How come I, who has the physique of a succubus, was pushed back by the ship girl?

"I've told you a long time ago to be careful and not to rush into anything. Did you listen to me?"

"Lord Musashi asked me to assist you, but you always acted on your own will and ignored my words. You can't blame me."

"Hmm..." After thinking about it, it seemed to be true. Feeling guilty, Long Feng was too embarrassed to make any further explanation.

She scratched her cheek guiltily, and when the embarrassment passed, she patted Suruga's shoulder with her little hand and gave the other two a determined look.

"At this point, it's no use saying any more."

"Although we are now controlled by others, we must not abandon the spirit of a warrior. I hope that you can uphold your integrity and be loyal to your master when facing the interrogation of the enemy!"

"Of course, Master Longfeng, please rest assured!"

In response, Canglong and Feilong both nodded in agreement, but Suruga was the only one who remained silent, looking as if he was heavy with thoughts.

I don't know what she was thinking about. After a long time, she slowly opened her mouth to speak.

"I see."

Chapter 293: Let’s Get Married

Everything is wasted, time waits for no one.

Just when they reached an agreement, Zhou Xuan followed the invitation from Ying Tiancheng and came to her tent to meet her and listen to everything she wanted to say to him.

"Marry me, Zhou Xuan."

Zhou Xuan was stunned. He looked at the woman in red kimono in front of him, who slowly came to him step by step from a high position.

Then she gently took his big hand with her delicate little hand wrapped in black stockings and said it again.

"Marry me."

"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

The incident happened too suddenly, and Zhou Xuan was still a little confused. He couldn't help but think of Akagi far away in Akita Prefecture.

Not a family, do not enter the door.

When they first met, the younger sister wanted him to be her ally, and when they had their first physical contact, the older sister wanted him to be her ideal husband.

To be honest, Zhou Xuan was a playboy and had established boyfriend-girlfriend relationships with most of them.

If we really talk about the engagement, Amagi is still the first one. If we add the promise to Tirpitz, then let's just count it as the second one.

There is no one who doesn't want to grow old together with the girl he loves. Tiancheng's request can be said to have really touched Zhou Xuan's heart.

But he still retained some rationality, and with the comfort of her soft little hands, Zhou Xuan asked.

"What is the reason for getting married?"

"After all, you are second only to Akagi in status, and I am just a traveler. If we really follow the local rules, it should be considered as an inappropriate match."

"I want to hear your thoughts first."

"Because I like it. I wonder if this statement will satisfy you, Zhou Xuan?"

Hands held together without ever loosening, they were so close together, Amagi said with a smile.

“If I really want to explain why I like it, it’s actually very simple.”

"As a military commander, you have advanced strategic thinking and decisive decision-making ability. You are never vague and always decide who wins or who loses when you take action."

"And you have quite a few strange ideas, such as suggestions on increasing computing power and enhancing numerical values. I have never heard of them before."

"Not only that, you are also a good person, gentle and considerate. Akagi told me all of this in the letter."

"After observing for the past few days, my conclusion is roughly the same as hers."

"I wonder if this can explain my true feelings? If it's not enough to convince you, there is actually another reason."

"What is it?" Tiancheng kept it a secret, so Zhou Xuan lowered his head and asked.

"That's because you are handsome enough to suit my taste."

This is not something Tiancheng could say. It doesn't fit his personality. If it was Chicheng, Zhou Xuan might have believed it.

And the facts were indeed as he judged.

Such bold words went against his nature, and Tiancheng's originally fair face was involuntarily stained with a little blush due to shyness. He pretended to be calm.

It also further confirmed that her words were insincere.

Zhou Xuan spoke with a smile.

"Everything else is fine. As for the weird ideas, it's actually because of the Clearer."

"Because she's there to back me up, I can think of ways that ordinary people wouldn't dare to think of, so it's nothing."

"But that's also a reflection of your ability, isn't it?"

Tiancheng asked, and it was unclear whether she had anticipated Zhou Xuan’s possible rejection, her tone became a little more hurried.

"If she hadn't recognized your ability, how could she be willing to submit to you?"

"Through the previous battle, I found that her strength is not inferior to ours, and is even far superior to ours."

When his words were easily refuted and he noticed the obvious urgency in the girl's tone, Zhou Xuan paused.

In silence, he thought over all the reasons Amagi had said why he liked him, and his heart beat unnaturally, with a mixture of joy and sadness.

The two have known each other for a short time, and it has only been half a month in total.

Of course, given his physique, the possibility of mutual attraction is entirely possible, and he does not deny that.

The love might really exist, but Zhou Xuan felt it was too early to talk about marriage. At least it sounded inappropriate for Tiancheng to say it, so it was just right for Dafeng to say it.

Zhou Xuan didn't want to think too much about it, but if interests were really involved, even if he married the person he loved, it would not be pure and real.

Based on this, in order to respect her choice and clarify her thoughts, Zhou Xuan took the initiative to break the silence and gave his own answer after careful consideration.

"I am Akagi's ally and your partner. In other words, we are on the same boat."

"You don't have to worry about the future, and you don't have to do this. I will always be your most loyal partner."

"I also promised Ayanami that I would work with her to break the shadow of the Sakura Empire and rescue Nagato."

"So, let's forget about this so-called marriage. It's not sincere and my intentions are not right. I'd rather not have it."

Sure enough, with his intelligence he easily saw through his true intentions.

But what she didn't expect was that when she heard his last sentence, her chest felt like it was hit hard by someone. She was speechless and didn't know how to respond.

In the end, he could only lower his head and pretend to respond deeply.

"Really... Have you guessed it? As expected, I can't hide it from you..."

"You know what? This decision was not made on a whim. It was the product of my thinking hundreds of times."

"Now that I've said it, it officially represents my determination."

"To be honest, if you ask me why I like you and what I like about you, I have no idea at the moment."

"As for your demeanor, I like the way you are calm and composed in the meeting room. As for your heroic demeanor, I can't forget the way you command thousands of troops."

"But you also have a normal side. Sometimes you are lazy, like a stranded salted fish, but at critical moments you are always full of energy.

"I don't take responsibility, and I always want to put all the things on your shoulders."

"It's because it switches back and forth between the magical and the ordinary, and there's no sense of distance, so I naturally fell in love with it..."

After finally saying everything in his heart, Tiancheng suddenly felt that the heavy pressure on him disappeared.

What follows is the re-emergence of vitality and courage.

Tiancheng suddenly raised his head, and beneath the ends of his hair were his red eye sockets filled with tears and his pure pupils reflected the boy's face.

Then, there came her deafening cry from the bottom of her heart.

"Yes, the political marriage is true, and I really like you. As for the root of the matter, I would like to ask you, Zhou Xuan."

"Do I need a reason to like someone?!"

This was the question she asked herself, but Zhou Xuan could no longer answer it.

Suddenly, someone covered his lips roughly, and he could only say something silently in his heart.

This world is too chaotic, even the reserved Tiancheng has changed a lot...

Chapter 294: Unite all forces that can be united!

Zhou Xuan agreed, and taking advantage of the fact that the enemy was still unclear about the situation and did not dare to attack rashly, the two of them temporarily set their engagement for a week later.

This is the reason Tiancheng gave him on the surface. There is nothing wrong with it, but it sounds like he is afraid of the long night and many dreams.

Zhou Xuan didn't think much about it. After agreeing, Tiancheng also returned to his previous reserved demeanor as a counselor.

However, there were a lot of changes compared to before. The glances and words between the lines were all full of the charm of a little woman, which made Zhou Xuan feel itchy and found it difficult to adapt for a while.

Especially the name given to him.

"Husband, in your opinion, how should we plan the next action?"

"Ryu-Phoenix and Cang-Lung have been eliminated. Izumo is the only enemy left in our front."

"It's hard to stand alone. I guess her defeat will be a matter of time."

Calling her husband and fitting his body as closely as possible, and all these things made him uncomfortable.

Zhou Xuan slightly widened the distance between them and had something to say.

"Wait, Tiancheng, why are you addressing me like this now? Aren't you married yet?"

"Besides, aren't you from Sakura? How did you think of calling me husband? It sounds like something Yixian would say, which sounds weird."

Compared to Zhou Xuan, who had more experience, Tiancheng didn't think so much.

She simply based her decision on Zhou Xuan's background and his local culture, and then found a name that suited her taste to use as a title between lovers.

Zhou Xuan was really not used to it at the moment, so she didn't insist. She put her slender jade fingers to her lips, rolled her eyes, and thought for a while.

Soon after, he raised his index finger, his tone somewhat excited.

"If the name of Donghuang is not appropriate, why not use the name of the native Sakura Empire?"

"What do you think of the title of Master? Why don't I demonstrate it to you?"

As if worried that Zhou Xuan didn't have a very specific concept in his mind, Tiancheng took a few steps back, kept his distance, and crossed his hands in front of him.

Then, she bent her waist and bowed respectfully, while speaking in a gentle voice similar to that of Yamato Nadeshiko.

"Welcome back, Master. You've worked hard all day. Everything has been prepared for you. Do you want to take a shower first? Or do you want to eat?"

If he really had a choice, Zhou Xuan would of course choose to have them all, but after all, it was a reenactment, just talk, so he naturally had to be serious.

"Ahem, I decided... to consider the subsequent deployment issues first."

With a chuckle, the two people looked at each other and laughed at the same time, then they closed the distance between them and huddled together.

Even though it sounded awkward, in the end, Zhou Xuan still chose the original title.

The reason is simple. Considering the current situation of Sakura Empire, the title of master sounds like an evil slave owner, which is contrary to Zhou Xuan's belief that shines with a red heart.

Tiancheng naturally complied.

"My husband, your consideration is not unreasonable. We have the ability to strengthen the yellow chicken soldiers. If we use this advantage reasonably, we can push forward smoothly without wasting time or effort."

"But if possible, I would like to try my best to fight for Izumo's side."

"After all, from the surface, she was also kept in the dark and had no idea of ​​the actual situation currently happening in Kyoto Prefecture."

"Before, Longfeng was there. Now she has been captured by us. Why don't we write a letter to Yuyun to explain the facts to her and persuade her to turn back? What do you think?"

Zhou Xuan had not been in Sakura Empire for long, and he did not know much about the inner workings among the princes. He did not have much to consider in this regard.

As the top strategist of Sakura Empire, since Amagi said so, he would just act according to her plan, but he was concerned about another issue.

"The righteous will have many supporters, while the unrighteous will have few. I agree with your idea, but how can you ensure that Izumo is kept in the dark?"

"What if she has been bribed by Musashi and you just let her go? Wouldn't all your efforts be wasted?"

This statement spoke to Zhong Tiancheng's heart. She had actually thought about this question when she was considering it.

When she was alone, she could still convince herself based on her understanding of her, but now in front of Zhou Xuan, she had to give a clear plan.
