The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 201 is putting pressure on you.

The mines in Northwest China are located in remote areas. Furthermore, due to an accident, they were shut down, and few people inquired about them.
Old Ge came here after leaving the village.

Wei's army was working feverishly.

Rong Di was filthy, but upon learning of his arrival, he immediately dropped what he was doing. Perhaps due to extreme thirst, he gulped down two large jugs of water in one go.

"How is the general?"

If he hadn't been assigned tasks, he would definitely have stayed by Wei Zhao's side to take care of him.

"everything is fine."

Old Ge: "How's the mining going?"

“Not enough manpower.”

Rong Di: "It has to be slower."

Over the years, most of the mines in Xishan have been mined out. Even so, Rong Di was still surprised when he came to take over.

This is truly boundless wealth and power.

As they dug, they even unearthed human bones. This shows that countless people have died in landslides over the years.

That's true, the mines all belonged to the imperial court, not to private individuals.

Each time mining was carried out, the emperor on the dragon throne would issue an order and send people to survey the terrain and provide corresponding guidance.

What do ordinary people know?
Rong Di spat out: "Those officials have quite the appetite."

Unauthorized mining is done secretly, so of course something bad will happen.

The county magistrate would present the mined ore to the prefect with both hands. The prefect would then give half of it to the magistrate and use the other half to bribe officials, hoping to get a promotion.

Rong Di: "If I had known the general was interested, I would have acted long ago. Would they even have had a chance?"

"The general previously kept me at the blacksmith shop to be in charge of weapon forging and transportation, which is not as good as keeping Chi Yu by his side to fight on the border."

"But this is not because I am not valued."

Rong Di: "I'm busy with all this now, so Chi Yu probably doesn't know that the general is still alive."

As he said this, he couldn't hide his smugness.

"All they know is how to transport coffins."

"It's pitiful. Back in Ze County, the general never mentioned seeing him at all."

"There's really no way to compare people."

In the past, Mr. Ge might have had to go along with it.

But now...

His gaze toward Rong Di was filled with pity.

"is it?"

The voice was icy cold, and it came from the distance to the right front.

The cave was dimly lit, and the man concealed his presence, so Rong Di did not notice his existence.

Chi Yu strode out from the shadows.

The first thing he did upon arriving in Ze County was to meet Wei Zhao.

After Wei Zhao escorted Yu Tingwan down the mountain to the clothing shop, he saw him.

Chi Yu didn't bother arguing with Rong Di, ignoring Rong Di's astonished expression, and asked in a businesslike manner, "How many people do you need?"

When he returned to the capital, he calmly and properly settled the Wei family army members who accompanied him.

The imperial court was interested in recruiting them, but the Wei family army was trained by the Wei family. In recent years, the court's military pay had been repeatedly reduced, and they had been deliberately making things difficult for the army. Wei Zhao had been subsidizing them privately all along.

The Wei family army is loyal only to the Wei family members.

Emperor Yingqian only knew that Wei Zhao was dead and that the Wei family had no more heirs. The Wei family army had disbanded, and he, as the deputy general, had become a figurehead.

Chi Yu: "I'll call over just how many brothers I have."

"Try to dig it out within two months if possible, and three months is the latest deadline."

Rong Di: ? ? ?
"How did you come?"

Old Ge: "You asked the wrong question."

He said irritably, "You should ask him if he was involved in the general faking his death!"

Ever since he learned that Wei Zhao was still alive and that he had injured himself, Old Ge felt something was wrong.

Regarding the coffin, how did Wei Zhao manage to leave the border unnoticed after fainting?
If no one helps, who would believe it?

Moreover, this person must be capable to ensure that there is no trace of trouble and that everyone is fooled without any mishap.

Rong Di: ? ? ?
what?
His eyes widened suddenly.

"you!"

Seeing the knife at his waist, Chi Yu admitted, "I did it."

"I prepared the coffin, and I also prepared the replacement body for burial."

Rong Di cursed, "Are you sick in the head?!"

"Why would you do that?"

Faced with Rong Di's questioning, Chi Yu did not think he was wrong.

The Chi family was a prominent family, and he could have stayed in the capital and obtained an official position by relying on his ancestors' influence.

However, he was obsessed with martial arts since childhood, and was defeated by Wei Zhao, so he followed him.

After the death of the Duke of Shun, he accompanied Wei Zhao on expeditions, returning to the capital and going on expeditions again, repeatedly.

Everything had clearly gotten better.

The Shunguo Duke's Mansion reached its peak.

Chi Yu also watched as Wei Zhao's tense heart finally relaxed and he could catch his breath.

Can……

Ever since the general secretly returned to the capital, for some reason, he has become unusually depressed and listless upon returning to the border. He has become more and more taciturn each day.

Until the eve of going to the battlefield.

Wei Zhao came to his side.

"When you first wanted to join the Wei family army, your parents disagreed. They were afraid that swords and spears would strike without mercy, and that something bad might happen to you."

Wei Zhao's eyes were empty, and his voice was unusually ethereal.

"It's true that military generals are fearless in the face of death, but they are still mortals. You've risked your life alongside me all these years; it's truly been difficult for you."

"Since you have elders at home who care about you, you should get married, settle down, and start a family after you return to Beijing."

He was completely confused when he heard it.

After repelling the enemy on the battlefield, he witnessed Wei Zhao raise the Cloud-Piercing Spear towards the capital.

He wasn't far from Wei Zhao, and he could have easily stopped him, but instead he provided cover.

"The general does not wish to live."

"He always has his reasons for everything he does!"

Chi Yu: "Am I wrong to follow the general's lead?"

As for Fu Meng carrying people away, Chi Yu still believes it was Wei Zhao's order.

The general must not have wanted to be buried there.

Then he must provide cover!
Rong Di was ready to take action.

Can……

Rong Di: "You're right."

If it were him, he would have done the same.

Don't question the general; whatever he does is right.

Rong Di: "But why didn't you tell me?"

It made him cry his heart out! He spent his days in tears.

Chi Yu frowned and said coldly, "It's true that I care about the General, but why should I care about you?"

Rong Di: ...

"Also...also."

He brought this humiliation upon himself.

He and Chi Yu didn't get along well.

Old Ge was truly impressed.

I thought the two of them would fight.

Rong Di's reaction was unexpected.

The general's right-hand men are not very bright.

Ze County.

Yu Tingwan reluctantly entered the house.

Wei Zhao sat half-upright, the blanket slipping down his body. He didn't glance at Yu Tingwan, but casually fed Qingya rice.

But his thin lips moved slightly.

"All night?"

"Did it make you so happy?"

Wei Zhao said quietly, "You haven't even tried it, how do you know?"

Yu Tingwan: ...

She knew that Wei Zhao's pride was getting the better of him, and that he would hold a grudge.

She approached: "It's my fault."

That makes Wei Zhao sound too powerful.

"I put pressure on you."

Yu Tingwan: "But I'm doing this for your own good."

Wei Zhao raised an eyebrow and finally looked up at her. "Look at what kind of nonsense this girl can spout."

Yu Tingwan sat down beside her: "It's one thing if we can't do it, but we can't let others look down on us."

Wei Zhao:......

He gave a slight twitch of his lips.

Yu Tingwan was afraid he would get cold, so she bent down to tuck the blankets around him. Her hand was covered with warmth, and her fingertips were gently kneaded by him.

It's a perfectly normal action.

But he moved closer, almost nose to nose.

Their breaths mingled, tender and silent.

Wei Zhao had calluses on his hands from practicing martial arts. When their skin touched and they rubbed together slightly, a strange electric current ran through him, accompanied by a tingling sensation.

Yu Tingwan's eyes twitched.

In hindsight, she realized that what she had told Liu Yan seemed to be... wrong.

Wei Zhao's voice was right next to her ear, as if he were speaking close to her ear.

“My hands can do a lot of things that you can’t do yourself.”

"I didn't do it simply because I was afraid of scaring you, and also afraid that I wouldn't be able to resist."

Wei Zhao smiled: "Want to know what it is?"
