Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruoqing’s face immediately turned red and she hurriedly said, ”We have to get up for a military march tomorrow morning, you... don’t mess around.”

”What are you thinking about? I just purely want to help you remove your armor, are you thinking naughty thoughts?” Chen Mo looked at Jiang Ruoqing with a playful expression.

This angered Jiang Ruoqing so much that she drew her sword and gave Chen Mo a swing.

However, since there were many patrolling around the commander’s tent, standing outside like this with Chen Mo, speaking intimately, was somewhat inappropriate. After glaring at Chen Mo, she said, ”You... you promised, no fooling around.”

”Don’t worry, you don’t trust my character?” Chen Mo coaxed Jiang Ruoqing into the commander’s tent with a mix of persuasion and deception.

But soon Jiang Ruoqing realized she had been tricked.

Indeed, Chen Mo removed her armor.

But after taking off the armor, he lifted her up onto the table, pulled off her underpants directly, and even lifted her thigh...

After half an hour of struggling, Jiang Ruoqing lay powerless on the table, lacking even the strength to curse Chen Mo.

However, seeing that Chen Mo wanted to pick her up again, Jiang Ruoqing was so frightened that she cried out, ”You... if you dare mess around again, I... I’ll fight you.”

Even if she’s a canary, she can’t be maltreated like this.

Chen Mo shrugged, ”Lying on the table is uncomfortable, so I’ll carry you to the bed.”

Seeing Chen Mo’s serious expression, Jiang Ruoqing believed his nonsense once again.

As a result, the moment he carried her to the bed, she was once again tormented in a different way, under the pretext of helping her increase her strength.

”I... would rather believe a pig can climb a tree than believe your nonsense again,” Jiang Ruoqing said softly, lying sideways on the bed, her body slightly curled up, weak and exhausted.

”I didn’t lie to you, I did help you remove your armor before, and then helped enhance your strength, didn’t I?” Chen Mo said somewhat shamelessly, referring to dual cultivation as an increase in strength.

”Then... what about the messing around?” Jiang Ruoqing gritted through her teeth.

”That was a free gift for you. We’re like an old married couple now, you’ll get used to it.” Chen Mo laughed.

Jiang Ruoqing was utterly defeated by his shamelessness and stopped responding to him, feeling somewhat aggrieved.

Chen Mo waved his hand back, the candlelight in the commander’s tent went out, the tent was plunged into darkness, then he embraced Jiang Ruoqing from behind.

Jiang Ruoqing’s body trembled, but seeing that Chen Mo did nothing, merely held her to sleep, she breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Jiang Ruoqing did not entirely reject this affair, she even had some longing for it. The reason she presented a resistant posture was partly due to a natural reserve, and partly because she felt Chen Mo somewhat disrespected her, coupled with concern that they were in a military camp, surrounded by tens of thousands of people, and afraid they might overhear.

”Sorry, it won’t happen again.” Just as Jiang Ruoqing was about to forget all this, she heard Chen Mo’s voice in her ear.

The reason Chen Mo acted this way was mainly because he had spent a long time with the submissive Jiang Ning, whom he had conditioned, and had come to treat Jiang Ruoqing like such a submissive woman.

But she was different from Luo Zhen, Xu Miaozhen, Ye Wanqiu, Zhao Jiangning and them.

She wasn’t that kind of little woman, she had her own mind, a strong woman with a mentor grievance in her heart.

To win her heart, Chen Mo had to approach her with equality or even privilege.

Don’t look at how Jiang Ruoqing has become his woman now, how she has entrusted her heart to him.

But this kind of relationship that only involves physical exchange is not stable.

And this was something Chen Mo hadn’t considered before.

Even when Jiang Ruoqing asked to join the expedition, Chen Mo agreed partly because he had thoughts of doing bad things at night.

He suddenly realized this point too.

Upon hearing Chen Mo’s ”admission of wrongdoing”, most of the grievance in Jiang Ruoqing’s heart disappeared. In her interactions with Chen Mo, he was extremely dominant in front of her, so his admission of guilt was a rather unexpected thing for Jiang Ruoqing.

”Hmph.” Jiang Ruoqing snorted twice with her nose.

Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief, kissed Jiang Ruoqing’s jade back, and said, ”Let’s rest.”

...

Before dawn, the military camp was already active, having consumed the dry food they carried for breakfast, it was time to break camp and hit the road.

Chen Mo rode a white horse, while Jiang Ruoqing beside him, riding the Snow Dragon Steed given by the Xiao Family, rode tall and straight alongside Chen Mo, heading swiftly towards Qinyang County.

In a county town in Nanyang County.

Zhao Jiang received a letter from the Capital City.

Learning that a two hundred thousand strong army had already departed from the Capital, all elite Imperial Guard, with Chen Mo as the main commander. Deputies included Feng Ji, Wind Well...

The letter introduced some basic information about Chen Mo.

Zhao Jiang immediately invited other warlords for a discussion.

”Xiao Yunqi has already sent an army of two hundred thousand towards us, with one hundred and fifty thousand infantry and fifty thousand cavalry. The main commander is Chen Hong’s younger brother, who once killed the Yellow Turban leader Zhang Ping in Nanyang. He’s nineteen years old, already a First Grade Martial Artist, and also this time’s martial exam champion.”

Upon Zhao Jiang’s words, all the warlords were taken aback, Zhao Qi even said incredulously, ”A nineteen-year-old First Grade Martial Artist? Could this information be fake? Such talent, even the previous dynasty’s Grand Ancestor Qin Zheng would be slightly inferior...”

Zhao Yu also agreed with Zhao Qi, ”His brother Chen Hong is a eunuch in the palace. To be a eunuch means their background wasn’t very good, otherwise, he wouldn’t have ended up in the palace. How can a family with such a poor background cultivate a nineteen-year-old First Grade Martial Artist?”

Their words were agreed upon by all the warlords, as this matter seemed too unbelievable.

Zhao Jiang also didn’t believe it.

He even thought the spy he sent to the Capital had already been discovered by Xiao Yunqi. The letter was written by Xiao Yunqi imitating the spy’s handwriting to confuse them.

After all, how could there be a nineteen-year-old First Grade Martial Artist in this world?

Even Zhao Fujin, who was regarded as a prodigy by the State Preceptor and taken as a direct disciple, was only a Fifth Grade Martial Artist at sixteen.

Zhao Jiang looked at Zhao Bo, since Zhao Bo had just returned from the Capital, he should know something: ”Ninth brother, what do you think?”

Zhao Bo recalled the name Chen Mo but had no clue, so he said, ”As far as I know, Chen Hong doesn’t have a brother, and his hometown was flooded, so...”

”Ninth brother, are you saying the letter is fake?” Zhao Jiang frowned.

”Whether it’s real or not, the alliance leader should first send scouts to investigate the facts.” Zhao Bo said.

Zhao Jiang nodded, sending out scouts to verify the situation ahead.

In Qinyang County, the county magistrate stood on the city wall, looking into the distance. The reinforcements had yet to arrive, making him extremely anxious.

A day ago, he had received Chen Mo’s letter, saying the army would arrive in a few days and that he must hold Qinyang County.

Otherwise, upon learning that the rebel army had already arrived in Nanyang County, less than a hundred miles from Qinyang County, he would have abandoned the city and fled.

The enemy had two million forces opposite.

While Qinyang County had less than three thousand defenders.
