Chapter 993: Chapter 413: Your Figure Really Suits Combat_2

Before Lu Jin’an could speak, she had already crossed her legs and leaned forward.

Lu Jin’an had no opportunity to say a word.

There was a sense of being in a vacuum environment.

A flicker of surprise and delight flashed uncontrollably in his eyes, as if saying that Dongfang Xinglan’s micro-control over her muscles was the most suitable for combat.

It also made Lu Jin’an seem significantly weaker.

Dongfang Xinglan quietly raised her eyes, observing his joyful expression, and a hint of a smile quietly crossed her eyes.

As the clouds dispersed and the rain ceased, some sunlight spilled over the land, Dongfang Xinglan half-knelt on the ground, helping Lu Jin’an tie his belt, her eyes red, but unable to hide her charm.

"Completely controlling the north bank of the Longjiang is just a matter of time, the main issue is at the rear..." Dongfang Xinglan spoke slowly with a slightly hoarse voice: "Because I ordered the demolition of temples everywhere, which sparked quite a bit of civil unrest. Although the number of people involved in the unrest is relatively small, it involves various states and cannot be overlooked." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

After a pause, she looked up quickly to add: "I’m not offering you a sweet deal and then asking you to take action, don’t overthink... "

"I know." Lu Jin’an caressed her cheek: "Leave this matter to me, um... trust the rear to my care."

The rear...

Dongfang Xinglan glanced at him coquettishly: "Aren’t you satisfied yet? The interval between this time and the last wasn’t too long, was it?"

"It’s been more than half a month." Lu Jin’an said seriously: "Besides, it was you who told me to undress quickly this time."

"Alright, don’t say anymore!" Dongfang Xinglan quickly changed the subject: "Also, I wasn’t planning on having you deal with the civil unrest in the southern states."

"Oh?" Lu Jin’an asked curiously: "Then..."

"I ordered the demolition of temples everywhere, which caused considerable civil unrest, but it’s all within controllable limits. Because after the temples fell, the overwhelming majority of people who had benefited from reform realized their benefits were not diminished, they come to understand a fact.

The one who granted them benefits was not the God in the temples, but me!"

After a pause, Dongfang Xinglan continued: "This fact is the strongest support for temple demolition, but it can also be exploited by interested parties."

Lu Jin’an nodded in understanding, realizing that during the phase from collapse to rebuilding of faith, some clever people might use this to create deities for gain.

The civil unrest happening in the southern states may seem like many can’t accept the collapse of faith, but who knows if someone is exploiting this behind the scenes?

It’s the same principle as when people rally under the banner of the previous dynasty within this dynasty.

"Handling civil unrest isn’t difficult, what’s difficult is preventing it." Dongfang Xinglan stood up and said: "This can’t be dealt with as I did with the royal family, by simply killing. It requires a mixture of hard and soft tactics, so I plan to go and handle it personally."

Lu Jin’an took her hands: "Stabilizing the rear is indeed more important than continuing the attack at this stage."

"Mm." Dongfang Xinglan leaned into his embrace, wrapping her arms around his waist: "Dealing with it before the civil unrest develops further is the best method.

Besides, to continue attacking, I would have to take Qiming City in the Central Capital. I’m unsure whether the court’s speculations about the Land of Prosperity are true or false, so relying on them to find it first, and playing the role of the fisherman, is the best strategy for now, so...

Could you watch the direction of Qiming City for me, and observe the court’s actions?"

"Alright." Lu Jin’an nodded, looking down at Dongfang Xinglan’s calm expression, thinking how efficiently she handled the matter of eliminating a million royal family members, without leaving a trace.

But there are simply too many of the Dongfang clan’s royal family members; with thirty million or more, have half of them died by now?

"The Shenmiao Dynasty and the court have initiated the first round of negotiations." Lu Jin’an continued: "If everything goes as expected, Prince Hui Dongfang Yaoe and those royal family members will likely be handed over by the Shenmiao Dynasty to the court. Do you need me to take care of it first?"

"No need." Dongfang Xinglan shook her head: "I still don’t know how much Dragon Qi would count as a lot. Given that Dongfang Xinghe has yet to make any move, let him continue absorbing the Dragon Qi from the royal family.

Once the Land of Prosperity is found, he will definitely leave the capital to head south, and then we shall deal with him."

Lu Jin’an contemplated, looking at the sky, pondering if Xuanri Mountain knows the location of the Land of Prosperity?

Considering the fact that both Emperor Yongxing of the Jiuli Dynasty and Emperor Yuanhua of the Shenmiao Dynasty were aware of their respective territorial secrets, it’s unlikely Xuanri Mountain would be oblivious, so the inactivity is probably because the Dragon Qi on Dongfang Xinghe isn’t sufficient.

But this Dragon Qi... what’s considered enough?

No matter what, Dongfang Xinghe or Dongfang Zhen must not be allowed to get the upper hand, otherwise all the efforts would be in vain.

"Then I’ll take the Jinyi Guard to Qiming City to gather intelligence."

"Alright."

"Then let’s go, head down the mountain first."

"Mm..." Dongfang Xinglan shook her head: "My legs are weak, you go ahead, I’d like to watch you."

Lu Jin’an gave her a strange look: "Shall I carry you?"

"Hurry up and leave." Dongfang Xinglan pushed him with her hand, summoning Zhiyu over: "Your Master is taking you to the north for some delicious food, which is quite different from the southern cuisine~"

"Really?" Zhiyu’s eyes lit up immediately, shaking Lu Jin’an’s large hand: "Master, Master, hurry and take Zhiyu to eat, please?"

"Alright." Lu Jin’an pinched her chubby cheeks and looked at Dongfang Xinglan: "Then we’ll be off now."

Dongfang Xinglan waved with a smile until the sight of the large and small figures disappeared before lowering her right hand.

She calmly tidied her slightly disheveled clothes, picked up the mat laid on the ground, and started down the mountain, showing no sign of leg weakness.

As she reached halfway down the mountain, Red Ying, the commander of the personal troops, and Maid Ming Lan quickly stepped out, with Red Ying’s expression slightly unnatural.

The Highness said they were inspecting the dam, so she only took the two of them.

Worried, Red Ying had been silently listening to the noises from the mountain top, and discovered the relationship between the Highness and Lu Jin’an was quite intimate.

Particularly the Highness, who seemed eager for Lu Jin’an to undress...

Is this still the Highness she knows?

Red Ying had a thousand questions but, as a subordinate, she dared not ask or say anything inappropriate. Although she had mentally prepared herself for a long time, it was still difficult to act naturally.

Dongfang Xinglan glanced at her and said calmly: "I have a task for you."

Red Ying immediately knelt: "Your Highness, please instruct me."

"The Xining Army, Wuwei Iron Cavalry, and Yunshan Army are under your command; proceed east to attack the main forces of the Shenmiao Dynasty."

As she spoke, she handed Red Ying a written document prepared long ago: "The march should be rapid, and the attack measured; prioritize occupying land, then destroying the enemy. Do you remember?"

"I will carry out your orders!"

Dongfang Xinglan nodded and added: "Attack the southeast last, go now."

Red Ying gave a fist salute, took the order, and set out hastily.

Then Dongfang Xinglan looked at Ming Lan, causing her to tense and lower her head, reflecting on whether she had done anything wrong recently.

"Ming Lan." Dongfang Xinglan spoke leisurely: "Heat some water, I want to bathe."

She helped Lu Jin’an get cleaned up, but he didn’t do the same for her...

Ming Lan hurried down the mountain while Dongfang Xinglan swayed as she descended the steps, murmuring to herself: "He’s becoming more enchanted with me..."

As she finished speaking, she pursed her lips tightly and clenched her hands slightly more, but then again, so was she.

The problem is...

Even if there’s a determination in my heart, without a means to implement it, it’s nothing more than empty talk.

Dongfang Xinglan stopped, gazing at the flow of water within the dam, her eyes dim and unclear.

"Never mind, there’s still time. If it’s impossible, then forget it..."

Dongfang Xinglan exhaled softly, set her steps again.

Might as well go for a soak first.

Then, thoroughly stabilize the South.

As these thoughts passed through her mind, Dongfang Xinglan’s steps once more slowed, and the surrounding forest sounds seemingly disappeared at that moment.

She raised her right hand, the Qin King Sword appearing in her grasp.

At some unknown moment, a figure appeared on the cliff not far ahead, their voice as elusive and ethereal as the clouds in the sky.

"Want to leverage power to achieve your heart’s desire?"

"Leverage power?" Dongfang Xinglan’s face remained expressionless: "Yours?"

The figure raised their right hand, a flick of the fingers, and two secret books appeared in their hand, none other than the upper and lower volumes of "Ten Directions Breathing Technique."

"How about now?"
