Chapter 198

"Why are you reeking of alcohol again?"

The banquet ended, and Zhang Jie returned to his room to rest. Pan Jinlian, who came to serve him by bathing and changing his clothes,

wrinkled her delicate nose slightly and complained in a soft voice as she smelled the thick scent of alcohol on him, which was strong enough to make someone stumble.

"Haha."

Zhang Jie, cooperating with Pan Jinlian as she changed his clothes, said nonchalantly:

"The brothers were just too enthusiastic, and I couldn't dampen their spirits."

Strengthening bonds at the wine table is truly a must-do in this era where entertainment is scarce,

and even he, who does not love drinking, cannot avoid the custom.

All the underlings were drinking from large bowls and eating meat in large mouthfuls;

if he, the leader, didn't touch a drop of alcohol, it would be far too unsociable.

"Even so, Young Master, you must take care of your health.

Even a body made of iron couldn't withstand such abuse!"

Pan Jinlian's words inevitably carried a hint of worry.

Zhang Jie used to never touch alcohol, and now that he is like this, she fears his body won't be able to handle it.

"Jinlian, don't you know how my body is?"

A mysterious smile appeared on Zhang Jie's face as he said this with deep meaning.

As an old married couple, how could Pan Jinlian not understand Zhang Jie's meaning?

She immediately and coquettishly tapped Zhang Jie's solid chest, which was rich with muscular aesthetic.

"Jinlian, the night is already deep; let us rest."

Zhang Jie leaned into Pan Jinlian's ear and whispered.

"Mm."

Feeling the hot breath Zhang Jie exhaled and the masculinity he radiated,

Pan Jinlian's pretty face was covered in a blush, and even her small, delicate earlobes were occupied by it.

She felt as if she were about to suffocate and could no longer speak, only able to let out an imperceptible "mm."

"Jinlian, you are too cute." Zhang Jie laughed in spite of himself.

Clearly, they were already an old married couple who had experienced this who knows how many times,

yet Pan Jinlian was shy every time like a young girl who had never experienced the affairs of men and women.

But it was precisely this that made him unable to stop.

He scooped Pan Jinlian up by the waist and walked with long strides toward the bed.

The bed, crafted from high-quality yellow rosewood, seemed to have been visited by a monster at this moment.

"Young Master, have I come at a bad time?"

Yan Poxi arrived at just the right moment.

"You have come at exactly the right time!"

During this time at Zhu Family Manor, he had endured very painfully, and tonight he must reflect on it properly.

Tonight would likely be a sleepless night.

"Pah!"

"These few shameless women!"

Hu Sanniang, who was standing guard in the courtyard, had her cheeks flushed with red.

Although she was still a maiden, she was not entirely ignorant of the affairs between men and women.

Especially since her mother had specifically given her several secret books on boudoir matters when she came to Liang Shan.

After she knew what was recorded and drawn in those secret boudoir books, she was simply so ashamed and angry she wanted to die.

"It's fine, it is said that it won't take more than the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn before it ends."

Hu Sanniang, listening to the seductive sounds, comforted herself and cheered herself on.

But these sounds rang out for half the night, from the initial reserve,

to the high pitch in the middle, to the utter weakness afterward.

"Is, is this Zhang Zhaizhu this strong?"

Hu Sanniang simply found it hard to believe that there was still such a powerful person in the world.

"Little spicy chicken!"

After instructing several maidservants, whose pretty faces were also flushed red, to clean up the battlefield,

Zhang Jie, who had also cleaned himself up, entered the Shared Space with familiar ease.

"Yo! Everyone is here."

As soon as he entered the Shared Space, he discovered that Zhuan Yi Tian Zhang Jie, Tian Long Zhang Jie, and Pirate Zhang Jie were all there.

"Shui Hu, why did you come so late tonight?

If you had come any later, we might have already left."

Tian Long Zhang Jie rolled his dead-fish eyes and glanced at Shui Hu Zhang Jie.

"Hehe!"

"You should all know the reason why I came late."

Shui Hu Zhang Jie winked at the other Zhang Jies.

"Ugh! You guy who indulges in nightly revelry!"

The look in Pirate Zhang Jie's eyes as he looked at Shui Hu Zhang Jie was full of contempt.

Everyone is Zhang Jie; how could he not know what Shui Hu Zhang Jie was delayed by?

"I have no choice either! You all know,

although I definitely won't die in the short term, others don't know that.

For the development and survival of our Liang Shan cause,

Chen Wenyun and the others have been hinting openly and secretly for me to hurry up and have a child.

And there is also the old steward; he has been urging me to have a child to continue the incense of the old Zhang family."

Shui Hu Zhang Jie spread his hands and said helplessly.

He could ignore other people's words, but the old steward was an elder who watched him grow up,

treating him like a son; he could not ignore the old steward's urging.

"That is indeed true."

Zhuan Yi Tian Zhang Jie nodded in agreement.

As he also began to vie for the world, Yang Xiao,

Wang Baobao, and the others have always wanted Zhang Jie to hurry up and have a child.

He also expressed understanding of this:

Vying for the world is truly a dangerous game; let alone soldiers and generals,

even the boss could die directly because of some matters, ending the enterprise halfway.

Only by having a child and an heir can this force not fall apart following the boss's death.

Not to mention vying for the world, even guarding the world is the same:

Without an heir, or if the heir is too young, a force will also collapse.

Being bullied by the orphan and widow of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin,

the Later Zhou Shizong Chai Rong, who had the world taken away, was just such a typical unlucky guy.

And at the same time, the people entrusted to this force also have to face a major reshuffle.

Although he possesses peerless divine arts, Yang Xiao and the others still suggested he have a child early to put the hearts of his subordinates at ease.

I don't know what Wang Baobao is thinking, but he has actually been pushing his sister Zhao Min to him.

However, looking at Zhang Sanfeng, who was over a hundred years old and still ruddy and full of life,

Yang Xiao and the others all knew he could live for at least another ninety years,

so they weren't too anxious, just suggesting it; whether to adopt it or not depends on himself.

"Speaking of which, Shui Hu, you have been tilling for so long, why is there no harvest?"

Tian Long Zhang Jie touched his chin and looked at Shui Hu Zhang Jie with some confusion.

Shui Hu Zhang Jie himself didn't care, but from his subordinates down to the old steward and Pan Jinlian herself,

they all urgently hoped Zhang Jie would have a child, so he didn't take any protective measures.

But since coming from the Shared Space, his weak body has improved,

and it has been more than a year since he took Pan Jinlian into his room,

yet there is still no movement in her belly; this is very strange.

However, this doesn't seem to be without benefits; at least Shui Hu Zhang Jie doesn't need to use Blue Smurfs every time...
