Under the crowd's welcoming, and under the escort of the civil and military officials, Tang Yin's scenery returned to County Magistrate Mansion without end.
Tang Yin was currently clad in armor, looking worn out from the journey, and was extremely exhausted. He patiently waited for the many officials who had arrived, and at this time, he caught a glimpse of Fan Min standing in the courtyard.
Tang Yin's heart stirred. He took the opportunity to pull Shangguan Yuanji over and let him deal with these officials while he found an excuse to leave the courtyard.
When he came out, Fan Min had not walked far, Tang Yin quickly caught up and asked: Xiao Min, you're looking for me?
Who would have thought that he would actually chase after her after seeing her just now. A warm feeling flowed through Fan Min's heart, and he shook his head: "Nothing much, I just came to take a look, and seeing that you're fine, I'm relieved. I'll go back first …"
As she was speaking, she turned to leave. Tang Yin took the initiative to hold her hand, and said softly: "I've made you worry."
This was the first time Tang Yin took the initiative to hold her hand. He was worried about whether he could hold on to his Heng City, and worried about Tang Yin's safety as well. Fan Min also worried about whether he would be able to do so.
At this moment, her emotions surged and she could not control her emotions. She lowered her head and tears fell from her eyes.
A woman's tears were a sharp weapon. Even the toughest man would become soft on the fingers if he saw it. Tang Yin was no exception. Fan Min's silent cry hurt him more than her loud cry, but he was not good at words, nor did he know how to comfort others. She was stunned for a moment before instinctively opening her arms wide and hugging Fan Min tightly.
The courtyard was quiet, as though everyone had vanished from sight. At this moment, only the two of them remained.
Tang Yin reached into his bosom and pulled out a handkerchief, wiping away the tears on Fan Min's cheeks.
Fan Min was very familiar with this handkerchief. It was the one she gave to Tang Yin, and it was only a lot dirtier than the one she gave him back then. She sniffed her sore nose and asked in surprise, "You still have it."
"Yes!" Tang Yin responded as he lowered his head to look at his handkerchief and said: "Unfortunately, I've dirtied it."
"It's alright, I'll give you another one." With that, Fan Min took the handkerchief from Tang Yin's hand.
"No need." Tang Yin laughed, then kept the handkerchief and kept it. He looked at Fan Min who was leaning against her chest, and felt that she had become much thinner than when she left. Even if she didn't tell him, he could understand that her life hadn't been easy during this period of time.
"Alright!" Fan Min replied softly.
Tang Yin returned to his room and had the servant prepare a bath, but Fan Min followed him over. Seeing that, Tang Yin laughed: I want to take a bath now.
Fan Min didn't seem to understand his words, feigning innocence: "You wash your clothes, it's not like I can't peek."
Tang Yin shook his head and laughed, he did not say anymore, and started to remove the armor on his body. To the Spirit Cultivator, due to the protection of their spirit armor, the armor was not very effective in the battle. At most, it could be considered as a second layer of protection, but it was more effective as a defense against ambushes.
Fan Min walked up and helped Tang Yin take off his breastplate.
After removing the thick armor, he felt much more relaxed.
Tang Yin's bedroom was very big, there was a screen inside, Tang Yin was bathing inside, and Fan Min was sitting outside the screen.
She leaned her chin on her hand and stared blankly at the screen. After a while, she broke the silence and asked, "What does the capital of the Savage Country look like? Is it big? "
Sitting in the bathtub, Tang Yin leaned his head back, leaned his head against the rim of the bathtub and sighed comfortably, he said leisurely: "It's very big, it's about the same size as Yan City, or maybe a little bigger, there are a lot of shops in the city, this time brothers should be able to get a lot of good things, after we collect them, I'll bring you there to have a look!"
"Alright!" Hearing this, Fan Min immediately became spirited, and she asked again: "Then have you seen the king of Savage Country?"
"Ha ha!" Tang Yin laughed out loud and said, "The King of Bessa is nothing special. She has the same eyes and nose as you and me, if it wasn't for the fact that they were worried about Heng City, I would have brought his head back!"
Ah!" Fan Min opened her mouth in surprise, but the light in her eyes only grew brighter.
"Then... Will we be fighting with Savage Country in the future? "
Tang Yin was also unable to answer this question. He faintly said, "Maybe, maybe not. Who knows."
"If only we could stop the war, I wouldn't have to worry about you anymore." After saying that, Fan Min's jade face flushed, and immediately followed up: "The things related to Savage Country are very popular, I believe that the things related to our Feng Country are also popular. If both countries can live in peace and the borders can be opened for trade, the Pingyuan County will definitely become the most prosperous county in the entire country."
Tang Yin did not dare hold onto such extravagant hopes. He shrugged and said: "There are some things that cannot be changed by relying on human strength."
Feng Country and Bessa City had been at loggerheads for so many years, how many people had died in the hands of Savage Soldier, so how could the grievances between them disappear in one go?
As he spoke, Tang Yin finished cleaning up. He put on his pants and walked out, bare-chested, around the screen.
His body was considered skinny, but it was extremely well-proportioned, and there was not a single piece of fat to be found on his body. The muscles on his back were especially well-developed, with an inverted triangle, and the eight abdominal muscles arranged neatly. From this, it could be seen that when Tang Yin made his move, he did not exert power from a specific part of his body, but instead, his entire body was concentrating his strength.
Seeing Tang Yin's upper body that was naked, not only did Fan Min's face turn red, even his neck and body that was under his clothes became red, as though he was a cooked prawn. She stuttered, "You …" Why did you come out without any clothes on? "
She was not yet twenty and was the daughter of a wealthy merchant. For as long as she could remember, not only had she not seen a man's naked body, but even a woman's naked body had only seen her own.
Tang Yin had always felt that the women in Feng Country were much more open-minded than he was, and Fan Min rarely displayed such an awkward and shy look. He found it very interesting and couldn't help but tease her: "Didn't you want to see me take a bath?"
"Who wants to watch you take a bath?!" With that said, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to hide in, but her eyes uncontrollably fell on Tang Yin's mother's body. There was curiosity, surprise and admiration in her eyes.
How could any man stand being stared at like that by a woman? Furthermore, she was a beautiful woman like Fan Min.
Tang Yin's gaze gradually became deeper as he lowered his body and moved closer to Fan Min's ear. Smelling the soft yet not thick musk on her body, he asked with a hoarse voice: "If you look at me like this, I'll think you're inviting me."
His breath landed on Fan Min's ears, causing her body to feel like it was going to go numb.
She did not understand what Tang Yin meant, but opened his mouth and asked dumbly: "Ah?"
Tang Yin no longer teased her, but directly expressed it with his actions.
He held onto the back of Fan Min's neck with one hand and lowered her body as well, fiercely kissing those tender and beautiful red lips.
His kiss, like his own, was not gentle, wild, violent, and full of evil.
At first, Fan Min's eyes opened wide, and her mind turned blank. But she quickly recovered and slowly closed her eyes, indulging herself in that unique sweetness, trying to cater to Tang Yin's demands.
Under his kiss, she felt as if all the strength in her body was being sucked out of her. Her body was light and light, as if she were floating in midair. When she regained consciousness and realized that she was really suspended in mid air, Tang Yin's powerful arms had already grabbed her by the waist.
County Magistrate Mansion, main hall.
When Tang Yin returned to the hall again, all the officials of the Heng City had already left. The rest were all generals of the Pingyuan Army, along with Shangguan Yuanji and Shangguan Yuanyang.
He sat in the middle chair, looked around at the people, and said: "All brothers have worked hard to defend against the Savage Country army this time, how are the losses of our army?" After he finished speaking, he noticed that one of the people present was missing. He frowned and asked, "General Zhang?"
At the moment, Tang Yin still did not know about Zhang Zhou's death. After hearing his question, everyone looked at each other before lowering their heads.
Tang Yin sensed that something was amiss with the heavy atmosphere. His frown deepened as he turned to look at Qiu Zhen and Xiao Muqing.
Xiao Muqing did not speak. Instead, he said in a low voice: "Master, General Zhang …. General Zhang died in the battle when he sneaked an attack on Enemy's Camp! "
"Huh?" Tang Yin was greatly shocked, although he did not have a good impression of Zhang Zhou, he did not have a bad impression either, thinking that other than being a little too cautious, he was also a good general. Upon hearing the news of Zhang Zhou's death, he was immediately stunned, unable to recover from the shock.
Seeing that, Xiao Muqing did not dare act dumb, as no matter what, Zhang Zhou had lost his life in the execution of his orders.
He lightly cleared his throat and said: "Master, General Zhang rushed into the Enemy's Camp late at night and burned down the enemy's rations, but he himself was also heavily surrounded. In order to cover for the safe evacuation of the other brothers, although General Zhang had to endure the attacks of the Savage Army's cavalry, although there were many of them, General Zhang would rather die than surrender, and in the end, be outnumbered, General Zhang and his five thousand soldiers had all lost their lives.
From the beginning to end, his words were in recognition of Zhang Zhou, but in reality, he was taking responsibility for himself. His order was not a problem, and did have the effect of retreating, but Zhang Zhou being trapped and dying was something no one expected.
After hearing what he said, Tang Yin stared at Xiao Muqing.
The latter panicked when he saw him, and quickly lowered her head, not daring to look straight at Tang Yin.
After a long while, Tang Yin retracted his gaze and asked: "Have the General Zhang's remains been buried?"
"This …" Qiu Zhen revealed a troubled face and said: "We didn't find the remains of the General Zhang in the Savage Army Camp, we only found the General Zhang's helmet!"
"Pah!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Yin slammed the table and asked angrily, "You can't even find the body?"
