General, you should rest now; the lady is even more ruthless.

Chapter 286 A scholar can be killed but not humiliated

If you ask Jiang Qiqi to name the most inconvenient thing about ancient times.

That must be because the information transmission is too slow.

Just like Shen Luo's letter, it took four or five days to reach her;

Even now, despite using the special carrier pigeons trained by the General's Mansion, it has been more than a day since the news of Shen Luo's coma arrived.

"Nineteen." She read the letter carefully three times. "Lead the way, we'll interrogate and send it together tonight."

"Qiqi." The curtain was lifted and Cheng Zixian walked in. "Don't worry about Qi Ji's matter. You should go back to the capital now."

His tone seemed a few decibels slower than usual, as if he were thinking: "Shen Luo's current situation is unclear; he needs you."

"You just told me during the day that this is a battlefield, not a place to play around."

"Shen Luo is very important to you."

"Cheng Zixian!" Jiang Qiqi called him in this tone for the first time. "What do you take me for?"

That's right, they're no longer spies, but Jiang Qiqi can't bring herself to sacrifice the bigger picture for her own interests.

It's easy for her to leave, but once she's gone, will Nineteen and Twelve listen to others?

will not.

Sixteen and Qi Yu's plan still requires her cooperation. Can Cheng Zixian take over the whole thing?

No.

And what about Xiang'er and Lin'er, who are now impersonating her in the city? Will they be able to stop halfway?

Of course not.

"I can still tell right from wrong," she said, and walked past.

Cheng Zixian was left standing there. After clenching his fists and taking two short breaths, he turned around and followed.

Jiang Qiqi left quickly, feeling sullen.

What the hell is wrong with this world?

Why does the whole world suddenly look down on her?

The deceased General Wu was like this, Qi Ji was like this, Shen Luo was like this, and now even Bai Xiong is like this.

Does she have "more trouble than she's worth" written on her forehead?

Upon entering the tent where Qi Ji was imprisoned, he suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Qiqi asked irritably.

"I'm laughing at your pathetic face." Although Qi Ji was under someone else's roof, he still enjoyed seeing his enemy's embarrassed expression.

"Mrs. Shen, could it be that something happened to Shen Luo?"

"Heh," Jiang Qiqi was no longer angry after his interruption, "So what if it is or isn't?"

"Nothing much, I just wanted to see the lady's reaction."

Just from the fact that she dared to act as bait alone, he knew that Madam Shen Luo was no ordinary woman.

If Shen Luo dies, then...

"What are you thinking about?" Shen Luo has been unconscious for a day, and Jiang Qiqi is not in a hurry at all.

“My husband is indeed not doing well, but you seem to be doing quite well.”

Under her ambiguous gaze, Qi Ji shivered violently.

"What do you want to do? You should know that killing me will not help peace between our two countries."

The Northern Ming Dynasty did not want war, but their eldest prince needed this victory.

In contrast, Nan Yue was even more terrified of this war without Shen Luo in command.

"I know." Jiang Qiqi produced a small knife from somewhere and swung it around in her hand nonchalantly.

Shuai had a bad feeling.

"General Qi, you may not know this, but I am a very narrow-minded woman. I particularly enjoy tormenting my enemies and especially enjoy making them retaliate in kind."

She smiled, but it was a sixteen-year-old face, not exactly sweet.

"Is General Qi married yet? Does he have any children?"

My sixth sense is screaming wildly!

Qi Ji instinctively clenched his legs together: "A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!"

"It's okay, it'll be quick." Jiang Qiqi tried her best to keep her smile friendly. "It'll be quick, sister."

"Don't come any closer!!!" Qi Ji was a tough guy who had experienced life and death.

But this time is different, things might not go as planned—

The words "tough" and "manly" don't apply to him at all.

"I didn't harm Shen Luo; I was just ordered to fight a war."

Also, he's not married yet!
