He is a man without a home or roots.

Apart from Xiao Jiu and Xiao Yao'er, he had never felt genuine kindness and warmth from anyone else.

But tonight I talked with this drunken kid for most of the night and listened to what he said;

He suddenly seemed to see a warm and loving family beckoning to him in this world;

We just need to wait for him to let down his guard and truly integrate.

Although Ji Fengming seems carefree and irresponsible, he is actually more meticulous than the naive Xiao Yao'er. He is worthy of being Xiao Yao'er's brother and is just as warm as she is.

He pulled Ji Fengming down to make him more comfortable and threw a thin blanket over him.

Black Owl's gaze softened, and he said in a low voice, "Actually, it makes no difference whether we go up the mountain or not."

After speaking, he turned around and climbed out the window and over the wall, leaving through the backyard.

The emperor waited anxiously in the palace for Gao Lang and his group's reply. However, the next day, when the sun was high in the sky, the group returned, reeking of alcohol and covered in lipstick stains. The emperor was so angry that he overturned the desk in his study.

"A bunch of useless bastards! How dare you keep the Emperor waiting for you! All the hard work and training I put in you day and night has been forgotten!" Gao Chengwei saw that the Emperor was furious and dared not try to persuade him or plead for mercy.

Fearing that the emperor would be furious and have them all beheaded, he could only kick them one by one first.

Hopefully, these words and this kick will make the Emperor understand that it is not easy to cultivate a few capable confidants, and that he will forgive them this time.

Gao Lang woke up in the arms of two girls in the morning and discovered that his lifelong innocence had been ruined in a brothel.

On the way back, I was cursing a million dogs in my head.

Kicked by his cousin Gao Chengwei, he felt even more ashamed and immediately drew his knife, prostrated himself on the ground, and begged for death: "It is my incompetence that led me to fall into the trap of that treacherous Ji Fengming. I was drunk by the girls of Cuihonglou and delayed my duties. I beg Your Majesty to grant me death!"

"What? You actually went to a brothel and have been hanging around there ever since?" Gao Chengwei was also stunned.

The Gao family has been loyal royalists for generations.

He and his subordinates received strict and rigorous education from a young age, and never indulged in vices such as eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring.

Now, upon suddenly hearing that Gao Lang and his accomplices had gone to a brothel, drunk wine, and spent the night there, he felt a terrible sense of unease, as if his own cabbage had been eaten by a pig. If it weren't for the bond of blood ties, he would have loved to chop down these rotten cabbages.

Emperor Shang Xiche was so angry that he couldn't speak, and he pointed at the group of people while trembling.

These audacious bastards!

They actually dared to leave the emperor here waiting while they went to a brothel to find girls!

No, no, no, that's not the point.

The important thing is, don't the hell ever mention women to him again!

Shang Xiche wanted to say that he would exterminate the nine generations of these bastards.

But seeing the resemblance between Gao Lang and Gao Chengwei, and remembering that the Gao family was the only loyal family he trusted and who held military power, he couldn't issue the decree. His face turned purple with frustration, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Useless things, what a disgrace!" Gao Chengwei saw that the emperor's face was getting worse and worse, so he kicked Gao Lang and the others one by one, while giving them winks as he kicked them.

You damn brats, you're still holding back your anger and waiting to die!

Gao Lang and the others understood what was happening, and with the help of Gao Chengwei's kicks, they rolled around and screamed in pain.

Shang Xiche could hear that Gao Chengwei had indeed put force into his kicks, making the men scream and howl in pain.

Then I thought of all the military funds that were allocated each year. It would really not be worth killing someone over something so trivial.
