强制欢宠：我的温柔暴君

88

The two were so sweet and happy that it made the people around highly envious. They suddenly felt it was really great to have a wife who could fight side by side. No matter where they went, there was no need to separate.

The following event, thanks to Lin Zhizhao's "betrayal", Mo Linyuan easily knew that this time, Zhao Country had dispatched no less than five thousand people.

Besides the people who conspired against him two days ago, and also the earlier two groups that were eliminated, there should be three thousand people left.

Their ranks were only five hundred, so eliminating them in a short time would be quite difficult.

Ye Mu said, "I think it's better to act quickly. How about this, we find a squadron to disguise as us two and lead Zhao Country's people away, and the rest will quickly find the treasure, lest a long night fright with dreams*. How about it?"

*a long night fright with dreams – trouble comes after a delay

This indeed was the fastest and the simplest way, so after everyone discussed for a while, they decided as such!

Their troops divided into three roads: one to find the people of Zhao Country, and then lure them to a fixed location; another was in charge of fleeing and leading those people away; and the rest naturally followed Ye Mu to find the City Boundary Map.

Seeing them still discussing, Lin Zhizhao stood up. Facing everyone, he said, "I'll find a place to bury my mother."

Mo Linyuan and the others frowned. After all, Lin Zhizhao's status among them was very awkward, so it was Ye Mu who stood and said, "I'll go with him, all of you continue discussing."

Seeing Ye Mu stood up, everyone became at ease. After all, Ye Mu was His Majesty's quasi-empress. With her around, Lin Zhizhao wouldn't play some wicked trick.

Then, Ye Mu followed Lin Zhizhao out.

"Why bury your mother here? It won't be convenient for you to see her in the future!" Ye Mu said, feeling odd.

Lin Zhizhao smiled. Although he just ate an antidote, his face was still pale, though his vigor was a little better. He said, "No need, I plan to wander around the world in the future, I don't know when I'll be back. The scenery here is enchanting*, it's suitable for my mother to sleep eternally in and be secluded from the rest of the world."

*lit. tl of raw is "this place has green hills and clean waters (idiom))

Ye Mu looked around. It was all primeval forest here with no human trace. It was indeed a good place for a peaceful sleep.

"You plan to leave?" Ye Mu only got along with him for a few days, yet she genuinely was reluctant to part with this friend, just like with Zhao Mingyu. "Why do you want to leave? It's exhausting to wander everywhere. Is it not good to stay in Mo Country?"

Lin Zhizhao then suddenly smiled, revealing his two dimples. He looked at her with sparkling eyes. "You must not be hating to lose me right now, right? Mo Linyuan must not hear these words, or else I won't leave alive."

Seeing him still cheeky at this time, Ye Mu gave a smile, diminishing her sad thoughts. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Look at you, you're already twenty-something and look like someone who can't truss a chicken*. You didn't study feng shui until quintessence, and the only eyes of heaven disappeared, too. You didn't succeed in anything. You won't die from hunger out there, will you?"
