Instead of taking his life, they found a pretext to embezzle military funds and exiled him to a distant place.
“My people have been secretly protecting him, and he has gone through many twists and turns.”
In recent years, he worked as a lowly laborer in Chiyan County.
Not only is he alive, but his once infamous playboy son is also alive, and the two depend on each other for survival.
Through a series of unforeseen events and the cruel twist of fate, they are now all in Fengjing.
What?! Right here in Fengjing?
Where is Zhao Hengjiang now?
Qu Heng did not hide anything and told the whole story:

After an incense stick had burned, Qu Heng disappeared outside the tavern, leaving Li E alone.
The color drained from his face, leaving it as pale as gold foil, and his eyes stared blankly at the mess of wine cups in front of him.
