Pei Wugou's mind was completely in turmoil.

After hearing about the deeds of the King of Yunjing in his early years, he was captivated by him and regarded him as his idol, imitating him in every way.

Later, he retired from the military and returned to his hometown, living as an ordinary person, seeking true love in the desolate mountains and valleys.

Heaven had mercy and gave him a chance!

He ran into Wen He!

Although Wen He was just an ordinary farm girl who made a living by selling tofu, she was gentle, kind, and beautiful.

From the first moment he saw her, he fell deeply in love and could not extricate himself. From then on, he disguised himself as a common scholar, bought tofu every morning and evening, and gradually became familiar with Wen He.

The more familiar you become with her, the more you can feel Wen He's heart of gold.

Their relationship grew better and better.

Just as he was about to formally propose marriage to Wen He, he suddenly received an imperial edict from Yun Jing, ordering him to go to Pukou City, capture the incompetent Zhou Xiong, and defend Pukou City.

Unable to disobey the imperial decree, he could only lie to Wen He, saying, "If the Tianye is destroyed, how can I have a home?", and then set off for Pukou City.

He thought he could easily defeat Ren Tianye and force Ren Tianye's army to retreat so he could quickly go back and live a sweet and loving life with Wen He, a life that others would envy.

But unexpectedly...

Ren Tianye is incredibly strong!

Not only did he fail to defend Pukou City, but he was also beaten like a stray dog ​​by Ren Tianye and fled in disarray!

Of course, none of this matters.

Victory or defeat is standard issue.

If you lose, you can win it back, but... what's going on when I saw Wen He at the military camp?

Isn't Wen He selling tofu at home?

How did you end up here?

And they were even mocked and ridiculed by these people?

Instantly, Pei Wugou's eyes turned bloodshot.

"My lord..." The lieutenant, seeing the situation was amiss, quickly inquired, "What's wrong? Have these people gone too far?"

"This subordinate will stop it immediately!"

"Yes, this is too much..." Pei Wugou spat out the words through gritted teeth, coldly saying, "Stop them? No, drag all of them out and behead them all!"

"What?"

"My lord, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

The lieutenant was taken aback.

It's not wartime right now. The soldiers are just chatting during their rest time. They're not disturbing morale. So why... behead them?

No, they're beheading them already?

Isn't this military discipline a bit too strict?

"Indeed, that's inappropriate..."

Upon hearing Pei Wugou's words, the lieutenant breathed a sigh of relief. Then he heard Pei Wugou say, "Behead them, and hang their heads on flagpoles as a warning!"

"Let them know the consequences of offending my beloved!"

The lieutenant's body trembled violently!

"What? That young master is your beloved, Your Highness?"

"Has the wind of those high-ranking officials and nobles ultimately blew upon you, Marquis?"

"Can……"

The lieutenant knelt down with a thud: "My lord, those soldiers didn't know that young gentleman was your sweetheart."

"They were just a bit foul-mouthed at most, not deserving of death, especially since... soon we'll be facing off against Ren Tianye's army."

"At this time, dealing with those soldiers in this way is really...inappropriate."

"This humble general dares to plead with Your Excellency to grant them a temporary reprieve."

Pei Wugou's anger had not subsided, and she said coldly, "Forgive them? How can forgiving them be worthy of my love?"

"I order you to behead them today and display their heads as a warning. If you dare disobey this order, I will behead you as well!"

The deputy general's expression changed repeatedly until it finally crumbled into helplessness. He glanced at the soldiers who were still completely unaware that they had offended the Marquis, and his heart was bleeding.

But what could he do when Pei Wugou's military order was so resolute?

"Alas, my lord, after this, you should bring that young gentleman to your side. That way, the soldiers will not dare to charge recklessly."

"No!" Pei Wugou resolutely refused, "Absolutely not! I cannot acknowledge Xiaohe now!"

"I absolutely cannot acknowledge Xiaohe as my sister!"

This seemed to be a taboo topic, causing Pei Wugou's expression to change when it was brought up.

But the lieutenant broke down.

What do you mean?

Why won't you acknowledge your little husband?

And you're even putting your little husband in the military camp?

No... With your looks and physique, how could the soldiers not gossip about you?

Once the soldiers below start gossiping, you can raise your sword and bring it down heavily, and then your head will be scattered on the ground.

Then what can we use to fight Ren Tianye?

Are we just the two of us going to charge up against Ren Tianye's hundreds of thousands of troops?

The lieutenant couldn't quite grasp Pei Wugou's thought process and was about to speak again when he saw Pei Wugou fleeing like a stray dog.

Upon closer inspection, she realized it was the young man's gaze that had drifted over, which was why she ran away.

He sighed inwardly again.

He ordered someone to deal with the soldiers who had offended Pei Wugou, and then quickly went after them.

Upon arriving at the central army camp, they found Pei Wugou.

Pei Wugou had picked up the mirror and was looking at herself repeatedly, but her demeanor was no longer as confident and self-admiring as before. Instead, her face was full of despair.

Clearly, the missing tuft of hair on his head was a fatal blow to him!

"My lord..."

The lieutenant continued to persuade him patiently: "Why don't you just acknowledge that young man as your husband? That way... everyone will have less trouble."

"No, no..." Pei Wugou jumped up: "I've said it countless times, no means no."

"Why?"

"Because she never knew my identity!" Pei Wugou said imposingly, "Xiao He never knew that I was Marquis Jingyi. In her eyes, I was just a down-on-his-luck scholar, a down-on-his-luck scholar who didn't even know martial arts."

The lieutenant's eyes lit up, and he said, "My lord, that's a good thing! That young gentleman doesn't know your identity as Marquis Jingyi. Now that you've revealed it, he'll definitely be shocked, and his admiration for you will only grow stronger."

"From now on, you two will be inseparable, so close you'll never be able to resist each other! Wouldn't that be wonderful!"

"No, no..." Pei Wugou shouted again, "This can't be done, absolutely not!"

"If I reveal my identity as Marquis Jingyi, Xiaohe will be angry that I hid it from her before. I... I can't let her be angry."

"I love her, and I can't hide anything from her; otherwise, may I be struck by lightning!"

"Besides..."

Pei Wugou picked up the bronze mirror again, looked at herself in the mirror, and said with a pained expression, "Now, my peerless beauty is ruined, and it hasn't healed yet. I can't let her see me like this."

"so……"

"I can't acknowledge her as my mother!"

"Absolutely not!"

Lieutenant General: "..."

He felt his mind was a bit muddled, so muddled that it gave him a headache.

Just as he was about to speak, Pei Wugou called out again.

With a look of delighted surprise, he said, "I've got it! I have a solution!"

"In that case, from now on, I will pretend to be your personal guard and visit Xiaohe as your personal guard. If she asks, I will say that I performed well in the army and gained your approval."

"Haha, isn't that enough?"
