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

As one of the two most outstanding figures in the Grand View Garden, Shen Li was very familiar with Ming Yuexin's little thoughts.

If I don't stop her, it probably won't be long before Mingyue Xin sneaks into her husband's bed!

"Hmph! Mingyue Xin, no matter what your purpose is, you will ultimately be disappointed!"

Shen Li chuckled inwardly.

Soon, Jia Daoshi led Mingyue Xin and Yu Feihong into the city lord's mansion.

Upon arriving at the main hall of the city lord's mansion, Rouya immediately went to brew some tea.

This tea is quite special; it's Jia Daoshi's latest blend of peach blossom mist!

Once you have one cup, you'll want a second, until you can't live without it!

"General Ming, Sister Yu, you must have had a long and tiring journey to Juebi City. This tea is made with Daoshi's exclusive secret recipe and is called Peach Blossom Mist. Drinking it can improve blood circulation, enhance your skills, and relieve fatigue. Please try it."

After hearing Shen Li's words, Yu Feihong didn't think much of it and directly picked up the teacup in front of her and drank it.

Yu Feihong and Shen Li have a very good relationship, so naturally she wouldn't suspect that there might be something wrong with the tea.

But Mingyue Xin, who was standing next to her, had doubts.

Over the years, Mingyue Xin has often traveled the martial arts world, and there are often lecherous men who try to drug her tea and wine.

Over time, Mingyue Xin became very careful about what she ate and drank outside.

The same thing happened now. She originally wanted to use her internal energy to check, but after seeing that Yu Feihong drank it all in one gulp without any problems, she relaxed her guard.

Once the tea was deemed safe, Mingyue Xin smiled slightly, picked up the tea in front of her, and took a small sip.

With just this small sip, Mingyue felt a warm current slowly flowing from her throat to her lower abdomen, and then from her lower abdomen to her limbs and meridians, making her feel extremely comfortable!

Only then did Mingyue Xin realize that this tea was unusual!

Seeing that Mingyue Xin and Yu Feihong had already drunk the Peach Blossom Mist, Jia Daoshi smiled slightly and then asked, "I wonder what brings Young General Ming and Sister Yu to Juebi City?"

Yu Feihong smiled and said, "The two of us were originally tracking down a small group of barbarian bandits in this area. After hearing that the Kushan Empire's army was about to march south, we came to Cliff City to see if there was anything we could do to help."

Help? The two of you women alone can't really be of much help.

Jia Daoshi laughed and said, "I see. Then I wonder if you have been able to track down the bandits?"

"Not yet." Yu Feihong shook her head. "Jia Tisi, I heard that the Kushan barbarians are going to gather 500,000 iron cavalry this time, while the garrison of the cliff city in the southwest region, plus the Iron Forest Army, only has 70,000 troops. I wonder if they can stop the Kushan Empire's 500,000 iron cavalry?"

Upon hearing Yu Feihong's words, Jia Daoshi understood. The Ming family didn't want to send troops north; they wanted to sit back and watch the tigers fight, hoping to reap the benefits.

However, having come this far, Jia Daoshi was unequivocal: "So what if there are 500,000 troops? As long as I, Jia Daoshi, live, I will never allow these barbarians to march south and harm the people of the Central Plains!"

This……

Yu Feihong and Mingyue Xin were both somewhat surprised after hearing this.

This Jia Daoshi doesn't have a very good reputation in the martial arts world.

Not only was he lustful, but he was also bloodthirsty. Those who offended him in the martial arts world, who did they have a good ending?

But now, for the sake of completely unrelated people, you are actually willing to sacrifice your life for righteousness?

Seeing Jia Daoshi's excited expression, Shen Li, sitting next to him, couldn't help but start to complain in her heart.

Although Jia Daoshi usually acted this way, he would never have shown it so obviously, much less in such an exaggerated manner.

He's acting so exaggeratedly now.

Clearly, this guy was trying to show off in front of Mingyue Xin again. It's understandable, given that Mingyue Xin possesses beauty and status that rivals his own, making it easy for her to arouse a man's desire to conquer her.

In fact, Shen Li was still too young. Jia Daoshi was interested in more than just Ming Yuexin; he was also very interested in Yu Feihong.

If it were just Mingyue Xin, Jia Daoshi might not have been interested.

If the Ming family army chooses to remain neutral at this point, he wouldn't mind taking action against these two women.

At this moment, Mingyue Xin frowned slightly. She actually wanted to lead her troops north to support Juebi City.

However, her father did not agree. Instead, he told her to first win over Jia Daoshi and see if she could extract his secrets.

However, under these circumstances, completing the task would obviously be very difficult!

It is estimated that the first thing to do is to repel the invasion of the Kushan Empire!

Furthermore, if the imperial court does not send reinforcements and his own father does not provide support, and Jia Daoshi insists on holding out to the death, then the outcome may not be optimistic!

Because the martial arts world and the battlefield are completely different things.

Even if you are invincible in the martial arts world, once you arrive on the battlefield, even a lowly soldier could take your life.

On the battlefield, there are no rules of the game, only the overwhelming force of an army!

Even with superb agility, profound inner strength, and unparalleled swordsmanship, you cannot withstand a thousand troops. When you are on the battlefield and have killed the hundredth person, you can still remain calm and composed, displaying unparalleled martial arts in the flashing sword light, as if you can control the entire battlefield.

However, when you've killed a thousand people, even an ordinary expert's breathing becomes disordered, and their sword begins to dull. With each swing of the sword, they may have to fight with all their might!

When you've killed your five thousandth person, your inner strength will be exhausted!

But in front of you, there are rows and rows of soldiers, fully armed and ready to fight!

They were like a tide, blotting out the sky!

At this point, people in the martial arts world will realize that even the most skilled martial artists are no match for the immense wealth and military achievements that can lead to titles and honors.

After Jia Daoshi truly dies in battle, there may never be a chance to know what Jia Daoshi actually obtained from the Temple of Martial God!

But at that moment, Jia Daoshi laughed and said, "General Ming, Sister Yu, if you have nothing else to do, you can stay in Juebi City for a few days. Of course, if you have something to do, you can leave first. After I have repelled the barbarian attack, we can drink and have fun together!"

Jia Daoshi's move was a classic case of feigning indifference to lure the enemy into a trap.

Anyway, after drinking the Peach Blossom Mist, Mingyue Xin and Yu Feihong will definitely be inseparable from him.

Moreover, this Ming Heying is really cunning and treacherous. If we don't teach him a lesson this time, he will really think that Jia Daoshi is a brainless brute!

Mingyue Xin replied calmly, "Alright! Thank you very much, Jia Tisi. I plan to stay in Juebi City for two days before leaving."

"Jia Tisi, the Battle of Juebi City concerns the safety of our Great Jing. This young general will certainly not stand idly by!"

Mingyue Xin's plan was to wait until Jia Daoshi and the Kushan barbarians were both exhausted, then she would lead her troops north, drive back the barbarians, then have Jia Daoshi fake his death, escort him back to the Ming family, and then slowly extract the secrets from Jia Daoshi!

This should be a fairly feasible plan!

In any case, before obtaining the true secrets of the Great Qing Martial God Temple, the Ming family cannot openly oppose the Great Jing Dynasty!

The conflict between the Ming family and the imperial court should not be brought to light prematurely!

Unlike the court officials and the various martial arts sects, the Ming family knows what the current Empress relies on! Without absolute certainty, the Ming family will not hastily make enemies of the Empress!

To outsiders, the Empress merely ascended the throne by leveraging the power of the late Emperor and her own martial arts prowess.

However, the Ming family was well aware of how terrifying the Empress was!
