Moreover, Luo Ying's opinion of Jiang Xuqing had changed. At least between the beds, he was a partner worthy of trust.
"I love you."
The two hearts complement each other, and finally burst into brilliant sparks in the air like fireworks.
Luo Ying felt his burning heart leaping into his throat, and a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes. "Is it true?"
"Really." At least what was said on the bed was true.
Men always say that they love one woman at a time, and at least they should do the right thing at the right time.
The sincerity at that moment is absolutely real, and nothing else can be guaranteed.
A storm disturbed the whole night.
After a quick meal, the battlefield turned from the small and exquisite couch to the large and stiff bed in the dormitory.
It took several pots of boiling water in the kitchen to put out the raging anger.
Afterwards, Luo Ying put her arm around his waist and asked lazily, "What about the concubine in the mansion?"
"No." Xu Jing kissed his cheek and said, "I'm not touching her anyway, why are you jealous?"
"Why would I be jealous? I just find her annoying." After all, he was a real man, not one of those swanky girls in a Southern Opera troupe. He didn't have the graceful figure or delicate looks. If things continued like this, Jiang Xuqing would surely be disgusted. Once the novelty wore off, everything became dull.
Where can he find a bed partner who meets his expectations in every way?
"You told me not to trust anyone. Yanhong is Li He's woman, aren't you afraid that she will deceive you and ruin your good fortune?"
"Compared to her, I think you're more likely to mess up my plans." Xu Jing pinched his chin and asked in a low voice, "Has the letter from the capital been delivered?"
Luo Ying remained silent. For a moment he felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, with a chill running down his spine.
"Really?" Xu Jing put his hand towards his throat and sneered. "You're quite brave, even disobeying my orders. Very good."
It was a plan that failed miserably. As soon as the emperor received the letter, he would be furious and would want to purge everyone in Prince Rong's mansion. He could then take advantage of the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune, while also clearing out all the threats in the plane.
What was the result? Everything was originally under my control, but overnight my stupid teammates forced me to lower my intelligence and ruined a good game of chess.
Xu Jing was so angry that he was about to lose his temper. He touched his face, but couldn't bring himself to hit him. He asked through gritted teeth, "Why do you do this? Do you still love Tian Wan'er?"
"No." Luo Ying hurriedly explained. "I don't like her. I just think the evidence is insufficient. What you gave me is not enough to convince the emperor."
Luo Ying tried to touch his arm, but he forcefully pushed her away. They had been so affectionate just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, they had become a completely different person, so cold and heartless, so unreasonable.
"Listen to me, I'm not sincere. I just want to find evidence and protect you as much as possible."
Xu Jing sighed and wrapped him in the quilt. "This is really pissing me off."
He got out of bed, put on his clothes and went out.
"Stop, where are you going?"
Without even turning around, Xu Jing said, "Let's go see what Prince Rong is doing first, so we can stabilize the situation. We can take advantage of this opportunity to act."
"Jiang Xuqing, could you please stop doing this?"
Xu Jing interrupted him and said, "Luo Ying, I find that you are sometimes very self-righteous. Do you know that letting them go is abusing yourself? Have you ever thought about letting the enemy go during the war? Have you ever thought that even if you let them go, they will never let you go?"
Rather than playing the role of a saint and leaving others alone, hesitating to act out of concern, it's better to just tear it apart and fight it out. If you lose, you can start over, and eighteen years later, you'll be a hero again. If you win, you'll get promoted, get rich, and enjoy the glory and wealth.
The principle of seeking wealth and honor through risk is not suitable for everyone, such as the steady and cautious Luo Ying.
He can ignore everything on the battlefield and just fight bravely.
But in official circles, his IQ is negative. He still tries to gather evidence and act like an idealist. In reality, all he does is give those with ulterior motives an opportunity to exploit his weaknesses. This will lead to a tragic outcome where the gains are not worth the losses.
"Wait, I'll go with you." Luo Ying hurriedly stood up, but it hurt his wound. He took a breath, but still stopped him despite the pain. "I was wrong."
"No, you're not wrong. I was wrong."
Luo Ying's heart sank suddenly. She grabbed his hand and pleaded, "I didn't think too much. I didn't ask him to come back. I just wanted to collect evidence in the capital and then report him. I didn't mean to stop you. I hope you can understand me."
"Then who will tolerate me?" Xu Jing sneered and pressed him down on the bed. "You didn't take to heart what I said to Prince Rong during the day. I said, I have made two preparations."
"What do you mean? Explain it clearly."
"I know you're unreliable, so I gave you one day. The next day, I sent my servants to the capital to look for my family and deliver a letter to the Censorate. Guess what? You're truly unreliable."
Ignoring the disappointment in his eyes, Luo Ying gritted her teeth and said, "Those people from the Censorate will cause chaos in the world. When that happens..."
"It won't be any easier than killing enemies on the battlefield. Master, please wake up."
Xu Jing bit his earlobe and said angrily, "This means that not only will I have to risk the Emperor's suspicion by facing the enemy, but I will also be hunted down and killed by Prince Rong's men. I might even be used by those with ulterior motives in the court to harm me and the lives of the entire Jiang family. General Luo, are you satisfied with this outcome?"
Luo Ying was speechless.
He couldn't find any words to refute. Just as Jiang Xuqing said, he thought he was doing Jiang Xuqing a good deed by intercepting the 800-mile express letter, but it turned out to be more of a hindrance than a help.
He could easily get away, but Jiang Xuqing would be imprisoned and die without a burial place.
He really did a huge mistake.
"Jiang Xuqing, I..."
"Alright, stop talking. From now on, General Luo, please draw a clear line between you and me and stay out of this mess."
Luo Ying was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. "What do you mean? I'm not sincere."
"Regardless of whether you're sincere or intentional, General Luo, you and I are not of the same ilk." Xu Jing said with a wry smile, "I, Jiang Xuqing, worked hard for most of my life to reach the position of a fifth-rank official. And you, with your family's distinguished military achievements, have already become a fifth-rank general at the age of twenty. You certainly have a bright future ahead of you. There's no need to dwell on useless people like us."
"Then what do you say to me before mean?" Love or not is all empty?
Xu Jing took a breath, wondering how he could have forgotten about this.
This guy is no different from a love-brained person. Once he gets involved in feelings, no one can pull him back.
In order to completely distance himself from the matter, Xu Jing had no choice but to make a cruel decision. "General Luo, do you believe what was said on the bed? Go back and don't come here again."
Luo Ying had never been one to shy away; if someone else had said something like that, he would have been furious and lashed out. But today, he was in the wrong and had ruined the situation. He figured it would be best not to provoke Jiang Xuqing while he was angry. He should wait a few days before apologizing to him, and things would return to normal between them.
