It was inevitable that I was affected.

It was not for glory and wealth, but because the Second Prince reminded me that my identity posed a huge hidden danger.

If he could find out my true identity, then so could other people.

If I didn’t join the Second Prince and work with him to kill or bring down my enemies in advance, our family might end up in danger at any time.

However, 1 still didn’t want to disrupt the current peaceful life. I didn’t want to embark on the path of my previous life.

Unfortunately, even the best-laid plans could be overturned by unforeseen circumstances.

Something still happened to me.

At that time, the news of the Liao army invading the Great Jin State had reached Mountain Spring Town.

Within the Great Jin State, other than the Second Prince’s army which was actively fighting against the Liao army and defending High Pass Town, the rest of the Imperial Court’s army either fought passively or retreated outright.

The actions of the Imperial Court’s army ignited the anger of the students of the Academy.

The scholars of the Cirrus Loft Academy launched several propaganda activities and even riots.

Although I had already realized that something was wrong, I didn’t have time to react before 1 was dragged out of the classroom by several classmates.

Then, we were captured.

And we were quickly sent out of the town.

I wanted to argue with the people who captured us, but I didn’t even have the chance to get close to them.

Thereafter, our group was quickly split into several teams. We were then sent to different places.

On the second day of departure, I found out that we had been forcibly recruited into the army.

The group I was in was heading towards the border.

After my appeal to the new soldiers fell on deaf ears, 1 recalled that the Second Prince was at the border and felt a little more at ease.

I was thinking that when we reached the border, 1 would be able to think of a way to solve the predicament.

After all, not only did I know the Second Prince but I also knew many of his generals.

Even if I couldn’t meet the Second Prince, the chances of meeting the other generals were very high.

At that point, I would be able to escape.

Thus, I could only continue to move forward with the team for now.

However, something happened on the way.

At this moment, there were not only Liao soldiers but also mountain bandits in the inner regions of the Great Jin State.

Although we managed to get through a few dangerous situations along the way, something happened that one time.

The soldiers who escorted us suffered heavy casualties and could no longer protect us.

Most of us were weakly scholars without even the strength to truss a chicken. When we were surrounded by the mountain bandits, we had no way to fight back.

When the fighting started, everyone scattered and began to flee.

Some were killed by the mountain bandits while others died at the hands of the soldiers who escorted us. Some people even fell off the cliff in a panic.

I was also forced to the edge of the cliff and was almost captured by the mountain bandits.

Fortunately, the Second Prince arrived just in time.

At the critical moment, his men killed the mountain bandits who surrounded me and saved me.

At this moment, after experiencing what happened on the road, my mentality had changed again.

This world didn’t seem like a place where I could live in seclusion just because 1 wanted to.

To control one’s own fate and protect one’s family, one needed to have power in one’s hands.

Otherwise, the next time something happened, I might be dragged into yet another desperate situation like this again.

Yes, 1 needed to make myself stronger.

This was the only way to prevent such a thing from happening again. At the same time, 1 wanted to prevent these things from happening to my family.

Thus, I agreed to join the Second Prince when he asked me.

Moreover, 1 quickly came up with a plan with him to work undercover in the Prime Minister’s residence.

In exchange for performing all these tasks, I only had one request, and that was that he must not tell my wife what happened to me. He must not let my wife get involved in our matters.

Along the way, while I was worried about myself, I was more worried about her.

With her personality, I was afraid she would abandon everything to look for me.

The world was so big. How could she locate me without any clues?

Furthermore, there were already many Liao troops that had infiltrated the inner region of the Great Jin State. They were burning, killing, and looting everywhere.

What if they went to Mountain Spring Town and she wasn’t home and then something happened to my family?

However, 1 didn’t have time to return to Mountain Spring Town anymore. I could only entreat the Second Prince to find out news about her and take good care of my family.

After that, 1 made use of Shen Rong to get into the Shen family.

Then, 1 quickly gained Minister Shen’s trust and slowly became the subordinate that Minister Shen cared about the most in the Prime Minister’s residence.

At this juncture, I still didn’t know that my wife had left Mountain Spring Town to look for me.

She had set off on the day that incident happened to me.

What was even more astonishing was that she accomplished many great achievements along the way.

Not only did she kill a large number of Liao soldiers, but she also helped the Second Prince’s men recover many towns that had been captured by the Liao army. Step by step, she killed her way to fame.

Later on, she even helped the Second Prince repel the Liao army at High Pass Town.

She also brought her Special Forces Team members to sneak into the enemy camp several times and eventually killed the commander.

The Xiao family’s Xiao Tu and Xiao Yuan from the Liao State died at the hands of my wife one after another.

Of particular significance was Xiao Yuan, who was the Supreme Commander of the Liao army and the father of the Liao State’s Empress Dowager.

Not only was he a high-ranking official who wielded great authority and a masterful military strategist, but he was also the father of Empress Dowager Xiao, the de facto power holder in the Liao State.

In fact, from the moment she accidentally killed Xiao Tu, my wife had already fallen into the vortex of trouble.

Xiao Tu was Xiao Yuan’s only grandson, but he died at her hands. How could Xiao Yuan be willing to let things rest?

At that time, the Great Jin State and the Great Liao State were in the midst of peace talks, and the Great Jin State was in a disadvantageous position.

Who knew if the Great Jin State would sacrifice my wife’s life to pacify Xiao Yuan?

At that point, the only way out for my wife was to get rid of Xiao Yuan as well.

This way, not only would she be able to make greater contributions but she would also be able to turn the situation around for herself.

And in the end, she really accomplished this.

Charging through tens of thousands of people, she took the Supreme Commander’s head. She killed Xiao Yuan in the Liao army’s camp and crushed the morale of the Liao army, thereby making great contributions to the Great Jin State.

The Second Prince was right. My wife was a natural-born general.

By the time 1 received news of my wife, she was already on her way back to the capital.

On one hand, 1 was angry that the Second Prince didn’t keep his promise to me and got my wife involved in his struggle for the throne.

On the other hand, 1 was also worried about how I would face her next.

She had made such a great contribution that the Emperor would definitely reward her. It was inevitable that she would be offered the post of an official.

We were both in the capital. Even if I wanted to hide, we would still bump into each other sooner or later.

Though I was worried, 1 still had to make preparations in advance.

The Imperial Court was controlled by Empress Jia. When the Second Prince returned to the capital, even he would be subjected to Empress Jia’s control, not to mention my wife.

My wife must not get close to the Second Prince. In fact, she must not even have any connections with any factions in the court. Only then would she be safe.

However, by the same token, she would also have no support.

This would not be beneficial to her effort to gain a foothold in the capital.

Thus, I arranged for my two younger cousins to take action.

1 asked my younger cousin sister to take care of her and at the same time, sent my younger cousin brother to her side to help her.

That was right. I located my younger cousins Liu Yun and Liu Ling earlier.

This time, 1 would protect them well. I would not let the tragedy of my previous life repeat itself.

My younger cousin brother Liu Ling resembled me.

When I first made those arrangements, I was actually a little worried.

I was afraid that after my wife saw Liu Ling, she would develop some feelings for him because of his appearance which was similar to mine..
