I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse
Chapter 1020: Great Satisfaction

Chapter 1020: Chapter 1020: Great Satisfaction

At last, the horse had stopped, and Zi Yi, amidst her daze, lifted her head to find that they were already on the outskirts in the wilderness.

Behind them was the lush farmland, and in front was the flat hill slope, and further up were the verdant woods.

"Husband."

Zi Yi nestled her frail body into your embrace, while you gently lifted her chin with your hand and deeply kissed her thin, soft lips that carried a trace of coolness.

Zi Yi was intoxicated.

You were also intoxicated.

The two of you embraced each other, lost in each other, allowing the other to explore their bodies, their sleeves rubbing against each other...

After a moment of intimacy, you, holding Zi Yi, softly said, "It seems our identities have already been discovered."

"Yes, after all, this is the Order Barrier, and the actions of the husband now have completely disrupted the order, the Order Power seems ready to confront you." Her words were light, soft, and quickly gave you some pointers. "Husband has always been one to break the rules, just like dealing with the rules and rigid teachers in school, only a fearless troublemaker can do it. Once the troublemaker ’stabs’ to a certain extent, neither the rules nor the teachers can manage anymore."

Hearing this, you couldn’t help but shudder, then you pulled Zi Yi closer and fiercely kissed her!

At this time, Minzhou City was already a place of alarm, where every bush and tree looked like an enemy. Ordinary people locked themselves in their homes, daring not to venture onto the streets recklessly; while some families that had ties with the Lin Family were in a state of panic, deeply fearing your involvement.

However, clearly, you didn’t have the leisure for that. You returned to your mansion and asked Zi Yi to comfort Cui’er.

Then you entered the study, began drafting a memorial to report the Crown Prince’s rebellion to Li Shimin.

You had the memorial sent to the capital on a fast horse that covered eight hundred li, and then personally visited Pei Yuanfu.

Pei Yuanfu, who had been immersed in the bureaucratic arena for many years, had long anticipated your visit. As you arrived, the lower-class men led you to the study.

"General Luo, the subordinate has been waiting for a long time," Pei Yuanfu said with a smile as he saw you enter.

"I appreciate Lord Pei’s patience."

The two of you chit-chatted briefly, then you got straight to the point, "Lord Pei, I wonder what you think about the Lin Family’s collusion with foreign enemies?"

"This is a crime of extreme treachery!" Pei Yuanfu’s expression tightened, and he immediately said righteously, "The subordinate must also thank General Luo for eliminating this scourge for Minzhou’s people!"

You hadn’t expected Pei Yuanfu to be so cooperative, so much so that all the prepared reasons were unnecessary. You scratched your head and smiled, "Actually, I am not as noble as Lord Pei says, if we delve into details, there might even be elements of settling personal scores."

"No, no, General Luo is just eliminating harm for the people. Those Lin Family clan members are all arrogant and despotic, despising everyone. Not to mention Lin Qi, that playboy’s heinous acts—just that old brute Lin Ziyu is also no good. Humph, if it weren’t for his connections in the court, the subordinate would have long thrown him in prison."

Upon hearing this, you couldn’t help but feel a tinge of curiosity about Lin Ziyu’s connections, and you asked, "Oh? So, does that mean Lin Ziyu also has a backer within the court?"

You would never let any potential danger slip by unnoticed.

"Lin Ziyu’s brother-in-law happens to be the Crown Prince’s Master, and he does have some connections in the court. However, the crime he committed was treason, which really provoked the Emperor’s Inverse Scale. For such a crime, eradicating his Nine Clans wouldn’t be considered excessive, let alone just three clans," Pei Yuanfu said, sighing.

"Lord Pei, why do you sigh?"

"Alas, although Mr. Luo’s actions were satisfying to the populace, they inevitably leave room for the manipulations of villains."

"Where did that come from?" You felt as if you might have missed something, so you promptly pressed for details.

"Has Mr. Luo forgotten that the Lin Family and the Cui Family are related by marriage? The Cui Family is a major clan of this era. Even if Lin Ziyu’s rebellion leads to the extermination of his Nine Clans, the Cui Family would not be harmed. Mr. Luo, your blade may seem to have severed the relationship between the Lin and Cui families, but their ties are complex and intricate. The Cui Family, having thrived for hundreds of years, will definitely not take this lying down."

"Hmph, what of it? I fear neither heaven nor earth—a mere Cui Family means nothing to me." Hearing Pei Yuanfu’s words, you instead felt reassured. You were least afraid of direct confrontations; it was the scheming and machinations that truly worried you.

Thereafter, you and Pei Yuanfu exchanged further thoughts, reaching a consensus before happily parting ways.

As you left Pei Yuanfu’s mansion, you mounted your horse and headed toward Lin Mansion. The mansion was now devoid of the sounds of fierce combat or weapons clashing. Under the aggressive assault led by Shi Kai and Hei Chitang, the Lin Family was utterly defeated, with all Lin Family clan members detained by Shi Kai. Upon your arrival, Hei Chitang was ordering his soldiers to tally the people.

"Boss, all the defiant members have been eliminated, leaving only the weaklings. How shall we deal with them?" Hei Chitang, grinning, approached you. His blade hadn’t tasted fresh blood for quite some time until today’s battle, which was truly satisfying.

"Lock them all in the dungeon, and wait for His Majesty’s adjudication."

"Understood!" Hei Chitang suddenly looked around and whispered, "But Boss, wasn’t the rebellion fabricated by you? How then do we wait for a decree from His Majesty?"

"Do you think I would exterminate three of Lin Family’s clans without sufficient evidence?" you responded, glaring at Hei Chitang, who was clearly a warmonger.

"Oh." Hei Chitang blinked, his mouth covered in a bushy beard, and said with some reluctance, "These people were just too weak, cutting them down was like slicing through cabbage; it really wasn’t much fun."

"Get lost!" You kicked Hei Chitang aside, ignoring his resentful gaze, and waved Shi Kai over.

"Boss." Shi Kai was covered in blood, presenting a fearsome sight.

"Are you injured?" you asked, somewhat taken aback; given the ineptitude of the Lin Mansion’s forces, it was unexpected that they could have injured an elite like Shi Kai.

"It’s someone else’s blood. Boss, you wouldn’t believe it, this guy looks so harmless, but he’s truly the most bloodthirsty, killing people without even blinking—an eye, a cleave, intestines everywhere," Hei Chitang loved to talk about Shi Kai’s exploits in your presence.

You couldn’t help but smile wryly, then said earnestly to Shi Kai, "Shi Kai, this isn’t right. When killing, there’s no need to go overboard—simply stabbing the heart will do. Too much bloodshed isn’t good; otherwise, you’ll have a hard time finding a wife."

"Understood, from now on I’ll simply behead them."

You were speechless; alright, Shi Kai was no better than Hei Chitang, both were warmongers.
