Li Xiuzhi's sadness only lasted for one day.

The next day, the strong little woman from Hezhong Village, Nanhe County, returned.

Since the mission could not be changed, Li Xiuzhi had to let Chen Lang concentrate on his mission.

Even if Chen Lang really couldn't come back, she would not commit suicide again. Instead, she would raise Guoguo and the baby in her belly and leave a bloodline for Chen Lang.

When the two children grow up, they will go to the underworld to reunite with their husband.

Of course, Li Xiuzhi did not tell Chen Lang about this idea.

For the next twenty days or so, Chen Lang's family lived the same life as before.

The only thing that made Li Xiuzhi feel regretful was that she could no longer sleep with Chen Lang because she was pregnant.

Although she could use her hands and mouth to satisfy herself, Li Xiuzhi still felt sad that she couldn't "merge" with her beloved man before he went to war.

That night, when Chen Lang was holding Li Xiuzhi and preparing to go to bed, Li Xiuzhi suddenly took out a small box from the drawer. When she opened it, there was a ball of white ointment inside.

Chen Lang asked curiously, "What is this?"

Li Xiuzhi blushed and whispered something in Chen Lang's ear.

Chen Lang was at a loss for words and asked, "Xiuzhi, where did you learn all this?"

Li Xiuzhi bit her lower lip and said, "Rou'er told me."

"She said that when the women in the brothel have their period and have to entertain customers, they will let the customers take this route."

Chen Lang touched Li Xiuzhi's cheek and said softly, "Xiuzhi, you don't have to be like this."

"Although that place is indeed very attractive to me, even if I want to leave, I have to wait until you give birth to the child."

"not now."

Li Xiuzhi said: "But..."

Chen Lang said: "No buts!"

Then he tapped Li Xiuzhi's lips and said, "This is where I am very satisfied."

Li Xiuzhi put the ointment back into the drawer and huddled under the quilt.

Outside the window, the moon shyly closed its eyes.

……

The second day of June.

Pei Ming came to Chen Lang's home again.

"Director Li, whom I mentioned to you before, is here. Come with me."

When Li Xiuzhi, who was sewing clothes for children, heard this, the needle pierced her fingertip, and blood came out, staining the cloth in her hand red.

But she immediately curled up her fingers and asked with a smile, "General Pei, can my husband come back for dinner?"

Pei Ming said: "If everything goes well, I can come back for dinner."

"Thank you." Li Xiuzhi said.

Chen Lang touched Li Xiuzhi's cheek, kissed Guoguo's forehead, and followed Pei Ming out the door.

However, Pei Ming did not take Chen Lang to the Duke's Mansion, but took him directly out of the city.

After walking about five miles out of the city, a mansion appeared in front of us.

Pei Ming reined in his horse and raised his chin towards the gate: "Go in."

Chen Lang asked, "Am I alone?"

Pei Ming said, "Director Li only wants to see you."

Chen Lang dismounted, rubbed his cheeks, and walked into the mansion.

In the middle of the yard, there was a man in black sitting with his eyes closed, as if basking in the sun.

His trouser legs were empty and there was a crutch next to his wooden wheelchair.

Without anyone introducing him, Chen Lang didn't dare to say hello. He stood there, waiting for the other person to open his eyes.

Fortunately, the wait was not too long.

After a few breaths, Li Junhui opened his eyes, turned the wooden wheelchair, and faced Chen Lang.

The first time he saw Chen Lang, Li Junhui was certain that he must be his eldest brother's son.

"Kid, come here." Li Junhui waved at Chen Lang.

Chen Lang stepped forward and bowed, "Excuse me, sir. Is this the Director Li that General Pei mentioned?"

Li Junhui didn't rush to answer Chen Lang's question. Instead, he looked him over carefully, then smiled and said, "Don't call me Director Li."

"Call me Third Uncle."

Chen Lang's eyes widened: "Huh?"

Li Jun replied, "I'm the third oldest among my brothers. I'm almost two generations older than you. Calling me Third Uncle isn't really an injustice to you, is it?"

Chen Lang said: "That's not what I meant, it's just..."

"Shout." Li Jun replied, "I want to hear it."

Chen Lang swallowed and tentatively called out "Third Uncle".

Li Junhui closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "That's great."

"Sit down and talk."

"Thank you, sir..."

"Ok?"

"Thank you, Uncle San, for the seat."

After Chen Lang sat down, Li Jun asked, "Did that old scoundrel Zhu Sui'an tell you the purpose of my coming here?"

The corners of Chen Lang's mouth twitched slightly.

Zhu Sui'an called the man in front of him a dead cripple, and the man in front of him called Zhu Sui'an an old rogue.

Or the relationship is good enough that they tease each other.

Or they are mortal enemies, exposing each other's shortcomings.

The relationships between big shots are so complicated.

Chen Lang collected his thoughts and said, "Mr. Zhu said that Third Uncle is here to help me."

"But Lord Zhu didn't say how to help."

Li Junhui sneered: "You call him Duke Zhu?"

Chen Lang was a little confused: "If not this way, how else can I shout?"

Li Junhui snorted coldly, "He really has no shame."

Chen Lang looked up at the sky.

Can't understand.

Li Jun replied and got back to the point, saying, "There are three tasks for me when I go to Liao."

Chen Lang's expression immediately became serious.

"First, send Yelu Zongwang safely to Shangjing."

"Second, find a shop called Cui Yuxuan in Shangjing and ask the owner if he has the book Mo Yun Four Chapters for sale. If the owner tells you that Mo Yun has five chapters, not four, then you've found the right person. The owner will arrange everything else."

"Finally, bring Princess Yongjia back intact."

Chen Lang listened very carefully, but didn't understand anything at all.

Isn’t it to send the princess to marry?

Where did Yelu Zongwang come from? Why did they need another manager?

Li Junhui said calmly, "Yelü Zongwang is the younger brother of the previous Liao emperor. After failing to seize the throne, he fled to Dayan. I then captured him and he has been imprisoned in the Imperial Prison."

Hearing this, a thought suddenly flashed through Chen Lang's mind, and he said in astonishment, "Could it be that more than 20 years ago, the Liao Kingdom tore up the contract without any warning and launched a war just for Yelu Zongwang?"

Li Jun replied: "That's one of the reasons."

"Yelü Zongwang held an extremely high position within the Liao imperial family. Empress Dowager Xiao naturally refused to allow such a person, who posed a huge threat to her power, to remain alive."

"Plus, at that time, Empress Dowager Xiao had just come to power and urgently needed an external victory to consolidate her power, so that war took place."

"But ironically, during the war, I hadn't captured Yelu Zongwang yet. It wasn't until the end of the war that His Majesty issued an order, ordering me to capture this 'culprit' at any cost."

At this point, Li Junhui patted his thigh and said, "This is the price of capturing Yelu Zongwang."

Chen Lang raised a finger: "One question."

Li Jun replied, "Speak."

Chen Lang said, "After the princess arrived in Liao and was handed over to her marriage partner, he forced her to have sex with him. What could I do?"

"You can't just castrate him, right?"
