Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

He took the jar of wine and reached for the wine bowl.

"Why bother?" Jin Liu took out another jar of wine, opened it, and took a big sip from the jar. He laughed and said, "Refreshing!"

The wine in the jar rolled down his cheeks and slid across his white shirt, leaving a wet wine mark, mottled and shadowy, as if filled with infinite emotion.

He looked up, frowned at Jin Liu, and sighed deeply.

Jin Liu sneered at him and said, "Why are you so angry with me! If you had a beautiful woman to accompany you at night, I would not bother you even if I was shameless. But now you are still alone, why do you have to sleep alone? Not to mention a beautiful woman to spend the night with, there is not even a maid to clean the house. Wouldn't it be more pleasant to drink with me all night and talk about family and country?"

He quietly opened the wine jar, took a sip, and whispered, "Are you going to talk about family and national affairs at night, or are you going to talk about your worries at night?"

Jin Liu was silent for a while, then he smiled and said frankly, "A few days ago, my elder brother invited me to have a drink together and told me that my father wanted me to take over the Jinyiwei and supervise all officials. I will be given the power of life and death and must take down the giant pest traitor."

He smiled deeply, "I'm afraid that when the princes leave Beijing, you will be the only one left behind. Your Highness has already made this plan."

Jin Liu smiled bitterly. He knew very well that throughout history, no one who had done such a thing for the emperor had ever had a good ending.

"Since you can't refuse, you should do your best in everything." He invited Jin Liu to drink. "Your Highness has great plans and works hard to govern the country. You will succeed. Now I order you to take over the Jinyiwei, which is just a temporary measure. When this storm passes, you still have to return to your fiefdom."

Jin Liu turned around and looked at him.

"I returned to Beijing the day before yesterday." He smiled at Jin Liu.

Jin Liu shook his head and sighed, then smiled bitterly and said, "You are the one who is suitable to take over the Jinyiwei!"

"Corruption has become a rampant trend nowadays, and everyone is fearless. The people behind the scenes are ruthless and their methods are secretive. Your Highness has lost three generals in succession. If you want to get to the bottom of this matter and uproot the people behind the scenes, the prince must step in. I have taken over the Shenji Camp today to ensure that Prince Jing'an is safe and sound." He smiled at Jin Liu.

Jin Liu took a sip of wine and straightened up: "Brother is indeed very far-sighted! He even thought of this."

At this point, his eyes turned cold and he sneered, "My father has only been a vegetarian for a few years, and my eldest brother is a lenient ruler. Do those people think that we are all sheep?"

He smiled: "This is why His Highness chose you. The dignity of the Heavenly Family must be restored."

Jin Liu laughed resignedly, "Okay, okay, from now on, they are all rich and powerful princes, and I am the only vicious villain."

He also laughed: "Master Hong is a loyal minister and a good general, and I am just a lackey."

"Come on, lackey, have a drink with me!" Jin Liu raised the jar of wine, revealing a very ruffian air.

Just as the two of them took a sip of wine, Bi'an rushed in from outside. Without even a greeting, he grinned and shouted excitedly, "Master, Miss Nan is back!"

His heart trembled, and he stood up unconsciously, spilling the wine in his hand all over the table.

"When it comes to fighting, you're invincible." Jin Liu held him down and said playfully, "When it comes to dealing with women, you're still a little naive."

He was puzzled and looked at Jin Liu in doubt.

Jin Liu grinned at him: "Didn't you say she didn't know you were Hong Ze?"

He frowned, and Jin Liu smiled: "Now that she has come at the right time, let's give it a try and see how much she really loves you."
