Being the King of War's Smart Wife
Small Bet
The dark GUARDS had been obedient to Mu Xianzhai for many years. No one dared to defy or betray his orders. Therefore, Mu Xianzhai smiled confidently while giving Li Chang Su a big, mature fish.
If his Su'er was able to do that, he would even give her the keys to the storehouse of wealth, the certificate of the house and the land, then some shops that were under his control. Let his wife hold it all in the future. If one day he betrays the girl, everything will be gone. He will be a poor man.
"Is Su'er sure they will obey?" Behind that silver mask, Mu Xianzhai had a glint of confidence.
"of course. Want proof?" The girl challenged him.
"good. If Su'er loses, then serve this King for a week in a row. If this King were to lose, all the treasures of the War King Palace would be yours." Mu Xianzhai had it a big bet. Even if he loses, it doesn't matter.
"I agree!"
Li Chang Su did not think of anything else let alone Mu Xianzhai's desire to win later. Isn't that just rolling on the bed? He didn't feel any trouble at all anymore. So agree immediately.
Seeing that the girl was so excited, Litt and Mu Hongzhi could only glance at each other. Then Lict held out a hand. He must be on Li Chang Su's side. As for Mu Hongzhi, he was immediately on Mu Xianzhai's side. If not, he might be punished.
Since both Lict and Li Chang Su were from the same era, it was no wonder the two would work together. Li Chang Su sneered. But first, they eat grilled fish first before it gets cold. The dark guards only wanted to cry without tears while enjoying the fish. Instead of being happy, they just felt like they were on the brink.
Who should they choose? The princess or the king? This was soon well discussed. After eating the grilled fish, the dark guards gathered to talk about the matter. If Mu Xianzhai chose, then the princess would be defeated by shame. But if the princess wins, Mu Xianzhai takes the loss.
Not to mention, the princess was so mysterious. Li Chang Su knew that they must be discussing about this matter. Calculating profit and loss. As for Mu Xianzhai, it seemed to have a slight strangeness. Could it be that those dark guards would turn to his wife?
"You're going to lose!" Li Chang Su was very confident.
"Su'er, it's too early." Mu Xianzhai immediately glanced at the dark guards who were still unfinished as well, then his face darkened. "Are you gossiping or discussing?"
The dark guards instantly shivered. They immediately ended the discussion and approached them. "The branch is finished" said one of them.
"Mm ..." Mu Xianzhai only nodded faintly. "Tell this king, which side do you support?" He raised his eyebrows behind the silver mask.
With perfect attitude, they immediately answered compactly. "Wanghao!"
"...." - ".Mu Xianzhai felt that his ears were buzzing. And Mu Hongzhi himself had his heart instantly broken.
The dark guards betrayed their cousins and chose a cousin-in-law. If it was another woman, perhaps Mu Hongzhi was already furious. But this ... this is cousin-in-law. If he is wrong and unhappy, he may fast in the future. All the good food was sourced from his cousin-in-law.
So now, Mu Hongzhi was also pleased. But had to keep his face from being caught by Mu Xianzhai. If that happens too, it'll be over.
"You're picking on the Princess' side?" Mu Xianzhai had an unwelcome tone. "Why?"
"Because we already know the power of His Majesty. So ... therefore ... we choose the Princess who is good at everything." One of the dark guards who was quite skinny also explained.
But they were aware that at this moment, cold sweat was pouring down each other's backs. They had followed this war king for a long time. It was impossible if it was blind about Mu Xianzhai's strength. But the princess was convincing. It has many ideas and a mysterious side.
On the side, Li Chang Su smiled triumphantly. Of course they would choose it. And look at this moment, Mu Xianzhai was taking a loss. The dark guards he had always guarded had turned to him.
"Don't put on a face like that. They're still your dark guards. They just support me," Li Chang Su said calmly. He grabbed Mu Xianzhai's arm and leaned on her like a good wife.
The dark guards immediately nodded like chickens pecking at rice. "Yes, yes ... The Princess was right. Your Majesty the King, we are still loyal."
"...." - ".Li Chang Su felt that if their support was just a cloud in the sky, it went windward after it finished overshadowing the tree.
The dark guards of course chose the same weight. That way, they would not get any punishment from Mu Xianzhai. Nor will he get any ill treatment from the princess.
Well, this is the perfect strategy.
Lict heaved a sigh of relief and arrogance in front of Mu Hongzhi. As for Xue Zi, it could only be a spectator. Good on any side, he doesn't care. The important thing is to eat cold carrots.
Since the dark guards sided with his wife, Mu Xianzhai could only accept defeat. He grabbed the girl and pinched her shirt a little. This girl is really something. Convincing the dark guards was incredible.
They immediately returned to the shadows. Mu Hongzhi could not hide himself anymore to be happy.
"Swine-in-law, that's amazing. Gaining the trust of the dark guards, will definitely earn the trust of the secret guards," he said.
"Secret guard?" The girl was confused.
"Is it like a special guard who appears at certain times only?" Lict guessing.
"Rubber!" Mu Hongzhi nodded. "Secret guardians will only appear when cousins are in danger. But since the dark guards sided with Cousin-in-law, then they would also save her."
Mu Hongzhi's explanation revealed that these secret guards were stronger than the dark guards. Li Chang Su finally understood. But Mu Xianzhai looked unhappy at his stupid cousin's explanation.
"Even if the dark guard doesn't choose Su'er, the secret guard still has to save my wife. If not, they can only die. It's better if I don't have any secret guards at all" Mu Xianzhai said with sincerity.
Maybe at this time, the secret guards who were somewhere, immediately goosebumps and sneeze. Someone is threatening their lives. Until finally choosing to do something else.
Mu Hongzhi agreed with his cousin's words. Even without a secret guard, he would still take good care of his cousin. The secret guard was something that the late mother concubine Mu Xianzhai had left behind. Then the emperor took good care of him until he renewed many secret guards.
The war king was not only the third prince or the son of the emperor, but also the heir to the true silver dragon bracelet of the retired emperor. Unfortunately, Mu Xianzhai had no desire to become emperor until now, that position was still held by his own father.
After they had breakfast, Li Chang Su immediately made a green bean porridge. Cold weather like this would be nice if while eating something warm and sweet. Mu Xianzhai was in no hurry. It's still too early anyway.
When the green bean porridge is ripe, each comes one container of fitting size. At least it's safe to keep on the train.
"All right, let's continue the journey. The people of the Black Sect must have been chasing to disturb us," Mu Hongzhi said.
"Instead of killing us, it might even lead us there." Li Chang Su narrowed his eyes.
"Oh, why?" Mu Hongzhi looked stupid.
