Reborn to love Lord Qiansui Chapter 104 part 2

Chapter 104 All is wrong (2)

Zhao Zimu looked once at him and said, “Little sister.”

Oh, it turned out to be master aunt. Ye Yiqiu came to the realization and hurriedly went to pay his respect to Ling Er.

Seeing Ye Yiqiu suddenly bow sincerely at her and called her master aunt, Ling Er was so frightened that she almost fell from the horse.

What sect did she enter? When had she become someone else’s master aunt? The foul wind and bloody rain of the Jianghu was terrible. She didn’t want to get involved inexplicably.

• Jianghu: a society operating independently from the mainstream society

She looked once at Zhao Zimu. Zhao Zimu said indifferently, “He calls me master. You are my little sister. If you are not master aunt, then what are you? Also, did your fever get better? If you are still not well, I will go pick some herbs for you…”

“No need, no need. I’m fine. I’m definitely fine. No need to trouble you anymore. I don’t have a fever at all now! So, you don’t have to pick herbs anymore.”

Ling Er’s eyes were very widened because of being scared. At once, she expressed that she had recovered completely and didn’t need to be treated anymore. The moment she thought about the herbs that Zhao Zimu picked for her, Ling Er felt that her mouth was so bitter that a Chinese goldthread could come out of it.

Because of Ling Er’s recklessness, Zhao Zimu decided to teach her a lesson. Ling Er had a fever, so, she found the most bitter and most strange tasting herbs for her.

Zhao Zimu had roamed the Jianghu for many years and had encountered many things. So, she also knew a little about the herbs for common ailments.

Many people may have not drunken the concoction made from fresh herbs and didn’t understand what it tasted like; sour, bitter, astringent and a smell that would even scare away mosquitoes and flies.

Only after one sip, Ling Er had secretly vowed that she would never drink it again because the taste could really stay for a whole day in her memory.

However, she couldn’t not drink it because Zhao Zimu was at her side and said indifferently, “It’s fine if you don’t drink it. I will find another way. I heard that snake galls have a miraculous effect on clearing away heat and detoxification. I don’t mind grabbing a few for you.”

At that time, Ling Er looked at Zhao Zimu’s smile that was not yet a smile and shivered over her whole body. She quickly grabbed the bowl and drank all the concoction in it and proved to Zhao Zimu that she actually thought that the concoction was very good. However, her face was distorted like a failed product that almost split into pieces of the old man selling sugar dolls on the streets.

Chen Jing had already sent people back to pass the news. At this time, Lin Qing, Situ Yuanxiao and even Chen Jin and a large number of people were waiting on the outskirts of the grassland.

Situ Yuanxiao glanced once at it and said, “Lin Qing, what do you think of the unauthorized actions of your people? Ignored the rules and discipline of the army and acted alone by himself without permission. What if he was caught by the Xiongnu? My Great Liang’s army provision isn’t used for these reckless people who only know how to ruin things.”

Because of the things that had happened these days, Situ Yuanxiao’s tone was a bit aggressive. His reasons for going against Lin Qing also became unreasonable.

Lin Qing had his head lowered and fiddled with his fingers without speaking as if he was doing something very interesting. After a long time, Lin Qing put his hand on the chair that he let someone bring. He casually said to Situ Yuanxiao, “Your Highness the fifth prince, do you think the view of this grassland is beautiful?”

“What does the beauty of the scenery have to do with me? I only need you to answer my questions!” Situ Yuanxiao said to Lin Qing.

Lin Qing laughed once and said, “Then, what does what my people do have to do with you? Doesn’t Your Highness think that you are worrying too much?”

“Humph!” Situ Yuanxiao glared once at Lin Qing. Lin Qing didn’t care and said, “Your Highness, don’t think about acting against this subject. If you really acted, then this kind of fight would be considered a personal fight. This subject didn’t commit any crime. I believe that you are also unwilling to see such a thing to reach His Majesty’s ear.”

Situ Yuanxiao’s expression stagnated for a moment. Lin Qing spoke again, “Moreover, you can’t beat my people.”

As soon as these words fell, Yue Yi’s group straightened their bodies and had a serious expression. At the same time, they were waiting for the order of Lord Qiansui at any moment.

Situ Yuanxiao said angrily, “Lin Qing, don’t be too arrogant. One day, I will get rid of you!”

“I will not discuss whether I am arrogant or not. I will only ask you, what bad things have I done ever since I came to the northwest? Have I interfered with the battle against the enemy? Have I targeted any innocent general?”

Lin Qing casted Situ Yuanxiao a glance and said, “I haven’t, right?”

Situ Yuanxiao’s suffocated face was a bit red. There was indeed none, but he would not admit that.

“Your Highness, not only have my people not been killed by the Xiongnu, they broke into the court of the Xiongnu and rescued me. Not only did they not commit any crimes, they did a meritorious service. Now, our people have come out of the grassland without incident, doesn’t this just show how capable they are? I ask you, why do you still want to punish them?”

Just because they are your people. Therefore, no matter what they do, it isn’t right!

Situ Yuanxiao though that. At the same time, he also felt that he was a bit unreasonable. However, Lin Qing is not a good person. His subordinates will also not be good things. Situ Yuanxiao said to himself in his heart.

This time, Lin Qing’s people caused a big uproar at the Xiongnu court. Not only did they cause the Xiongnu to suffer heavy losses, they had also rescued Lin Qing. Therefore, when considering the meritorious service, Lin Qing could definitely stand tall in the army this time.

And their soldiers only regained their lost ground. How could such a performance be compared to Lin Qing’s soldiers who were so outstanding?

Lin Qing was a treacherous official. How could a treacherous official do the country a meritorious service.

Situ Yuanxiao was unconvinced. How could a person like Lin Qing with an evil heart be compared to them?!
