“Don’t worry, I’ll get someone to release them later. As long as you stay in this city obediently, I guarantee that no one will touch them,” the middle-aged man said with a smile.
“Thank you, General Shang. If you need me again, I’ll definitely go through fire and water.”
Hearing their conversation, Chu Feng’s eyes turned red with anger. “Chu
Sheng, you animal. You actually colluded with the enemy to commit treason.”
Chu Sheng lowered his head in shame. “I have no choice. I can’t ignore my parents and siblings.”
General Shang smiled in satisfaction before looking at Xuanyuan Ce, who had been silent. He cupped his hands and said with a fake smile, “Lord Jing’an, I’ve heard a lot about you.”
“Heh, I’m just an idle lord. How can I be as famous as Second Master?”
This “Second Master” was not General Shang’s ranking in the family, but in the
Wu Kingdom. No matter what he did, he was slightly inferior to Yan
Guangmao. As time passed, the title “Second Master” spread.
Xuanyuan Ce had stepped on General Shang’s sore spot. His face darkened and he instructed coldly, “Take him away.”
Something had happened at Nanling Pass. Little General Meng was targeted in a sneak attack, and someone threw her into the latrine pit.
Originally, only Meng Linyan and Yue Zhu knew about this. However, the master and servant were unlucky. The next day, as soon as they woke up and walked back to the official road, they encountered a group of soldiers transporting food to Qingyang City.
The news spread like wildfire. In less than a day, everyone in Nanling Pass knew.
Meng Linyan couldn’t say that she had lost her footing and fallen, so she could only tell people about the sneak attack.
Meng Wu was naturally furious at such an embarrassing matter. He immediately got someone to investigate.
However, Meng Linyan did not see the culprit at all. Only her own carriage left the city that day. Even if she suspected Shen Yijia, she had no evidence.
After investigating, they could only leave it at that.
However, this wasn’t the worst thing for Meng Linyan. When she found out that not only did Song Jingchen know that he had saved her, but he also asked her father for a reward of 100 taels of silver to offset the fact that he had saved her life back then, she was so angry that she spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
In addition, ever since he changed beds with his companion and his companion said that his neck hurt the next day, Liu Jinbao confirmed his guess and began to talk about how comfortable it was to sleep in his bed during the day. Before he fell asleep, he would secretly change beds with someone.
Sometimes, someone would see him lying down on his bed, but they would see another person lying on his bed the next day.
The person he changed beds with was not limited to his companions in his tent, making it impossible to figure out the pattern.
Four days passed peacefully. Liu Jinbao was feeling smug when something unlucky happened.
Among the many soldiers who wanted to experience his luxurious bed, he chose Liu Yang’s lackey.
At night, Liu Jinbao had just fallen asleep when he sensed something. He opened his eyes abruptly. The next moment, a hand reached over and covered his mouth and nose.
Liu Jinbao’s pupils constricted when he saw the black shadow standing by his bed through the moonlight. Without thinking, he pulled the sleeve arrow on his wrist.
The other party seemed to have expected this move and dodged it easily. This happened a few times in a row, and his mouth and nose were tightly covered by the other party. The lack of oxygen made it difficult for him to raise his hand.
“Behave yourself, or I’ll send you to the King of Hell now.” A cold threat came from the black shadow.
Although he had deliberately disguised himself, Liu Jinbao could still tell that it was Liu Yang.
Seeing that he took out a silver needle and was about to stab it into his neck, Liu Jinbao quickly twisted his neck and struggled.
Liu Yang sneered. “I’m sending you to enjoy life. Don’t be ungrateful.”
Before he could finish, the person who was struggling suddenly rolled his eyes and stopped moving.
Liu Yang stopped what he was doing and had an ominous feeling.
Liu Jinbao was someone the young general wanted. Even if he died, he couldn’t die now.
Thinking of this, he quickly let go of Liu Jinbao’s mouth and nose and reached out two fingers to check his breathing.
Unexpectedly, just as his hand approached, the person he thought he had accidentally killed suddenly grabbed his finger.
Liu Yang was shocked. “You...”
As soon as he said the word, his vision darkened and he fainted.
Liu Jinbao quickly stood up to avoid the person who fell on him. He held his breath and reached out to push him. Seeing that he didn’t react, he said, “I’m sorry.”
He stuffed the paper bag into her pocket proudly and couldn’t help but mutter,
“The medicine that girl gave me is really useful.”
Although he had confirmed it previously, he had no evidence after all. Now that he had the evidence...
Another sound rang out.
Liu Jinbao was speechless.
Damn, the medicine that girl gave him was so useful?
The snores in the tent were like thunder, easily covering up the commotion on Liu Jinbao’s side.
When the other man in black guarding the tent saw that Liu Yang did not come back, he went to check, and he saw two people lying together on a bed. noVe.lb-1n
His accomplices were speechless.
In the tent, the dim yellow candlelight danced. Liu Jinbao opened his eyes with difficulty and recognized at a glance that this was not the tent he lived in. His heart skipped a beat and he struggled to remember. The drug had not worn off yet, so he struggled to prop himself up and fell back down.
“You’re awake?”
A man’s voice sounded from the side.
Liu Jinbao turned around with difficulty and his pupils constricted. “Young
General Meng, you...”
Meng Shaoyuan’s clothes were wide open as he looked at the young man on the bed greedily.
The young man’s skin was fair, his long eyelashes were curled, and his eyebrows were handsome. Because he was still young, his facial features had yet to fully develop. He still looked androgynous, but it was precisely because of this that he looked even more lovable.
Meng Shaoyuan had played with countless youths, but he had never seen such a beautiful man.
That was not right. Song Huan was not inferior to the person in front of him at all.
However, it did not matter. One by one, they would not be able to escape his grasp.
Liu Jinbao felt nauseous under his gaze. Seeing him reach out, he gritted his teeth and rolled to the side of the bed. “What are you trying to do?”
Actually, when he realized that he was lying on the bed, he immediately thought of Song Jinghuan’s words. At the same time, he already had a guess.
He did not expect someone who usually looked righteous to be so dirty in private.
Meng Shaoyuan’s hand paused in midair. He looked at the young man in front of him who was curled up like a frightened cat and smiled.
“You’re so afraid now. You’ll only beg me to dote on you later.” A porcelain bottle appeared in his hand. “Eat this. Believe me, you’ll like it.”
“Don’t come over.” Liu Jinbao felt nauseous. He used his last bit of strength to roar, “This is the military camp. If you come any closer, I’ll call for help.”
“Scream, then.” Meng Shaoyuan reached out and pulled him back. He pinched his chin and rubbed it gently. He smiled. “The more you shout at me, the more excited I get.”
As he spoke, he forced Liu Jinbao to open his mouth. He bit off the stopper of the porcelain bottle and poured it into his mouth..
