I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1976 - 1978: Let’s Go Home

Although this has already touched upon politics, in that moment, you also understood one thing: Mi Xiang is your wife, no matter how grave her mistakes, she is still your wife. And the Mi Family Clan counts as your in-laws—no matter how ruthless you are to your enemies, you can’t be too cruel to your own kin.

For example, you are not a King of a Country, but just an ordinary person.

You have a family fortune and a few wives, and one day you suddenly disappear. Then one of your wife’s family members persuades her to undermine you, forcibly occupying your house or business.

Would you resort to murder?

Of course not!

Soon, Tiger Boy came running over, drenched in sweat, and saluted you, saying: "Lord!"

"Where are Wei Yan and Zhang Fei now?"

"Reporting to the Lord, General Wei is guarding Pei County, and General Zhang is now the Unrivaled City Commander. Unrivaled City is your painstaking effort. The Lady has always stationed heavy troops there; without her orders, General Zhang will not deploy troops."

As Tiger Boy was wondering why you would ask this, you told him, "Send word to Wei Yan and Zhang Fei that Yu Jin and Yue Jin fought to the death against the Cao Army and died on the battlefield. Now appoint Zhang Fei as the Commander of Kaiyang City and Wei Yan as the Commander of Pengcheng."

"Yes!" Tiger Boy couldn’t help but feel a deep respect for you. Although your towering image had long been imprinted in his mind, he never expected you would act this way. The biggest difference between soldiers and Civil Officials is that a soldier’s honor is above all, and dying on the battlefield is their ultimate destiny!

"Additionally, let it be known that I, Li Muyun, have returned and will go back to the Eastern Capital seven days later. You help me keep an eye on the Mi Family in Kaiyang City. If they have any nefarious intentions, eliminate them on the spot; if they flee from Kaiyang City, just let them go." This could be called your greatest show of mercy.

"Yes!"

After Tiger Boy left, you then held Li Ning, kissed his tender cheek, and said with a smile, "Let’s go, Dad will take you out for a stroll."

You did not go to see Mi Xiang. All that Mi Xiang did before made you feel somewhat uncomfortable, and besides, Mi Xiang is merely under house arrest now, with proper care for her basic needs. Naturally, you could not meet Mi Xiang at this time.

During the seven days, you stayed with Zhen Luo, and this was the first time Li Xin and Li Ning, the two brothers, gathered together. Perhaps because they shared the same human blood, the brothers got along very well. However, in those seven days, you did not glance at Mi Xiang, but Zhen Luo often went alone to see her, and according to the maids, the two women seemed to have reconciled.

The truth is, you did not know how to face Mi Xiang. Mi Xiang is your woman, you can’t bear to scold or hit her, let alone anything else.

This world was originally orchestrated by the Empress, and Mi Xiang and Zhen Luo are the same person; this you knew very clearly and could feel.

Furthermore, you increasingly realized that the Empress had a deep purpose in this, rather than just a simple one-on-one challenge as she claimed.

Zhen Luo, being a woman too, whispered into your ear night after night, and eventually, you pushed open the door to the room where Mi Xiang was under house arrest.

When you pushed the door open, you found Mi Xiang doing embroidery. Upon seeing you enter, Mi Xiang first stood up, then immediately panicked and kneeled.

Before Mi Xiang’s knees touched the ground, you already held her in your arms.

Ah, after all, she is your woman; you simply couldn’t harden your heart.

More than an hour later, you emerged from the room with Mi Xiang. In front of you, Mi Xiang and Zhen Luo exchanged forgiveness, and the weight in your heart finally eased.

Two days later, you set off towards the Eastern Capital, leading the Huben Knights along with your two wives and two sons.

After a seven-day long journey, you finally saw the tall, majestic walls of the Eastern Capital City before sunset.

At that moment, at the northern gate of the Eastern Capital City, Zhao Yu and other women were already outside the gate to welcome you. The instant they saw you appear, including Zhao Yu, all your women couldn’t hold back their excitement and tears cascaded down, with Ren Hongchang and Zheng Zhi making the most frantic moves. As soon as you appeared, they both darted toward you at their life’s fastest speed. You just saw two shadows flash before your eyes, and then the two soft fragrant bodies were in your arms.

In silence, a rare softness appeared on your face.

Zheng Zhi and Ren Hongchang clung to you front and rear, full of affection, ignoring the eyes of others, which left your steed in some difficulty. Though the individual weight of Zheng Zhi and Ren Hongchang wasn’t much, the combined weight of the three of you indeed challenged your horse.

Finally, arriving at the city gate, you brought down the two women, then Zhen Luo and Mi Xiang, hand in hand, alighted from the carriage. Zhen Luo and Mi Xiang both seemed reluctant to meet the eyes of Zhao Yu and the other women, keeping their heads lowered to avoid their gazes.

Zhao Yu, being the elder sister, first led the women to bow to you gracefully, then stepped forward to take the hands of Zhen Luo and Mi Xiang, laughing softly, "We are all sisters here. Let bygones be bygones. Now that our husband has returned safely, we should celebrate."

"Thank you, elder sister."

"Oh my, oh my, these are Little Ning and Little Xin, aren’t they? So cute! Come, let Aunt give you a kiss." At this point, Cai Xiao suddenly stepped forward quickly, her face blossomed like spring flowers, extremely beautiful.

Although Cai Xiao hadn’t yet become a mother as she had wished, she showered boundless love upon Li Hao, born to Zhen Jiang, and seeing the other two "sons" now brought her immense joy as well. Meanwhile, Cai Xiao cast a teasing glance towards you, whispering coquettishly in your ear, "I’ve been waiting for husband to return."

You grinned and quickly gave Cai Xiao a light smack on her rounded buttocks.

"Cough, cough." Zhao Yu cleared her throat, finally prompting Cai Xiao to restrain herself slightly.

"Let’s go home!"

You had immeasurable conversations with the women, so everyone followed you into the Eastern Capital.

Past the northern gate of the Eastern Capital City, you noticed crowds of onlookers lining the streets. Perhaps for the sake of your safety, the crowds were kept apart by fully armed soldiers. Seeing this, you said to Ren Hongchang beside you, "Have the soldiers return to their posts. If I have to worry about threats when returning to the city, I might as well go home and farm."

"But..." Ren Hongchang hesitated, for to her and the other women, they never wanted to see or hear any more negative news about you.

Ren Hongchang turned her gaze to Zhao Yu; she had gotten accustomed to consulting Zhao Yu for solutions whenever difficult problems arose in the past.

Seeing Zhao Yu frown slightly, she then nodded.
