Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

She listened attentively to Qian Wuyi's "report," showing no sign of perfunctoriness, and even offered some opinions or suggestions.

To Zuo Chang, these opinions and suggestions were absolutely incisive and to the point!

Seeing that General Li was using her experience in managing 9799 to teach Qian Wuyi, this young upstart, how to use power correctly and how to develop appropriately and quickly!

He thought to himself, "Is General Jianli idle for too long and wants to give Qian Wuyi some pointers? Could she really be planning to stay in the Heavenly King's Department and help Qian Wuyi succeed?"

No.

Can't accept it.

Misato Asuka is Zuo Chang's "ex-wife," but that's just a setting in the game; Zuo Chang hasn't actually fully processed this fact yet.

He hadn't actually made up his mind about whether or not to face her as her husband.

but--

Whether it's tyranny or domineering.

Zuo Chang believed that Jianli should either become a general himself or assist him by his side; how could he become someone else's chief of staff?

Who is this Qian Wuyi?

A thief who flaunts his name and wishes Zuo Chang would die soon!

A sense of anxiety arose spontaneously, and Zuo Chang involuntarily began to shake his leg.

The next instant, a flash of insight struck him, and he realized what was happening!

He looked up at Misato Asuka and thought to himself, "I know. Misato Asuka, I know what you're trying to do... You're playing with fire."

Understood.

The skill "Moonlight Guidance" played a crucial role; only those who knew of Zuo Chang's existence could be summoned.

General Li knew who Zuo Chang was.

However, she was unaware that Zuo Chang possessed this intelligence.

therefore……

She deliberately assisted Qian Wuyi, becoming his ally. Therefore, if Zuo Chang wanted to oppose Qian Wuyi, his first step would be to bow his head and admit his mistake, acknowledging himself as the Heavenly King General before Miri Asuka!

"Amazing. Really amazing."

Zuo Chang assessed General Li's plan and was completely convinced.

only……

"You want me to bow down? Do you even have the ability?"

Zuo Chang concealed his inner emotions and continued to appear anxious.

There were more than forty people present, and no one cared about Zuo Chang's feelings, except for one person—

Birds fly inside.

Feiniao looked at Zuo Chang's trembling left foot and sensed his agitation.

Her heart softened, and she thought to herself, "General, why are you so troubled? As long as you reveal your identity, I..."

The next instant, a flash of insight struck her, and she realized what had happened!

A resolute glint appeared in her eyes as she thought, "General, did you ever love me? You came and went in such a hurry, and when my confidants and I vanished without a trace, you didn't even conduct a proper search... Do you know what I saw on the day I finally arrived at your territory after going through so many hardships?"

"……wedding."

"I saw that when you took a new wife, the smile on that Holy Maiden of Time's face was just like mine back then!"

Heartbreaking memories resurfaced in my mind.

Seeing the birds flying around so engrossed in their own world, I felt a pang of melancholy!

She thought to herself, "My actions today are precisely to avenge the humiliation of the past! If I don't give you a good beating, then..."

How could I so easily submit to him again?

What Asuka wanted to see was Zuo Chang's sincerity; what she wanted to confirm was Zuo Chang's love.

Chapter 102 Great minds think alike!

The birds in the sky seemed to forget themselves, lost in their memories.

The downfall of General Jianli back then wasn't that complicated; it was somewhat related to Zuo Chang.

Jianli was a general with a rank of 9799, and Zuo Chang was a general with a rank of 9555. Their marriage was purely a political alliance, based on mutual benefit and support.

Everything was on track, and through concerted efforts, both communities made progress and thrived.

In comparison, Zuo Chang's progress was particularly astonishing, reaching a level that left people speechless.

This is a perfectly normal thing. Putting aside the fact that Zuo Chang was "playing a game," his work style, which only cares about efficiency, justifies his progress.

but……

The elders of the Jianli clan did not think so.

They believe that Asuka has developed feelings for General Tenno beyond personal gain; she has fallen in love with General Tenno and is transferring 9799's profits to him, which is why his development is so rapid!

Asuka was originally a woman from another family, and when she took the initiative to take over the banner of the Jianli family, there were some parasites who objected. It was only because the situation was too dire that they could not recommend anyone else, so they had no choice but to compromise.

After the crisis was resolved, the bird transformed into a great general, leading 9799 to prosperity and strength, making the country prosperous and the people strong, and the parasites could find no reason to oppose it.

Now, they've found their opportunity—

Upon hearing the orders of the old patriarch of the Jianli family, a group of clowns took to the stage and launched a coup!

Inside the city lord's mansion, the old patriarch, leading his people, confronted Jianli Feiniao. He spoke righteously and loudly, asking, "General, we have raised an army today, seeking only one answer! On behalf of the million citizens of the community, I demand that you answer one question—do you love General Tianwang?"

Seeing the aggressive old patriarch, Miri Asuka knew what this question meant.

She hesitated for a moment, then answered coldly but firmly, "Yes."

"How utterly shameless! As a great general, how could you fall in love with a specific person? You should love our community, the millions of people within it! Don't you know... your marriage to the Heavenly King is merely a tool? You love the Heavenly King, but does the Heavenly King love you?"

“I cannot accept this! General, have you forgotten? You once said that you would lead us to higher places, that you would bring us great glory! Now you are willing to become a stranger's wife... What about our expectations then!”

"I knew this woman was unreliable; she's been deceiving us all along!"

"What is this? Who are we risking our lives for?!"

Questions and dissent came from all directions.

Seeing the furious young people in front of him, Asuka realized that everything was a conspiracy carefully planned by the old patriarch.

only……

"Tonight, you are simply my wife."

Amidst the fireworks of a midsummer night, Zuo Chang's words echoed in my ears once more.

He saw through the bird's weariness and was willing to give her a haven to breathe.

Fei Niao remembers that Zuo Chang's embrace was broad and warm, with an intoxicating scent.

"Abdicate! Abdicate!"

"Abdicate! Abdicate!"

Led by the old clan chief, the incited crowd shouted slogans in unison, their voices echoing across the land.

Seeing the overwhelming "public opinion" coming his way, his mind was not on this at all.

She simply thought, "General... being your wife for just one night is probably not enough. I want to serve you wholeheartedly."

She removed her sword, accepted everything calmly, and relinquished power peacefully.

but……

result……

The wedding she witnessed has become a nightmare, constantly piercing the soul of the bird.

"Jianli Dajiang, Jianli Dajiang!"

The call rang in my ears.

Jianli snapped out of her daze and looked at Qian Wuyi: "I'm so sorry... Lord Qian, what did you just say?"

Qian Wuyi smiled and said, "It's nothing... I just noticed you suddenly looked sad and wondered what happened."

Only then did Asuka realize that the lively atmosphere around her had completely disappeared.

Of the forty people present, not one of them dared to utter a sound, but they all sat upright and solemnly.

"Homeowner..."

Ryoko took a handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to him while bowing her head.

Only now did Misato Asuka realize—

She actually shed tears.

She took the handkerchief, wiped away the tears on her face, and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry... Lord Qian, my eyes are sensitive to light, and it's common for me to tear up."

"..."

"..."

Who can be fooled by such lies?

Seeing the deep sorrow on General Li's face, even those who did not know the inside story felt pity for him and dared not speak out!

Qian Wuyi said, "General Jianli, the banquet won't start for a while. Why don't you rest for a bit?"

"...That's fine."

Seeing that General Li was slightly downcast, he nodded in agreement.

Qian Wuyi gestured with his hand and suddenly said, "I'll take you to the quiet room. Mr. Zuo, you come too."

Zuo Chang was taken aback, not understanding why he had been called upon.

Just go.
