Gu Siyan didn't expect that after looking at him, he could still say such cold words. He sneered, "These people were originally here to protect you, but if you want to run to the capital or the Xianbei, these people will bring you to see me."
Qi Qi: "Who said I was going to the capital and the Xianbei? You know about my previous private... nursing home. My territory is in Jiangnan, and I still have a lot of things to take with me. This is how I'm going to Jiangnan."
Gu Siyan drank another glass of water and said slowly, "Everywhere is in chaos now. Luoyang is safe. If you want anything, come to me. Afterwards, I will take you to Jiangnan."
Qi Qi glanced at the time in his mind. If he missed this ship, the next one wouldn't be for another half a month: "...Actually, there's another reason, it's because I'm too embarrassed to see you right now."
Gu Siyan: "What?"
Qi Qi looked up at him and took a few steps closer: "Because of what happened last time."
Gu Siyan's hand trembled, and a little water spilled onto his fingertips. Before he could wipe it away, Qi Qi had already walked up to him, his eyes fixed on him.
She kept watching, and then, under that gaze, she bent down and drank the water from Gu Siyan's hand. After she finished, she poured him a glass as well.
The two looked at each other.
When Gu Siyan belatedly realized what was happening, he still had a little strength left in his body, but he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He looked at Qi Qi cautiously approaching him in disbelief and poking himself.
Seeing that the man was staring blankly and not moving, Qi Qi smiled smugly: "Ha, men."
After saying this, he reached into his waistband, pulled out a small green bottle, poured a pill into his hand, and fed it to Gu Siyan. His expression was no longer the smug one from a moment ago; instead, he looked pitiful and waved his hands twice.
"It's perfectly normal to carry some muscle-relaxing powder when you're out and about for protection, Brother Si Yan. Don't worry, this medicine is only supposed to make someone drowsy for three days and three nights, but after taking the antidote, they'll be fine in a day."
Gu Siyan: "..."
"Don't blame me. You know, Huangfu Jue and I grew up together. He's my first true brother. How could I abandon him? Please, please forgive me this time. When I come back, you can't kill me or do whatever you want to me. You can hit me or scold me. I'll be your accountant for life. I promise I'll work hard and never betray you again."
He muttered to himself for a while, then said, "It's all my fault, you're a good person, you know right from wrong, you definitely wouldn't go against my father, right?"
Gu Siyan had calmed down a bit by now, but he was still both anxious and annoyed. He snorted coldly.
Qi Qi quickly tried to calm him down: "Don't be angry, don't be angry. If you get sick from getting angry, no one can take your place. You heard everything I said, you understand?"
Gu Siyan turned his head away.
You poison someone and then expect someone to take care of your father? What kind of talk is that?
Qi Qi felt there was a chance: "Besides, why are you angry? If you hadn't refused me, I wouldn't have been able to get my way, right? I didn't even scold you."
Gu Siyan blushed: "…………"
Throughout history, countless figures have fallen victim to the allure of beautiful women; who could have predicted this one!
Qi Qi thought for a moment, and just to be on the safe side, turned his face back towards her.
"Wait for me to come back, and everything will be fine..."
Gu Siyan's pupils contracted, and he stared at him in shock.
...If Qi Qi had a few more relationships or lived a longer life, he would probably understand what was right and wrong about those words. But he didn't know, and no one taught him, so he naturally spoke according to his true feelings.
Gu Siyan: "..."
Qi Qi: "Time is running out, I have to go now. Don't come after me, I won't go with you. What if you scare me so much that I run into bad guys?"
Gu Siyan: "..."
Qi Qi immediately took action, disguising himself and Gu Siyan, and then walked away amidst Gu Siyan's utterly dejected gaze.
Just as Gu Siyan was remaining silent, he saw him return, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes. Qi Qi then took his waist token without any hesitation: "Borrow it for a moment! I'll return it to you once I release my people!"
Gu Siyan closed his eyes: "..."
Qi Qi tugged at his collar again, and when he went out the door, the guards were all stunned!
Shocked, her face flushed red. She looked at the general's room, then at the handsome young man who had visited the manor just a few days ago.
Qi Qi raised his waist token, glanced shyly at the inner room, and whispered, "Please release my men, brother. I have to go now."
Soldier: "Then, then, General, why, why do you say that..."
Qi Qi glared at him: "What else can I say? I remember to do things my way, so of course you'll listen to me. That wretched guy, I'll teach him a lesson when I get back."
The soldier, his mouth agape in terror, brought Qi Da and the others back. They mounted their horses and rode away. Qi Qi then tossed the waist token to the soldier: "Alright, return it to your general tomorrow morning."
The soldier still sensed something was wrong, so he peeked into the room through the slightly ajar door and quickly closed it again.
Gu Siyan heard the door close: "..."
His subordinates were too confident in him.
...
...
Qi Qi spurred his horse and finally caught up with the ship. Amidst the heartbroken gazes of Qi Da and the others, he resumed walking normally, leaving onlookers stunned.
"What are you looking at! This is called a honey trap, don't you know? Learn from it."
Qi Da and the others looked at each other, saying, "...No, no..."
This merchant ship was not as comfortable as Huangfu Yi's. It was dirty, messy, and boring. The food on board was also monotonous. There were also a series of minor troubles along the way, such as bandits coming to rob them. If someone wanted money, they would give it to them. If someone wanted their life, they would follow Qi Da and the others to fight to the death.
