Chapter 81

: A Grassland Woman Experiences Exotic Customs!

Ying Changqing was familiar with Nangong Pushe's lips, having tasted them many times.

She's not usually shy, but now she's blushing and looking away, which means her mood has changed.

"I'm about to conquer the most beautiful woman in the world."

Ying Changqing stood up after thinking about it.

"You all enjoy your meal. I'm going to the training ground to interrogate those Xiongnu people."

"Your Highness, would you like me to go with you?"

Hearing Nüying's question, Ying Changqing shook his head.

"It's nothing, you sisters should get some rest."

"Tonight, you sisters will help Li Wu."

After saying this, Ying Changqing kissed Ehuang Zuichun on the forehead, smiled, and left.

When Nüying heard the word "helper," she pouted and looked at her sister dejectedly.

Ehuang also showed a helpless expression.

The telepathic connection between the two sisters allowed them to coordinate better and become stronger in battle.

However, sometimes this shared perception can make them very weak in combat.

Therefore, whether fighting alongside Yan Fei or Li Wu, they can only serve as support, not as the main force.

It's just an extra treat at best; it'll soon fall into a deep sleep.

……

Ying Changqing left the city lord's mansion and arrived at the training ground.

The drill ground was orderly, and the Xiongnu prisoners did not escape during the night.

When they saw Ying Changqing, they immediately knelt down to pay their respects.

Ying Changqing ignored the prisoners and went straight to the main tent in the center.

When we entered the main tent, Mei San Niang was sitting inside, wearing silver armor.

Because they had to watch over prisoners, they couldn't train the army, which was very boring.

Seeing Ying Changqing enter, Mei San Niang happily went to greet him.

"Your Highness, you've arrived."

Ying Changqing walked directly to the head seat and sat down.

He looked at Mei San Niang and asked, "San Niang, have the battle merits from yesterday been tallied?"

"Your Highness, the military advisor Li Huaiyuan you recommended has compiled a detailed list overnight. Please review it."

Mei San Niang picked up a light blue folding book from the table and handed it to Ying Changqing.

Li Huaiyuan was the county magistrate whom Ying Changqing met in Weihe County.

He was loyal to the Qin Dynasty and had talent. Ying Changqing appreciated him and transferred him to Fufeng, entrusting him with important work.

Ying Changqing took the folding book and said with a smile, "His first task upon taking office was to record military achievements."

He quickly glanced at the contents of the folded book, and after confirming that everything was correct, he returned it to Mei San Niang.

"The reward is in accordance with the laws of the Qin Dynasty."

Ying Changqing said, "Besides the 100 gold coins I promised yesterday for the first place winner, the rest will be converted into land and distributed to the soldiers."

"In addition, I will give each person ten acres of good land as an extra reward from me."

Fufeng City was short of money, so all the silver in the treasury was converted into land.

Fufeng is a large place with a small population, and it has no shortage of good land.

For soldiers, land was more important than money.

Top-quality farmland is expensive and unaffordable for ordinary people.

Ying Changqing wasn't afraid of the soldiers' complaints; he knew they would be grateful to him.

"Yes, Your Highness."

After Mei San Niang agreed, her gaze towards Ying Changqing became even more adoring, without her realizing that there were other feelings involved.

Money is gone once it's spent, but land is different; it yields a harvest every year and can be passed down to future generations.

"Now that the army in Fufeng City is strong, we are no longer afraid of the Xiongnu invading."

"The soldiers will be very happy to hear that they will receive good land as a reward."

"On their behalf, I thank Your Highness."

Mei San Niang was very happy to see the soldiers receiving a reward, and Ying Changqing nodded.

"Third Sister, what reward do you want?"

Mei San Niang immediately and resolutely said, "I only want to kill Lü Buwei to avenge my master."

"I don't want anything else."

Ying Changqing smiled and shook his head: "A ruler must be clear about the distinction between public and private matters in order to win the respect of the people. You should understand this principle, Third Sister."

He took out a golden book called "The Art of Everlasting Spring" from his pocket.

"Third Sister deserves the most credit for forming the Blood Dragon Cavalry. Since you are not greedy for money, this martial arts manual is your reward."

"It can keep you young and enhance your strength."

Upon hearing this, Mei San Niang's eyes lit up immediately, and she happily accepted the precious manual.

Although Mei San Niang was brave in battle, she was, after all, a woman and longed to stay young forever.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

After saying this, Mei San Niang knelt on one knee and thanked Ying Changqing with great emotion.

Ying Changqing stood up and reached out to help her up.

The moment their bodies touched, Mei San Niang froze as if she had been electrocuted.

Ying Changqing didn't notice Mei San Niang's unusual behavior and said directly, "San Niang, you don't need to be so polite."

"As long as you are loyal to me, you can avenge your master and realize your dream of becoming a female general."

Normally, Mei San Niang would be very happy to hear this.

But now, all she noticed was Ying Changqing holding her hand.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

She gave a perfunctory response and immediately withdrew her hand.

Then he grabbed the files on the table and turned to leave.

At this moment, Ying Changqing called out to Mei San Niang.

"Where did you lock up Bitton yesterday? I need to ask him some questions. Send someone to bring him here."

Mei San Niang nodded, not daring to look at Ying Changqing, and hurriedly replied, "Yes."

After saying that, he quickly left the tent.

Ying Changqing stared at Mei San Niang's back and her reddened earlobes, then looked at his own hands and began to think.

Bi Dun was quickly brought by the guards to Ying Changqing in the military tent.

"Your Highness, Biton has arrived."

Ying Changqing nodded. "Yes, step down."

"Yes."

After the soldiers left, Bitton immediately ran to Ying Changqing, knelt down and kowtowed.

"Bi Dun pays his respects to His Highness Ying Changqing of the Great Qin Kingdom."

Get up.

Ying Changqing looked at Bi Dun and asked directly, "Bi Dun, who controlled those two golden eagles that were staring at me yesterday? Was it you?"

"Only the Xiongnu royal family possessed this kind of beast-taming technique."

Upon hearing this, Bitton looked troubled and did not reply.

"You don't want to tell me?"

Ying Changqing's tone turned cold. After struggling for a long time, Bi Dun sighed and said, "Replying to Your Highness."

"My daughter was the one controlling those two golden eagles."

"The art of beast taming is a secret of our Xiongnu royal family, but I've only mastered it to a mediocre degree."

Upon hearing Biton's reply, Ying Changqing raised his head and instructed the door, "Go and bring Biton's daughter here. Remember, you are not allowed to harm her."

"Yes, sir."

The taxi driver outside answered in response, followed by the sound of footsteps receding into the distance.

At this moment, Ying Changqing stood up and slowly walked towards Bi Dun.

"Do you want to die, or do you want to live?"

"I want to live, I want to live, I want to live..." Biton kowtowed repeatedly without thinking.

"Since you want to live, I'll give you a way out."

Biton suddenly looked up, his eyes sparkling with surprise.

"Please give me your orders, whatever they may be, and I will do my best to comply."

Ying Changqing looked down at Bi Dun.

"I will plant a curse mark inside you."

"With a single thought from me, you will die instantly, no matter where you are, and no one but me can undo it."

"But the seal needs your voluntary acceptance. If you resist, the seal will fail, and don't blame me."

Upon hearing this, Bi Dun's expression changed drastically.

He understood perfectly well.

Once this curse mark is placed on him, he will be Ying Changqing's slave for life.

But he still gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, sir, I will obey completely and will never resist."

"very good."

Ying Changqing immediately patted Bi Dun on the shoulder.

The Soul-Eating Curse Mark burrowed into his body like a venomous snake.
