Chapter 472 -473 “What, Wolf Nine flipped the Emperor of Nanyue’s quilt?!

Apart from Song Gensheng, both Qingzhu and Hei Lie had extensive experience accompanying Zhao Xiyan, so they had anticipated the pair’s late arrival.

That very morning, the two spared no effort in imparting their knowledge to Song Gensheng.

However, although Song Gensheng was of normal intelligence, he proved to be unteachable when it came to matters between men and women.

Thus, as soon as the two entered, they heard the boy’s giggling voice.

“Sister, brother-in-law, those two said you got up late because you went to bed late, what does that mean?”

Qi Yue was already feeling slightly uncomfortable for getting up so late.

Hearing this statement, she immediately thought of the series of romping she had just had with Zhao Xiyan in their room, and half of her face instantly heated up.

“Ahem,” clenching her small fists, she covered her flushed cheeks, “Gensheng, how old are you this year?”

Song Gensheng scratched his head in confusion.

“Fifteen, sixteen? Or seventeen? Can’t remember?!”

Qi Yue twitched the corner of her mouth.

“Alright, then you go figure that out first, then come back and ask this question!”

“…”

Still looking bewildered, Song Gensheng went off to think, as Qingzhu and Hei Lie both sweat nervously.

Fortunately, Qi Yue wasn’t paying them any attention, and Zhao Xiyan acted as if nothing had happened.

Only then did the two relax and began to report the news from the past couple of days.

Recently, the situation had been very favorable, and the news compiled from various aspects was all positive, which Zhao Xiyan handled in only a few words.

There was also news from Fengdu, concerning the Liu Family and the Nanyue Court.

Zhao Chong’s letter said that Liu Zhinan was still attending court normally, visiting the Bamboo Garden every other day.

Li Fengshou’s wounds had healed, and Zhao Chong had sent him and Afa to the black market to do whatever they could.

Feeling immensely grateful, they even wanted to kowtow to Qi Yue in thanks.

As for the Nanyue Court, it was still neither warm nor cold as usual.

Since Yuan Ji, the Peace Envoy, had been appointed as an Admonishing Minister by the Nanyue Emperor, he joined Liu Zhinan in the court.

He did nothing more than shout about uniting the four nations and ending the suffering of the people every day.

But the conservative peace faction remained just as strong, hence the Nanyue Army was still arranging troops at the Nanling and Northern Ridge.

Of course, even though these were major issues, not many ordinary citizens cared about them.

In recent days, the talk of the streets and alleys of Fengdu was still about the bandit case that had disturbed the entire city.

After the main character, Third Master Ma, had fled in a panic, the lead role shifted to the one-eyed Wolf Nine.

It was said that on the night when the Peace Envoy left the Imperial Palace to search for the bandit Third Master Ma, Wolf Nine had been just outside the palace.

Seeing the Peace Envoy leave with Third Master Ma, Wolf Nine entered the Imperial Palace.

Qi Yue’s eyes widened as she read the details of the message.

“What, Wolf Nine flipped the Nanyue Emperor’s blanket?!”

Qingzhu wanted to laugh too, but seeing Zhao Xiyan’s calm face, he immediately pursed his lips discreetly.

“That’s the rumor, but we still don’t know the truth. Zhao Chong is investigating!”

Qi Yue couldn’t help but laugh.

“In doing so, hasn’t he just confirmed the series of charges against him for stealing from Yue’s Hidden Treasury and throwing the torch on Han Linghe’s head?”

Qingzhu also smiled.

“Indeed!”

After glancing at Zhao Xiyan, he added, “This way, no one will associate this matter with the master.”

“It’s true…” Qi Yue nodded her head, “Maybe, I can spin this into something more…”

Zhao Xiyan’s cool gaze swept over in time, and Qi Yue promptly stopped talking, cunningly flashing a smile.

“…I mean, this Wolf Nine really is a divine assist, helping me over and over again.”

After pondering for a moment, she looked at Qingzhu and ordered, “Send a message to Zhao Chong, tell him to keep an eye on this person, and if necessary, don’t let Han Linghe catch him!”

“Yes, master.”

Qingzhu immediately took the order and left.

Only when the conference hall was left with just her and Zhao Xiyan did Qi Yue begin to share her thoughts.

“My lord, have you noticed that the Nanyue Court seems different from the other three nations? It has many things the others do not, just take the recent incident at the Ministry of Revenue’s treasury, for instance; that security equipment completely outclasses Western Chu and Donggao! Those grand keelboats, and the things we heard last night… Being on the same continent, how can the disparity be so vast?”

Zhao Xiyan nodded, pushing the teacup in front of him a little closer.

“Indeed, does Yueyue have any plans?”

Qi Yue took the teacup and drained it in one gulp, a sharp light flashing through her charming, willow-leaf-shaped eyes.

“Let’s just wait and see for now; I always feel something unusual. Now that we’re far from Fengdu, who knows what we might discover.”

“Good,” Zhao Xiyan said, already standing up, extending his hand to her.

“It’s time for you to go back and rest.”

“Ah, haven’t we just gotten up not long ago? I was thinking…”

“No rest, no fishing this afternoon!”

Looking at Zhao Xiyan’s indifferent, unquestionable gaze, Qi Yue wordlessly twisted her lips.

Hmph, this man is always making a big fuss over nothing.

But in the end, she still reached out her hand to him.

By the hour of Shen, well-fed and fully relaxed, Qi Yue changed her own and Zhao Xiyan’s faces to look entirely different.

Song Gensheng and Hei Lie, who followed them out, naturally also disguised themselves.

It just so happened that Gemidu City was hosting its annual guard selection conference, so their identities were readily shifted to that of wealthy merchants looking to make selections.

When Qi Yue first heard about this, she was also puzzled, even specifically asking Qingzhu what was going on.

After all, guards are usually trained in-house to prevent the placement of spies or betrayal halfway through their service.

“This is a bit strange; doesn’t it sound like a dead soldier auction?”

Having roamed the Martial World for many years, Qingzhu was well-versed in such matters and explained the reasons behind it.

Turns out, this guard selection was merely a euphemism for a slave auction.

These guards were typically bought to undertake life-threatening tasks.

Which is to say, once they participated and were selected, they had to do whatever the buyers asked.

If these people retreated in the face of danger or betrayed their masters, not only could they not save their own lives, but their families would also be implicated.

Qi Yue found this interesting and couldn’t help but entertain some thoughts.

“This is quite fascinating, the people who come here are generally out of options, aren’t they? Otherwise, who would engage in this kind of trade?!”

“Master speaks the truth; indeed, that is the case,” Qingzhu added. “And because of this, many who come to participate in this selection have no chance for regrets.”

“My lord, what do you think?” Qi Yue turned to Zhao Xiyan, her raised eyes sparkling.

Zhao Xiyan slightly pursed his lips.

“Don’t feel like fishing anymore?”

Qi Yue lightly curled her lips.

“There’s plenty of time for fishing, I want to see this.”

“Alright, then let’s go,”

With Zhao Xiyan’s word, Qingzhu immediately went to make the arrangements.
