The Government Assigns A Daughter-In-Law, Which Needs To Be Chosen?

Chapter 157: The Anxious Princess

"Haha! The Martial Emperor is indeed getting old. He actually sent away the elite army. We will counterattack immediately and swallow the entire western front!"

"That's right. As long as we can swallow the entire western front, we can control the entire Dragon River and govern it like the Great Long!"

When the leaders of the rebellion in the western front learned that the Martial Emperor had withdrawn the elite army, many of them became excited.

The western front, which was divided by the Dragon River that runs through the Great Long, is similar to the land occupied by Sun Quan in the Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period.

As long as they can completely swallow it, they can use the natural defenses of the Dragon River to govern the area and firmly establish their foothold.

The leaders of the rebellion became more and more excited at the thought of capturing almost half of the territory.

But before they could take action, they were crushed by an invisible hand.

All the rebels were ordered not to move and to continue facing the remaining imperial army.

"My lord, why don't we take advantage of this opportunity to take the western front? Isn't this what we have been waiting for, at the cost of so much effort?"

A figure wearing a silver mask found someone wearing a golden mask.

It was the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect, and the person she found wearing the golden mask was their mysterious leader.

The information given by the woman was correct. The mastermind behind the rebellion in the western front was the mysterious leader hidden by the White Lotus Sect.

The mysterious leader stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the flowing Dragon River, and calmly replied to the question, "Do you know where the Martial Emperor has mobilized the army?"

The Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect remained silent.

"Judging from your reaction, you should already know. Do you still need me to answer you?"

The mysterious leader coldly said, "Or is there something different in your mind now?"

Last time, he sent out the Blood Spirit Guards and suffered a defeat in Lin Fan's manor, revealing the depth of this enemy.

Now, for some unknown reason, the Martial Emperor wanted to make Lin Fan his number one target, which was a great opportunity for them.

Faced with such a good opportunity, how could he complicate things and attract the Martial Emperor's attention?

Not only did he not take action now, but he also planned to provide some assistance to Lin Fan, trying to balance the two sides as much as possible.

As long as he accomplished these things.

He just needed to sit back and watch the two sides fight until they were severely weakened.

No matter who ultimately won, it would be a great thing for him.

Now he just needed to wait, wait for the moment when the two sides were truly engaged in a fierce battle, the moment when his plan for a change of power was truly set in motion.

Knowing all this, the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect still came to deliberately inquire, how could she not have other thoughts?

His sharp gaze swept over the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect, and finally, he said a sentence without any context.

"You've been eating well lately. You seem to have gained some weight."

It sounded like a casual conversation, a concern for a subordinate, but when the Holy Maiden heard these words, her expression changed.

Fortunately, she was wearing a mask and slightly lowered her head, so the master on the other side didn't notice.

"Do your job well. When the time comes for real action, I have already made plans. You will be responsible for mobilizing the rebels. Do what you, as the Holy Maiden, should do. Your reward will be inevitable when the time comes."

The mysterious leader didn't really make a move. It was just his habitual way of testing, and he didn't really doubt his trusted subordinate.

After all, the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect had been raised by him since childhood. He provided her with food, clothing, and martial arts training, cultivating her poisonous skills. One could say that he had given her everything.

In this situation, he didn't believe that she would betray him, nor did he have the courage to betray the person who had raised her.

When he was teaching her the poisonous skills, he left a control point. Anyone who dared to betray him would have no place to bury their body.

"As you command."

The Holy Maiden of the White Lotus lowered her head and accepted the order, her response greatly satisfying the other party.

"Go, appease the leaders of the rebel army and also recruit skilled martial artists from the martial world. Don't let them cause trouble during this period of time, so as not to ruin my plan."

The mysterious master waved his hand, not intending to say much about this matter.

"Yes!"

The Holy Maiden of the White Lotus nodded again, then swiftly left using her body movement technique.

The mysterious master watched her leave, his eyes behind the mask filled with a deep and unfathomable gaze, and no one could discern his inner thoughts.

Tianfeng County.

Inside the Lin family's estate.

Lin Fan was alone, looking at five pots and directly preparing them according to the standards of a feast.

A large group of servants assisted him, handling various dishes according to his requirements.

Before the dishes were even cooked, the rich and intense aroma made the servants in the kitchen salivate.

They thought their master was just doing it for fun.

They didn't expect that he would really be able to cook delicious dishes.

"Lin Fan, you really know how to cook? I thought you were just fooling around with us."

Dao Miaomiao was about to give birth, but she was still bouncing around. When she heard that Lin Fan was going to cook for her and the others, she immediately came with her big belly.

The female dark guard from last time was now her personal maid, specifically responsible for taking care of her daily life, and she accompanied her as well.

When they saw the figure busy in front of several large pots, they couldn't help but marvel.

Proficient in forging weapons, proficient in mechanical arts, proficient in medicine, proficient in poison-making, and now proficient in cooking.

What else couldn't he do?

She couldn't understand why there would be such a remarkable man in this world.

Coupled with his terrifying strength, this kind of extraordinary man was simply a perfect match in life.

But when she thought about her own identity, she lowered her head deeply.

No one noticed this situation, and when Lin Fan heard his wife's words, he started his usual bragging.

Dao Miaomiao was amused and giggled, she went forward to get close to Lin Fan, wanting to help him, but she couldn't even tell the difference between salt and sugar, so she was directly sent away by Lin Fan.

"You just wait on the side and get ready to eat. Leave the rough work to me."

When Lin Fan heard that she wanted something sweeter, he put in a few less spoons of salt into the pot, and his face was instantly covered in black lines.

"Hmph! How dare you look down on me. If the dishes you make don't suit my taste later, watch me bite you!"

Dao Miaomiao pouted and muttered, expressing her displeasure at being looked down upon.

"That's fine."

Lin Fan smiled and nodded, "If the dishes I make aren't delicious, you can bite me, but it has to be a proper bite, you can't just bite randomly."

"What did you say!"

Dao Miaomiao didn't react for a moment, but quickly understood, her face blushing as she stomped her foot in anger.

"Haha!"

Lin Fan burst into laughter, he loved seeing his wife's shy appearance.

The dishes were quickly prepared, and the abilities of the culinary god did not disappoint. The cooked meat not only increased one's vitality and blood, but also strengthened one's physique.

This is somewhat similar to the magic food in online games. Eating it can improve one's physical fitness, increase health and constitution.

There are also medicinal dishes made with some herbs. As long as you eat them, your energy and spirit will be in a boiling state for a period of time, making you feel energetic and keeping yourself at the peak for a long time.

This is not a kind of overdraft, but a continuous supplement. It won't eliminate the state of excitement and then fall into weakness.

"Not bad, not bad."

Lin Fan tried everything and was very satisfied with the results.

In the restaurant.

Several wives had been waiting to taste their husband's cooking.

However, Lin Fan did not expect that Long Kui, the wife on the agreement, was also there.

He didn't have much thought about the other party, after all, they were enemies. Signing a marriage contract with the other party was just a way to take advantage of the system rewards.

But since the other party came, he naturally couldn't drive her away. After all, the other party had helped him a lot, so he added another pair of chopsticks.

Facing Lin Fan's gaze, Long Kui slowly clenched the hand under the table, obviously still quite unsettled in her heart.

Jian Ling beside her smiled, as she was the one who invited the other party to the banquet table.

As for what they said, only the two of them knew.

Everyone was present, and the maidservants quickly brought out the dishes.

"Wow! It smells so good!"

Wang Nannan was the wife who loved food the most. When the dishes cooked by Lin Fan, the culinary god, were brought out, the rich aroma made her scream in excitement.

"Well, it really smells good."

The other wives nodded, even Long Kui couldn't help but nod slightly.

These dishes were indeed fragrant, and they had the three elements of color, aroma, and taste. Even ordinary vegetables were presented in a variety of ways, like a lush green dragon.

There was also a braised carp, which was clearly a fish, but it looked like a flying swallow.

There were also various meat dishes, which also had the three elements of color, aroma, and taste.

Picking up a piece of beef, it had a unique chewiness that wasn't difficult to eat. The cooking was just right in terms of temperature and other factors.

The most important thing was that after eating, Long Kui felt that her blood and energy had improved.

Although it was very weak, as an extraordinary master, she could clearly sense it.

The amount of improvement was small.

But if a large portion was eaten, the amount of improvement would be quite considerable.

In martial arts, in addition to cultivating internal strength, one's blood and energy were also important. This not only made one's physique stronger, but also allowed for more internal strength.

In short, increasing one's blood and energy in martial arts was a very beneficial thing.

That's why highly skilled martial artists have bulging temples, which is a manifestation of abundant blood and energy.

"Simple cooking can actually significantly enhance a person's blood and energy. What kind of ability is this?"

Long Kui originally didn't plan to eat anything, as her mood was not good at the moment. But now she couldn't help but pick up her chopsticks and was full of curiosity about Lin Fan's ability. Her beautiful eyes couldn't help but glance at Lin Fan from time to time.

With such great strength that even extraordinary masters could easily suppress, she had learned a lot about his abilities when she spoke privately with Jian Ling earlier.

Now, even the dishes he cooked had such a miraculous ability, which completely aroused her curiosity.

Jian Ling had been paying attention and was about to say something when Su Erhu, the commander of the guards, hurriedly came to seek an audience.

"Fan Ge, just now someone shot an arrow at the main gate with a letter tied to it, specifically mentioning that it's for you."

Su Erhuo got the permission and handed over a letter, explaining his purpose.

"Someone sent a message with a flying arrow?"

Lin Fan paused for a moment, then reached out and took the letter, opening it.

When he saw the information on the letter, he immediately smiled and looked towards Long Kui.

"Guess what the message in this letter says?"

He smiled and asked the other person.

Long Kui frowned at the words, not knowing what information would be written on the letter.

Even if her father sent a letter, it wouldn't be delivered in this way.

Indeed, it wasn't the other person's father, but the information on it was interesting.

Lin Fan didn't keep the suspense, and directly handed the letter to the other person.

Long Kui took it with confusion, then furrowed her brows and quickly read through the letter.

When she finished reading the contents of the letter, her expression changed drastically.

Just an ordinary letter.

What was written on it was actually detailed information about the elite troops of the Jingying Army.

The total number of troops, the route for transporting supplies, and detailed introductions of each officer.

For example, what they were good at, what their weaknesses were, and even their vulnerabilities.

This kind of detailed information, even few people in the court knew, she wouldn't know it either if she didn't have a noble status and control over a violent organization.

But now,

Someone had sent it to Lin Fan in this way.

The implications on it were not good, and the more she thought about it, the more her complexion changed.

This was either an invisible hand or an invisible hand in a high position, wanting to make both sides suffer!

Others might not have this ability, but she knew that the man in front of her did.

The guards in the mansion didn't hide it from her, and Jian Ling's strength wasn't hidden either.

And Lin Fan's unfathomable strength, she had personally experienced it.

She stayed here with peace of mind, and even under Jian Ling's persuasion, she tried to make contact, just to try to resolve their misunderstandings.

Both sides weren't considered mortal enemies.

Now, with this information, they could definitely deal a heavy blow to the elite troops of the Jingying Army, and even behead all the loyal officers inside.

If it really happened, the elite army of this dynasty would be ruined.

By then,

The ambitious person hiding behind the scenes would definitely no longer hide in the dark.

Coupled with the neighboring country's ambitions, it's possible that the Great Long Dynasty would really be overthrown.

If it came to that, she would be a princess of a fallen country.

"Let me contact my father, I will persuade him to withdraw the army and not hold your offense against you. I will give you the ransom according to your demands!"

Long Kui couldn't maintain her calmness anymore, her words were not only urgent, but also pleading.

At this moment, this dignified princess was completely panicked.
