"But Xiangyang and Chongyuan are worried about me day and night," Pang Yi looked at Zhong Mingwei, who obviously had a lot to say but didn't know whether to speak. He pursed his lips and finally spoke, "My Lord. Xiangyang and Chongyuan know my situation, and they all hope to be like me, resigning and following me. They planned to do so as early as last year, but... they never said it, and they didn't dare to mention it to me. Now, they have heard the news that the King of Pingxi is going back to Beijing, and they also expected that Ningguta will definitely be in chaos. So they are even more anxious. They all hope that I will allow them to resign."
"Who told you to contact them secretly?" Zhong Mingwei's face was extremely dark. He looked at Pang Yi coldly, "What are their identities? How did they climb up step by step in the army over the years? Pang Yi, you should know better than me. Now I am useless. Fortunately, they were not implicated by me, and they will definitely have a bright future in the future. Now we should cut off contact with them so that they have nothing to worry about. Why are you still contacting them without permission?"
"I know I was wrong. I did have secret correspondence with Nanjiang, but please rest assured. The three of us are very careful. We only communicate once every three or two months. The last time we communicated was before Chongyuan went on the expedition." Pang Yi was so busy that he knelt down, but he couldn't help but say, "I know you are thinking about Xiangyang and Chongyuan, but Xiangyang and Chongyuan are really worried about you. If I don't tell them about your recent situation from time to time, they will probably have wild thoughts and will not be able to stay in Nanjiang peacefully." At this point, Pang Yi sighed softly, "Master, they are just like me. They have followed you since childhood. It is unreasonable for them to enjoy themselves and ignore you. Master, please understand."
How could Zhong Mingwei not understand?
Last year, he had scolded Pang Yi and chased Pang Yi away, but Pang Yi still resigned from his post and came to Ningguta. He didn't say it, but he felt guilty towards Pang Yi in his heart. Chi Chongyuan and Cheng Xiangyang were different. Their identities were not known to outsiders, so they would not be implicated by him. Now they are valued by Xu Chengjin and can be said to be Xu Chengjin's right-hand men. As long as they don't make any mistakes, they will have a bright future. As their master, he is naturally happy for them. But if they are asked to give up this bright future and follow him, an ordinary citizen, he naturally cannot bear it and will not allow it.
"That's impossible," Zhong Mingwei shook his head decisively, still with a cold face, "Just let them give up this idea and tell them that I'm not their master anymore, and they don't have to worry about me, an ordinary person."
"Master..." Pang Yi called in a low voice, feeling bitter and uncomfortable in his heart, but he couldn't say any more. He just knelt there with his shoulders drooped.
"Mingwei, tonight..." Meiya came in excitedly, and saw Pang Yi kneeling and Zhong Mingwei with a gloomy face. Her originally excited face immediately became gloomy. She walked over and pulled Pang Yi up, staring at Zhong Mingwei fiercely, "Are you bullying Pang Yi again?"
"Madam, it's nothing... nothing happened." Pang Yi explained hurriedly.
Zhong Mingwei didn't say anything. He stood up and strode out of the room with his hands behind his back.
"Pang Yi, don't be afraid of him, and don't kneel down at every turn in the future," Mei Ya said to Pang Yi while staring at Zhong Mingwei's figure, "If he scolds you again in the future, you can go to me, and I will naturally seek justice for you!"
"Madam! It's really not what you think." Pang Yi hurriedly explained, and then told Mei Ya the whole story.
Mei Ya listened for a long time and understood. She looked at the vase of flowers on the table. The setting sun shone on the flowers, coating them with a layer of light golden color. They were so beautiful that they were indescribably beautiful. Mei Ya stared at the flowers in a daze until Pang Yi called her, "Madam, can you understand our feelings? We are really worried about Master. We don't care about high positions, high salaries, or future prospects. Since we were young, the three of us have sworn to follow Master till death in this life. Now that Master is in danger, we are naturally very anxious. If Xiangyang and Chongyuan can come back, it would be the best. Their kung fu is not inferior to mine, and they are our own people, so we can rest assured, right?"
