In a chaotic world, border soldiers begin their journey by enlisting in the army and getting married

Huangfu Yueling said with envy, not because today's event was particularly dazzling, but because she knew that Chen Shan already had several wives.

In this situation, the fact that a great scholar like Xu Sijing was willing to marry Chen Shan shows that Chen Shan was indeed extraordinary.

This made her even more curious about Chen Shan.

"If the princess is interested, wouldn't it be clear once she marries him?"

"I feel quite happy here."

Chen Shan joked, and Huangfu Yueling immediately rolled her eyes: "Dream on, I'm a princess. You think you can make me marry you? You're not qualified."

Huangfu Yueling said with a proud expression.

She said that, but in her heart she was thinking, if she married him, Chen Shan would have no choice but to rebel with her? Maybe that would be a solution?

Huangfu Yueling pondered to herself, and soon the banquet began.

Apart from Chen Shan and his dozen or so brothers who couldn't come, almost all of their relatives and friends were present.

Of course, for Chen Shan, they are all his wife and future wife.

Naturally, there was nothing to be shy about.

Weddings in ancient times were originally quite grand. However, that applied to powerful and wealthy families; for ordinary people, it was a very simple affair.

There's no grand wedding procession like the Ming Dynasty empress's, so Chen Shan and his group are already doing quite well.

After the banquet, in the room, Xu Sijing, dressed in red, sat quietly and nervously on the bed.

Her jade-like hands tightly encircled the door until it opened.

"Jingjing, have you thought this through?"

Chen Shan stepped forward and, looking at Xu Sijing's voluptuous figure, felt a surge of anger rising within him.

Xu Sijing nodded slightly, without responding, but it was clear that she was extremely nervous at that moment.

"From now on, you can do whatever you want, and I'll help you."

"This will be your home from now on."

Chen Shan spoke softly, and Xu Sijing nodded in agreement, but when Chen Shan grasped her hand, she trembled all over.

"Um, that... be gentle."

"Yi Ren and the others said...you, you like to use force."

Xu Sijing's voice rose weakly, carrying a mixture of fear and anticipation.

Seeing her like this, Chen Shan also laughed.

"It turns out that our dignified Mr. Xu also has such a cute side."

Don't worry.

After Chen Shan finished speaking, his hands began to climb the rocks. Only now did Chen Shan truly understand what it meant to stand at the top of the mountain and look down on all the other mountains.

It's not that Liu Ruyu and the other women are small; on the contrary, it's that Xu Sijing is too big!

He truly deserves to be called a great Confucian scholar!

That night, it wasn't just their relationship that heated up; as the well-digger, Chen Shan was also nearly burning out his drill bit.

The next morning, Chen Shan felt refreshed and energetic.

[Xu Sijing's favorability +10]

Xu Sijing's favorability rating: 90 (Deeply affectionate)

Looking at the system notification, so many points have been added in just one night. It seems like I'm not far from getting the big gift pack.

"Tsk, my husband, you really are a chivalrous woman."

As soon as Chen Shan entered the courtyard, Xiao Ningning's sarcastic voice rang out.

Chen Shan turned his head and was immediately startled.

Goodness, Xiao Ningning, Chu Yiren, Liu Ruyu and the other girls all have dark circles under their eyes.

That's really quite scary!

"What's going on with you guys? Didn't you sleep all night? Did you come here specifically to eavesdrop?"

Seeing their expressions, Chen Shan was dumbfounded.

"You're such a liar! Who told you to make such a racket all night? We didn't want to listen, but there was nothing we could do about it."

Mo Yiyao pouted and said with a complaining look on her face.

Chen Shan looked embarrassed. He didn't think he made a big fuss at all, since he was enjoying himself.

However, judging from their reactions, it's clear that things went a bit too far last night.

Even now, Xu Sijing is still fast asleep from exhaustion.

"Ahem, what's the big deal? You guys make a fuss about it all the time."

Chen Shan blushed, but still spoke seriously, which immediately earned him glares from the others.

He was clearly very dissatisfied with Chen Shan's words.

"Let's get down to business, Xiaoya. Get the family business ready, get things started."

"Just go for it, and let me know if you have any problems."

"Our family has grown significantly, so we'll need more money in the future."

Chen Shan gave them some instructions, and he also briefly explained the matter of the Black Ice Platform to them.

After all, she's his wife; there's no need for the family to keep it a secret.

And let them know that it's also for safety reasons, so that if anything happens, arrangements can be made.

"My lord, you have too many soldiers under your command, more than a young general should have. This Black Ice Guard cannot be leaked."

Xiao Ningning reminded him, and Chen Shan naturally understood this, so he didn't intend to reveal it to anyone except his family.

"You all go ahead with your work, I'm going to the Governor's Mansion now."

Chen Shan greeted them and then left the courtyard.

With the Trapped Camp in the open and the Black Ice Guard in the shadows, he was even less worried about the safety of Liu Ruyu and the others.

The next step is naturally to do everything in our power, and we also need to find out which prince that Zi Xian married.

Otherwise, Chen Shan wouldn't have been able to destroy it.

The Five Military Commands Office.

"Hey, busy man, I thought you weren't coming today."

As soon as Chen Shan entered the hall, Nan Tu Rou's sarcastic voice rang out, leaving him feeling rather helpless. Why did she sound just like Liu Ru Yu and the others?

"Your Highness is right. I receive a salary from the imperial court, so naturally I have to do my job."

"By the way, nothing much has happened lately, can't I take a day off?"

Chen Shan quickly changed the subject. He could sense that Nan Tu Rou was indeed harboring resentment.

If we continue with that topic, this woman might get angry.

"Take leave? You wish! The attack on Beiyan Mountain has been basically decided, but the court hasn't decided who will go yet."

"However, the Five Military Commissions also need to select suitable candidates and formulate a plan, which will ultimately be decided by the imperial court."

"After all, troop movements can only be carried out through the Five Military Commissions now."

Nan Tu Rou reminded him, also because she was afraid that Chen Shan would forget about the important matters once he started living a comfortable life.

"Attack Beiyan Mountain? No interest. Just don't make me go."

"I don't want to end up having to return it to someone else and pay them money. I can't bear the shame of doing the same thing again."

Chen Shan spoke frankly.

He truly enjoyed life in the capital, and if possible, he would indeed like to build his own house here.

As for war? It's not that he's not interested, but that he doesn't want to.

Given the state of the imperial court, fighting would be futile.

"Chen Shan, this is the imperial court, the emperor's order, you cannot refuse."

Nan Tu Rou noticed Chen Shan's resistance and quickly reminded him.

However, Chen Shan's response was very direct.

"The civil officials of our Xia Kingdom are all sycophants, they love to grovel and fawn over others. I can't possibly follow their example, can I?"

"These scoundrels talk about national righteousness, but in reality they do things that betray the country for personal gain. Although I am not a gentleman, I will not associate with them."
