Sun Lang and Zhang Yinluo had already left, but Hu Shouxin was still standing in the same place, silent, not saying a word.
Zhao Yunlong slowly approached him. Her face was no longer filled with joy and naivety after reuniting with Sun Lang after a long time. Instead, it was the demeanor of a general of the Heaven's Origin Sector. She looked at Hu Shouxin and shook her head. "I was already prepared to attack. Why did you have to do that? Judging from how he was just now, he probably wanted to kill you. If he accidentally killed you, he would regret it for the rest of his life."
Hu Shouxin forced a smile. "You've just reunited with him, and you're already being looked down upon?
This happened because of me. It doesn't matter if I'm the bad guy again. "
Zhao Yunlong smiled casually. "If I was the one who did it, he would just glare at me and kick me a few times afterwards. Besides, even if he really wanted to hit me, I could've just run away and come back after he calmed down. Isn't this how it's always been?
All I had to do was hide for a while and come back with my tail between my legs, pretending to be pitiful. After he glared at me a few times, he would laugh out loud first … "
Hu Shouxin also laughed. "That's the only move you know … but it works every time."
He slowly exhaled and shook off the cold sweat on his hands. Wiping it on his clothes, he seemed to have just come back to his senses. He sighed deeply. "Damn it. I didn't think much of it before, but it really scared me to death now … If I were to be chopped up by this kid, how am I supposed to live my life as a widow and an orphan? Especially when I don't know which wild boar will take my precious daughter in the future … Ahhhhhhh … I'm terrified just thinking about it!"
Zhao Yunlong glanced at him from the corner of her eyes. It was indeed impossible for a single woman to understand the thoughts of a married man. She casually swung her spear a few times and pointed it at the night sky of Mingzhou City. "You've caused quite a ruckus today. The Imperial Astronomer probably already noticed that you used the thunderous bow. How are you going to explain it to the imperial court?
Besides, it's not just the imperial astronomer. Everyone in Mingzhou who hasn't slept tonight can hear your thunder and lightning. The people who will come to Zhong Yi Building to ask questions tomorrow will probably break the doorway. How are you going to beat around the bush?
What's more, now that the monster is dead, what will you do if the organization behind him refuses to let the matter rest? "
Hu Shouxin said shamelessly, "General Zhao, why don't you take the blame for me …"
Zhao Yunlong rolled his eyes. "Fine, fine, fine. Since that monster is already dead, we'll just push all the blame onto him.
As for the reason, wasn't it already there?
My naughty little sister ran away from home and ran to Mingzhou City. She was discovered by you. You sent a letter to me, and I rushed there through the night. I happened to see this monster trying to kill my little sister, so I killed him with a shot. No one can find fault with me … "
Old Hu was stunned. "I'm just kidding. After all, you're still a general of the imperial court. If you're found to have left your post without permission, the higher-ups will blame you …"
"Blame me …" General Zhao snorted. "Don't you know the current situation in the imperial court?
The war has ended, and there's peace and prosperity. Some things that were inconvenient during wartime are now ripe.
The country's treasures, the country's legacy, the position of Crown Prince is really coveted … At this juncture, who in the imperial court would dare to make things difficult for us?
At most, we'll be reprimanded and fined a bit of our salary. "
After saying this, she laughed to herself. "If an imperial edict really strips me of my position and takes away my military power, I'll just pack up my things and run over to Sun Lang. It'll be a wonderful thing."
Hu Shouxin laughed as well. Then he said slowly, "It's best not to do that … You're in Songzhou and have military power. It'll be better for him.
Chao Po-tao, although Sun Lang won't tell me what happened in the battle at Dahuang Mountain, I can still guess some things from some clues.
When I met him again, his eyes were filled with sincere joy, but there was also a faint sense of vigilance and alienation. Do you know what this means … "
Zhao Yunlong's expression slowly became serious. A sharp light flashed in his eyes. "No wonder he hasn't come to find us in these two years … Old Hu, who can be trusted?"
Hu Shouxin shook his head. "I don't know … At least for now, it's better not to let more people know.
Sun Lang's attitude is unclear, and the situation in the imperial court is also unclear. In short, I'll go back and make a list of people who can be trusted. After sifting through them, I'll definitely let them know in the future.
Hmm, other than those guys, there are also people who can be trusted: Sima Yi, Yue Buqun, Dongfang Wansheng, Gao Qiu, Tong Guan … "
Zhao Yunlong nodded slightly. Before he said anything, hurried footsteps and Dongfang Xin's shout came from behind. "Hey, that cow nose, you're just going to let him lie there!?"
"Oh, about that. That Daoist priest's injuries aren't light, so it's not suitable for him to move around. I've already ordered my subordinates to prepare a soft bed and invite a famous doctor over. He'll be here soon."
Old Hu gave Zhao Yunlong a look that said, "Little girl, it's getting late. You should go back. Leave this Daoist priest to us. You don't have to worry."
"Who would worry about an unfamiliar cow nose!"
Dongfang Xin rolled his eyes at Hu Shouxin, then ran forward and grabbed Zhao Yunlong's sleeve. He had a look of disappointment on his face, "What are you still standing here for?
Your idiot has already been hooked away by a cow spirit!
They ran away just like that!
You're still chatting here?
Why aren't you chasing after him? "
Zhao Yunlong and Hu Shouxin looked at each other and laughed out loud, then reached out and patted Dongfang Xin's head: "Little girl, your mind is filled with all these messy things, what rich guy, what cow spirit, I see that girl's breasts are full, and her butt is perky, with one look, I can tell that she can give birth, and her personality is not bad, to actually be able to take Sun Lang, she can be considered a good match, don't talk nonsense."
Dongfang Xin covered his head and stomped his feet, "Then what's going on with you!
Wasn't Sun Lang your old lover from before?
After seeing him, his tiger face turned into a dog face. He was just short of sticking out his tongue and wagging his tail. You don't have anything to do with him?
I won't believe it even if I'm beaten to death.
Let me tell you, it's fine if you're a little muddle-headed, but you definitely can't be a coward now!
If you really miss out on Sun Lang, then no man in this world will be willing to marry you! "
"If no one marries, then no one marries. What's the big deal?"
General Zhao snorted, "Don't spout nonsense, Sun Lang and I are fellow brothers, a life and death friendship, not the kind of superficial relationship between men and women …"
"Pfft!"
There is no such thing as a pure friendship between men and women! "Dongfang Xin stomped his feet and said," And you don't plan on getting married?
And not looking for a son-in-law?
Then what about the Zhao Family's incense?
Don't expect me to carry on the family line! "
"About that …" Zhao Yunlong rubbed his chin in a serious manner, "Indeed, it doesn't matter if I don't marry, but the inheritance of incense is a big deal. However, I've been thinking about this for a long time …"
She raised a finger, nodded, and said in all seriousness, "When you want to pass down the incense, you might as well borrow a seed from Sun Lang …"
"Lend your head my ass!
This is called a life and death friendship!
"Dongfang Xin grabbed her sister and dragged her away," Since you want to borrow … Why don't you just get married!
"Go, go, go!"
"Wait, you damned girl …" Zhao Yunlong frowned, "I feel like you're very excited …"
Nonsense, you're so obedient in front of Sun Lang, like a little wife. If you marry Sun Lang in the future, and I build a good relationship with brother-in-law, then it's time for me to turn the tables. Although this was what he was thinking, Dongfang Xin still shouted, "I'm worried about your life!
"Hurry up and go, come with me …"
