Fast Travel: After turning into an animal, the villain asked me to be his wife

Although Xiao Ze closed his eyes, he did not fall asleep.

The presence of the little black snake was too strong. He tried hard to put away the beautiful dream in his mind, and gradually recalled what Lin Zheng said to him in the camp.

"Chahar cannot die yet."

"He is the most valued son of the king of the Yi tribe and the heir to the next king of the Yi tribe. You repelled Antu who came to rescue you. If I am not wrong, the Yi tribe will send someone to come for peace talks tomorrow and discuss whether Sheng Dynasty will let Cha go. Hal’s terms.”

"The emperor has always disliked border wars. This matter has to be reported to the emperor eight hundred miles away urgently. But nine times out of ten, the emperor will use Chahar as a bargaining chip to negotiate peace terms with the Yi people."

"...For the time being, it will be peaceful for a while."

Lin Zheng's words made Xiao Ze couldn't help but think deeper.

The Yi people have always been a problem on the frontiers of the Sheng Dynasty. As soon as autumn and winter come, they will burn, kill, loot and commit all kinds of evil.

Guan Linzheng's face didn't seem to want peace talks.

The military generals will probably feel aggrieved. General Weiyuan has just died. If Chahar is released because of peace talks, the soldiers in the army will probably feel chilled again.

Chahar killed many soldiers of the Sheng Dynasty.

Yu Zhen crawled directly from Xiao Ze's lapel to his neck. The young man's body was very warm, but still filled with the smell of blood.

He only had time to wash his face when he came back. Since he lived with the soldiers, he did not have the privilege of taking a bath every day. Fortunately, Xiao Ze has always been a clean person and would fetch water by himself every day to scrub. Of course, Definitely not showing it to her.

She doesn't care!

It's just that after a busy night today, it's too close to the time to get up for practice, so Xiao Ze will just choose to lie down in bed and rest, right?

It was just that it was a little too hot inside the quilt, so she got under Xiao Ze's neck and slowly stretched out her head. Because it was black, it blended into Xiao Ze's hair smoothly, and you couldn't tell it unless you looked carefully. There was a snake sleeping next to Xiao Ze.

She stuck out her tongue and made a slight "hissing" sound, and the tip of her forked tongue accidentally touched Xiao Ze's ear.

Xiao Ze was shocked and reached out to grab her with his eyes closed.

But he didn't make her feel any discomfort, and then he placed her in front of him, leaning against the inside of the bed.

The place where he slept happened to be in the corner. Except for Wu Lin who slept on his left, the dark yellow curtain of the camp was on his right.

He opened his eyes and looked at the little black snake in his palm in the darkness.

The soldiers around him had already been lying on the bed and fast asleep because of his arrival. Most of the soldiers were careless. Except for a few who were tossing and turning with heavy thoughts and couldn't sleep, most of the others were already asleep.

"What?" Xiao Ze's voice was very soft. If he hadn't been too close, Yu Zhen would have thought it was his imagination.

I thought the little tyrant was asleep, but he’s still awake?

She flicked her tail and stayed quietly in his palm.

Needless to say, it was indeed a bit hot inside the quilt, but the temperature of Xiao Ze's palms was quite moderate, and he wasn't very stuffy.

She decisively curled up into a ball in Xiao Ze's palm, looking very well-behaved.

Xiao Ze looked at the little thing in his hand with complicated eyes, and couldn't help but think of the ridiculous dream before...

The girl's body was soft and attractive, and the mark on her forehead seemed to be completely reflected in his eyes, never retreating again.

The memories that I had just forced myself to forget came back again.

Xiao Ze choked for breath.

Looking at the little black snake who had begun to sleep obediently without any notice in his palm, the beating of his heart became louder and louder.

After a while, a different emotion appeared in his eyes, as if he had figured something out, he pressed a light kiss on the little black snake's forehead.

It just happened to fall on the white mark.

He simply knew that he was not normal.

And why struggle?

**

The next day, the Yi people indeed sent envoys with their intention to redeem Chahar.

This kind of important matter was something that a general could not decide on his own. After leaving the envoy behind, Lin Zheng immediately sent someone back to the capital to report the news.

There was a strange atmosphere in the military camp.

On the one hand, it is the fear of death of the recruits who do not want to fight and only want peace; on the other hand, it is the hatred of General Weiyuan's old army towards Chahar and the Yi people. There is an undercurrent surging in between.

The war has become more tense because of Chahar, and only a spark can start a prairie fire and the tension falls into the hearts of every soldier.

Xiao Ze's identity was exposed. Although he did not show any difference, whether it was Lin Zheng always asking people to come to the camp to observe, or the attitude of the surrounding soldiers towards him, we can see the chain reaction caused by the change in status. reaction.

Wu Lin and Xiong Er, two people who were usually close to him, inevitably faced him with some respect and fear for the superior.

Xiao Ze didn't blame them for such a reaction, but he still felt a little confused.

In the end, it seemed that only the brave little black snake was not afraid of him from beginning to end.

He put his hand into his arms and touched the little black snake's head.

Yu Zhen clearly heard the system's announcement——[Love Value +5]

She flicked her tail, feeling that the little tyrant's love level had increased a bit too much recently.

Especially the day Chahar was arrested.

She curled up in his palm, and just as she was drifting off to sleep, she discovered that her forehead felt warm, and a breath that was as light as a flower blooming quickly approached and then pulled away from her.

She was just thinking that this little tyrant was homesick and lonely, but suddenly the system's somewhat excited voice sounded in her mind -

[Love value +30]

[Current love value 61]

[Oh my god, host, you are my god! ]

[The little tyrant is too awesome! I just said he was a tsundere! ]

[Usually he is calm and composed, but as soon as he came he got angry. He must have finally felt that you, the host, are the only one who will never leave him! ]

[Who says no, only the love of small animals is real! Everything else is just monsters! ]

[......]

The system chattered for a long time, and Yu Zhen casually brushed it off and let it go.

She no longer needed force to become a human, but she saw something familiar in Xiao Ze's eyes.

Recalling this, she felt a little numb when she heard the love value increased again.

As the system said, the little tyrant has been really generous recently.

A few days later, when Xiao Ze was practicing with the soldiers, he suddenly saw Lin Zheng's confidant walking over. He glanced at the team, nodded to Wu Lin next to him, and walked out.

"Your Highness, I have received a letter from the Imperial City. The general has sent an order for Your Highness to go to the main account and make a briefing."

Xiao Ze pursed his lips and followed the soldiers to the main tent.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard Lin Zheng's angry voice——

"Vice General Shen! Are you trying to disobey the order?!"

He stood by the door for a moment, stretched out his hand to lift the door curtain, and saw a red-faced man in the tent confronting Lin Zheng.

Seeing him coming in, Shentu was not frightened at all and continued: "For the sake of a truce in just two years, it is absolutely impossible for us to put Chahar back!"

"How many brothers die at the border every year?! General Weiyuan died not long ago due to the conspiracy of the Yi people! The soldiers all over the city are eager to kill all the Yi people! Not to mention that that person is Chahar!"

"Letting him go back is undoubtedly letting the tiger return to the mountain!"

"Shen Tu!!!" Lin Zheng was also angry. He slapped the table and looked at him fiercely, "Did you only see the two-year truce and nothing else?"

"The Yi people have to sacrifice their cattle, sheep and horses, and the people and soldiers at the border also need to recuperate! Don't you have an idea of ​​how many people will die in the war?"

Shentu sneered: "So? General Lin Zhenglin, do you dare to swear to God that you wholeheartedly agree to let Chahar go and agree to peace talks and a truce?"

When he said this, Lin Zheng immediately stopped talking.

Lin Zheng opened his mouth, and when he became angry, he could only say: "You are Da Sheng's deputy general and one of His Majesty's subjects..."

"Subjects? Bah! The old emperor enjoys all the glory and wealth in the imperial city. What about us?" Shentu had long been resentful of the old emperor because of the bitter cold at the border. In his anger, he even ignored it. "Food, grass and military pay are always withheld. The weapons are shoddily made, and my soldiers can’t even get a full meal or even a trace of meat!”

"Although Chahar was caught this time by mistake, the hatred over the years was settled with a mere two years of truce, and you want to let him go intact?"

"Lin Zheng! We are human beings too! Why can't we just kill the Yi people in one go?!"

Lin Zheng said with a dark face: "Are you going to rebel?!"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Tu's face paused: "I just don't want to let Chahar go so easily! There is no soldier in the army who doesn't want to sacrifice him to the flag! If we let him go like this, wouldn't the soldiers' death be in vain? ?!”

"Two years of truce, what kind of war is it? We are resting and recuperating. Doesn't the Yi tribe count as recuperating?"

"The king of the Yi tribe is already old. It is a time of civil strife. If we miss this opportunity, we don't know how many more years we will have to wait..."

"Enough!!!" Lin Zheng yelled, "If you don't think about yourself, you also have to think about your soldiers. I can pretend that I didn't hear what you said today. You should be glad that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, otherwise What you just said is already a crime of rebellion."

Shen Tu was furious. He showed his emotions in such a way just because of Lin Zheng's words, "The mountains are high and the emperor is far away."

It's just that although the emperor is far away, there is still another son of the emperor in front of him.

He also knew that what Lin Zheng said today was not unreasonable, but if he was asked to swallow his anger and let Chahar go, he definitely couldn't do it!

Shentu turned to look at Xiao Ze who had been standing there for who knows how long. He thought that it was because of his obstruction that Antu did not rescue Chahar. He also thought about what he had said just now, which was worthy of being beheaded. , Thinking of his own soldiers, he gritted his teeth and walked to Xiao Ze with heavy steps.

"Your Highness, Fourth Highness, what the general said just now was just out of anger and did not have any different intentions. I hope Your Highness will not think too much about it."

His tone was a little harsh, but it was easy to hear that he was quite condescending.

Even if he is not a favorite, he is still a prince. If these remarks fall on the ears of caring people, it is really rebellious.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a crazy beast, with unwillingness and frustration, and some contempt and rebellion hidden in his eyes.

Xiao Ze: "Vice General Shen is serious. I am just an unloved prince. How can I think too much about it?"

Xiao Ze: "It's just that since this is my father's decision, naturally you and I can't make any changes."

What he said was "you and me", not you, and the team had been clearly established secretly. Although Shentu seemed to be a reckless man, he was very careful at the critical moment. Naturally, he could hear the hidden feelings of the Fourth Highness towards the emperor. "Not close", even secretly agreeing with what he just said.

Lin Zheng glanced at Xiao Ze with an unclear expression and stood silent.

After a while, Shentu also calmed down. He cupped his fists and bowed to Xiao Ze: "Thank you for your unscrupulous kindness, Your Highness."

His Royal Highness is right, they really can't change anything...

Xiao Ze glanced at Lin Zheng, thinking of the old emperor far away, and curled his lips: "General Lin and Vice General Shen may not be aware that my father is old, and in recent years he has been obsessed with the art of alchemy and immortality. , so not wanting to spend more money on fighting is also related to these."

As soon as he said this, Shentu's thick eyebrows wrinkled, and he said in confusion: "What does this mean, Your Highness? What does refining elixirs for immortality have to do with spending more money on wars?"

Then, as if he was mocking the old emperor's fear of death, he smiled disdainfully: "If you ask me, in life you have to eat meat and drink alcohol. Sooner or later, you will die. Why do you spend so much effort?"

Lin Zheng knew what Xiao Ze meant. Thinking of the Taifu and that he had already implicitly sided with Xiao Ze, he said: "The amount your Majesty spends every year on refining elixirs to seek the art of immortality has reached an astronomical figure."

"The construction of the Eternal Life Palace and Star Reaching Platform started last year has already exceeded one year's military requirements, and the investment this year is even greater..."

"What?!" Shentu was so surprised that he immediately turned to look at Lin Zheng, his neck cracking because of too much force, "You spent so much money?! Just to repair that thing?"

Lin Zheng touched his nose: "It's not that thing, it's the Eternal Life Palace and the Star Reaching Platform."

"My father always listens to the words of those quacks and sorcerers. The last time a Taoist priest outside the palace asked my father to offer him a strategy for immortality, my father invited him into the palace without doubting his presence." Xiao Ze lowered his eyes and said As if talking about someone else's business, he said slowly, "The Taoist priest said that my father is the real dragon emperor. How can mortal things nourish the dragon's body if his blood is depleted? So he said that he would make elixirs to protect his father's longevity, but this medicine introduction cannot be a mortal." thing."

Shentu vaguely seemed to have heard about this matter, but he was far away at the border, and the emperor was refining elixirs and recuperating in the imperial city. It was not very important to them, so they did not study it in detail. But now when they heard the fourth prince talking about it, it seemed Any other inside information?

Lin Zheng knew. He glanced at Xiao Ze and wondered why he said these words now.

Isn't this like stabbing yourself in the heart with a knife?

"Then what else can this medicine introduction be? If it is not a mortal thing, how can you get it?" Shen Tu had a straight face and became serious without knowing it.

Xiao Ze curled his lips, and then said: "My father is the True Dragon Emperor, and his blood is not a mortal thing. Naturally, the prince who inherited his bloodline is not a mortal thing either."

"What?! He wants to use his son to make elixirs?! Is the death of the third prince related to this matter? Was the emperor using it to make elixirs?!" Shen Tu was shocked! The association is too far.

Even Xiao Ze didn't expect him to dare to think so.
