Chapter 139

The next day, Pang Jun did not go to work at the government office, but stayed by Sui Lianzhu's side to serve her. The beautiful woman was almost ruined by Pang Jun's play the day before, and she could only lie in bed to rest all day, and she never gave Pang Jun a good face. Pang Jun felt guilty, so he had to serve her with a smile all day. It was not until lunch time that Sui Lianzhu said the first sentence to him: I'm hungry, where's the food? Then Pang Jun went to get food to feed Sui Lianzhu like a lackey.

　　It was not until the evening that the beautiful woman allowed Pang Jun to hold her in his arms while she slept, but she did not allow him to touch her anymore. It was not until the third day that she walked out of the room with Pang Jun, her face flushed and full of passion.

　　In fact, even if Sui Lianzhu didn't ask him for help, Pang Jun would find a way to meet Sui Lianzhu's purchasing needs. After all, she is his woman, not to mention that part of this property is his own. So Pang Jun had already sent people to various merchants to purchase some of their stockpiled inventory. Now Songzhou can be regarded as Pang Jun's world. There is no reason for merchants and wealthy families to refuse his request.

　　After dealing with Sui Lianzhu's problem, Pang Jun needed to deal with his own affairs: Wei Jinglüe, the deputy commander of the Imperial Lion Legion, the imperially appointed General of the Eastern Expedition, the first-rank Duke of Zheng, and the head of the famous Wei family in Tianjing, had arrived in Songzhou. He sent an order to Pang Jun, asking him to rush to Yanzhou to meet him and discuss the matter of the Japanese.

　　Pang Jun once consulted Cheng Chaolun about some information about Lord Wei, the Duke of Zheng. The opinion given by Cheng Chaolun surprised him greatly: the King of Wei was the childhood playmate of the Emperor. He was a dandy in the capital in his early years. Even after getting married, he did not change much. But starting from ten years ago, he became extremely low-key, keeping a low profile. However, once he took action, it would be precise and effective. Judging from his words and deeds, he did not seem like that kind of person. Perhaps there was an expert guiding him behind the scenes. But no one could find out who the expert behind him was.

　　After hearing this comment, Pang Jun complained to himself again: "Why is it another old monster? One Fei Lin is not enough, and this time there is another Wei Jinglie. When will it end?"

　　Cheng Chaolun laughed and said, "You are still young and you are already dealing with these old foxes. You are also a great man. Why do you underestimate yourself? If Dajin did not have a considerable foundation, it would have been swallowed up by the powerful enemies around it."

　　With a cautious attitude, Pang Jun embarked on his journey to Yanzhou.

　　Yanzhou and Songzhou are hundreds of miles apart. It took Pang Jun two days on horseback to reach Yanzhou City. Pang Jun had been to Yanzhou once before when he took up his post in Songzhou, but he was in a hurry and did not stop at all. This time was the same, because he received a military order, which was as heavy as a mountain, so he bypassed Yanzhou City and went directly to the east gate of Yanzhou City, the camp of the Imperial Lion Legion, to visit Wei Jinglue.

　　What surprised Pang Jun was that when Pang Jun submitted the military order and asked to see Wei Jinglüe, the guarding soldiers looked at him with not only surprise but also admiration. However, after thinking about it for a while, Pang Jun roughly understood the reason: after all, he was an important figure who saved more than 10,000 people of the "Emperor Lion Legion", and his achievements had been circulated among the returning soldiers of the "Emperor Lion Legion".

　　"Hahahaha, I once saw Lord Liu from afar at the Qianqiu Banquet that year. Today I finally met him in person. He is indeed extraordinary!" Not long after, accompanied by a hearty laughter, a group of people who looked like generals walked out of the barracks. Leading them was a tall, dignified, and energetic middle-aged man. It seemed that this person should be Wei Jinglie, Duke of Zheng.

　　"Liu Jun meets the Duke and the generals. It is really an honor to ask the Duke and the generals to come here." Pang Jun saluted quickly.

　　"No, no, no, Lord Liu, that's not right. Marquis Changning is too polite. I almost forgot that you were conferred a title of nobility by His Majesty. Hahaha, and you are the benefactor of our 'Imperial Lion Legion', so you deserve it!" Wei Jinglue said. The generals present should all be princes and dukes of the Great Jin Dynasty, and they should have old ties with Zhang Fu's family, otherwise they would not be so polite to Pang Jun.

　　"I am honored to be here, everyone. You are all famous soldiers and pillars of the Jin Dynasty. As a junior, I am embarrassed to ask you to greet me." Pang Jun still maintained a humble attitude.

　　"Okay, okay, you, you probably stayed with that old guy Cheng Chaolun for too long, like a little old man, come in, everyone is waiting." Wei Jinglue made a "please" gesture, and Pang Jun entered the camp as he was told.

　　In the big tent, there were several generals who were studying the map of the border between Liaodong and Chaoguo. When they saw Wei Jinglue and Pang Jun coming in, they all greeted each other. Pang Jun looked around the military camp and found it was no different from an ordinary camp, except for a corner space with a layer of curtains hanging, as if there was a figure inside. However, he did not think too much about it and asked everyone: "Excuse me, generals, is there anything that Liu Jun can help with? Liu Jun will definitely do his best."

　　Wei Jinglue said seriously, "It's like this. When marching and fighting, Sun Tzu said, 'Know yourself, know the enemy, know the heavens and know the earth.' Now, we have to face the Japanese army. Not to mention their numbers and combat power, even the information about Liaodong can only be obtained from the march map. But if we want more detailed information, the only way is to make a sand table."

　　Pang Jun was surprised: "Sand table?"

　　"That's right. What I need is a sand table of the terrain near here. Now I need your help to complete the sand table near the Liaodong-Chaoguo area so that we can quickly find a way to deal with the Japanese. I heard that you held back and annihilated hundreds of Japanese 'Martial God Camp' in Lumen Mountain. I believe you are very familiar with this area. You will be responsible for the details of this part. I will send special scouts to assist you."

　　Pang Jun really wanted to shirk this thankless task. The sand table must be accurate, which required Pang Jun to lead these scouts to keep around Lumen Mountain and record geographical information. However, if there was any mistake, he would have to bear all the responsibility. What's more, Lumen Mountain is still the territory of the Japanese. Although his body has recovered almost completely, if he faces Sanada Yukioka again, he will probably be beaten and flee. This time, there will be no senior sister to help him.

　　Despite this, Pang Jun had no choice but to agree, because this was a military order and the emperor had issued an imperial decree. During the period of dealing with the Japanese, everyone in Liaodong had to obey the orders of Duke Zheng, including Fei Lin, the governor, who became the military supervisor and logistics manager. What's more, Pang Jun was only a provincial governor, and he could also use this war to make friends with the noble group in the military in the capital.

　　In addition to leading the scouts to complete the map sandbox work, Pang Jun also needs to strengthen the defense and monitor the Beihu people from the north. Although it is winter and there is heavy snow for a long time, who knows whether the Beihu people will take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. After all, Songzhou is at the junction of Dajin and Beihu.

　　The military situation was urgent. After the military meeting, Pang Jun did not plan to stay in Yanzhou City. He was ready to leave and return to Songzhou directly. But when he was about to leave the army camp, a soldier stopped him and said to him, "Lord Changning, my master wants to see you."

　　Pang Jun frowned. Why is someone looking for him again? Could it be his cheap mother-in-law, the Demon Cult Princess Gu? But logically speaking, Gu should not be so powerful that she can even use the people of the Imperial Lion Army. Could it be someone in the army? Then why did she come to me specifically? With a series of questions, Pang Jun followed the soldier out of the barracks.

　　Not far from the military camp, there is a valley with a pond in the valley, a courtyard next to the pond, and a carriage in front of the courtyard. The carriage is not luxurious, but the patterns and materials all reveal its grandeur and elegance. More importantly, on one of the nameplates of the carriage, there is a word "Wei" engraved neatly. Could it be Wei Jinglie?

　　When Pang Jun entered the courtyard and came to the living room, he was surprised again: he saw a woman sitting in the middle of the living room, with her back to Pang Jun facing the pond in the valley. The woman was wearing a bright red palace dress and had her hair tied in a bun. A set of tea sets was placed in front of her. When she heard Pang Jun's footsteps, she asked in a voice as soft as honey, "Are you here?" and turned around to look at Pang Jun.

　　When Pang Jun saw the woman in front of him, he felt his heartbeat quicken and his face flushed. This was a feeling Pang Jun had only experienced when he climbed onto Gong Qinxue's bed for the first time. But that was just the tension brought about by the first sexual experience, which was completely different from the woman he saw this time. Why was it so? The woman in front of him was about twenty years old, with peach blossom eyes with slightly upturned corners, which made her look charming and attractive. She had a high nose bridge and narrow nose wings, and her overall appearance was very delicate. Her cherry lips were full and bright red, and she was charming and beautiful. Pang Jun had never seen such a beautiful woman before, and even the most beautiful Sui Lianzhu among all his women was slightly inferior to her.

　　"Marquis Changning, please." The woman stretched out her jade hand and invited Pang Jun to take a seat.

　　After Pang Jun sat down, he could not help but look closely at the woman in front of him. She had phoenix eyes and a beautiful face, and was graceful. Her body was plump but not encumbered. Her big watery eyes flashed with a bewitching magic that made him feel a little obsessed.

　　The woman covered her mouth and said sweetly, "I heard that there are countless beauties in the Changning Marquis's mansion. How can I catch the Marquis' eye?"

　　At this time, Pang Jun came to his senses and said, "Young lady, you are joking. You are so beautiful that you can overwhelm the whole country. You are no less beautiful than a fairy from heaven. Please forgive me for being abrupt. Young lady and Duke Zheng are..."

　　"Hehe, my surname is Wei, my name is Wangshu, and Duke Zheng is my father." The woman opened her cherry lips slightly and revealed her origins.

　　After hearing this, Pang Jun took a deep breath, looked at Wei Wangshu and said, "The one sitting behind the curtain in the big tent just now should be Miss Wei, right? Who would have thought that the world would sigh that Duke Zheng is a great man of his time, and it turns out that it is because he has a good daughter like you. If you were not a gifted genius, I'm afraid the Duke would not have brought you to a dangerous place like Liaodong and listened to military discussions. Isn't it true that the Duke often sighs and regrets that you are not a man?"

　　Wei Wangshu smiled and said, "Marquis Changning is indeed an interesting person. He can deduce so many things in just a few words, hinting at things, and observing things very carefully."

　　"Miss Wei, you are too kind." Being praised by Wei Wangshu, Pang Jun actually felt a little embarrassed for the first time in his life and asked, "Miss Wei, is there something important that made you ask Liu Jun to come here today?"

　　"I want to marry you."

　　"Okay… cough cough cough… ah???!!!"
