Chapter 857 By the way

Potato shreds rolls are a rare treat for someone with an empty stomach.

Lin Yuesha took a bite of her crepe and glanced at Qi Heng subconsciously. He had changed into the pockmarked face mask that Lin Yuesha was familiar with, and his face was expressionless.

After finishing the pancake, Lin Yuesha gradually regained her composure.

Before losing consciousness, she worried that she might get handsy with Qi Heng under the influence of sex, so she bravely let him knock her unconscious.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Heng did as he was told, his movements swift and decisive without the slightest hesitation.

Lin Yuesha was filled with mixed emotions and tried her best not to recall that embarrassing moment.

Fortunately, he didn't take advantage of Qi Heng, didn't do anything shameful, and escaped with his life, so everyone was happy.

Inside the car, the atmosphere was silent for a while. After Xu Da had eaten and drunk his fill and regained some strength, he first sincerely thanked Qi Heng and said, "Qi Heng, I had some reservations about you before. I always thought you were a deep and scheming person who would plot against people without leaving a trace. But being your ally is a fortunate thing."

Xu Da was wearing chains weighing dozens of kilograms. If Qi Heng hadn't used a key to unlock them, he would have suffered greatly and would never have been able to escape so easily.

"It was just something I did on the spur of the moment, you don't need to take it to heart."

Qi Heng spoke casually, but he genuinely took the key from Yuwen Kun without any trouble.

How did you manage to do that?

Lin Yuesha was greatly surprised. She had been following the Great Demon King and had been tormented so much that she had no idea that Yuwen Kun had already replicated the key and planned to rescue Xu Da.

Before this, Yuwen Kun kept his mouth shut and didn't reveal anything. Lin Yuesha couldn't figure out his thoughts, so she kept a close eye on him.

He went to the main kitchen.

Qi Heng did not say what happened inside the main kitchen.

Lin Yuesha guessed that, given Yuwen Kun's behavior, he might make things difficult for the stuttering woodcutter. In order to avoid revealing his identity, Qi Heng could not get angry and had to act submissively and cooperate.

Men are all concerned about their image, so Lin Yuesha wisely didn't pursue the matter further.

Details don't matter. Everyone has to be a sycophant at times. It's all for survival. Please understand!

Qi Heng didn't explain, and Lin Yuesha just misunderstood.

The truth is simple: Yuwen Kun was passing by the main kitchen when he suddenly had a whim to cook for Lin Yuesha. However, being clumsy, he ended up burning a bowl of noodles.

While Yuwen Kun was doing cooking, Qi Heng took the initiative to approach him and swiped the key.

Xu Da was led astray by Lin Yuesha and automatically imagined that Qi Heng had sacrificed a lot for the key. His eyes reddened, but he revealed a smile. From this day forward, he, Xu Da, was Qi Heng's brother!

“We’re not brothers, but now that I’ve married Yue Sha, you’re my brother-in-law.”

Qi Heng made the relationship clear and explicit to remind Lin Yuesha that, regardless of whether it was an act or not, the two were already married and husband and wife.

"We had no choice but to do this because of Young Master Luo's last wish..."

Lin Yuesha thought that once Luo Wang's injuries improved, she could explain the situation, after all, she had made a great sacrifice. However, Qi Heng denied the relationship between the two, leaving her no room for argument.

"Why don't you explain this to the soldiers of Daqi?"

Qi Heng leaned against the car wall in a very lazy posture, posing a difficult problem for Lin Yuesha.

You've already boarded the pirate ship; thinking you can escape is not so easy!

Lin Yuesha felt deceived. She glanced at Xu Da and said angrily, "It's all your fault!"

"If you two can't reach an agreement, don't drag innocent people into it. What does this have to do with me?"

Xu Da resolutely refused to take the blame, otherwise he would be the one to suffer.

Multiple painful lessons taught him that he must not get involved in this matter, and he had developed an instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm.

"It's all your fault! You said the backpack I made saved your life, that I'm a lucky charm reincarnated..."

Blame it on Xu Da for boasting, which somehow led to a flurry of rumors.

"The problem is that I'm stating the facts."

Xu Da looked completely innocent; he had simply expressed his feelings and gratitude. Little did he know that the soldiers of Daqi would remember the existence of the koi fish and become increasingly superstitious.

"Cousin, I think you should stop struggling. You and Qi Heng are already engaged, and marriage is just a matter of time."

If you can't change the outcome, you have to try to accept it.

Xu Da tried to persuade Lin Yuesha, saying that he had been deeply moved by being captured by the alien race.

"Actually, in the first few days, I was tortured by Helian Cheng. I was filled with resentment and thought that I would get out sooner or later, kill Helian Cheng, and kick his head like a ball to get revenge..."

Xu Da was locked in the dungeon every day, and the various verbal insults from Helian Cheng made him lose his fighting spirit and even think that he was a burden.

With no news from the Great Qi, and in the pitch-black environment, they could only fill their stomachs with boiled cabbage.

"Cousin, thank you."

Xu Da thanked him sincerely, but what he didn't say was that he had already had the thought of ending his own life that day.

If he lives, Qi Heng and Luo Wang will try to save him. This is extremely dangerous and may require the loss of even more people. Is his life more valuable than others'?

Xu Da thought it over carefully and realized that he was not worth it.

If he had died, his brothers would have avenged him. He didn't yield, which makes him a true man.

"After Helian Cheng tortured me severely, he also put me in a 'soft bone powder' (a traditional Chinese medicine for sluggishness).

Xu Da was weak and listless, like a lump of mud. He couldn't live if he wanted to, and he couldn't die if he wanted to. Those few days were the most difficult to endure.

"Cousin, you've finally made it through, so don't have any more foolish ideas."

Lin Yuesha understood Xu Da's implied meaning and quickly comforted him. Although she had made some mistakes when she arrived at Helian Cheng's residence, Lin Yuesha was satisfied with herself, at least she was brave enough.

"Yes, I didn't expect you to have such a brilliant idea."

Helian Cheng planned to use Miaoyin to impersonate Lin Yuesha and deceive Yuwen Kun, but Lin Yuesha switched back herself and extracted a lot of information from Helian Cheng.

Qi Heng took out a map of the alien city's defenses from his pocket and handed it to Xu Da.

"Why did you give it to me?"

Lin Yuesha was praising herself when Qi Heng interrupted her, as both she and Xu Da were focused on the city defense map.

"Write it down carefully."

There are spies from other ethnic groups in the Qi army camp. Qi Heng does not intend to show this city defense map to any fourth person besides the three of them.

"Are you doubting Young Master Luo?"

Xu Da was so startled he almost dropped the wine pot. He and Xiao Chengyu were close friends for many years. The Prince of Luo was a carefree and uninterested man, with no interest in politics whatsoever, and could not possibly have any ambitions.

"no."

The King of Luo was Qi Heng's nominal uncle, so he was naturally a trustworthy person.

The King of Luo was a man of great vision and wisdom, who admired learned people and had a heart that loved his people like his own children. He was more suitable to be a ruler than Qi Heng.

Unfortunately, the Prince of Luo had no such intention. He did not want to get married or have children. In his words, even if he became the ruler, there would be another upheaval a hundred years later, with unrelated people fighting tooth and nail for that position. Why bother?

The spy wasn't Prince Luo. After spending some time at Helian City's residence, Qi Heng already had a good idea of ​​who it was. Now he was just waiting for that person to show their true colors.
