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

After listening to Jia Daoshi's words, Ji Bingyan thought about it and was still a little uneasy.

"The mastermind behind this Green Turban Army is mysterious and elusive. Our court has been searching for him for so long, but we have no news. Although the Seven Heroes of Southern Xinjiang and Mr. Poison have a certain influence here, is it really possible to find the other party's whereabouts in such a short time?"

Hearing Ji Bingyan's question, Jia Daoshi nodded: "This is actually not difficult. Do you remember the mastermind behind the Green Turban Army? They captured a lot of martial arts practitioners and used their blood and flesh to refine the Life-Devouring Pill?"

"Of course I remember, could it be..." Ji Bingyan immediately came to her senses after Jia Daoshi's prompting.

“That’s right. Recently, martial arts figures have been disappearing mysteriously, and the places they’ve been disappearing in are the same places that the Seven Heroes of Southern Xinjiang and Mr. Poison just mentioned. It seems that the mastermind behind this has made another move in order to refine the Life-Devouring Pill,” Jia Daoshi nodded.

This matter is actually very serious, but the number of martial arts figures who have disappeared is not large. Only veterans like the Seven Heroes of Southern Xinjiang and Mr. Poison can detect it and make the corresponding judgment.

"It seems we can use ourselves as bait," Ji Bingyan suddenly said. "Since this guy needs the flesh and blood of experts to refine the Life-Devouring Pill, aren't we experts ourselves? With the information about the Illusionary Sound Box, we're not afraid he won't take the bait!"

"Your Excellency has quite the courage!" Jia Daoshi exclaimed with surprise.

When Ji Bingyan saw Jia Daoshi's expression, she rolled her eyes. Clearly, this guy was making fun of her!

If you don't even have this much courage, how can you lead the Blood Droplets? How can you be the leader?

"There's one more thing. This time when we went to the Martial God Temple, none of the major forces in the martial arts world got what they wanted. Only we know about the Illusionary Sound Box. How could they believe us?" Ji Bingyan had one last question.

The Illusionary Sound Box is their biggest secret on this voyage. Nobody knows about it. So how can we be sure that the mastermind behind it will take the bait?

“Based on my deduction, this mysterious mastermind must have secretly arranged for someone to accompany us out to sea. As for who this person is, I haven’t confirmed it yet.” Jia Daoshi pondered for a moment. “As long as word gets out that we’ve arrived, given their suspicious nature, they will definitely be unable to resist making a move!”

"Moreover, he went to such great lengths to refine the Life-Devouring Pill in order to create a master of the Divine Ascension Realm. No one can resist such a temptation!"

After hearing Jia Daoshi's words, Ji Bingyan's eyes showed a thoughtful look. She felt as if she had thought of something, but this information was like a gust of wind. She wanted to reach out and grab it, but she couldn't grasp it no matter what she did!

Soon, the night deepened.

The four Blood Droplets, Tianlang, Bu Bajia, Hou Jia Shisan, and Guarjiamusen, have already arranged their night watch duties, and the rest of the people have gone into their tents to rest.

Ji Bingyan and Jia Daoshi returned to their respective tents.

However, Ji Bingyan did not go to sleep immediately after returning to her tent.

After removing her mask and applying some makeup, she put on her cloak and quietly left her tent.

Not far from her was Jia Daoshi's tent.

At this point, Jia Daoshi had already washed his face and soaked his feet, but he wasn't going to sleep.

As for why, it's because he's waiting for his wife to come and fulfill her promise.

"This guy is both lovable and annoying!"

Ji Bingyan inwardly complained. The thought of another sleepless night reminded her of why Yi Qianxiao had tried so hard to persuade her to marry Jia Daoshi.

However, she actually quite liked this feeling...

Feeling her heart pounding faster, Ji Bingyan didn't hesitate any longer. She pulled back the curtain and stepped into the tent.

But just as she stepped one foot into the tent, she was pulled into a strong, warm embrace!

Ji Bingyan was startled and tried to cry out, but the next second, her cherry-like mouth was sealed shut again.

After a brief period of blankness, the brain responds enthusiastically...

……

"Hmm? I thought I heard a woman's voice just now? It sounded like the Chief..."

Near the distant campfire, Bu Bajia, who was on night watch, seemed to sense something and turned his head towards the camp with some confusion.

All I could see were several tents, all dark and quiet.

"Did I hear wrongly?"

Bu Bajia thought for a moment, then got up and tried to walk toward Ji Bingyan's tent, but stopped after a few steps.

"Alright, the journey must be tiring, let's not disturb the Chief's rest. I hope the Chief can get a good night's sleep..."

As a devoted admirer of Ji Bingyan, Bu Bajia rallied his spirits and began his night watch.

……

the next day.

Having enjoyed a night of refreshing moisture, Ji Bingyan got up before dawn.

However, when she stepped out of the tent, she was a little flustered and her legs were a little weak, so she didn't realize that her actions had been watched by someone from beginning to end.

This person was Guargiamusen, the fourth person to be on night watch.

"Hmm? Strange, Chief, why did you come out of Jatis's tent?" Guargiamusen asked with some curiosity in his eyes.

"They're probably discussing their next move. Your Excellency has really worked hard."

After a brief moment of doubt, Guargiamusen didn't dwell on it.

After all, she was a tomboy who didn't understand love and had absolutely no interest in matters between men and women.

……

After a brief period of washing and adjusting her breathing, Ji Bingyan stepped out of her tent and began to plan the next part of the trip.

At this moment, Ji Bingyan reverted to her previous aloof and domineering demeanor as the head of the household.

After Jia Daoshi was released, Ji Bingyan maintained a certain distance from him.

Jia Daoshi simply smiled faintly at Ji Bingyan's reaction, understanding the situation perfectly.

After all, last night's battle was incredibly fierce, and the fact that the other side had to grit their teeth and not make any big noise was truly agonizing.

If his subordinates found out that their leader had been... you know... late at night, how would they manage him in the future?

There's nothing we can do about it. Jia Daoshi is an honest man who doesn't engage in deception. He only does what he's capable of.

So when Ji Bingyan woke up in the morning, she was still a little angry and didn't pay any attention to Jia Daoshi.

However, even though Ji Bingyan was avoiding Jia Daoshi, Jia Daoshi wouldn't let her off the hook.

"Your Excellency, you're up so early. Did you not sleep well last night?" Jia Daoshi asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ji Bingyan nearly stumbled!

Asking questions knowingly!

Do you think you don't know whether I'm sleeping well or not, you scoundrel!
