Your Majesty, please spare Diao Chan; your yang energy is too strong.

One can imagine how devastating the blow must have been for Lü Lingqi that night.

She simply couldn't understand it, since she herself was also incredibly beautiful.

Why did Zhou Heng refuse to touch her?

If I didn't touch her, that would be fine, but you howl outside my room every day and night, what does that mean?

Can't people even get some sleep?

If you don't sleep, others will.

Don't they have any sense of public morality?

If she weren't still in Zhou Heng's hands, she would definitely show him her skills.

I'm not the delicate Diao Chan.

Some have the strength and the means...

Madam Du naturally shared the same thoughts as her.

Oh, this Madam Du is Qin Yilu's wife.

Qin Yilu was willing to offer up his wife in order to save his own life.

How could Zhou Heng be such a person?

If we let you go because of your wife, how are we any different from Lü Bu?

Besides... even if you die, your wife will still be mine, right?

Therefore, Zhou Heng did not hesitate to kill Qin Yilu directly.

Then they secretly brought Madam Du over.

However, due to the tight schedule at the time...

Therefore, he did not successfully develop the other party into his sexual partner.

He simply arranged for the other person to be placed next to his own room.

The intense scene of the attack on Ping'an County that night naturally did not escape the enemy's ears.

It is easy to imagine what this would be like for a virgin who had never experienced the ways of the world.

With such intense artillery fire, how could anyone not feel a surge of envy and a racing heart?

To be honest, she didn't have any ill feelings towards Zhou Heng.

You could even say you have a considerable amount of goodwill towards them.

Don't assume that just because Zhou Heng killed her husband, she hates him to the core.

This is indeed the case under normal circumstances.

But she had absolutely no affection for her husband.

Not to mention feelings.

Because she herself was taken away by Qin Yilu.

The other party even went so far as to murder her parents right in front of her.

I just wanted to force her to give in.

As a weak woman, she had no power to resist and could only bury this hatred in her heart.

However, Zhou Heng's appearance successfully helped her get revenge.

Naturally, she felt some gratitude towards Zhou Heng.

The key point is still...........

Qin Yilu treated her as a tool for promotion and salary increase from beginning to end.

How could she not hate that?

That's how it is in the original work.

As a husband, he used his wife as a tool for promotion and salary increases.

God knows how many bosses she'll have to be given away to.

Especially under Cao Cao, they wouldn't dare utter a single word to you.

If she hadn't later become Cao Cao's concubine...

The tragic nature of his life speaks for itself.

It is easy to imagine how tragic her fate was.

Now, Zhou Heng has emerged out of nowhere.

Although she killed her nominal husband, she did not hate him; in fact, she was grateful to him.

Because the other person at least gave her basic respect as a woman.

I didn't force her to do anything she didn't like.

Of course... even if she's forced to do things she doesn't like, she can accept it.

After all, Zhou Heng's good looks speak for themselves.

Humans are visual creatures.

Men like beautiful women, and beautiful women naturally like handsome men.

Nothing more than that.

What made her resentful was...

It's been almost two years; I've been preparing for it for two years.

They were just waiting for the other side to liberate their county town.

The other person just won't touch me?

I'd rather not touch it.

They even disappeared quietly for a year and a half.

Now that you've come back, it's as if you've forgotten you even exist.

This even made her doubt her own looks.

Has it lost its charm?

Especially when you hear the sounds of gunfire coming from right next to you.

You can imagine how they felt.

..............

Zhou Heng was naturally unaware of what was happening here.

In fact, he had indeed forgotten some of it.

After all, so much time has passed, and we only met once back then.

How could one possibly remember it so clearly?

Of course, even if he remembered, he couldn't possibly go looking for the other person as soon as he got back.

After all, having just returned, the first thing he should do is look for his wife.

It is impossible to reverse right and wrong.

And they didn't even know the other person's feelings.

What if we go there, bring the Italian cannons, and then you tell me we can't fight?

Has Ping'an County become an allied force?

What a joke.

the next day.

Zhou Heng had been directing the battle all night and had worked tirelessly all night.

Finally, dragging my tired body, I slowly walked out of the room.

"My lord, what is this...?"

Zhao Yun, who had just come to report on his work, looked at Zhou Heng, who had two black eyes, and immediately felt annoyed.

"Well, I didn't get a good night's rest last night. I was mainly making plans for our future development."

"Nothing."

"Just have your sister bring me some ginger soup."

Zhou Heng waved his hand somewhat awkwardly.

"Yes."

Soon, Zhao Yu came over with his younger sister, each carrying a bowl of ginger soup.

"You, now that you're a regional lord, how can you be so careless about your health?"

"Come to my room later, I'll give you a good back massage..."

Zhao Yu fed him ginger soup with a pained expression.

"Um, Yu'er, I have some important matters to discuss with Zilong later."

"Maybe next time."

Zhou Heng was startled.

Up until now, we're completely out of supplies and resources, and you're telling me to massage my back?

What a joke.

"Okay, but sister too, even if we haven't seen each other for a long time, you can't do this!"

"My husband..."

Zhao Yu said resentfully.

However, before she could finish speaking, Zhou Heng interrupted her.

"Zilong, what brings you here so early in the morning?"

Zhao Yun immediately understood: "Ah, the Black Mountain Army just sent some people. It seems they want to discuss some cooperation issues with us."

"Oh, the Black Mountain Army? It seems Zhang Yan finally couldn't sit still any longer."

Zhou Heng sneered.

After all this speculation, are we finally going to fall for it?

"Where is the man?"

"I've already been arranged to stay in the main hall."

"Okay, here's what you'll say: I have some things to take care of these next few days and I don't have time to see them right now. We'll talk about it in a few days."

"My lord, isn't this what you've always wanted? Why...?"

“Times have changed. If it were before, I would have welcomed him with open arms. But now, the situation has reversed. If I’m not mistaken, he must have ranked all the feudal lords in the world and confirmed that none of them could accept them before coming to find us.”

"So that's how it is. They only thought of us because nobody else wanted them. They've made us realize that we can't do without them."

"By the way, who is the person who came?"

“Wang Dang, and Zhang Ning.”

"Oh? Zhang Ning?"

Zhou Heng's eyes lit up instantly.
