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

Pei Wugou did not actually intend to kill everyone in the Cangbo Camp. What he wanted was to intimidate the troops and make them obey him!

Now that he saw that the desired effect had been achieved, he said, "Since the generals have pleaded for your lives, I will spare your lives for the time being."

"But listen to me carefully."

"I, the Marquis, have always maintained strict military discipline!"

"If anyone commits this offense again in the future, no matter what it is, I will not let them off the hook!"

"Did you understand?"

In this situation, with these words spoken, regardless of whether the crowd understood or not, they all shouted in unison, "Understood!"

"That's good!"

Pei Wugou sheathed his sword and turned back to the commander's tent.

Before leaving, he called out to Lu Chaosheng.

"General Lu, come here."

"Yes!" Having just witnessed Pei Wugou's ruthless methods, Lu Chaosheng dared not be careless in the slightest. He got up to rush over, but then looked at his old subordinates.

He sighed.

He stopped in his tracks, turned around, and said, "You all, be careful from now on. This Marquis is too strong. Don't get any more ideas about messy things. The Marquis is someone we can't afford to offend!"

Only then did he hurry off.

Upon entering the commander's tent, they discovered that there were two marquises inside!

"That's how it is..." Deputy General Chen Song quickly stepped forward to explain about the shadow, and after he finished speaking, he said, "General Lu, not many people in the army know about the Marquis's shadow. The fact that he didn't hide it from you today proves that he considers you one of his own."

Lu Chaosheng nodded, but a sense of absurdity arose in his heart.

For the sake of a woman, he specifically sought out a shadow?

The key point is that the logic behind this is very strange!

Is this elaborate operation just to prevent the woman from knowing his identity?

He was deeply in love with Ning Wanqin back then, and he never neglected any military affairs because of it!

Of course, Pei Wugou's oppressive aura was still there, so Lu Chaosheng dared not say anything, and didn't even dare to show any unusual expression. He just waited quietly to the side.

After Pei Wugou and Yingzi changed their clothes and washed themselves clean, they watched as Pei Wugou walked over.

"General Lu, do you have a moment?"

"Come with me!"

Before Lu Chaosheng could speak, his deputy Chen Song quickly nudged him and whispered, "The Marquis considers you one of his own, so why don't you agree?"

Lu Chaosheng immediately replied, "If Your Excellency commands, I will gladly die for you!"

"Hahaha!" Pei Wugou seemed to be in a very good mood. Having washed himself clean, he looked radiant and laughed heartily, "Inside the tent, you can call me Lord Marquis, but..."

"From now on, you can just call me Xiao Pei."

"Or you can call me anything, just don't be formal."

Lu Chaosheng quickly replied, "This humble general wouldn't dare."

"What do you mean 'dare' or 'don't dare'? This is a military order."

"Alright then... Yes, Your subordinate obeys!"

Pei Wugou, acting as if he was grooming Lu Chaosheng as a trusted confidant, pulled him out of the tent and headed straight for the servants' camp.

As soon as they arrived, a petite, fair-skinned soldier from the servants' camp rushed over, calling out, "Awu, Awu..."

Lu Chaosheng spent many years with Ning Wanqin and witnessed her using "evil magic" on her face every day, so he immediately recognized that this servant was a woman.

Then, recalling what his deputy Chen Song had just told him, he suddenly understood.

"Oh, this must be the woman named Wen He, right?"

"The Marquis brought me to meet his beloved woman; he's truly grooming me to be his confidant..."

I've pretty much figured out what Pei Wugou is thinking.

First, he put himself out of work at home and then suppressed the situation.

He was immediately promoted and became a trusted confidant!

In that case, how could she not be completely devoted to him?

"My lord, you do have some tricks up your sleeve!"

Lu Chaosheng could understand the crux of the matter and could see that this was Pei Wugou's tactic driven by self-interest, but... he couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Such a marquis is indeed worthy of loyalty.

That letter from General Zhang Shi...

"Just burn it when you get back, and pretend I never saw it, so as not to cause any more trouble."

As he was thinking this, Pei Wugou and Wen He were already embracing each other. The two of them seemed to be missing each other terribly, circling around each other as if no one else was around.

It took quite a while before they stopped.

Wen He then noticed Lu Chaosheng beside her and exclaimed, "Awu, who is this?"

Pei Wugou, holding Wen He's hand with a tender expression, introduced, "Xiao He, this is the famous General Lu Chaosheng of Zhenjiang City, my friend!"

"Wow!" Wen He exclaimed, "So you are General Lu Chaosheng! I've heard so much about you before. You're really amazing!"

Lu Chaosheng instinctively wanted to bow in greeting, but stopped when he met Pei Wugou's gaze, saying, "You're too kind. My humble name is nothing to mention."

"General Lu, you're too kind," Wen He said softly, her eyes sparkling. Then she said to Pei Wugou, "Awu, you're quite something now, you've even become friends with General Lu."

"My Ah Wu is truly ten thousand times more powerful than I imagined."

Pei Wugou was overjoyed to receive the praise.

But feigning humility, he said, "I'm just averagely skilled. It's mainly because General Lu, with his high position and great power, is so polite to us lowly personal guards."

"Yes, General Lu is so kind!" Wen He continued to praise Lu Chaosheng, following Pei Wugou's words. "General Lu is so kind, no wonder good things happen in pairs and joy comes one after another."

These words surprised Lu Chaosheng.

He asked, "What good things come in pairs?"

Wen He asked in surprise, "General Lu, you didn't know?"

"Could it be that A-Wu misheard?"

"A-Wu said that the Marquis of Zhenjiang City has promoted you and will entrust you with all matters, big and small, in Zhenjiang City. From now on, you will be the number one person in Zhenjiang City after the Marquis."

After a pause, Wen He said, "A-Wu, you've got it wrong, haven't you?"

Pei Wugou immediately said, "How could that be? How could I have misheard? It's just that this matter hasn't been announced to the public yet, and General Lu Chaosheng doesn't know about it either."

Lu Chaosheng's body trembled.

Pei Wugou has completely relied on him!

Entrusting him with all matters in Zhenjiang City was such a profound act of trust that he almost wanted to kneel down and thank Pei Wugou on the spot.

Finally, he stopped himself abruptly and said, "It seems I didn't hear this good news. I never expected that something I've been longing for would be fulfilled so easily by the Marquis's arrival."

"Your Excellency's kindness is truly beyond my comprehension..."

"I have no way to repay you!"

Pei Wugou knew that these words were directed at him, and felt a little smug. He continued, "As far as I know, the Marquis values ​​you quite a bit."

"By the way, Xiao He, you just said that General Lu is experiencing double happiness?"

"And what's the other happy news?"

Wen He said with a beaming smile, "Of course, it's to congratulate General Lu on his marriage."

"General Lu, you're about to ascend the throne, yet you haven't announced it to the public. The army doesn't even know yet."

Upon hearing this, Pei Wugou's face lit up with joy, and he even playfully punched Lu Chaosheng, saying, "Well, old Lu, you didn't even tell your brothers about such a big event as your marriage. Don't you respect your brothers?"

"I absolutely have to treat everyone tonight."

Lu Chaosheng was even more confused and asked, "Marriage?"

"What marriage?"

"When did I get married?"

Wen He laughed and said, "General Lu, stop pretending. Many people saw it. Your childhood sweetheart, Miss Ning Wanqin, went to the Luanshu Bureau."

"That's where the coronation and marriage take place."

"What did your wife go there for if not to ascend the throne and get married?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Wugou's face showed a hint of annoyance.

So Lu Chaosheng is going to get married today to ascend the throne. Sigh, if I had known today was the most joyous day of Lu Chaosheng's life, I wouldn't have made a move today. I've ruined Lu Chaosheng's mood.

However, she felt even more favorably toward Lu Chaosheng!

On Lu Chaosheng's joyous day, he didn't utter a word, but came to the military camp as soon as he heard the order. Such a general is worthy of trust!

But Lu Chaosheng...

His expression changed drastically!

The Luan Shu Bureau?!

Ning Wanqin went to the Luanshu Bureau?

It should be noted that the local government offices that were in charge of population, land ownership, marriage, and household registration changes were called the Household Registration Offices.

The Luanshu Department was a department under the Household Affairs Bureau.

Specializing in marriage matters!

Moreover, the Luanshu Bureau was first established in Yunjing and holds an extremely high position within the city, making it the place that all lovesick men and women most want to go.

just now……

His childhood sweetheart, Ning Wanqin, went to the Luanshu Bureau, but he didn't know it.
