"Why does she listen to others?" Li Xi looked at Peng San in confusion. "When I feel that my father is wrong, I will tell the girl, and the girl will protect me."
Why doesn't she date other girls?
And choose to listen to bad people?
Lu felt as if her clothes had been stripped off, leaving her naked and exposed to others' scrutiny.
Her eyes welled up with tears, and her heart felt heavy.
She had no rebuttal. When she left Shangjia Village, she never imagined things would turn out so badly.
She had no idea how ugly human nature could be.
Children are terrifying creatures; sometimes they are frighteningly insightful.
Peng San didn't know how to refute Li Xi. He couldn't say directly that Su Qian wouldn't protect the Lu family, as that would affect the deal he had just made with Shang Tian.
But he wouldn't want to see the Lu family being bullied either.
“No one protected her before, but now she is my wife.”
He protected her.
Madam Lu raised her head gratefully and looked at Peng San. Regardless of Peng San's intentions towards her, at this moment, Madam Lu was grateful.
Su Qian glanced at Li Xi indifferently and said, "When eating crabs, don't talk too much."
She paused for a moment, then added, "We'll be neighbors from now on, so don't cause any trouble."
The Lu family makes exquisite pastries; maybe I can even mooch a meal from them in the future!
After comforting Madam Lu, Peng San held Lu Heng in his arms and said to Shang Tian, "Brother Shang, please come in. We should talk about what's next."
"Xiao Lin wants to attack us?" Shang Tian raised an eyebrow, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "I may not have told Brother Peng yet that Xiao Lin sent people to poison my parents."
The hatred for killing one's parents is irreconcilable.
Peng San straightened his expression and asked, "What are your plans, Brother Shang?"
Now, he has no way out.
Retreating would mean becoming an enemy of Shang Tian, and Song Du's attitude is also unknown.
Rather than following Xiao Lin, that patricide bastard, he'd rather follow Shang Tian, who will avenge his parents.
"I still need to discuss this with Ashen."
Peng San could understand discussing building a house with Su Qian, but to discuss something like this with her...
Peng San's gaze towards Su Qian changed. Could it be that Su Qian was the true head of Jizhou?
He glanced subconsciously at Su Qian, who was engrossed in eating crabs, and thought she didn't look like her at all.
Seeing that he was staring at Su Qian, Shang Tian coughed twice and said, "Jizhou is adjacent to Songdu, but it will take several days for the army to fight, so there is no rush."
Peng San really wanted to pry open Shang Tian's head to see what he meant by "not in a hurry".
Are we going to wait until the enemy is at the gates before we get worried?
Su Qian looked up from the pile of crabs at Shang Tian and said, "It seems our wall isn't finished yet?"
Shang Tian was slightly taken aback. "Where else does A Qian think is needed?"
If they were to surround the entire Jizhou, they wouldn't have that many people to spare.
"Jizhou and Linhai City".
Alright, this isn't just happening in Jizhou.
Shang Tian said helplessly, "A Qian, how many people do we have here? By the time the wall is finished, we'll be attacking Songdu again, and the wall will be useless then."
It's all his land, why should he get up there?
Su Qian thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Then surround Jizhou, Linhai City, and Songdu."
"What about other places..."
If it were just these three cities, he could say he had already succeeded halfway.
Su Qian looked up at him and asked, "There's no rice at home."
Things have to proceed step by step. They have no food reserves right now, and even if we take it, we won't be able to feed them.
