Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

Chapter 627 The Army Sets Off

"Is it absolutely necessary to leave?" Zhou Xiyin asked tenderly, her eyes filled with unspoken worry.

She knew that Lin Ping only had Jiang Yunying in his heart, and she had never asked him to do anything.

This time was an exception; she knew how dangerous the battle was.

Lin Ping nodded and said, "We have no choice but to leave."

Zhou Xiyin knew she couldn't keep the man in front of her, and didn't know what to say, so she just stared straight at Lin Ping.

The crimson sunset, filtering through the sparse windows, cast clusters of red spots that fell upon the two faces, adding a touch of tenderness.

Lin Ping chose to say goodbye to Zhou Xiyin one last time so that they could have a heart-to-heart talk. This departure might truly be his last.

"It's getting dark soon, brother, hurry up and get ready. I want to enjoy my sister-in-law's warm embrace."

Lin Xiaomei nestled happily in Zhou Xiyin's arms, unaware that two pairs of murderous eyes were staring at her.

"You can stay here from now on and sleep in the same bed as your sister-in-law," Zhou Xiyin said affectionately.

She is Lin Ping's only sister; being good to her is the same as being good to Lin Ping.

This is also a way to capture Lin Ping's heart.

Lin Xiaomei was overjoyed and jumped around the room. If the ceiling hadn't been so high, she probably would have had a hole poked in it long ago.

"You brat, you ruined my plans!" Lin Ping glared at her fiercely, his gaze capable of killing.

Lin Xiaomei, immersed in happiness, was completely unaware that she was rolling around on Zhou Xiyin's bed.

This was probably the most comfortable bed she had ever slept in.

"Go, go, go without worry, I'll protect you, sister-in-law." Lin Xiaomei waved to Lin Ping and even winked.

It means, brother, don't worry, I will definitely study sister-in-law's body thoroughly, and you can just eat it when you come back.

Lin Ping wished he could slap her across the face.

"You're using Yinyin's body for your research? If it weren't for you, we'd be having meat tonight!"

Seeing the comical antics of the brother and sister, Zhou Xiyin couldn't help but laugh out loud. Finally, she pretended to be angry and said, "What? You still want to stay? Isn't sleeping in the woodshed more comfortable?"

"Can sleeping in a woodshed smell better than sleeping with a beautiful woman? These are completely different concepts!"

Lin Ping stormed out, even slamming the door shut.

"Is brother angry? Did I upset him?" Lin Xiaomei asked, feeling wronged. She was most afraid of Lin Ping getting angry.

What could Zhou Xiyin say? Should she tell her the truth?

The other person is just a child! They shouldn't have to endure such filthy thoughts.

“He always has those few days every month,” Zhou Xiyin said irritably.

"Brother, you also have your period?" Lin Xiaomei opened her innocent eyes, feeling that Zhou Xiyin was lying to her.

Saying goodbye is the hardest thing to say, and Lin Ping isn't the kind of person who likes to get sentimental.

Lin Xiaomei's appearance resolved the awkward situation perfectly. Even when it was time to leave the next day, Lin Xiaomei still said as if sending away a plague god, "Brother, hurry up and go. Don't let the enemy get away. The gang will protect your sister-in-law."

"Does this girl really not know how terrifying the enemy is? Is she hoping I'll go and die? Is she even my real sister?" Lin Ping asked himself in confusion.

Zhou Xiyin did not see him off out of the city, but stood at the gate of the Lin residence, gazing in the direction he had left, for a long time.

"Sister-in-law, let's go back inside. It's windy outside. If you catch a cold, my brother will skin me alive." Lin Xiaomei forcefully pulled Zhou Xiyin's hand and dragged her into the mansion, ignoring whether the other resisted.

I'm strong, so you have to listen to me.

Zhou Xiyin then realized that she had been imprisoned.

Lin Xiaomei is a doting brother, and she will definitely complete the tasks Lin Ping assigns her perfectly.

To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, she would definitely restrict Zhou Xiyin's freedom.

Outside the city gate, Pang Xingji had been waiting for a long time, with five thousand elite cavalrymen ready to go.

"Send it out," Lin Ping said calmly, not daring to waste any more time.

"Are you leaving already? Aren't you taking anything with you?" Pang Xingji reminded him.

"What should I bring?" Lin Ping was puzzled and couldn't understand Pang Xingji's meaning at all.

"For example, a black iron ball that can explode?"

Pang Xingji was giving frantic hints, almost saying the word "bomb."

"Who told you this? This is a top secret of Huiwen Academy!" Lin Ping looked at Pang Xingji with cold eyes.

"I will never betray Xu Congcong!" Pang Xingji covered his mouth and stammered, "I, Pang Xingji, will take full responsibility for this matter. I beg Your Highness to punish me."

"Xu Congcong! When I get back, I'll sew your mouth shut so you'll never be able to speak again."

Lin Ping said angrily.

The bomb is his trump card; if the news leaks out, the enemy will definitely be prepared.

“He only told me,” Pang Xingji defended Xu Congcong.

He was, after all, Lin Ping's confidant and had the right to know about this matter. So, Xu Congcong couldn't be considered to have leaked a top secret.

"So how many people did you tell?" Lin Ping continued to ask.

"I only told a few commanders, centurions, and flag bearers..." Pang Xingji said, counting on his fingers, as if he wanted to show his toes as well.

Lin Ping was speechless, and even considered killing Pang Xingji.

"You'd better pray that no one else knows. If I hear anyone outside the army mention this, I'll chop your head off and use it as a chamber pot," Lin Ping said through gritted teeth.

Pang Xingji clearly knew he had made a mistake, and said with a wronged expression, "Can't it be used as a chamber pot if it's not cut off?"

He said this out of consideration for Lin Ping, since the mission was extremely dangerous and carrying a bomb would increase their chances of success.

Lin Ping calmed down and explained calmly, "This is just the first encounter with the Daye Dynasty. We can't reveal our trump cards. Besides, the bombs haven't been mass-produced yet, so their effect is minimal. When we really have to fight the Daye Dynasty in the final battle, a large number of bombs will suddenly appear, which will definitely catch the enemy off guard."

That's true; an army of 100,000 was nothing to the Daye Dynasty.

Perhaps this is just a probe of Wu Kingdom's vanguard. If Lin Ping takes out the bomb, it will alert the enemy and make things difficult for the final battle.

In short, Lin Ping's unspoken message was: the bomb is for saving his wife, and no one should even think about taking the bomb!

"Your Highness is indeed thoughtful and considerate, a thousand times better than me, old Pang." Pang Xingji scratched his head and chuckled, offering another wave of admiration.

Lin Ping rode a sturdy green horse, his sharp eyes glancing south and then north.

"I don't care if you're from the Lotus Palace or the Great Ye Dynasty, you're unlucky to have messed with me, Lin Ping. If I don't beat you to your knees and beg for mercy, I'll even break my name and say it out loud!"

The chilling gaze sent shivers down one's spine, and Pang Xingji, standing to the side, felt the intense killing intent and became excited as well.

With his gaze fixed on the north, Lin Ping pointed his sword at Xuzhou and declared with boundless pride, "Daye Dynasty, you just wait! I'll beat you so badly you'll be running for your life!"

Set off!!!

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Five thousand soldiers shouted in unison, their voices resounding through the sky—how majestic and awe-inspiring!
