Feng Muchi's self-confidence really makes people a little jealous, and indeed, Dongling Jiudu felt that if Xia Tan'er had to make a choice, Xia Tan'er would definitely choose Feng Muchi without hesitation. But as long as he can accomplish his goal, Dong Lingjiu can put aside this jealousy temporarily.
"So, Young Master Feng has already figured out a way?"
"Did that happen? Then the fifth princess of Xiling didn't arrive at Dongling Imperial City two days later. When she arrived, she said that if she dared to covet Tan'er's husband, I would give her life or death."
As he said that, Feng Muchi made a very vicious expression to show his strength.
Dong Lingjiu smiled slightly, and the cunning in his eyes deepened. After convincing Feng Muchi, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. After chatting with Feng Muchi for a few words, he walked out.
It's just that he never walked back to his tent. He stood at the door with his hands behind his back and glanced at the next door.
"Boom, boom, boom."
The soldiers on night watch fired their wooden sticks. It was already three o'clock, but the lights in the tent next door were still bright.
Dong Lingjiu's stopped steps moved again, heading towards Xia Tan'er's tent.
"Tan'er, this is my king."
Xia Tan'er looked for a voice and saw a tall figure standing outside. His silhouette was only reflected by the lights, but he looked particularly good-looking. This showed how awesome Dong Lingjiu's figure was.
"Come in."
After so long, Dong Lingjiu finally learned to inform him before entering the door. Xia Tan'er said that this progress was really great.
Dong Lingjiu lifted the door curtain, and the cold wind immediately came in through the gap. Xia Tan'er hurriedly tightened her coat.
"Close it quickly, I'm cold."
Dong Lingjiu glanced back, hurriedly pulled the door curtain and walked quickly to Xia Tan'er, holding her in his arms and wrapping him tightly.
"Is this better?"
Dong Lingjiu has internal strength, and his whole body is as warm as a stove. Even if the temperature outside is low, a single coat is enough to resist the cold.
As soon as Xia Tan'er got close to Wen Nuan, she huddled up and nestled in Dong Lingjiu's arms. She was worried that Dong Lingjiu would catch a cold and quickly pulled off her coat to cover the two of them.
"Well, much better. Uncle Nine Emperors is so warm."
Xia Tan'er hugged Dong Lingjiu with a satisfied look on her face, and pressed her whole little head into his arms, feeling Dong Lingjiu's pulsating heartbeat.
"Although the military camp is at the foot of the mountain, it is still much colder than the imperial city at night. The soldiers in the army have long been used to it. It's just that your body is still weak. You will get used to it in the future."
"Then do you want to stay here and be my little stove tonight?"
The naughty little hand picked up a strand of Dong Lingjiu's hanging hair in circles. Xia Tan'er's expression was as calm as usual when she spoke. If it weren't for the flash of cunning in her eyes, it seemed that she didn't even realize this sentence at all. How much turmoil this will bring to Donglingjiu.
With this sentence, there was no ambiguous teasing. Aventurine Jiu's face turned red under the weak candlelight. Xia Tan'er even felt a small bamboo shoot gradually rising from the place where she was sitting. It was very powerful. Poking her little butt.
"Tan'er, are you telling the truth?"
There is a hint of hoarseness in his usual magnetic voice, coupled with his eyes that are full of desire but are trying to restrain themselves and try to regain their composure. This Dong Lingjiu looks so alluring.
"Uncle Nine Emperors are you scared?"
"I have never been afraid. I am only afraid that you will regret it." As he spoke, there was a hint of tenderness. Dong Lingjiu looked at Xia Tan'er as if he were looking at a rare treasure, holding it in his hand for fear of breaking. , hold it in your mouth for fear of melting.
"Being a little stove doesn't mean you have to do anything, so how can you regret it?" They've already kissed each other, but they just slept together in the same bed, so there's nothing to regret.
Dong Lingjiu is becoming pretentious now. When she was on the hillside, she was so domineering that the aura around him was invading her bit by bit.
"Then I will comply with your request."
After saying that, he smacked Xia Tan'er's red lips.
Only then did Xia Tan'er realize that this is what it feels like to be in love. No wonder those young lovers in modern times kiss each other no matter what. It really tastes good.
Especially the cold bamboo fragrance exuding around Dongling Jiu's body, not to mention how good it smelled, Xia Tan'er was almost drunk.
"It's so late and you haven't rested yet. What are you busy with?"
Dong Lingjiu embraced the beauty and finally regained his sanity. Only then did he notice the piles of papers spread out on the table.
He freed up a hand to pick up a page and glanced at it casually, "It's used in warfare. If you win for a long time, your troops will be blunted and your enemies will be defeated. If you attack a city, your strength will be defeated..."
"Tan'er, these are the art of war?"
Dong Lingjiu was shocked. Why did Xia Tan'er know this? Could it be that Lu Yimo taught her? Thinking of Lu Yimo's feat back then, Dong Lingjiu felt that this was extremely possible. If that were the case, there would be no need to worry about her competition with Lu Yihai.
"Well, it's the Art of War. He's worthy of being the God of War in Dongling. You can tell it at a glance."
Xia Tan'er struggled to get up from Dong Lingjiu's arms and sorted out the pile of Sun Tzu's Art of War that she had written down several days ago one by one.
After she was admitted as a military doctor, she was sent to the National University of Defense Technology because of her outstanding performance. During the class there, everyone was very busy. Xia Tan'er spent a lot of effort to memorize and understand Sun Tzu's Art of War.
I learned it at first but had no use for it, but I didn’t expect that I would use it now.
"After I finish the competition, I will give this copy of the Art of War to you, and I will make another copy for my uncle."
"Your uncle shouldn't need it. They are all from the same lineage, but your uncle's understanding is not as high as your mother's."
"Huh? Uncle Nine Emperors, what are you talking about? How can any master come from the same lineage? This art of war is unique in the world. I am the only one who has it. How can any master come from the same lineage?"
Dongling Jiuyi was startled and turned to look at the art of war in Xia Tan'er's hand again.
"Show it to me."
"I won't give it to you. I'll give it to you after the competition is over. If I give it to you too early, you will be able to easily guess what strategy I am using. Then I will surprise you with something."
Xia Tan'er raised her hand and gently scraped the bridge of Dong Lingjiu's nose, and then touched the tip of his nose a little.
After realizing it, Dongling Jiu realized that she was actually being teased by Xia Tan'er. The way of teasing was a bit cute. Could she do more of this kind of behavior?
"Tan'er, you don't have to surprise me in this way. I am already yours. No one can take away my heart from you."
"It's a pleasure to make you want me."
Uncle Nine Emperors, they say that emperors are ruthless. I don’t know if your heart can stay with me for a long time. The only thing I know is that the higher I climb, the more powerful I will be. People like you will become more and more distant. Don't drive me.
Xia Tan'er did not tell Dong Lingjiu directly about this. She thought of women from ancient times to the present who were married as wives and took good care of the house. They were willing to be housewives and give up their prime years for the sake of their husbands and children. In the end, they were abandoned by their husbands and lived in misery. No end.
Xia Tan'er vowed that she would never be a woman dependent on men. She would try her best to climb higher than the sky until she stood at the top and despised everything.
