Princess Zhi Ning's body had been untouched for a long time. She was not affected at first, but now, she was ignited. She was like a wildfire in the wilderness, burning endlessly.
The two of them tossed and turned for nearly four hours.
They convulsed for countless times and almost fainted before the flames in her body were completely extinguished.
Finally, Zhi Ning collapsed on the bed and did not even want to move her toes.
Søren was fine. As long as he did not encounter a stunner like Jung Yeon, as long as he did not absorb Dragon Power or use Spiritual Spells, he was more than capable of handling Zhi Ning.
Four hours later, there was a knock on the door, followed by the baby's crying.
"You go, I can't move," Jinning said lazily. Her jade-like hand, which had been raised halfway, fell down powerlessly.
Søren wrapped himself in a bedsheet and walked over to open the door.
He immediately saw Fang Qingzhuo, whose face was flushed.
She smelled the familiar scent of a man and a woman, so strong that she felt dizzy.
"I, I didn't mean to ruin it, but the baby is crying," Fang Qingzhuo said in a trembling voice, "I can't calm him down. He's forcing himself not to sleep."
The baby was crying so hard that his face was red. When he saw his father, he pouted and was about to cry again.
He had not been away from his mother for such a long time. He was with his mother every moment of the day.
"Thank you, sister-in-law," Søren said and took the baby.
Fang Qingzhuo peeked into the room. Zhi Ning was lying there naked, as if her soul had left her body.
Instantly, her face turned even redder. She immediately turned and ran away.
Søren smiled and closed the door.
After returning to the room, Søren lay on the bed and placed the baby in Zhi Ning's arms.
The baby easily found his favorite, sucked on it a few times, and then fell asleep sweetly.
Usually, he would be asleep at this time, but he wasn't by his mother's side today, so he forced himself to stay awake. Now that he was tired, he immediately fell asleep as soon as he returned to his mother's side.
Søren got up and fetched some hot water. He used a towel to wipe Zhi Ning's body and himself. Then, he returned to the bed and hugged Zhi Ning and her son to sleep peacefully.
At this moment, Zhi Ning really felt endless happiness flowing around her body.
Ever since she was young, she had never relied on anyone, including Zhi Li.
After returning to Fengdu, she spent most of her time helping Zhi Li instead of relying on Zhi Li.
Now, she had put down the heavy burden in her heart, and there was someone by her side who she could rely on. This feeling was too warm, too safe.
She was very sleepy and wanted to sleep, but she couldn't bear to sleep. She wanted to enjoy this feeling of happiness and safety.
There was a cute baby in her arms, sleeping sweetly with her nipples in his mouth. Next to her, there was a beloved man holding her, gently caressing her smooth waist and buttocks.
In this wonderful happiness, Zhi Ning finally fell asleep.
…
The next morning, while Søren and Zhi Ning were still sleeping, there was suddenly a low knock on the door.
This kind of knock could wake up Søren, but it wouldn't wake the baby.
Søren opened his eyes. There must be something urgent, otherwise Zhuang Zhixuan would never wake him up at this time.
Immediately, he carefully pulled his arm away from Zhi Ning's body.
Zhi Ning opened her beautiful eyes in a daze and said in a soft voice, "What's wrong?"
"There's something I need to deal with," Søren said.
"Okay." Zhi Ning closed her eyes in a daze and continued to sleep.
Søren kissed her forehead and the baby's forehead, then got up and went to open the door.
When Zhuang Zhixuan saw Søren's naked body, her face blushed and she secretly spat.
"What's the matter?" Søren asked as he walked outside.
The maids had already prepared the bath, and many of the maids here were old servants of the Suo residence.
At that time, after Søren was forced to leave King City, he dismissed the servants and maids in the Count's residence and entrusted them to Duke Feng Ting.
After the King bestowed this residence to Jung Yeon as the Princess Residence, Duke Feng Ting resettled the servants and maids in the Princess Residence, so at this time, half of the people in the residence were old servants of the Suo clan.
The maids fought to bathe Søren and took the opportunity to take advantage of him.
"Alright, there's something to discuss, you guys can leave first." Søren lay comfortably in the bathtub and said with a smile.
"Oh." A few pretty maids walked out unwillingly, and before they left, they even touched Søren's chest. They really didn't know who was playing hooligan.
These maids of the Suo clan had been impolite to Søren since they were young, and they treated him like family. Moreover, that wastrel Søren was really f * cked, he had slept with all the beautiful maids.
So now, Søren was very worried about the maids' marriage.
"What's the matter?" Søren asked.
"The Shadow Pavilion sent a message, they have caught Fu Qi." Zhuang Zhixuan said, "He's extremely cunning. He actually didn't flee to Flame Worship City but hid in the wilderness of the countryside a few hundred kilometers away. That's why it took so long to capture him."
Why did Søren want to catch Fu Qi? Was it to force Marquis Fu E to speak?
He wanted to get a secret from Fu E, the secret of why he went crazy with Zhi Li to the end.
Zhi Li assassinated the King and forcefully ascended the throne, it was a narrow escape from death. And with Fu E's status, there was no need for him to go crazy with them, so why did he do it? There must be a reason, and it involved a shocking secret.
However, even if Marquis Fu E's limbs were broken, he was still unwilling to speak.
So, Søren sent people to capture Fu Qi. Marquis Fu E could not care less about his own life, but he still had to protect his grandson, right?
Fu E did not like his son Fu Xian, feeling that he was too useless, but he liked his grandson Fu Qi very much.
Fu Qi was very domineering and fierce, but Marquis Fu E felt that it was very spirited.
So, Marquis Fu E even decided that when he passed away, he would directly pass the position of Lord of Flame to his grandson Fu Qi.
Once he caught Fu Qi, he could use his life to threaten Fu E, then he would probably compromise.
Of course, it was still unknown whether the secret from Fu E's mouth would be useful, but Søren could feel that this secret was very important, even shocking.
"How long until Fu Qi can be brought back?" Søren asked.
"In the evening, we should be able to bring him back to Royal City," Zhuang Zhixuan said.
Søren nodded, then leaned back on the bathtub, closed his eyes, and enjoyed Zhuang Zhixuan's service.
"Be careful of premature aging," Zhuang Zhixuan suddenly said.
"I won't," Søren said, "as long as it is not that demon Jung Yeon, it will be fine. A female leopard like you, I can handle three at a time. "
"You're bragging," Zhuang Zhixuan said.
As she spoke, her breathing gradually quickened, and the towel she was using to clean Søren's body also moved downwards.
Søren reached behind her and touched her firm and round buttocks.
"You, you really want to give it to me?" Zhuang Zhixuan said, "Then, then hurry up, we have to go to the palace to be on duty soon."
After saying that, Zhuang Zhixuan took off her skintight leather clothes, but she did not take them off completely, only up to her thighs, and then laid her upper body on the edge of the bathtub.
Søren was startled, "Didn't you just advise me not to do it?"
Zhuang Zhixuan said, "You're so annoying, you must give it to me just because you said so. Hurry up, someone will be here soon. "
…
When returning to the palace to be on duty, Søren occasionally knocked on the back of her waist, which made Zhuang Zhixuan blush.
The blush on her beautiful face did not fade from beginning to end.
Jung Yeon felt extremely happy because she had a man to rely on, and she could be with the baby and watch him grow up day by day.
At this time, Zhuang Zhixuan also felt extremely happy.
She did not like to use her brain, and she only had one ability, which was to be good at martial arts and fighting.
Søren was always protecting the Raging Wave Kingdom, and she, Zhuang Zhixuan, was always protecting Søren, which made her feel very fulfilled and full of value.
Moreover, she was protecting the man she loved the most.
Although she was not his wife, Zhuang Zhixuan and Søren spent far more time together than Søren's wife, and even more time than Princess Jung Yeon.
This also made Zhuang Zhixuan feel particularly satisfied.
She basically did not come into contact with Søren's wives, except Yan Nair.
In her opinion, Yan Nair was the most lovely woman among Søren's wives. She was straightforward, dared to love and hate, and had the courage to sacrifice herself.
Moreover, both of them were martial arts addicts and often exchanged martial arts together.
When in the capital, Zhuang Zhixuan occasionally had some contact with Princess Jung Yeon. But most of the time, it was Zhuang Zhixuan who consulted Jung Yeon about martial arts.
Zhuang Zhixuan had never seen the Prince of Dongli, Jiang Shang, so in her eyes, the person with the highest martial arts was Princess Jung Yeon!
How high was Jung Yeon's martial arts? In Zhuang Zhixuan's opinion, it was completely bottomless.
In short, until now, Jung Yeon had never met any opponent.
Princess Jung Yeon was only a few years older than Søren. She was so young, but her martial arts was so high. Zhuang Zhixuan was really curious. How did Jung Yeon practice martial arts?
She also heard that the most outstanding person in the entire Dragon Temple was Ji Mengbai.
She did not know who was better in martial arts, Jung Yeon or Ji Mengbai.
Moreover, Princess Jung Yeon seemed to be very obsessed with martial arts. After entering the capital, she almost never appeared in the palace.
Previously, she was protecting Fang Qingzhuo and her daughter in the princess' residence. Now that the Raging Wave Kingdom was completely safe, she still did not come to the palace. Instead, she meditated in the princess' residence and practiced.
In Princess Jung Yeon's world, there seemed to be only two things. The first was to practice martial arts. The second was to make love with Søren.
As for the rest, she did not care about anything else.
As for Princess Jung Yeon, Zhuang Zhixuan could not see through her at all. She had no idea what this fairy-like woman wanted.
What was the relationship between her and Søren?
The husband and wife relationship between her and Søren seemed to be more affectionate than any other husband and wife.
This was because Princess Jung Yeon never had any contact with other men, not even a word. In front of others, she was always an aloof fairy who didn't eat the food of mortals.
But in front of Søren, she was more than a vixen. More than a stunner. She simply surpassed any slut in the world. Every time in bed, she would make Søren feel like dying.
However, she and Søren seemed to be very distant.
Although the two of them were together every day, they rarely talked to each other. They would only communicate with each other when it was something very important.
Moreover, there were many women around Søren. Princess Jung Yeon was not jealous at all.
Even when these women were under the eyes of Jung Yeon, she was not unhappy.
There was no woman in this world who was not jealous, including Yan Nair. Every time a woman mentioned Søren, she would be very bitter and her eyes would turn red.
She even specially made a skin figurine in her room with Søren's face painted on it. Every night, Yan Nair would beat the skin figurine up before she could sleep.
How could a woman not be jealous? But Jung Yeon did not.
Of course, perhaps Princess Jung Yeon's realm was too high, so Zhuang Zhixuan could not see clearly.
…
"Your Excellency, the confiscation of the properties of Zoff and the 25 greedy men has been completely completed. The seized gold coins have also begun to be transported to the King's Gold." Gao Yin's face could not hide the joy on his face. He was holding a thick stack of account books in his hand.
Søren said, "How much property was confiscated in total?"
Gao Yin said, "You will never believe it. The total property confiscated from the 26 greedy men is 9.79 million gold coins."
This number was completely jaw-dropping. It was a full six years' worth of taxes in the Raging Wave Kingdom.
Gao Yin said, "There are still many hidden properties that have not been calculated. After the calculation, this number will increase and even exceed 11 million gold coins."
Heavens! It has only been a few years!
The greed of the kingdom had actually risen to such a scale.
If this was allowed to continue, this group of greedy men would devour the entire Raging Wave Kingdom.
However, many of the properties confiscated were valuable books, antiques, manors, fields, and real estate.
"How much cash?" Søren asked.
"5.92 million gold coins." Gao Yin said, "The rest of the property has to be auctioned to be exchanged for gold coins. A larger part of it is real estate. It will take a longer time to liquidate it."
5.92 million gold coins, all in cash!
Just over twenty greedy families had taken away nearly six million gold coins in cash.
With this, the deficit of Zhi Li's misappropriation of the people's savings could be filled. Not only that, there would also be gold coins to maintain the operation of the Raging Wave Kingdom. There would be no need to worry about money for at least half a year.
"Then don't liquidate it for the time being." Søren said, "These real estate will be left as the property of the royal family. The profits generated will be directly transferred to the palace treasury."
"Yes, Your Excellency." Gao Yin said.
Søren said, "Next, we will start to reorganize the royal family's property. As for the corrupt spies inside, those who should be arrested should be arrested, and those who should be killed should be killed! This group of royal family slaves actually colluded with the Yin Yuan Association to fill their own pockets. They should be killed! "
"Yes, Your Excellency!" Gao Yin said.
Søren said, "There are other corrupt nobles in Sof's account book. There are more than a hundred of them, but the scale of their corruption is smaller. Send someone to warn them and make them hand over the corrupt money. That way, they will have a chance to live. Don't force me to start a massacre. "
Gao Yin said, "Yes, and we can also make them report each other."
Søren hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's fine if they report each other. Once they do that, the country will be in a mess."
"Yes, Your Excellency." Gao Yin immediately knelt down and said, "This old servant has spoken too much."
Søren hurriedly went forward to help him up. "Gao Weng is my elder. You must not do this."
Gao Yin stood up and stood to the side.
Søren said, "In short, this crisis has finally passed. But we will need money in many areas. Among the four major armies, the Dragon Guard and the Southwest Army almost have to be rebuilt. This will require an astronomical amount of gold coins. As for the Southeast Army, it will be independent from our Tianshui City's army and restored to its 200,000-strong army. This will also require a large amount of money. "
"In the next few years, the Dragon Temple will have a large-scale internal strife and will have no time to care about us. This will be the golden period for our development," Søren said heroically, "In three years, I will restore the Raging Wave Kingdom to its peak. In five years, I will have the kingdom's frontline army exceed a million, establish the Southeast Camp, and open up the road to the south! "
Gao Yin was also excited and said, "In this way, in 20 years, the Raging Wave Kingdom will expand thousands of miles and can have four or five more provinces. When the Young Lord inherits the throne, our Raging Wave Kingdom will already be the strongest country in the universe. "
Søren laughed and said, "Gao Weng, thank you for your auspicious words."
…
In the evening!
The Shadow Pavilion's warriors escorted Fu Qi into Royal City.
After fleeing for more than ten days, Fu Qi seemed to have become a completely different person. From a noble young master, he became a beggar. His face was dirty, his hair was like weeds, and there was not an inch of his body that was clean.
After seeing Søren, Fu Qi first put on a brave front and said, "Søren, you don't dare to do anything to me. My aunt is the Dragon Temple's judge. "
Soran faintly said, "The aunt you're talking about is my mother. She's been arrested. Zhi Li has the blood of the devil. In his confession, Fu Lingxi's name was mentioned. Yesterday, she was taken to the Yanjing Temple for trial. "
"Impossible, impossible, impossible …" Fu Qi screamed and struggled desperately.
The Shadow Pavilion's warriors stepped forward and slapped him, causing his mouth and nose to bleed.
Soon, Fu Qi calmed down.
Then, he knelt and kowtowed to Søren.
"Søren, let me go, let me go!" Fu Qi cried and begged, "I'm your cousin, my sister Fu Yan 'er is your woman, and I'm Qinqin's uncle!"
Søren looked at him disdainfully and waved his hand. "Go, take him to the prison!"
Since Fu Qi was caught, Søren didn't believe that Fu E wouldn't speak!
Now that the Raging Wave Kingdom was safe, the only thing hanging in Søren's mind was Marquis Fu E's secret.
Of course, there might be people who said that Jung Yeon could use psychic spells to dig out this secret.
This was very difficult. Marquis Fu E was different from Sauf. He had a close relationship with the Dragon Temple, so he must have learned psychic defense spells and psychic deception spells.
At that time, a group of people from the Dragon Temple couldn't extract the secret of the devil's blood from Aslo's mind.
Therefore, Jung Yeon couldn't extract anything from Fu E's mind either.
However, using Fu Qi's life should be able to force him to speak, because Fu Qi was Fu E's last hope.
As Fu Qi struggled and begged for mercy, Søren and his party headed to the Black Dragon Platform's prison to interrogate Fu E!
However …
When they were a few hundred meters away from the Black Dragon Platform's prison!
Suddenly, a few Shadow Pavilion's warriors rushed over and knelt on the ground. They said in a trembling voice, "Duke, Fu E suddenly died!"
Sauron trembled violently. Fu E was dead?
His cheap grandfather had died at this critical moment?
He died before he could speak! Was it suicide? Or was it murder?
Was he killed to keep his mouth shut?
