After Feng Lai let go of those seemingly impossible obsessions, she believed that upon returning to Shu, she would be greeted by a completely new self. One truly worthy of the title, she didn't want to disappoint herself again. When that time came, she would choose someone truly suitable for her, having fulfilled her mission and responsibilities.
The Qilin Guards escorting Princess Fenglai left at full speed after safely handing her over to Li Yan. After a while, the group saw the sun getting increasingly scorching, so they decided to temporarily avoid the scorching sun and find a place to rest.
They say that after a good meal, one craves sex. After the Qilin Guards had eaten and rested, they couldn't help but lean towards Qiu Liang and said gossipingly, "Qiu Liang, I don't think Princess Feng Lai is quite like the rumors say. Although she's a bit willful, she's still a nice girl. Why do you always seem so distant?"
"......" Qiu Liang's silence made the people watching the excitement more curious. "It's no use for you to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Although the mask of Qilin Guard is just a symbol of identity, we all know that the true face under the mask is not visible to everyone. Don't tell me that you have no good feelings towards the princess."
Seeing that they were determined not to give up until they got to the bottom of the matter, Qiu Liang put the water bag away and asked, "She's a good person, but she's not right for me. Besides, life is meant to be free to come and go, so who says you have to get married and have children?"
Everyone was stumped by Qiu Liang's question. To put it bluntly, marrying and having children was for the purpose of continuing the family line. Qiu Liang was actually an orphan, so it seemed impossible to convince him with that reason. "Well, I can't argue with you. But if I were you, after the war, if I still missed her, I would definitely go to Shu to find her."
Qiu Liang said that some things are useless no matter how much you say. If they are useless, then don't waste your breath and energy on them. Feng Lai is indeed a good girl, but what he said just now is also the truth, not just a polite remark that he likes her but dares not admit it. "If you have the time to talk now, why don't you hurry back to the valley? We still have a lot to do."
After saying that, Qiu Liang jumped on his horse and prepared to set off. The others followed him and also got on their horses, but they were not in a hurry. "Don't worry, the Madam has Miss Jiang and Sister Hong Yu with her, so nothing will happen. Now that the Second Madam is back, we don't have to worry about the affairs of the palace."
Qiu Liang chuckled and then asked, "I think Hong Yu is younger than you. Do you have the nerve to call her sister?"
"No wonder you are alone among all the brothers. It must be God's will." If you were born with a mouth that cannot speak, who can help you? Unless God has mercy on you.
What do you mean he's the only one who's alone? Besides him, aren't Wang Nianqing and Zhong Qin also alone? "Zhong Qin, isn't the Shadow Master like that too? Why are you only talking about me?"
Everyone said, "Zhong Qin and the Shadow Master are usually too busy and don't have the time. You have the time and opportunity, but you just lose out because of your big mouth and your stubborn mind."
Qiu Liang is good at fighting, but forget about the verbal battle: "Stop, let's not discuss this issue anymore. If we talk about it for a while, I'm really afraid that you guys will rebel and attack me."
The Qilin Guard who had led the instigation smiled and said, "That's good to know. If you meet someone you like in the future, don't hide it from your brothers. For the sake of our friendship, we will definitely not stand idly by."
While Feng Lai was meeting the King of Shu, a fire had been burning outside Zhiyou Forest for two days and one night. As the fuel was running out, the blaze gradually died down. Shi Zairong, standing on the city wall, wiped his face with the wet towel Lin Feng offered him and sighed, "It's already summer, and after all this time, it feels like I'm in a steamer."
Looking at the tower with puffs of green smoke billowing out, Lin Feng also said: "Those of us who are skilled in martial arts can often go out to cool off, so we don't find it too difficult; but the morale of these soldiers in the town seems to have been a little low over the past two days."
Shi Zairong said that, not to mention everyone else, the past two days have been a bit difficult for him. This awful weather, let alone the current situation, would have been enough to make one irritated even without encountering the living dead: "Being surrounded by the living dead and the heat, while physically enduring, always brings on other thoughts."
Lin Feng didn't come over at this time just to accompany Shi Zairong to "warm up by the fire". "I think those zombies seem to have been dealt with almost, so I plan to go out for a walk to check the situation. If there is no other danger, I will call someone to put out the fire, so that the fire will not be brought to the city, which will be troublesome."
Shi Zairong bowed and said with a smile, "Well, I'll leave this difficult task to Master Lin."
Lin Feng lightly tapped his feet and leaped off the modest tower. He first circled the town's low walls, observing the situation of the undead that had previously surrounded the city. Then, he strolled around the town within a ten-mile radius. By the time he returned to meet Shi Zairong, it was almost dark.
Lin Feng said that after looking at the circle of lifeless charcoal outside the city wall and the surrounding quiet forest, he felt that the immediate crisis could be resolved. "It seems that there should be no more zombies around. Arrange people to clean up the battlefield. The smell is really choking. I went out for a walk to avoid vomiting."
Shi Zairong thought for a moment and said, "These corpses are not easy to collect. At the same time, they are all wanderers in the world. Xiao Liang, you should have someone dig a big pit and bury them all together."
"......" Xiao Liang was stunned and didn't know what he was thinking. He didn't respond to Shi Zairong's words.
Shi Zairong: "Xiao Liang?"
Lin Feng: "Military Advisor Xiao?"
Xiao Liang looked at the black charcoal at the foot of the city wall, which had already blended with the earth, but his mind wandered to who knows where. Xiao Liang's body trembled uncontrollably, and then his eyes gradually brightened, no longer as empty as before. "...Ah, Grand Tutor, are you really calling me?"
Shi Zairong and Lin Feng exchanged a glance, then asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you? Did you get a heat stroke?"
Xiao Liang shook his head and said, "No, no, I'm just thinking about something."
