Chapter 87 The glory and ugliness co-existed! (1)
It was night. Zhao Zimu returned to Lin Qing’s mansion this time as scheduled. Sure enough, that person was waiting for her. It was just that tonight, this person probably has bad thoughts…
It could be seen that the table in front of the bed had been deliberately brought in by people that Lin Qing ordered. On it was full of exquisite delicacies and delicious food. Of course, how could there be no wine in such similar scenes of a trap in the plays?
It was just that she didn’t know if this jar of wine prepared for her by Lin Qing would have something added to it…
The person adorned in a single-layered clothing, had already set up the wine cups and sat at the table waiting for her. This posture…
Zhao Zimu became prostrated with fear…
“Lord Qiansui?” Even the way she called him had changed.
“Mm, come here,” Lin Qing said. While speaking, he deliberately let the already loose clothes, loosen more skillfully. From the neck, one could see the snow-white skin and one red plum. Matched with the deliberately flattering eyes of the man, it made the person in front of her look more vibrant.
Zhao Zimu’s eyelids twitched unconsciously and felt that the matter seemed to have become more intractable. However, her eyes couldn’t help but glance at Lin Qing’s body. It could be seen that Lin Qing’s physical condition was better than before.
This wasn’t a casual conjecture of Zhao Zimu. It was rather that ever since Zhao Zimu fed Lin Qing the pill from Qingyu’s master from time to time, his yin based constitution had begun to improve. His complexion had also become rosy. If it wasn’t because his chin was still clean, Zhao Zimu would’ve wondered if the pill had cured him from being a eunuch.
It was just that Lin Qing showed so much enthusiasm, that it would be weird if Zhao Zimu didn’t suspect that he had ulterior motives.
She walked slowly to the table and sat down. Lin Qing poured a cup of wine for her and placed it gently in front of her. Zhao Zimu glanced at it and then drank it.
“These days, I have pondered about it and still feel that your plan is not right. I’m worried about you being in the army by yourself. Daggers and swords don’t have eyes. It is too dangerous. Also, my power has reached the sky. You don’t have to do this for me. Even if you don’t do this, I still have a way to settle everything in court. So, come back. Don’t go anymore. Wouldn’t it be nice to be with me all the time?” Lin Qing said.
“We are two trees that had grow together as one. How could I not know the hardship of yearning for each other? I understand your mind.” But why would you evade mine?
“Regardless of the flames of war, the firearm in the open or attacked by a hidden enemy, you are the only one who can let me do this.” Zhao Zimu reached into his thick clothes and stroked his smooth skin. “You should understand, even if you stop me, I will still do it.”
“Is there no room for discussion,” Lin Qing asked. At the same time, he endured the warmth and tingling that he felt under her palm.
“If it was you, what would you have done?” Zhao Zimu asked.
Lin Qing stopped talking. Zhao Zimu laughed softly, “Did you add something to the incense? And also the wine?”
“Why?” Zhao Zimu asked. A furnace of incense had already been burning in the room. The moment Zhao Zimu had entered, she had smelled that something was wrong with it.
Lin Qing closed his eyes for a moment and then stared at her fixedly, “Missed you.”
“So, you knew that you couldn’t persuade me? This drug was added just because you wanted,” Zhao Zimu smiled.
These two months, they either rushed on the road or Zhao Zimu had joined the army of the northwest. There were few times that they were together. Most of the time, there had been more separation. That was why Lin Qing used these things.
The incense rising in spirals distributed a faint fragrance in the room. After a gulp of wine, Zhao Zimu also began to feel her body heat up. She smiled with squinted eyes at the person in front of her. A warm touch came on her lips.
She heard someone say hoarsely at her ear, “Serve more comfortable.” She laughed. She slipped her hand onto his sensitive area and after she heard him moan once, she said, “Okay.”

In the following month, the hundred thousand soldiers sent by the court cooperated with the defending troops of several cities of the northwest to attack the Xiongnu in various ways.
However, both Great Liang and the Xiongnu knew that the battle should end here because even if Great Liang could afford it, the Xiongnu couldn’t.
Although, the soldiers of Great Liang were generally weaker than the Xiongnu cavalries, but the victory lies in the large number of people and not afraid of squandering. Great Liang could keep on both the manpower and army provision. When dealing with the Xiongnu, the tactic was basically ten against one. If they couldn’t beat one, a group would flock to that one. Although, it was very much the behavior of gangsters and the casualties were huge, but the most important thing for a war was the result. What did it matter even if many people had died?
Besides, the Xiongnu couldn’t afford too many casualties. Their population was already small. If they continue to fight, they will lose out.
Therefore, the Xiongnu withdrew from Sha City after a month and Sha City had been successfully recovered.
However, even if the Xiongnu had withdrawn their troops, during the battle of Sha-Li City, Great Liang had lost forty to fifty thousand soldiers while the Xiongnu lost less than two thousand people!
However, the victory of the northwest army was still joyously spread to the capital. Whole Great Liang was in a cheerful spirit. Zhao Zimu didn’t know what Chen Jin felt. Such victory was really hard.
Two thousand against fifty thousand, what kind of concept was this? No one seemed to think there was anything about it and were still rejoicing over this miserable victory.
