After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

Lan Shu ran over, panting, and the first thing she asked Yin Cheng was, "You weren't hit by their powder, were you?"

Yin Cheng said, "No."

Lan Shu breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Let's retreat first. These people aren't very skilled in martial arts, but their methods of using poison are unpredictable. We need to find a helper."

Yin Cheng exclaimed in surprise, "They're leaving already? We haven't even seen that so-called cult leader yet!"

Lan Shu dragged the person outside, almost gritting her teeth as she said, "I told you to find help first!"

"Okay, okay," Yin Cheng asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Lan Shu looked at his lord as if he were a fool. "Of course, we should find someone who also knows how to use poison. At least we should find a way to deal with these small fry who are spreading poison everywhere."

"That makes sense," Yin Cheng said sincerely. "Young Master Lan is indeed clever, resourceful, and courageous."

Although he felt it wouldn't matter if they attacked directly, since the strategist had said to retreat, then they should retreat.

Lan Shu was a little annoyed. "I'm just heartbroken, it's not like I've lost my arms or legs. You don't need to fawn over me like this."

Yin Cheng said, "This comes from the bottom of my heart."

Lan Shu felt both moved and speechless, truly wondering how this person had won so many battles.

At this moment, Lin Yuntang also led out the horses that the others had hidden earlier. "Let's go."

He wanted to talk to Lan Shu, but Lan Shu mounted his horse first, not giving him a chance to speak.

So the already taciturn fourth brother became even more silent. He mounted his horse without a word and caught up with Lan Shu.

Yin Cheng lagged behind because he found a wild citrus tree growing well when he passed by the mountain path. He picked a few of the best-looking citrus fruits to take back to Lin Nian and Zhenzhu.

When Lan Shu remained silent, Lin Yuntang was even more at a loss for words, and the atmosphere between the two became extremely awkward.

However, Yin Cheng, who caught up with him, didn't find the atmosphere strange. He asked, "After you marry Lao Si, have you considered coming back to work in the Northern Border?"

Now it was Lan Shu's turn to be confused. "Go to work? You mean I have to go back to the Northern Territory to continue being a strategist?"

"Um."

Lan Shu lowered her eyes. "I'll think about it some more."

"If all else fails, take the fourth brother with you to the Northern Border," Yin Cheng said. "Let him see your 108 lovers in the Northern Border, and make him feel a little threatened."

Lin Yuntang: "...I can hear you."

The three rode side by side on horseback, and being martial artists themselves, they naturally had sharp ears and eyes.

Besides... Yin Cheng never intended to avoid him!

"Perfect timing. Fourth Brother is number 109 in line. Once the previous 108 are overtaken, it'll be your turn to take the top spot," Yin Cheng said. "No rush, it'll be quick."

Lin Yuntang: "..."

Lan Shu knew, of course, that his lord was helping him vent his anger. He smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll reluctantly go back and continue to be the strategist for the Northern Army."

After he finished speaking, he lashed the horse's rump with a whip, and the horse instantly galloped several meters away, leaving the two people behind far behind once again.

Yin Cheng gloated, "Fourth Brother, tsk tsk tsk."

Lin Yuntang wasn't annoyed by the teasing, but his expression was rather downcast. "You're so free?"

"It's alright." Yin Cheng took a tangerine from the cloth bag hanging on his horse's back. "Want some?"

Lin Yuntang shook his head. "No need."

Yin Cheng peeled open the tangerine and took a bite. It was sweet and juicy, and his wife would definitely like it.

Lin Yuntang suddenly spoke up: "What can I do to get him to forgive me?"

Yin Cheng asked with a suspicious look, "You're asking me?"

Lin Yuntang nodded. "When Nian-ge'er is angry, how do you coax him?"

Yin Cheng thought in shock: It has to be Lan Shu, he's managed to get this honest man to understand.

He said, "I'm not bragging, but Niannian never gets angry with me."

Even if they're angry, a kiss or a hug will make them happy immediately; it's incredibly sweet.

Lin Yuntang: "When Nian-ge'er is unhappy, how do you usually comfort him?"

Yin Cheng said, "Take him out to play, eat and drink, and then use your lightness skill to fly him around." He paused, "But these are obviously not suitable for Lan Shu, he can fly by himself."

Lin Yuntang asked suspiciously, "You took Nian-ge'er to scale walls and rooftops?... He didn't cry?"

Yin Cheng was clearly puzzled. "Why is he crying?"

Lin Yuntang said, "When he was little, his older brother took him out to play for a while. When he came back, he started crying, saying that his older brother had scared him."

He recalled carefully, "I cried for most of the night until my voice was hoarse."

My wife has always been pampered since she was a child; no wonder she's as delicate as a small cake.

Yin Cheng was certain, "It must be because Big Brother's lightness skill is too poor." That's why Niannian felt insecure.

Lin Yuntang: "Gui Mountain is exceptionally steep, and it is difficult for ordinary people to climb to the top."

However, Lin Yunyuan had lived in Guishan since childhood. If he was not good at lightness skills, there were very few people in the world who were good at them.

Yin Cheng couldn't understand the implication. He said, "On the other hand, Lan Shu and Niannian are not the same type of boy. My experience is useless to you."

Lin Yuntang lowered his eyes and continued to pretend to be mute.

Seeing that Lan Shu was almost out of sight, Yin Cheng started giving the fourth brother bad advice.

If these two continue to be so awkward, he and his wife will have to share their frustration.

"Fourth Brother, I think you can overthrow the Heavenly Gang."

Lin Yuntang asked, "What do you mean?"

Yin Cheng said, "You should seduce him the same way he seduced you before, using magic to defeat magic."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuntang initially rejected the idea, then pondered it deeply, and finally realized that it was indeed a viable solution.

He said, "I understand." Then he spurred his horse and chased after them.

Yin Cheng sighed as he watched the two figures disappear. He thought to himself that his wife would surely praise him for going to such lengths to help his fourth brother find a wife.

Lin Nian had prepared herself for not seeing her man for several days, but to her surprise, he returned after only one day.

Yin Cheng hurriedly handed the bag of tangerines to his wife, and the group went to find Zhao Lang without stopping.

According to Lin Yuntang, in the Miao region of Southwest China, the Atuna tribe is the most skilled in using Gu poison.

This mysterious family also knows how to control the five poisons, so others also call the place where the Atuna family lives—the Five Poisons Fortress.

The holy son of the Atuna clan in this generation is none other than Zhao Lang's husband, Atuna Qianyuan.

Yin Cheng was greatly shocked. He was not shocked that Zhao Lang, an ordinary border garrison general, had married the holy son of Miao, but that the blond-haired man was just an insect breeder who played with Gu poison.

Although Zhao Lang felt that the chances of Lin Yunting still being alive were too slim, he still asked his husband to go there.

Before leaving, Atuna Qianyuan called Huang Mao along as well.

Atuna Qianyuan explained that Huang Mao could use spiders to find people, and bringing him along might be useful.

The others had no objections, but Yin Cheng was in a very difficult position.

Because his little round face was hugging his leg right now, looking at him pitifully, his big, black grape-like eyes blinking, which could melt anyone's heart.
