I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1978 - 1980: Husband, Please Wait a Moment

Ren Hongchang nodded solemnly; she didn’t dare to seek Zhao Yu’s advice this time because your expression and the intense killing intent in your eyes were telling Ren Hongchang that you were very angry, and the consequences were dire!

"Back to the mansion!" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Upon returning to the mansion, you sat grandly in the main seat; there were no outsiders in the hall, only your family members. As for the three children, the maid had taken them away, as the adult world is still too distant for children.

"Alright, now who can tell me what is the deal with that Yuan Yin? How did he become the Prime Minister? And why didn’t I see Zhang Shao and Wang Lang today? This isn’t like them at all. Normally, Zhang Shao would tell me all about the trivial matters that occurred during my absence."

Both Zhang Shao and Wang Lang are vital for you and Xuzhou. You appointed Zhang Shao as Prime Minister partly because of his reputation and prestige in the scholarly circle, but mainly because of his outstanding ability.

Zhao Yu sighed and said, "Mr. Zhang and Wang Lang have already been imprisoned."

Your eyes widened, ready to get angry, when Ren Hongchang hurriedly spoke up. She didn’t want to see your terrifying expression again: "Mr. Zhang and Lord Wang were framed by Yuan Yin and were thrown into prison three days ago. The young Emperor has decided to execute them the day after tomorrow."

"The young Emperor?" You were stunned for a moment and then exaggeratedly pointed in the direction of the so-called Imperial Palace, saying, "Don’t tell me the young Emperor you’re referring to is that shit-eating maggot Liu Bian!"

No one in the hall dared to respond to you.

"I bought a watch for the New Year!" you cursed directly, "You guys are incredible, truly incredible! You let a useless person throw my Prime Minister and Imperial Censor into jail and plan to execute them the day after tomorrow!"

"Tiger Boy!" You then shouted, and the sound wave was so powerful that it made everyone’s scalp tingle.

"What are your orders, my lord!" Tiger Boy strode in.

"Follow me to the Heavenly Prison."

"As you command!"

"Husband, please wait!" Huang Yueying, who had been silent, suddenly spoke to stop you.

You turned to look at Huang Yueying; among your many women, Huang Yueying is like a female adviser, and for the whole of Xuzhou, she is a chief engineer. Even among the heroes of the Three Kingdoms, Huang Yueying’s intelligence is second to none.

"What is it?"

"I know you have a plan in mind, but I can’t understand it, or rather, I’m confused by you. Today, I have this opportunity to ask you for an explanation." Huang Yueying looked at you directly. At this moment, she was the only one among the women who dared to meet your gaze.

"Speak!"

"Do you want to be a capable minister in a peaceful era or a hero in a troubled time?"

Upon hearing this, you couldn’t help but smile faintly and immediately asked, "Is there a difference?"

"Ever since I met you, I’ve always believed you’re a hero devoted to the Great Han, intending to restore the foundations of the Great Han; so when you pushed Liu Bian into the spotlight, I didn’t oppose it."

You raised your hand, smiling, and said, "A hero whatnot, that’s not me. If anyone, Cao Cao, that old guy, would be one, but I’m not."

Upon hearing this, Huang Yueying asked again, "If that’s the case, why did you bring Liu Bian to the forefront? Don’t you know that by doing so, you’re sowing the seeds of disaster?"

You fell silent immediately; the seeds of disaster Huang Yueying mentioned had been planted when you disappeared, and now they are starting to sprout.

"Cao Cao holds the Emperor to command the vassals; he has accomplished this well. But you, after supporting Liu Bian, what exactly has Liu Bian done for you? And what have you done with Liu Bian?"

"This..."

In fact, as a leader, you yourself don’t know why you’re doing this. Supporting Liu Bian might seem beneficial to many, but for you personally, Liu Bian only brings endless trouble.

"Now Liu Bian is the Emperor, and you are his vassal. The relationship between ruler and minister needs no further explanation. Frankly, this is the stupidest thing you’ve ever done." In front of everyone, Huang Yueying criticized you. Her words caused the faces of Zhao Yu and the other women to change, even Cai Xiao, who typically remained indifferent, looked surprised.

After all, in this male-dominated world, a husband is everything to a woman, and no woman has ever dared to criticize her husband in front of subordinates.

At this moment, you suddenly burst into laughter, quickly stepped forward, and embraced Huang Yueying tightly, kissing her pretty and outstanding face several times before gesturing to Tiger Boy and saying, "Let’s go! To the Heavenly Prison!"

As you left, Huang Yueying’s face displayed a beautiful, flower-like smile.

Zhao Yu walked to Huang Yueying’s side, bowed slightly, and said, "Sister, thank you for this time."

"Elder sister, sometimes you’re too traditional. I’ve said before that our husband is extraordinary. When encountering Fengyun, he can transform into a dragon! And we are his Fengyun; one day, we will soar to the pinnacle of the Nine Heavens with our husband!"

"I like hearing that. Although I may not become the Empress, at least I’ll be an Imperial Concubine." Cai Xiao squinted her eyes and smiled; that smile was full of allure and charm.

All along, Zheng Zhi was like a shadow, rarely speaking unless you were alone. But at this moment, Zheng Zhi suddenly spoke, "The Eastern Capital City is already sealed off; we can start the action."

The Eastern Capital is built to accommodate a population of one million. It occupies a vast area, and since it was established on the original foundation of Xuzhou City, it is divided into a new city and an old city. The old city only occupies a quarter of the new city and can accommodate about two hundred thousand people.

For the major cities of the Nine Provinces today, the Eastern Capital is undoubtedly a massive fortified land. Just the fact that it has a population of one million with a permanent force of two hundred thousand is enough to make many forces sigh in admiration.

Of course, this is just the perspective of ordinary people. For Liu Bei now, it is a highly desirable treasure.

Yi State, Chengdu, Liu Bei’s Mansion.

Liu Bei was leisurely sitting in a Taishi Chair; as a transmigrator, Liu Bei shares a very notable commonality with you, that is, a love of comfort. For someone used to having a chair to sit on, a bed to lie on, and a car to travel in, kneeling on the ground all day is undoubtedly a torture. Therefore, after taking Yi State, Liu Bei, like you, summoned a large number of carpenters and began making some modern furniture, among which the Taishi Chair that Liu Bei is currently reclining in is the most classic.
