Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents-Chapter 168 - 31: Envoys from the Prince’s Manor! One Hundred Thousand Troops Stationed!
Shadow is truly loyal to Qi Yuanliang.
But as soon as he retreated back into the shadows to hide, he couldn’t help but curse twice.
Really fucking poor to the point of insanity.
On the other side.
With confidence now, Qi Yuanliang’s steps were visibly more assured when he returned to the restaurant.
But still.
When he looked at the leftover scraps on the table, Qi Yuanliang fell silent again.
Had he been gone for half an hour?
The dishes here come out so fast—wait, this probably isn’t the time to be thinking about this.
Ye Liuyun was wiping his mouth with a piece of silk.
When he saw Qi Yuanliang return, he stood up with a relaxed face and stretched his legs a bit.
"Brother Qi, you’re back just in time. Here, you eat first. It’s my first time to Prince Jin City, so I’ll take the brothers out for a stroll!"
As he spoke, he didn’t even give Qi Yuanliang a chance to talk and directly left with his men.
",,,"
Eat? Eat what exactly?
Watching Ye Liuyun swagger off with his men,
Qi Yuanliang tried hard to steady his mood. Don’t get mad, don’t get mad, no need to be angry, anyway that guy is about to die soon, it’s not worth losing your cool over a dead man.
"Hoo!"
He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
Damn it, still so fucking pissed off!
,,,
"Hahaha! Boss, you should’ve seen Qi Yuanliang’s face—he almost couldn’t hold it together!"
After leaving the restaurant,
Si Nan couldn’t help it and burst out laughing.
When he remembered Qi Yuanliang’s face just now, changing several times in a row, fighting the urge to get angry but desperately restraining himself, Si Nan thought it was hilarious.
"But, sir!"
Si Nan isn’t exactly a brainless guy.
After laughing for a bit, he started serious analysis.
"We’re pissing off Qi Yuanliang so much, you don’t think he might act in advance?"
"No need to worry."
Ye Liuyun had already seen it coming.
So when he heard Si Nan say that, he just waved his hand.
"Qi Yuanliang’s state of mind isn’t that fragile!"
This old schemer, to have hung onto the Southern Governor post for so many years, is proof enough—Qi Yuanliang is definitely a deep thinker.
And for someone like that, even if he’s fuming, he can still forcibly hold himself back.
At least before he gets what he wants, Qi Yuanliang definitely won’t make a move.
"He’s not just up against me."
At this, Ye Liuyun grinned wide.
Thinks he can play two birds with one stone, huh? Then we’ll see who ends up outsmarting whom.
"Heh heh!"
Si Nan didn’t really get all the twists and turns,
But seeing his boss this confident, even he couldn’t help but laugh along.
"That Southern Governor post is definitely going to be yours, sir!"
It’s all about the future prospects.
Si Nan was dead serious about that. Only if his boss grabs the Governor seat can his own days get better, so whoever gets in the way, just get rid of them.
As he turned,
Si Nan suddenly noticed Shi Sheng beside him, who hadn’t changed his expression the whole time.
"Don’t you have anything you want to say?"
Feels like I’m the only one talking here.
We all work for the boss, how come you never say a word?
"Say? Say what?"
Hearing Si Nan’s question, Shi Sheng gave him a puzzled look first.
Then he shrugged his shoulders, speaking in a completely natural tone.
"Scheming and stuff isn’t my thing. Whatever the boss says to do, I just do."
See, people with simpler minds do have it easier in life.
No need to think about all those twists and turns.
Just follow orders and you’ll be fine.
",,,"
Shi Sheng’s answer instantly wiped the smile from Si Nan’s face.
Well damn, I didn’t expect YOU of all people, with your honest looks, are actually the ass-kissing master.
This kind of ’straightforward’ flattery is the most satisfying one.
The abrupt shift of mood left Shi Sheng a bit baffled—he clearly didn’t get why Si Nan, who was fine just now, became so moody so suddenly.
As for the exchanged glances between Si Nan and Shi Sheng,
Ye Liuyun didn’t pay much attention to them.
Standing at the lakeside, he gazed at the scenery before him, thinking quietly.
Soon enough,
Qi Yuanliang walked out from the restaurant, clearly having calmed himself down, and when he looked at Ye Liuyun, that gentle smile returned to his face.
This ability to keep calm truly commands respect.
"Seems Brother Ye really loves this place!"
Seeing Ye Liuyun gazing appreciatively at the view, Qi Yuanliang smiled and commented.
"Beautiful things always make people feel at ease!"
Qi Yuanliang just smiled, not answering.
Since you like this place so much, letting you die right here would fulfill your wish.
,,,
Not much time passed.
Soon enough,
The lively atmosphere on the streets quieted almost instantly.
In its place came a rhythm of orderly footsteps.
Looking for the source, there appeared a group of armored figures.
"Sir!"
This sight made Si Nan and the others unconsciously move closer to Ye Liuyun, growing wary.
Ye Liuyun remained calm, as if he’d expected this all along.
This is Prince Jin City, after all—the Prince Jin’s turf. Their Embroidered Uniform Guard are the blunt force of the Great Qian Dynasty. The moment they set foot in Prince Jin City, Prince Jin’s side was sure to get the word.
Most likely, this is exactly what Qi Yuanliang wants to see too.
A troop stopped in perfectly neat formation in front of Ye Liuyun and his group. Leading them was a rather handsome young man.
