Unyielding Miss Qinglian

  Wei Chi Hung Ying hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "Your Highness, this man intended to assassinate you. According to the law, he should be beheaded immediately. I wonder what your intention is?"

  "Beheading? Excellent. However, I prefer to see people make a second choice, give them another chance, and next time they fall into my hands again, I'll kill."

  Noticing the hint of amusement in Princess Chiyang's eyes, Hongying was taken aback: Could it be that she had just been testing him? This Princess Chiyang didn't seem as brainless as he had heard. As his thoughts turned, he respectfully said: "Princess Chiyang is kind and virtuous, I will have someone give him fifty big slaps first and then expel him from Feng City to serve as a warning."

  "Yes, I will follow General's words."

  The grass ended the interrogation, and the tired morning and evening yawned, looked at his six husbands with one eye, and said softly: "Tonight, Junlian will accompany me!"

  Beidong Junlian nodded slightly without any sadness or joy, just smiled: "Princess, don't worry, I'll go over after I take a bath and change my clothes."

  Although they didn't say much, there was a hint of gentleness in their eyes.

  Lin Junchen looked at everyone's reaction with an expressionless face, sighed in his heart, and left with Xu Feishuang.

  Huangfu Jinghao and Ji Jingyuan, however, coincidentally walked towards General Wei Chi's direction to have the old man dragged away for execution. Zhuge Jingze shook his head, "Ah, the good show is about to begin!"

  He stopped a little girl and asked: "Hey, little girl, where is your family's young general?"

  The little maid originally intended to ask the person who blocked her way, but when she looked up and saw a handsome young master, his noble and elegant appearance made her lose her soul in an instant, and it took half a moment for her to come back to herself with a red face: "I don't know."

  Zhuge Jingze let out a deliberate "oh" and deeply expressed his skepticism, "Really don't know? I'm actually quite close to your General, if we're delayed in meeting..."

  The little maid looked at him with a puzzled expression, still so handsome, and thought to herself, "How can there be such a beautiful man in this world?" "Are you really an old acquaintance of General Shao?"

  "Of course, do you think I'd cheat?" Zhuge Jingze shamelessly coaxed the little white rabbit.

  The little maid pursed her lips in agreement with the handsome man's words, she really hadn't seen such a handsome man before, he was so handsome and elegant, every move he made exuded a noble and refined air... surely someone like him wouldn't lie?

  After struggling for a while, she couldn't resist the shameless temptation of a certain man. She said that Wei Qi Qingyan was staying in her own courtyard because she had heard that the Marquis of Ruyang was coming to the mansion, and General Li was angry and didn't want to receive him but was scolded by the old general, so he simply stayed in his courtyard and refused to come out.

  De liǎo wèi chí qīng yán suǒ zài yuàn zǐ de fāng xiàng zhū gě jìng zé guǒ duàn de lí kāi le, diū xià xiǎo jiān huán zài huí yì, zhǎ zhǎ yǎn kàn zhe shēn biān bàn rén yǐng yě méi tā jī hū yí huò gāng cái shì fǒu zài zuò mèng.

  ……

  Zhuge Jingze arrived at Wei Chi Qingyan's courtyard, thought for a moment and stopped in his tracks. He walked directly to the main gate, where a young servant blocked him: "Who are you?"

  "I am Zhuge Jingze, one of the husbands of Princess Chiyang. I'd like to meet General Shao, would you please announce my presence?"

  He said it was a bother, but his expression showed nothing but an air of commanding and no hint of embarrassment.

  Xiao Shuai heard that Chi Yang Gong Zhu had already lost face, General Xiao was now being punished by the old master because of Chi Yang Gong Zhu, what's the point of coming here?

  "Go quickly! Whether you want to see him or not isn't up to you to decide. What are you hesitating about?"

  Yes, this matter is not something he can decide on. The little servant quickly ran in and soon came out again, "Master Zhuge, the young general said he's tired and doesn't want to receive anyone today."

  Zhuge Jingze sighed and said, "Indeed," then his figure flashed and he directly jumped over the wall and entered, still smiling and saying, "I originally said to use courtesy before resorting to force, but I didn't expect this little brat to be so arrogant."

  The little servant stared with wide eyes: What's going on here? Even if you want to rush in, shouldn't you just push the door open and rush in? Why did he deliberately walk a few steps and then climb over the wall?

  Zhuge Jingze hadn't walked a few steps when he saw a figure rushing out with a fiery aura, holding a long spear in his hand. Seeing him, Zhuge Jingze dodged and weaved repeatedly, occasionally using his folding fan to deflect the attacks. The clash of their weapons produced a loud ringing sound.

  The young man was stunned, looking at the noble's demeanor, it seemed like a golden exterior with a rotten interior, a fancy but useless move, yet somehow he could hold his own for dozens of moves without falling into a disadvantageous position.

  And that fan, what material is it made of, can actually withstand the Lieutenant General's spear!

  Too weird!

  "Zhuge Jingze, if you don't come out, you'll die!" After showing off over a hundred moves, Wei Chi Qingyan finally vented half of his anger and started scolding with wide eyes.

  "Ah, no, no! I'm afraid you'll get bored to death, so I came especially to liven things up a bit. General, you're still as hot-headed as ever! Ah, wait, I made a mistake - after all these years, you now have children of your own, and should be in the prime of life!"

  "You——"

  Wei Chi Qingyan was really furious with him, but had nowhere to vent his anger. After stabbing a few times in anger, he hastily sheathed his sword, gave him a cold glance, and turned around to walk inside.

  Zhuge Jingze followed behind him: "Wei Chi brother, wait!"

  The little servant looked even more foolish, General, what's going on? You said you wouldn't see him, but he came out to try anyway. After trying, you didn't give a clear answer either. Is he pursuing or not?

  Forget it, General thought he probably really knew this person.

  Zhuge Jingze followed Wei Qiying into the house, but saw a young girl sitting inside. At first, she was stunned, then smiled and said: "So General is chatting with his younger sister, sorry to interrupt."

  Wei Chi Qinglian stood up and saluted, "Qinglian has seen the young master," but after saluting, she didn't show any intention of leaving, still sitting in the distance.

  Wei Chi Qing Yan glanced at him and asked: "Now that you've said that, what brings you here, young man?"

  "Hehe, nothing much, just wanted to catch up with you after all these years."

  Wei Chi Qing Yan gave him a cold glance, hadn't they met last year? It was when he was with Princess Chi Yang. This kid thought it didn't matter, but back then, he had stopped him from hitting Princess Chi Yang. Hmph, he remembered that debt!

  "Big Brother, didn't Xiao Gongzi come?" Wei Chi Qinglian asked softly.

  Zhuge Jingze furrowed his brow: "Wei Chi, Miss, why do you call me 'Dà Gōng Zǐ' (Big Young Master), but address Xiao Bing as 'Xiāo Gōng Zǐ' (Young Master Xiao)? We are both imperial sons-in-law, logically speaking, you should be addressing him as Fourth Young Master!"

  Qinglian pouted and coldly snorted: "Xiao Gongzi and Da Gongzi, you two are not the same. I see that you're willingly serving as Palace Morning's husband, but he isn't willing!"

  Pfft——

  Zhuge Jingze had never heard of such a twisted argument before, and kindly reminded him: "But no matter what, he is already the fourth prince of the princess! This is something that no one can change, especially Miss Wei Chi. There's one thing he didn't say, which is that if Xue Bingru wants to be free, unless Princess Chuyang is willing herself.

  Wei Chi Qinglian glared at him angrily: "Things haven't reached the end yet, you don't have to be so full of yourself!"

  Wei Chi Qingyan glared at his own sister, "Qinglian, you should go back to your room and rest."

  "Big brother!"

  "Get back!" Wei Chi Qingyan coldly shouted in a low voice.

  Wei Chi Qinglian stomped her foot and turned around to leave. Palace Chenxi, one day she would definitely get Xiao Bing's hand in marriage!

  Zhuge Jingze watched as Wei Chi Qinglian walked out and let out a soft sigh: "Rosy lips, white teeth, small melon face, cherry mouth, slender figure, truly a beauty. Unfortunately, she's set her sights on our princess's husband, destined to have her dreams shattered!"

  No one has ever seen anyone tease his sister like that in front of her brother, Wei Chi Qing Yan kicked him hard and Zhuge Jing Ze jumped back, choosing a chair to sit down: "Wei Chi brother, stop joking around, I have serious business with you!"

  "Speak! No one is blocking your mouth."

  "Alright, alright, you're just a low-ranking general, the princess wouldn't even look at someone like you, so put your mind at ease, what I'm saying has nothing to do with this."

  Wei Chi Qingyan's face turned black, and the more he spoke, the more absurd it became.

  "Alright, I'm telling you, I just wanted to remind you not to try to take revenge on Princess Bao Qing. Times have changed, ordinary people can't kill her."

  Wei Chi Qing's eyebrows jumped, and he sat opposite him, looking serious: "What makes you say that?"

  Zhuge Jingze's face revealed a profound and mysterious smile. "One piece of information for one condition, in the future when I need your help, you must assist me."

  "Speak!"

  "Fantastic!" Zhuge Jingze glanced out the window, making sure no one was around before speaking in a low voice: "Princess Chi Yang is extremely cunning and has taken down both batches of assassins sent by the Black Dragon Gang. Not a single one of them managed to harm her, not even a scratch."

  "Has she become stronger? I remember a year ago she didn't have any kung fu at all."

  Zhuge Jingze spread his hands: "The message has been given to you, whether you believe it or not. You can send someone to try, but the people who wanted to assassinate her are all dead. If you don't mind, send someone to try. Or quietly have someone rescue that guy who was flogged today and persuade him to make another attempt, see if he lives or dies."

  Wei Chi Qingyan hesitated, although Zhuge Jingze was somewhat unpleasant, he rarely lied to him, especially when it came to collaborative matters.

  Want to give it a try?

  "Actually, I think there's no deep grudge between you and the princess, why make it so awkward? Xiao Bing is the princess's husband, that's for sure, even if there was no princess, I guarantee Xiao Bing wouldn't like your sister. She's too flashy, Xiao Bing can't possibly like that type."

  Wei Chi Qing Yan glanced at him and said: "Then you tell me what kind of woman he would like?"

  "I don't know, probably will only find out when fate allows it. Anyway, those who are weak and overbearing are definitely not the one."

  Wei Chi Qingyan poured him a cup of wine, the aroma wafted, and Zhu Ge Jingze's face showed joy: "Hundred-year-old Peach Blossom Wine! Brother Wei, you're really a good brother!"

  "This is in return for your last message."

  "What? Don't cheat people like this!"

  "Hum, who made you speak unclearly? Since it's hidden and not revealed, you should say what school or faction she is from! What kind of weapon does she use?"

  Zhuge Jingze sighed, "If I had known, I would have told you, but the problem is that none of us saw any clues, it was as if he died mysteriously."

  How could this be? Wei Chi Qing Yan was puzzled, "Can't even the Sixth Young Master see it?" If there's no weapon, then it must be poison. Xue Fei Shuang wouldn't be unable to discern the situation if it were poison.
