Although he was praised, and was even a lieutenant general.

But Lin Kai always felt awkward.

Putting aside the issue of male versus female audiences, isn't it basic skill for a general to control a horse with one hand? Even Tang Sanzang could control his horse with one hand...

He forced a warm, gentle smile onto his face.

"Have all the troops from the Zhechong Prefecture arrived?"

She turned her head and looked at the slightly thin and tall man riding slowly towards her on horseback, and nodded slightly.

Lu Gongchang, Zhechong Duwei, was in charge of 1200 soldiers in the Zhechong Prefecture, a position of the fourth rank.

He paused after saying that.

"By order of this general, surround the Lu residence on all four sides, and..."

As he gave the order, Lin Kai looked away and glanced behind Lu Gongchang.

However, he only got halfway through his sentence.

Where are they?

Looking at the sparse dozen or so soldiers following behind Lu Gongchang, Lin Kai's face showed a blank expression.

No, I've already given the order, where are you?

1000 people should be enough to completely block the street, right?

"It's past noon now, so the soldiers naturally need to eat and rest."

"General, please be patient. The soldiers will come naturally after they finish eating and take a half-hour nap."

Lu Gongchang, mounted on horseback, clasped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Lin Kai and spoke earnestly.

Lin Kai: ?

Sometimes I really want to call the police...

Do you really think military campaigns are child's play?

...

Although Lin Kai felt that his decision to recruit and retrain soldiers was incredibly wise at this moment.

But Lin Kai couldn't just wait idly.

So after muttering a few complaints to himself, Lin Kai still ordered the dozen or so soldiers to accompany him to take control of the Lu residence.

Objectively speaking, before stepping into the Lu residence, Lin Kai was prepared to face another 'storm'.

After all, in my past life, I'd seen many female-oriented dramas where the female lead would cry, make a scene, and even threaten suicide when faced with an army raiding her home, and then the army leader would fall in love with her...

However, to Lin Kai's surprise...

"The general is an official personally appointed by His Majesty. Now, bearing the imperial decree, he is inspecting the Minnan Province and naturally has the power of life and death."

"The Lu family is merely a minor aristocratic family in the Minnan province; how dare they disobey the Emperor's will?"

The middle-aged man, dressed in fine silk robes, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Lin Kai and spoke.

Lin Kai: ? How come this is different from what I imagined?

Isn't this a perfectly normal way of thinking?

I thought about it a little bit.

"Lu Yao is from the Lu family, isn't she? She tried to poison me yesterday..."

Lin Kai glanced at the rows of Lu family members standing in front of him and waved his hand.

The words were not yet finished.

"But the claim that my daughter poisoned the general is completely unfounded."

"This humble subject will go to the prefect's gate tomorrow to beat the grievance drum, begging Your Excellency to grant me justice!"

The middle-aged man raised his head, staring intently at Lin Kai, and spoke slowly and deliberately.

Lin Kai: ? Huh?

No, I thought you were at least normal, but it turns out you're not much?

"what ever."

After internally complaining for a moment, Lin Kai waved his hand.

Forget it, why bother talking to someone who's mentally unstable? We'll just raid their place when the main force arrives...

But why hasn't this quest triggered? Isn't it supposed to be about conquering cities and territories? Am I guessing wrong, or is this family too small to qualify?

Seeing that Lin Kai seemed uninterested in talking to him, the middle-aged man shrank back and shut his mouth.

The field fell into a silence that lasted for the length of an incense stick.

"Tap! Tap! Tap!"

Footsteps approached from afar.

Hearing the noise, Lin Kai snapped out of his daze and looked up.

...

Looking at the swarm of armored soldiers walking towards him, Lin Kai was still somewhat moved.

Finally finished eating and got a good night's sleep... Your existence proves all the time that my idea of ​​recruiting soldiers was right!

However, Lin Kai had just stepped up to the leading soldier.

"That's enough!"

A delicate shout rang out.

Then, as Lin Kai turned his head, he saw...

"Lin Kai, you have trespassed into the Lu residence without permission, and now you've allowed a group of low-level thugs to cause a ruckus. What exactly are you trying to do?"

"If you think this will get my attention, you're sorely mistaken. I, Lu Qingyi, despise men like you the most!"

A woman dressed in a pale yellow ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) stepped lightly out of the crowd, her pretty face full of frost.

Lin Kai: !

That's it! This is exactly the flavor! Pure female-oriented!

Damn, at first I thought I'd traveled through time again...

"Who are you to the Lu family? The second daughter?"

Lin Kai's gaze lingered on the woman's face for a moment before he spoke curiously.

However, Lu Qingyi did not answer Lin Kai's question.

Instead, he gave a cold snort.

"And Father, you really are something else!"

"So what if he's a great general? My Lu family are still citizens of the Great Li Dynasty, aren't we? Don't we still pay taxes to the Great Li Dynasty?"

"A man as subservient as you, Father, has utterly disappointed me!"

Lu Qingyi turned to look at the middle-aged man, and stomped her foot as she finished speaking angrily.

Lin Kai: ?

Forget it, I hate purely female-oriented content...

Three short sentences delivered 18 blows to me—is that even fair? Is that reasonable?

He spat.

"Give me the entire Lu family..."

Turning to look at Lu Gongchang, who had dismounted, Lin Kai narrowed his eyes and spoke in a chilling tone.

The words "arrest them" had not yet been uttered.

【Host detected %】(Actually: Objects around the host were detected)

【卢府ほ次の卢清漪そこ90け%】(Actually: Lu Qingyi, the second daughter of the Lu family, is a 90-point beauty)

【将卢清漪%¥#&*けしか,让Íοξγ*地】(In reality: to capture Lu Qingyi's heart and soul, making her devoted to him)

【Complete Ωψ, obtain five thousand gold (this %‰≌gift ひふぬせ,将つぬ获得ねみはの满级はな)】(Actually: Complete the task and obtain five thousand taels of gold (this gold, if given to another woman, will immediately grant that woman maximum favorability)).

"? A mission appeared at this time?"

Lin Kai blinked as he looked at the data panel that suddenly popped up.

Five thousand taels of gold? To give to your subordinates and gain their maximum loyalty?

Is that really that awesome?

Thinking about this...

He met Lu Gongchang's questioning gaze.

"Bring the Lu family under control! Tie them all up!"

Lin Kai spoke fiercely.

Not only did I get to vent my anger, but I also got so many rewards. This trip was really worth it!

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Gongchang's mouth gaped open instantly.

He stared blankly at the Lu family patriarch, who had lowered his head in shame, and then at Lu Qingyi, who had turned her head in surprise after hearing these words.

"General, isn't this a bit...?"

Turning to meet Lin Kai's gaze, Lu Gongchang spoke with a troubled expression.

"What's wrong with it? Is it against the natural order?"

"No, since the general has given the order, I naturally have no objection. After all, the general is a general of the court and naturally represents the will of the court."

"Then why don't you go quickly?"

"However, since ancient times, the law has not applied to high-ranking officials. The Lu family is, after all, a gentry family, and they cannot be executed unless there is treason involved..."

"..."

Lin Kai's silence was deafening.

Why do I always feel so frustrated? Why can't I ever guess the beginning or the end?

He gritted his teeth.

"Lu Yao poisoned me, wouldn't you say that counts as treason!"

Lin Kai spoke, word by word.

When I get back, I'll ramp up recruitment efforts! If you guys don't drag our feet on the battlefield, I'll slit your throats!

"Of course it counts. According to Article 34 of the Dali Law, poisoning a third-rank official is considered treason."

Lu Gongchang lowered his head.

"Then why aren't you going?"

Lin Kai's eyes widened.

"But according to Article 45 of the Dali Law and the oral decree of the Dali Empress, women already have a difficult life, so their punishment should be reduced by one degree. In addition, the Lu family are gentry, so..."

"..."

Lin Kai shut his mouth.

Because he vaguely heard his central nervous system snap.

I took a deep breath.

"Very well, then this general will..."

Lin Kai spoke through gritted teeth, his right hand reaching for the sword at his waist.

His five fingers just gripped the sword hilt.

"Enough! Lin Kai, what are you still doing? Since my sister has wronged you, I, as her younger sister, will have dinner with you to apologize, okay?"
