"Little sister, what brings you here?" Ji Fengming's eyes were also red. He gently pushed the little beauty in his arms away and looked her up and down carefully. Seeing that she was still as fair-skinned and beautiful as ever, and had a good complexion, he was relieved: "My little sister has grown even more beautiful. If she continues like this, her husband will not be good enough for her."
Shang Xiye: "..."
This is truly a brother-in-law who stabs him in the heart within just a few words.
"Your Highness, why did you bring Xiao Yao'er here? You knew perfectly well..."
"Brother Xiao Chen, I won't hold you back!" Before Hei Xiao could finish speaking, Ji Fengyao interrupted him with a bright, playful smile.
“Yaoyao is different from ordinary women; she might be able to help.” Shang Xiye took the little bandit’s soft hand in his hand, his trust and affection overflowing.
Upon hearing this, Ji Fengyao turned around and looked at him with an even sweeter smile.
Whether two people have a good or bad relationship can be explained by a single look or expression.
The deep affection between Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao goes without saying. Whenever they are together, they are like walking honey-flavored dog food cans, with plenty of dog food to satisfy their every whim!
It's so sweet it's cloying!
Seeing how close the two of them were, Black Owl thought he would feel a little sad, but he was surprised to find only tenderness and a sense of relief.
Ji Fengyao hadn't seen Ji Chenhai along the way, and asked in confusion, "Brother, where is Father?"
Ji Fengming then had a chance to tell him about Chen Shiyu's deal with the Black Purgatory people, saying, "The Black Purgatory people are pretending to cause trouble in the nearby villages. It seems that Father doesn't want us to get involved in the Black Purgatory's affairs. In order to prevent me and Hei Xiao from going, he and Wei Shu personally led people there."
"The Chen family actually has dealings with Black Purgatory!" Shang Xiye clenched his fists, his murderous aura instantly bursting out with anger.
After calming down these past few days, Black Owl, though still filled with resentment, has finally regained his rationality and offered a fairly fair analysis: "Based on my and Fengming's observations these past few days, it seems that Duke Chen and Chen Xiao are unaware of Black Purgatory. However, it's unclear why Chen Shiyu possesses a token of Black Purgatory, suggesting that he may have a private relationship with someone from Black Purgatory."
"The Chen family father and sons really know how to court death," Ji Fengyao clicked her tongue and shook her head. "They support the Crown Prince's plot to seize power and have private dealings with Black Purgatory. If this gets out, no monarch in the world will tolerate them."
Shang Xiye's face was ashen, and he asked in a deep voice, "When did Chen Shiyu and the people from Black Purgatory agree to meet?"
“In three days, at noon three days from now, Chen Shiyu will have Duke Chen and Chen Xiaoyi accompany him, leading half of the soldiers to a village called Rongma Village to fight. Rongma Village is not far from Crescent Moon City in Xidan. After Duke Chen and the others return to the capital, if they say that they fought against the people of Xidan, others will be more likely to believe it,” Black Owl said.
Shang Xiye snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with a chilling light: "Such rotten worms are better off without in Da Zhao; they beg for defeat, so I will show them what a utter defeat looks like!"
Seeing how angry he was, Ji Fengming casually joked, "Brother-in-law, you're not going to personally go and fight the Duke of Chen, are you? If someone recognizes you, you're doomed."
Shang Xiye: "..."
Is he really that stupid?
When the generals of the border town heard that Shang Xiye had arrived, they all rushed over to see him. They were very happy to see that Shang Xiye had recovered a lot.
Shang Xiye also introduced Ji Fengyao to everyone.
The group of honest, rough-around-the-edges men quickly greeted Ji Fengyao in loud, boisterous voices.
