Chapter 176 Return to Raojiang
Chapter 176 Return to Raojiang
A few days later, when Lord Anton was saying goodbye in Fengxiang, King Kui and his men had already set off with Chi Meng.
Next to the Qi Wang Mansion, a mansion stood quietly, and a voice called out from inside the mansion:
"Chen'er...Chen'er! Where did this kid go?"
At this time, Li Qichen was curled up in a corner of Shi Yao's boudoir and shivering, while Shi Yao was sitting in front of the dressing table, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised and a sweet smile.
Over the past month, Li Qichen has gradually become familiar with everyone in Prince Qi's Mansion. The prejudice he imagined did not happen to him, and everyone here treated him very well.
Of course, Anton was very nice to him, but the concern he showed from time to time made him feel scared.
If he hadn't known that the empress was pregnant at this time, he would really doubt whether Anton Jun's purpose towards him was impure.
As Anton Jun's voice gradually faded away, Li Qichen carefully poked his head out from the corner where he was hiding.
His eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look at Shi Yao, who was smiling like a flower. His face turned red and white, and he was so embarrassed that he could only scratch his head helplessly.
"Sister Shiyao..."
"Okay~" Seeing this, Shi Yao stopped teasing him and stopped laughing. Instead, she looked at him with interest:
"I heard that Master An is here to talk to you about something important. There's no need to be so scared."
"No... I'm not scared..." Hearing this, Li Qichen raised his head hastily, but when he met Shi Yao's gaze, he quickly lowered his head as if he had received an electric shock, muttering, "Alas... This is very complicated. I'll leave first."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out the door.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, he felt a strong force in front of him, and then his neck was tightly strangled by an arm.
The next second, he was dragged out: "Little guy, you really think I don't know you are here, right?"
With Li Qichen's two moves, Anton Jun could find where he was with his eyes closed. His leaving here just now was just an illusion.
Li Qichen struggled and shouted, "Hey hey...Brother, let me go!"
Li Qichen wanted to escape, but he couldn't, and subconsciously placed his hope on Shi Yao.
However, after just a moment, he realized that his behavior was inappropriate, so he quickly looked away.
Anton knew all of this, so he leaned over and whispered in his ear:
"Look at you, you are such a loser. If you like her, just pursue her boldly! If you don't even dare to look at her now, how can you have a future with her in the future?"
Upon hearing this, Li Qichen's face instantly turned red, and he stammered in retort: "Nonsense...what are you talking about?"
This is why Li Qichen always avoids Anton Jun. He is really afraid that Anton Jun will accidentally let his secrets slip.
But seeing how silly he looked, how could Shi Yao, who had been by the emperor's side for many years, not see it?
Anton sighed secretly in his heart, then adjusted his state and said seriously:
"I really have something to talk to you about this time. Pack up now. I will take you and Xingyun to Raojiang to meet someone."
"Huh? So sudden?"
Li Qichen couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, completely forgetting the awkwardness of the two of them at the moment, and asked, "Does Xingyun know about this?"
"He knew about it a few days ago."
Li Qichen frowned slightly and muttered, "Why am I the last one to know...?"
Anton Jun gave him a slap on the head: "She is a married woman now, and she and her brother and sister-in-law should pack up their things properly? Are you comparing yourself to her?
When you dare to face your inner self, I will inform you in advance. "
Speaking of this, Li Qichen's tone weakened again: "Forget it then..."
In fact, Anton probably knew a little about Li Qichen's concerns.
As for other people, he might be quite confident that he could see through the feelings between the two, but he couldn't guarantee it for Shi Yao.
There are so many reasons, it’s hard to say.
But in Anton Jun's heart, it is more likely that Shi Yao's gentleness made Li Qichen mistakenly have a relationship that he shouldn't have.
Alas, what a bad fate!
Seeing Li Qichen reluctant to leave the person behind him, An Dongjun could only push him away: "Alright, alright, let's go, let's try to go early and come back early."
......
A few days later, in Raojiang territory, Sizhou.
Before setting off, Lord Anton had already agreed with King Kui and others to meet here.
The reason for choosing this place is that besides being close to the Central Plains, it is also not far from the rebel village.
At this time, Anton Jun, Miao Luantong, Li Xingyun, Lu Linxuan and Li Qichen, a large group of people came here in a mighty manner.
King Kui and Chi Meng were stunned for a moment when they saw the large group of people in front of them.
Aren’t we going to defeat the Poison King and take back Raojiang?
What do you guys mean by this?
Seeing this, Anton Jun simply explained to everyone that he was going to take Li Xingyun and Li Qichen to meet someone, and Ji Ruxue, as Li Xingyun's wife, would definitely come.
When Lu Linxuan saw that his two senior brothers had gone to Raojiang, he clamored to go along as well. Zhang Zifan's reason was because of Lu Linxuan.
As for Miao Luantong, it was because Li Zhaozhao was already getting pregnant, and as the younger sister she had to follow closely...ahem, just kidding.
All in all, with her strength, she is naturally here to help.
After the two groups joined forces, they headed towards the rebel Jiuli Village.
Although they were exhausted along the way, they were not tired at all. They passed through one forest after another and finally arrived at Jiuli Village.
Their first reaction was to send someone in to investigate, but thinking that their strength was already strong enough, they simply went straight in.
When they walked into the village, they found that the entire village had become empty. There was only silence all around, and the once prosperous market was now deserted.
Seeing this scene, Anton Jun could probably guess something. Lord Du must have known that King Kui went to Fengxiang for help, and he also knew the current strength of Qi State.
I guess all the people from other villages including Jiuli Village who had surrendered to the Poison Lord have been summoned to the Ten Thousand Poison Cave by the Poison Lord.
Li Xingyun looked around: "Is this Jiuli Village? Why is there no one here?"
An Dongjun nodded slowly and continued to lead everyone forward: "I guess Lord Du knew that King Kui was going to Fengxiang, so he went back to the Ten Thousand Poison Cave in advance to make preparations.
You have seen it all along the way, right?"
"That's right..." Everyone nodded in agreement.
It is normal that Du Gong is afraid of Qi State and summons all the villages to defend in advance. After all, just now, Anton Jun and his friends had seen many small traps left by Du Gong on the way here.
"So....what should we do next?"
"Look at that!"
Just then, Miao Luantong discovered the notice posted on the bulletin board.
