Marrying a Disabled General and be His Wife

Chapter 42



All the dancers retreated, along with the serving maids, but only Tan Chuyan stayed close to his companion.

Su Zai, the prefect, looked at the man dissatisfied, his eyes rolled twice, showing a vicious look.

“He Erri,” Su Zai reminded, “Don’t forget what you came here to do today.”

He Erri had a big beard, was rough, and covered in wolf skin. He looked like a Xibo people at first glance.

He drank the wine that Tan Chuyan poured in one gulp, looked at Tan Chuyan greedily, and said loudly, “Don’t worry, I didn’t forget.”

He Erri reluctantly looked away, “We can just say what we need to say, I guarantee this woman won’t be able to tell a word.”

Su Zai frowned, “Don’t kill people in my house. If you drop a single blood, I will never let you get this batch of supplies.”

“Even if I were biased towards you, what can you do to me if I kills people in your house?”

He Erri looked at Su Zai provocatively, “Don’t forget, the reason why you became the prefect of the thirty-six cities of Pingchuan is because of our Xibo’s efforts. To us, you are just a dog – do you understand?”

Su Zai’s thin figure trembled; his face looked ferocious for a moment, and then he smiled, “As long as you are happy, I’m just talking too much. Why don’t we talk about how this batch of materials is traded.”

“To be honest, I hate you Central Plains people very much,” He Erri said, “Each one is more hypocritical than the other. You obviously relied on us to get your position, and now you still wanting to talk business with us, why don’t you just do your best?”

“How can you say that?” Su Zai said, “I can’t compare to you. In order to attack the Jing Kingdom legitimately, you even sacrificed your own princess.”

He Erri slapped the table hard, “What do you know? This is the glory of Princess Changle, and she will become Xibo’s hero!”

Hearing this, Tan Chuyan’s heart was filled with turmoil.

Wrong, all wrong!

They always thought that a third person was messing up the situation, but they didn’t think about Xibo at all.

Everything was directed and acted by Xi Bo. They killed their princess, then pretended to know nothing about it and would send troops to the Jing Kingdom as soon as the news of Tuoba Rou’s death came out!

But why was Xibo still able to keep his composure now? They should already know about Ai Xia pretending to be Tuoba Rou.

Unless——

Xibo still had a backup plan!

.

Su Zai and He Erri were still talking.

Su Zai said, “I don’t care whether you are honorable or not. If you want to take away this batch of supplies, you must give me one million taels of silver and promise that after the Central Plains is captured, you will let the thirty-six cities of Pingchuan stand on their own.”

‘You want to separate yourself from one side,’ Feng Chilie thought as he laid on the roof.

He Erri tried to hug Tan Chuyan, but he avoided it deftly. He Erri turned his head and glanced at him, seeing fear in his eyes. He thought the dancer probably frightened.

He Erri was not angry, so he picked up the wine jar next to him, drank a few big gulps from the jar, and cursed, “Old man, you are really good at scheming!”

One million taels of silver and a promise, the way forward was open, and the way back was left open.

Even if they broke the contract then, Su Zai could still use one million taels of silver to recruit troops and have the ability to protect himself.

But Xibo really needed this batch of supplies now; otherwise, even if a war was launched, their soldiers would freeze to death in the heavy snow.

“Okay! I promise you this.” He Erri smashed the wine jar, “I heard that the King of Chu has brought out a lot of supplies. When the time comes, the three hundred thousand taels of silver will be left, and I will make up another seven hundred thousand.”

“I can’t give you this batch of supplies,” Su Zai said, “The person who came to provide relief this time is Feng Chilie. If he discovers our transaction, let alone taking the supplies, your life will be left here.”

“Am I afraid of him?” He Erri was full of confidence, “With the bravest hero of our Xibo, sitting in charge, that little boy will definitely be dead!”

Wait!

Tan Chuyan’s hands on his knees clenched slightly.

The bravest hero in Xibo was Tuoba Lan.

If this was the case, the people who sent assassins on him in Jing Kingsom before, as well as the people who intercepted Feng Chilie this time, all had the answers.

In order to help Xibo attack the Central Plains, in order to make the Central Plains more chaotic, Tuoba Lan was nailed to the ground of the Central Plains like a nail. She was Xibo’s eyes and Xibo’s knife. He didn’t know how many things she had done secretly.

But this was too contradictory. When Tuoba Lan just got married, he helped Jing Kingdom build the iron-walled Wolf Eagle Cavalry to protect the land of Jing Kingdom.

Why would she betray them now?

Tan Chuyan couldn’t figure out the reason. He just felt this game of chess was getting harder and harder to play. Now he was already struggling even before he faced Great Yong’s famous empress dowager. How would he do in the future?

Moreover, listening to these two people, there should be people from Xibo in Qi Kingdom, and their status was not low. Otherwise, how could Su Zai be allowed to take the position of prefect.

Qi and Jing Kingdom had been infiltrated by Xibo, so were Zhao and Great Yong still safe?

Tan Chuyan felt chills running down his spine.

No, this deal should never go through!

.

After He Erri talked with Su Zai, He Erri grabbed Tan Chuyan’s arm like a pair of iron pincers and pulled him into the carriage.

Along the way, He Erri was very honest until he entered the An-xiang Building in the Pingchuan, he was like a beast in heat, rushing towards Tan Chuyan.

Tan Chuyan’s hands were grabbed by He Erri, and the man pressed him on the tread board.

He Erri looked at Tan Chuyan with some curiosity, “Why didn’t you scream? Weren’t you still scared just now?”

“I think,” Tan Chuyan narrowed his eyes and smiled like a fox, “It should be miserable. You were the one should be scared.”

He Erri was stunned, “What do you mean?”

“Didn’t you notice?” Tan Chuyan said, “Since you moved in, there hasn’t been a single guest in the building.”

“Then what about it?” He Erri said, “How can everyone be in the building in the middle of the night?”

“Oh,” Tan Chuyan said casually, “Then you really underestimate the An-xiang Building I opened. I should have been working day and night, but now I have been silent for more than half a month just for you. How do you think the profit for this half month should be low?”

He Erri did not react.

Feng Chilie, who broke in through the window at this time, was also stunned, but he still kicked He Erri away as quickly as possible.

Feng Chilie’s foot was as heavy as a thousand pounds, and he kicked two of He Erri’s ribs on the spot. He pulled Tan Chuyan up and looked him up and down.

Except for the redness of his wrists, there were no other scars on his body.

However, the clothes were too thin, and the tips of Tan Chuyan’s nose and ears turned red from the cold.

Feng Chilie took off his clothes and put them on him, glared at him fiercely, and then pulled him behind him.

It could be said that Tan Chuyan was naturally a flirtatious person.

He kissed Feng Chilie gently on the back of his neck through the thin veil, his tone was a bit reproachful and a bit coquettish, “You came so slowly, I couldn’t help but do it myself.”
