I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1909 - 1911: What Is My Husband Thinking About

Chapter 1909: Chapter 1911: What Is My Husband Thinking About
"Understood!"
From your tone, Yu Jin naturally sensed your anger. He replied in a deep voice, ordering the Japanese to be taken to the Punishment Room.
Once everything returned to silence, you stood alone on the city tower, gazing into the distance at Cao’s army camp.
"What are you thinking, husband?" At this moment, Zheng Zhi walked up behind you with a cloak and placed it on your shoulders.
You embraced Zheng Zhi tightly, inhaling the fragrance of her hair, "Cao Cao must be trying this out tentatively, which is why he only sent a few thousand people to respond outside. Usually, Cao Cao is reactive, so there must be someone taking the initiative. I’m wondering who this person might be?"
Zheng Zhi thought for a moment and said, "I remember the spies in Qing Zhou once mentioned something. Cao Cao’s eldest son, Cao Pi, had sailed to Eastern Sea countries. Could these people be related to Cao Pi?"
"I see, if it is Cao Pi, then it makes sense." You smiled, knowing that Cao Pi was your sworn enemy. Now that you know it’s him, you won’t hold back.
After thinking for a while, you said to Zheng Zhi, "We can’t kill these Japanese yet. They might be useful. Go find Yu Jin and have these Japanese isolated and separately detained. Also, bring that female Jap over here; I have questions for her."
"Okay."
Zheng Zhi is the least jealous among your women. Although she says she will keep watch over you on behalf of the other women, she never questions your orders.
However, unbeknownst to you, Zheng Zhi had already started thinking crookedly. The reason you called for Zhi was not to vent your desires but to gather information. You have a way to make Zhi tell you everything she knows.
You continued to meet Zhi on the city tower. Zheng Zhi wanted to leave, but you stopped her: "Zhi, you stay."
"Okay."
Although the tones are different, the pronunciation is not much different. Zhi took this time to carefully observe the woman beside you; she couldn’t help but feel overshadowed by Zheng Zhi’s beauty.
"First, out of courtesy, you should tell me your name." You added, "If your answer satisfies me, I’ll spare your people."
Zhi hesitated for a moment but finally spoke, "My name is Zhi."
You nodded with a smile, looking down at Zhi: "So, Miss Zhi, what is your status in your country?"
Zhi did not answer.
"You should hold a high status, I presume. Japan might be similar to The Great Han, valuing men over women, so you are likely one of two things. First, a trained female assassin, but clearly not, as your aura tells me otherwise; then, the second option. You must be an attendant to a noble in your country."
Upon hearing this, Zhi’s breath quickened; you had guessed correctly!
You slowly approached, squatting down, gently lifting Zhi’s chin with your left hand, while your right hand softly pinched her fair cheek, and chuckled: "As an attendant, your skin is well-maintained, and you are still a virgin. With your appearance, you must be considered top-class in Japan, suggesting your master is female."
Zhi shivered entirely, not expecting you to guess so easily.
"Although I am not familiar with information about Eastern Sea countries, nor do I know how many powerful women are in Japan, it’s not difficult. I just need to spend a little to find out from merchants." Saying this, you smiled mysteriously, then found a seat to sit down.
Seeing that you didn’t harm Zhi, Zheng Zhi felt some joy inside, indicating that you aren’t as lascivious as rumors say.
Zhi pondered for a long time, finally compromising with you, "Master, if I tell the truth, can you spare my people and refrain from attacking my master?"
"That’s an interesting way to put it. Apparently, the ones who initially sent assassins to kill me were you, yet now you make it sound like I’m the villain."
At this, Zhi quickly explained, "The three who attempted to assassinate you were not ours; they were from Xiazhisong Country, enemies of ours."
"Since you’re enemies, why act together?" You sensed something unusual in her words.
"Because Master Zi Heng has good relations with three countries. We all desperately need The Great Han’s assistance, so despite mutual hatred, we maintain a facade of harmony."
You nodded and switched topics: "Although your Chinese has an accent, your expression is quite good. You learned Chinese from a young age?"
Zhi nodded repeatedly, her voice more humble: "In Xiematai Kingdom, all aristocrats must learn Chinese. We aspire to learn Great Han’s culture and current technologies to improve our people’s living conditions."
"Xiematai Kingdom?" You slightly frowned. Coincidentally, you do know that country, one of the many in the Fusang Misheng Era. "It seems my guess was right. So, your Queen must be Himiko?"
Zhi was immediately shocked by your words, as very few, aside from Japanese aristocrats, knew that the ruler of Xiematai was a Queen. Even Cao Pi had never seen the Queen’s true appearance, nor did he know her name.
Observing Zhi’s astonished, even terrified, face, your look of satisfaction grew: "Surprised, huh? Haha, it’s nothing; I know much about your country."
"My lord, please save us!" Zhi prostrated on the ground, performing the highest Japanese courtesy for you.
"Oh? You speak of salvation, which surprises me."
Zhi raised her head, kneeling before you, her forehead touching the ground: "We came to The Great Han without any ill intentions. Our Queen was coerced by Master Zi Heng, which is why the elite troops were dispatched..."
"Enough, I don’t want to hear any more useless words. As you can see, I am struggling to protect myself now. Everything will be settled once the war is over. Jing Sheng, you’ve heard enough outside, now come in!"
With that, Li Chong entered, slightly bowing his head, somewhat embarrassed. He came before you, saluting, "Elder brother, I didn’t expect you to find me out."
"Brat, as a man, why resort to such stealthy actions?" You deliberately scolded Li Chong with a stern tone.
