After deceiving the villain, I was forced to love him.

Chapter 81: Arguing with pedestrians on the street

After reviewing Lu Jianzhen's words, Baili Ce finally understood why Wang Qingyan had suddenly become angry.

She used to think that the emperor's words were utter garbage, and that someone as clever as her didn't need them at all!

now--

It is really needed.

It was as if it had been tailor-made for her.

That dog emperor is indeed something else.

But Wang Qingyan hasn't returned since he left yesterday, giving her no chance to apologize.

so......

Forget it, apologies aren't really that important.

Anyway, you'll get over it eventually.

Because not being afraid of anything sounds really unbelievable.

If Bai Lizhe said that he wasn't suffering from mushroom poisoning, he would find it hard to believe there was any other answer.

She wasn't scared?!

Are you blind?

She was terrified that day, how can you say she wasn't scared?

That's giving her way too much credit.

It turns out that in a lover's eyes, not only is beauty seen in Xi Shi, but also in a leopard's courage.

But it is impossible to admit.

I will never admit it in this lifetime.

So she started staying in her room and reading.

From ancient tales to historical records of various dynasties.

Or he would practice calligraphy intensively for five hours straight.

Or else, he would go out, turn left, open the second-floor window, and start arguing with pedestrians on the street.

Anyway, they wouldn't dare to come up and beat her up.

In short, try to stay rational and not let yourself be influenced by Wang Qingyan.

"Hey! That ugly freak!" Bai Lize spotted another passerby perfect for a fight.

"You ugly freak in black with pigtails, I'm talking to you!"

The young man in black looked around, then looked up, pointed to himself, and asked, "Hmm?"

"Yes, I'm talking about you!"

"Ugly!"

The young man in black instantly flew into a rage, jumped up, and pointed at her, shouting, "Who are you calling names?!"

"You're the ugly one! You say I'm ugly? I'm handsome as a feather, I'm dead handsome!"

Does it mean that when the wind blows, dandruff falls all over the ground?

"Oh, so you don't wash your hair? Hmm~"

"nausea!"

"you!"

A vendor who had set up a stall nearby quickly grabbed the young man in black, saying, "Brother, brother, let it go, don't bother with her, that woman is crazy."

"Exactly! Ignore her!"

"Exactly, let's go, let's go, we can't be bothered to argue with her."

Bai Lize burst into laughter from the second-floor window, "Hahaha, such a grown man going out in the street without washing his hair, he has no manners at all!"

The young man in black listened to the advice and was about to leave when he heard Baili Ce cursing at him again. He couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "Crazy woman! You're the one who doesn't wash your hair, are you sick in the head?!"

After hurling insults, he was about to leave.

Bai Lize quickly provoked him again, "Oh dear, the black dog tucked its tail and ran away!"

"Hey, what did I ever do to you? Why are you insulting me?!"

"If you curse again, believe me, I'll come up here and beat you up!" The guy in black started rolling up his sleeves.

"Let's see if you can get up here first, hehe~"

Then he took a leap and jumped up to the second floor.

A cheer erupted from downstairs, "Bravo!"

"Give this madman a good talking-to!"

"That's right, teach her a lesson!"

"Give her a good beating."

"Such a big girl, and she has no manners at all!"

"..."

"Hey, not bad skills." Bai Li Ce, who was prepared, grabbed a bamboo pole and blocked the young man in black.

The young man in black clung to the window, one foot pinned inside by Baili Ce, the other foot and most of his body outside, his left hand gripping the frame, his right hand dangling in the air. "You...you better not do anything reckless..."

"Hmph..." Bai Li Ce curled his lips into a forced smile.

He shoved him down with a pole, yelling, "Go!"

"Bang! Ah..."

"Oh, this is none of my business."

"Yeah, I suddenly remembered that I haven't gone to the toilet today."

"It's time to go home and cook."

The crowd of "righteous" people downstairs dispersed again, and the young man in black, resigned to his fate, got up and limped away...

"Hey~" Baili Ce threw the bamboo pole aside and clapped his hands happily.

Wang Qingyan appeared behind her at some point. "Happy now?"

"I'm so happy~"

What kind of passerby could change clothes so many times and walk past the inn dozens of times in one morning?

And what kind of legitimate vendors would neglect serving customers and selling their wares, only caring about admiring the scenery of the inn?

Do you really think she's an idiot?

"It seems some people are still not giving up."

"That's for sure. After all, we're outnumbered and outmatched right now. It wouldn't be right not to take this opportunity to try a few more times."

Bai Li Ce followed him back to his room, and as he passed Tong Niang's room, he kicked her door.

"Tch, what a culprit~" Tongniang, who had been eavesdropping at the door, quickly went back to sit down.

"But dragging this out isn't a solution."

They can afford to wait, but Lu Jian cannot.

"Don't worry, they will definitely make their move by tomorrow night at the latest."

Pushing open the door, one sees a sheet of Xuan paper on the table, all of which represent Baili Ce's achievements from the morning.

The newest one on the cover was written by Wang Qingyan.

She had seen his handwriting before; it truly reflected his handsome appearance and refined demeanor. But this time...

She picked it up and looked at it, "Hey, it looks like my handwriting."

If it weren't for her, I wouldn't recognize her.

"I studied it for a while, so of course it looks similar, but yours is still better looking."

"Yours is more powerful."

Ignoring the problem, Baili Ce put away the paper and pen and placed them on the windowsill.

She still wanted to try again, "Maybe I should prepare for both possibilities, just in case..."

Wang Qingyan was as confident as if he had the lives of those powerful families in his hands: "There won't be any mishaps, they will definitely fall for it."

What if we don't fall for it?

Whether Lu Jian wins or loses is of no consequence.

If he survives, it proves that he is indeed the Son of Heaven.

If he is replaced, it is because he is incompetent.

“Okay,” Baili Ce looked at him firmly and calmly, no longer arguing, “Then there’s no ‘what if’.”

"However, Lin Fusi has been imprisoned for so many days, he must have suffered a lot, so we still need to prepare a doctor in advance."

It's obvious without even thinking that Lin Yuchuan had been subjected to inhuman torture; all we could ask for was for him to stay alive.

"We should also pay close attention to the movements of the county government. If necessary, I would like to go there in person to prevent them from making any secret moves."

Wang Qingyan refused her again, saying, "I've already made arrangements for this. You can just relax and enjoy the show."

Bai Li Ce paused slightly, and couldn't help but regret speaking too quickly yesterday.

But then I thought, whether she said that yesterday or not, it shouldn't affect his current plans for himself.

Moreover, this situation will definitely occur more often in the future, and she absolutely cannot let him have his way.

"I have things I want to do."

"You say this won't work, that won't work, do you think I'm a child?"

Bai Li Ce thought he had been very polite, after all, she hadn't even put on a stern face.

However, Wang gave the most reasonable explanation.

"Although the county government is in the hands of the Imperial Guards, there are still many people and eyes around, and they didn't listen to me the last few times I went there."

"It's clear they don't trust us. If we go again, they might suspect we have ulterior motives."

That's possible. After all, Wang Qingyan's strength in the previous campaign against the private army was no less than that of the private army itself.

"The important thing is that I suspect Li Tong gave them some kind of strict order before he disappeared, which is why they have been hiding in the county government office and refusing to come out."

"If you go, I'm afraid it will disrupt their plans."

"..." It was all logical and well-founded; she had no choice but to believe it.

"Therefore, you'd better not go anywhere until things become clear."

call......

I took a deep breath and reviewed Lu Jianzhen's words once more.

Bai Lize finally convinced himself not to argue, "Okay, I'll listen to you then."

And I kept comforting myself, staying in my room, with food and drink, and people to talk to and to keep me company, it really was—

Very good!

"Also, when I'm not around, don't... stand out too much."

The amount of trouble Bai Li Ce has caused these past few days is so bad that he's almost run out of tactful words to describe it.

Conspicuous?

If you want to say she's a troublemaker, just say so.
