Are you crazy? Trying to trick him into military service? He's the number one dragon on the fro

"If you don't believe me, I'll take out Sister Xianya's letter right now and let you take a look."

As they were speaking, Fan Changrui was about to get up, but Wang Qingqing grabbed her arm, her expression still showing reluctance.

"Even if you and Xianya both agree, what about Lord Lu..."

"I am but a common woman, and I still carry a strong feminine air about me. If I were to marry the Marquis, I would probably embarrass him."

"Has my sister forgotten my background?"

Hearing that this was her concern, Fan Changrui's smile became even brighter:

"Don't worry, sister. I'll talk to your husband. You just need to do as I say and make sure you're in love with him."

"Moreover, my husband has already said that the Lu family does not follow these rules. Apart from the nominal position of the principal wife, the other concubines are not distinguished by rank or status."

Fan Changrui didn't say anything, but she had indeed received a letter from Liu Xianya a couple of days ago, and Liu Xianya had indeed said that in the letter.

Moreover, she was well aware that a talented man like Lu Xiao would constantly attract women.

It is perfectly normal for a real man to have three wives and four concubines.

Rather than going head-to-head with the concubines Lu Xiao wants to take in the future, it's better to vet them for Lu Xiao in advance. That way, they can get along well, and Lu Xiao will be happier.

At this moment, seeing that Wang Qingqing had finally agreed, Fan Changrui smiled and leaned over to whisper a few words in her ear, causing the girl to blush, but she finally nodded solemnly.

……

The following evening.

When Lu Xiao returned from the White Wolf camp, he found the table full of food and wine, but Fan Changrui was nowhere to be seen, so he called out to her several times.

To his surprise, Fan Changrui did not appear; instead, Wang Qingqing, blushing, walked out from behind the screen.

Moreover, at this moment, he was completely unable to take his eyes off the other person.

In late August, the evenings at Bailang Mountain were already quite chilly.

Today, Wang Qingqing was wearing a light purple gauze dress, and under the light of the braziers in several corners of the main hall, the plump peony flowers on her chest could even be seen.

Her hazy figure was also just right, appearing and disappearing in a subtle way.

She walked to the table, poured Lu Xiao a glass of wine, and said softly:

"Sister Changrui just said that she needed to help her brother with something, but she was worried that the wine would get cold, so she asked me to warm it for her."

"Lord Lu, have a drink to warm yourself up first."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao nodded silently, took the wine glass from the other person's hand, and drank it all in one gulp.

When he saw Wang Qingqing, he knew what Fan Changrui was planning. However, making a decision on this matter directly would be too hasty. At least it should be discussed with both parties in advance.

Drinking was also a way to mask his rather nervous feelings.

Unexpectedly, after drinking a glass of wine, Lu Xiao felt as if his whole body was on fire, and his mouth became even drier.

What's worse, Wang Qingqing also seemed to be sick; after drinking a glass of wine, she leaned weakly against him.

goo-dong-

Lu Xiao couldn't help but swallow hard. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the other woman raise her glass again, looking at him with seductive eyes.

"Lord Lu, I am but a common woman, and I should not have harbored any other feelings for you. But if it weren't for your help, I would probably have been devoured by the Zhao family long ago, leaving not even bones behind!"

"Therefore, I offer myself today, hoping that Your Excellency will accept me as your bedmate."

Having said that, if Lu Xiao still didn't understand, he would truly be a fool.

After a moment's thought, he asked:

"You don't regret it?"

"No regrets!"

Wang Qingqing answered with exceptional firmness:

"The world is a difficult place, and people's hearts are treacherous. My lord and I are not related. It was already a blessing that you were able to lend a helping hand last time. How could I dare to ask you to lend a helping hand in every critical moment in the future?"

"Only when our hearts and souls are connected and our lives are intertwined can we be inseparable and walk hand in hand for a long time."

"Is the Marquis drunk?"

As she spoke, Lu Xiao felt a restless fire surging within him, so he shook his head vigorously, trying to drive it away.

At this moment, he saw Wang Qingqing reach for his shoulder. Seeing the determination in her eyes, he immediately got up, picked her up, and carried her straight to the inner room.

Dry wood ignites a raging fire!

……

One hour later.

Lu Xiao gently stroked the hair of the woman in his arms and said with a wry smile:

"Chang Rui's actions this time were truly inappropriate. Make her apologize to you in person tomorrow."

"That girl is something else. If she's not taught a lesson, who knows how many outrageous things she'll do in the future!"

He knew very well that Wang Qingqing agreed this time because the two sides had a prior relationship and the conditions were suitable, except that he could not find the most suitable candidate in a short period of time.

But if he happens to encounter a woman of high status and discerning taste, he'll be in trouble.

Wang Qingqing gently shook her head in his arms:

"My husband, there's no need for that."

"Although Chang Rui was partly responsible for tonight's events, it was mostly because I harbored ill intentions towards my husband."

"Moreover, I am leaving first thing tomorrow morning."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao was taken aback, and after regaining his senses, he looked at the other person in surprise:

"Weren't you planning to stay in a couple of days?"

"It's because of tonight..."

"no."

Wang Qingqing shook her head and offered an explanation.

She was now Lu Xiao's woman, and the White Wolf Camp needed supplies year-round. As a merchant in this business, she naturally had to hurry back to share her husband's burdens.

Moreover, she decided to expand her grain business in the future.

She had to personally oversee everything, so she was extremely busy.

After hearing this, Lu Xiao sighed and rubbed the other person's shoulder:

"Don't overwork yourself. Sometimes you should delegate authority when possible. Even if things don't work out, I will support you."

"My husband is absolutely right, but I would like to do more while I am still young..."

Over the next period of time, Lu Xiao talked with Wang Qingqing about some things and agreed that she would be in charge of the food supplies for the White Wolf Camp. As for the Fan family, they needed to focus on their business in Yuyang County, so they could spare some energy and manpower from the food supply.

The two sides complement and help each other, which is not bad.

As they were talking, Lu Xiao noticed that Wang Qingqing was no longer responding. He looked down and saw that she had fallen asleep, so he adjusted his position and fell asleep in her arms.

Before going to sleep, he immersed himself entirely in the exquisite pagoda and discovered that the fourth Bright Eye Lamp had been lit, and the reward for this time also surfaced—

Endless life.

When Lu Xiao first saw the reward, he was a little puzzled, but after he learned about it, he was overjoyed!

The so-called "continuous generation" is a method of sustaining war through war.

After all, human strength has its limits. He received the rewards of unparalleled power and fierce wind, which basically met the conditions for being invincible on the battlefield. However, after exhausting his strength, he could no longer exert these two abilities.

Now, with the blessing of continuous life, he can use the enemy's momentum to nourish his own strength and achieve the level of fighting a protracted war!
