I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1858 - 1859: Smiling Extra Gently

The brief exchange of words nearly made Lü Fengxian somewhat lose control. After all, she was a woman, and one who had been residing in sweet memories for a long time. Ever since you parted ways the last time, you frequently appeared in her dreams, and over time, Lü Fengxian naturally developed an inseparable emotion toward you.

To avoid losing control of her emotions, Lü Fengxian swiftly shifted the topic. Although she purposely lowered her voice, without the helmet to muffle it, it became clear and melodious, even carrying a hint of feminine charm: "Reveal your true intentions."

You smiled, knowing that Lü Fengxian didn’t want to continue meandering in matters of the heart, and you too felt it was not the right time to do so. You smiled and said, "I already mentioned earlier, this time I’ve come to seek you out to conspire in assassinating Dong Zhuo."

Only then did Lü Fengxian settle her mind, frowning as she stared at you: "You’re sure you’re not joking with me."

You looked at Lü Fengxian helplessly, pointing at yourself and said, "Do I seem like the kind of person who jokes around?"

Lü Fengxian nodded firmly.

You immediately smacked your forehead and said with a wry smile, "Alright, I admit, I can be a bit of a prankster usually, but this time, I’m serious."

Lü Fengxian lowered her eyebrows in contemplation; after a while, she looked up at you and said, "Actually, I’ve also been contemplating this matter over the past few days. After all, I despise the current imperial lineage, but what Dong Zhuo has done is excessively cruel and vicious. However, assassinating Dong Zhuo is a significant matter; if not controlled well, it could lead to big trouble."

"Does Dong Zhuo have experts by his side?" All you need is to eliminate Dong Zhuo. The rest of the matters have nothing to do with you.

"Yes, Dong Zhuo has a very secretive group of experts, and Dong Zhuo himself is quite capable. In his youth, he relied on his formidable prowess to conquer the entire Northwest."

You pondered for a moment and said, "Regardless of how he was in his youth, once a person ages, their reactions slow down, especially when they’re highly agitated. I have a plan. Dong Zhuo’s actions, whether in Luoyang or Chang’an, have exceeded what the common man can endure. Moreover, he has indulged himself thoroughly, to the extent that whatever the Emperor was supposed to do, he has done, and whatever the Emperor hasn’t done, he has also done. Therefore, I will have Wang Yun and some other officials persuade Dong Zhuo to become Emperor. Before this happens, it is best to first have Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, and others leave Chang’an. At that time, I’ll lay in ambush among the officials to attack Dong Zhuo, and you will swiftly eliminate all remnants of Dong Zhuo’s faction within Chang’an City."

Lü Fengxian fell into silent thoughts; after a moment, she looked up at you: "Your plan is similar to what my strategist envisioned. However, it would be extremely dangerous for you to assassinate Dong Zhuo alone, and even if you kill Dong Zhuo, the experts around him will surely pursue you to the ends of the earth."

"Are you worried about me?" you suddenly laughed.

Lü Fengxian rolled her eyes at you, annoyed: "I’m discussing serious matters with you, don’t interrupt!"

"Alright, alright! You continue, you continue."

"Let my people handle killing Dong Zhuo. I have a competent team at hand, and to kill Dong Zhuo, one must also be ready to face death." Lü Fengxian’s expression was steady, yet her gaze toward you was exceptionally gentle.

However, you shook your head with a smile and said, "I must personally eliminate Dong Zhuo; only this way can I achieve my goal."

Lü Fengxian hesitated for a moment, then softly sighed: "But, I’m truly worried. Although I haven’t seen those people, they’ve always hidden in the shadows, and every time I approach Dong Zhuo, a vague sense of fatal danger arises."

You stood up and approached Lü Fengxian. Taking advantage of her moment of bewilderment, you swiftly kissed her forehead and softly said, "Rest assured, there aren’t many in this world capable of killing me."

Being teased by you like this, Lü Fengxian’s beautiful face became extremely radiant. She looked at you, wanting to speak but hesitating, and above her flushed cheeks was a shadow of unresolved concern. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Furthermore, anyone in this world can kill Dong Zhuo, but not you. After all, you have acknowledged Dong Zhuo as a sworn father; regardless of your reasons, morally and in terms of etiquette, you shouldn’t do this."

Lü Fengxian remained silent.

"Alright, if I lacked the ability to protect myself, I wouldn’t be here to meet you. Besides, I aim to surpass you, and if I can’t handle such minor matters, how will I defeat you in the future?"

Lü Fengxian didn’t expect you would say this, especially right in front of her.

Seeing that you managed to divert Lü Fengxian’s attention, you grinned. In Lü Fengxian’s eyes, your smile appeared particularly gentle, giving her a warm feeling.

"Let’s discuss the specific details further; other matters can come later. This mission must be executed with swift precision and decisiveness."

"Hmm..."

You and Lü Fengxian talked for a long time, covering all the details. When Zhang Xiu returned to the city dejectedly with his troops, Lü Fengxian’s carriage paid a visit to Prime Minister Wang Yun, and naturally, you were also in the carriage.

Apart from you, there was another middle-aged man in the carriage. This person didn’t have an outstanding appearance, but he had a pair of lively eyes, and since his arrival had not spoken. When he saw you, he merely nodded politely. Lü Fengxian didn’t introduce him to you, and seeing this, you decided to ignore him, treating him as if he weren’t there.

After meeting with Wang Yun, you had an in-depth discussion about the plan.

By the time the plan was finalized, it was already nighttime. Wang Yun wanted to host a banquet for Lü Fengxian and the middle-aged man, but both of them courteously declined. However, you were a man of appetite and, even after Lü Fengxian and the middle-aged man left, you continued to feast in Wang Yun’s study.

Halfway through the meal, you noticed that the oil lamp had dimmed considerably, so you asked the servant to replace it. As you lowered your head, a flash of light suddenly stung your right eye, and as you glanced over, you found a knife placed conspicuously. The blade appeared quite ancient, and the sheath was merely a layer of hand-stitched animal hide, though the type of hide was unknown from its appearance.

You rose and walked toward the knife.

The maid serving you saw this and hurriedly said, "Sir, that is the master’s cherished possession!"

You ignored the maid and directly grabbed the knife. You unsheathed it from the leather sheath and observed the blade under the lamp. From its appearance, the knife seemed quite ordinary, even embodying a simplicity that returned to authenticity. Moreover, the blade wasn’t sharp, resembling more of an ornamental knife.

If anything, the blade was of a dark gold color, a material you hadn’t come across either in this world or in your previous one. You lightly tapped the blade with your finger, discovering it didn’t make a clear metallic sound, but rather a subdued tone, hard to describe.

You weighed the knife in your hand, feeling uninspired, prepared to return the knife to its place when your palm accidentally brushed against the blade. For the first time since arriving in this world, you felt the pain of being cut by a sharp object.

Looking at the blood flowing from your palm, at first, you were stunned. As you collected your thoughts, you hurriedly instructed the maid, "Quickly, summon your master."

"Yes."
