The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

Jia Bingyan's face was as red as braised pork, and her eyes were stubborn.

Rather Stick to your guns.

Jia Daoshi shrugged and spread his hands, saying, "Then I can only apologize."

"I can't share the secrets of the Temple of Martial God with anyone. As for whether you can get them, that depends on your luck."

Luck my foot!

With you, Jia Dao, being so honest, who would dare to compete with you?

Even if someone else is lucky enough to get it, you'll probably snatch it away!

Ji Bingyan was so angry that she stomped her feet!

That guy is a complete scoundrel!

She wanted to turn around and leave right now, but she hesitated when she thought of the Empress's instructions.

The Empress has spent so much effort building the fleet; if she ends up with nothing, wouldn't she be ridiculed by the world?

At that time, the ruler will no longer be a ruler, and the ministers will no longer be ministers. Where will the court's prestige be? Where will the empress's authority be?

If the imperial court's authority were to collapse, countless Green Turban rebels would rise up across the land!

Anyway, your imperial court is a paper tiger!

This will make Da Jing's situation increasingly dangerous!

It can be said that the trip to the Temple of Martial Gods was crucial to the fate of the Great Jing Dynasty!

Moreover, with so many ships assembled and so many江湖人士 (jianghu figures) recruited, so many eyes are watching!

Ji Bingyan knew this, which is why she agreed to Empress Ji Wuxin's request to ask Jia Daoshi for help!

After all, Jia Daoshi had indeed had conflicts with the imperial court before.

Although the issue was later resolved, no one knows what Jia Daoshi is thinking now.

But now, Jia Daoshi's request is something she is ashamed to face!

"Alright, if you can't accept it, then please leave. I'm tired and need to go back to rest!"

Jia Daoshi got up and was about to walk out of the study.

"Wait!"

Ji Bingyan suddenly spoke, as if she had made up her mind. She walked up to Jia Daoshi and said, "If I do as you say, will you agree?"

"Of course, I, Jia Daoshi, am a man of my word, as swift as a whip!"

"Fine, if you dare to lie to this princess, I'll bite you to death!"

Ji Bingyan bit her lip, mumbled something, then blushed, stamped her foot, and threw herself into Jia Daoshi's arms...

Jia Daoshi felt a fragrant breeze waft towards him, and then he was embraced by a warm and soft woman.

He turned his head to look at the several burning candles, flicked his fingers a few times to extinguish them, leaving only a small flame that made the study warm and cozy!

What will happen next.

I understand everything I understand.

……

Two hours later.

Ji Bingyan glared at Jia Daoshi, both ashamed and angry!

"You! You broke your promise! It was only supposed to be a hug! And yet you..."

Ji Bingyan no longer has the strength to even curse.

"They said they would only hug me once, but they didn't say how long the hug would last."

Jia Daoshi looked refreshed and in high spirits.

Faced with such shameless words, Ji Bingyan was so angry that she was speechless!

After all, the other party is too shameless!

Even if she tried to bite it with her teeth, she probably wouldn't be able to bite through it.

If she hadn't been a match at all, she would have really wanted to drag this guy to the school field and beat him up!

Let him know how powerful he is as the leader of the Blood Droplets!

But she also knew that this idea could only remain a thought.

If we turn against each other now, all our previous efforts will have been in vain!

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down: "I've done what you asked for, now it's your turn!"

"That's how it should be, but..."

"But what? Do you intend to go back on your word?" Ji Bingyan's expression changed.

She never expected that after all her efforts, this guy would try to cheat her after taking advantage of her!

Simply unbearable!

How can a person be so shameless?

Seeing the murderous glare in Ji Bingyan's eyes, Jia Daoshi couldn't help but smile and say, "According to our previous agreement, I certainly won't go back on my word, but..."

He was interrupted halfway through his sentence by Ji Bingyan: "Jia Daoshi, what exactly do you want? Can't you just say it all at once!"

At this moment, she simply couldn't accept that she had been bullied to this extent, and the other party was still making excuses!

For a moment, Ji Bingyan felt extremely wronged, and her eyes turned red!

Seeing his wife's pitiful appearance, Jia Daoshi stopped teasing her and instead took her into his arms, patted her head, and comforted her, "I didn't say I wouldn't agree, why are you so anxious?"

Upon hearing that Jia Daoshi had no intention of going back on his word, Ji Bingyan's mood immediately improved.

"So what exactly do you mean?!"

She really couldn't understand what this guy was trying to do.

"Actually, what I wanted to say is that although I now have the sea chart and two keys, the vast ocean makes finding even a small island incredibly difficult. Furthermore, I have no idea where the remaining key is..."

"I'm just afraid that I'll end up with nothing."

What Jia Daoshi said was not without reason.

According to Murong Jiu, the Great Qing Martial God Palace was established during the reign of Emperor Qing Tai, but that was more than a thousand years ago!

The time interval is far too long!

Moreover, no one can guarantee the situation at sea!

Murong Jiu's father also sent out a fleet to search for them, but none of them survived!

It is conceivable that on the vast ocean, skill level alone is not enough.

As for the remaining key!

According to rumors, it is in the hands of Emperor Zhan Yunqian of the Longwu Dynasty!

However, since the turmoil at the Martial God Temple has lasted for so long, Zhan Yunqian has not made any moves, so no one knows what he is thinking.

What are they planning!

"So that's the problem." Ji Bingyan frowned slightly after hearing Jia Daoshi's explanation.

She also knew that Jia Daoshi was right.

For the Central Plains region, the overseas world has always been shrouded in mystery.

Nobody knows what's in the sea.

Legend has it that there are fairy mountains overseas, offering the chance to become an immortal, but that remains just a legend.

More importantly, there is a crisis that is everywhere!

Because many martial arts figures who went out to sea in search of treasure were left forever at sea and never returned!

"Regarding the maritime issue, His Majesty has already consulted the master of the Fengtao Twelve Towers, Yu Yanshu. She is proficient in astrology, geomancy, and feng shui. With her assistance, along with the nautical charts, we should be able to find the location of the Martial God Temple smoothly."

"As for the key in the hands of Emperor Zhan Yunqian of the Longwu Dynasty, given his personality, he definitely won't sit still. As long as we go to sea, he will surely follow!"

After hearing Ji Bingyan's words, Jia Daoshi said, "In that case, let's proceed according to the original plan."

Since the Empress has already made preparations, he naturally has no objections.

Besides, with everything prepared, he can save himself a lot of trouble.

"I don't care, you have to get this sorted out for me! I need to know the secrets of the Martial God Temple!"

After their recent interaction, Ji Bingyan's way of speaking changed; she started to act coquettishly.

Jia Daoshi nodded and smiled, "Since my wife has given the order, how could I dare disobey?"

"However, my wife, in this situation, I would like to compose a poem."

"Huh? What poem?" Ji Bingyan was taken aback.

"My grandmother once told me that it's a pipe dream for children to follow in their fathers' footsteps. Live a good life and work hard, and a bright future awaits you!"

Ji Bingyan was completely bewildered: "This is what you call poetry? This can be considered poetry?"

Jia Daoshi chuckled: "My lady, you should savor this."
