"That's right, let's not think about Ling'er anymore. After all, so much time has passed, we should think about how to make the guests of the Clear Heart Pavilion more." Peony agreed with Bing'er as she took off the earrings and put them back in Cai Die's bag.
After that, Bing'er, pomegranate and peony completely put aside Shang Ling'er's matter, happily studying how much money they could earn in the future to redeem themselves.
When the pomegranate and peony left the room, it was almost midnight. Bing-Er was lying on the bed, unable to sleep. She took out the letter from the pomegranate in her head and silently recited it several times before closing her eyes and falling asleep.
The next day.
Sihan woke up early in the morning and sneaked out of Liang Manor in her men's clothes. As she walked towards the west suburbs, she discovered a small boat slowly moving through the lake. The cabin was singing and dancing, and the sound of the zither was long. From time to time, men's candid laughter and women's light laughter could be heard. Sihan couldn't help but shake her head. It was probably some rich family's child enjoying himself here.
She withdrew her line of sight from the boat. When she looked at the silk thread, she discovered that there were pieces of burnt wood near the lake. Sihan walked over to the lake and picked up some of the wood pieces. Sihan sighed deeply. It seemed like she came late this time. Sihan looked around but didn't find any valuable clues. Helplessly, she decided to go to Qingxin House to see if Bing'er had any new clues.
A burst of laughter came from the boat just as Sihan walked out a short distance away. "Young General, why are you here at the bow?" Originally, these had nothing to do with Sihan, but when she heard the three words Young General, she suddenly stopped her steps and turned around to look at the center of the lake. All she saw was the boat, originally in the middle of the lake, slowly coming closer to the shore. A woman wearing a light muslin dress stuck her soft breasts to the man's chest and wantonly hooked them. If that man hadn't slapped her half to death, who else could he have been?
Sihan clenched her teeth as she looked at the young general, Gu Ziming, with her small hands tightly clenching into a fist. He felt indignant in his heart. Why was it that this young general wanted to injure her when he pretended to rob a girl on the street? And yet he himself had come to such a scenic place to amuse himself?
Thinking of this, Sihan walked to the shore with a cold expression, coldly looking at the boat that was gradually approaching the shore.
"To think that a dignified young general would come here to have fun." Sihan looked at the young general standing at the bow of the ship and mocked coldly.
Gu Ziming looked in the direction of the voice, but the person he didn't want to see was the man that had robbed the commoners. He snorted disdainfully in his heart. It was good enough that he didn't find that man to teach him a lesson. But this man had come to provoke him!
He glanced at the handsome man standing on the shore before shifting his gaze elsewhere. Today, he had important matters to attend to and had no time to bother with this man.
Seeing that the man standing at the bow of the ship actually ignored her and acted as if he didn't know her, Sihan was immediately enraged. She looked coldly at Gu Ziming, who was standing at the bow, and beat her half to death.
A woman who did not take revenge with a single palm strike!
However, how was he going to take revenge? In terms of martial arts, she definitely wasn't a match for the young general.
If it didn't work, then he would use the Yin method!
"Young General, it's so boring standing at the bow of the ship. Come to Wu Xue to accompany you." With that, the woman's soft breasts were pressed tightly against Gu Ziming's muscular chest.
Cold air suddenly appeared on Gu Ziming's body. He looked at Wu Xue, who was squeezing him in his arms, with an ice-cold expression. No language. Mei Er immediately felt the cold air coming from Gu Ziming's body. She quickly left Gu Ziming's chest with an awkward smile and a sorrowful look. "Since the young general doesn't like Wu Xue, then Wu Xue can just leave." With that, Mei Er lifted her skirt and walked into the cabin.
After Mei Er left, the cold aura around Gu Ziming's body gradually disappeared. At this moment, the boat was already approaching the shore. Sihan felt the cold aura from Gu Ziming's body. This cold aura caused Sihan to be unable to resist trembling slightly. She knew full well that she definitely wasn't a match for the young general. Since she wasn't a match for him, she naturally had to dodge.
Sihan glared fiercely at the young general from a angle that the young general couldn't see before leaving in large strides.
He unconsciously raised the corner of his mouth into a faint smile. This man was interesting, and there was a deep hatred between him and his clothes. He had clearly been the one at fault, openly robbing a civilian girl in the streets, but now he was boldly looking at his clothes as if he wanted to take revenge on her.
"Young General, could it be that my wine is too thin, do you not like it?" A man in armor, even larger than Gu Ziming, stood beside Gu Ziming on the bow of the ship.
"General Wu Ha, you are overthinking it. This stalemate really likes your hospitality." Gu Ziming turned around and said to Wu Ha with a smile.
Wu Ha looked puzzledly at Gu Ziming. "Although the young general likes the fine wine and delicious food that I have prepared for you, he doesn't like my sister Wu Xue. Young General, you should know why I brought Wu Xue to meet you." If you don't give this general any face, do you think that the princess of our country, Liaoning Province, is not worthy of you?! " The tone of his voice was extremely flat, but the tone of his voice revealed a great deal of displeasure. Anyone could tell that General Wu Ha was trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart.
Gu Ziming quickly smiled. He cupped his hands and said gently, "Princess Wu Xue has a noble identity. It's because this general isn't worthy of her."
The two siblings, Wu Ha and Wu Xue, especially felt the capital from Liaoning Province for the sake of getting him to marry Princess Wu Xue. He, Gu Ziming, had fought on the battlefields since he was young and had made an enemy of the Liaoning Kingdom. Furthermore, the Liaoning Kingdom had repeatedly invaded the territory of the Qi Kingdom to kill many of their innocent citizens, and now, their army of over a hundred thousand had been stationed at the borders of the Qi Nation. This was a grave threat to the border territories of the Qi Nation. What's more, he didn't have any love for Wu Xue.
General Wu Ha sneered. He stood at the bow of the ship and looked into the distance. A cold smile appeared on his face, "Wu Xue is my most beloved sister and my only kin. I will do anything for her." With that, Wu Ha turned around and glanced at Gu Ziming.
The corners of Gu Ziming's mouth curled up into a smile as he looked ahead, "In this world, everyone is the closest person, and we would all risk our lives to fight for the sake of the closest person. But Zi Ming doesn't have a sister, so he might not be able to understand how you feel about your beloved sister, but Zi Ming treats all the people of the Qi Kingdom as his own people. This general will do anything for his loved ones."
