Chapter 60: First-Class Tactics

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The following day, Mulan woke up very early to practice martial arts.

After about an hour, she showered and changed clothes.

“Xiao Bing, I have a set of blue cloth dresses, did you see it?” asked Mulan.

Besides the fanciful silk dresses, Mulan also wore cloth dresses occasionally. That was because she had to participate in the harvest of crops every spring and autumn as the eldest daughter of the Palace of the Earl. It was suitable to wear cloth dresses then.

“No,” said Xiao Bing, “after washing it a few days ago, I kept it. It disappeared?”

“Yes,” said Mulan, “how strange, I have placed it in the wardrobe.”

Then, Mulan’s beautiful face flushed and she blamed herself.

Xiao Bing said, “Miss, should I ask if anyone saw it and look for it?”

“It’s alright,” Mulan said quickly, “I probably left it in the army campsite.”

…

After eating breakfast!

Shen Lang came to Mulan and said gently and sincerely, “Dear, you must have been tired after two days and two nights of travelling.”

“Hmm,” replied Mulan.

Then, she hesitated slightly on whether she should say some things.

For example, “Hubby, did you see my dress?” 1

However, she realized she was unable to speak. After all, she was not as thick-skinned as her husband. 1

Therefore, she chose to continue reading her book.

Shen Lang said, “Dear, are you aching, I am really worried about you, should I help you massage?”

Mulan said, “You know how to massage?”

“Of course, I know how to do many things,” said Shen Lang.

Mulan said, “Then I shall trouble you.”

Mulan sat up straight and her neck was like the swan’s, proud and upright.

She was indeed beautiful.

After Shen Lang’s mood was stable, he placed his right hand on Mulan’s neck and used a little bit of strength.

There was no choice; Shen Lang’s skills were professional.

Although he could not match up to a professional massager, they were both doctors and their skills should be around the same.

Shen Lang was accurate in finding every single acupuncture point.

The strength he used was also perfect.

Therefore, Mulan felt extremely amazing, as though her muscles had been pulled and relaxed.

That was extremely comfortable.

As Shen Lang massaged Mulan, Mulan looked extremely beautiful. While watching her, one felt like sleeping but she was so beautiful that one could not bear to sleep. 3

“Dear, can you not over tire yourself in the future? It pains me to see you like that,” said Shen Lang.

As he said that, he continued to massage seriously and looked extremely concerned.

Mulan was touched but immediately regained her senses and said, “Hubby, you must have something to ask from me.”

“No, no…” Shen Lang said, “am I someone like this? Do I need a reason to provide service to my wife and feel sorry for my wife?”

Mulan said, “You really have nothing to ask from me?”

Shen Lang said, “Actually… Yes, a very small favor.”

Mulan said, “Tell me, I will do it if I can, if not, then I cannot do anything too.”

After that, she said, “For example, if you want me to ask my father to unground you, then I cannot help you. I just returned to the palace yesterday and my dad told me that you definitely cannot get out of the palace as you will be in danger.”

“Uh…”

Shen Lang stopped massaging.

“Dear, you continue reading your book. I have something to do, I shall take my leave first!”

Then, he left halfway through the massage.

Mulan was speechless!

She felt that her husband was too practical. If she did not help him, he immediately changed his attitude.

How annoying, he left halfway through the massage.

…

Shen Lang appeared behind his mother-in-law.

His massage skills became even better.

His mother-in-law was enjoying it very much and felt so comfortable that her hair was standing.

Besides that, there was a mask made by Shen Lang on her face.

“Mother-in-law, you have to use the mask every day and less than 15 minutes each time.

“The most important thing for a woman’s skin is hydration and sunblock.

“Although you already look very young, I have the responsibility to make you look the same ten years, or twenty years down the road.

“I only made ten masks in total and gave you six.”

His mother-in-law asked, “Then you gave Mulan the remaining four?”

“No, I kept them for myself,” said Shen Lang. The more handsome a guy was, the more he needed to maintain his skin.

Urgh!

At that moment, his mother-in-law did not know how to reply.

Shen Lang praised his mother-in-law’s beauty while he massaged her.

“You look like you are Mulan’s older sister now, but that may not be the case ten years later.”

His mother-in-law said, “Oh, you mean I will age faster ten years later?”

“No, I meant you may look like her younger sister ten years later,” said Shen Lang, there is something called reverse aging. Although it is a miracle, it could happen.”

After 15 minutes.

Shen Lang finished his massage and asked, “How do you feel, mother-in-law?”

“Very comfortable and relaxed. You are the most caring amongst all my children,” said his mother-in-law, “Mulan is still alright, but Mucong makes me angry whenever I see him.”

Shen Lang said, “I thought we were fated when I first saw you, as though I saw my own mother.”

His mother-in-law said, “You are married to Mulan, so I am considered your own mother, right?”

Shen Lang said immediately, “Mother!”

“Good boy…” his mother-in-law said, “Lang’er, you have something to ask from me, right?”

Shen Lang said, “Mother-in-law, you are indeed good at interpretation.”

His mother-in-law said, “Speak.”

Shen Lang said, “I have something to do outside, I hope father-in-law can unground me.”

His mother-in-law’s expression became serious and said, “Lang’er, you really have to go out? Your father-in-law grounded you because of your safety.”

Shen Lang said, “Yes, I have to go out.”

After thinking about it for a while, his mother-in-law said, “Alright, I will talk to your father-in-law.”

After 15 minutes.

Shen Lang was ungrounded.

This showed that everything was possible, as long as one found the correct person.

He was familiar with the Palace of the Earl. 1

Shen Lang listened to Mulan, Mulan listened to the Earl, the Earl listened to his wife, while the Earl’s wife listened to Shen Lang. 2

Look, what a perfect cycle. 1

What? You asked where Mucong was?

Sorry, he does not exist in the elite cycle. 1

There was a famous saying that went…

Eat, sleep, and play!

That was where Jin Mucong belonged. 2

…

In the City Lord’s residence.

Liu Wuyan’s servant rushed into the study room.

“Master, the governor had already left Nujiang County and would reach the Palace of the Earl of Xuanwu tonight. The Chief is accompanying him.”

Liu Wuyan was instantly overjoyed.

He was prepared but lacked the crucial element.

Now, the crucial element was fulfilled!

“Inform Tian Heng to prepare now, we shall act tonight,” said Liu Wuyan.

“Roger!” His servant ran out.

Liu Wuyan said emotionlessly, “Shen Lang, I have never targeted you. My target is the Palace of the Earl of Xuanwu, but you are blocking my way. Therefore, you are destined to die this time.”

“Earl of Xuanwu, I shall see how you survive this round?”

…

Before he left the Palace of the Earl, Shen Lang looked for Jin Hui and asked a few questions.

“Song Yi went to look for Tian Heng in the Xuanwu City?”

Jin Hui said, “Yes.”

Then, Shen Lang left secretly.

After leaving the Palace of the Earl, Shen Lang did not go home.

Instead, he went to a forest.

“Sigh, what is the most important thing to be a person? Conquer one’s shamelessness.”

“In order to win against Tian Heng and Liu Wuyan, I have to make some sacrifices.”

Shen Lang comforted himself repeatedly.

Wasn’t it just a woman’s clothing? If Sima Yi1 could wear it, why couldn’t he?

In order to kill Tian Heng, he had to pay the price.

He had to break some prohibitions and try new things.

Shen Lang wore Mulan’s blue cloth dress and became a beautiful… man who was dressed as a woman. 3

Then, he headed to a certain place. 1
