Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!-Chapter 111: Mission, Ambush 28

This can’t go on like this, we need to find a once-and-for-all solution, otherwise getting into fights every few days, who can handle taking care of them.

"Fine, so no one wants to speak!"

Fiercely speaking to Dongfang Xu: "I don’t need a brawler, just leave!"

Leng Qi was happy to hear this, but the smile had barely formed on his face when Cheng Xiaoxiao’s cold words came through.

"And you, Leng Qi, I won’t keep guards around me who pretend to obey but actually don’t listen to advice. After today, go back to wherever you came from!"

These two sentences successfully stupefied the two ruffled figures, quickly deflating their arrogance.

"Xiaoxiao, I..."

"It’s not like that, Miss Cheng..."

Cheng Xiaoxiao raised her hand to stop them from trying to explain, "I need helpers who can solve problems for me, not create trouble that annoys me. Since you two can’t get along peacefully, then get lost early."

"I wouldn’t..."

Cheng Xiaoxiao retorted unceremoniously, "Wouldn’t what? Wouldn’t hold me back? Then what were you doing just now? You’ve delayed our departure time, and time is life, understand?

No matter the reason, I’m pressed for time and don’t have the leisure to watch you love and kill each other."

As soon as this was said, the men behind held their breath, wanting to laugh but not daring to make a sound.

Miss Cheng’s description was spot on, truly accurate, even though they considered Miss Cheng one of their own, but everyone has the right to freedom and making friends!

Leng Qi, relying on his familiarity with Miss Cheng, even dared to meddle with Miss Cheng’s matters, truly deserved it.

Even if Dongfang Xu has some feelings for Miss Cheng, it’s the Pavilion Master’s matter, what is he worrying about!

When Leng Qi and Dongfang Xu heard this, they couldn’t remain calm and spoke in unison.

"Who’s loving and killing each other with him."

"Who’s loving and killing each other with him."

Cheng Xiaoxiao shrugged, "See! How well-coordinated you two are."

"No, we’re both men, how could Miss Cheng say that."

"What’s wrong with men, men can have bromance too!"

"..." Cheng Xiaoxiao spoke quickly without thinking, blurting it out frankly.

After speaking, she regretted it immensely. In today’s open times, hearing such words almost makes one want to ship a CP, but now is not the era of flamboyant passion.

In any case, these ancient people probably didn’t understand!

The men behind nudged each other, exchanged small whispers, "What’s bromance?"

"What does bromance between men mean?"

One person thought of something and slapped his thigh, "Couldn’t be..."

Each single guy’s eyes widened, expressions varied, contemplating.

Leng Er, cough cough!

Another cough cough! Twice.

Broke the unhealthy thoughts of the subordinates, Cheng Xiaoxiao is still young, how can they speak nonsense before her!

The subordinates all looked at Leng Er, "Boss, you sure Miss Cheng understands nothing?"

If she doesn’t know, then how does she know about that... Qingguan Hall isn’t just frequented by women but also by those with certain male preferences, so the way Miss Cheng describes bromance between men is truly spot on, learned something new.

The self-brainstorming men all seemed to understand, raising eyebrows and exchanging knowing glances, lips curling up in silent yet vocal exchanges, suddenly, their injuries seemed less painful.

The overwhelmed Leng Er watched them quietly, apparently lacking recent training, their minds couldn’t stay clean.

For the sake of preventing subordinates from acting foolishly, silently mouthing two words.

Pavilion Master!

The group of people below changed their expressions and dared not entertain wild thoughts, collectively returning to expressionless killing machines.

Following Miss Cheng these two days has been a bit carefree, all led astray by Captain Leng, saying things like Miss Cheng is kind-hearted, likes lively and cheerful people, without the pressure of the Dark Pavilion, couldn’t hold back releasing their hidden personality traits.

They can’t possibly keep a stern face all day long, what if they scare Miss Cheng, even Commander Han said, not only should they protect Miss Cheng safely, but also always pay attention to her emotions, can’t allow her to feel wronged.

They’re just following orders, truly frustrated and aggrieved.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Xu felt extremely wronged, "Xiaoxiao how could you see me like that, I..." my heart is only for you.

The words of confession almost slipped out, but thinking of all these annoying people present, he forcibly held it back.

The unashamed Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t care about the little schemes in these people’s hearts, quickly changing the topic, "Leng Qi stays behind to look after the wounded, tomorrow escort them back to Qingshan Village."

"But I..."

Leng Qi still wanted to argue, but as soon as he met Cheng Xiaoxiao’s unfriendly gaze, he didn’t dare continue.

That gaze seemed mild and bright, yet sent a chill down Leng Qi’s spine.

When Miss Cheng said he was disobedient and wanted to expel him, if he said one more word, wouldn’t it really leave no room for return.

If he was really sent back, where would he save face, wouldn’t he be laughed at by his brothers, moreover he couldn’t withstand the Pavilion Master’s wrath.

Very quickly, led by Cheng Xiaoxiao, a group of people moved swiftly in the dark night, leaping over forests and steep slopes, heading towards the bandits’ camp.

...

Today at the Qi Royal Mansion in Yanzhou County, the cold atmosphere was tense to the extreme, King Qi was furious, the pens, inkstones, teacups, and vases on the desk were all smashed towards his two sons and their confidants kneeling below, even the always beloved Princess Consort was kneeling by the table, weeping.

Seeing his sons smashed to the point of blood flowing from head wounds, he was truly heartbroken, raising a tearful face and saying: "Prince, Jing’er was wrong, truly wrong, look at how much blood he’s lost..."

It would have been better if she hadn’t spoken, opening her mouth again ignited King Qi’s rage.

"It’s all you, how dare you speak, it was I who was blind to believe your nonsense, thinking the son, although not as good as the eldest son, had merit, if only you taught well, he wouldn’t have turned so absurd."

He said, heavily slapping the table, causing the items above to tremble, the Princess Consort’s heart also tightened, anxious, listening as the King’s reprimands continued.

"Not only did you not correct your son’s mistakes, but you also abetted him, deceiving superiors and subordinates, you put me in your sights?

King Qi was furious, his chest heaving uncontrollably, nearly collapsing, if not for the chief eunuch rushing to support him.

At this point, the Princess Consort saw her husband unable to breathe evenly, deeply aware that this time things might not end well.

Crying, she crawled on her knees to King Qi’s feet, using her past coquettish charm, with eyes full of tenderness and grievance looking at King Qi, tears dropping one by one, pitifully moving, sobbing as she pleaded, "Prince calm your anger, Prince calm your anger, if you must punish, then punish your humble servant! It’s your humble servant’s fault for not teaching the son well, your humble servant is at fault, your humble servant will take the punishment with Jing’er."

The previously invincible tactics were, to King Qi now, practically adding fuel to the fire.

Upon hearing these words, his anger only grew, even in this situation she still cares for that wretch, it’s simply outrageous.

Slap!

A loud slap knocked the Princess Consort to the ground, ringing her ears, unable to react for a long time.

Married to the Prince for this many years, he had never spoken a harsh word to her, but today he actually struck her.
