"May I ask, my lord, what merit should I be credited for in this battle?"
Shang Yunmiao's expression remained unchanged as she smiled and replied, "Of course, it is the greatest credit."
"Then I would like to ask my lord to bestow upon me something."
For some unknown reason, Shang Yunmiao's face flushed red, and she immediately scolded in a low voice, "You lecherous rogue..."
Seeing that his young lord was so tactless, Chen Bing gave a cold smile and said, "Peace is something the general establishes, and the general is not allowed to see peace. If the lord is unwilling to give it, then I will take it myself!"
After saying that, he reached out and took Shang Yunmiao's head.
"You thief! Do not harm my master!"
General Hao Meng, who had been silently drinking nearby, saw that Chen Bing was about to break off relations, so he abandoned any plan to proceed slowly and immediately launched a counterattack.
Now, the truth about loyalty and treachery is clear!
But it doesn't matter anymore. Chen Bing smiled coldly and smashed a cup as a signal to summon a group of assassins.
Not to be outdone, Shang Yunmiao immediately sent a group of guards to protect the emperor.
However, to Chen Bing's men, who were seasoned veterans of many battles, these pampered noble guards were nothing more than a rabble.
In the blink of an eye, they all fell down, and Shang Yunmiao and Hao Meng also fell together, becoming helpless and at the mercy of others.
"Wow, Ice God is so despicable."
"Exactly, I never imagined you had such a dirty heart."
"They just ambushed me when my health was low."
Coming to his senses from the dramatic scene of drinking and violence, Chen Bing looked at the three deceased "traitors" who were verbally attacking him.
With her face flushed, Chen Bing said forcefully, "Wh-what? This is called 'all's fair in war,' you know? The loser eats the dust. Don't say anything more."
No sooner had he finished speaking than he unleashed a powerful attack, the Southern Barbarian Invasion.
"I didn't kill anyone, my hands are full of flashbangs."
"Me too, I was just replaced by Chen Bing's skill."
Shang Yunmiao and Hao Meng exchanged a glance, knowing that the outcome was already decided and there was nothing they could do to change it. In the end, they could only sigh, throw away their cards, and admit defeat.
"Chen Bing, I was just praising you as a pillar of the nation."
"Exactly, exactly. You just turned around and killed both of us. How shameless of you!"
Listening to the girls' harsh criticism, even Chen Bing felt embarrassed.
"It's all just the rules of the game, the rules of the game."
He put his arm around his young master's shoulder, but Shang Yunmiao didn't seem to want to pay him any attention.
Chen Bing was now at a loss, as she couldn't do anything in front of everyone and had to give up on comforting them for the time being.
Anyway, everyone was just joking.
Chen Bing thought everyone was joking, and in fact, that was indeed the case.
After chatting and laughing for a while, the group played two more rounds. Although Chen Bing performed well in these two rounds, he was unable to replicate his incredible solo team wipe from the previous game.
As the setting sun cast its last rays, time flew by amidst the joyful game of cards, and soon only a little over an hour remained before the meeting time.
Just then, Chen Bing, who was tired of playing cards, got up with Shang Yunmiao to say goodbye to the four of them. They planned to go somewhere else to stroll around and maybe even exchange a kiss, so that the day could end perfectly.
After leaving the quaint resting place, the two did not walk far before they came across a place that rented out small yachts.
At this moment, the lake surface shimmered, and a few wisps of clouds lingered in the azure sky.
The scenery was beautiful, and the air was gentle and warm.
"Let's go, let's go! We agreed this morning to rent a boat and go for a ride on the lake. I almost forgot."
Without further ado, she led Xiao Shang over, paid the bill, and got on the boat. Shang Yunmiao first glanced at the indeed beautiful lake, then her face flushed red, and she whispered in Chen Bing's ear, "Chen Bing, there won't just be the two of us on the boat later. No, you're not allowed to do anything bad."
Patting Shang Yunmiao on the shoulder, Chen Bing told her to relax.
After boarding the boat and putting on life jackets, the small yacht slowly left the dock and headed towards the depths of the lake, operated by a middle-aged man.
The boatman's skills were quite unrestrained. Feeling wave after wave and the white waves constantly churning up on both sides of the boat, Shang Yunmiao cutely wanted to hide in Chen Bing's arms.
Upon seeing her gesture, Chen Bing immediately raised both hands and gave a French military salute.
Seeing Shang Yunmiao's puzzled expression, Chen Bing said in a serious tone, "Look carefully, you're the one who snuggled into my arms, it's not that I'm going to do anything bad."
"What?!" Shang Yunmiao felt extremely dissatisfied, even nine-tenths of the way the bad man had turned the tables on her. In a fit of pique, she intensified her hugging of Chen Bing and then defended her actions, saying, "A hug isn't a bad thing."
Okay, okay, so this is how you play it, right? The final interpretation is up to you, right?
Chen Bing hugged Shang Yunmiao back, feeling that this was a right she could exercise.
After a while, the boat slowed down, and Shang Yunmiao naturally let go of his hand.
Chen Bing, who was initially a little disappointed, smiled after feeling Shang Yunmiao take her hand.
Without saying much, the two holding hands looked down at the things on both sides of the ship.
“Children, pick some night-blooming jasmine in Xigongyuan in the street. Pick some from your Yao village, but don’t pick any flowers.” At this moment, the uncle at the bow of the boat suddenly turned around and said something to the two of them in a string of words.
This was said in the local dialect, meaning that they can pick the lotus leaves here, but not too many.
After saying thank you, Chen Bing quickly picked a small and delicate lotus leaf for Xiao Shang.
If the lotus flowers weren't yet in bloom, he would definitely have given Xiao Shang one.
"Give."
"Thank you." A little embarrassed but also quite surprised, Shang Yunmiao accepted the lotus leaf and gave Chen Bing a sweet smile.
I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I feel that Shang Yunmiao's little face looks even cuter against the backdrop of the lotus leaves.
Without making any unwanted advances, Chen Bing led Xiao Shang to the meeting point after the boat returned to the ferry dock. He gently patted Shang Yunmiao's shoulder and called the girl to a more secluded corner.
Having anticipated this, Xiao Shang obediently refrained from resistance. After finding a good spot to stand, she put her hands behind her back, holding the lotus leaf behind her as well. Then she raised her head and even tiptoed slightly.
Without any hesitation, Chen Bing ended the day with an ordinary kiss. As the sun set, the lovers remained together.
After a brief kiss, the two continued walking towards the meeting place.
Currently, Shang Yunmiao seems to be in good spirits. She chatters around Chen Bing like a little elf, appearing very energetic.
Knowing that this was only temporary, Chen Bing soon noticed that the girl, who had been full of energy just moments before, quickly became tired and could barely walk on the way back with the group after the assembly.
