Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents-Chapter 199 - 41: A Life of War—Returning Empty-Handed (Part 2)
"Understood!"
Upon hearing this from Ye Liuyun,
Shi Sheng nodded knowingly and then turned to leave.
As for Si Nan,
seeing Ye Liuyun’s gaze shift towards him, he immediately responded.
"Uh, suddenly I feel the need to use the restroom, sir, I’ll go take care of that first!"
With that, Si Nan left.
He left the space for Ye Liuyun and Qu Sisi. One must admit, in terms of situational awareness, Si Nan was quite perceptive. He knew that staying would only make him a third wheel, so he chose to leave proactively.
After Si Nan had also left,
Ye Liuyun, smiling, looked at Qu Sisi in front of him.
"So, can we leave now?"
Thinking about finally leaving Prince Jin City,
Qu Sisi’s heart began to fill with anticipation.
Even though the future was uncertain, at least there was hope. Unlike staying in Prince Jin City, where there was none at all.
"No rush!"
Ye Liuyun knew Qu Sisi wanted to leave Prince Jin City as soon as possible,
but he also understood that if they simply left like that, Prince Jin would go mad trying to find them.
"Don’t forget, Prince Jin still doesn’t know you’ve left. We need to wrap things up, and in at most two days, we can leave!"
Hearing there were still two days left,
Qu Sisi wasn’t disappointed.
After all, so many years had passed, just two days were nothing to worry about.
"In these two days, I’ll find you a safe place, just bear with it for a bit, and don’t wander around, okay?"
"Mhm, I understand!"
Knowing that Ye Liuyun was doing this for her, Qu Sisi naturally had no objections, nodding obediently.
Taking this time, Qu Sisi asked Ye Liuyun many things about the Imperial City.
After all, she knew she was going to live there next.
,,,
It was late into the night,
when Ye Liuyun returned to Prince Jin’s Mansion with Si Nan and Jiang Jing.
"From now on, we’re all working for the boss, why don’t we have a drink together?"
Si Nan spoke casually, greeting Jiang Jing in a familiar manner.
"No need!"
Over the years, Jiang Jing’s personality became increasingly reticent, even though he had started to change recently.
But completely changing wasn’t something that could be done overnight.
After rejecting Si Nan,
Jiang Jing looked towards Ye Liuyun.
"How’s the princess consort’s arrangement going?"
Hearing this from Jiang Jing, Ye Liuyun seemed to recall something and smacked his lips, as if savoring something.
After a while,
he finally looked at Jiang Jing.
"Do you really want to know?"
",,,"
Jiang Jing wasn’t foolish; seeing Ye Liuyun’s expression, he could guess a bit.
He didn’t say anything, but his face visibly darkened.
After Ye Liuyun left,
Jiang Jing turned to see Si Nan ready to leave and called him back.
"Weren’t you saying we should drink? Let’s drink at my place!"
"Huh?"
Si Nan was a bit taken aback.
,,,
The next day,
when Ye Liuyun stepped out of his room,
he noticed that Jiang Jing’s expression was much brighter than before.
Si Nan, too, had a satisfied look on his face, and Ye Liuyun raised an eyebrow curiously.
"What did you guys do last night?"
Feeling that the way his boss phrased it was a bit strange, even his gaze seemed different.
But Si Nan didn’t question it.
He said with a grin,
"Boss, the coolness in Prince Jin City is no less than the Imperial Music Bureau in the Imperial City, and this time the girls here were even more charming."
People are shaped by their environment.
This side of Prince Jin City, nestled by mountains and rivers, seemed to nurture more gentle and soft-spoken women.
Last night,
Jiang Jing had proposed drinking at his place, but just drinking felt dull to Si Nan, so he suggested going to a brothel.
To Si Nan,
coming to Prince Jin City without experiencing its brothels would be a wasted trip.
Although Jiang Jing knew where they were, he had never been, neither before coming to Prince Jin City nor while wandering the martial world.
But caught up in the moment, he agreed. It was as if he had opened a door to a new world.
"Quite nice!"
No wonder Jiang Jing looked so pleased.
Ye Liuyun chuckled and patted his shoulder.
Though Jiang Jing had decided to let go and work for Ye Liuyun, upon seeing him like this, he couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
He said in passing,
"I heard early today, Prince Jin has already found out the princess consort didn’t come back last night and has started gathering people to search everywhere!"
"Don’t worry!"
Hearing Jiang Jing say this, Ye Liuyun smiled with understanding.
He had anticipated this,
showing no signs of panic.
,,,
"Useless! All useless!"
Prince Jin, Yan Ze, felt like he was being targeted by heaven.
Last night, he had been in high spirits, but lost ten thousand soldiers.
Just after coming to terms with that,
he heard the news the next day that his princess consort was gone?
For heaven’s sake, how could a living person just disappear like that?
Seeing the messengers still without any news of Princess Consort Jin, Qu Sisi, Prince Jin, Yan Ze, was so enraged he could have drawn his sword on someone.
