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

Upon hearing Nan Tu Wang's words, Chen Shan gave him a thumbs up in admiration.

"Your Highness is wise. I set up this academy purely because my wife wanted to. I never imagined that it would all benefit you in the end."

"However, you could help me out financially, as my salary is simply not enough."

Chen Shan wasn't one to be pretentious, so he just said it directly.

After all, setting up an academy is quite expensive, and Chen Shan's financial resources are simply not enough to keep up.

Moreover, many of these require money, and without external funding, it simply won't be enough.

King Nan Tu also understood Chen Shan's meaning.

"Rest assured, I will personally assist in this matter. I believe the Emperor will reward you after he learns of it. Moreover, your wife is a renowned scholar, and even the Confucius family would not dare to say anything openly."

With Nan Tu Wang's words, Chen Shan felt relieved.

With the help of the Southern Slaughter King, everything will be fine.

None of these are problems.

"General Chen, I'm afraid I'll need you to go to the palace again later. I'll have someone summon you then."

"I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

Huangfu Song got up and left without lingering. He left a few words behind and went straight away.

Watching the person leave, Nan Tu Rou pinched Chen Shan in an annoyed manner.

"Are you dead? The prince has left, so at least say something. In the army, you at least knew some rules. How come you're becoming less and less disciplined now that you're in the capital?"

Nan Tu Rou looked at Chen Shan with a disappointed expression, which left Chen Shan somewhat bewildered.

"Princess, by what right do you dare to interfere with me? General? This isn't the army."

"You can't possibly be here as my future wife, can you?"

"We're not officially engaged yet, and besides, the Prince hasn't given his approval..."

Chen Shan started to joke, but before he could finish speaking, he immediately felt two chilling gazes.

One of them was from Nan Tu Rou, and although it gleamed with a cold light, it also carried a hint of shame.

But the other was pure coldness, meaningless, belonging to the Southern Slaughter King.

The Southern Slaughter King, who was so easy to talk to just a moment ago, has now become even more... frightening!

This made Chen Shan deeply realize the terror of being a doting father.

"Ahem, I have something to do, I'll head back now."

After Chen Shan finished speaking, he didn't dare to linger.

Although he was personally unparalleled in martial arts, he couldn't really fight against the Southern King and his daughter.

This is somewhat inappropriate.

After all, Chen Shan isn't that kind of person—wanting to set his sights on someone's daughter but then beating up the father-in-law first.

That's not how it's done in the world.

Watching Chen Shan leave, the Southern King sighed, "That kid is good in every way, but unfortunately, he's a womanizer. He has way too many wives at home."

Upon hearing King Nan Tu's words, Nan Tu Rou immediately glared at him: "Father! What do you mean by that? Do you mean that if that guy doesn't have a wife, you'd want me to marry him?"

Nan Tu Rou looked furious, which only made King Nan Tu feel more helpless.

Based on his understanding of his daughter and her previous attitude, he must have developed feelings for Chen Shan.

But the more this was the case, the more troubled the Southern King became.

In other words, Chen Shan is indeed an outstanding person. He can use any misdeed or wrongdoing as an excuse to make a fuss and cut off his daughter's hopes.

"Rou'er, although your father said he would not interfere with your marriage, you must also see things clearly and think them through. You are the only son of the royal family."

The King of Nan Tu spoke earnestly, and both father and daughter saw through it but didn't say anything, which only made Nan Tu Rou more nervous.

No one would marry that guy!

[Nan Tu Rou's favorability +1]

"Huh? What's going on?"

Chen Shan saw a system notification shortly after leaving the Prince's Mansion.

I didn't expect this could increase favorability?

If we bring a little more, Nan Tu Rou's favorability rating will reach 80.

However, even if he reached 80, Chen Shan didn't dare to make a direct move.

After all, if he were to pull some kind of dirty trick before dealing with the Southern King, the Southern King would probably lead a large army to hunt him down.

With such a domineering father-in-law, Chen Shan felt immense pressure.

Just outside the imperial city, Chen Shan intended to buy some wine and food in the inner city, but he was unexpectedly stopped by someone as soon as he turned around.

"General Chen, my young master requests your presence."

Looking at the two people in front of him, Chen Shan's eyebrows furrowed, and he stared at them with a strange expression.

Damn, his pectoral muscles are ridiculously exaggerated, and his skin looks like a dough ball.

Did people in ancient times have no understanding of men dressing as women?

These are clearly two women!

"lead the way."

Chen Shan was too lazy to even complain, so he decided to see who had come looking for him this time.

There are still many things in the capital that he doesn't know.

Once the Black Ice Platform has some news, he'll make sure to find out more and try to be on the front lines of the drama!

"Purple Immortal Pavilion? Is this the place your young master invited me to meet?"

Chen Shan was somewhat surprised, not expecting the other party to invite him to the Purple Immortal Pavilion.

"General, please."

The two didn't say anything more, but kept extending invitations.

Chen Shan was even more curious about the other party's identity.

They went straight to the side room with the attendants.

As Chen pushed open the door and entered, he saw another woman dressed as a man.

Chen Shan felt completely numb.

They all have chest muscles that look like watermelons, but they insist on pretending to be men.

"Since you were invited, why don't you show your true colors?"

"I'm talking about this... young lady."

Chen Shan had no interest in hiding anything, so he simply tore off the other party's mask.

Sure enough, after Chen Shan finished speaking, the man was immediately stunned. Then he smiled, pulled off the cloth that was binding his hair, and gently shook his head. His black hair swayed, and his appearance was fully revealed.

[A beautiful woman with a rating of 98 has been detected!]

[Chu Zhiyue's favorability rating: 0]

Chu Zhiyue?

Surname Chu?

Upon seeing the system notification, Chen Shan's heart skipped a beat. In the entire capital, although there were quite a few people with the surname Chu, very few could actually enter the inner city and host him at the Purple Pavilion.

Aside from the prime minister's family, Chen Shan really couldn't think of anyone else.

However, Chu Yiren never told him whether the prime minister had any other children, nor did she know their names.

"Girl, with such beauty, why do you insist on pretending to be a man?"

Chen Shan remained unfazed.

He looked at the other person calmly.

Chu Zhiyue chuckled and said, "I am seeking out the general for some important matters."

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Chu Zhiyue. Logically speaking, I should be considered a member of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but I am not."

"Because I have already married a prince."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shan was dumbfounded.

Fog Grass?

A real wife has appeared?

No wonder it looks like a watermelon, did it just have a baby?

Chen Shan's mind was filled with all sorts of images forbidden for adults, and he almost had impure thoughts.
