed aside the matter and stopped discussing it. Instead, he said,

"Hongbao is here too, and can't wait to see you. If everything is done tonight, would you like to go back to Funing City first?"

"There's no need to rush for another day or two, just get things done here." Xie Wenyuan waved his hand.

Although he missed his son a lot after two years of separation and wanted to see how tall he had grown and if he had changed in appearance, he also wanted to make sure that nothing would go wrong.

Xie Jin stopped talking, he understood.

Because he wanted to go back and hug his dear Qingqing, and see with his own eyes how serious her foot injury was, but things here were more important, so he had to restrain himself.

Xie Wenyuan and Xie Jin climbed up the city wall. As it was getting dark, they could no longer see clearly in the distance.

There is only the gradually deepening darkness.

However, after a while, a scout came to report that the army was less than three miles away from the city gate, and if they marched quickly, they would arrive in less than two quarters of an hour.

"Very good!" Xie Wenyuan nodded with a smile and clapped his hands.

"The fact that they can arrive at this hour means that they didn't get much rest along the way. We must reward them well when they arrive."

"The general is generous." Xie Jin praised him halfheartedly.

Xie Wenyuan responded without any hesitation.

Two quarters of an hour was not a long time. The two of them did not talk, but just stood on the city wall and waited. Finally...

Before I could see the figure clearly, I could already hear footsteps like thunder.

Boom, boom, boom, it seems like it is hitting your heart, and the sound seems to be able to penetrate the air and make everything around you vibrate.

"If something goes wrong at this moment, and someone rushes out and shouts, 'The Crown Prince of Zhao is here...'" Xie Wenyuan whispered to Xie Jin.

"No!" Xie Jin said firmly, with a serious look, "It will definitely go smoothly."

"Why are you so sure?" Xie Wenyuan was also nervous and his mind was extremely tense, so he relieved the tension by talking nonsense.

"God is on our side." Xie Jin said, looking at Xie Wenyuan, and suddenly asked him, "Have you accumulated merits in the State of Chu in the past two years?"
