Guan Zhiyue and her group had been traveling for almost half a month and settled down in a town called Matuan, because they were about two more days away from reaching Sihuangzhou.
"Madam, we'll be staying in this town tonight. How are you feeling, settling in?" Li Qiji followed Guan Zhiyue eagerly.
Guan Zhiyue rolled her eyes. For the past two weeks, Li Qiji had been like a maniac, always there for her wherever she could see him, except when he went to the toilet and wouldn't go in to bother her.
"Li Qiji, are you out of your mind? We've been following you for half a month now, aren't you hot or tired?"
Guan Zhiyue glared angrily at Li Qiji, who was following behind her, and launched into a tirade of criticism!
Li Qiji wasn't annoyed. Instead, he stepped forward and put his arm around Guan Zhiyue's shoulder, saying, "Wife, it's getting late. Let's go and rest early. We're almost at Sihuangzhou. We should get some rest."
Guan Zhiyue tried to move around, but found herself seemingly restrained and unable to move at all. So she reluctantly followed Li Qiji into the room.
Guan Chengzhuo was quite satisfied with the journey, but Su Xu was extremely dissatisfied. He had originally thought he could spend some quality time with her, alone with her, but now, this troublemaker had suddenly appeared, and he was furious!
After Guan Zhiyue and Li Qiji arrived at the inn's room, Li Qiji checked the room and, feeling it was relatively safe, took Guan Zhiyue downstairs to eat.
He had been eating dry rations all along the way, but they had choked him quite a bit. I wonder how his wife managed to get through it.
In fact, Guan Zhiyue often finds a place to eat alone. As long as she avoids Li Qiji, she will slip into the space to eat alone.
"I don't want to eat anymore, you go eat! I'm going to wash up and go to bed, I'm too tired!" Guan Zhiyue yawned and pushed Li Qiji, urging him to hurry up and eat, as it was getting late.
Seeing Guan Zhiyue yawning incessantly, Li Qiji had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
I took Jiwu downstairs to eat, hoping to finish eating early and come back up so I could cuddle with my fragrant wife and go to sleep!
"Master, you've been guarding this place every day, but it seems you haven't gotten any benefits from it?" Ji Wu asked curiously as he walked behind Li Qiji.
Upon hearing this, Li Qiji became dissatisfied. He turned around and stood at the top of the stairs, lightly fanning himself, and said, "You don't understand, do you? What I enjoy is this process. Don't you see that Madam's opinion of me has changed a lot? This is all the result of my hard work!"
Ji Wu didn't understand, and shook his head, saying, "I don't see any change in Madam's opinion of you, but I do know that she used her fists and feet on you."
Li Qiji: This guard is no longer needed, no longer needed.
"You blockhead, you don't know anything! You know absolutely nothing!"
Ji Wu: "..." Did I dig up your ancestral grave?
Li Qiji's actions are a classic example of "it's fun to abuse your wife for a while!"
Come on! Start by locking Guan Zhiyue away in the cold palace, ignoring her completely, and treating her like dirt!
Haha, now you're all better!
Now it seems like his journey to win back his wife will be long and arduous!
This is what happens to a scumbag!
When Guan Chengzhuo saw Li Qiji come down, he grinned at Su Xu, who was sitting opposite him, and then laughed, "Looks like he's been dealt with again."
Su Xu looked over and saw Li Qiji coming down alone with his guards, and walking towards them.
"My two ministers, what are you talking about? How dare you look at me like that! I'm about to get angry!"
Guan Chengzhuo ignored him and asked directly, "Where's my little sister? Why isn't she coming down for dinner?"
Li Qiji pursed his lips and then said, "Yue'er is too tired. She wants to rest first, so she won't come down."
Guan Chengzhuo nodded, then called over the inn's waiter and asked him to send some food up to Guan Zhiyue's room upstairs. Only then did he feel relieved.
It's truly infuriating that Li Qiji missed such a great opportunity to shine.
"Master, the closer we get to the borders of Sihuangzhou, the more strange things we find."
Logically, with locusts appearing, the people should have suffered a complete crop failure, so why are there no beggars in sight?
Although Su Xu felt uncomfortable, he still thought very seriously about the locust problem when facing the people.
They were only two days away from entering the territory of Sihuangzhou. Logically, they should have encountered many people fleeing famine and begging for food on the way.
But from the beginning until now, we haven't seen any refugees, or even any beggars as usual.
Even in the capital city, right under the emperor's nose, there are people begging; how much more so in this place?
Li Qiji picked up the bowl, but after hearing Su Xu's words, he put it down again. This was simply too unusual.
“Ji Wu…”
Li Qiji called Ji Wu to his side, whispered something to him, and then, as if nothing had happened, continued eating from the bowl on the table.
Seeing that the Emperor had made a decision, the two said nothing more. After the three of them finished their meal, they each returned to their own rooms.
When Li Qiji came up, Guan Zhiyue had just finished eating and drinking in the space and had taken a shower.
The two even bumped into each other.
"Be careful, come here, let me dry your hair!" Li Qiji reached out and caught Guan Zhiyue, who almost fell.
Guan Zhiyue was just about to go find Bilian to dry her hair, so this was a perfect opportunity for free labor.
Have you finished eating?
"Hmm, the waiter brought you some food, but I noticed you haven't touched it. Would you like some?"
Li Qiji glanced at the untouched food on the table.
Guan Zhiyue shook her head. "I'm not eating. I want to dry my hair quickly and go to sleep."
Li Qiji thought for a moment and said, "Come on, go lie down on the bed. I'll dry your hair. You can just go to sleep."
Guan Zhiyue nodded, and then she drifted off to sleep. When she woke up, she heard various sounds of fighting.
At this moment, Li Qiji was holding Guan Zhiyue in his arms, enjoying her warm fragrance!
Ah~
Before Guan Zhiyue could speak, Li Qiji covered her mouth with his hand and whispered in her ear, "There's an assassin!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than their door was kicked open, and three assassins dressed in black rushed in. Li Qiji grabbed Guan Zhiyue and pulled her into his arms.
With a hook of his foot, he kicked the sword at the foot of the bed into his hand, and then rolled off the bed with Guan Zhiyue in his arms.
He pulled Guan Zhiyue behind him to shield her, glaring fiercely at the three men in black in front of him.
Without any further ado, he grabbed Guan Zhiyue and started fighting the man in black.
The men in black kept Guan Zhiyue behind them, exchanging glances and no longer targeting Li Qiji. Instead, they focused their attacks on Guan Zhiyue behind him.
At this moment, Guan Zhiyue was terrified and could only hold onto Li Qiji's arm tightly, not daring to let go at all.
