"Third Young Master, you're fully recovered now, but you must be mindful of the situation," Li Shunfeng reminded him from the side.
"I've been watching closely. Although it's a system of abdication, it's always been the Jiang family who have abdicated in these past few generations. How come it's someone with the surname Qi's turn?" Third Young Master Jiang Changfeng said with a sneer as he wiped his sword.
"I'll go back to court tomorrow. The emperor isn't attending court anymore; it looks like things are going to fall apart. Eunuch Li said he's indulging in women, but his harem is empty. What is he indulging in? A good-for-nothing who can't even lift a cup deserves to sit on this throne?"
"That position was originally mine! Mine!" Overwhelmed with emotion, Jiang Changfeng actually broke the arrow in two.
Qi Siyu has been here for quite some time now, and Qi Jingxuan has been very busy. She knows that things in the backyard are not so simple, so she has been living obediently in the same courtyard as Xiyun, chatting and doing embroidery.
Xi Yun was originally from Liu Ruhua's side, so no matter how Qiao Siyu inquired about the general or the affairs of the mansion, she could always avoid the topic.
Qiao Siyu was so angry that she stomped her feet.
Late at night, Qi Jingxuan unexpectedly arrived at Xiaofenglou.
Qiao Siyu immediately prepared a glamorous dance, while Xi Yun had no talent and could only sit there pouring drinks.
A person of little value is naturally not very important to General Qi.
The prefect's side is full of talented people and is also the place where the border army has retired. He will inevitably need the prefect's support. This is the purpose of Qi Jingxuan's trip.
After the dance ended, Qi Jingxuan laughed heartily.
Xi Yun beckoned Qiao Siyu over, and she tactfully withdrew.
"Since you entered the manor, I have been very unkind to you, as I have been too busy with state affairs to have time to see you." Upon hearing these words, Qiao Siyu immediately kissed him on the cheek.
"I'm fine, I know the general is busy!" Although she had many complaints in her heart, she still appeared considerate and attentive.
"You little vixen." Qi Jingxuan wrapped his arm around Qi Siyu's slender waist, and she immediately laughed and sat on Qi Jingxuan's lap.
Seeing this, the maids nearby had no choice but to leave, and Xi Yun also quickly left, as she didn't want to witness this disgusting scene.
Qiao Siyu whispered in Qi Jingxuan's ear, her breath warm and gentle, "The general is so handsome, you're the real enchantress."
No woman in the manor had ever been so bold before. Qi Jingxuan seemed to have obtained some novelty, and his eyes were instantly filled with desire.
Qi Jingxuan scooped Qiao Siyu into the house in one go, saying in a soft, gentle voice, "General, you're so amazing."
Qi Jingxuan originally came here to complete a mission, but he didn't expect that Qiao Siyu, who was 24 years old, was different from the seventeen or eighteen-year-olds in the manor.
He actually got a reaction himself, "I'll show you how powerful I really am later!"
Qiao Siyu blushed, "I don't want to look~~~~~~~" Her soft, panting voice came again. Looking at her elegant appearance, her dance dress slipped down her fragrant shoulders, revealing her charm and sexiness. What decent man could resist that?
The semi-transparent dress clung tightly to her perfect curves. Even after just a few steps, Qi Jingxuan felt like he had walked a very long way. He gently placed her on the bed. "Is this alright?"
His magnetic voice pleaded for her answer, yet seemed to need it nonetheless. He kissed her before Qiao Siyu could reply.
"Ugh, General, the door isn't closed!" Qiao Siyu wondered why this person was in such a hurry and quickly reminded him.
"Never mind, let's continue."
The bed curtains were drawn, and the story began...
"Dixiang, bring in some water!" Qi Jingxuan shouted outside. Dixiang was standing guard outside, but the door was open, so she could only stand far away and was almost asleep.
"Yes, General." Di Xiang obediently carried the hot water in and prepared to come in, bringing it to the bedside.
"Put it at the door." Unlike his warm and gentle tone with Qiao Siyu, his voice was full of authority.
Di Xiang obediently withdrew.
One hour later
"Dixiang, bring in some water!"
·····
Qi Jingxuan was washing himself when he saw the water in the basin and dust slowly falling off, realizing someone was on the roof. He quickly pulled Qiao Siyu under the bed and threw a signal flare towards the door.
Seeing that there was no one guarding the area, the assassins came down from the roof and stabbed the blankets viciously.
He felt something was wrong as he stabbed, then lifted the blanket to find no one there. The assassin, who had been staring at the door, quickly came in. "He's in the room, he didn't go out."
The group searched around the wardrobe screen and soon spotted Qi Jingxuan under the bed. Helpless, Qi Jingxuan had no choice but to fight with his bare hands.
He got up and took down one man with two punches, snatched the machete from the man's hand, and began to fight.
Several people with high martial arts skills were helpless, and even Qi Jingxuan could not gain the upper hand.
"Stop! I'll kill her!" One of them grabbed Qiao Siyu, who was trying to escape.
"General, we've arrived!" The elite soldiers in the mansion rushed in immediately.
Qi Jingxuan immediately stopped them, indicating that Qiao Siyu was in their hands.
"Who ordered you to do this?"
"Let me go, or the woman you were just having sex with will be dead by my blade," the assassin said fiercely, his blade already cutting a gash in Qiao Siyu's neck.
"General, save me!" Qiao Siyu, a young lady from a sheltered family, had never seen such a scene before, and she burst into tears.
"Go ahead and kill them. I have plenty of dancers in my manor, and if all else fails, the world is vast, and they're everywhere." As he spoke, Qi Jingxuan began to sheath his sword, assuming a posture of preparing to leave.
The assassin's eyes widened in disbelief. They had been so affectionate on the rooftop!
In a split second, taking advantage of the assassin's distraction, Qi Jingxuan picked up the broadsword of the guard next to him and threw it straight at him.
The assassin fell to the ground instantly, bleeding profusely. Several strands of Qiao Siyu's hair were also cut off, and she screamed in fright.
Seeing that the assassin had been dealt with, the guards began to clean up the mess.
"Did I scare you?" Qi Jingxuan quickly went forward to comfort Qiao Siyu.
Qiao Siyu stared at him with wide, incredulous eyes. What if she had hurt herself when she picked up the knife? Leaning against the general's chest, it didn't feel as warm as before.
"General!" She buried her head deeply in the general's arms, and Qi Jingxuan patted her comfortingly.
"Failure? Are you all good-for-nothings? What use are you? Take you out and kill you!" Jiang Changfeng was furious at the few good-for-nothings in front of him. He was practicing calligraphy and angrily pushed all the calligraphy and paintings on the ground, his fists clenched tightly.
"Go find Qi Shuwen and tell him that the manor will find a way to make a move. Once it's done, I will promise him the position of Duke of Protectorate!" In the past, Qi Shuwen always used the excuse of reciting poetry to get close to the sons of princes and nobles.
Now that such a great opportunity is in front of him, he wouldn't let it go to waste, would he?
