Qīng Lián's Stubbornness

  Every time he thought of those things, Zhuge Jingze couldn't help but feel a heartache that he couldn't suppress. It was then that he came to his senses and realized it wasn't that he couldn't bear to leave her, but rather she had already reached her limit with everything around her and was waiting to disappear before their eyes at any moment.

  How could he? He never thought of killing her even if he wanted to leave her!

  Even though she had hurt him in these few years, he still hoped that she would be a little better, and then even better...

  Feeling the sorrow emanating from Zhuge Jingze's body, Chen Xi asked in puzzlement: "Jingze, what's wrong?"

  "I——"

  "Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry for revenge, but thinking of how to prevent them from causing trouble in Xicheng."

  Huang Pu Jing Hao looked at her with a mixture of surprise and curiosity, then said in a clear voice: "Although the Black Dragon Gang is mercenary, they rarely kill innocent people."

  So, in other words, if the Black Dragon Society wants to kill someone, they will only kill her and won't harm others? And they also won't affect the army?

  Morning and evening didn't know whether to be happy or sad, actually she was very hoping to solve the Black Dragon Gang's people first, but no one knew where the Black Dragon Gang's lair was, and she couldn't stay in Feng City forever. "Alright, tomorrow I'll set off back to Xi City!"

  "Yes, I'll go and get someone ready."

  "Princess, water pipe——"

  "It's not necessary for me to personally take action to resolve her matter, you can handle it yourself. It's not worth wasting my time on a woman who has nothing to do with me." Chen Xi's cold words left Zhuge Jingze stunned for half a moment before he nodded in agreement.

  Wei Chi General found out that Princess Chiyang was leaving the next day, and soon appeared saying he wanted to host a farewell banquet for them tonight.

  At dawn and dusk, looking at the general uncle's so moved appearance couldn't help but laugh, "General Wei Chi is really enthusiastic, I think after dinner tonight we can set off!"

  Wow!

  Wei Chi General stared, "Princess?"

  "Hehe, General Wei Chi doesn't have to worry, I like to appreciate the moonlight, and traveling at night isn't bad either. General Huang Fu has walked this road many times before, it's familiar!"

  "Princess, it's not quite right to travel at night after all. Let's set off tomorrow instead!" General Wei Chi said with a wave of his hand.

  "No need, my mind is made up. I'll leave right after dinner tonight!" Chen Xi said with a wink as he walked past General Wei's side and whispered: "Chen Xi will leave early, and the people in the general's mansion can also be happy early!"

  The General's face turned red in an instant, all because of his own daughter's mischief, otherwise he wouldn't... Alas, as a father, he felt very innocent!

  That night, General Lao also came out to entertain Gong Chenxiu and solemnly apologized to Gong Chenxiu for not being able to protect him well last time and for the inadequate hospitality.

  In the morning and evening, I see an old couple in their sixties or seventies who are still so diligent in getting along with each other. It's really admirable that they have a good relationship like emperors relying on mountains!

  The guest politely replied: "General, you have been so enthusiastic in your hospitality morning and night, I am deeply grateful."

  "Hehe, as long as the princess doesn't blame me, that's all that matters." In his heart, General Wei Chi was actually scolding his own emperor, thinking to himself: "Why didn't our emperor say something about cooperating with others earlier? If he had said something earlier, he would have also restrained his own sons and daughters from provoking Princess Chiyang!"

  "The princess has been staying at our house for half a month, but I don't know if the princess is satisfied with our hospitality?" Wei Chi Qinglian's unexpectedly gentle tone tonight made Gong Chenxi have a sense of guard.

  "Hehe, of course I'm satisfied."

  "That's good, as the saying goes, a gentleman's exchange should be courteous and reciprocal. I happen to have nothing on my schedule next, so I was wondering if Your Highness would be willing to let Qinglian follow me to Xiccheng to broaden her horizons?"

  Wow!

  She wants to follow her to Xicheng? After observing quietly in the morning and evening, it was found that General Lao's face wasn't very good, General Shao was calm, as if he had already known. And Xiao Bing's face was still icy and waveless, seemingly unmoved, but Miss Qinglian obviously went for him.

  "Is the princess unwilling?" Wei Chi Qinglian's eyes showed some displeasure.

  Sighing, this woman just doesn't know how to give up? "Alright, if you're willing, that's fine. But let's make one thing clear: after I return to Xi City, I won't have time to accompany you, Miss Qinglian will have to find her own entertainment."

  "I won't either - cough, I won't disturb your precious time, Princess." Perhaps having gained something, Wei Chi Qinglian's tone was noticeably better.

  But the eyes looking at Xiao Bing still have a deep affection, what a pity!

  What can she do if Xiao Bing doesn't accept her after all?

  The old general finally spoke up: "You're being reckless! As a young lady, how can you follow the princess on a long journey? Be honest and stay home!"

  "Grandpa—"

  "Don't go!"

  "Hey, Grandpa, why don't I accompany my sister to go with her, it's like escorting the princess!" suggested Wei Chi Qingyan.

  This time, Chen Xi couldn't help but suspect that Wei Chiying had some other purpose. Was it really just brotherly love? Maybe their feelings were genuine, but was it to this extent? This man must have had another motive.

  The old general's thick eyebrows furrowed, seemingly troubled, but his eyes were fixed on Chen Xi. Chen Xi sighed secretly: It seemed that the old general also wanted his grandchildren to go to Xī Chéng!

  Forget it, forget it. For the sake of Xia Shangyu, let his vassals take a look at her territory and show their sincerity in cooperation! With a faint smile, she said: "It's great that General wants to make a trip, just hope that this princess won't delay General's important matters."

  "Your Highness can rest assured, Qingyan has been quiet lately, as long as Your Highness doesn't mind, it's all right."

  "Hehe, why would this princess be displeased? You're welcome to the extreme!"

  Wei Chi Qinglian was overjoyed when she heard this, and after eating a few mouthfuls of rice, she put down her bowl and said excitedly: "Grandfather, Father, I'm full, I'll go get ready so as not to delay the princess."

  As soon as the words were spoken, the figure disappeared. General Wei's face turned red, and this princess was really not to be expected to give him a long face. He dryly invited: "Princess, please have some food, don't be disgusted."

  "This dish is delicious, the chef of the General's mansion is quite good."

  ……

  A meal was eaten with great joy, the Princess Chiyang's people had packed up early in the morning, although it was a night ahead of schedule, but still moved very quickly, when the sunset filled the sky, Chen Xi and his party set off.

  Watching the departing convoy, General Wei Chi sighed, "Dad, are you really at ease with Qingyan and Qinglian going to Xiccheng?"

  The old General Wei Chi curled his lips, not taking it to heart. "Since the Emperor has chosen her, as a subject, I can only obey and follow orders. Qingyan is also getting older, a big man with a strong personality, what's there to worry about? As for Qinglian, let her have her way this last time, after this, she will have to follow my arrangements."

  "Yes, Father is right. I'm afraid Qinglian is too impulsive. For some reason, this time seeing Princess Chi Yang, I feel that she's not simple, and I'm afraid Qinglian..."

  General Wei Chi waved his hand to interrupt him: "Don't think nonsense, don't just focus on personal relationships between men and women. If Princess Chiyang can make the emperor change his mind and let her return to her country, she will not be the same as before. If it's still the same as before, I'd rather rush to the capital to meet the emperor and be a loyal minister who dares to speak out against him!"

  "Yes, Father is meticulous, and I admire him!" General Yu Chi sighed. The clever Princess Chiyang understood that cooperating with the Emperor was a good thing, but it might not be a good thing for his daughter!

  As a father, how can he not worry about his children? Of course, if loyalty and filial piety must be chosen between, he would only follow his father's choice of loyalty.
