Chapter 968: Women Who Love and Kill Each Other

Zhao Chen didn't know what kind of person the Snake Staff Elder was, but his judgment was almost exactly correct.

"Continue!" Chen Wuji raised his hand.

Zhao Chen nodded and continued: "Commander, as the saying goes, soldiers have no constant force, water has no constant shape. The situation in Nanyue Jun is now overly complex; as for how to fight the upcoming battle, I temporarily cannot give direct advice."

"In my humble opinion, Commander, you might wait a bit, wait for an opportunity."

Chen Wuji gestured with his eyes for Zhao Chen to sit, smiling at Xu Zengyi: "Sir, speaking of which, we've arrived at the same conclusion by different routes—have you figured out the result?"

"My lord, I and Zhao Zan indeed arrived at the same conclusion by different routes, but Jia Zan's view I truly didn't anticipate. I have no other opinions; their two views are as exquisite as the fish-scale blade in the Executioner's hand." Xu Zengyi said solemnly, suddenly feeling he was getting old.

"Excellent!" Chen Wuji praised, "Then let's proceed as originally planned; Sir, you'll continue to work hard, and don't bother me with non-urgent matters."

Next he will go meet Wang Yu according to the original plan; military affairs will surely leave him no spare time, so he can only again delegate full authority to Xu Zengyi, letting him match wits and courage with the Snake Staff Elder.

Xu Zengyi: ……

He did have some opinions, but after thinking, he let it go.

Some things he truly couldn't replace Chen Wuji in; it seemed he could only continue to suffer.

Chen Wuji ordered people to settle Jia Yujing and Zhao Chen, then hummed a little tune back to his own small courtyard, having taken in these two genuine talents; the next strategy now had a very detailed direction, making him in high spirits.

He didn't care about the court at all, but with tonight's Jia Yujing and Zhao Chen's wild brainstorming, his chances of victory in Nanyue Jun had steadily increased by twenty percent.

As long as no major changes occur afterward, this battle basically no longer needs to consume his energy on temple calculations; today's small courtyard's temporary temple calculation was already quite adequate.

The small courtyard finally quieted down; when Chen Wuji and Huo Sanniang walked to the door, they only faintly heard the clinking of wood being struck and a very low conversation.

Pushing the door open, Chen Wuji saw a scene that made his blood surge.

In the moonlit, clear small courtyard, under the grape arbor two oil lamps were lit; Yu Yan Chu and Qin Zan Hong were together, chiseling wood carvings with a clinking sound; both wore only a very thin ruqun, their graceful figures faintly visible, a slight movement making the great and small witches sway enchantingly.

Fortunately there were no tall trees around this courtyard; otherwise this alluring scene might have been spotted by the Personal Guard first, as those fellows love to hide in tall trees to occupy the view.

"You two, pay a bit more attention; there are dark guards all around." Huo Sanniang looked, anxious.

Qin Zan Hong laughed: "Sanniang, we already said hello; no one dares to stare."

"Just saying hello is enough?" Huo Sanniang said displeased.

"Almost; after all I'm also a Training Officer under my husband's command, I still have this ability. This weather is really too hot; the room is stuffy and I can't stay, so I can only cool off a bit in the courtyard." Qin Zan Hong said.

"If there weren't so many eyes and ears around, I would have just now planned with this lowly person to sleep in the courtyard tonight; spread the mat, it would surely be more comfortable than inside."

Yu Yan Chu pouted and let out a soft hum, silently cursing in her mouth, but this time she didn't start a quarrel with Qin Zan Hong.

Chen Wuji glanced at Qin Zan Hong and Yu Yan Chu, smiling: "Have you two finished your fight?"

These two are also talents.

Earlier they fought like fighting cocks, but in the blink of an eye they seemed to have become as close as sisters—truly incomprehensible.

"In front of the husband, we dare not act recklessly; we can only temporarily halt hostilities to comfort the troops, awaiting tomorrow to settle accounts!" Qin Zan Hong snorted, uttering a cliché tactical summary, and it was quite apt.

Chen Wuji couldn't help laughing: "Your words indeed sound like an officer. You two, you're about done; tidy up and rest early, what about the others?"

"Taking a bath, three women aren't shy at all, openly sharing the same pool, entwined like pepper, lotus arms……"

"Stop, stop!" Chen Wuji hurriedly interrupted Qin Zan Hong's improvised performance.

All sorts of nonsense came out.

Qin Zan Hong giggled: "Husband, I'm merely stating; they really are doing that."

Chen Wuji gave her a sideways glance: "Do people do this kind of thing rarely? What's there to be shocked about?"

More outrageous things have been done; this trivial matter amounts to nothing—Qin Zan Hong this stalwart woman is clearly doing it on purpose.

"Ah, wrong, where did three women come from?" Chen Wuji suddenly asked.

Who is this woman who appeared out of nowhere?

"Wanwan, Hongdou, and Hua Yin!" Yu Yan Chu said, "My lord husband, do you even forget how many women are in the mansion? Ah, this is probably the trouble of having three wives and four concubines."

Chen Wuji: ……

As a newcomer, Yu Yan Chu has truly been led astray by Qin Zan Hong.

She dares to yin-yang him so quickly.

"You also go take a bath!" Chen Wuji waved his hand.

Yu Yan Chu thrust out her proud chest: "Husband, please look, delicate and fair, fragrant and rich; I have already washed clean, just waiting to be served…… pah, not to be served…… to the bed."

"……"

Qin Zan Hong turned her head to glance at Yu Yan Chu's proud part, gave a slight grin and a soft click: "A little hillock, daring to puff chest and suck in belly to act proud!"

"You're not that big either; I can still hold you with one hand!" Yu Yan Chu instantly retorted.

"You say it's not big enough, but husband says big is enough."

"Mine, husband also didn't say it's not big."

"So-called big varies from person to person; small…… as long as you're not blind, you can see it. Sister, don't deceive yourself, you're after all a Princess; how can you conceal excess, point at a deer and call it a horse, point at white and call it black, recognize a turtle as a softshell, transfer stupidity, exchange sheep for ox!" Eh……

"……"

Yu Yan Chu was furious.

"Lowly person, you've read half a book in half your life; I'll make you use all of it!" She swore fiercely, violently picking up the chisel, eyes fierce.

Qin Zan Hong and Huo Sanniang instantly tensed.

"What are you doing? I advise you to be careful; this lady's fist you can't withstand!" Qin Zan Hong warned loudly.

Yu Yan Chu rolled her eyes: "Step aside, you're not supposed to be talking with husband; today this Princess spares you, another day we'll settle accounts."

Qin Zan Hong chuckled: "Almost forgot the main matter, won't quarrel with you."

After saying that, she swayed over with a tempting fragrance, pulling Chen Wuji into the study.

At the moment the room door closed, Qin Zan Hong's clothes had already slipped down.
