I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1929 - 1931: I Want Her to Be My Woman

The man hesitated for a moment: "This... to be honest with you, General, I am now a subordinate of General Liu Pan..."

"If you think doing odd jobs for Liu Pan is more important than your own son’s life, then I won’t bother to waste any more words." Your lips slightly curled into an indescribable smile, as you gently placed your hand on the young man’s chest. The man then noticed that the young man’s coughing had noticeably subsided.

"I’ve temporarily repaired his lungs with my energy, but if you haven’t reached Xuzhou City within half a month, prepare for the worst. Whether you go or not is up to you." With that said, you stood up and left under the gaze of the man and the young man.

As for the identity of this father and son, it wasn’t particularly important to you. Since coming to this world, your judgment of the talents in this world wasn’t limited to the famous figures in history, naturally because you aren’t all that familiar with the Three Kingdoms. In your eyes, anyone with ability, regardless of their fame, would be recruited under your banner.

Your conversation with the father and son naturally made you miss the greeting party. However, you didn’t plan to participate anyway, so you returned alone to the previous residence of Wang Can. This small courtyard was a property Wang Can owned on the outside, known by few, only some of Wang Can’s closer friends.

Returning to the courtyard, you found someone sitting in the hall, and from the back, you knew the person’s identity right away, and couldn’t help but ask, "De Gui, as a close friend of Zhong Xuan, you should be busy right now, so why have you come here for leisure?"

Cai Mao took a slow sip of hot tea and smiled, "Yan Yi, I’ve been waiting here for you for quite a while."

"What are you looking for me for?"

You sat directly opposite Cai Mao and poured yourself a cup of hot tea as well. Your constitution was different from ordinary people; the boiling hot tea was poured straight down your throat, and you didn’t even bother spitting out the tea leaves, swallowing them whole.

Even though Cai Mao had seen this bold way of drinking tea several times, each time he felt an involuntary sense of admiration.

"Naturally to drink wedding wine."

"Wedding wine?" you chuckled, "Not interested."

Honestly speaking, you’re not the type who likes crowds, especially in a strange place surrounded by unfamiliar faces. Moreover, this isn’t your territory, and if anyone recognizes you here, it could be troublesome. Although your target this trip is the Emperor Yu, if you could also bring Jingzhou under control, you’d be quite willing.

After all, Cai Xiao is just a woman, no matter how shrewd she is, her sense of the bigger picture is still not as grand as a man’s. Jingzhou is the dwelling place for the Cai Family, and it’s naturally impossible for them to move. Despite the envy across the Nine Provinces of Xuzhou’s wealth, their roots are still in Jingzhou.

Cai Xiao conspired with you primarily to rely on you as a support pillar, to prevent others from occupying Jingzhou after Liu Biao’s death. However, Cai Xiao still underestimated you; she thought that with Lujiang and Huanan between Xuzhou and Jingzhou, and since these two regions are now under Cao Cao’s control, no matter how capable you are, it would be impossible to sweep across them and advance into Jingzhou. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The so-called women’s insights can be understood broadly and narrowly. Women’s thinking can be so detailed that it can outshine men in managing some intricate details; however, in the vast range of strategies, and even in analysis capability, they still fall short.

In fact, early this morning, after leaving Cai Xiao’s warship, you quietly infiltrated the Longmen Escort Agency Branch in Jingzhou City. Currently, Longmen Escort Agency’s business covers the entire Jingzhou. Although monitored by Liu Biao everywhere, as long as they behave, Liu Biao wouldn’t interfere with their normal operations. After all, the existence of Longmen Escort Agency also boosts Jingzhou’s economy. Besides, the branch in Jingzhou only has about a hundred people, insufficient to cause any trouble.

After finding the person in charge, you instructed them to send the latest orders to Yangzhou City, the city closest to Jiangxia County, using falcons. In the order, you required Zhao Yun and Li Chong to each lead two thousand soldiers, infiltrating Huanan and Lujiang, respectively. Once they received the command, they must take the entire counties within a day and catch Xiahou Dun, currently stationed in Yuzhou, off guard!

Once the two counties are conquered, it means the way from Xuzhou to Jingzhou will be unobstructed, and you could easily dispatch a hundred thousand troops into Jingzhou!

After persistent declines, Cai Mao could only leave, as it’s impossible to force you to go.

As Cai Mao departed, you also stepped out shortly thereafter. With nothing else to do, you decided to take a walk.

Since your walk was aimless, and you preferred to choose more secluded paths, after a few rounds, you realized you seemed to have gotten slightly lost. At this time, as the lamps first lit up, with the surroundings offering a rare, unique scenery, you leapt into the courtyard of a household, leaning leisurely on the branch of a century-old tree within the courtyard, taking in the sight of numerous household lights.

Sometimes, you just want to find a quiet place to be alone, not thinking about anything, just letting the wind blow past and watching the scenery around you. At such times, you dislike being disturbed by anyone.

Your ambition isn’t entirely genuine, but more often changed due to your family, much like your desire to conquer the world.

In your opinion, as a man, you must create an absolutely safe environment for your family and friends. Thus, only by sending all enemies into the grave can you be at ease. Essentially, you are not a heroic leader, and more often, merely an Evil Man. Your goals are simple, and your methods straightforward, never willing or wanting to beat around the bush.

Just like in the case with Cai Xiao, if it were someone else, they might just use her and end her life once she’s of no use. But you are different; often, you simply feel sorry for this woman, hence even after controlling Jingzhou, you wouldn’t immediately take action against the various clans in Jingzhou, maintaining the current state of affairs instead.

Moreover, the most crucial thing is that you care more about the Empress, as here, you must have a decisive outcome with her.

And as of now, you do not know where the Empress is.

Unknowingly, a leisurely sound of a guqin came from somewhere.

You’re not musically inclined, even more so with guqin; listening to the melodious tune, you feel both your body and mind relaxing as if billowing in the breeze, lightly dancing and soaring.

Listening, listening, the music abruptly ceased, and you returned from the ethereal state, only to find that the small courtyard was surrounded by people. A troop bearing weapons, with torches in hand, were on the courtyard walls. Their appearance not only interrupted your rest but also put the household in a restless state.

"Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji!" A voice heavily laden with alcohol reached your ears, "Tonight, you are mine. No one can stop me, or I’ll kill anyone who dares!"

You turned your head to see a man in fine clothing leading a unit marching into the courtyard.

"Young Master, this is trespassing!" said a middle-aged scholar, standing in front of the finely dressed man with several servants, "If the governor knows about this, you will surely be punished!"

"I don’t care about that! I want Zhao Ji. Tonight, she will be my woman!"
