After the training session, some soldiers requested to spar with Xiao Changqi.
Xiao Changqi glanced indifferently at the little bird perched on his shoulder, offering no response to the challenge.
The mighty King Gan could not bring a bird into battle, but Xiao Changqi was not at ease entrusting the bird to others.
This little bird is so clumsy.
What if it gets stolen?
Xiao Changqi didn't even think about it properly. How could anyone dare to steal the birds he kept?
"Your Highness is indeed skilled in training troops; I am deeply impressed." The accompanying minister had intended to flatter Xiao Changqi, but little did he know that these soldiers were not actually Xiao Changqi's subordinates, so his words backfired.
Xiao Changqi walked towards the tent with the bird in his arms, expressionless. The minister who was monitoring him wanted to follow him in, but was stopped by Luo Feng the next second: "Lord Lin, the prince and I have important military matters to discuss, and it is not convenient for a third person to know. So please stop here, Lord Lin. Otherwise, if military secrets are leaked, neither of us can bear the responsibility."
Lord Lin was timid and afraid of trouble. After hearing Luo Feng's words, he hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Since it is a military matter, then I will not go in and disturb Your Highness and General Luo's discussion. However, I have some things I would like to say to Your Highness. Why don't we wait here?"
"Master Lin, please excuse me."
After saying this, Luo Feng lifted the curtain and went inside.
"Chirp chirp".
On New Year's Day, it squatted on the only table in the tent, flapping its wings and calling out to Xiao Changqi.
Then, Luo Feng and Chang Jiu saw their prince take out an exquisite jade bottle from his waist, pour half a cup of water into it, and then place the cup in front of the little bird.
New Year's Day: "Chirp chirp."
Thanks.
Luo Feng: "..."
Chang Jiu: "..."
Their noble and aloof prince actually carried water with him for birds to drink and even personally fed it to the birds.
Xiao Changqi was unaware of the shock his actions had caused his two subordinates. He remained seated behind the table, his cold gaze sweeping over them, signaling them to get to the point.
Chang Jiu was the first to step forward and say, "Your Highness, the Fifth Prince has already led his men to capture those Li Dan people. What's next...?"
"Have you found the person?" Xiao Changqi asked with a cold expression.
"Found him! Your Highness was indeed a prophet. There were indeed spies from the other side in Yunyan Pavilion. I heard that after the Fifth Prince and his men captured the Li Dan people, he quickly lost his composure and prepared to leave under cover of night. Fortunately, I had people watching him the whole time, which prevented him from escaping."
Luo Feng followed up, "Your Highness has already locked the man in the dungeon. Would you like to interrogate him?"
“No need.” Xiao Changqi’s calm voice carried a hint of murderous intent and cruelty. “If he says nothing, then kill him.”
"Understood."
I inexplicably overheard a New Year's Day conspiracy: "..."
Will she be silenced?
Yuan Dan cautiously glanced at the man with her small, beady eyes. Seeing that he hadn't noticed her, she continued drinking the spring water with peace of mind.
Xiao Changqi naturally noticed the way the little bird was peeking at him; he had deliberately let the little bird hear all this today.
Seeing that the little bird showed no fear upon hearing the word "kill," and only glanced at him furtively, Xiao Changqi felt somewhat satisfied.
His pet birds should be treated this way.
He has too much blood on his hands, and it's impossible for him to stop taking lives in the future. One day, this silly little bird will see it.
If the bird was terrified simply by hearing that he was going to kill someone, then Xiao Changqi would not keep it.
Although he really liked this silly little bird.
But he couldn't tolerate a little bird that even its owner feared; he would only make the bird die a less painful death.
