The truth about the shipwreck ten years ago was just an appetizer. Next, City Lord Liu Zhiqiang was discussing with the people of Koucheng the matter of selling out Jinqiao City.
This matter was indeed more important, and the crowd immediately started discussing it. Some even doubted the authenticity of the matter until Bai Chi produced the written agreement and terms they had drawn up.
However, these are not yet confirmed, but the pattern on this document has been confirmed to be for the exclusive use of the city lord.
Then there were the people he found who were connected to Koucheng, including various business owners, government officials, peddlers, and even members of certain families present at the scene, and so on.
Bai Chi methodically presented various pieces of evidence, dazzling the audience with a wealth of information that made them forget their shock and even become somewhat numb.
Some people expressed doubts, but Bai Chi could clearly point out some people's little actions, and with the discernment of those who knew them, it was easy to tell the truth from the falsehood.
For a moment, everyone looked at Bai Chi with complicated expressions, and deep apprehension.
Is this really because of poisoning that it was discovered so quickly?
Rather than believing that so much hidden information could be found so easily, they preferred to believe that Bai Chi had actually been investigating this matter for a long time.
Only now are they finally willing to tell them the truth.
"Ah Chi, you actually found out so much information."
The only one with clear eyes was probably Fu Yunxiao.
There was a lot of news that Bai Chi hadn't had time to tell him, after all, time was of the essence, and he was only just hearing about it from Bai Chi now.
"Your men are quite capable. I've never heard of these things or these people before. You really can't judge a book by its cover. There are so many traitors in Jinqiao City!"
Fu Yunxiao looked at Bai Chi with admiration, while the others looked at Fu Yunxiao with strange expressions.
This time they heard it clearly.
Achi?
It seems that when Master Bai called Boss Fu "Yunxiao" earlier, he was also calling him "Yunxiao".
Could it be that they really are hanging out together, just like the rumors say?
Shocked, but dared not show it.
Master Qiao of the West City Gambling House was the first to calm down: "Master Bai, you've found out so much information, so what do you want us to do?"
He used to call me "Brother Bai," but now he calls me "Master Bai."
Incandescence is not unexpected.
"I demand a thorough investigation!"
Bai Chi said firmly.
"The list I have here is only a small part. All the traitors connected to the city have been found. Once I confirm their attack time, I will eliminate all the traitors!"
He is not a saint; he deserves to die and must die!
"Don't worry, everyone. I will tell you when the siege will begin. At that time, you can choose whether you want to leave or stay and defend the city together. I will not force you."
As long as Liu Zhiqiang stays, and as long as there are no traitors, Jinqiao City will not fall.
The crowd murmured amongst themselves, but Master Qiao's face remained resolute: "My ancestors have lived in Jinqiao City for generations, and our family business is right here. How can I possibly run away!"
In an instant, everyone expressed their determination to live and die with Jinqiao City and never flee!
Whether it was genuine or just the atmosphere, at least at this moment, everyone's thoughts were aligned with the outside world.
Afterwards, the group discussed the matter carefully. This time, when they returned, they not only had to find out who the traitors were, but they also had to be discreet, settle their wives and children, and make preparations for war.
Many hands make light work. After discussing it, they discovered that there were several other business owners connected to the nearby military region. That was great, and arrangements were made regarding the rescue and the target in Koucheng.
After the tasks were assigned to everyone, Bai Chi felt much more relaxed. The city gates were closed, so they couldn't go back and had to spend the night at the farm.
Fu Yunxiao followed Bai Chi closely into the same room. The others looked at each other, and then unanimously moved out of that room to squeeze into another place.
Inside the room, Bai Chi watched with amusement as Fu Yunxiao peeked through the crack in the door, making sure everyone outside had gone elsewhere before turning back.
"What's so interesting? Why don't you just bolt the door?"
Bai Chi was already in bed. He had been quite busy these past few days. He wasn't tired, but there were too many people investigating the information, and he had to pay attention to each and every one of them, which was quite troublesome.
However, seeing Fu Yunxiao's stealthy, thieving behavior still made me want to laugh.
Thinking this, she lay on her side with her head stretched out, watching Fu Yunxiao grope his way to the bedside.
The moon is already high in the sky, and I'm too lazy to light candles.
"What if they're not careful and follow us?"
As he said this, Fu Yunxiao had already reached the bedside. His eyes had adjusted to the darkness, and the moonlight filtering through the window allowed him to clearly see Bai Chi's eyes.
It is moist and bright, slightly curved, with a smile on its face.
The emotions that had been deliberately suppressed these past few days surged forth in an instant.
His breathing became rapid, but he dared not make any obvious movements.
He knelt on the bed with one leg, bent slightly, and approached Bai Chi.
He was testing the waters.
Bai Chi didn't dodge, but instead slightly raised his head, seemingly puzzled, which brought the two of them even closer together, face to face.
With a thud
It was the sound of Fu Yunxiao swallowing. It was very soft, but in the excessively quiet and intimate environment, it could be heard clearly.
And the thumping, thumping, thumping of his heartbeat all spoke volumes about Fu Yunxiao's tension at that moment.
“Ah, Achi.”
Fu Yunxiao spoke with difficulty. Getting injured in training fights was common for Fu Yunxiao, and at this moment, he was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
"I... I want to say that actually I..."
His mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time. He stared expectantly at Bai Chi's gaze, as if hoping to express his feelings with his eyes.
I've long forgotten about the sleeping potion; all I remember is that these eyes have been in my dreams every night for the past few days.
With a single stroke and a hook, his soul soared away.
Then a soft laugh was heard.
It's Achi.
Before Fu Yunxiao could even wonder what Achi was laughing about, he felt a weight on his neck as Bai Chi's arm wrapped around him.
"Fu Yunxiao, are you trying to say that you like me?"
Fu Yunxiao's eyes widened suddenly. Just as he was about to nod, the arm around his neck pressed down hard, and their lips and teeth touched instantly.
All thoughts in Fu Yunxiao's mind were instantly cleared. He was stunned for a fraction of a second before instinctively starting his assault, pulling Bai Chi tightly into his arms.
All thoughts of preparing to confess, what if he was rejected, or what if Achi got angry and ignored him were thrown to the back of his mind.
Now all I can think about is Achi kissing him, Achi kissing him first!
They continued until they were both panting heavily, and their bodies pressed together showed obvious signs of arousal. Fu Yunxiao's hand also reached into Bai Chi's clothes.
Then, in the next second, he was suddenly pushed back at least an arm's length.
"Achi?"
Having never eaten pork but having seen pigs run, Fu Yunxiao felt extremely uncomfortable but still wanted to continue.
Bai Chi frowned: "You don't mean to stay here, do you?"
Fu Yunxiao immediately calmed down. Yes, they were in someone else's farm, and there were quite a few other people living in the surrounding rooms.
How is this any different from the wild!
