He’s Super Sticky

Xie Zhengyi closed the door of the private room and walked over to pick up Bai Chen who was sitting on the chair, and sat down by himself, letting Bai Chen sit on his lap.

He kissed Bai Chen first, and then picked up the document on the table, rubbed his thumb on it, showing a sarcastic smile.

“This crown prince of Lian country is really good at calculating.”

Bai Chen put his arms around Xie Zhengyi’s neck, his whole body nestled in his arms. He glanced at the document and withdrew his gaze indifferently: “Reciprocity.”

The document Lian Fengrui handed to Bai Chen was specially made. If placed in a confined space for a period of time, it will spontaneously ignite.

These two documents were originally meant to restrict each other. After all, a man who exchanged the son of the general protecting the country for enemy emperor two important and confidential maps of Huxiao City, a person who gave the country’s important secret maps to the enemy country in exchange for support to regain the imperial power, no matter what they say, they will be punish by their own citizens and even courtiers.

The country protector general of Lian Country made great contributions to Lian Country, for whatever purpose, it doesn’t matter if it was exchanged for anything important, if Lian Fengrui does that, it will chill the hearts of the people in Lian Country. Similarly, Huxiao City in DaYan Country is of great significance to DaYan. Bai Chen’s deal with Huxiao City and Lian Fengrui will shake the capital of the country, the whole country will definitely disagree.

When the two hold the stamped document, they are also holding each other’s handles.

And Lian Fengrui used specially made documents to destroy the documents in Bai Chen’s hands. Wiping away his own handle without a sound, at the same time, he held Bai Chen’s handle in his hand, wanting to attempt to threaten him in the future.

This is not just wishful thinking.

However, Lian Fengrui was destined to be disappointed. He was not the only one who manipulated the documents, Bai Chen did too.

Xie Zhengyi heard Bai Chen talk about his plan long before he came to the appointment. This will be Bai Chen’s exchange of courtesy. Xie Zhengyi thought of Bai Chen’s plan, he laughed, holding Bai Chen, the corners of his eyes and brows full of pride: “My baby is amazing.”

After returning to the palace, Xie Zhengyi asked the shadow guard to take the tokens of the general’s son to Lian Country according to the plan. So as to cast doubts, misleading the protector general to attribute the reason for his only son’s disappearance to Lian Country imperial family. The trust and affection between the general protector of the country and the imperial family of Lian Country will create a gap.

As for Qi Country, who worked privately with Lian Country before Bai Chen and Lian Fengrui met secretly, Xie Zhengyi deliberately let out the rumors to the spies who infiltrated DaYan to mislead the other party into thinking that Lian Country wants to secretly form an alliance with DaYan Country to deal with Qi Country.

It would be estimated that the spies were already rushing back to Qi Country to inform Emperor Qi of this “important news”.

Not long after Lian Fengrui returned to Lian Country, Lian Country officially launched an attack on Huxiao City.
Bai Chen sat in the imperial study room and Xie Zhengyi watched the battle report from Huxiao city, ignoring the serious expressions of several ministers below, the two looked relaxed.

“Report to emperor, Lord Qiansui, this time Lian County is very aggressive. It seems that there is a premeditated plan and sufficient preparations to take down Huxiao City. On the side, there is also Qi Country staring like a tiger. Although Huxiao City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, however, general Lin, who was defending the city, was still inexperienced. The minister suggested that the Northwest Army be transferred to support, pressure by quantity.” A minister said worriedly.

Since the former emperor killed Xie Zhongguo, he also killed several generals who had a good relationship with Xie Zhongguo, as a result, the number of generals who can really use troops in the country has dropped dramatically. Not only that, the former emperor also let the related household[the chinese meaning is a group of well-connected people/family. Most likely talking about the high status family[/footnote] enter the barrack to take charge of important positions to suppress those generals. Those remaining available generals were completely chilled to the heart, those who retired and returned home, retired and returned home, those who held their ground and stuck to one side were indifferent to worldly affairs. So now there is no military general available in the court. There are only some wine sacks and rice bags1useless people that can only eat and drink and not do anything; ridiculing incompetent people in the army with foxes borrowing the tiger’s might2to rely on powerful connection (other people power) to intimidate/oppress other..

Now, although those wine sacks and rice bags have been removed by Xie Zhengyi, the newly promoted generals are all newcomers after all, with limited abilities. Under the attack of Lian and Qi, they didn’t know if they could hold Huxiao City. Faced with such a situation, the ministers could not help but worry.

“No, not possible.” Another minister heard the words and stood up and said: “The Northwest Army cannot be moved. The barbarians in the Northwest have been watching, if the Northwest Army is transferred away, how can the Northwest be defended?”

“This…” the minister who previously suggested also seemed to realize this problem, he couldn’t help feeling awkward.

“No then, why don’t we invite General Zhao back to take charge in the city?” a minister suggested.

General Zhao was the most famous general in the former emperor’s period, second only to Xie Zhonggou. After Xie Zhongguo died and the former emperor began to suppress the generals again, Zhao Zhonggou was disheartened and with the former emperor meaning, he directly handed in his military token and returned back to his hometown.

“That’s a good idea.”

“It is feasible.”

For a while, the ministers all agreed, feeling that this is a great idea.

‘Knock. Knock’. Xie Zhengyi knocked on the bookcase. “General Zhao is now over 60 years old. He really shouldn’t be exhausted.”

Everyone was taken aback, they just seemed to remembered that with General Zhao’s age, he was no longer suitable for the battlefield.

Xie Zhengyi didn’t wait for them to show their disappointment before continuing: “don’t worry too much about this, this time, I’ll personally go to Huxiao City to take charge.”

Some of the ministers standing there became even more worried in an instant. Although Xie Zhengyi is very talented in political affairs in the imperial court, but in the end he did not learn the art of war and has never been involved in a war so how can he have the ability to take charge of Huxiao City? Wouldn’t it be a mess if he goes!

Some of those ministers subconsciously opened their mouths wanting to stop Xie Zhengyi’s plan but several important officials standing in front knelt down and agreed with Xie Zhengyi’s plan, looking quite excited.

The ministers looked dumbfounded.

However, this matter is not over.

Bai Chen, who was sitting on the dragon throne, suddenly stood up: “In order to better motivate the soldiers, I decided to take a personal expedition to boost their morale.”

The entire imperial study room suddenly quieted down under Bai Chen’s voice.

Even the few excited officials just now frowned.

Although Bai Chen’s behavior has changed a bit these days, but in the eyes of the ministers, he is still the former fatuous emperor, it is just that he has been quieter recently.

As for the fatuous emperor going out to fight, that seemed like a mess to them.

For a while, everyone spoke up and tried to persuade Bai Chen to give up this idea under various excuses for Bai Chen’s good. However, Bai Chen was not moved at all and insisted on going it himself.

Unable to persuade, everyone turned their attention to Xie Zhengyi.

Only Xie Zhengyi can control the emperor!

Who knew that Xie Zhengyi nodded under the eyes of everyone, also added: “My DaYan Country, Lian Country, and Qi is the third Country. Now, Lian country and Qi country joined forces to encroach on the territory of our country, wanting to take down our Huxiao City. At this critical moment, the emperor personally going will boost morale, it will make the war easier. Then there is the additional dragon aura, my DaYan country is bound to be invincible.”

Everyone was shocked by Xie Zhengyi’s high-sounding words, only Bai Chen showed a sweet smile in Xie Zhengyi’s direction.

The matter of Bai Chen’s imperial expedition was decided just like that. So then Xie Zhengyi began to decide who would stay in the court and preside over governmental affairs.

After arranging the candidates, Xie Zhengyi began to prepare for Bai Chen’s personal expedition. A few days later, Xie Zhengyi and Bai Chen both wore armors and rode tall horses with thousands of soldiers to Huxiao City.

It was half a month later when the two arrived at Huxiao City. At this time, the soldiers of Huxiao City had already fought three times with Lian Country army. Every time it was a miserable defeat.

Of course, this fiasco was just miserable on the surface, but when it comes to the details, in fact, Lian country lost more troops than them. It’s just that the soldiers of Huxiao City are better at acting, so much so that Lian Country thought that Huxiao City had lost.

Bai Chen and Xie Zhengyi secretly instructed the generals of Huxiao City to act like this on purpose. Naturally, the reason is to set up Lian Fengrui, make him think that the two maps are real so that Bai Chen has an excuse to let Lian Fengrui fulfill his promise to ‘remove Xie Zhengyi’.

Because of the disappearance of his only son, the general protector of the country is now confronting the imperial family under the guidance of Bai Chen so he did not appear on this battlefield. At present, the general Lian Country send to confront Huxiao City is a general under Lian Fengrui.

Bai Chen wanted to use Lian Fengrui’s hand to get rid of that general and affect Lian Country army morale.

So a few days after Bai Chen and Xie Zhengyi came to Huxiao City, after Xie Zhengyi led a ‘difficult’ victory, Lian Fengrui, as Bai Chen thought, secretly contacted Bai Chen and said that he would fulfill the contract. He will get rid of Xie Zhengyi for Bai Chen.

Bai Chen looked at the words on the note in his hand that asked him to lead Xie Zhengyi into the trap that Lian Fengrui had arranged in advance, his eyes were cold, he snorted coldly, put the strip of paper on the candle burning it to ashes.

When Xie Zhengyi came back from the outside, he saw Bai Chen burning the note. In an instant, he understood. He walked over and held Bai Chen into his arms. He buried his head in Bai Chen’s neck, greedily taking in Bai Chen scent: “Baby, is it Lian Fengrui?”

The coldness on Bai Chen’s body disappeared instantly when Xie Zhengyi hugged him. He nodded, turned around, and hugged Xie Zhengyi’s thin waist, pout and kissed Xie Zhengyi.

Ever since Xie Zhengyi came to Huxiao City, he was very busy, often coming and going in a hurry. Sometimes he can’t even come back in time to accompany Bai Chen for dinner so don’t mention about having time to get intimate with Bai Chen.

At this moment, Bai Chen’s proactive kiss undoubtedly ignited the flames in his heart. He no longer cares about other things, he can only put all his thoughts on Bai Chen’s lips.

Bai Chen looked at Xie Zhengyi like this and took the initiative to open his mouth so that Xie Zhengyi could kiss him more deeply.

He doesn’t know how long it took, Xie Zhengyi finally restrained himself and let go of Bai Chen, who was unable to breathe. He reached out and scratched Bai Chen’s nose with a spoiled tone: “Just indulging me like that?”

Bai Chen held his hands on Xie Zhengyi’s chest, looking up at Xie Zhengyi’s black eyes that never seemed to change no matter which world he was in. He panted and answered with his kissed red lips open: “I thought about it too.”
His eyes were clear and earnest, full of affection for Xie Zhengyi. Xie Zhengyi almost suffocated when he saw it.

Baby, this is blatantly seducing him!

Xie Zhengyi suddenly realized.

He thought about the next trip in his mind and determined that he had two hours of free time before leaving so he no longer restrained himself, he picked up Bai Chen and walked to the inner room.

For a time, the room was full of spring.

Three days later, Lian Country once again attacked Huxiao City, and Xie Zhengyi led the troops to fight.

When the fight was fiercest, Bai Chen suddenly appeared on the battlefield, holding a long sword and riding a horse aggressively, he charged towards Lian Country general, wanting to cut off Lian Country general head.

Lian Country general hurriedly resisted, the weapon in the hands of the emperor who ‘has no power to tie the chicken’ Bai Chen instantly flew away. At the same time, his eyes lit up when he looked at the bright yellow dragon robe that Bai Chen was wearing and shouted: “DaYan Emperor! Hahaha, I got you now, sacrifice your dog’s life to heaven!”

Bai Chen was a little nervous after losing his weapon, after hearing what the general said, he immediately turned the horse’s head, wanting to rush out of the battlefield.

When Lian Country general saw that Bai Chen was about to run away, he immediately ran after him on horseback.
Xie Zhengyi on the side saw this situation, with a single shot he got rid of Lian Country soldiers who had surrounded him just now, then he chased after them.

For the time being, the generals of both countries left the battlefield hastily.

However, the soldiers of the two countries did not lose their direction because they temporarily lost the command of the general. After Lian Country general and Xie Zhengyi left, the two sides soon came up with a person in charge of the situation, they all seemed to be ready. Those who command their respective camps fight together with even more desperate moves.

The clanging of weapons mixing with the cries of soldiers altogether, the rich bloody smell sprayed on everyone’s nose.

Here, Bai Chen ran out of the battlefield on horseback, going farther and farther away from the battlefield, he slowly ran into a mountain col, while Lian Country general and Xie Zhengyi chased behind Bai Chen at the fastest speed.

Bai Chen ran, suddenly stopped the horse under him, and turned to look at Lian Country general and Xie Zhengyi.
Seeing this, Lian Country general saw a glimmer of ambition in his eyes. Like Bai Chen, he suddenly stopped the horse, and then commanded the dozen soldiers who had just been brought out to surround Xie Zhengyi who was following behind.

“Xie Zhengyi, today is your day of death.” The enemy general said with a laugh.

Xie Zhengyi stopped his horse calmly, just rode on the horse, looking at the enemy general expressionlessly.

“I really want to thank you, emperor. You cooperated so well, allowing me to hit the mark.” The enemy general said proudly, he clapped his hands. Suddenly, a hundred soldiers of Lian Country appeared from the grass. Xie Zhengyi and dozens of other people were surrounded.

Xie Zhengyi is still very calm, he lift eye, a pair of deep black eyes look at Lian country general coldly: “Are you sure?”

Lian country general was stunned. Suddenly, a foreboding feeling rose up in his heart.

The next moment his hunch came true.

Those soldiers who came out of the grass and dressed in Lian Country clothes suddenly moved neatly and took off the outer armor, revealing the symbol of the DaYan inside. After taking off, their spear heads turned together and pointed the tip of the spear at Lian Country general and a dozen other personal soldiers.

Looking at this scene, how could Lian Country general still don’t understand. From start to finish, it was a trap that led him into the game, and his people had been replaced long ago. He turned his head angrily and looked at Bai Chen, who had already dismounted, not far away: “You lied to his highness?”

Lian Country general’s heart fell straight into the endless abyss. He didn’t expect that he would be deceived by the rumored fatuous emperor of DaYan.

And judging from this tactic, the other party probably has always been pretending, thinking of this, he couldn’t help being a little worried, what else did this fatuous emperor lie to his royal highness? Could it be that those maps are also fake?

Thinking of the soldiers who were still on the battlefield and the strategy he had laid out in accordance with the maps, the general’s eyes turned red. He directly asked, “Those maps are also fake?”

Bai Chen looked up at the other person, he was too lazy to answer. He raised his head and glanced at the sun, and then looked at Xie Zhengyi: “Kill them soon and let’s go back.”

Xie Zhengyi gave Bai Chen a soothing look, and then ordered coldly.

The huge disparity in the number of people brought the battle to an end quickly. Xie Zhengyi ordered his men to deal with the corpses on the ground, telling the cronies to cut off the general head and bring it then ride the horse to Bai Chen.

Bai Chen looked at Xie Zhengyi riding under the sun, with a smile on his face, he stretched out his hand towards Xie Zhengyi.

As soon as Xie Zhengyi grasped Bai Chen’s hand, with a powerful grasp, he pulled Bai Chen to his horse and put him in front of him.

Lian Country was defeated very quickly. Because of the wrong guidance from the maps, the strategy made by Lian Country general was not only useless but they also fell into the trap that Bai Chen and Xie Zhengyi had set long ago. In addition, Xie Zhengyi hung Lian Country general’s head on the city gate. For a while, Lian Country lost their morale and the army was defeated and fell like mountain.

Xie Zhengyi struck while the iron was hot, directly led his troops into Lian Country city, taking it and at the same time, 10000 soldiers from Lian Country were captured.

Lian Fengrui, who was far away in the Imperial City of Lian, heard the news of the death of the general and the loss of the city a few days later. His whole body shook and almost fainted, at the same time he realized that he had been tricked.

He gritted his teeth, walked quickly into the study, took out the contract document that was given to Bai Chen and him, his eyes darkened. He wanted to make a final struggle before the emperor became angry with him, but before he could act, the country’s general protector suddenly rushed into his manor with someone.

Bai Chen leaned against Xie Zhengyi’s arms and looked at the news from the spy, and slowly yawned.

After taking down the city on the border of Lian Country, Bai Chen used a special powder exchanged by the system to modify the previous document of the agreement with Lian Fengrui. He erased the transaction between him and Lian Fengrui, instead forged it as a cooperation document between Lian Fengrui and Qi, and one of the trading condition was the only son of the protector general.

Bai Chen secretly sent the revised documents to the residence of protector general. Only then did the protector general lead his troops into Lian Fengrui Prince’s Mansion in a rage. Of course, Bai Chen not only changed his one, but at the same time, the system secretly changed the copy in Lian Fengrui’s hand too.

With the conclusive evidence, the General Protector directly led Lian Fengrui into the palace, demanding that the emperor refuse to cooperate with Qi and ask Qi to return his son, otherwise, he would stay in the capital and wouldn’t send any troops to retake the fallen city from DaYan.

Lian Country Emperor was stunned by this incident. Later, he learned from Lian Fengrui’s mouth that everything was plan by DaYan Country. Angrily, he imprisoned Lian Fengrui, who caused this incident, in the cell. Then he tried to explain the cause and effect to the general protector, but the general protector only believed the evidence he had and wouldn’t let go. Helpless, Lian emperor, who had already lost one of his generals, was afraid that the temperamental protector general would make a fuss and really didn’t go to defend the city. Unable to do anything, he can only temporarily cut off their cooperation with Qi.

However, Qi Country really misunderstood, thinking that Lian country was cooperating with DaYan and wanted to take action against them.

For this reason, there was also hostility from the general protector who lost his son to Qi country, so the atmosphere between the two countries suddenly became tense.

The General Protector also frequently asked Qi Country to hand over his son. Qi Country thought that this was a conspiracy from Lian Country, they deliberately looked for trouble, so they fought back and now the two countries are at odds.

Seeing that things were almost done, Bai Chen released the general protector’s son back. In order to make the General protector more convinced that his son was kidnapped by Qi, he deliberately asked someone to act to confuse the General protector’s son.

So after finding his son, the General protector almost fought Qi Country.

After confirming that the alliance between the two countries broke down, and the generals of Lian Country and the general protector no longer trust Lian Country as they used to, Xie Zhengyi took advantage of this victory to attack together with Qi Country.

They’re already dissatisfied, in the face of the attack from two major countries, after two years of perseverance, Lian Country completely fell into the hands of DaYan and Qi.

At this point, Lian Country has been eliminated from the map.

After sharing the spoils with Qi State, not long after, Xie Zhengyi led the army to attack Qi Country.
Among the three countries, Qi is a relatively weaker country. In the face of Xie Zhengyi’s menacing attacks, they retreat steadily and can only defend with difficulty.

However, Xie Zhengyi suddenly returned to court when he was halfway through the battle, and threw a bunch of rubbish to his generals to deal with.

Bai Chen pushed away the person who was holding him tightly, and said angrily: “We have agreed that after finishing Lian country, you will come back.”

After the plan, because the court can’t be unattended for a long time, plus the conditions in Huxiao City were not good, and Xie Zhengyi was afraid of wronging Bai Chen, so he coaxed Bai Chen to go back to the imperial city.

Bai Chen was not happy at first, but he and Xie Zhengyi stayed in Huxiao City for a long time, and some people in the court became restless. Bai Chen had no choice but to return to the imperial city to take charge, but he also made a promise with Xie Zhengyi. Once Lian country was defeated, he will come back at once after the victory. As a result, Xie Zhengyi failed to fulfill his promise and went to fight Qi.

Bai Chen ran away from the palace in a rage. No matter how the shadow guards tried to find him, they couldn’t find him. Xie Zhengyi panicked so he stopped the battle and ran back to the imperial city.
