The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

Wang Ming also became determined and personally led tens of thousands of people to go.

This caused the forces originally searching for Lin Zixiao to expand several times over, with countless soldiers covering the entire mountain.

Under these circumstances, Wang Ming did not believe that Lin Zixiao could not be found.

"Even if it's just a fly, we must find him!"

"Find it for me!"

The entire army was determined and began searching inch by inch.

Meanwhile, at the foot of the mountain, in a thatched hut, Lin Zixiao slowly woke up.

Three questions popped into my mind without my noticing.

who am I?

where am I?

What am I supposed to do?

Immediately, his mind cleared, and he remembered.

He is Lin Zixiao, the commander of the Lin family army. However, because of his loyalty to the imperial court, he was betrayed by his subordinates, the Seven Heroes of Chifeng. After defeating the Seven Heroes of Chifeng, the Seven Heroes of Chifeng somehow obtained firearms and routed his army.

The established advantages were crushed in a single day!

Left with no other choice, they could only linger outside Kyoto, seeking an opportunity to fight.

But he accidentally stepped on a slippery rock and tumbled off the cliff, and then...

I have no memory of it anymore.

"Oh, you're awake?"

A woman's voice rang out.

Lin Zixiao looked up and saw a girl dressed in coarse cloth and short clothes, with a simple but upright and neat figure and heroic eyes, carrying a wooden basin.

"You're finally awake."

The girl said, "That day I went hunting and found you collapsed at the foot of the mountain. I saw that you were badly injured and had lost a lot of blood, so I brought you back to life."

"I even specially invited the village doctor for you and gave you a lot of herbs that I had gathered. Thank God, you have finally woken up."

"How is it?"

"How are you feeling now?"

"Does it still hurt?"

Lin Zixiao then understood. He tried to move his body, and although he was still in pain all over, he had practiced martial arts since childhood and had suffered countless hardships. He didn't care about these minor injuries and pains at all.

He immediately replied, "Much better."

"I should be alright now..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Zixiao's expression changed drastically: "This is bad! The army is still outside the city. If I'm not here, won't they be devoured by the Seven Heroes of Chifeng? Quick, quick, quick... send me back!"

"Huh?" The girl was taken aback. "So rushed? Your injuries haven't healed yet?"

The girl spoke, but her hands didn't stop moving.

Since Lin Zixiao was in such a hurry, she didn't dare to delay. She quickly helped Lin Zixiao up and escorted him out. It took quite a while, and the girl was covered in sweat before she finally got Lin Zixiao to the dense forest.

Looking up again, all you see is an endless expanse of open sky and earth.

If you look closely, you can even see soldiers in the distance.

The girl clearly didn't have much affection for soldiers, and even felt some aversion towards them, saying, "Judging from your appearance, you must be a soldier, right? Your soldiers are just ahead, so I won't see you off."

Goodbye!

After saying that, the girl turned to leave.

Lin Zixiao reached out to stop her, saying, "Miss, you saved me, Lin Zixiao. I am not one to be ungrateful. I will repay you handsomely."

"No need, I just grabbed it casually."

"No, we must repay them!" Lin Zixiao's tone suddenly became excited: "My Lin family has been a family of scholars and farmers for generations, upholding propriety and righteousness. The whole family is loyal and righteous. Our family tradition has always been to repay even the smallest kindness with the greatest gratitude."

"In this life, I will never fail my father's last wishes."

"We must live up to the expectations of our country and our friends."

"Kindness must be repaid, and virtue must be reciprocated!"

"This is the foundation upon which our clan has stood for generations!"

"You saved my life, Lin Zixiao; how could I not repay that debt?"

"Are you trying to bring shame upon my ancestors?"

"To make me, Lin Zixiao, despised by the world?"

The girl was startled: "I just told you not to take it too seriously, why are you so agitated?"

"Alright, alright, if you want to repay the favor, then do so."

"and you……"

Before the young woman could even make her request, Lin Zixiao declared, "I, Lin Zixiao, will definitely take you as my concubine to repay your kindness!"

Girl: "???"

She almost thought she had misheard and asked in return, "What kind of favor is it to take me as a concubine? I don't want it. If you insist on repaying this favor, just give me a hundred taels of silver."

"No way!" Lin Zixiao refused decisively.

"No? Then give me fifty taels!" the girl said. "If fifty taels still isn't enough, then give me twenty taels, or ten taels, or even five taels will do."

"No!" Lin Zixiao's emotions grew more and more urgent, and because of his urgency, his already weakened injuries surged again. He was also eager to say something, which made his face turn bright red.

After a long pause, he finally managed to choke out, "No!"

"I can't give you any money!"

"I want to take you as my concubine!"

"How can a mere sum of money repay a life-saving debt?"

"If word gets out, where will the Lin family's reputation be? Where will Lin Zixiao's reputation be?"

"How will I face my father when I'm in the afterlife?"

"so……"

Lin Zixiao said, enunciating each word clearly, "I, Lin Zixiao, will definitely take you as my concubine to repay your life-saving grace!"

A surge of anger had begun to rise in the girl's heart.

Why would she want to become someone's concubine?

The girl next door, Er Ya, became someone's concubine, but within two months she was beaten to death by the wife and her body was thrown into a mass grave. Her parents didn't even dare to claim her body!

She doesn't want to be a concubine!

He then said, "If you don't want to repay the life-saving grace, then don't. I won't force you. If you really want to repay it, then give me a hundred taels of silver."

"To be a concubine?"

"I would never be a concubine in my entire life."

"Even if I starve to death, even if I jump off this cliff, I would never become a concubine!"

Lin Zixiao's eyes widened: "You, you don't actually want to be my legal wife? No way! My lawfully wedded wife must be of equal social standing to me, and must be approved by His Majesty. Your status is far from sufficient!"

"Therefore, I want to take you as my concubine!"

"I must take you as my concubine!"

The girl's temper flared up, and she turned around and picked up a large rock.

Without hesitation, he smashed it down on Lin Zixiao's head.

With a loud thud, Lin Zixiao fell to the ground!

"You'd better be a concubine in your next life!"

After hurling insults, the girl turned and left.

However, after taking only two steps, they heard Lin Zixiao, who had been hit, still calling out in a voice barely audible: "I, I..."

"I will definitely take you as my concubine..."

The girl stopped, turned around, and picked up another large rock!

Clang!

It slammed down again!

"Concubine, concubine, concubine, my ass!"

Lin Zixiao was speechless.

After checking it over, the girl felt relieved and left peacefully!
