As an official, what's wrong with raising a few monsters?

Chapter 123 Kiss

There are also blood-stained rebels coming from the south with great force!

After resolving the war with Bei Lie, it was natural to return and deal with these rebels. As for who would lead the army, it naturally had to be Ling Yu, the popular general.

Ling Yu also knew that Mingchen would also go south with the army.

After hearing this, Mingchen glanced at the bird playing with the cat in the yard and nodded: "Maybe."

The old emperor had done a great job in finding the rare fire for him, so naturally he had to go south to take a look. If the stupid bird succeeded, it would also put his worries to rest.

Ling Yu smiled and nodded. Traveling with Mingchen made her happy.

Mingchen seemed to recall something and said to Lingyu as if reminding her, "But sister, the Blood Robe Rebels were originally from Qianyuan. Could you have the heart to do that to them?"

The two investment targets are about to fight.

With Sister Shaxing's strength, even the elite soldiers and generals of Beilie can withstand her. I'm afraid these refugee rebels in the south won't be able to hold out for long in front of her. This bunch of rabble will be easily broken like paper.

Mingchen didn't actually want to see this scene; he had other ideas. The world was in chaos, but there was order within the chaos. He held so many cards, and there was actually a lot of room for maneuver.

"Ok?"

Ling Yu raised an eyebrow.

There were good and bad people in Qianyuan, so how could she not bring herself to kill them? She had shown no mercy when she killed the bandits she encountered on the way to Beijing.

Mingchen smiled and said, "The rebels won't necessarily be the bandits we encountered earlier who called themselves the Blood-Cloaked Army, nor will they be assassins who broke into the capital. Most of them...are actually the civilians we met when we returned from the northern border that day."

Mingchen drank the entire glass of wine, the sweet and sour taste of the plum wine spreading across his tongue. Mingchen looked at the person before him and asked, "Sister, what should I do?"

Ling Yu paused when he heard this: "This..."

She was a little dazed, as if she had never thought about this question.

"Sister, the monarch and the people don't necessarily stand on the same side. When loyalty to the monarch and protecting the people conflict, what should you do?"

"Sister, are you more loyal to the emperor? Or are you more protective of the people?"

Mingchen is a devil who can deceive people. He seems to be able to speak out the truth.

Facing Mingchen's bright eyes, Ling Yu stood there in a daze, seeming to be silent.

Mingchen in front of him seemed to have changed his appearance, becoming like the simple faces of the people who lined the streets to greet him with food and drink when he returned from the northern border.

"People who are oppressed by harsh policies feel suffocated and unable to survive. Why not rise up in resistance and fight for a chance to survive? Is that wrong, sister?"

Mingchen is now speaking for the rebellious Blood-Clothed Army. If word gets out, not to mention his current official position, even if he is the crown prince, he will definitely not be able to escape the Heavenly Prison.

However, there is no one else here except Sister Dai.

Upon hearing this, Ling Yu stood there in a daze, lowering his brows and looking at the rippling water in the wine, silent.

"Brother Chen...what do you think I should do?"

After a long time, Ling Yu raised his head and asked the person in front of him.

Mingchen shrugged and said casually, "I already gave you the answer."

Ling Yu: ...

She naturally knew what Mingchen was talking about.

She shook her head and said to Mingchen, "Brother Chen, I have no intention of overstepping my bounds. I prefer my current life. I only know how to fight, and I can't shoulder such heavy responsibilities."

On the day she and Mingchen were promoted together, she was unable to see the open and covert struggles between Mingchen and Dong Zhenghong.

If someone like her were to sit in a high position, it would only make the world worse.

If the world were peaceful, she could sit and drink with Mingchen like this every day, which would be the best wish for her.

She knew exactly what she wanted.

The atmosphere seemed a little quiet.

Mingchen smiled and raised his glass: "Sister, cheers!"

It's such a nice occasion and great wine, saying these things really spoils the fun.

If Ling Yu didn't want to, he wouldn't force her. At most, he would just tell her about the things she couldn't see, like he was doing now.

"Okay, do it!"

Ling Yu suppressed his worries and raised his glass, saying with a smile, "Cheers!"

As time goes by, most questions remain unanswered.

Ling Yu is ready to hand it over to his future self who will see the truth with his own eyes.

Mingchen sipped his wine with a click of his tongue, then turned to Lingyu and said, as if to change the subject: "Tsk tsk~ Sister, this green plum wine is a bit light. How come you're drinking something light now?"

"Humph!"

Ling Yu rolled her eyes at him: "Do you think good wine is so easy to find?"

"I went to great lengths to get this green plum wine. It's got a really strong aftertaste!"

"Just drink it, why are you so picky~"

As their relationship became closer, their conversation naturally became more casual.

"Oh? Sister also knows about this?"

Ling Yu didn't know what was going on. He said "ask someone for help" as if to prove that he had integrated into the officialdom. He felt like a primary school student looking up and asking for praise from his parents.

In fact, he just asked Feng Xiaozhong for help.

Hearing Mingchen's question, he seemed a little worried that the other party might misunderstand him, so he just lowered his eyes and whispered, "Thank you, Lord Feng..."

Mingchen laughed and said, "Hahaha~Is that so~"

Ling Yu felt that the bad guy's smile was a little mischievous.

She glared at him and imitated his sarcasm: "I'm a third-rank official, but I never take care of things. Lord Feng is extremely busy, but he has complained to me several times~"

Mingchen's smile froze.

Oh no, has Sister Dai learned bad things?

In the cheerful atmosphere of the New Year, amidst the clinking of glasses and laughter, time passes slowly.

Before I knew it, I had eaten most of the meat dishes around the hot pot.

Empty wine jars were neatly placed one by one on one side of the room.

After finishing the wine that Ling Yu brought, he drank Ming Chen's own wine.

It seemed to have really fulfilled Ling Yu's wish of getting drunk.

"Brother Chen, hahahaha... As expected, you're still the one who drinks more freely~"

The beauty's pretty face was flushed, and her eyes were a little watery, reflecting the face of the person in front of her.

She supported her head with one hand, held up the wine glass with the other, and smiled at Mingchen with curved eyebrows.

This is what drinking is like. The feeling of being drunk between being asleep and awake is the most intoxicating.

I don't know if it's because I was a little drunk,

Originally a resolute and strong person, she now exudes a bit of lazy charm. If she were to change into a gorgeous dress that half-revealed her clothes, coupled with her bewitching eyes, she would probably captivate everyone.

"Sister still drank too much."

Ling Yu has a subtle dullness, she never knows how cute she is.

Mingchen is not a heavy drinker and he will not let himself get drunk. Although he seems to have drunk so much, he has actually been drinking like a fish, and 80% of it has gone into the stomach of the sister in front of him.

He looked at the beautiful, slightly tipsy look of the person in front of him. The strong contrast shocked his mind and he couldn't help but feel moved.

I have to remind you next time: if you are out, don’t drink so much.

Ling Yu tilted his head when he heard this and looked at Ming Chen with a hazy look in his eyes: "Brother Chen, you..."

She seemed to be a little drunk. She spoke to Mingchen but only opened her mouth. The rest of the words were unclear.

Mingchen didn't know what she wanted to say.

Ling Yu was breathing in the alcohol, her pretty face flushed, and she waved towards Ming Chen: "Brother Chen, come here~ I have something to tell you..."

Mingchen was stunned. When he came to his senses, the pretty face opposite him was already right in front of him. He could even smell the alcohol on the other person's breath.

The atmosphere is a little charming.

But this time, Ling Yu did not run away.

Looking at the person so close to her, she unconsciously stretched out her hand and gently copied the face of the person in front of her.

Maybe it was the effect of the alcohol, but her heart was beating violently and her behavior was out of control. She curled her lips slightly into a smile.

next moment,
The man's face enlarged in front of my eyes, and I saw my own reflection in those bright eyes.

Lips and teeth clashed.

kiss.

In an instant, strong emotions rushed through Ling Yu's heart, and his eyes suddenly widened.

His body shuddered and his eyes closed instantly.

She seemed drunk, lost consciousness, and was about to fall to the ground.

Fortunately, Mingchen quickly supported her.

Sister Dai was so drunk that she lost consciousness immediately, her eyes were closed, and she let out a series of faint gasps.

With the soft jade in his arms, Mingchen looked at the delicate face in front of him and shook his head helplessly.

Sister Dai is mature and gorgeous, but she is quite cute in some aspects.

Ling Yu closed her eyes and felt herself being picked up, shaken, and finally placed on the soft bed.

suddenly,
"Sister, you're not acting like you're drunk at all."

"I like you, but don't pretend next time."

"Don't drink so much outside."

A familiar whisper rang in my ears.

As the exhale drew closer, a similar feeling from not long ago came back to my lips.

Her eyes trembled, but she didn't open them after all.

"Squeak~"

The door closed.

In the darkness, bright eyes suddenly lit up.

Excitement, nervousness, shyness, excitement...all kinds of emotions are brewing.

Damn it, the plan was discovered.

Great, the plan was discovered.

He drank too much and was a little dazed. He just said, "I like you."

Is that right?

……

The cool breeze blew at night, and the lanterns hanging on the beams of the corridor swayed gently in the wind, and the yard was covered in silver.

The cool breeze dispelled some of the drunken confusion.

After closing the door, Mingchen touched his lips and smiled unconsciously.

There is nothing shameful about the man expressing his feelings first.

Although each other's feelings are very obvious, the process of testing and confirming little by little, and getting closer little by little, is also heart-warming.

The two lives combined make him about half a century old.

Now it feels like a young love.

In this world, it is quite rare and precious.

He doesn't like to get involved in alcohol.

If his sister had opened her eyes just now, he might not have left the house.

"Sir, what's wrong with you?"

The bird, which had been playing wildly all day, flew over and landed on Mingchen's shoulder.

The Bird and Mouse Special Forces have achieved a good record of 0 to 5 in the war against the Black Cat Devil. Come and join us!

Looking at the smile on Mingchen's face, Fuyao was a little curious.

Mingchen poked the bird's head and said, "Nothing serious! Little kid, don't try to know too much!"

"Humph!"

The bird snorted and pecked Mingchen's hand gently: "Master!! I'm not a child!!!"

She insisted on turning into a human and biting him to pieces!!!
The cool evening breeze seemed to take away some beautiful thoughts.

Mingchen looked up at the sky. There was no moon tonight, but only a few stars.

"Another year..."

After tonight, it will be a new year.

"New Year, New Atmosphere, Your Majesty... It's almost time for a new person."

Of all the tasks, the old emperor's was the most clear and achievable. Giving the old emperor a full New Year was the most worthy of our efforts.

Next...it's time to slay the dragon.

Ling Yu said that in half a month, the troops would be transferred south, and Mingchen would leave with them.

The prince...it's time to talk to him.
