Reborn to love Lord Qiansui Chapter 135 part 1

Chapter 135 Bet on one person (1)

Lin Qing has never thought about telling Zhao Zimu what was happening here. He didn’t want to implicate her. But on the other hand, he wanted her to know what was happening here and worry about him. However, he didn’t send the letter in the end because he had known a long time ago that he wouldn’t end well. If Zhao Zimu could survive by chance, he hoped that even if he couldn’t stay with her forever, that he would still be carved in her bones and engraved in the heart.

What a contradictory way of thinking. However, he loves her. Hence, no matter how weird his way of thinking was, it was normal. Therefore, not only didn’t he inform Zhao Zimu about the situation of here, he also deliberately concealed it and prevented any news from leaking out.

But what he didn’t know was that this woman Zhao Zimu would never be controlled by others. It was the same even if that person is her lover. If that hadn’t been the case, she wouldn’t have gone to the northwest so decisively.

Aside for Lin Qing, Zhao Zimu had her own opinions and would not be easily influenced by others. Although, she is a woman, she doesn’t depend on men. So, Lin Qing could also not decide for her.

Therefore, without Lin Qing knowledge, Zhao Zimu had already received the news from the capital. After reading the letter, she didn’t say anything for a moment. Then, she raised her feet and walked towards Chen Jin’s tent.

“General! General Zhao asks for an audience!” The messenger came to report respectfully to Chen Jin.

“Which general Zhao?” Chen Jin asked confused. Although, he had already guessed it when he saw the soldier’s excited face, he was still very puzzled because Zhao Zimu hardly asked to meet him unless it was about a battle.

Now, the name Zhao Zhong was known to everyone in the northwest army. Ever since she led a troop alone, she has repeatedly made some strange strategies and took advantage of the Xiongnu. The tricks that she came up with even caused the Xiongnu to be in a mess. The Xiongnu had become so overwhelmed that they didn’t have the time to fight with them for the time being.

However, Zhao Zimu chose to harass them from time to time at this time and took advantage of them when they were overwhelmed. Not only did she bring her brothers to victory, they also gave the commodities like cattle and sheep to the ordinary citizens of the northwest.

The people in the northwest were suffering. The years of wars not only caused the number of their family members to be low, there was also no one to grow things on their lands. Even if some women planted some grains, they wouldn’t be able to harvest the few grains because a war would destroy the few seeds they had worked so hard to plant.

Therefore, there were almost no grains in the families of here. Everyone felt grateful that Zhao Zimu could think of this. Now, almost everyone in the northwest knew of the name Zhao Zhong.

A young person who could not only lead the people to fight off the Xiongnu, but also remembered the commoners. The name Zhao Zhong was almost carved on the memorial tablets, no, it was already on them. This showed what kind of existence she was in the people’s hearts.

After Chen Jin inquired, the messenger didn’t pause at all and said solemnly and in awe, “It is general Zhao Zhong!”

Chen Jin made an ‘oh’ sound and let him bring the people in. To be honest, Zhao Zimu’s achievements made him feel jealous, but if Chen Jin didn’t have a tolerant heart, how could he had tolerated his subordinates who were like wolves and tigers? Not to mention someone like Sun Wu.

Although, he was a bit jealous but he felt more pride. Zhao Zimu was someone under him. He also felt honored that someone under him could have such achievements.

After Zhao Zimu saluted Chen Jin, she said the purpose for why she came this time, “General, this subordinate wants to go back to the capital.”

Zhao Zimu spoke directly and her tone was firm. Chen Jin stared fixedly at her and asked, “Why?”

“Something happened at home and this subordinate must go back!”

“Is it your beloved wife?”

“…”

Zhao Zimu lowered her head and didn’t spoke. Chen Jin stared at Zhao Zimu and said, “Last time you already submitted a memorial that you wanted to return to the capital and had been rejected. I remember that last year you asked me to give you a half-month leave to go visit your parents and wife. Although, I have punished you with thirty beatings, I still approved it. However, Zhao Zhong, can you explain to me now why you came back when you ran into Jiu Qiansui? I gave you a half-month leave, you only spent seven days without any complaint. Do you really think that I have not heard the rumors from the army? Qiansui lay in the general’s tent and it was unknown whether you are cut sleeves.”

• Cut sleeves: homosexual

Zhao Zimu, “…”

This was spread by someone with ulterior motive when Lin Qing came last year. However, it stopped after Lin Qing left. God knows if it was because those people saw that it wasn’t a good attack or that Lin Qing did something before he left. Anyway, she didn’t hear anything anymore. Even if she heard something, she wouldn’t care…

Unexpectedly, Chen Jin heard it and remembered it until now.

Chen Jin looked at Zhao Zimu’s expressionless face and said, “Do you think that I haven’t sent someone to investigate your background? Even if you use Lin Qing’s name, but you are so talented that it is impossible for you not to be noticed. It is also reasonable for me to send someone to investigate you.”

Zhao Zimu continued to listen expressionlessly to Chen Jin, “It is a pity that aside from being Lin Qing’s subordinate, nothing else was found. So, I guess that if your identity isn’t too secretive then, it is as simple as it is on the surface. You are just someone of Lin Qing. Someone that Lin Qing had cultivated. Without family, friends and relatives, everything you have is Lin Qing’s and related to Lin Qing!”
