Chapter 258 I Just Like Men
Xiao Ning stopped.
She turned around and looked at Shang Xi.
The two looked at each other in silence for a moment, and Xiao Ning said, "Yes, I like you, but my life is not just about liking you, and the same goes for you."
After a pause, she asked again: "You like men, is it natural?"
Shang Xi's heartbeat quickened when he heard Xiao Ning say that she liked him, but when he heard the last sentence, his excited heart stopped beating.
Shang Xi looked at her, his expression becoming grim: "What do you mean by that?"
Xiao Ning hesitated and asked, "That is...is it possible for you to fall in love with a woman again?"
The color completely drained from Shang Xi's face.
He stared into Xiao Ning's eyes and asked, "You don't even like women, but you want me to like women?"
"I just like men, what's wrong with that? If you can do it, why can't I?"
"I will never like women in my life!"
After Shang Xi finished shouting, he turned around and strode away.
Xiao Ning raised his hand, paused in the air for a moment, and finally fell down weakly.
…
When Xiao Ning dragged Shang Xi away, everyone looked at each other in surprise.
Only Zhang Dashu snorted coldly, tore off a piece of cake and chewed it hard.
The soldiers couldn't help but talk.
"What's wrong with you, General? You look so gloomy."
"I don't know. The general is usually very good-tempered. I've never seen him like this before."
"Did my brother-in-law displease the general?"
"This morning, I saw the general talking to General Zhang when my brother-in-law walked by. A short while later, General Zhang and my brother-in-law left one after another."
Everyone turned their eyes to Zhang Dashu.
Someone couldn't help but ask Zhang Dashu, but Zhang Dashu didn't respond.
Although he looked down upon Xiao Ning's behavior, it was someone else's private matter after all. How would it look like if he spread it out like that?
Not long after, Shang Xi and Xiao Ning came back one after another.
Both of them looked unhappy.
The soldiers looked at each other, no one dared to speak.
Zhang Dashu's eyes swept across the two people's faces. Seeing their bright lips, he couldn't help but snort in his heart.
After a brief rest, everyone continued to head towards Jinzhou.
It took five days to get here, but on the way back it took eight days because the journey was a little slower due to the wounded.
When he returned to the camp, Li Yuan was still a little surprised.
"Is the General back soon?"
"Have you met Her Royal Highness the Princess? How did the conversation go? Has Brother Zhang decided to become our ally?"
As Li Yuan spoke, he glanced at the faces of Xiao Ning and Zhang Dashu. Seeing that both of them looked unhappy, he turned his head and winked at the guards beside him.
The guards received the order and retreated.
If we can't be allies, and if the two armies are destined to fight, I'll be sorry to Brother Zhang.
Xiao Ning looked at Zhang Dashu, "Brother Zhang, let's talk."
Zhang Dashu didn't refuse.
He wanted to hear how this guy was going to defend himself.
Originally, the night before yesterday, Zhang Dashu wanted to sneak away late at night, but he didn't expect that this guy named Xiao actually arranged people to guard the door of his tent!
Zhang Dashu was so angry that his teeth were itching.
I could only return to the tent in disappointment.
Before leaving, Xiao Ning glanced at Shang Xi. He had a cold face and dark eyes, like a deep well without light.
Xiao Ning retracted his gaze and whispered to Li Yuan, "Don't detain him, but keep an eye on him and don't let him get away."
Li Yuan glanced towards Shang Xi.
This glance almost made me lose my mind.
Where did the general get such a handsome young man?
He lowered his eyes and replied, "I understand."
Xiao Ning brought Zhang Dashu to his barracks, where his personal guards brought them tea.
Xiao Ning took it and poured a glass for Zhang Dashu.
"Brother Zhang, drink some water to moisten your mouth first."
Zhang Dashu didn't take it, so Xiao Ning put it on the table in front of him kindly.
Then he said to his personal guards, "Guard the door and don't let anyone get close."
The guards received the order and retreated.
Xiao Ning gestured for Zhang Dashu to sit down.
Zhang Dashu didn't sit down. He just looked at Xiao Ning and said, "What does General Xiao want to talk about?"
Xiao Ning said, "If I say that this so-called brother-in-law is actually the princess I once married, would you believe it?"
Zhang Dashu: “…”
What the hell?
Are you trying to fool me?
He can still tell the difference between men and women.
Seeing Zhang Dashu's face full of disbelief, Xiao Ning sighed and said, "Brother Zhang, I really didn't lie to you. I only found out about it the night I rescued him."
"He didn't tell me the details, but I can imagine that if he was the son of the late emperor, he probably wouldn't have lived to see adulthood, and could only pretend to be a woman to ensure his safety."
Zhang Dashu was puzzled and asked, "She's taller than me. How could anyone doubt such a princess?"
"He had taken drugs before, and his figure and appearance were no different from those of an ordinary woman."
Zhang Dashu looked at Xiao Ning suspiciously, not quite believing it: "Is there such a magical medicine in the world?"
Xiao Ning said: "The world is so big, and there are all kinds of wonders. If you can be blessed by heaven like that, what else is impossible?"
Zhang Dashu: “…”
He couldn't refute this for a moment.
"So you've been married to him for so long, and you didn't realize he was a man?"
I even think I like women.
Xiao Ning said, "Because I have my own secrets, we have never been close, so naturally we cannot discover each other's secrets."
Zhang Dashu paused after hearing this, "You mean, he still doesn't know you're a woman?"
Xiao Ning nodded, his eyes dimming.
Zhang Dashu: “…”
A general dressed as a man married a princess dressed as a woman.
You wouldn’t even dare to make up a story like this.
This is absolutely ridiculous...
Xiao Ning was depressed for a few seconds before he calmed down.
"Brother Zhang, if you still don't believe me, I can swear an oath."
He raised his hands to the sky and said, "If Xiao Ning had lied just now, I would have been struck by five thunderbolts and my body would have been torn to pieces!"
Zhang Dashu had already believed it 70%, but when he saw Xiao Ning dare to make such a solemn oath, the remaining 30% of his doubts disappeared immediately.
After all, he has been blessed by heaven many times, so there are some things he has to believe.
Since Xiao Ning has no problem with his character.
So, now a new problem arises.
"The princess is a man, so what you told me before about supporting the empress..."
Speaking of this, Xiao Ning propped up his head, feeling quite a headache.
"If it doesn't work, I'll do it..."
"If all else fails, there's still Sanniang."
It has to be said that Lin Sanniang still has some political ability. Today, under her governance, Jinzhou City is well organized and prosperous, much better than before.
Hearing Xiao Ning say this, Zhang Dashu breathed a sigh of relief.
He was also worried that Xiao Ning would help this fake princess take the throne!
If he really wanted to help a man get to the top, Zhang Dashu felt it would be better for him to do it himself.
Moreover, after meeting Shang Xi, Zhang Dashu felt that this person was too emotional. Even if she was a woman, she might not be able to be a qualified monarch.
Compared to Shang Xi, he still thinks Xiao Ning is more suitable.
Be emotionally stable and care about the world.
Brave, resourceful and powerful.
"Well, I misunderstood you a few days ago. Don't take it to heart. I'm a rough person and acted on impulse."
Zhang Dashu touched the back of his neck and apologized to Xiao Ning somewhat embarrassedly.
Xiao Ning smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, you are too kind. I didn't explain it clearly to you, so it's understandable that you misunderstood."
