My husband is pure and has few desires, but I gave birth to three children in a row

Fu Zhiyi hugged Lu Zhenzhen and kissed her on the cheek. After a moment's silence, he said, "Tomorrow, you take Nanny Ye, Dingxiang and the others, as well as Daman and Jingzhe. I'll leave them to you. Let's get on Lin Dejiang's boat and leave first—"

Lu Zhenzhen was stunned when she heard this, but when she came to her senses, she pushed Fu Zhiyi away and said, "What do you mean? Are you going to stay and deal with the pirates?"

Fu Zhiyi nodded before he could explain.

Lu Zhenzhen looked at Fu Zhiyi suspiciously: "That's not right! Putting aside the seriousness of suppressing bandits, even with the escorts we brought with us and the servants and guards in the mansion, there are only about fifty or sixty people in total, which can be considered as having some skills."

"Add the crew members from other ships and the like. Even if you can gather a team of hundreds of people, you're facing extremely vicious pirates. You're just a ragtag group that's barely gathered together. Are you sure you're going to suppress the bandits, not just to get yourself killed?"

"Fourth Master, you're not the type to act without confidence! Furthermore, you're an official stationed in Nanyue. It's not your place to intervene in the river bandits. Furthermore, even if you truly sympathize with the people, or want to stand up for them, you should submit a memorial to His Majesty, or let me inform His Majesty through the Fourth Princess. The proper procedure would be for the imperial court to send troops to eliminate these bandits."

"Instead of you stepping into other people's shoes and fighting against the pirates with a brave heart, leading a hundred or so people to fight the pirates head-on."

"So, what are you hiding?" Lu Zhenzhen stared at Fu Zhiyi.

Fu Zhiyi smiled bitterly. He knew that he could not hide anything from Lu Zhenzhen.

Rubbing his nose, he could only smile bitterly and said, "There are some things and words I can't say right now! But I must go to suppress the bandits! Don't worry, I won't put myself in danger! After all, I haven't lived long enough, my poison hasn't been cured, I haven't consummated my marriage with you, and I haven't given birth to a child with you. No matter what, I will protect myself! Believe me, Zhenzhen!"

Lu Zhenzhen's heart skipped a beat, remembering what Fu Zhiyi had said last time.

I had a guess in my mind that this exile might be related to the bandit suppression campaign?

Then she couldn't continue asking.

Logically speaking, at this time, in order to show that their love is stronger than gold and they are determined to live and die together, she should pat her chest and make her attitude clear that even if she dies, she will die with Fu Zhiyi and will never leave Fu Zhiyi's side.

But being kept in the dark and not being able to ask anything is already very frustrating.

I'm really not in the mood to play anything. Go away, I won't leave——

Go away, I won't leave, I want to accompany you——

If you don't leave now, it will be too late. I won't leave. I will be with you even if I die.

This kind of game.

When human lives are at stake, there's really no need to cause more trouble.

He nodded decisively. "Alright, I won't ask you any more questions! When do you need me to go to Lin Dejiang's boat? Do I need to bring all my belongings?"

"I'm going to the boat over there. What do you need me to do? Should I ask them to go forward and wait for you at the next dock?"

"Or should we stop in the middle of the river after a certain number of miles and wait for news from you?"

Not only did he calmly agree, he also asked Fu Zhiyi if there was anything he could help with.

Although she has plenty of strength to fight bandits, she'd better not get involved.

After all, swords have no eyes, and I can't guarantee that I will not be soft-hearted if I really encounter bandit suppression, otherwise I will become a burden.

I might as well go further away so that Fu Zhiyi can have no worries and give it a try.

It would be even better if I could do some logistical work and provide some assistance.

Fu Zhiyi looked at Lu Zhenzhen, who was so calm and organized, with indescribable admiration and excitement in his eyes.

Before he opened his mouth to tell Lu Zhenzhen, he also imagined how Lu Zhenzhen would react after hearing these words.

It is possible that you will cry and say you will not leave.

Some were also angry that he had concealed it.

But it’s not like this. He doesn’t ask too many questions, but firmly supports me, doesn’t hold me back, and even asks me if there’s anything I can do to help.

Lu Zhenzhen like this, really, was shining in his eyes at this moment.

And this Lu Zhenzhen is his wife!

What surged in Fu Zhiyi's chest was not only excitement, but also pride and honor.

He couldn't help but pull Lu Zhenzhen into his arms again, hugging her tightly, "Zhenzhen, you always surprise me, which makes me love you even more. I feel that marrying you is the greatest blessing in my life——"

Lu Zhenzhen curled her lips and pushed Fu Zhiyi away: "Alright, let's get down to business, no more sentimental things!"

Although she couldn't ask too much, it didn't stop her from showing concern. "I don't ask what methods you use, but when dealing with bandits like the Water Bandits who are known for their murderous and plundering tendencies, you must be ruthless! Don't be indecisive. Also, be especially careful with women, children, and the elderly. Don't be fooled by their weak appearance."

"If you find a bandit's lair and see women, the elderly, and children, don't be soft-hearted! Don't be fooled by their sweet words. If they say they were captured and forced to surrender, that's all lies! Anyone who can survive in a bandit's lair is definitely not a good person."

"Maintain the utmost vigilance and treat everyone equally. Tie them up first and lock them up later. As for their identities, we'll interrogate them afterwards. If they're genuinely good citizens, we can let them go. But if they're the wives, children, and parents of the criminals, we absolutely cannot let them go!"

Lu Zhenzhen explained seriously.

Although she had not experienced it, in modern society, our motherland suffered such a loss during the self-defense war against Vietnam.

And the internationally notorious "Black Widow" human bomb is still fresh in our memory.

Although I don’t know if these pirates are that cunning, it’s definitely a good idea to be more careful and make more preparations.

Fu Zhiyi seemed a little nonchalant when he started listening, but as he listened further, his expression became serious.

After Lu Zhenzhen finished speaking, he said seriously, "Zhenzhen, what you reminded me is that we really can't be careless."

Lu Zhenzhen nodded with satisfaction. This was the good thing about Fu Zhiyi: he was not chauvinistic and could accept any constructive suggestions.

We will not ignore or disdain the opinions given by women.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Zhenzhen continued, "Since they're bandits, there's no point talking about the code of conduct or fighting them in an open and honest manner. No matter what means you use, as long as you can wipe them out, it's a good method."

"How about we ask Doctor Qi's nephew? Does he have any knockout drugs or poisons? Ideally, something that would knock out a whole bunch of people if you just sprinkled it in?"

Fu Zhiyi raised his eyebrows. Has his wife read too many storybooks?

However, there is some truth to what he said.

While sending for Doctor Qi to come over, he said, "Doctor Qi's nephew has a name, Qi Chaihu."

When Lu Zhenzhen heard this, she knew that the Qi family was indeed a family of imperial physicians, as they all used Chinese medicine in their names.

I couldn't help but ask, "What's the name of the old genius doctor Qi?"

Fu Zhiyi cleared his throat: "Qi Huixiang."
