Dou Shiliu knew the reason for the lingering sorrow in her eyes, but she had no intention of unraveling it for her.

However, they still escorted her to the door.

Manluo turned slightly, a rare lingering hint of something else in her eyes: "You Ran."

Dou Shiliu nodded.

All I heard her say was softly, "If you dream of Mo Ling... remember to tell me..."

Waaaaah

Bai Tuan wiped away tears as she listened; even the Ink Spirit was about to dissipate…

How could I possibly still dream about it...?

After speaking softly, Manluo smiled faintly at Dou Shiliu.

Dou Shiliu looked at the woman's faint smile, raised his eyes, and trembled slightly: "Okay."

Anyway, the content was all made up by her.

She says whatever she wants to hear.

Simple as it is, leaving no regrets.

Bai Tuan: "..."

There's absolutely nothing wrong with this.

After Manluo left, Dou Shiliu entered the room and saw Mo Ling's body gradually dissipating.

"Please..."

Mo Ling's eyes were filled with sorrow, carrying a desolation that could seep into one's heart.

"Protect Juventus for life"

Dou Shiliu walked over, looked up at him, and said again, "You only have 3 seconds to think."

"good"

Mo Ling's eyes trembled slightly, her gaze revealing a tacit acceptance.

I do.

After Dou Shiliu made a contract for her, he then channeled spiritual power into her.

"This contract will give you human form, but your presence will be easily overlooked."

Mo Ling felt her heartbeat gradually return to her body, and excitement welled up in her eyes.

I wonder if Dou Shiliu's words resonated with her.

She spoke in a trembling voice, "Thank you... thank you."

Dou Shiliu freed her from her restraints, and now she can be considered a free person.

The moment Mo Ling untied the knot, she ran out the door, thanked him, and left.

Dou Shiliu calmly watched her half-jumping, half-flying movements.

Mei Yan smiled, thinking that this could be considered a win-win situation.

If you help Mo Ling, she'll agree to stay with Juventus. Why not?

When night fell, Dou Shiliu brought out a horse.

Er Si, sweeping with a broom, looked at her and asked, "Miss, are you going out?"

"Um"

"There's a saddle at the back, do you need it?"

Dou Shiliu glanced at him. "What do you think?"

The cold look made Er Si give an awkward laugh.

"I'll go get it right away."

It was brought over quickly. After mounting the saddle, Dou Shiliu used his strength to flip onto the horse's back.

"Let's go. Remember to call Mu Shaoyi for dinner later."

Dou Shiliu nodded twice, then cracked his whip and rode off.

His back view is incredibly handsome and dashing.

"Sigh"

Dou Shiliu tugged on the rope, and the horse calmed down, then rolled off.

"Good evening, Miss You."

The steward approached Dou Shiliu's horse step by step, glancing over there with his eyes: "You, come here and help the horse down."

The servant quickly came over and took the horse inside.

Dou Shiliu and the steward entered the Marshal's Mansion together.

Qiao Changqing sat in the main seat, his eyes narrowed as he smiled and said, "Long time no see."

The butler silently withdrew, instructing others not to go in and disturb them.

Dou Shiliu didn't respond to him, but sat down directly and looked at the large Manchu Han Imperial Feast on the table.

"Is there anyone else?"

"right"

Dou Shiliu stopped talking and started eating, showing more respect than she did.

So why wait?

Seeing that she was eating, Qiao Changqing didn't say anything, but just took a small sip of the wine in his glass.

The person arrived late, just as Dou Shiliu was adding the second bowl of white rice.

"I'm sorry, Commander Qiao, those merchants were just too good at drinking. It took me a long time to calm them down."

A round, pot-bellied man entered with a seemingly kind smile.

However, Dou Shiliu noticed a glint of surprise in his small eyes.

He looks like a shrewd businessman.

"Yo~"

When Dong San saw Dou Shiliu, he was aloof and quiet, and his appearance was rather ordinary…

But the fact that he appeared at this dinner party is quite unusual.

"And this young lady is?"

He had a beaming smile, and his Maitreya Buddha-like appearance was somewhat comical.

"Mr. Dong, please sit down first, and we'll proceed with the detailed introduction."

Qiao Changqing spoke, and Dong San laughed: "Hahaha, look at me, I was completely dumbfounded when I saw Commander Qiao..."

Qiao Changqing smiled and said, "Sit down."

"Okay, okay, okay."

Dong San sat down with a smile, and Qiao Changqing also dropped his nonchalant expression.

"Miss You, this is Dong San, a businessman."

Dong San nodded to Dou Shiliu, and Dou Shiliu responded with a "hmm".

"This is You Ran; she's in charge of security for this shipment."

Dong San's smile froze for a moment, but he managed to maintain it. He still asked a question with some uncertainty.

"What did Qiao Shuai say? Didn't you hear me?"

Qiao Changqing patiently repeated what he had just said.

Dong San was feeling conflicted; his slightly chubby face was furrowed, his brows almost squeezing together.

His eyes were already small, and now that he frowned, his eyebrows and eyes were all squeezed together and could not be seen at all.

Dou Shiliu found it amusing, but remained outwardly composed and did not utter a word.

"The goods I bought from you are smuggled goods; we can't alert our superiors, so I need Miss You to cover it up."

Qiao Changqing spoke frankly and openly, without hiding anything at all.

"Using me as a shield, and all you've got is one car?" Dou Shiliu narrowed his eyes and smiled. "I may be from the countryside, but I'm not brainless."

"Besides, do you think I have the ability to protect this cargo?"
