On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

In the cold winter, the biting north wind whistled across the earth like a knife, making the dry grass on both sides of the road tremble.

On the road leading to Jiangdu, a team was marching forward in a mighty manner, breaking the dead silence of winter.

Lin Zhen was dressed in a black suit with a thick fox fur cloak on the outside, and he was riding an upright horse.

Chu Xiling sat in the carriage, which was covered with thick blankets. The heater emitted warm air, dispelling the cold.

She looked through the gap in the car window at Lin Zhen riding a horse outside, her eyes full of tenderness and love.

Behind them, two thousand soldiers from the Huben Camp were dressed in armor and marched in unison. The sound of their armor clashing echoed across the open field, exuding a solemn and murderous aura.

Jiangdu, once a major commercial city belonging to the Chu State, is now part of Daqian.

The famous Yangzhou skinny horse originated from this.

Flags were flying on the city walls, and the bright Daqian army flags were fluttering in the cold wind.

Lin Zhen had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery of Jiangdu. As soon as he entered the city, he rode his horse straight to the government office.

The horse's hooves clattered, breaking the thin ice on the ground and splashing some ice chips.

As I stepped into the government office gate, I saw an old man in a gray robe standing with his hands behind his back.

It was Lin Zhenxian, who had not been seen for many days.

"grandfather!"

Lin Zhen shouted, came forward and knelt on his knees.

"Grandson pays homage to his grandfather!"

To be honest, he really missed this old man.

After traveling through time for so long, the old man has been very supportive of him in many things, and it can even be said that he is the cornerstone of Lin Zhen's road to success.

Lin Zhenxian turned around with a sharp gaze. The moment he saw Lin Zhen, a hearty laugh suddenly broke out on his weather-beaten face.

"Hahaha, what a good boy! With only 5,000 soldiers, you defeated an enemy force of 100,000. You also destroyed the Tiandao headquarters and fought against the landlords and divided the land in Wuqing County. Well done, you did a great job! You are worthy of being the grandson of me, Lin Zhenxian!"

Lin Zhenxian strode forward and personally pulled Lin Zhen up, his eyes full of pride and satisfaction.

At the same time, Chu Xiling also walked lightly from outside into the government office.

Today she was wearing a moon-white brocade robe and a snow-white fox fur coat. She had a graceful figure and a graceful demeanor.

Her black hair fell like a waterfall, fixed only with a jade hairpin, which made her face look more elegant and refined.

After entering the government office, she looked at Lin Zhen with a smile, then bowed to Lin Zhenxian and said softly, "Granddaughter-in-law, I pay my respects to the prince."

The voice was melodious and clear, like the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley, softly echoing in the government office.

However, Lin Zhenxian was stunned.

When did the Princess of Chu become his grandson's wife?

"Grandson, grandson, and granddaughter-in-law!? Brat! What's going on?!"

"Grandfather, you don't know that Ling'er is already a member of our Lin family."

"You..." Lin Zhenxian pointed at Lin Zhen excitedly and couldn't say a word.

My grandson is so awesome.

Not only did he sleep with the emperor and the imperial concubine, he also slept with the princess of Chu!

Is it time to sleep like a god next?

Seeing this, Lin Zhen hurriedly stepped forward to help Chu Xiling up, his eyes full of tenderness: "Ling'er, go to the back and rest first."

"Ah."

Chu Xiling nodded in agreement, bowed to Lin Zhenxian, and walked towards the back hall.

Lin Zhenxian raised his hand to signal Lin Zhen to take a seat, and then he slowly sat down himself: "Zhen'er, what's going on with this Princess of Chu? Isn't she a hostage? How did she become your concubine?"

"Well, Grandfather, this matter cannot be explained in a few words. Let's talk about the negotiations with the State of Chu."

"Well, that's fine. I won't get involved in your private affairs, but there's one thing you have to remember! No matter which concubine you are, hurry up and give birth to a few sons. While I still have a few years left to live, I can take care of your children!"

"Yes Yes Yes......"

The old man kept talking about his great-grandson, which made Lin Zhen speechless.

Lin Zhenxian asked again, "What are your plans for this negotiation in Jiangdu?"

Lin Zhen sat down and pulled out a long-drafted document from his bosom. He gently placed it on the table and tapped his fingers. "Grandfather, I've drafted our demands here. If Chu Batian agrees, we'll cease fire and then slowly discuss borders, trade, and other matters. If he disagrees, we won't be afraid. At worst, we can reorganize our troops and continue our campaign south. I want to see how long Chu Batian can hold out."

There was a sense of confidence and courage in his words.

Lin Zhenxian nodded slightly, picked up the document, and carefully read it, muttering, "Ceding all the land north of the Yangtze River is fine, we conquered it in the first place. But opening Wu County as a trading port and paying an annual tribute of 300,000 dan of grain and 5,000 paks of cloth to the Qian Kingdom...will they agree to this?"

"If you don't agree, just keep fighting."

Lin Zhenxian put down the document and said, "Zhen'er, the person coming to negotiate this time is not Chu Batian himself, but Gu Beichen."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhen's brows knitted slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Gu Beichen? Didn't this kid go to live with his grandfather? Why is he back?"

The protagonist of the original book is really lucky.

Although he failed, he still maintained his status as the protagonist.

Lin Zhenxian saw his confusion and explained, "The situation is changing rapidly. Gu Beichen and Han Tianxing have both become high-ranking officials in the Chu Kingdom. Gu Beichen even married a princess of the Chu Kingdom and became the son-in-law of Chu Batian. Han Tianxing, as the prime minister, is deeply trusted by Chu Batian. He even handed over the military power of the entire Chu Kingdom to Gu Beichen. Moreover..."

At this point, Lin Zhenxian paused and looked at Lin Zhen with a playful look, "Chu Batian also wants you to go to the marriage alliance as well, and wants to recruit you into his army."

Lin Zhen was stunned at first, then he threw his head back and burst into laughter. His laughter echoed throughout the room, shaking the window frames. "Hahahahaha, this is absolutely ridiculous! Let me marry? Grandfather, have you forgotten? Princess Qingqiu of Chu is already mine."

"Hahahahahaha, it looks like Chu Batian's little plan is going to fail."

Lin Zhenxian also laughed.

Chu Batian probably never imagined that his precious daughter had become Lin Zhen's concubine.

It's ridiculous that he insisted on making Lin Zhen his son-in-law.

No matter what Gu Beichen said in this negotiation, they would not gain any benefit.

Lin Zhenxian suddenly approached mysteriously, staring intently at Lin Zhen, and asked in a low voice, "Since Princess Qingqiu is already your concubine, why did you bring her along?"

Lin Zhen was startled by this sudden question, a blush spreading across his face. He subconsciously touched his nose, looking a little embarrassed. "Um... Actually, it's not that I wanted to bring Ling'er here, but Her Majesty... She hopes that I can use Chu Xiling to get more benefits from the Chu State."

Lin Zhenxian nodded: "I see... Oh, right, there's one more thing that I'm sure you'll be interested in."
