It's about helping you navigate the female-oriented online community, not conquering cities and

Lin Kai thought that she did indeed look pitiful.

After all, if we don't talk about the beginning, we forget about the middle and the end. What does it mean for a military governor to plead for those who rebel?

"I overestimated the female-oriented genre..."

"In the eyes of female readers, the title 'Jiedushi' might really just refer to an official..."

Lin Kai was a little conflicted.

He might not even be as powerful as a Minister of Works... After all, a military governor is roughly equivalent to a general in rank...

After all, these people wouldn't understand the true value of having soldiers, food, and wealth.

While Lin Kai was feeling a bit of a headache.

"Hey! Say something!"

"And why are you pointing that longsword at me? Are you already eager to show off your male chauvinism?"

Finally noticing the long sword across her neck, Yan Ruoxue stomped her foot, put her hands on her hips, and spoke angrily.

This is still in the very early stages, and they're already trying to intimidate me?

No, in order to avoid being bullied after I marry him, I have to let him know that I'm not someone to be trifled with!

"?"

Hearing this delicate shout, Lin Kai came back to his senses.

He glanced at Yan Ruoxue in front of him, then at the long sword he was holding.

"I'm telling you, you can't rely on..."

"Pfft!"

The next moment, before Yan Ruoxue could finish speaking, a beautiful head was raised high as blood spurted out.

【目标つふぬぬ，て&%￥*，%*ほ完成】(Actually: The target character dies, the mission cannot be completed, and it is automatically judged as completed)

[The host has received 200,000 taels of gold!]

【Two hundred thousand taels of gold (that %‰≌gift ひふぬせ，将つぬ获得ねみはの满级はな)】(In reality: Two hundred thousand taels of gold (that gold, if given to another woman, will immediately grant that woman maximum favorability))

...

Although Lin Kai's sudden killing caused the once bustling Baiyu Road to erupt in a series of panicked shouts.

But Lin Kai ignored him.

After spitting on Yan Ruoxue's corpse.

Lin Kai took out a silk cloth from his pocket and wiped the blood-stained longsword.

then.

"Once inside the prefect's residence, immediately take control of everyone inside, especially..."

Lin Kai turned his head and looked at the captain following behind him.

Upon hearing this instruction...

"Here you go!"

The captain bowed and accepted.

...

Lin Kai's process of taking control of the prefectural government was brutal.

After taking control of the prefect's mansion, Lin Kai's first order was to see if there was a girls' school there.

After all, one is the son of a military governor who is a domineering CEO, and the other is a naive and innocent girl. It is still uncertain whether Jin'an City can be saved.

However, as the search continued...

"Young master, there are no girls' schools in Jin'an City."

"However, a document was found in the prefect's mansion, which recorded why Yan Taiping opened the city gates wide."

Cui Ji then eagerly ran over to report.

"No?"

Lin Kai was still surprised when he heard the first sentence.

You guessed wrong?

But after hearing the next sentence...

"The military governor of Dingzhou took a twenty-eighth concubine, and the military governor of Jinzhou went to congratulate him."

Cui Ji took out a document from his pocket and handed it to Lin Kai.

Lin Kai: Huh?

"So it doesn't matter if the city gates of Jin'an are wide open, right?"

"Uh... this is all because of you, young master..."

"?"

Looking at Cui Ji, Lin Kai raised his eyebrows.

"Yan Taiping felt that since it was a joyous occasion for the military governor of Dingzhou, he should naturally give him face. So Yan Taiping led 300 elite soldiers and set off the day before yesterday."

"..."

"Because Yan Taiping was not there, and no one was there to restrain Yan Chang'an, Yan Chang'an hurriedly led 10 elite troops out of the city after learning that An Younan had gone to Zhenliaocheng."

"Wait, 10 elite troops?"

"Yes, it was 10, but halfway there Yan Taiping felt it was not right, so he sent another deputy general with 5 elite troops to Dongpingzhou to borrow troops."

"..."

"But that has nothing to do with the city gates of Jin'an being wide open, does it?"

"Young Master, have you forgotten? Did Madam used to order the doors to be closed when you went out to play?"

"what?"

Lin Kai looked on in shock as he met Cui Ji's gaze.

Wait a minute, does this make sense? This is an entire city! How can it be compared to just one family?

I've seen mothers leave their children's doors ajar when their sons don't return home; what does it mean when a military governor's wife orders the city gates to be left ajar?

And what the hell was that in front of me?

What does it mean for a military governor who has his own army to ask another military governor who also has his own army to borrow troops?

"Groove-like..."

Thinking of this, Lin Kai spat to the side with a look of utter displeasure.

Forget it... I wouldn't know anything about female-oriented content...

Stand up.

"Select 300 soldiers to accompany me to Yan's residence."

Lin Kai walked towards the front door, waving without turning his head.

...

Objectively speaking, Lin Kai was still quite curious as he walked towards the Yan residence.

What on earth is this family of the Jinzhou military governor?

First a domineering CEO, then a naive and innocent girl, and then a military governor's wife who "opens the city gates wide"...

However, I would also like to express my gratitude.

After all, the Cloud-Piercing Hand still possessed two hundred thousand taels of gold, and most importantly, he had taken over the entire Jinzhou without shedding a drop of blood.

However, after Lin Kai led everyone to the entrance of Yan's residence with mixed feelings, he was deeply moved.

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

【晋州节度使之せ蒋瑶芝そこ90け%】(Actually: Jiang Yaozhi, wife of the Jinzhou Jiedushi, is a 90-point beauty)

【将蒋瑶芝%￥#&*けしか，让Íοξγ*地】(Actually: To capture Jiang Yaozhi's heart and soul, making her completely devoted to him)

【Complete Ωψ, obtain 200,000 taels of 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 200,000 taels of gold (This gold, if given to another woman, will immediately grant that woman maximum favorability)).

"Another two hundred thousand taels of gold?"

Seeing the data panel that suddenly popped up, Lin Kai stopped in his tracks in surprise.

While Lin Kai was curious.

"Crunch—"

As the gates of the Yan residence were pushed open.

"Lin Kai, right?"

"I have been waiting for you for a long time."

A charming yet mature voice rang out.

Immediately afterward, in Lin Kai's view, a middle-aged woman dressed in a light blue elegant dress slowly walked out after her legs crossed the threshold.

I saw this woman.

"This is the Empress? Which country's princess is she? But the system didn't mention it..."

Lin Kai raised an eyebrow, a little puzzled.

"Is this a title not used by a member of the royal family?" Who exactly is this person?

It's definitely not Dali, nor Dayu, it's... wait, does the intelligence report say that the military governor of Jinzhou married a princess from another country?

I hesitated for a moment.

"I never imagined that someone as simple as Lin could actually..."

With his right hand on the hilt of his sword, Lin Kai strode toward Jiang Yaozhi.

I've just taken one step.

"How dare you! I am, after all, a second-rank imperial lady personally bestowed by the court. How dare you not kneel before me?"

Jiang Yaozhi raised her eyebrows slightly, and then angrily rebuked him.

What's going on? Why does my heart keep pounding whenever I see Lin Kai?

Am I not already a married woman? Why did I have such a filthy thought for a moment just now?

Lin Kai: ? Shouldn't she call herself a noblewoman? You, this empress...

"I'm just a mere martial artist; how would I know so many rules?"

With a sneer and a shake of his head, Lin Kai continued walking towards Jiang Yaozhi.

Fine, fine... I'll just chop you up if I get too close!

Upon hearing Lin Kai's words...

"Fine."

Jiang Yaozhi's expression softened.

She brushed the stray strands of hair from her forehead.

After Lin Kai walked five steps in front of him.

"Since you're here, then I presume Chang'an and the others are already in your hands?"

"In that case, I will ask my husband to petition the Emperor on your behalf and seek his forgiveness. How about you give me face and let these children go?"

"The victor is king, the loser is villain; I have nothing to say about that, but these children are innocent."

Seeing Lin Kai walking towards her, Jiang Yaozhi waved her hand.

Lin Kai: ?

"Let's put that aside for now, but I'd like to borrow something from you, Madam. I wonder if that's possible..."

With a forced smile, Lin Kai drew his sword with his thumb.

The longsword had just been drawn an inch from its sheath.

"No! My husband is utterly loyal to the imperial court!"

"Now that you have raised an army in rebellion, the whole world knows. If your husband helps you, wouldn't that give others ammunition to criticize you?"

Jiang Yaozhi shook her head and spoke with a firm expression.

Lin Kai: ?

Even though I cheated on you and had an affair with another man, I still love you, right?

Although I command a large army and control a region, I am loyal to the imperial court, right?

Taking a deep breath, Lin Kai was about to draw his longsword again.

"However, if you can agree to one condition, then it's not impossible."

Jiang Yaozhi lowered her head, her face flushed with embarrassment, and spoke softly.

He paused after saying that.

"According to the laws of Dali, if a woman files for divorce, she can receive half of the man's property."

"However, this means I can only command 5 troops and control half of Jinzhou's territory."

"So you have to promise me compensation of 5 elite soldiers, a dowry of at least 200 million taels of gold, and also conquer a territory no less valuable than Jinzhou, and then give it to me."

"As you know, women need a sense of security, especially women like me who are a little older."

Jiang Yaozhi spoke softly, her hands twisting her dress as she spoke.

No, no, I can't take it anymore... The closer Lin Kai got to me, the more my heart pounded wildly.

He paused after saying that.

"I have always been in charge of the finances and grain distribution in Jinzhou, so I am very experienced and can guarantee that I can help you manage everything well."

"Don't think I'm asking for too much. I just want your attitude. Besides, I'm doing this for your own good. After all, men are responsible for external affairs and women for internal affairs."

Jiang Yaozhi added, her head bowing even lower as she spoke.

...

Lin Kai was still feeling a bit upset.

After all, I'd accept even if you used magic, but what do you mean by saying that?

Take a deep breath.

"call out!"

With a flick of his wrist, Lin Kai gripped the hilt of the sword.

"You think you're worthy?"

Lin Kai swung his longsword toward Jiang Yaozhi's neck and grinned maliciously.
