A Romantic Detective in the Qing Dynasty [Complete] - 21

Part Four: The Road to Revitalization, Chapter Three: The Wedding Night.

My penis suddenly felt a series of light pinches. Oh, I understand, she was already awake; she was pretending to be asleep, wanting me to give her an out. But I couldn't let this sensual pleasure end so easily. My large hand below began to caress her buttocks and her anus. Ah, so tender! It began to contract and relax, feeling wonderful!

She suppressed a moan, but the hand that was pinching my penis continued to knead it, making it exceptionally strong, while her face gradually turned even redder.

I gently said to my two young wives, "What are you looking at? Go check on our horses and camels. I need to take her off my arms. It's all Na'er's fault. I thought it was Na'er, and I mistakenly hugged a beautiful girl!"

The two wives obediently went out. I patted the girl's bottom and said, "Stop pretending. You're so shameless. You know you're wrong, yet you still touch other people's treasures! Aren't you afraid I'll eat you up?"

The girl blushed deeply and whispered, "Wrong? Who's wrong? Your bed is over there, mine is over here, there are two people in between! How could you have gone to the wrong place? Don't try to cover it up with that! This is my bed. I didn't drag you here. You walked in by yourself! You dared to come in but you don't dare admit it? Look, I'm still holding onto this thing. I held onto it because I like it. What's there to be ashamed of? If His Majesty enters my bed, let alone groping my bottom, even if the dragon takes my place..." "I have nowhere to complain! I think it's already come to this, I can't let His Majesty touch me for nothing, I have to see if His Majesty is well-endowed! If he is, I'll accept it, a hen follows a rooster, a dog follows a dog, but if he's not well-endowed, I'll just have to die! I can't lose my virginity and then find a new lover!"

I said with a smile, "How was it, not bad?"

The girl spat and said, "Shameless! Just average! It seems I can still live on! Whether he's well-endowed or not can't be determined by appearances, we'll talk about it later! His Majesty, you can go now, I'll lie down for a while longer. In the middle of the night you were calling and shouting for Qing'er, making me so confused, I couldn't sleep at all. Then you held me in your arms, pinched my breasts and then my buttocks, making me stay awake all night, you really ruined me!"

I was shocked, it turned out she knew I went into her bed, sigh, another romantic debt!

I placed her on the pillow, sat up, and got dressed. Just as I was about to leave her, she suddenly wrapped her arms around my waist: "Your Majesty, give me a kiss!"

I picked her up again, held her in my arms, and gave her a solid kiss. Then I slipped my hand inside her bosom, caressing her small, delicate breasts. She let out a soft moan, her body stiffening instantly, but her eyes were filled with endless desire as she gazed at me affectionately.

I gently squeezed her breasts a few times, then pulled my hand out and patted her pert bottom, saying, "Don't be stubborn. Get up and properly manage the Yellow River for me. If you manage it well, I'll bestow upon you the title of Consort Qing. If you don't, I'll not only drag you outside the Meridian Gate and have you beheaded!" After saying that, I laughed first!

She scrambled to her feet, wrapped her arms around my neck, kissed me on the cheek, and said, "A king's word is law, Qing'er awaits the day you are made a concubine! As for the execution, Qing'er knows Your Majesty is reluctant, but Qing'er will never disappoint Your Majesty!"

She hurriedly dressed, and just as she was about to leave, she turned back and knelt before me: "Your Majesty has entrusted Qing'er with the task of managing the river, but Qing'er is merely a commoner, and doesn't know how to manage it?"

I smiled and said, "Qing'er is quite astute! Alright, I will personally appoint you as the Director of the National Yellow River Conservancy Commission, and you will be my Executive Deputy Director. Go and invite that old sage to be your advisor. I will provide you with 100,000 troops and 15 large bulldozers, and give you one year to complete the first phase of the project: building a 30-meter-wide canal from Taole to Hongliuhe, to facilitate flood control during the Yellow River's ice jams." "In the first phase, we will open the sluice gates and divert some Yellow River water into Shaanxi to ensure that the Linhe area will not breach its banks again due to ice jams! The second phase of the project will take a long time, which is to divert Yellow River water for irrigation, transform the Mu Us Desert, and turn the Hetao region into a granary where people are prosperous and their lives are stable!"

She was taken aback, but immediately asked, "Then what about Linhe this year?"

I said, "There's no time left, I have to think of another way!"

She blushed, and after a long pause, she said, "Wouldn't that mean that even if we work hard our whole lives, we still won't be able to fulfill Qing'er's dream or keep His Majesty's promise?"

I laughed and said, "Is that so important?"

She looked up at me and said, "Qing'er is really looking forward to that day!"

I pulled her over, and she let out a soft moan and rushed into my arms, like a docile kitten, snuggling tightly in my embrace.

A soft chuckle came from the side. I knew my two little wives had been watching for a while. So I said to them, "I have already made Qing'er my concubine. From now on, you are sisters. Stop sneaking peeks at me and Qing'er being intimate!"

The two women quickly replied, "Yes! Your Majesty, you and Qing'er should hurry up and be intimate. Li Xianglin and the others have already prepared the meal. It would be better to be intimate after you have eaten!" After saying that, they laughed and ran out.

I patted Qing'er's cute little bottom and asked, "Are you relieved now?"

Qing'er hugged my waist tightly and whispered, "Qing'er's heart isn't at ease until she's shared a room with Wansui! Qing'er longs for Wansui's love! Qing'er also wants to shout 'I love you, brother!' like her two older sisters!"

After lunch, we continued our journey. Around noon, we arrived at the Red Willow River. We measured the water level, and it was basically about right. The riverbed was slightly higher, so we needed to descend about half a meter. I walked downstream along the river, and thankfully, I could descend more than a meter in less than a hundred meters. It seems that the old sage had already measured it; this route must be the culmination of his years of hard work! What a thoughtful person!

Seeing that I had given my approval, Qing'er happily hugged me and started kissing me passionately. However, she was clearly a novice at kissing, only knowing how to nibble on my face, leaving it all wet!

After the kiss, she said to me, "Qing'er really wants His Majesty to shower her with affection right away, but we need to hurry up and implement His Majesty's important task of managing the Yellow River. Qing'er will go and invite that old sage right now!"

I grabbed her arm, "Don't rush, this is a big deal. I need to draft a plan immediately, have the experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences study and discuss it, and then submit it to Parliament for approval before it can be implemented!"

She said dejectedly, "Is it that difficult?"

I said, "Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Since it's a major undertaking that benefits the country and its people, we must carefully weigh its pros and cons, and determine if this plan is the best choice. This requires mobilizing all forces to investigate and demonstrate, ensuring that everything goes smoothly!"

She nodded and said, "I understand, His Majesty wants everyone to govern the country!"

The wind picked up again in the afternoon, but this time we weren't afraid. We stayed in a small town called Boluobao, and Qing'er led us inside... We arrived at an inn called Jixianzhuang. The owner wasn't home, so the landlady greeted us. As soon as she saw Qing'er, she clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Oh my, what wind blew my fairy sister here?" She looked at me beside Qing'er and said, "Sister, are you about to marry into a famous family? This is a joyous occasion! I'll arrange this wedding for you today, and I guarantee you'll have a grand and glorious wedding!" Qing'er said calmly

, "My husband and I have already drunk the nuptial wine, so there's no need for you to worry about me. What about my brother Dashan?"

The landlady immediately burst into tears, "Sister, you've come at the perfect time. You be the judge of this! Your brother is always idle, indulging in drinking, gambling, and whoring. The other day, I said a few words to him, and he stormed off, leaving me all alone. How am I supposed to live?"

I looked at the landlady; she was probably in her thirties and quite attractive, but she was dressed in a greasy, powdered style, and her eyebrows were heavily made up. I had a feeling she wasn't a kind person.

Qing'er frowned and said coldly, "My brother Dashan is honest and kind, definitely not the kind of person you described. I'm afraid you've misunderstood him, sister-in-law. When he comes back, I'll try to persuade him!"

The landlady hurriedly said, "That's wonderful! Dashan is my support, after all. I can't live without him!"

As she spoke, she instructed the waiter to arrange several superior rooms for us and prepare a feast, personally toasting us to welcome us.

After the meal, Qing'er said, "My husband and my two sisters are tired, so there's no need for formalities. We need to go upstairs to rest. We can talk about anything else tomorrow!" After saying that, she pulled me, Na'er, Ying'er, and me upstairs. Before going upstairs, she called to Li Xianglin, "The young master needs to rest. Quickly bring him some foot-washing water!" As

soon as the four of us entered the room, Li Xianglin brought in the foot-washing water.

Qing'er took out a medicine gourd and gave him a dozen or so pills, saying, "Have everyone take these pills immediately. This is a den of thieves. Zhang Dashan may have already been killed by them. Go back to your rooms right now and pretend to be poisoned. Listen to my orders!"

As soon as Li Xianglin left, she brought us water and medicine, saying, "Eat these quickly. Tonight is going to be lively!"

I laughed and said, "Qing'er, aren't you overthinking it? We haven't come into contact with any poison yet!"

She chuckled softly and said, "Poisoning food? Isn't that too obvious and stupid? Everyone would be careful of poison in their food. How could they possibly use that? They'll definitely use poisonous smoke to fumigate us when we're asleep. By then, we won't be on guard at all!"

I laughed, "Wouldn't that make our wedding night even more exciting? " "Is it special?"

Qing'er blushed and said, "I saw several men cooking in the kitchen, mostly Mongolian men. They seem to be from the Bayannur Prince's men. This Bayannur Prince has a henchman named Delgen, a notorious womanizer. He's definitely hooked up with this proprietress now. You two sisters showed your faces just now, they're definitely going to make their move tonight!"

I laughed and said, "Then let's see the might of Consort Qing!"

Qing'er said with a surge of heroic spirit, "Consort Qing will never let His Majesty be in any danger! It's just that this wedding night might be a bit of a disappointment. I have to go and mobilize troops immediately!"

I smiled and said, "Good things come to those who wait. I won't miss one more night!"

The girl jumped onto the windowsill, turned around and said, "I'll be right back. Don't leave the room." After saying that, she disappeared into the darkness in an instant.

My two young wives and I took out Chinese pistols from our luggage, loaded them with bullets, and then lay on the bed, quietly pretending to be poisoned, and closed our eyes.

In less than the time it takes to smoke a pipe, Qing'er returned. I asked in a low voice, "Why are you back so soon?"

She whispered, "I had to be quick. How could I be at ease leaving His Majesty in that den of demons?"

She blew out the lamp, climbed into bed, snuggled into my arms, and whispered, "No one should make a sound. Their ears are sharp; they'll be upstairs listening soon!"

I reached out and embraced her. She pulled my hand to her soft breasts and pressed it there, motionless.

Afraid of making a sound, I gently kneaded the small cherry-like tip, not daring to move it much. She was holding something in her hand, motionless, only letting out soft moans.

Suddenly, I heard faint footsteps, so light they were almost inaudible. Damn, she really is a master of light-footed martial arts; she's practically on par with crossing a river on a single reed! I dared not be mischievous anymore, and my hand stopped its kneading motion. The person stopped outside our door, and just as Qing'er had said, a faint fragrance wafted towards us—the footsteps faded away. I admired Qing'er's cleverness and secretly pinched her pert little bottom. Unexpectedly, she reached behind her and groped to release my penis, then grasped it and gently played with it.

A silent night, a dangerous night. And another sensual night.

After a long while, the landlady knocked on the door in the corridor: "Sir, would you like some tea?"

She knocked on several doors in a row, and finally knocked on our door: "Girl, girl, I have some aphrodisiac here, why don't you take some? It'll make things much better during intercourse. If you don't try it, you'll feel better than a god!"

We held our breath and didn't make a sound. The landlady listened for a long time by the door before taking a deep breath and saying: "Damn it, no matter how cunning you are, you've drunk my foot bath water. Damn it, you have a husband but you won't deflower him. What kind of play is this? It's good that old bastard Delegen is lucky to get a taste!" With that, she stomped downstairs.

I admired Qing'er's courage and tightened my grip on her. She tightened her grip on my penis, making me shudder. She whispered, "How did you know I wasn't a virgin? Of course I could tell! At first, I thought both of you were young girls, but then you made them scream like pigs being slaughtered that night, and I realized you've been your wife for a long time!" I said, "Your eyesight is terrible. That Sister Ying is almost forty; how could you tell she's a young girl?"

She exclaimed in surprise, "Almost forty? Who are you trying to fool? Look at her face, her figure, her skin—where is there any..." "Not for little girls?"

I laughed. "That's what we train for! You'll become more and more beautiful as you train!"

She said happily, "Don't say 'in the future,' I'll train after I've dealt with these guys. I want to be as beautiful as the two older sisters. I won't seduce anyone else, I

'll just be mini! I'll make you unable to leave me all day! I want to be like the two older sisters, shouting until the sky darkens, that would be so much fun!" I pinched her butt again in anger. Just as she was about to shout, she suddenly whispered, "They're here, thirteen people!"

Damn, no wonder this little girl is the leader of a gang, her skills are indeed superhuman. She can even tell the number of so many people!

A moment later, someone came to open our door. We couldn't pull it open. Someone was trying to pry the door open with something. Qing'er's hand was already clenched.

"Those women are all in this room. They are all Master Delegen's treasures. Don't mess them up. No one should cheat on her. Just kill that man!" It was the landlady's voice.

"Old De is so unfair! He kept all three women for himself? He should have given us one to try!" someone said.

"Damn it, are you tired of living? If you don't shut up, you'll lose your head!" someone cursed, and the other person immediately fell silent. Suddenly, the door was pulled open, and a torchlight followed a group of people rushing in.

But before they could even step inside, they screamed and collapsed to the ground. Then Qing'er flipped and leaped out the door. Her hand trembled again, and the corridor echoed with screams, which vanished moments later.

Li Xianglin and his men, pistols in hand, jumped out. Qing'er waved her hand: "Go protect Wansui, someone's taking care of them outside!"

Sure enough, the sounds of battle were deafening outside. People were rushing up the stairs again. Qing'er's hand trembled again, and the sound of someone tumbling down the stairs echoed. Afraid she might fall, I quickly led my men upstairs.

There was hardly anyone left downstairs. Li Xianglin and his men searched for a long time and only managed to drag out an old, deaf, hunchbacked man from the kitchen. I was about to wave them away when the man suddenly grew taller and lunged at me! Just then, Qing'er unleashed several palm strikes at the man, who fell to the ground in mid-air. I looked down and saw that he had been struck in the eyes, throat, and heart by throwing knives, each deeply embedded in his flesh. Looking closer, I saw he was holding several throwing knives, their tips gleaming with a faint blue light!

I was startled: "Poisoned?" Qing'er glared at Li Xianglin and scolded, "Are you brainless? Why are you

dragging

this man here? You're supposed to be the head of the guards, how can you not even see through the enemy's disguise? You're incredibly stupid! You all stay inside and protect the Emperor, don't cause me any trouble!" Li Xianglin,

thoroughly convinced by the scolding, quickly agreed and directed his soldiers to escort me into the room upstairs.

I had just entered the house when a deafening explosion rang out outside. I rushed out to see what was happening, but Li Xianglin and the others held me back tightly. I was so worried that something might have happened to Qing'er!

The fighting outside continued until the east turned red, at which point it finally stopped. I went outside with the others and saw Qing'er standing there, looking into the distance. Besides pools of blood, there wasn't a soul on the ground, not even a single corpse.

I asked in surprise, "Where are they?"

Qing'er turned around, her face streaked with tears. Seeing it was me, she threw herself into my arms and began to sob.

I hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? My beloved concubine, you shouldn't be crying!"

Qing'er cried, "Why, why are the bad people so cruel? I've lost two good sisters! They've never even touched a man's hand! They were just young girls!"

I stroked her hair and comforted her, saying, "To do something for the people, you always have to pay a price! But this time, I've implicated them, and I will definitely make amends for them. I will never let their loyalty to the country and the people be in vain!" Then I asked, "How did they die?" "

It was that Delergen. I beat him so badly he couldn't fight back, so he detonated the explosives in his arms. The two sisters risked their lives to throw me away, but they themselves fell into a pool of blood. I should have been the one to die!" As she spoke, she sobbed again.

"Where are they? Are there any others injured? You should let me see them!" I asked anxiously.

“I’m afraid that if His Majesty shows himself here, it will attract more bloodshed. This time, that Prince of Bayannur came specifically for His Majesty. I really don’t know how they knew His Majesty’s identity! Besides that Delegen and his thirty-odd thugs, there are also two Japanese men here. They are both high-ranking samurai, and their methods are particularly strange. Several of my sisters were injured by them! In the end, it was our Goddess Blood-Coagulating Sword Technique that saved us. Otherwise, we would all be dead today! Because we killed all their men, I didn’t spare them. This was taken from those two Japanese men!” Qing’er handed me a stack of documents. I glanced through them and then handed them to Ying’er.

As Qing'er walked into the house, she said, "Our people just told us that ice dams have appeared in Linhe, and the local people are busy building them! Alas, from Linhe to Hequ, it's still all frozen over. The ice floes can't flow down or melt, they just keep piling up! If we don't take immediate action, the Linhe area will definitely have to be breached! The people there have only enjoyed two good years, and now it's going to be ruined again!"

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, I immediately said, "Let's go, let's set off immediately for Hequ and see what the situation is like there so we can take emergency measures! We absolutely cannot let the Yellow River flood, otherwise what use are we emperors and officials!"

That evening, we arrived at Hequ. Standing on the banks of the Yellow River, I saw that the river was half frozen and half full of water. I used my lightness skill to fly to the middle of the river and saw that the ice surface was already wet, and the ice shards had turned into standing shards. With just a little external force, they could scatter and create the momentum for the river to break open.

I gathered my strength and flew upwards again. Suddenly, I felt a current of air beside me, carrying a faint fragrance. I looked back and saw that Qing'er had also flown over. I saw her lightly touch the ice with her feet and fly forward swiftly. This little girl's lightness skill is no less than mine. No wonder she became the leader of a gang!

She flew to me and stretched out her hand from afar. I quickly grabbed her hand, hugged her in my arms, and we gently landed on the ice together.

She nestled into my arms, laughing, and said, "Your Majesty is truly skilled! General Li was jumping up and down in a panic, and I was afraid something might happen to my husband, so I chased after you. Actually, I was overthinking it! With Your Majesty's skills, let alone floating ice, crossing the river on the waves would be a piece of cake! Is this some kind of Xuanyuan technique, Your Majesty?"

I smiled and nodded, then tested the ice with my foot, saying, "We've only walked a few miles, and the ice here is already much stronger than there. It probably won't melt for half a day! Alas, this is the drawback of the Yellow River's '几' (ji) bend. The upper reaches of the other side of the bend are to the south, where the temperature is higher and the ice thaws earlier..." The horizontal stroke at the top of the character points north, where thawing is later, inevitably leading to ice dam formation. Your suggestion, because the thawing times are roughly the same along the same latitude, should largely prevent ice dam formation—it's a good idea, but unfortunately, it won't be used this year. From Hequ to Linhe is nearly a thousand miles. If we use blasting to break the ice, it's not a problem here, because the ice has already been eroded by the flowing water on both sides of the river and downstream, and the ice has changed from horizontal to vertical. With a little external force, it can be broken. Further north, it will be difficult; there, it's still icy and snowy, the ice hasn't been eroded by the flowing water, and the ice is still solidified. "It's very sturdy, I'm afraid it won't be easy to break!"

Qing'er thought for a moment and said, "Could we walk upstream from this end and blast as we go? Once we blast a section, the ice floes will flow downstream, and the water will soak the un-blasted areas, right? Once soaked, won't the ice shards turn into vertical shards? Won't they start to loosen?"

I nodded and said, "That makes sense. It seems this job isn't something just anyone can do. There's already water flowing along both banks, and it's very dangerous for people to drill holes in the ice floes. Mobilizing artillery to blast the ice is too costly, and besides, the Yellow River stretches for thousands of miles; it's not something a few artillery regiments can solve!"

Qing'er hugged my waist tightly and said, "Long live the Emperor! " "Let Qing'er handle this. His Majesty still needs to use artillery to blast open the large ice dam at Linhe. Leave this to us. Just make sure His Majesty prepares the explosives, fuses, steel bars, and sledgehammers, and takes care of our food, lodging, and gloves! But I'm afraid that Governor Wude'a will come looking for trouble again!"

I was taken aback. I knew Wude'a; he was Prince Chun Yixuan's brother-in-law. Several performance reviews had said he was good, but I didn't quite believe it because I always felt Prince Chun Yixuan's influence was involved. Now that Qing'er mentioned him, I couldn't help but ask, "What's he like?"

"I don't know why His Majesty sent him here. The people all call him 'Ugly Qingtian'!" Qing'er said.

I was surprised: "Oh, so he's very popular!"

"Your Majesty, did you understand? It means there's no justice! He sells official positions, disregards human life, and levies exorbitant taxes. He helps his precious son kidnap women everywhere. Because his son has taken a fancy to our little sister Wan'er, he's sent people to hunt us down, declaring us bandits and forcing us to hand over Wan'er. We've held out until now, and I'm afraid he'll interfere again when we blow up the ice floes!"

I thought for a moment and said, "Then it's best not to let your little sister get involved! Letting a bunch of girls do the drilling? That's hard work!"

Qing'er chuckled, "Don't make a fuss. We sisters are all hardworking girls; this is nothing! Besides..." "Their lightness skills are better than mine; they can fly around without getting into danger! If Your Majesty cares about them, you can arrange for them to eat and drink better!"

I kissed her: "It's not just about temporarily arranging their food and drink; it's about you all coming with me, just like you. You can't live this life of the martial world anymore! As for local security, I will have the local officials strengthen it. This is not your business, nor is it something you can handle!"

Qing'er was stunned: "We're all going?"

I nodded: "Yes, your sister Yan'er is going to Australia to establish her own empire. You all go, and I'll go when I have time, to build our Long family's eternal foundation there!"

Qing'er hugged me and started sobbing.

I hurriedly asked, "What? You don't want to go?"

Qing'er kissed me and said, "No, I always thought that our relationship was just a one-night stand. Once His Majesty left and returned to the capital, he would forget about this wild girl. I never expected that His Majesty would still think about Qing'er's future, and about the future of Qing'er and her sisters. On behalf of all the sisters, Qing'er thanks His Majesty! With His Majesty's words, all the sisters will do a better job and live up to His Majesty's kindness!"

A gust of river wind blew, and Qing'er shivered. I held her tightly in my arms, let out a long cry, and flew back the way we came. She nestled her head in my chest, hugged my waist tightly, and whispered, "Qing'er is lucky. I met Wan Sui on the banks of the Yellow River, and now I have someone to rely on for the rest of my life!" Then she started sobbing again! No wonder people say women are made of water, and they have so many tears! Even this heroic Yellow River heroine loves to cry; what about everyone else who's been soaked in water all their lives?

Back on the bank, a group of people saw us and cheered from afar. My two young wives were especially teary-eyed. Two more women who had given in to the flood—what a coincidence! But Consort Ying pulled me aside and whispered, "Among the materials Consort Qing gave you this morning, some are particularly important. Two of them are about the Bayannur Prince and the Japanese agreeing to establish the Bayannur Kingdom. The Japanese will provide the Bayannur Prince with guns and ammunition, and after the matter is settled, the Bayannur Prince will allow the Japanese to station troops in Bayannur!" She then handed me the documents. I looked at them, trembling with rage: "Damn it, the Japanese have never given up their desire to destroy us. We should really do as Wang Songwei said and make a decision about this wolf clan sooner!"

Upon entering Hequ, I had them stay at an inn. I then led Li Xianglin and the others to Shanyin County overnight. Just as we arrived outside the Shanyin County government office, Song Qing, the commander of the Shaanxi-Gansu Military Region, who had come specifically for this purpose, along with several regional governors, prefects, and magistrates, were kneeling there. I waved my hand and said, "Get up quickly, let's go into the main hall to talk!" Then I pulled Song Qing and walked towards the county government office.

After I sat down, I listened to their work reports, which included matters concerning the prevention of ice jams on the Yellow River, and the story of the Bayannur prince saying that his servants were killed by the Yellow River Goddess Gang.

After listening, I said, “My esteemed ministers have done much for the people of the Great Qing, and I am well aware of this! I will certainly reward you all! However, recently I have traveled to some places in Shaanxi, Gansu, and Inner Mongolia and observed the situation. I feel that there are two urgent matters: first, the matter of the Yellow River's spring floods, a matter of life and death concerning millions of people, which needs to be addressed immediately; second, the problem of bandits in various regions. It is a well-known fact that bandits emerge in chaotic times, but in recent years, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Inner Mongolia have not experienced war, and the people's lives have improved considerably.” However, the banditry has not diminished, which is worth discussing! I think there are several problems. First, our suppression efforts have been ineffective, and Commander Song bears undeniable responsibility for this! The various prefectures and counties also bear responsibility for their ineffective crackdown! Second, it is due to the leniency of local officials. Have you investigated the matter you just reported about the massacre of the Bayannur prince's retainers by the Yellow River Goddess Gang? What exactly happened?”

The Shaanxi governor, Wude'a, hurriedly replied, “I have already investigated. The Yellow River Goddess Gang has always been rampant in the countryside. Yesterday, they attacked families in Boluobao Town…” "The people were robbed, and the Prince of Bayannur's men happened to be passing by. They came to the rescue of the people, and the thieves, enraged, turned on the Prince's men and went on a killing spree, slaughtering them all. Now I am preparing to request Commander Song to send troops to suppress them!"

I nodded: "Oh, I see! Commander Song, are you aware of this matter?"

Song Qing shook his head and said: "I cannot agree with Wude'a's words. Firstly, the Yellow River Goddess Gang is definitely not a gang of robbers. As far as I know, they have done a great deal of work over the years to maintain local security and punish evildoers." "Firstly, it's a good thing, and it has an excellent reputation among the people; secondly, the so-called servants of that Bayannur prince are all thugs who run rampant in the countryside. I have mentioned this to Governor Wude'a many times, and I don't know why he would say such a thing. It's really strange! Thirdly, the Bayannur prince has come in and recruited a large number of bandits, spending huge sums of money to bribe local officials. He seems to have ulterior motives. I have already urged everyone to be on guard. I don't know where Governor Wude'a's words today come from!"

I was secretly pleased. This Song Qing was still quite clear-headed and hadn't fallen into the trap!

Ude'a blushed and immediately stood up, wanting to say something, but I waved him down, saying, "My dear minister, please don't say any more. I just came from there and know everything. Does anyone else have any opinions on this matter?"

A thin official stepped forward and said, "I am Li Chunmin, the prefect of Yulin. I disagree with Governor Ude'a's opinion. We were just arguing about this on the way here! I think the Prince of Bayannur has overstepped his bounds. He meddles in the affairs of Prince Ikezhao, and even interferes in the affairs of my several counties, and he even tries to influence my judgments! Not long ago, someone found the body of Zhang Dashan, the innkeeper of Jixianzhuang Inn in Boluobao Town, in the desert. There were obvious ligature marks on his throat. Our autopsy confirmed that he was strangled and dumped in the desert. However, he bribed me to recant his testimony, saying that he committed suicide due to thirst." "This is from choking. And our Governor Wude'a said that I accepted bribes and deliberately tried to frame someone! I haven't even found out who the murderer is yet, so how can I be framing anyone? Moreover, Governor Wude'a ordered the arrest of the Yellow River Goddess Gang members today and repeatedly reprimanded me for protecting the Yellow River Goddess Gang. I don't know what crime these patriotic and people-protecting weak women have committed! I have already written a memorial to resign as prefect and go home to farm. I can't bring myself to harm these righteous and awe-inspiring heroines!"

I said expressionlessly, and then asked, "Does anyone else have any opinions?"

A pot-bellied official stood up and said, "I am Shao De, the prefect of Hengshan. I disagree with Prefect Li's opinion. I have always suspected that Prefect Li may have some connection with that Yellow River Heroine!"

Li Chunmin was so angry that he stood up to say something, but I waved him down. I asked again, and no one in the hall said anything more. I took Song Qing's hand and stood up, saying to everyone, "I have something to discuss with Commander Song. Please wait a moment, my esteemed ministers!" Entering

the inner hall, I said, "On my way here, I was nearly killed by that Bayannur prince at the Jixian Manor Inn in Boluobao Town. Fortunately, the heroines of the Goddess Gang came to my aid, and I was spared. Now I need you to: first, immediately dispatch troops to surround and annihilate the Bayannur prince's mansion, ensuring no one escapes; second, immediately arrest the Shaanxi Governor Wude'a, the Hengshan Prefect Shao De, and their accomplices, and thoroughly investigate their crimes; third, immediately prepare a large quantity of explosives and other supplies, hand them over to the Yellow River Goddess Gang, and at the same time organize forces and arrange..." They will be provided with food and lodging, their safety will be ensured, and they will be helped to break the ice floes on the Yellow River to prevent flooding. Fourthly, I hereby issue an imperial edict appointing Li Chunmin, the prefect of Yulin, as the governor of Shaanxi.

Song Qing immediately replied, "Your subject obeys!"

Stepping out of the inner hall, I said, "I have gained much from this trip. I have been deeply moved by the reports from my ministers. Today, I entrust Commander Song to handle a few urgent matters on my behalf. As for other matters, I will remain in this area for several more days and will try my best to resolve as many problems as possible!"

With a wave of my hand, Song Qing immediately stood up: "Governor of Shaanxi, Wu De'a; Prefect of Hengshan, Shao De, listen to my decree!"

Governor Wu De'a and Prefect of Hengshan, Shao De, were startled and hurriedly knelt on the ground.

Song Qing said, "His Majesty's decree: The Shaanxi Governor Wu De'a and the Hengshan Prefect Shao De are incompetent, muddle-headed, and ignorant, distorting the truth, protecting traitors, and falsely accusing innocent people of theft. Immediately strip them of their official hats and plumes, imprison them, and send them to the Ministry of State Security for investigation!" With a wave of his hand, several guards seized the two men. They repeatedly cried out their innocence. I calmly said, "Regarding the case of the murder of the Bayannur Prince's family, I was present yesterday. They were there to assassinate me. I was fortunate to escape with the help of the Yellow River Goddess and her female warriors! You have distorted the truth to such an extent; shouldn't you be brought to justice? Furthermore, I already possess evidence that the Bayannur Prince colluded with the Japanese in a plot to betray the country. Is this also a false accusation? Take them away and immediately hand them over to the Ministry of State Security for a thorough investigation. Those who deserve to be killed should be killed, those who deserve to be arrested should be arrested. We cannot tolerate evil! We cannot keep such officials who harm the people alive!"

The guards dragged the two men away.

Song Qing then called out, "Prefect Li Chunmin of Yulin, receive the imperial decree!"

Prefect Li Chunmin hurriedly knelt to receive the order.

Song Qing said, "Prefect Li Chunmin of Yulin is known for his loyalty to the country, his love for the people, and his incorruptibility. Therefore, he is hereby appointed as the Governor of Shaanxi, to take office immediately! Upon assuming office, immediately allocate a large number of manpower to assist the Yellow River Goddess in blasting the ice on the Yellow River from Linhe to Hequ. All necessary supplies will be temporarily disbursed from your treasury after the Yellow River Goddess has provided a list, which will be distributed equally among various regions. Ensure that the Yellow River Goddess is provided with adequate food and lodging and that her safety is protected. This is the imperial decree."

Li Chunmin had not expected his confrontation with the governor to end like this. He hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty! Your subject will certainly assist the Goddess in completing this great task!"

I said calmly, "I have already taken Xu Fengqing, the leader of the Goddess Gang, as my concubine, and I have decided to take the entire Goddess Gang with me. This is the Goddess Gang's last contribution to their hometown. I hope the relevant county and prefectural governments will help them with practical work and not dampen their enthusiasm!"

The officials all nodded hastily upon hearing my words.

(Part Four: The Road to Revitalization, Chapter Five: Eight-Sided Prestige)

Li Chunmin was indeed decisive; on the third day, a row of tents was erected on the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and a large amount of supplies were transported.

Qing'er's companions arrived at dawn, more than three hundred people, the oldest around thirty, the youngest fifteen or sixteen, all riding small straw donkeys, wearing tight-fitting blue shirts and red cloaks, dressed exactly like Qing'er. However, they all carried a gun at their waists, some without guns, only carrying swords.

Looking at these beautiful, handsome, and heroic girls, my heart warmed. They were all in the prime of their lives, yet they were out wandering the martial world. Truly, environment shapes people!

Upon seeing me, the three hundred daughters knelt down in unison: "The Yellow River Goddess Gang pays homage to Your Majesty!"

I waved my hand and said, "Everyone, rise. I have already heard from my beloved concubine Qing'er about you. This time, I will take you all away from the Yellow River. I wonder what your thoughts are?"

The three hundred people shouted in unison, "We are willing to follow Your Majesty to the ends of the earth!"

I said, "Good. This time, blasting open the Yellow River ice dam is the last thing you will do for the Yellow River, a little something you will leave for the people of the Yellow River. From now on, you will fly far away from your hometown. I hope you will do this well and not let down the people of the Yellow River who have shown you such love!"

The three hundred people said in unison again, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will definitely complete the mission!"

As soon as I finished speaking, Qing'er went to the front to assign tasks. She divided the three hundred people into ten teams, and each team into fifteen groups, with two people in each group, one holding the chisel and the other hammering. She drew a five-petaled plum blossom pattern on the spot. She instructed everyone to drill a hole in the petals every fifteen steps, following the plum blossom design, and finally drill another hole in the center of the flower. She said, "This is called the Plum Blossom Chain Cannon. When lit all at once, it will detonate simultaneously at six points, which will break the ice! You are only responsible for drilling the holes and planting the explosives; I will do the lighting. Each group will be one plum blossom, with each plum blossom spaced one hundred steps apart from the center, arranged in a long line upstream. Xiao Feng will now teach you how to drill the holes! After the first group finishes, the group will move upstream to the tenth group and continue drilling, and so on."

After saying this, she stepped back to my side, and the girl named Xiao Feng taught everyone how to drill the holes and plant the explosives.

I asked worriedly, "This is a technical job, and also a dangerous one. Is it really enough to just teach them like this?"

Qing'er chuckled, "They've all done this before, but I can't let them down. I have to get them to behave properly again according to Feng'er's instructions, otherwise, with so many people, it'll be chaos!"

I was relieved.

About half an hour later, Feng'er came over and said, "Sister Qing, we've got everything in order. Is there anything else you want to say?"

Qing'er squeezed my hand and led Feng'er over. She said, "His Majesty takes pity on everyone's hardships here and wants to take you to a new world. There, together with His Majesty, we'll create a wonderful world, find everyone a good home, start a family, and live a life of harmony and abundance!"

The girls blushed at the mention of harmony, but their eyes shone brightly.

Qing'er continued, "We are daughters of the Yellow River, raised on its waters, nurtured by its people. To repay the Yellow River and its people for their nurturing grace, and to prevent floods from destroying our homes, His Majesty has given us this opportunity to serve our community. I hope you will not disgrace our Yellow River Goddess Gang, nor fail His Majesty's expectations! Alright, everyone, line up in your respective teams and groups, and follow me!" With that, she waved her hand, leaped up, and flew towards the center of the Yellow River.

Instantly, like clusters of flames, like patches of red clouds, they formed a long line, flying towards the river's center.

Li Chunmin clapped his hands and said, "Magnificent! Heroines of the Yellow River!"

Moments later, Qing'er landed in the river's center, and the girls lined up upstream, like a long red dragon rising from the river.

Qing'er didn't participate in the drilling; she soared into the sky, following the girls' line upstream, like a flying phoenix.

Li Chunmin looked at the several-meter-wide stretch of flowing water along the bank and said, "It's all thanks to these girls; ordinary people really couldn't do this job! Just this stretch of flowing water alone is enough to drive anyone crazy!"

I said, "Such a group of good girls, loyal to the country and devoted to the people, yet that Wude'a could say such things. I'm truly ashamed. Our methods for evaluating officials have too many flaws! Sending officials down for evaluation, a meal of fine wine, tens of thousands of taels of silver—the dead are brought back to life, and the living are made to believe they're dead. This Wude'a incident is a lesson! I will definitely investigate thoroughly when I get back and improve the evaluation of officials. We must never have an official like Wude'a again!"

Li Chunmin smiled and said, "The evaluation of officials should focus on their political achievements and the people's support. Political achievements should be judged by the changes in the local economic and social development! We shouldn't just listen to reports! We should look at the people's peaceful and prosperous lives!"

I nodded. I looked at the river; Qing'er had already flown back. The first team had begun to move upstream. It seemed Qing'er was about to light the cannon. I was worried about her, so I told Li Chunmin, "You two hurry and move the tents upstream. I'm going to check the situation there." With that, I soared into the sky, flying straight towards Qing'er.

Li Chunmin was so shocked he gaped, speechless.

I flew to Qing'er's location and saw her inspecting the blast holes and the installation of explosives. Seeing me approach, she hurriedly cried out, "Your Majesty, this work is dangerous! You must leave! Qing'er is here; Your Majesty doesn't need to risk your life!"

I smiled, "Since it's dangerous, I should be there even more. I can't let my beloved concubine put herself in danger!"

I then glanced at the blast holes, relying on the knowledge I had gained in that other world. "You can tell at a glance that the quality is good," I said happily. "They're all good, all up to standard. Come on, give me a stick of incense, let's light them together, husband and wife! That way it'll be faster!"

Qing'er hesitated, so I pulled her into my arms and said, "Trust me, I'm an expert in this, nothing will happen! Besides, seeing you risking your life alone like this makes me feel so bad! It's better for me to do some work! If there's any danger, we can take care of each other!"

Qing'er burst into tears, "Hooray! Qing'er is so lucky! Qing'er has someone who cares about her!"

I patted her little upturned corner. "Let's get to work! Didn't you see the first round is already finished?" she said.

She gave me a stick of incense, and after we lit it, she said, "You light those three firecracker holes, and I'll light the other three. Then we'll go together!"

I saluted, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

This made her chuckle. She glanced at me with her beautiful eyes, her face flushed, and she murmured, "I'm still just a figurehead as Your Majesty. I wonder when Your Majesty will grant me a real title!"

I hugged her and kissed her, "You wait, I will never betray you!" Then I ran towards the fuses.

We quickly lit the fuses and flew upstream hand in hand.

When we finished lighting the second set of fuses and flew towards the third set, the first set of plum blossom firecrackers had already gone off. I looked back and saw that the ice floes had exploded, and the river was covered with peach blossom ice.

We busied ourselves lighting the third set of fuses and flew forward again. As we flew, I said, "Look how careless you are! If I hadn't come, would you have been able to manage on your own? And you might have even been in danger! You really don't give me any peace of mind!"

She smiled and said, "I know His Majesty wouldn't want me to risk my life here. I just want to spend this happy moment with His Majesty!"

Because it was two people working, we blasted open two hundred miles of riverbed along the way, hand in hand. Later, when Qing'er was flying again, she simply rested her head on my shoulder, her arms tightly wrapped around my waist. She whispered, "I'm so happy! I have such a loving husband. Qing'er is content with her life!"

That day, we blasted open two hundred miles of riverbed. That evening, we gathered in our tent, eating white flour buns and drinking mutton soup. Li Chunmin exclaimed happily, "That's amazing! Two hundred miles in one day! At this rate, we'll be finished in four more days!"

I sighed, "I'm just afraid that things won't go as planned..." "It's so easy! The girls are exhausted. They ran two hundred li in one day, and they also had to drill holes and plant explosives. It's no easy feat!" After I finished eating, Qing'er and I went to check on everyone in the tents. Seeing that the girls, apart from being excited, didn't seem tired at all, I asked Qing'er curiously, "With such a lot of exercise, how come they aren't tired?" Qing'er

smiled and said, "The environment here is harsh. They're used to walking two or three hundred li a day. Plus, Governor Li's meals are quite good. One meal of fried dough sticks, two meals of steamed buns, and three meals of mutton soup. When have you ever eaten like this before?" "Good food! We sisters, despite our exceptional skills, still live on coarse grains and vegetables for half the year!"

My heart tightened, and I vowed, "Things will be better from now on. I will never let them suffer like that again!"

Qing'er smiled and said, "Qing'er believes it, and the sisters believe it too. Didn't Your Majesty see how excited we were today? They all said it was because of me, that Your Majesty cares for me and is afraid my sisters will suffer, so they benefited too!"

I said, "Not entirely. I am determined to build a peaceful and happy nation. I will not allow any gangs or factions to continue existing in the martial world. Look at that Baldy Yang; they bring harm to society and unrest to the masses. Since gangs have been banned, your Yellow River Goddess Gang certainly cannot continue to exist. What will happen to these children who have done so many good deeds for the people after you leave? My wife, Empress Yan, is going to build a large company where everyone is an employee, doing what they can, and receiving a monthly stipend. Everyone can have their own house, their own home, and have children, no longer living this nomadic life. I think that's the only way." "That's the place they deserve!"

Qing'er said worriedly, "If the gangs are all abolished, will there still be anyone to speak up for the poor?"

I said, "Then we'll rely on the government. That's why I arrested that Wude'a yesterday, and I've already sent Commander Song to lead troops to besiege the Bayannur Prince's Mansion. I want to build the Yellow River region, and even the whole country, into a peaceful and tranquil place where no one picks up lost items and doors are left unlocked at night, so that those bandits will no longer have any fertile ground to exist! At that time, the common people will be protected by the country's laws, and the bad guys will be dealt with by the country's police. Everything will depend on the country." !

Qing'er said longingly: "That'll be great!" I’m so looking forward to that day!

I kissed her and said, "You are too tired today. Go back and rest early. You are under too much pressure now. Let's sleep in the same room again when we return home to Weihai!"

She was stunned for a moment and said stubbornly: "No, I want to let Wanzai hug me to sleep. Wanzai is too tired to be with the two sisters. It's time to take a good rest for two days!"

I smiled and said, "Don't worry, they are already waiting for us in front. They haven't been here these days." I really want to hug my beloved wife and sleep together, but I feel like I really don’t have the determination to control myself from sleeping with Qing’er today! For tomorrow's task, in order not to consume our physical strength, you should stay with the sisters! Besides, with so many people coming to a new environment, they should be careful to avoid any accidents! You are still their gang leader, so you can't abandon them and pursue your own happiness, right?

She thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's up to you, but this matter is over, and I can't shirk it anymore!" "

This night, I am with We slept together, feet touching. I told him my ideas on harnessing the Yellow River, my opinions on eliminating bandits and strengthening social order, and my thoughts on starting with the people to enrich the nation and strengthen the country. I also talked about development and construction plans, including establishing industries, mines, and factories. He listened with great interest, got up, and said, "Your Majesty trusts me. I'll set up a pilot project here for Your Majesty, for three years. If it shows results in three years, Your Majesty can assign the next steps. If it doesn't show results in three years, Your Majesty can dismiss me from my post!"

I was so happy that I gave him three high fives on the spot.

On the second and third days, I still held Qing'er's hand and lit the cannons together. By the evening of the third day, we had blasted 240 li (approximately 120 kilometers) in one day. Not only was Li Chunmin happy, but I was also extremely excited. But Qing'er was worried. She whispered to me, "A message just arrived saying that the riverbed near Linhe is already at a low level, and there's a risk of it overflowing at any moment. They can hold out for another day tomorrow, but they won't be able to hold on the day after. We still have one day's work to do!"

Hearing this, I hurriedly took her to Li Chunmin and led a group of men on horseback to a nearby county.

As soon as we arrived, I immediately had them call Song Cheng.

Hearing that I was looking for him, Song Cheng answered the phone breathlessly, "Your Majesty, what's the situation? I heard from the people that Your Majesty is personally blasting the ice, and now there are only three hundred li left! It seems the people of the Yellow River are blessed, having Your Majesty personally blasting the ice for them!"

I said, "There's already a dangerous situation at Linhe, and time is running out. Tomorrow we'll blast another two hundred li. For the remaining one hundred li, you organize your artillery and start blasting simultaneously after we withdraw tomorrow. We must blast all the ice before the breach!"

Song Cheng immediately said, "Yes, I'll arrange it right away!" Also, tell His Majesty that Prince Bayannur has been captured, and he and Wude'a have been escorted to the capital with heavy troops! During the search of his home, we discovered evidence of collusion between him and many officials, including Wude'a and Shaode, as well as evidence of Bayannur's collusion with the Japanese. We also seized a lot of gold and silver, which has been sealed up and documented, and has now been sent to the Ministry of Public Security of the Yan Emperor!

I said happily, "Good, well done! Tomorrow we'll see how your artillery performs!"

Song Cheng said, "No problem. His Majesty has taken over eight or nine hundred li, and we'll take over a hundred..." "If we can't even take ten li, we'll be beheaded!"

That night we rushed back to the Yellow River. I stayed with Li Chunmin again, and we talked for half the night about governing the Yellow River region. I shared my development and construction experience from that world with him, which excited him greatly. He said happily, "Your Majesty is truly a divine being! I've long heard of Your Majesty's extraordinary martial prowess, but I never imagined you were even more powerful. I can assure Your Majesty that with Your Majesty's guidance, I will definitely find a way to develop and build up backward regions for Your Majesty and for the Qing Dynasty!"

The next morning, I saw my aunt... The women were already working in the river. I knew they were worried about the dangers of the river. My heart warmed, and I hurriedly flew into the middle of the river. I saw Qing'er preparing to light the cannon. I sternly said, "Xu Fengqing, do you know your crime?"

Hearing my harsh tone, Qing'er immediately knelt down. "Qing'er doesn't know! Qing'er begs Your Majesty to enlighten me!"

I said sternly, "This is a task that my beloved concubine and I share. How dare you abandon me and steal the credit? What is your punishment?"

Qing'er was stunned. Before she could react, I stepped forward, picked her up, and held her tightly in my arms.

Qing'er angrily pounded my back: "Your Majesty scared Qing'er to death! Your Majesty and Lord Li talked all night, and Qing'er couldn't bear to wake Your Majesty!"

I grunted: "You dared to eavesdrop on my conversation with Lord Li? Guards, drag her into bed and give her three hundred slaps on her little bottom!"

She grabbed my hand and pressed it against her pert bottom: "Your Majesty, hit her! Anyway, Qing'er is Your Majesty's woman, so hit her if you want! Yesterday, when I was checking the guards, I found that Your Majesty was still making noise, so I wanted to go over and persuade Your Majesty to rest early. But when I heard that Your Majesty was teaching Lord Li about the construction of the Yellow River region, I didn't dare to disturb you. I was also afraid that bad people would come and cause trouble, so I stood guard for you for half the night. Did I make a mistake?"

I said: "Of course you made a mistake. You should have rested, but you ruined your health and made me worry. Isn't that wrong?"

After saying that, we held hands and lit the fuses together. Before breakfast, we had actually covered forty miles.

By 3 PM, we had engaged Song Cheng's artillery. At Qing'er's command, all the girls leaped out of the river. Looking at Qing'er, I realized she truly had the makings of a commanding general!

Seeing that we had withdrawn, Song Cheng gave the order, and a thousand cannons opened fire simultaneously. Instantly, the earth shook, and smoke filled the air. Less than an hour later, a deafening roar shook the heavens and the ice floes on the river burst open, the water rushing downstream like a wild horse. The crowds watching on both banks erupted in thunderous cheers!

Seeing this moving scene, Qing'er nestled in my arms and cried, while her friends jumped and hugged each other, weeping!

I patted Qing'er's little bottom: "Assemble the team immediately and run to Xin'an Town. There are cars waiting for us there. Let's sleep on the train tonight!"

Qing'er was stunned: "Leaving already?"

I nodded: "Beijing needs to study the Yellow River transformation project immediately, and the British army in Australia is already at its breaking point!" Part

Four: The Road to Revitalization, Chapter Six: Deep Affection.

At ten o'clock at night, we boarded the train heading east. After settling the girls in, Qing'er and I went to the carriage prepared for us.

Although it was early spring, the carriage was warm because of the heating. As soon as I took off my coat, a young female attendant came over and said, "Your Majesty, hot water has been prepared for you in the carriage. Please take a hot bath with the Empress! Here are bath towels and pajamas for Your Majesty. Please change your clothes and leave them here. We'll wash them and they'll be dry by tomorrow morning! We're leaving now. If you need anything, please press the bell!"

I went to the bathroom and saw that the large bathtub was indeed filled with hot water. I touched it; it was just warm enough for a bath. I called out, "Qing'er, come in and take a bath with me!"

I called twice, but there was no response. Just as I was about to go out to look for her, I saw Qing'er walk in shyly, wearing a nightgown. Her full, high breasts made the nightgown bulge, and her beautiful, white legs were partially exposed. Her bare feet were only covered by a pair of silk slippers. She stretched out her delicate hands and handed me a nightgown: "You should change your clothes too. The clothes you wore while making ice these past few days are really dirty. Let them wash them!"

As I unbuttoned my clothes, I said, "Just leave them there for now. We'll wear them after we shower. You can take yours off too, and we'll shower together!"

Qing'er's face flushed red, but she still obediently untied the nightgown's belt and slowly pulled it down. My eyes immediately lit up: snow-white shoulders peeked out from under her red nightgown, followed by her full, high breasts with trembling, delicate pink nipples. Her slender waist, under the light, seemed to reveal the slightly pulsating ribs; her slightly upturned, snow-white buttocks were round and firm, the prominent mound of flesh like a steaming white bun, sparsely covered with tender pubic hair; a few dewdrops rolled on her pink, almost cracked, peach-like vulva; her fair, rounded legs were long and slender, her delicate, white feet small and beautiful. One exquisite work of art after another was slowly revealed before me.

What a beautiful figure of a young woman, without an ounce of excess fat, without the slightest flaw! I stood there, stunned, completely mesmerized.

"Your Majesty, you should take off your clothes too!" Qing'er's whisper brought me back to my senses. I hurriedly and clumsily started taking off my clothes. Qing'er exclaimed "Ah!" and stood there motionless for a while before saying, "Your Majesty's body is so strong! No wonder you were able to keep both of you, Long Yu, going at it for so long!" As she spoke, she came over and began to stroke my body from head to toe. Her

warm and gentle little hands touched my nipples, moved over my lower abdomen, and finally stopped at my genitals. "Your Majesty is so well-endowed! No wonder the two sisters screamed like that!"

After stroking me, Qing'er rolled up my clothes and took them outside. She turned back, locked the bathroom door, and with a soft moan, threw herself into my arms. After a gentle sigh, she said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, Qing'er is so looking forward to being your woman!" As she spoke, she lifted her leg and awkwardly pressed her lips to mine. I immediately took her little mouth into mine—a passionate, fiery kiss that was almost unbearable. In moments, I lost control. I bent down, grabbed Qing'er's pert bottom, and lifted her up, striding towards the bathtub. Qing'er whispered in my ear, "Qing'er is new to this, Your Majesty, be gentle!"

After several moments of frenzy and intense climax, we finally lay on the large bed draped with gauze curtains.

Qing'er rested her head on my arm, her little hands gently stroking my chest muscles, and murmured, "No wonder the two older sisters were moaning so loudly! Wansui is so amazing! Qing'er felt like she was about to faint every time. That feeling is indescribable, and I couldn't help but want to scream too! But I was afraid the flight attendants would hear, so I had to hold it in, and it was so uncomfortable! Next time Wansui rides the dragon, find Qing'er a quiet place so she can scream properly. That feeling will definitely be incredibly pleasurable!"

I smiled and patted her buttocks. The man said, "Wherever I go, there are people listening nearby. They're afraid something will happen to me, they don't trust me! Last time in Taikang, I encountered a murderer, and ever since then, they've been even more afraid to go far. So it's hard to find a place where no one can hear me! But my wives are used to it; they shout and yell as they please. The soldiers are used to it too; if they don't hear them shouting, they're worried! Go ahead and shout if you want, no one will laugh at you!"

Qing'er said shyly, "That's so embarrassing! How can Qing'er face anyone if I go out again?"

"What's there to be afraid of? Even Empress Yan and Empress Fei call out to you when they want to! They're still ministers in the court, still holding great power! Empress Yan said, 'What's there to be afraid of? I'll let them know that I'm still His Majesty's woman, a woman who understands romance and gentleness!' Those two sisters you saw are both rulers, and they call out to you when they want to, don't they?"

Qing'er reached out and pulled me close: "Your Majesty, let's do it again, let Qing'er try calling out, don't laugh at me!"

I leaned against Qing'er and whispered, "Should we wait a few years before having a child?"

Qing'er hurriedly said, "No, Qing'er wants Your Majesty's child now. Qing'er knows Your Majesty is busy and can't always be by Qing'er's side. Qing'er can't leave Your Majesty, but she has to, it's destined! From the day Qing'er met Your Majesty, her soul was taken away by him. Qing'er really can't leave Your Majesty. When Qing'er is by Your Majesty's side, she feels alive. When Qing'er can't see Your Majesty, her heart feels empty." "So desolate. For this love, this longing, Qing'er has made up her mind. Wansui will give Qing'er a child, so that Qing'er can carry Wansui's flesh and blood. Qing'er will feel that she and Wansui are together, and that will make her heart feel fulfilled!"

I sighed and said, "But you'll have to treat your jaundice soon. How will you manage with a child?"

Qing'er chuckled, "The child is in my belly. I don't have to worry about him eating or being cold. What's there to be afraid of? After he's born, I'll carry him on my back. I won't have to do any work myself. Your child won't suffer! Stop talking. Look, you're getting impatient. Come on!"

The carriage was suddenly filled with alluring passion, and Qing'er's loud moans rang out. When I woke up, the train had already entered Weihai. I put on my neatly ironed clothes, took Qing'er's arm, and got off the train. We were welcomed by Yan'er, Zhen'er, Yu'er, Min'er, Mei'er, Xin'er, Wulan, and Yekaterina and Min Ciying, who had arrived a few days earlier.

Since Weihaiwei is now the location of Longxiang Company, arriving here felt like coming home.

The more than 300 members of the Yellow River Goddess Gang were immediately welcomed by Liu Li's Navy SEALs led by Yu'er and Min'er's Dragon Soul Combat Team. Everyone hit it off immediately, hugging and chatting endlessly before happily returning to their barracks.

Now, after Yan'er recruited new soldiers and incorporated Cao Futian's 3,000 boxers, along with Yu'er's Navy SEALs, Min'er's Dragon Soul Combat Team, and Wulan's Dragon Army, she already had 6,200 men. With the arrival of another 300 fresh recruits, her army force reached 6,500 men. Mei'er and Xin'er's "Dragon Sea" naval force now numbered over 3,500, bringing the Dragon Army to over 10,000 men.

To prepare for the expedition, Yan'er intensified the soldiers' training and replenished their equipment. Now, each soldier has a replica of a Guo Erke scimitar, a Type 64 pistol, a Chinese AK assault rifle, a sword, and a bulletproof vest.

The Long Army now has twenty-three warships and eight torpedo boats. Among them, the seventeen captured British ships are all small vessels of about 2,000 tons, while the six large ships from the Weihai Shipyard are all battleships of more than 7,000 tons. Each warship is not only equipped with large-caliber automatic cannons, but also with multiple rocket launchers and torpedo launchers, and also has a platform that can accommodate three armed helicopters.

I laughed and said, "The planes aren't here yet, but we've already reserved the space!"

Yan'er punched me lightly, "Who said we haven't? Bureaucracy! Mei'er is training them at Weihai Airport right now, they're about to set off, how can we not have the planes ready? How about it, come with us on this mission? I'm here to help your Long family's descendants conquer the world, if you don't come along, I won't be so enthusiastic!"

I pulled her into my arms and laughed, "Then you'll have to wait a few days for me. There's the Yellow River management issue, the anti-bandit and anti-local tyrant issues in various places, the development of the new district, the Northeast industrial..." "The construction of the industrial base and the development of the Qiuming oil field both need to be decided. It'll probably take another ten days!"

Yan'er said happily. "Okay, I'll wait for you for ten days. If you don't make a sound after ten days, I'll have our SEALs steal you and carry you to a warship! What, give me that little girl too!"

I knew she was referring to Qing'er. I shook my head. "She has to stay and participate in the Yellow River management! By the way, I can't give you all her sisters. Let her choose twenty capable ones to work with her on the Yellow River management. Once the Yellow River is managed..." She also has to withdraw to your place. By then we will only have Longxiang Company left on the mainland, and leave the rest to the state!

Yan'er said: "The little guy can't even walk. You went crazy yesterday and went a little too hard!"

I laughed: "Which of you sisters didn't act like this the first day? How different are you? Even though you are crazy, you still have the strength to chase and beat your husband all over the world. He almost drowned me!"

Yan'er blushed, stretched out her hand and pinched me: "You deserve it, who made you go to the wrong bed!" After saying that, he leaned over, rested his head on my shoulder, and murmured: "To this day, when I think about what happened at that time, it still feels like a dream!" It seems that Yan'er was right to sleep there that day, otherwise she wouldn't have met Brother Long! "

I held her tightly in my arms and said affectionately: "I asked you to take them to Australia this time, which made you tired! You'd better wait for me, I'll go there and have a look, and I'll help you lay a good foundation there! "

Yan'er said: "I understand, it was the Japanese who supported the Indonesians to do this, and the British knew how to plunder and enjoy it there. There were not many troops, and the British knew that the place was already being given to us. , didn’t have much energy to fight, so they had the upper hand. I haven't given Prince Charlie to them yet. I've agreed to deal with him in Canberra City, so I'm forcing him to hold that place for us! "

I said happily: "Okay, as long as we stop at a point, we can push forward! "

Yan'er said: "No, I'm not in a hurry to get Canberra. I want to raid Indonesia's home base first and bring all of Indonesia over. It's not that I'm greedy. There is also a wolf tribe there. If we don't deal with them quickly, we won't be honest in Australia. There are many islands there, most of which are unmanaged. We have to take them over quickly to prevent other big countries from intervening, so as not to leave trouble in the future! "

I nodded: "Especially Hawaii, we must not let the United States succeed, we must get it resolutely, and we must not leave a springboard for the United States to invade other countries in the sea! Is it too difficult to control Oceania?

Yan'er kissed me: "No matter how hard it is, you have to do it. Who made me your first wife?" You have to make some contribution to the Long family! "

Qing'er heard what Yan'er said and immediately said "

Eldest sister is going to a new place to start a new life, it must be quite difficult. These girls of mine have all been through a lot, so let's take them all with us. Once things settle down, we'll help them all get married, then it won't be a waste of my time raising them!" Yan'er said, "They're all my sisters, of course I'll take good care of them. We now have nine thousand boys and one thousand girls, is it really a problem for them to get married? You should leave some people behind, the task of controlling the yellow plague isn't easy either, you need to have some people you can handle!"

Qing'er smiled, "There are three hundred and eight of them in total, since you say so, sister..." " I'll keep those eight little ones. They're only fourteen, still quite young, and it'll be good for them to train with me for another two years! Then I'll call them all back, and they'll come with me to accompany His Majesty back to Beijing tomorrow!"

Yan'er said, "You won't be able to leave tomorrow. Premier Li wants to save some money, so he brought all the State Councilors who are attending the meeting here. He said it's so that everyone can enjoy the scenery of Longxiang Group, and also so that Longxiang Group can have an opportunity to entertain the government officials."

I laughed. This Li Hongzhang, he's not here for a meeting at all; he's just here to see what's going on here and probe my situation. I told Yan'er, "You've sealed off the entire naval port area. Don't let anyone pass through. The soldiers aren't allowed to leave the camp for the next few days until we set sail. Don't let anyone know our movements! Including that old fox!"

Yan'er chuckled, "Are you afraid he'll cause trouble too?"

I said, "He's already submitted two resignation requests to me, and even recommended Kang Youwei. I don't know what he was thinking! That Kang Youwei is a typical hypocrite, a complete idiot. He comes here with some utterly ignorant book called 'A Study of the Forged Classics of the New Learning' and demands an official position. I saw his stuff in my past life—a bunch of rubbish and utterly useless! I've already decided that Qing'er needs someone to govern Huang, so I'll send him down to the lower ranks." " A minor official, if he does well, we'll promote him; if he doesn't, he'll be dismissed on the spot and never used again!"

Yan'er said, "But we really need to consider the position of Premier. The Premier and Vice Premiers are both getting on in years, we should consider having two young men mentor them. I think Tan Sitong is a good candidate. His Majesty

has mentored him for the past few years, and he's made considerable progress; he's no longer just a dreamer!" I nodded and said, "This man is usable. Tell him to come over. Appoint him as Vice Premier to handle the day-to-day operations and learn from the old man for a couple of years!"

Yan'er said, "As soon as Qing'er and her group of female soldiers arrived, the female soldiers' camp became lively. Those officers are always running there, which has made Min'er angry several times! We officers are all getting on in years; we need to find partners!" "

Hearing Yan'er's words, I really felt the gender ratio was unbalanced, so I said to Zhen'er, 'There's nothing we can do about the lack of female soldiers in the army. You, as the logistics personnel, should bring more women, so our soldiers don't have trouble finding wives!'

Zhen'er chuckled, 'Don't worry, Yan'er has already sworn that if we take over Indonesia, we'll castrate all the married women and take all the unmarried women, no matter how old, to Australia. Those who are old enough will become wives for our soldiers, and those who aren't will go to school and become wives for the soldiers when they grow up. We'll make all the Indonesians Chinese, so they won't be so prone to anti-China sentiment every now and then!'

I laughed so hard I couldn't straighten up, 'You mean what Yan'er said?' " "The truth? That was just her angry outburst. How could you possibly handle so many people? It's fine to find some young girls to marry the soldiers, that would solve the problem of having heirs, but we absolutely cannot let anyone come to Australia. We must be very strict with vetting them, and those who aren't suitable should be sent to Indonesia!"

Another night of passion ensued. Even Fei'er, Xue'er, Shu'er, and Wen'er, who had just arrived from Beijing—all fourteen wives—were given a taste of. Then we held a family meeting and decided to leave Fei'er, Xue'er, Shu'er, and Qing'er in Beijing, while the remaining ten wives and all the children would go to Australia. We'd also take the equipment for building factories, establishing a science academy, and opening mines with us, so that the country could develop rapidly!

On April 15th, the Imperial Conference was held at the Huawai Palace in Weihai. The four-day conference discussed a series of issues related to development and construction, and formulated specific implementation plans. The conference removed Tan Sitong from his post as Commander of the East China Sea Fleet and appointed him as Vice Premier of the State Council of the Qing Dynasty, succeeding Wang Songwei, to be responsible for day-to-day operations; removed Lin Yan from his post as Minister of Public Security and appointed Bai Xue as Minister of Public Security, a first-rank official; removed Lin Yan from his post as President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Wei Liangwen as Vice President, and appointed Huang Fei as President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences; appointed Park Chun-sook as Chief of the General Staff of the Qing Army, a first-rank official; clarified that any troop movement must be authorized by the General Staff; appointed Xu Fengqing as Deputy Director of the Yellow River Management Committee, a second-rank official. A government office was established in Luoyang, Henan, and Kang Youwei was appointed as a fifth-rank official of the Yellow River Management Committee.

After the conference, I took Li Hongzhang's hand and toured most of Weihai, but did not lead him into the naval port. I said to him, "I know you're very tired right now, so I've assigned Tan Sitong to you. Let him handle most of the general affairs, and you just need to make decisions! Once you've trained him well, I'll let you retire, and I'll let you and your mother go to a good place to recuperate!"

Li Hongzhang laughed, "Is it the place the Empress Dowager went to? Lan'er said you're now extending your reach southwards!"

I laughed heartily, "You're absolutely right, the Annam (Vietnam) and Burma issues should have been resolved long ago! But right now, I still want to focus on development; we need a foundation for fighting, we can't keep putting Premier Li in a difficult position!"

Li Hongzhang laughed heartily, and after a while, he said, "Xianzhuang (Liu Kunyi's courtesy name) asked me to tell Your Majesty that he wants to come to Weihai to see his daughter, please grant him permission!"

I was taken aback, "Oh, how come his daughter is here?"

Part Four: The Road to Revitalization, Chapter Six: Deep Affection.

At ten o'clock at night, we boarded the train heading east. After settling the girls in, Qing'er and I went to the carriage prepared for us.

Although it was early spring, the carriage was warm because of the heating. As soon as I took off my coat, a young female attendant came over and said, "Your Majesty, hot water has been prepared for you in the carriage. Please take a hot bath with the Empress! Here are bath towels and pajamas for Your Majesty. Please change your clothes and leave them here. We'll wash them and they'll be dry by tomorrow morning! We're leaving now. If you need anything, please press the bell!"

I went to the bathroom and saw that the large bathtub was indeed filled with hot water. I touched it; it was just warm enough for a bath. I called out, "Qing'er, come in and take a bath with me!"

I called twice, but there was no response. Just as I was about to go out to look for her, I saw Qing'er walk in shyly, wearing a nightgown. Her full, high breasts made the nightgown bulge, and her beautiful, white legs were partially exposed. Her bare feet were only covered by a pair of silk slippers. She stretched out her delicate hands and handed me a nightgown: "You should change your clothes too. The clothes you wore while making ice these past few days are really dirty. Let them wash them!"

As I unbuttoned my clothes, I said, "Just leave them there for now. We'll wear them after we shower. You can take yours off too, and we'll shower together!"

Qing'er's face flushed red, but she still obediently untied the nightgown's belt and slowly pulled it down. My eyes immediately lit up: snow-white shoulders peeked out from under her red nightgown, followed by her full, high breasts with trembling, delicate pink nipples. Her slender waist, under the light, seemed to reveal the slightly pulsating ribs; her slightly upturned, snow-white buttocks were round and firm, the prominent mound of flesh like a steaming white bun, sparsely covered with tender pubic hair; a few dewdrops rolled on her pink, almost cracked, peach-like vulva; her fair, rounded legs were long and slender, her delicate, white feet small and beautiful. One exquisite work of art after another was slowly revealed before me.

What a beautiful figure of a young woman, without an ounce of excess fat, without the slightest flaw! I stood there, stunned, completely mesmerized.

"Your Majesty, you should take off your clothes too!" Qing'er's whisper brought me back to my senses. I hurriedly and clumsily started taking off my clothes. Qing'er exclaimed "Ah!" and stood there motionless for a while before saying, "Your Majesty's body is so strong! No wonder you were able to keep both of you, Long Yu, going at it for so long!" As she spoke, she came over and began to stroke my body from head to toe. Her

warm and gentle little hands touched my nipples, moved over my lower abdomen, and finally stopped at my genitals. "Your Majesty is so well-endowed! No wonder the two sisters screamed like that!"

After stroking me, Qing'er rolled up my clothes and took them outside. She turned back, locked the bathroom door, and with a soft moan, threw herself into my arms. After a gentle sigh, she said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, Qing'er is so looking forward to being your woman!" As she spoke, she lifted her leg and awkwardly pressed her lips to mine. I immediately took her little mouth into mine—a passionate, fiery kiss that was almost unbearable. In moments, I lost control. I bent down, grabbed Qing'er's pert bottom, and lifted her up, striding towards the bathtub. Qing'er whispered in my ear, "Qing'er is new to this, Your Majesty, be gentle!"

After several moments of frenzy and intense climax, we finally lay on the large bed draped with gauze curtains.

Qing'er rested her head on my arm, her little hands gently stroking my chest muscles, and murmured, "No wonder the two older sisters were moaning so loudly! Wansui is so amazing! Qing'er felt like she was about to faint every time. That feeling is indescribable, and I couldn't help but want to scream too! But I was afraid the flight attendants would hear, so I had to hold it in, and it was so uncomfortable! Next time Wansui rides the dragon, find Qing'er a quiet place so she can scream properly. That feeling will definitely be incredibly pleasurable!"

I smiled and patted her buttocks. The man said, "Wherever I go, there are people listening nearby. They're afraid something will happen to me, they don't trust me! Last time in Taikang, I encountered a murderer, and ever since then, they've been even more afraid to go far. So it's hard to find a place where no one can hear me! But my wives are used to it; they shout and yell as they please. The soldiers are used to it too; if they don't hear them shouting, they're worried! Go ahead and shout if you want, no one will laugh at you!"

Qing'er said shyly, "That's so embarrassing! How can Qing'er face anyone if I go out again?"

"What's there to be afraid of? Even Empress Yan and Empress Fei call out to you when they want to! They're still ministers in the court, still holding great power! Empress Yan said, 'What's there to be afraid of? I'll let them know that I'm still His Majesty's woman, a woman who understands romance and gentleness!' Those two sisters you saw are both rulers, and they call out to you when they want to, don't they?"

Qing'er reached out and pulled me close: "Your Majesty, let's do it again, let Qing'er try calling out, don't laugh at me!"

I leaned against Qing'er and whispered, "Should we wait a few years before having a child?"

Qing'er hurriedly said, "No, Qing'er wants Your Majesty's child now. Qing'er knows Your Majesty is busy and can't always be by Qing'er's side. Qing'er can't leave Your Majesty, but she has to, it's destined! From the day Qing'er met Your Majesty, her soul was taken away by him. Qing'er really can't leave Your Majesty. When Qing'er is by Your Majesty's side, she feels alive. When Qing'er can't see Your Majesty, her heart feels empty." "So desolate. For this love, this longing, Qing'er has made up her mind. Wansui will give Qing'er a child, so that Qing'er can carry Wansui's flesh and blood. Qing'er will feel that she and Wansui are together, and that will make her heart feel fulfilled!"

I sighed and said, "But you'll have to treat your jaundice soon. How will you manage with a child?"

Qing'er chuckled, "The child is in my belly. I don't have to worry about him eating or being cold. What's there to be afraid of? After he's born, I'll carry him on my back. I won't have to do any work myself. Your child won't suffer! Stop talking. Look, you're getting impatient. Come on!"

The carriage was suddenly filled with alluring passion, and Qing'er's loud moans rang out. When I woke up, the train had already entered Weihai. I put on my neatly ironed clothes, took Qing'er's arm, and got off the train. We were welcomed by Yan'er, Zhen'er, Yu'er, Min'er, Mei'er, Xin'er, Wulan, and Yekaterina and Min Ciying, who had arrived a few days earlier.

Since Weihaiwei is now the location of Longxiang Company, arriving here feels like coming home.

The more than 300 soldiers of the Yellow River Goddess Gang were immediately welcomed away by the soldiers of Yu'er's SEAL Team and Min'er's Dragon Soul Combat Team, led by Liu Li. They hit it off immediately, hugging and chatting endlessly before happily returning to their barracks.

Now, after Yan'er recruited new soldiers and incorporated Cao Futian's 3,000 boxers, along with Yu'er's SEAL Team, Min'er's Dragon Soul Combat Team, and Wulan's Dragon Army, her army numbered 6,200. With the arrival of another 300 fresh recruits, her land forces reached 6,500. Mei'er and Xin'er's "Dragon Sea" naval force now numbered over 3,500, bringing the Dragon Army to over 10,000.

To prepare for the expedition, Yan'er intensified the soldiers' training and replenished their equipment. Each soldier now possessed a replica of a Guo Erke curved knife, a Type 64 pistol, a Chinese AK assault rifle, a sword, and a bulletproof vest.

The Long Army now has twenty-three warships and eight torpedo boats. The seventeen captured British ships are all small vessels of around 2000 tons, while the six large ships from the Weihai Shipyard are battleships of over 7000 tons. Each warship is equipped with large-caliber automatic cannons, multiple rocket launchers, and torpedo launchers, and also has a platform capable of accommodating three armed helicopters.

I laughed and said, "We don't have the planes yet, but we've already reserved space!"

Yan'er punched me: "Who said we don't? Bureaucracy! Mei'er is training them at Weihai Airport now, they're about to go on the expedition, how can we not have the planes ready? How about it, come with us on the expedition? I'm fighting for the Long family's descendants, if you don't come, I won't be so enthusiastic!"

I pulled her into my arms and laughed, "Then you'll have to wait a few days. There are issues with the Yellow River management, the suppression of bandits and local tyrants, the development of the new district, and the Northeast industrial... " "The construction of the industrial base and the development of the Qiuming oil field both need to be decided. It'll probably take another ten days!"

Yan'er said happily. "Okay, I'll wait for you for ten days. If you don't make a sound after ten days, I'll have our SEALs steal you and carry you to a warship! What, give me that little girl too!"

I knew she was referring to Qing'er. I shook my head. "She has to stay and participate in the Yellow River management! By the way, I can't give you all her sisters. Let her choose twenty capable ones to work with her on the Yellow River management. Once the Yellow River is managed..." She also has to withdraw to your place. By then we will only have Longxiang Company left on the mainland, and leave the rest to the state!

Yan'er said: "The little guy can't even walk. You went crazy yesterday and went a little too hard!"

I laughed: "Which of you sisters didn't act like this the first day? How different are you? Even though you are crazy, you still have the strength to chase and beat your husband all over the world. He almost drowned me!"

Yan'er blushed, stretched out her hand and pinched me: "You deserve it, who made you go to the wrong bed!" After saying that, he leaned over, rested his head on my shoulder, and murmured: "To this day, when I think about what happened at that time, it still feels like a dream!" It seems that Yan'er was right to sleep there that day, otherwise she wouldn't have met Brother Long! "

I held her tightly in my arms and said affectionately: "I asked you to take them to Australia this time, which made you tired! You'd better wait for me, I'll go there and have a look, and I'll help you lay a good foundation there! "

Yan'er said: "I understand, it was the Japanese who supported the Indonesians to do this, and the British knew how to plunder and enjoy it there. There were not many troops, and the British knew that the place was already being given to us. , didn’t have much energy to fight, so they had the upper hand.

If we don't deal with them quickly, we won't be honest in Australia. There are many islands there, most of which are unmanaged. We have to take them over quickly to prevent other big countries from intervening, so as not to leave trouble in the future! "

I nodded: "Especially Hawaii, we must not let the United States succeed, we must get it resolutely, and we must not leave a springboard for the United States to invade other countries in the sea! Is it too difficult to control Oceania?

Yan'er kissed me: "No matter how hard it is, you have to do it. Who made me your first wife?" You have to make some contribution to the Long family! "

Qing'er heard what Yan'er said and immediately said "

Eldest sister is going to a new place to start a new life, it must be quite difficult. These girls of mine have all been through a lot, so let's take them all with us. Once things settle down, we'll help them all get married, then it won't be a waste of my time raising them!" Yan'er said, "They're all my sisters, of course I'll take good care of them. We now have nine thousand boys and one thousand girls, is it really a problem for them to get married? You should leave some people behind, the task of controlling the yellow plague isn't easy either, you need to have some people you can handle!"

Qing'er smiled, "There are three hundred and eight of them in total, since you say so, sister..." " I'll keep those eight little ones. They're only fourteen, still quite young, and it'll be good for them to train with me for another two years! Then I'll call them all back, and they'll come with me to accompany His Majesty back to Beijing tomorrow!"

Yan'er said, "You won't be able to leave tomorrow. Premier Li wants to save some money, so he brought all the State Councilors who are attending the meeting here. He said it's so that everyone can enjoy the scenery of Longxiang Group, and also so that Longxiang Group can have an opportunity to entertain the government officials."

I laughed. This Li Hongzhang, he's not here for a meeting at all; he's just here to see what's going on here and probe my situation. I told Yan'er, "You've sealed off the entire naval port area. Don't let anyone pass through. The soldiers aren't allowed to leave the camp for the next few days until we set sail. Don't let anyone know our movements! Including that old fox!"

Yan'er chuckled, "Are you afraid he'll cause trouble too?"

I said, "He's already submitted two resignation requests to me, and even recommended Kang Youwei. I don't know what he was thinking! That Kang Youwei is a typical hypocrite, a complete idiot. He comes here with some worthless book called 'A Study of the Forged Classics of the New Learning' and wants an official position. I saw that stuff in my past life." "Utter clichés, completely useless! I've already decided. Qing'er needs people to manage the situation, so I'll send him to a lower-level position. If he does well, I'll promote him; if he doesn't, I'll dismiss him on the spot and never use him again!"

Yan'er said, "But we really need to consider the position of Premier. The Premier and Vice Premiers are both getting on in years; we should consider mentoring two younger men. I think Tan Sitong is a good candidate. His Majesty has mentored him for the past few years, and he's made considerable progress; he's no longer just a dreamer!"

I nodded and said, "This man is usable. Tell him to come over. Appoint him as Vice Premier to handle the day-to-day operations and let him learn from the old man for a couple of years!"

Yan'er said, "Qing'er, what about..." The arrival of the female soldiers immediately enlivened the women's battalion. The officers were always running there, which made Min'er lose her temper several times! "We officers are all getting on in years; we need to find partners!"

Hearing Yan'er's words, I really felt the gender imbalance and said to Zhen'er, "There's nothing we can do about the lack of female soldiers in the army. You, as the logistics personnel, should bring more women along, so our soldiers don't have trouble finding wives!"

Zhen'er chuckled, "Don't worry, Yan'er has already sworn that if we conquer Indonesia, we'll kill all the married women and kill all the unmarried women..." "No matter their age, bring them all to Australia. Those who are old enough can become wives for our soldiers, and those who aren't can go to school and become wives for the soldiers when they grow up. Let the Indonesians all become of Chinese descent, so they won't be so prone to anti-China sentiment every other day!"

I laughed so hard I couldn't straighten up. "You think Empress Yan is telling the truth? That was just her saying it in anger. Can you handle so many people? But taking some young girls to be wives for the soldiers is fine, it can solve the problem of having heirs. But we absolutely cannot let anyone come to Australia. We must strictly control the process and send those who are not suitable back to Indonesia!"

Another night of passion ensued. Even Fei'er, Xue'er, Shu'er, and Wen'er, who had just arrived from Beijing—all fourteen wives—were given a taste of my pleasure. Afterwards, a family meeting was held, deciding that Fei'er, Xue'er, Shu'er, and Qing'er would remain in Beijing, while the remaining ten wives and all the children would go to Australia. We would also take the equipment for building factories, establishing a science academy, and opening mines with us, so that the country could develop rapidly!

On April 15th, a royal conference was held at the Weihai Huawai Palace. The four-day meeting studied a series of issues related to development and construction, and formulated specific implementation plans. The meeting removed Tan Sitong from his post as commander of the East China Sea Fleet and appointed him as Vice Premier of the State Council of the Qing Dynasty, succeeding Wang Songwei, to be responsible for day-to-day operations; removed Lin Yan from his post as Minister of Public Security and appointed Bai Xue as Minister of Public Security, a first-rank official; removed Lin Yan from his post as President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Wei Liangwen as Vice President, and appointed Huang Fei as President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences; appointed Park Chun-sook as Chief of the General Staff of the Qing Army, a first-rank official; clarified that any troop movement must be authorized by an order from the General Staff; and appointed Xu Fengqing as Deputy Director of the Yellow River Management Committee, a second-rank official. A government office was established in Luoyang, Henan, and Kang Youwei was appointed as a fifth-rank official of the Yellow River Management Committee.

After the meeting, I took Li Hongzhang by the hand and toured most of Weihai, but did not lead him into the naval port. I said to him, "I know you're very tired right now, so I've assigned Tan Sitong to you. Let him handle most of the general affairs; you just need to make decisions! Once you've trained him well, I'll let you retire, and I'll send you and your mother to a nice place to recuperate!"

Li Hongzhang laughed, "Is it the place the Empress Dowager went to? Lan'er said you're now trying to extend your reach south!"

I laughed heartily, "You're absolutely right. The Annam (Vietnam) and Burma issues should have been resolved long ago! But right now, I still want to focus on development; we need a foundation for fighting wars. We can't keep putting Premier Li in a difficult position!"

Li Hongzhang laughed heartily, and after a while, he said, "Xianzhuang (Liu Kun)..." "(The character '一') asked me to tell His Majesty that he wants to come to Weihai to see his daughter. Please grant His Majesty's permission!"

I was taken aback: "Oh, how come his daughter is here?"

Part Four: The Road to Revitalization, Chapter Seven: The White-Clad Heroine.

Li Hongzhang smiled: "Your Majesty, you really have a bad memory. Didn't I report to you before that Consort Zhen rescued a woman who had been abducted by the British army in Nanjing? She is Liu Li, the disciple of Li Yueniang, the legendary physician of the Nanjing Commoners' Pharmacy. She is now working under Consort Yu. She is the daughter of Xianzhuang!"

I knew Li Yueniang. She had treated Empress Dowager Cixi. When a great plague broke out in Zhuozhou, it was she and three disciples who stopped it. She was a living saint praised by the world. But I had never heard of Liu Li. Since she is Liu Kunyi's daughter, then let him come and see his daughter. She has gone thousands of miles away. I don't know if we will have another chance to meet. This is only human nature and should be understood! I chuckled and said, "I really forgot. Then have him come. A daughter's expedition is a long journey; parents should see her off!"

Li Hongzhang looked at me mysteriously and smiled, "Keep it a secret, keep it a secret! The Empress is still going on her expedition, isn't she?"

I was taken aback, "Damn it, this old man managed to get the information out of me!" But I still retorted, "It's not that far. She and Consort Zhen are going south to oversee the company's affairs. They plan to take the little one there to broaden her horizons and open a few companies in Guangzhou. If they don't make some money, who will lend a hand when Premier Li faces difficulties?"

Li Hongzhang said, "Your Majesty, please don't lie to me. I have no other intentions, I only ask that Your Majesty not abandon me!"

I laughed heartily, "This... " " Don't worry about it. I won't go anywhere until the Qing Dynasty has returned to its peaceful and prosperous state. If that day ever comes, no one else will ask, but I will leave behind my Empress Dowager and all her relatives!"

Li Hongzhang said repeatedly, "That's good. The Qing Dynasty has just begun its journey, and it's still a long and arduous road. We, the emperor and his ministers, must work even harder!"

I sincerely held his hand and said, "That's why I can't let you back down! These past few years, I've been busy with military campaigns and rarely involved in government affairs, leaving everything to my uncle. I've been uneasy about this. Now that we may have a few years of peace, I'll work with my uncle to focus on the economy and improve the conduct of officials! By the way, I've brought the Shaanxi Governor Wu De'a and the Hengshan Circuit Intendant Shao De back to Beijing. When you get back, please look into it and make sure these opportunists are severely punished." "The common people, and those wicked villains who collude with bandits to plot rebellion!"

Li Hongzhang sighed. "Weng Tonghe is His Majesty's teacher, and I dare not say more, but he is really incapable of handling the current Ministry of Personnel. I agree with His Majesty's suggestion to establish a separate Organization Department, to be concurrently managed by Tan Sitong, to re-establish rules and regulations, and to include the evaluation of officials in the Organization Department's important agenda. This would be much better!"

I nodded. "Let's do as Uncle Li says. You can make the arrangements, and I'll add it when I issue the edict. But you must have a good talk with Tan Sitong, and don't let him mess things up! The officials in the Organization Department should be re-selected and appointed, better to have fewer but better ones! Also, I'm leaving Beijing for a while and want to go south to see things again, so you'll have to take on more responsibility at home! The Qingfei's establishment of government offices and the selection of officials will be allocated to..." " The funding and the start of the work will require the Premier's help. Consort Shu is alright, so we can ask her for more assistance. Once she's on the right track, everything will be fine!"

Li Hongzhang smiled and said, "I dare not say more. First, I hope Your Majesty takes good care of yourself, and second, I hope Your Majesty returns soon! Don't worry about the work at home, I will handle it well! As for Consort Qing's situation, I can have Vice Premier Wang help take care of it. Your Majesty can rest assured!"

We saw Fei'er, Xue'er, Shu'er, Qing'er, and the officials off on the train. Qing'er, newly married, cried her eyes out, clinging to me. I smiled and comforted her, saying, "I will return to Beijing soon. Even if you open an office in Luoyang, I will visit you often!"

Back at my residence, I spent another night with my ten wives, and when I woke up, it was already broad daylight.

When Yan'er saw that I was awake, she hurriedly told me, "Liu Kunyi and his wife, along with their daughter, are already waiting in the outer hall!"

As soon as I heard this, I quickly put on my clothes and rushed to the outer hall. When the three of them saw me, they hurriedly knelt down on the ground. I was about to help Liu Kunyi up when I saw a little girl with a devilish figure, wearing a Tang suit top and tight-fitting, hip-lifting jeans, kneeling next to him. She was looking up at me with a charming and lovely smile and winking at me. I was slightly taken aback: "What a mischievous and adorable girl!"

Yan'er pinched me, pulling me back from my reverie. "Ah, I just learned that Xianzhuang has a daughter here. They're on a long expedition and probably won't be back for a while. The Xianzhuang couple must be very reluctant to part with her, right?"

Liu Kunyi smiled and said, "I can easily say so, but my wife is very worried and insisted on seeing her off. That's why I dared to ask Your Majesty for leave!"

I laughed, "That's only natural. If the Xianzhuang couple really can't bear to part, they don't have to let the young lady go. I can just say so!"

Unexpectedly, the little girl raised an eyebrow and glared at me: "No, I'm going! I want to go with you!"

Liu Kunyi's wife quickly said, "We appreciate Your Majesty's kindness, but let her go! This girl has been wild since she was little; home can't contain her!"

Liu Kunyi also quickly said, "This time, it was thanks to Consort Zhen and the others that she was saved. She's also very familiar with the consorts. If you don't let her go, she'll... " "Don't they ransack our house! It's all our fault for spoiling her. She's the only one, wild as a tomboy. Hearing this, who can stop her?"

I laughed, looked at her, her face flushed, and she winked at me, pointing to her mother. I knew she wanted me to help persuade her mother. I nodded and said, "You can rest assured, once the area is developed, Xianzhuang can retire and live with the girl!"

Liu Kun nodded, "That's all we can do. We have to let her be! Sigh, it's all our fault for spoiling her!"

Just then, Li Xianglin rushed in with a telegram. My expression changed immediately upon reading it. I turned to Yan'er and said, "I must go to the Northeast immediately. A major plague has broken out in the Kailu area of Jilin. Many people have died. The army has surrounded the area. I must go and help the people there eradicate the plague!"

Unexpectedly, the girl's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she quickly said, "Your Majesty, I, Liu Li, request to accompany Your Majesty!"

Her words reminded me of Li Yueniang, and I happily said, "Go back to Xianzhuang and lend me Li Yueniang and her disciples! They are masters at curing plagues! With them here, the plague will be eradicated soon!"

Hearing this, the little girl started to cry, and Liu Kunyi's wife also had tears welling up in her eyes.

Not knowing the details, I quickly looked at Liu Kunyi. Before he could speak, Zhen'er said, "Master Li and her disciples were all killed by the British army that day. Only Liu Li was taken aboard because the captain took a liking to her, and we rescued her!"

I said "Oh," feeling truly indignant at the British army's atrocities, and secretly regretting that we couldn't rely on them anymore.

"Currently, there are only a few types of plagues circulating in our country, and I can treat most of them. As for any new diseases, while I can't guarantee a cure, I can help Your Majesty consider them and strengthen Your Majesty's judgment!" the little girl said, her eyes filled with expectation, which made my heart tremble.

Liu Kunyi also said, "Your Majesty can certainly let her give it a try. She has basically mastered the true teachings of the Divine Physician Yueniang, and has some experience in this area. She won't be a burden to Your Majesty!"

I smiled, "I'm not afraid that Lady Gui will become a burden, but I'm considering that the treatment time might be prolonged, and Lady Gui might not be able to accompany Empress Yan. I'm afraid she might not be willing to go!"

The little girl was stunned, glared at me, and then winked at me, "Your Majesty, don't scare me! I'd rather not go overseas than not accompany Your Majesty to save the people from their suffering! Besides, Your Majesty will go overseas sooner or later, and I'll just go with you!"

These words couldn't be clearer. I blushed and my heart pounded because of her, so I could only say, "Then I'll trouble Lady Gui to go to Kailu and see! If she can relieve the local people's crisis, I will reward her!"

The little girl winked at me again. She sniffed and said, "I don't need Your Majesty's praise, Your Majesty only needs to give me one person!"

I was taken aback: "Give him to someone? Mortals have their own freedom, how can I decide?"

The little girl glared at me: "I won't kill him, I won't eat him, what is Your Majesty afraid of? Do you think I don't know he has freedom? I only beg you if Your Majesty can decide, and I certainly won't beg you if Your Majesty can't decide!"

I thought for a moment and said, "Alright, as long as you don't make things difficult for him, I will naturally agree!"

The little girl jumped up and said, "Okay, then it's a deal! Empress Yan, Consort Zhen, you are my witnesses!"

That night I took the train to the Northeast. Since Yan'er and the others were busy preparing for the expedition, I was naturally accompanied by Li Xianglin and the mischievous little girl with the squeamish nose.

That night, I lay down on the bed and fell asleep. Exhaustion and anxiety made me sleep very soundly, and I didn't wake up until the train entered the pass and it was already dawn. I was about to sit up when I felt my arm was heavy and a little numb. I tried to pull my arm back, but when I opened my eyes, I was startled to see a little girl resting her head on my arm. The little girl had one arm wrapped around my waist and was sleeping soundly, emitting even, soft snores.

I looked closely and saw it was indeed that little girl with the quirky nose. I quickly nudged her, "Hey, Miss Liu, why are you sleeping here? Men and women shouldn't touch each other!"

She opened her eyes, looked at me, and chuckled, "It's so comfortable sleeping in His Majesty's arms! I didn't have any nightmares at all, that's great! From now on, it's a deal, I'll sleep like this!"

I was so angry I wanted to slap her, but as soon as I raised my hand, she grinned and said, "I heard His Majesty loves to spank the little bottoms of all the imperial concubines. Shouldn't I also enjoy the treatment of an imperial concubine? Then hurry up and spank me! Come on, spank me here, I still have some flesh here, I promise it won't hurt His Majesty's hand! Come on, I really want to be spanked by His Majesty!"

I was so angry I laughed instead. "Naughty boy, get up! I need to stretch my legs!"

The little girl immediately said, "Is it Xuanyuan Fist? I know a few moves too, come on, learn a couple more from Your Majesty!"

I asked curiously, "How do you know that? That's our Long family's secret fist technique!"

She smiled at me again, her nose twitching, and said, "I stole it. Your concubines all practice it every morning, and I learned it pretty well after watching a few times! What? Do you want me to check if it's authentic Xuanyuan Fist?"

I said with a stern face, "How dare you steal my secret fist technique!"

She chuckled, "It's just a fist technique! I'd even steal a person, let alone a fist technique!"

I glared at her and jumped up, walking to the open space to practice Xuanyuan Fist. The little girl got up, put on the white coat I had prepared for her, and wore a white hat. She watched me practice, and after a while, she suddenly flew in and started sparring with me.

I saw her, dressed in pure white, fluttering like a ghost in front of me, quite a sight to behold. Her fists and feet flew, each move exuding a spiritual energy, carrying a chilling wind, ethereal and graceful—it was indeed the Xuanyuan Palm Technique!

Damn, she's really learned it quite well. You know, my wives, apart from Yan'er and Fei'er, only have a rudimentary understanding of the Xuanyuan Fist. She's learned it to this extent from them; it's nothing short of a miracle! But no matter how well she's learned, she's still not quite there yet. After a dozen or so rounds, I pushed her aside with my arm. She lay on the ground motionless for a long time, which startled me. If I had really hurt the little girl, I wouldn't have been able to explain it to Liu Kunyi! Then—I rushed over to help her up, but oh my god, she had no breath at all! I quickly squatted down and held her in my arms, trying to channel my inner energy into her. She still had no breath. I quickly laid her flat on the bed, bent down, and put my mouth to her mouth to perform artificial respiration.

Wait a minute, why is there a little lilac in my mouth, like a lively little fish wriggling around?

Suddenly I realized, I'd fallen for her trick! She was perfectly fine, just teasing me!

I straightened up angrily, but oh no! She wrapped herself tightly around me like an octopus, her long, slender legs around my waist, her arms around my neck, her little mouth pressed against mine, the lilac swimming freely inside. It seemed she was a novice, but her stubbornness was undeniable!

The little girl paused slightly, blushed, and gave me a playful sniff: "Of course I have to take it, but I already took it on the train!"

Sheng Bao and Li Xianglin took their medicine, and I grabbed some water, tossed the medicine into my mouth, and swallowed it too.

While everyone was busy boarding the train, I quietly wrapped the medicine in paper and slipped it into my pocket.

Just as the car was about to leave, Guo Ronggen called us back, having a young girl bring over a plate of steamed buns, saying, "Your Majesty, please eat something before you go. Don't eat the food there!"

I picked up a bun, took a bite, and said, "Beef filling?"

The girl said, "Yes, these are beef. If Your Majesty doesn't like them, there are pork ones over there!"

I handed the bun to Liu Li, saying, "Don't waste food, just finish it for me!"

The girl hesitated, and Li Xianglin quickly reached out, "Here, give it to me, I'll eat it!"

The girl rolled her eyes at him, opened her mouth wide, and took a big bite, swallowing the bun whole in just a few bites. While eating, she smiled charmingly at me, her face full of happiness. Oh no, this girl is probably thinking of something else again. I took the opportunity to slip the last pill into a bun. I knew she would be in contact with many patients, and it would be terrible if she didn't take her medicine. Besides, I also knew she hadn't taken the medicine on the way. She hadn't left my side the whole way, so how could I not know whether she had taken her medicine or not?

The young girl brought over another plate of buns, and I ate a few. Then our group set off for Tongliao City.

Upon entering Tongliao, the streets were deserted. We drove directly into the hospital. Several doctors had already been infected with the virus, but they were still wholeheartedly dedicated to saving patients. Seeing us arrive, the head of the medical team hurriedly came to greet us: "It's too dangerous here, gentlemen, please don't go in!"

Sheng Bao quickly introduced, "This is His Majesty the Emperor. He has come to see you personally and wants to hear your report!"

The head of the team was startled and immediately knelt down: "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! This humble subject will report immediately!"

I told him to get up and then said, "Come, take us to the wards!"

The man hesitated. I said, "Since I am here, I must understand the illness thoroughly. I cannot allow our people to suffer from this plague!"

The man had no choice but to lead us to several wards.

As soon as the young girl entered the ward, she carefully examined the patient's condition, looking at the tongue coating, arms, and legs, and then inquired about the treatment. The team leader said, "Currently, we are mainly using penicillin for treatment, but it can only temporarily control the condition and cannot fundamentally solve the problem. Moreover, penicillin is in short supply, so we dare not use too much; we can only use it for critically ill patients!"

Upon hearing this, I immediately instructed Li Xianglin to send a telegram to Zhen'er to request a large shipment of penicillin to the epidemic area.

As we left the hospital, the little girl dragged us into a large pharmacy. The owner, seeing us, said, "Sir, take whatever medicine you need. If it can cure this disaster, you can take everything from my little shop!"

The little girl, with tears in her eyes, asked, "Sir, do you have castor beans?"

The owner replied, "Castor beans are sweet, pungent, and neutral in nature, but slightly poisonous. The lady said they can cure this plague?"

The little girl sighed, "I just had a sudden thought. Sell us as many as you have. Are there any other large pharmacies nearby? We can try looking there!"

The owner hurriedly had someone bring us half a bag: "That's all. Hopefully, this can save the entire city!"

The little girl shook her head: "There are too many people in the city. This isn't enough. Tell us the locations of other pharmacies!"

The owner quickly pointed out the locations of several pharmacies. Before leaving, I asked Li Xianglin to calculate the money, but the owner refused. I then had Li Xianglin throw down fifty taels of silver.

After visiting several more pharmacies and loading our car with several large bags of castor beans, the little girl finally smiled.

In the afternoon, we returned to our lodgings, and the little girl watched us wash our hands and feet again. Then she went inside and started flipping through her medicine book. She wouldn't respond when called for meals, and I had to go in and pull her out: "Even if you're in a hurry, you have to eat! A little more time won't make a difference!"

After dinner, I felt weak all over, and my head was spinning, so I went to bed early.

A raging fire, an endless, raging fire, rushed towards me, making my mouth dry. I ran and ran, but the fire kept chasing me—snowy ground, how did I end up in the frigid north of Lake Baikal in my country again? So cold! I was shivering all over! Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my buttocks, and I vaguely felt like I'd been given an injection. I drifted off to sleep again, and after what seemed like an eternity, I heard a soft sobbing sound. I struggled to open my eyes and looked at the little girl who had thrown herself on me, crying. I said with difficulty, "What's wrong, little girl? Why are you crying? Quickly, get me some water, I'm so thirsty!"

Li Xianglin hurriedly brought me a cup of water. The little girl took it, gently blew on it, took a sip, pursed her little lips, and brought it close to our faces, pressing her lips to mine so that the water could slowly seep into my mouth.

After taking a sip of water, I became a little more awake. I said, "What's wrong with me?"

The little girl questioned me, "Did Wansui put your pill in the bun and make me eat it?"

I was taken aback and said, "You come into contact with patients a lot; you can't do without medicine!"

The little girl started sobbing, "Even if Li'er dies a hundred times, she can't atone for her greed!"

I smiled bitterly and said, "You mean I've been infected with the virus?"

The little girl nodded, took another sip of water, and poured it into my mouth. Then she went to the medicine bags piled in the corner of the room, opened one bag, grabbed a few castor seeds, and handed them to Li Xianglin, who was crying his eyes out, saying, "Go, find a medicine grinder to crush them, then find some clean radish greens, mash them together, and find a clean white cloth. Bring them to me as soon as possible!"

Li Xianglin left in a hurry, and the little girl continued to feed me water, sip by sip. I tried to get up and drink by myself, but my body was too weak to lift anything; I couldn't move at all.

Li Xianglin was decisive and efficient; he finished the task in less than the time it takes to smoke a pipe. The young maid looked at the watery, mashed radish greens in the bowl, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "General Li, you guard the door for me outside. I'm treating His Majesty now, so don't let anyone disturb me!"

Li Xianglin agreed and hurriedly ran out.

The young maid walked up to me and whispered, "Your Majesty, I'm about to be disrespectful. I don't really know if this method is right, but to save my beloved, I'm going to risk it!"

After saying that, she climbed onto the bed and began to unbutton my clothes. I was drowsy and had neither the strength nor the desire to object; only a single tear rolled down my cheek. Alas, another debt of love has been placed upon me. How am I going to repay it?

The girl had unbuttoned all my clothes. She reached out to pull off my clothes, but her face suddenly turned red. She closed her eyes, composed herself, and then resolutely began to undress me.

One by one, her clothes were removed, until only my underwear remained. She hesitated, then closed her eyes and reached out to pull down my underwear. But as her small hand pulled down the underwear, it was slapped by my erect penis. She opened her eyes in surprise, immediately cried out "Ah!" and collapsed there. After a long while, she took a breath and muttered to herself, "How can it be so big? It's so scary!" Her small hand, like trying to catch a snake, slowly reached for my penis, only to retreat in fright each time. Finally, she closed her eyes and grabbed my penis, then immediately let go, "Ouch, it's so hot! I'm so stupid, why aren't you treating Wan Sui yet!"

Without hesitation, she used one soft little hand to lift my buttocks and the other to pull down my underwear. Then she took a piece of white cloth, cut a half-foot square, placed it on my chest, picked up a bowl of radish greens, poured out some sticky, watery stuff, quickly wrapped it in the cloth, and began wiping it on my chest.

Instantly, a cool sensation spread throughout my body.

She knelt beside me, vigorously rubbing my chest, neck, temples, palms, soles, and groin. Finally, she took my large penis with her small hand and carefully rubbed it.

The cool sensation continued to flow into my brain, making my body feel much more comfortable and my mind much clearer.

She helped me turn over and began rubbing my back. I don't know when I drifted off to sleep.

I don't know how long I slept, but when I woke up, the sunlight in the room was particularly dazzling. I moved and found myself still lying naked in bed, my penis still being held tightly in someone's hand, one of my arms still being pressed down, and my face and shoulders feeling the ticklish friction of hair with every movement. I looked down and saw it was still that little girl, nestled in my arms, one jade-like arm still tightly wrapped around my waist, her long black hair draped over my shoulders.

Good heavens, what kind of behavior is this? I quickly placed her head on the pillow, removed her arms from around my waist, and sat up. Good heavens, her hand was still gripping me tightly, showing no sign of letting go.

I lifted the thin blanket and froze. The girl was only wearing a small red bodice, which was pushed high by her small, firm breasts. Her snow-white skin, slender waist, pert buttocks, rounded and long legs, and the sparse, almost countable downy hair on her full peach-shaped mounds, along with the swollen, red lines, made my blood boil, and my erection instantly became even more impressive.

I hurriedly pried her little hands off, trying to escape the awkward situation.

Unexpectedly, this woke her up. Seeing me sitting there, she burst into tears, crying, "Hooray! Hooray!"

I was stunned, realizing that I had actually escaped the torment of my illness. That meant the little girl's method had worked!

I said happily, "Little girl, your method worked! The people of Tongliao are saved!"

The little girl threw herself into my arms, sobbing uncontrollably, "Lily prayed to heaven last night and said she and Wansui were already married. If anything happened to Wansui, Lily would go with him. Who knew Lily would get such a lively husband!"

I was shocked, "What? We're married? You mean we're married?"

The little girl looked up at my surprised expression and nodded uneasily, "Yes, Lily gave herself to Wansui to help you improve your blood circulation!"

I looked down at the blood-stained roses on the bed and at the little girl's swollen labia, and sighed deeply.

The little girl hugged me tightly, "Is Wansui annoyed with me? Then I'll disappear from Wansui's side right now!" As she spoke, her rosy face was already streaked with tears.

I hugged her tightly, my heart aching. "You're still a child! How could you withstand something as big as mine?"

She wiped her tears on my chest. "No, I didn't feel any pain. I was just worried about your blood circulation. Luckily, after you ejaculated, your blood circulation improved. Then you needed to defecate, and I got you a chamber pot. You passed a lot of thick blood, then drank a lot of water, and then fell asleep."

I was completely stunned. How could I not remember any of these things? I only remembered falling asleep!

I smelled a foul odor in the room. I asked, "You haven't emptied your chamber pot yet?"

The girl blushed and said, "I want to see a doctor today to check if there are any other viruses! I want to give His Majesty a thorough treatment!"

I jumped down, opened the chamber pot, and saw that it was indeed filled with thick blood. I said, "Empty it quickly. I'm usually immune to all diseases, but this time is an exception. You don't need to see a doctor! You should get dressed quickly and use your methods to save the people of Tongliao!"

The little girl laughed, "Your Majesty, don't worry. General Li has already made the arrangements. Didn't you see that the medicine is all gone? Now we're just worried about not having enough penicillin. I'll have them give you an injection of penicillin first, and then rub castor oil and radish greens all over your body." Seeing

that the whole pile of medicine was gone, I laughed, "Does it have to be done like this to improve blood circulation?"

She glared at me, "No way! How can a child or an old person do this? We just want you to get rid of this illness as soon as possible!"

I smiled and said, "Last night I drank a lot of water. Did you feed me mouth-to-mouth?"

The little girl blushed and said shyly, "Your Majesty, it was like a dream. You couldn't drink it without being fed!"

I hugged her and said, "I don't blame you. I just feel bad that you've had to go through all this trouble!" The little girl kissed me

, pointed to the three wads of cloth on the table beside her, and said, "I wiped you three times, and my arms are so tired I can barely lift them. But I thought it was all for saving my lover, so it was worth it no matter how tired I was! Your Majesty, don't you think I'm right?"

The little girl was cunning; she was forcing me to acknowledge our relationship. But at this point, did I have any way out?

I nodded and said, "The power of love is immense. Everything my Li'er has done for love is worthwhile!"

She giggled happily upon hearing this.

I looked out the window, wondering how the people in Tongliao were doing.
