Chapter 211 Easy to deceive

The afternoon flew by.

The air after the rain is wet and has a hint of earth.

The streets were full of people returning home.

Looking at the young couple walking together, Feng Qingsui felt a subtle and joyful emotion in his heart.

It turns out that I have reached the age of puberty.

She thought to herself.

On the day her sister got married, she listened to others praising her brother-in-law, took her sister's hand and said, "When I grow up, I want to find a handsome man like my brother-in-law."

The man who was combing his sister's hair was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Silly girl, it's useless for a man to be handsome. He also needs to be caring and considerate."

"Then find someone who is handsome and considerate."

She replied.

The woman laughed heartily, "You have great ambitions! When you get married in the future, you must invite me to your wedding. I have lived for most of my life, and I have yet to meet many men who are perfect in every way."

Ji Changqing is good-looking, talented, can cook, and is also gentle and considerate. He can be said to be perfect.

No wonder she was in love.

But is Ji Changqing someone she can dream of?

He is her brother-in-law now.

He is still the prime minister of the current dynasty.

Even if she wanted to hold his hand and drag him away, she couldn't do it.

He has worked so hard to become second to none and above everyone else, can he give up everything and elope with her to be a wild and wild couple?

Even if he was willing to do so, she was not willing to do so.

The price of a prime minister's painting and that of an unknown scholar are not the same.

She sighed slightly.

Having too good an eye can also be a nuisance.

If she had taken a fancy to a poor scholar or a merchant, she wouldn't have been as conflicted as she is now.

But she didn't hesitate for long.

Her sister's revenge has not yet been completed, and her master is still trapped in the palace. She has a lot of things to do and has no time to think about men.

Ji Changqing still carries a deep blood feud, and he doesn't know what will happen tomorrow.

This is what she thought before returning to the county government office.

But when she saw Ji Changqing preparing another table of dishes for her to eat, she couldn't help but look at him twice more.

Broad shoulders, narrow waist, long legs, sword-like eyebrows, star-like eyes and a hanging nose.

The jawline is smooth and sharp, like the edge of a snow cliff that is about to melt; the Adam's apple is like a crane with its neck bent and singing, and it raises an arc on the honey-colored skin that seems to be about to fall but doesn't.

He is tall and graceful, with elegant demeanor, and his every move is full of breathtaking majesty and elegance.

The more I look at it, the more I like it.

Seeing her sitting there without picking up any food, Ji Changqing asked in confusion, "Is it not to your taste?"

Feng Qingsui came back to his senses, looked at his concerned eyes, and said with a smile: "I'm thinking about something."

"What is it?"

"Your eldest brother said that before every battle, he would ask you to write the word 'victory' for him, saying that your writing would protect him."

Feng Qingsui said seriously.

"Now that you're going out on your own, will you also write the word 'victory' for yourself?"

Ji Changqing: “???”

Why are you talking nonsense again for no reason?

"I never wrote the word 'sheng' for him," he said calmly, "and I wouldn't write one for myself either."

Feng Qingsui blinked. "So your elder brother was just kidding me, but he did tell me a lot of interesting stories about you brothers."

Ji Changqing: “…”

"for example?"

"For example, you secretly raised a snake, and the snake sneaked into your mother's room, scaring her, and you almost got your legs broken afterwards."

Ji Changqing looked at her steadily.

“We’ve never kept snakes.”

Feng Qingsui's eyes widened: "Why does he keep lying to me?"

Ji Changqing: “…”

Is it "he" who is telling lies, or is it she who is telling lies?

Catching a glint of cunning in her eyes, he suddenly realized that she was testing him.

She guessed that he had known from the beginning that she was pretending to be his eldest brother's widow.

After staring at each other for a few breaths, he looked away and said nonchalantly, "Maybe you are easier to fool."

Feng Qingsui: “…”

She knew that he didn't completely believe her words when she came to his house pretending to be Ji Changfeng's widow, but she thought that he at least believed it a little, otherwise he would not have agreed to let her marry Ji Changfeng.

Now I know that he probably didn't believe it at all.

How did he see her flaw?

Every time he heard her mention Ji Changfeng, he was just watching the show?

No wonder he was so unscrupulous and deliberate in using delicious food to seduce her. It turned out that he never considered her as his sister-in-law from the beginning to the end.

From the very beginning, the person who was deceived was not him, but her.

No wonder she sometimes sees him as Dahei.

Isn’t it just like Dahei, they are both real dogs.

She gave him a cold look and said, "You're not like your brother, lying to me all day long because you think I'm easy to fool, are you?"

Ji Changqing's heart trembled.

"I am naturally different from my elder brother."

He said calmly.

"If you don't eat now, the food will get cold."

Feng Qingsui: Haha.

Because they were going to Zhixian the next day, she and Wuhua started packing their luggage after dinner. After packing, they washed up and lay down to rest.

Perhaps because her confusion had disappeared, she slept well that night without having any dreams.

When she set out the next day, she found that there were only about two thousand soldiers from the Third Battalion of the Capital, and she couldn't help but wonder.

During the lunch break, he went to Ji Changqing and asked, "Are the rest of the soldiers left in Hong County to dig the canal?"

Ji Changqing: "They are infected with dysentery."

Feng Qingsui: “???”

How come she, the accompanying medical officer, didn't know that most of the soldiers were infected with dysentery overnight?

He immediately realized that this was a rumor he had spread among the rebels.

"Can they believe it?"

She asked suspiciously.

The rebels must have planted spies in Hong County. They are not so easy to fool, right?

"The rebels in Zhi County number five thousand," Ji Changqing replied. "Whether they believe it or not, they will come out to fight us once they see we only have two thousand."

Feng Qingsui was slightly stunned.

Does this guy intend to use only two thousand people against five thousand people, or... does he have a backup plan?

She didn't ask any further. After all, there were no walls in the wild, and she didn't know how many ears were hiding in the dark.

But seeing Ji Changqing's calm demeanor, he should be confident of victory.

She just waited to see him win the battle.

Not far away, Pei Yunzhan looked at Ji Changqing and Feng Qingsui standing side by side under the tree, whispering to each other, with his brows furrowed into the shape of the Chinese character "川".

Didn’t Feng Qingsui take his advice to heart?

Why are you still so close to Ji Changqing?

Is there some new disease that has been discovered?

"Master, the water is ready. Would you like to make some tea?"

The pine smoke interrupted his thoughts.

"Is it boiling?"

"It's been open for a while."

Pei Yunzhan withdrew his gaze and returned to the car to make tea.

After a day's trek on the muddy dirt road, they arrived at Zhicheng.

The scouts of the Zhicheng rebels had already found out the number of soldiers in the third battalion that came to attack the city. Initially, they thought that the enemy troops were divided into two groups, and more than half of them came by another route.

But after reading the news from the spies in Hong County, we learned that most of the people stayed in Hong County due to dysentery.

"Did our plan work?"

A deputy general of Zhicheng Chengtian Army with a scar on his face said happily.

They had previously driven all the villagers suffering from dysentery to Hong County in order to spread the dysentery to the imperial army and weaken its fighting capacity.

Another deputy general poured cold water on him: "It could also be fake news, deliberately trying to confuse us."

"But they only have 2,000 men, don't they?" the scarred lieutenant said. "We have 5,000 men, and we have the upper hand. We can definitely defeat them, right?"

“That’s true…”
