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

Seeing Shen Li's disdainful look, Jia Daoshi smiled and said, "Wife, don't forget, I still have mechanical beasts!"

Upon hearing Jia Daoshi's words, Shen Li realized that Jia Daoshi's mechanical beast was indeed a formidable fighting force.

However, she was not relieved by this, and instead said:

“My lord, I know that mechanical beasts are powerful, but their numbers are limited. The Kushan Empire’s cavalry, on the other hand, are far too numerous, and among them are many skilled warriors. Some exceptionally talented barbarians can even reach nine feet in height! Once they don their armor, their combat prowess is truly astonishing! Moreover, they have wolf riders and bear riders! Each of these cavalrymen could wipe out a hundred-man squad!”

Upon hearing Shen Li's words, Jia Daoshi was speechless!

What the hell?

And what about wolf riders and bear riders?

This is outrageous!

If we add those experts to the mix, then...

It seems we need to build artillery as soon as possible!

Jia Daoshi thought to himself.

“Ah Li, don’t worry, your husband still has a trump card up his sleeve!” Jia Daoshi said after thinking for a moment.

"Are there any trump cards?"

Hearing Jia Daoshi's words, Shen Li's curiosity was piqued again: "Can these trump cards of yours really help us win this battle?"

"Of course!" Jia Daoshi said with certainty. "Ali, do you know what your husband is afraid of right now?"

"You have things you're afraid of?" Shen Li was taken aback.

"Could it be that they're afraid our Cliff City will be besieged?"

If Cliff City is besieged, then things will really get complicated!

Jia Daoshi smiled and shook his head, saying, "Of course not. What I'm worried about now is that we can't annihilate all 500,000 barbarian cavalry!"

Shen Li: "Huh!!??"

She felt like she was hallucinating.

I couldn't quite grasp that concept in my mind!

It's not about stopping these 500,000 iron cavalry, it's about annihilating them completely?

Isn't this just wishful thinking?

If someone can't beat you, they'll just turn around and run away. Who can catch them?

"My lord, have you lost your mind?" Shen Li punched Jia Daoshi in the chest!

"Ouch!"

Jia Daoshi suddenly cried out in pain.

"Huh? What's going on? I don't think I used any force just now?" Shen Li was confused.

Jia Daoshi pretended to clutch his chest, then said with a pained expression, "Ah Li, I'm fine. I just suffered a minor injury when I was dealing with the leader behind the Green Turban Army."

"A minor injury? For someone to get hurt, the mastermind behind the Green Turban Army must be quite something! Do you feel any pain anywhere?" Shen Li asked with some concern.

"I don't feel any pain anywhere, but I feel like there's something stuck in my chest, and I'm having trouble breathing. Ah Li, can you help me? I feel like it's getting harder and harder to breathe!" Jia Daoshi said, holding Shen Li's hand.

Outside the door, Rouya had just carried a pot of tea into the corridor when she heard these words from inside. She immediately stopped and thought to herself, "That Jia Tisi is teasing my prince again. With his physique, he could go three days and three nights without sleep and be fine, yet he claims he can't breathe! I bet he's just seeing my prince struggling to breathe!"

Despite her complaints, Rouya is a very considerate girl. After finding out what happened, she went to the gate of the yard.

"The Prince and Jia Tisi have military secrets to discuss. All of you, stand guard a hundred paces away! Listen carefully, no unauthorized personnel are allowed to approach!"

"Yes!"

After dismissing the guards behind the courtyard gate, Rouya revealed a playful smile and quietly slipped back into the corridor!

Our prince is a beauty of unparalleled grace; which man wouldn't be tempted by him? It's just that Jia Tisi, that big jerk, got off easy. He already has so many beautiful women at home, yet he still tried to take advantage of our prince.

At this moment, in the study, Jia Daoshi's face showed a very painful expression.

Seeing Jia Daoshi's appearance, Shen Li couldn't help but worry: "Hey! What's wrong with you?"

Jia Daoshi shook his head and said, "I just feel a little short of breath, and my body feels like the energy inside is out of balance, like it's on fire!"

"Burning like fire? This is internal energy going berserk, causing an imbalance of yin and yang?" Shen Li frowned.

As she spoke, Shen Li placed her hand on Jia Daoshi's chest to check: "Oh! It's really hot! Quickly take off your coat, let me see!"

The weather was already quite warm at this time, so everyone was wearing only a thin layer of clothing.

Jia Daoshi casually pulled, and the robe came off.

Shen Li extended her jade-like hand and placed it on Jia Daoshi's body, channeling her inner energy into him to check his injuries.

However, after a thorough check, no abnormalities were found!

"Strange, apart from being a bit hot, everything else seems normal."

As she spoke, Shen Li looked up at Jia Daoshi with her watery eyes and asked, "My lord, is there something wrong with the Dragon Elephant Divine Skill you've been practicing?"

The Dragon Elephant Divine Skill is the most powerful and yang-like martial art in the world. Before Jia Daoshi, only the successive emperors of the Great Qing Dynasty could practice it.

"That's possible," Jia Daoshi nodded.

"Then why don't you try circulating your internal energy yourself?" Shen Li seemed to understand something and blinked as she spoke.

"Ah Li, I've tried it, but it doesn't seem to work." Jia Daoshi sighed. "How about you help me, like before?"

"Forehead……"

The Dragon Elephant Divine Skill is extremely powerful and yang. After cultivating it to the sixth level, Jia Daoshi would occasionally experience this situation.

The simplest way to resolve this situation is to harmonize Yin and Yang.

In this way, not only Jia Daoshi, but also his wife will experience a surge in their martial arts skills.

Shen Li had tried it once with Jia Daoshi before.

"Is this...really going to be like this?" Two blushes appeared on Shen Li's delicate and pretty face. After all, this was a study, but absence makes the heart grow fonder. Although she said this, she put her arms around Jia Daoshi's neck.

"I think this is the only way," Jia Daoshi said with a smile.

As he spoke, Jia Daoshi reached out and hugged Shen Li's slender waist.

Shen Li's body involuntarily leaned back, gently resting against the desk, her stubble slightly sunken in.

Jia Daoshi whispered in Shen Li's ear, "Ah Li, this time the Kushan Empire has 500,000 iron cavalry coming with great force. If Juebi City really can't be defended, promise me that you must listen to me when the time comes!"

Shen Li frowned: "My lord! I believe that if we work together, we can definitely defeat them! You mustn't say such discouraging things again! Otherwise, I won't heal your wounds..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Li's mouth was covered by Jia Daoshi's.

Shen Li gradually became lost in Jia Daoshi's strong and powerful arms...

……

I don’t know how long it took.

"My lord, is your body still in pain?" Shen Li nestled against Jia Daoshi's chest, her eyes half-closed.

"Much better," Jia Daoshi nodded.

But as soon as she finished speaking, Shen Li sensed that Jia Daoshi was starting to get restless again. She blushed and spat, "My lord! You big bad guy! Are you never going to stop now?!"
