Gazing at the bright moon in the night sky, Qi Guanyan faintly smiled.
The moon had been hanging in the sky since ancient times, year after year, eternally unchanging. It was admired, worshipped, and praised by all intelligent creatures. It carried beautiful wishes and hopes, evolving into beautiful stories.
Such as love, such as lovesickness.
Just like now, Qi Guanyan missed his wife who had left him not too long ago.
Although he missed her, the pain and worry had gradually faded away, leaving behind only a faint sorrow and a faint warmth. Those sweet, painful, sorrowful, angry, all emotions and memories would ultimately transform into a very simple love, stored in his heart and carefully treasured until eternity.
He softly sighed and took one last look at the house not too far behind him.
There was a bright light there, and there was a man and five women. He was a little worried.
But … five of them.
He felt that they deserved it.
He sighed, shook his head, and turned around, wanting to leave this troublesome place.
Suddenly, from the corner of his eye, he noticed a subtle movement in the darkness to the side.
Who was it?
His eyes darkened and his body suddenly tensed up. Assuming a defensive posture, he walked over step by step, vast and surging true energy gathering in his palms.
When he got closer, he suddenly froze, his expression becoming extremely strange.
In front of him was a fake mountain. Behind the fake mountain, two figures were furtively poking their heads out and whispering to each other.
He knew these two people, and they had even fought side by side just now. It was hard to imagine that these two people, with their identities, would actually hide their heads and show their tails like bandits …
The moment he noticed them, the two also noticed him. Hu Shouxin and Lu Shouyan both turned their heads, and the three of them silently looked at each other for a while. The Provincial Overseer and the ranger leader both revealed awkward and polite smiles.
Qi Guanyan was confused for a moment, but he soon understood. He involuntarily said, "You're …"
The two thieves trying to eavesdrop turned pale with fright and gestured for him to keep quiet. Hu Shouxin fiercely said, "Keep your voice down!
If you're discovered by Sun Lang, you won't be able to escape! "
The honest and simple General Qi took a step back, drawing a clear line between him and the two thieves. He would never do something like eavesdropping. The General cupped his hands. "Farewell!"
"Wait!" Mingzhou's governor, Lu Shouyan, suddenly stopped him.
Lord Lu was a civil official and had a lot of political experience. He knew the importance of a united front. In the imperial court, it was important to gather power to do big things, especially big things like this. They had to pull in as many allies as possible to reduce the risk. Even if they were discovered by the marshal, there would be one more person to beat up.
Thus, he revealed a mysterious smile and said softly, "That was the Grand Marshal who dominated his generation back in the day. Don't you want to see such a peerless figure's inner residence catch fire?"
"…" Qi Guanyan said awkwardly, "This … isn't too good after all …"
What kind of person was Lord Lu? He had long seen that Qi Guanyan was moved, but he lacked a reason to convince his conscience … For a civil official, this was too easy.
Therefore, he said, "This is not for the sake of watching a show!
Think about it, we don't dare to get involved in such a big matter, but we can't just walk away either. We have to wait outside and wait for an opportunity to take action. If there are really knives and spears inside and blood is seen, we can still stop them, right? "
Qi Guanyan was obviously moved. After all, in this world, no one was a saint.
Therefore, Hu Shouxin and Lu Shouyan smiled brightly and waved at Qi Guanyan.
The general hesitated for a moment, then finally walked over quietly.
He knew that under the faint moonlight tonight, the governor of Mingzhou, Lu Shouyan, and the military general of Tianyuan, Hu Shouxin, had become good friends with the general of Mingzhou, Qi Guanyan.
Sun Lang had no idea what was going on outside.
In fact, if it was any other day, with his martial arts and spiritual senses, he should be able to easily notice the three thieves who dared to eavesdrop. But today, the marshal's senses and detection skills were clearly affected by debuffs such as [Shuraba's Crisis] and [Woodcutter's Interrogation], and they became sluggish.
He panicked, he was very panicked, really panicked.
Sun Lang, the new harem man, was in a predicament. There was not much time left for him.
Don't panic, don't panic … First, calm down. This matter is not that bad, is it?
Let's not talk about Zhao Yunlong, who would stand by his side no matter what.
Let's not talk about Butler Xu, who was like a buy one get one free deal.
Let's not talk about Master Lu, who already knew that Sister Lin and Sister Bao came first.
In other words … Eh, there are only two people!
In other words, as long as I deal with Yinluo and Miss Zhao, everything will be fine!?
… My ass!
Chao Po-tao is also very excited right now!
Look at this, look at that, she also seems very excited!
Butler Xu is also looking at me like I'm a piece of trash!
Master Lu seemed to be enjoying the show as well!
Sun Lang looked left and right. The girls on both sides were smiling like flowers. Normally, this kind of happiness would be like a dream, but now, he felt like Freddy had entered his dream.
He swallowed and said carefully, "I'm sleepy …"
Zhang Yinluo nodded. "Then we'll ask quickly, and you'll answer quickly. After that, you can go back to sleep."
Sun Lang laughed out loud. "Ask … ask what ah …"
Miss Zhao smiled. "Of course it's about Sun Lang. Where did you go before?"
Sun Lang slapped the table and said excitedly, "That's a long story. Come, come, come, sit down. Pour me a glass of water and we'll talk slowly. Today, we arrived first …"
Yinluo knocked on the table and said with a smile, "Aren't you sleepy?
Let's make it short. Did you go to the imperial envoy camp this time? Who did you meet? "
Sun Lang's saliva flew everywhere as he said, "After meeting many old friends!
Have you heard of Qian Yuanshuang?
He's the son of Ba Du Army's Grand Marshal Qian Miao. He's in charge of the Zhenwu Camp, fourth-class Ma Run. He's very brave!
There's also that guy in charge of the Wu Liu Camp. Aiyaya, anyway, they're all very brave people. Let me tell you, these are all my sons' generation. They're all my nephews. They have to call you aunts … "
Miss Zhao heard this and her eyes lit up. She said in surprise, "Is that so!?"
Yinluo didn't buy it. She blushed and spat. Seeing that Sun Lang was still stubbornly resisting, she became impatient. She moved closer to Sun Lang and said with a smile, "You know what we want to ask. Sun Lang, how many women did you see this time?"
Sun Lang nodded. "Of course I saw them!
Courrier!
Li Huo Yan Guard, Death Messenger, excellent Mecha pilot, female hero who abandoned the dark for the light … "
"She's not that muscular woman!"
Sun Lang said again, "Oh, it's the enemy … Then of course it's because I saw the big boss of this level!
That's right!
I saw the Empress!
I haven't seen her for two years and she's become even scarier. She spits fire, her waist is eight feet wide, and she's extremely strong. She can eat ten children in one meal … "
Zhao Yunlong was shocked. "She eats children!?"
Sun Lang hit her head. "You don't have the right to speak!"
He was about to say something else when he heard Zhang Yinluo say bitterly, "You told me before that you won't hide anything from me …"
Before Sun Lang could say anything, Zhao Feihuang jumped up. "Ha!
Sun Lang, you're biased! "
Lu Shu-jen said coldly, "Aiyo, I didn't know you were such an honest person."
Zhao Yunlong was also unhappy. "Sun Lang!
You'll answer whatever she asks?
I remember asking you before if you can let me see when you hide in the tent and do that at night. You also said no! "
Thus, everyone revealed a shocked expression of "you actually f * cked a dog" as they stared at Sun Lang.
… Who the f * ck is f * cking f * ck!
This was based on the premise that Xu Qingluan stayed out of it. The other four women could give him a headache after three or four rounds of bombardment. How did that guy who started a harem of more than a hundred do it?!
He took a deep breath and jumped up. "Okay, okay, okay!
Be quiet!
I'll answer!
I'll answer, okay?!
You're all forcing me and not caring about me. You let me, a simple and kind child, carry so many things, and now you're bullying me like this … "
At this point, Sun Lang pretended to sob a few times. "I'll confess, I'll confess, okay … Alas …"
He sighed, a sorrowful look on his face. His eyes were full of fatigue, as if the heavy burden on his shoulders was too much for him to bear. Seeing Sun Lang like this, the girls' hearts suddenly softened.
Sun Lang picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and continued, "Tonight is a special day. The moon is very round and wonderful tonight. I think I'll meet unexpected people …"
It was obviously nonsense, but after Sun Lang's previous emotional foreshadowing, everyone felt that it was still nonsense in their hearts, but they were too embarrassed to interrupt him, so they could only listen quietly.
But at this moment, a cold light flashed in Sun Lang's eyes.
Now was the time!
He suddenly shouted, "Who are you? How dare you eavesdrop!"
Then, he brazenly struck out with his palm. A sharp and formless Sword Qi shot out from his hand and slashed the door into pieces. The gentle moonlight shone on the stone floor and dyed it with a snow-white brilliance.
Everyone's gaze passed through the shattered door and focused on the three people who were tiptoeing in this direction.
Hu Shouxin, Lu Shouyan, and Qi Guanyan.
The three big shots in the Ming Province looked sneaky.
The air suddenly became quiet.
After an unknown amount of time, there was a crisp sound. The teacup in Sun Lang's hand fell to the ground and shattered, waking everyone up from their stupor.
They saw Sun Lang's face full of disbelief. He stretched out his hand, and his fingers trembled as he pointed at the three idiots. His eyes were full of pain and anger. "You … You all …"
The grand marshal's angry roar echoed in the sky above Marquis Jingan fu.
"— — They really were fucking eavesdropping outside ahhhhh!"
