Chu Yi smiled casually, "Your Majesty is here, I'm sure General Shi won't embarrass me, right?"
"Really?" Hearing the obviously indifferent tone, Shi Qingxue got angry.
Her face was full of righteousness. "This general is enforcing the law. I believe that with your majesty's wisdom, you will not find anything inappropriate."
As Chu Yi's face gradually darkened, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Of course, if Lord Tianguan wants me to be flexible, that's not impossible..."
Hearing this, Chu Yi was wondering what Shi Qingxue was planning.
Before she could speak, she continued:
"If I don't pursue other matters today, it can at least be considered a favor to you, Lord Chu, right?"
Chu Yi thought for a moment and nodded in approval.
"If there is an opportunity, this general still looks forward to hunting with Lord Chu." Shi Qingxue said again.
"Hunting?" Chu Yi couldn't help but wonder, "Why? General Shi, do you feel a sense of accomplishment in defeating me in this kind of thing?"
Shi Qingxue nodded, "Exactly!"
Chu Yi: “…”
"Chu Yi, what are you two talking about?"
Finally, after several whispered conversations, Xiao Ling could no longer stand and walked over with Xiao Tuan in his arms.
"nothing."
Chu Yi shook his head and took her hand. "I've told General Shi about the situation. It's getting late. Let General Shi handle this. Shall we go back first?"
Xiao Ling didn't want to stay in this place anymore. She wanted to explain some things to Shi Qingxue, but she looked at the two guards beside her and didn't say anything in the end.
"Let's go."
The two went downstairs together. With Shi Qingxue's order, Xu Zizhuo and others were also released. The only ones waiting for interrogation were a group of scholars who were beaten beyond recognition.
On the way back, the street was already deserted.
"Chu thief, I'm afraid I have to return to the palace now."
"Going back to the palace? There's no rush. Your Majesty, you can stay at my residence tonight." Hearing the empress say she was going back, Chu Yi directly wanted to invite her to his residence.
Xiao Ling felt helpless after hearing this. With her understanding of the Chu bandits, she knew exactly what she would experience that night.
"Why don't you investigate what happened tonight? Are you still in the mood to mess with me?"
Chu Yi was slightly stunned, turned around and looked at the little empress's evasive expression and suddenly smiled:
"Your Majesty, this kind of thing does not require me to personally investigate."
"Then it would be inappropriate for me not to return to the palace at night," Xiao Ling followed.
Chu Yi shook his head. "Your Majesty has lived in the Chu Mansion for quite some time before. I think it's quite suitable. Besides, my residence is closer, so we don't have to travel too far."
Xiao Ling: “…”
In the end, all the excuses were empty talk, and she was too lazy to argue anymore.
The two walked towards the Chu Mansion against the cold wind.
Perhaps because of the cold wind, the little girl in Chu Yi's arms buried her head tightly into his robe.
…
At the same time, in Chu Yan’s mansion.
"General Chu, something bad has happened outside!"
Cheng Xianjun hurried over and started shouting anxiously when he saw Chu Yan.
Chu Yan was in a very bad mood, especially after leaving Tianxia Trading Company, he felt even more upset.
His face was full of impatience at Cheng Xianjun's noise.
"Why are you so flustered? Did your father or mother die? What's going on?"
"This..." Upon hearing this, Cheng Xianjun's face tightened, and he quickly explained in a low voice:
"General Chu, something happened to Minister Chu. It must have been when you just left Tianxia Trading Company that a group of scholars started causing trouble. I don't know who instigated them, but they wanted to take out their anger on the Minister..."
When Chu Yan heard that Minister Chu was in trouble, his eyelids twitched for no reason.
After listening to Cheng Xianjun's report, a strong sense of uneasiness suddenly emerged in my heart.
Then he stood up hurriedly and stared at his men in front of him.
"You said the scholar was causing trouble on Da'an Street? Who instigated him?"
Cheng Xianjun paused again after hearing this. "This... General Chu, I don't know, but these scholars certainly wouldn't surround the Minister for no reason. I suspect..."
Having said that, he also shut up.
In fact, based on the information he currently has, he reasonably suspects that these scholars were bewitched by some general.
As for the reason...
Even if he could be bolder, he couldn't help but doubt...
But this kind of thought should not be entertained casually, it was just a fleeting thought.
Chu Yan stared at him intently, and the green stem on his arm moved again and again.
He seemed to already know what Cheng Xianjun was going to say.
After thinking rapidly for a long time, I realized a very important issue.
"How is my eldest brother now? Nothing happened to him, right?"
"Don't worry, General Chu. Those scholars can't hurt you at all."
Cheng Xianjun hurriedly spoke to reassure Chu Yan, then explained, "When I came here, I heard that General Shi had already arrived at the scene of the trouble. Now the matter is probably resolved."
"General Shi?" Chu Yan was stunned when he heard this title.
"Why would she go all the way to Tianxia Trading Company to deal with such a matter? Where are the people from Bingmasi?"
Hearing this question, Cheng Xianjun felt a little disappointed.
Sure enough, General Chu still asked about this matter.
The lack of movement from the Bingmasi was exactly what he was worried about.
Cheng Xianjun didn't dare to hide this matter, so he could only bite the bullet and explain tremblingly:
"Reporting to General Chu, the Military Command...has...hasn't taken any action..."
"What--?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yan became furious.
He flew up and kicked a chair next to him against the wall. The sudden collision sound was deafening.
"Feng Wenxuan, you're just a small sixth-rank official, but you're so good at taking advantage of me that you're putting eye drops behind my back, right?"
Feng Wenxuan is the commander of the Zhongcheng Bingmasi among the Five Cities Bingmasi. The Zhongcheng Bingmasi manages almost all local security matters in Taining City.
Chu Yan almost immediately guessed that this decision to keep the troops inactive was instructed by Feng Wenxuan.
This is clearly because the Chu family has stopped rebelling, and these gentlemen finally can't hold back anymore!
"Feng Wenxuan, ah Feng Wenxuan, just wait. After I understand everything clearly, I will come and raid your Feng family!"
Chu Yanyin swore an oath fiercely before looking at Cheng Xianjun who was kneeling on the ground and trembling.
"Come on, follow me to Big Brother's house!"
"Yes... yes, General Chu, please be patient..."
Chu Yan ignored him and walked out the door first.
Cheng Xianjun shrank his body and took a look at the broken chairs over there, and his heart felt weak.
He hurriedly followed him out.
