Shang Changge laughed, patting the man's big head and pinching his handsome, rugged face:
"Okay, sure. But before that, General Xiao, you need to tell me exactly what I did to upset you?"
Xiao Ji: "Ge Family Village".
Xiao Ji didn't say much, seemingly too angry to talk.
Gejiazhuang?
Shang Changge was initially puzzled, but then she realized that it must be that her younger brother had told Xiao Ji about the hunting plan, but she didn't quite understand why Xiao Ji was angry.
So, under the pitch-black night, the two of them stared at each other, wide-eyed.
A moment later,
Xiao Ji sighed, leaving a cool, wet kiss on the woman's delicate, full lips. After they parted, forehead to forehead, she pleaded:
"I hope that the princess will think of me before doing anything dangerous in the future."
He gently stroked Shang Changge's face, afraid that his rough palms, hardened from years of wielding weapons, might hurt her.
"Though it is a wishful thought, I still hope that the princess will occasionally think of relying on me."
I am capable of many things; even if you treat me as your subordinate, that would be fine.
A princess doesn't need to do everything herself, especially things that endanger her life.
Shang Changge felt a tingling, itchy sensation on her skin where Xiao Ji's palm had caressed her, an itch that seemed to reach her very heart.
Feeling a bit comfortable, she deliberately moved half of her cheek closer to the man's large hand and rubbed it against him.
She looks like a little wildcat with sharp claws and teeth. One day, when she felt like it, she took the initiative to rub her head against the palm of the person she liked and act cute.
“I understand what you mean. But Xiao Ji, I like the feeling of hunting.”
Actually, it's more accurate to say that I'm used to it than to say that I like it.
During the apocalypse, she had almost daily missions to hunt zombies, a lifestyle that lasted for nearly ten years.
She had only been in this completely new world for less than three months after transmigrating into the novel.
Shang Changge was still rubbing her cheek against Xiao Ji's palm, completely unaware of how damaging her actions were to Xiao Ji.
Xiao Ji's eyes were deep, all his anger had been worn away by Shang Changge, and he leaned in to kiss her red lips, tentatively taking a step further:
"May I join the princess in this mission to fight the enemy?"
Only after the kiss ended did Shang Changge have time to respond.
"I think it's fine for General Xiao to keep his men hidden in a concealed place. It's not too late for us to come out and fight alongside each other when I can't defeat them."
If the people of Gejiazhuang have a backup plan, we can respond promptly.
Clearly, Shang Changge would not be bewitched by a kiss.
Seeing the unwavering determination in the little rascal's eyes, Xiao Ji knew that persisting was futile and had no choice but to compromise.
The next day, early in the morning.
Shang Changge, dressed in an emerald green gown of unparalleled elegance, sat regally in the Dali Temple, listening to the confrontation between the Dali Temple Minister and Shang Rui.
Yes, the case of the Imperial Academy Master has been solved.
It was said that Feng Xiyao hadn't slept all night, and had led a team to investigate the case thoroughly, following every clue.
Thinking of this, Shang Changge couldn't help but look at Feng Xiyao not far away.
Seeing that Feng Xiyao seemed to have noticed something and was looking over, Shang Changge couldn't help but secretly give Feng Xiyao a thumbs up.
sharp!
Feng Xiyao blinked and raised her chin slightly, striking a pose of slight pride.
Shang Changge smiled, finding it adorable.
Shang Rui: "Lord Feng, the imperial court has never interfered in the conflicts of the martial arts world, especially the internal struggles between martial arts sects."
That teacher was Yun Shu's fifth uncle, a blood relative; the crescent-shaped scar behind his ear was the best proof of that.
"Yun Shu killed him on the orders of Patriarch Ge to clean house for the sect."
This is their sect's internal affair; the Dali Temple has no reason to interfere.
"Moreover, my elder sister, the female musician in her household, also said that Yun Shu's fifth uncle was the murderer who almost wiped out her entire sect back then."
He slaughtered his entire family back then, and today he and his wife and children died at Yun Shu's hands. It's a fitting retribution for karma; they deserved to die.
With every word Shang Rui spoke, the face of the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, Feng Xiyao's father, darkened further.
Unfortunately, this was a prince, and a prince favored by the emperor, so he dared not speak out against Shang Rui's sophistry.
Especially yesterday,
The Emperor personally agreed to grant amnesty to the Ge family village.
Moreover, the teacher who died was indeed from Gejiazhuang, but that's not a big deal.
This person also has the identity of a tutor at the Imperial Academy, doesn't he? Even if the Third Prince comes, he can still arrest the murderer according to the law!
The difficulty lies in the fact that this person has just been accused of almost slaughtering his entire family. This...this is just too difficult to handle!
"In my opinion, this case should end here."
"I know this puts Lord Feng in a difficult position, but don't worry. I will personally take Yunshu to the palace later to beg my father for forgiveness."
I will also report the whole story to my father, and I will make sure that Lord Feng is not put in a difficult position.
Lord Feng gave Shang Rui a fake, flattering smile, but didn't reply.
Instead, he turned his gaze to Shang Changge, who had been sitting there without uttering a word since arriving, and gestured for her opinion:
"I wonder what the princess's opinion is on this case?"
The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review was promoted by Prime Minister Murong Yu and is a staunch supporter of the Crown Prince's faction. He knows a lot.
Knowing that Shang Changge and Shang Rui didn't get along, and also knowing that Shang Changge was different from before,
Therefore, Lord Feng is now hoping that Shang Changge can say something that will allow for a more flexible approach to the case.
Instead of letting Shang Rui gloss over the matter with a few words and letting the murderer go unpunished.
pity,
Today is destined to disappoint Lord Feng.
Shang Changge looks at Shang Rui, and Shang Rui also looks at Shang Changge.
Shang Rui now realized that his eldest sister was different. Shang Changge looked over.
I was prepared to face Shang Changge's dissent, but...
Shang Changge smiled slightly at Shang Rui, a smile more friendly than ever before:
"My opinion is the same as my third brother's."
Shang Rui was stunned; he wondered if he had misheard.
Shang Rui hadn't misheard; Shang Changge was agreeing with Shang Rui's opinion.
Shang Changge withdrew her gaze from Shang Rui and looked at Lord Feng and the other officials who were jointly investigating the case:
"Third brother is right, he makes perfect sense!"
"The imperial court has never interfered in the conflicts between martial arts sects; the fighting and killing between sects is their own business."
It's perfectly normal for sects to purge their own members. As long as it doesn't harm the common people, the imperial court doesn't need to intervene.
He finished speaking.
Shang Changge turned her gaze back to Shang Rui, meeting his suspicious look.
His expression shifted subtly, revealing righteous indignation, and his gaze moved again, this time settling on Mi Chan, who was kneeling in the center of the hall:
"My third brother also said something else right: karma and retribution are inevitable."
"My poor Chan'er, after years of searching, finally found her enemy, but couldn't kill him with her own hands to avenge herself."
Shang Rui glanced at Mi Chan, but showed no sympathy.
However, the suspicion in his eyes faded, and he smiled broadly, exchanging a few words with Shang Changge.
Finally, after exchanging a few words with Lord Feng and several other officials who were jointly investigating the case, he left with the innocent Ge Yunshu.
Before this, Ge Yunshu and Mi Chan knelt together in the center of the hall. Before they stood up,
Ge Yunshu gave Mi Chan a deep look, then gave her a mischievous, playful smile, like that of a little girl.
She stood up and skipped towards Shang Rui, then linked arms with him and swaggered away.
After stepping out of the main hall's threshold,
He didn't forget to turn around and make a face at Feng Xiyao, who had led people to the Third Prince's residence to arrest him early that morning, his words full of provocation.
