Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"

The captain glanced at Lin Ping, his tone stiff and cold.

"Okay, I won't ask..."

Lin Ping forced a smile.

Faced with soldiers who killed without hesitation, Lin Ping could only obediently suppress all his ulterior motives.

Although the other party did not answer the question he most wanted to know, they did answer another person's question.

He was just a puppet hired by the city lord's mansion, someone who was dispensable. Even if he became a prince consort, he would not be looked up to by anyone.

But he was still curious as to why he had been chosen by the princess.

In terms of looks, he definitely has the "pretty boy" look.

But if the Iron-Faced Princess doesn't even care about her own appearance, how could she care about his?

If you say he was chosen because he's handsome, Lin Ping would be the first to disagree.

But the problem is that besides being handsome, he has nothing else.

In terms of academic knowledge, he was barely literate and couldn't even write his own name.

In terms of martial arts, he was completely powerless and could not be of any help to the city lord's mansion.

If we really have to talk about his special talent, it's just that he's a spendthrift.

Is this considered a skill?

Lin Ping shook his head frantically, thinking that the princess must have lost her mind.

After a while, Lin Ping followed the armored soldiers into the city lord's mansion.

This city, rebuilt outside the main city, is exceptionally tall, with walls ten zhang high and steel gates that send chills down your spine.

Lin Ping surveyed the entire city wall and couldn't help but sigh.

It was more magnificent than any city wall he had ever seen.

If an ordinary city is like this, one can only imagine what the imperial city is like.

If the Northern Song Dynasty had such a city, it would not have suffered all kinds of humiliation at the hands of the Jurchens.

Just as Lin Ping was engrossed in watching, a white figure suddenly rose from the ground, its toes touching the almost vertical city wall as it flew up!

Lin Ping was completely stunned.

If he hadn't had several time-travel experiences and knew that everything before him was real, he would have definitely thought this was a movie set.

Does the ability to fly over rooftops and scale walls really exist in this world?

"Excuse me, could you tell me who was that person who just flew up the city wall?"

Lin Ping asked with a smile.

This time, the captain did not refuse to answer. Instead, he puffed out his chest and said proudly, "Naturally, it is Her Highness the Princess!"

county lord?

The Iron-Faced Princess?

His wife can fly?

Lin Ping was completely stunned; his domestic violence had escalated.

It's been changed to the flying version.

If someone were to slap them like that, wouldn't their brains be splattered out?

"If you trouble yourself again, what number will I be as the son-in-law of the emperor?"

Lin Ping asked, puzzled.

Judging from the Iron-Faced Princess's martial prowess, it would be difficult for an ordinary person to last more than a few days.

"The first one!"

"That's what the captain replied."

"First? Position?"

Lin Ping felt a little better. It seemed that the Iron-Faced Princess was not a bloodthirsty person, and was even somewhat devoted to one another.

"Number one this month!"

The captain added, glancing at Lin Ping in the process.

This month?

Lin Ping calculated the days and was immediately horrified.

Damn it, it's only the first day of junior high today.

"What are you standing there for? Get moving!"

The captain urged impatiently.

Lin Ping could only force himself to remain calm as he entered the city.

The scene before him brought him back to his senses.

This is an excessively wide street that runs directly through the north and south gates of the city lord's mansion.

The street was twenty or thirty feet wide, and the entire road surface was paved with blue bricks, which could accommodate dozens of warhorses charging at the same time.

In this way, the north and south gates of the city lord's mansion can be closely connected and support each other.

The low-rise houses on both sides stand in stark contrast to this majestic avenue.

Apart from a few shops, there was no commercial atmosphere at all in the entire city.

The streets were sparsely populated, appearing somewhat deserted and quiet.

Clearly, this was a city built for war.

The civilians there were all military households. When there was no war, they would train with the troops, and when war broke out, they would put on military uniforms and rush to the battlefield.

It was more like a huge military camp than a city.

Fortunately, Lin Ping had been a general, so he wasn't too frightened by the sight.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't shocked.

There was not a single city like this in the dynasties he lived through.

A glimpse of the leopard can be seen in the tube.

Lin Ping could even imagine just how strong Wu Kingdom's military strength really was.

After walking along the street for a long time, the group arrived at the center of the city.

The three large characters "City Lord's Mansion" came into view.

Lin Ping was once again awestruck by the imposing presence of the City Lord's Mansion.

This is clearly a city within a city.

But he had seen so many magnificent buildings along the way that he was no longer surprised.

At this moment, the city lord's mansion was brightly decorated with lanterns and colorful banners, creating a joyous and festive atmosphere.

Seeing this, Lin Ping felt somewhat relieved.

Although he was marrying into the family, the ceremony was not low-level.

Lin Ping shrugged, looked at the bustling hall, and said solemnly, "Let's go over there!"

Before anyone could see his dashing pose, the captain pulled him aside.

"Your room is over there!"

The captain pointed to a low side door and said.

"The auspicious time is approaching, I must go and pay my respects to the princess, right?"

Lin Ping became increasingly puzzled.

Since the city lord's mansion has held such a grand ceremony, shouldn't they have taken him for granted?

Lin Ping possesses a melancholic air reminiscent of a wronged woman in the deep palace.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"

The captain said coldly.

Okay, Lin Ping is overthinking it.

This wedding was never intended for him.

Led by the captain, Lin Ping passed through one lotus gate after another, crossed one courtyard after another, and finally stopped at a large courtyard.

"go in!"

The captain pointed to the room in the very center and said.

The room was decorated with a large red embroidered ball and the character for "happiness" hanging from the lintel, giving it an impressive appearance.

Just as Lin Ping was about to push open the door and enter, the captain warned him, "Don't wander around, or you'll die a horrible death!"

"Understood, understood!"

Lin Ping nodded frantically.

Even if the captain hadn't said anything, he wouldn't have dared to wander around in a place like the city lord's mansion.

What if some clueless guard mistook him for an assassin? Wouldn't he then meet his demise in the Northwest?

Lin Ping just wanted to lie low and figure out the situation of the city lord's mansion step by step.

As for the tasks assigned by the system, they can only be put on hold for the time being.

Upon entering the room, Lin Ping was captivated by its exquisite decor.

Judging from the layout and decoration of the house, this is very likely the boudoir of the Iron-Faced Princess.

She didn't want to go through the wedding ceremony with him, but she still wanted him to enter her boudoir.

What kind of logic is this?

Could it be that he was used as a tool for the Iron-Faced Princess to satisfy her lust?

Thinking about this, Lin Ping felt a chill run down his spine.

That's a woman who can scale walls and fight on the battlefield.

How could someone of his small stature possibly withstand it?

But he couldn't stop the other party from forcing their way in.

If someone is too handsome but lacks the ability to protect themselves, then their good looks become their original sin.

Therefore, boys must take good care of themselves when they go out.

Lin Ping considered various ways to resist, but they were all quickly rejected.

As it turns out, in the face of absolute power, all resistance is futile.

He might even ignite the Iron-Faced Princess's desire to conquer, making her resistance increasingly fierce.

Just as Lin Ping was at his wit's end, a woman's soft voice came from outside the door.

"Young Master, are you there?"
