Quick Wear: This Cannon Fodder is Delicate and Expensive

Chapter 305: Don’t Touch the Fox’s Tail (32)

"I..." Xiang Ling was speechless for a moment, and felt even more depressed.

"Since Lord Shi has come here in person to pick them up, I will not make things difficult for you. It is me who is meddling in other people's business." Xiang Ling lowered his eyes slightly, looking very lonely.

If he had ears now, they would probably be drooping.

"What are you looking at? Why don't you let them go? I just felt unhappy when I heard about them bullying women. If other women were bullied, I would help to the best of my ability." Xiang Ling turned his back and pouted.

Seeing that everyone had been let go, Shi Qi began to express his gratitude: "Thank you for your kindness, Immortal Venerable. If there is nothing else, I will take my men and leave first."

Xiang Ling heard that the person was leaving, turned around awkwardly, and glanced at Shi Qi again: "Then...then you can go."

Shi Qi responded and turned and left.

Xiang Ling snorted, put away his fan, stamped his feet, and muttered softly: "Just go, you think I want to see you..."

After Zhao Chang was put down, he tried hard to open his eyes, wanting to see the thin but strong back clearly, but he was too weak and fainted on the ground again.

When he woke up again, it was already late. He didn't know when he had been cleaned and changed, and was in a carriage.

The woman opposite seemed very tired. She leaned her arm against the window, her eyes slightly closed, and her body swayed gently with the carriage.

She didn't have a stunning face, just a delicate and elegant appearance, like a beautiful girl from a small family. However, the natural royal aura she exuded was not something that ordinary people could learn.

In his impression, women are all weak. They learn needlework when they are young, get married when they grow up, and take care of their husbands and children.

But Shiqi is like a strange exception, breaking this tradition.

Not only was she caught for disguising herself as a man and serving as an official, she almost lost her life. Now she has re-entered the official career as a woman and even holds a fourth-rank official position.

"Awake? It seems that everything is fine. You can keep staring at me." Shi Qi noticed the gaze from the opposite side and said softly.

Zhao Chang was stunned and looked away awkwardly: "I am ashamed... I judged others by my own standards. You are so tolerant and generous that you even risked your life to save us. Zhao Chang... I will never forget you and will follow you till death."

As he said this, he knelt down in the carriage.

Shi Qi opened his eyes and saw the boy kneeling with tears in his eyes. His heart softened.

This child, who is still young and should be playing freely, has entered this thankless clan government at an early age.

"Men don't shed tears easily. Get up first."

Zhao Chang hurriedly wiped away his tears and stood up, not daring to look at Shi Qi.

Shi Qi: "How old are you this year?"

Zhao Chang: "My Lord, I am twelve this year."

"You are so young, but you have suffered a lot to get to your current position. Don't feel guilty, we are even now. I hope you can help me run the clan government well in the future." Shi Qi smiled calmly.

"I will follow your instructions, sir." Zhao Chang answered firmly.

"But I'm curious, are you and the Immortal Master really old friends? Otherwise... why would the Immortal Master go to so much trouble to vent your anger for you?" Zhao Chang blinked, very curious.

Shi Qi was stunned. He thought of Xiang Ling and the vague aura of Xiang Ling in his dream last night, and felt uneasy.

She had just drawn a line between herself and him because she was afraid that he would get involved in her affairs. It would be better for both of them to keep their relationship secret.

She also didn't know...why she was disappointed with his actions.

Originally, there should be hope before disappointment.

Could it be...that she was expecting something from him?

So she would be disappointed to see him punish her men so coldly?

Because children...are never so cold and heartless.

Shi Qi shook his head, thinking that he was just imagining things, and answered calmly, "Not familiar with him. The Immortal Venerable is highly respected, and he must have come to your aid because he couldn't bear to see you bullying a woman."

"Well, now that it's over, don't hold on to it."

Zhao Chang nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

……

On the other side is Huayue Tower.

Liao Zhi was startled by the sudden visitor.

"Hey, you just got an official title. How can you find time to come to my shabby place?"

Xiang Ling's face froze, and he said absentmindedly: "I'm just catching up with you."

Liao Zhi looked behind him, then looked around, and jokingly said, "Huh? Why didn't you bring your master with you this time?"

"What master? You are not allowed to mention her tonight!" Xiang Ling felt uncomfortable and wronged when he thought of this.

Liao Zhi pursed his lips and said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it. Then I just wanted to talk to you about what I heard about Sui."

Xiang Ling nodded and gulped down a pot of tea.

"Recently, there have been frequent wars on the border of Xuanyuan Kingdom. If we lose this battle, the border will be gone. The emperor has urgently sent 20,000 troops to provide support. More importantly, I heard that Su Cheng is going to make a memorial and wants Sui to be the military advisor."

Xiang Ling's face became serious when he heard this: "You said... more than 20,000 people? Sui is the military advisor? Are you serious?"

Liao Zhi patted his chest and said, "Of course. I have quite a few people in Prime Minister Su's mansion. I guess... they will submit a report in the next two days."

"As long as it hasn't been decided, it's still easy to deal with. I'll find a way. If Sui is really allowed to go, the war will definitely fail. There are more than 20,000 people. He wants to use the war to kill people and take their hearts. He is really insidious and cruel." Xiang Ling said, squeezing the cup tightly.

Liao Zhi agreed, "Yes, fortunately the emperor is still in charge now, and you are quite favored by the emperor, so this matter... should be easy to stop."

Xiang Ling nodded: "It's not that difficult."

Seeing his friend was distracted, Liao Zhi asked, "What's on your mind? It's really strange. We've known each other for so many years, and I've never seen you look like this. You're like a puppy that was abandoned by its owner."

Xiang Ling stiffened when he was told that he had something serious on his mind. He spoke awkwardly, "Liao Zhi, it's just that... you have a lot of contact with women. I have a friend, not me, but my friend! I just want to ask for him."

Liao Zhi blinked and understood: "Ahem, your friend? Sure, go ahead."

Xiang Ling exhaled lightly and pouted her lips slightly: "That's right...that's right, he saw that the woman was wronged, so he helped her to retaliate, but the woman seemed to be angry, and looked at him with a very disappointed expression, cold and distant. What...what does this mean?"

When Liao Zhi heard this, he said seriously, "This must be a misunderstanding. Maybe the woman thought your friend was going to kill someone, so she was disappointed and upset? But she shouldn't have misunderstood your friend without asking clearly. She also had good intentions."

"Right! That's right, why does she blame me? I did all this for her, and she made me... ahem, made my friend feel so upset." Xiang Ling stood up angrily and said while slamming the table.

Liao Zhi: “…”

Liao Zhi: "In that case, just ask your friend to find a time to make things clear."

Xiang Ling leaned forward when she heard this, and was very curious: "What do you say? I will go find her later... No, I will let that friend go find her?"

Liao Zhi's mouth twitched slightly: "... Yeah."

Xiang Ling nodded: "You are right. Misunderstandings should be explained. After listening to you... I feel better... My friend feels much better. You don't know, he has been feeling upset for the whole afternoon. It's like a stone is blocking his heart. It's really tormenting."

Liao Zhi: “…”

Xiang Ling Yile: "Then I'm leaving, we'll meet again later..."

Liao Zhi looked at the departing figure with a smile on his face.

So... I came here specifically to ask him how to coax a little girl.

Has this thousand-year-old vixen finally come to her senses?

……

After sending his men back to the Zong government, Shi Qi got on the carriage and returned to the Shi Mansion.

After a busy day, I'm hungry.

She is really destined to be busy and tired...
