AMDTVBA Chapter 5 After My Death, The Villain Blackened Again: Chapter 5

ARC 1: THE EMPEROR SCHEMES TO GRAB A MAN’S WIFE (2)

The love between men and women was a very clear matter to Yan Ge. The most direct channel to a man’s heart was through his apparatus.

Her chest was so flat now, she suddenly had no confidence in this shortcut.

This was especially the case after going through the information. When she discovered that Supreme Commander Ming Lan was the target the emperor wanted to eradicate, her body swayed even more.

Ji Zai suggested: "Why not write a booklet and tell him that you're female, you're willing to marry him, and you'll hand over the Ming Army? Wouldn't this be the best of both worlds?"

What rotten idea was this?

If Ji Zai wasn't in the system, Yan Ge would have smacked it into the air.

Yan Ge was currently in the general’s manor at Liangcheng’s border.

She jumped off the bed and went to touch the mirror on the table. Her face made up for the insufficient chest.

The reason this body was loved everyone ought to be because of this face.

Yan Ge lost her breath at the reflection in the mirror.

It looked very nice. Ming Lan's five features were magnificent, and her countenance was cold, especially that pair of eyes which seemed extremely piercing.

But, but this appearance was a man’s ah. Even if the contours were a bit softer, her features would still be a masculine kind of gentleness. It wasn’t as touching as a woman’s face at all.

Although the reigning emperor's harem had countless beauties, he certainly had no preference for the male style.

Yan Ge placed the mirror back on the table and asked Ji Zai: "Can we give up this task or change the identity?

Ji Zai discovered that many snacks could be found in the system's space. At this moment, it was munching on melon seeds and didn’t look up after hearing her words: "Basically no one dared to accept the mighty one’s mission task before because the difficulty level was too high and the risk was great. You’ll probably become bald if you don't succeed."

For the sake of keeping the few 'hairs' on her head, Yan Ge ground her teeth and silently began to study her mission task.

The previous three generations of the Ming family were generals, and by the time of Ming Lan's father, they held considerable power. Several cities at the border were under their family's jurisdiction, and the Ming Army was an existence that could terrorize any side with its military force.

How could outsiders be allowed to sleep beside his bed?1 The emperor had already tolerated the Ming family for a long time.

It had not been easy to plot the old Ming general’s death, and now he was weakened by the Ming family’s only son, who fought even better than the former general. The emperor probably spent every night dreaming of ways to throttle Ming Lan.

Summer arrived, and the emperor was selecting talented girls. He ordered Ming Lan to return to the capital with the idea of picking out a young woman for him to peacefully stay at home and live a simple life.

Ming Lan was a woman. Of course she couldn't harm other people’s children by taking a wife. So when she went to Jingcheng2, she declined on the grounds that she was young and still in mourning.

The emperor felt that the wedding could be postponed and forced her to accompany a princess of the third rank. As a result, Ming Lan took out a marriage contract between herself and the capital’s third miss of the scholarly Luo family and used it to reject the his conferred marriage again.

The emperor hated her even more. When she returned to the frontlines to wage war with the bordering country, he used a ruse to kill off Ming Lan and the Ming Army.

Yan Ge knocked on the table and asked Ji Zai: "Isn’t this enthralling tens of thousands system supposed to fulfill the wishes of these ‘tens of thousands’?"

"Of course, it is." Ji Zai spit out the melon seeds in his mouth. "Oh, I forgot something. Ming Lan also has a wish. She hopes that the Ming Army will not perish but live on instead. If you fulfill her wish, you can earn more nourishment. "

It wasn't that the host didn't know the emperor wanted to kill her, she was just indifferent. What she couldn't let go of was the Ming Army. Her cherished wish was that they wouldn’t follow her to the grave.

After learning that she’d receive an extra gift if things went smoothly, Yan Ge's heart finally settled down.

A few days later, the emperor’s imperial edict arrived. He summoned Ming Lan along with a few military officers to return to Jingcheng, saying that he would personally reward them.

Although Yan Ge set off with the Ming Army, she disguised herself halfway through and traveled alone. After walking day and night, she arrived first at the capital.
