Chapter 105 Speechless (2)
The eyes of everyone turned to these two people. Even Chen Jing looked blankly at Ling Er kneeling in front of him. He didn’t expect that she was willing to beg for mercy for him. What was she thinking?
It didn’t matter that Chen Jing couldn’t guess it, but Chen Jin can!
Heavens, Chen Jin only felt that he was almost suffocating in anger. Lin Qing’s woman actually begged for mercy for his son in front of everyone. He felt it was more terrifying than catching lice on a tiger’s head.
Looking at Lin Qing secretly, he saw that Lin Qing’s gaze also turned to his side. Chen Jin only felt that his heart was beating very fast and he hurriedly shouted to the soldiers beside him, “Take him down. I will deal with him by the military rules!”
Ling Er hurriedly looked at Zhao Zimu with pleading eyes. Zhao Zimu glanced at Lin Qing and Lin Qing said, “Why the trouble, general? If it wasn’t because of me, your son would’ve also not done such a thing. If you really want to blame someone, then, I should be the one who should be blamed the most. Therefore, asking general to please forgive and not punish him.”
Chen Jin was stunned again that Lin Qing spoke up for Chen Jing. He looked at Lin Qing blankly as if he didn’t know him.
Anyone who encountered something like Chen Jin’s would definitely show the same expression.
His own woman was the red apricot tree that leaned over the garden wall and begged for mercy for another. Not only did he not kill the person who leaned over the garden wall, he also spoke out for the two of them. Chen Jin felt that it was practically a fantasy.

He also looked at Lin Qing with his mouth wide open and then looked once at Ling Er. He was sure that he didn’t see wrongly. If there was anyone here who was the most likely to pretend to be a man, then it would be this little fair face. Lin Qing got furious with him before because of her, which showed that Lin Qing obviously cared about her. But, why was he indifferent at her pleading for an outsider?
Could there be a conspiracy in this? Or was it that the line of thinking of eunuchs could not be estimated using common sense?
In any case, this was a good thing. Chen Jin’s behavior of just now was to protect Chen Jing. He quickly said to Lin Qing, “Qiansui is taking it too seriously. This child lacked disciple. I originally wanted to teach him a good lesson and let him remember to not do this again. However, since Qiansui spoke up for him, this old one will thank Qiansui in my son’s stead. In the future, this old one will definitely disciple him strictly and will not let him do such unrighteous things.”
Chen Jin’s words were beautifully spoken and with veiled meaning. Only Lin Qing understood and scolded the old guy in his heart. Afterwards, he ignored Chen Jin.
Zhao Zimu made such a great contribution this time and experienced such a big risk; moreover, Lin Qing was here. In any case, Chen Jin had to give Zhao Zimu a banquet to celebrate. Lin Qing didn’t refuse when he proposed. After he looked once at Zhao Zimu, he nodded and offered to reward these soldiers for Great Liang.
Chen Jin was stunned for a moment and then agreed confusedly. To be honest, he didn’t understand. Originally, his hidden meaning was to make amends with Lin Qing, but why was Lin Qing more enthusiastic than him.
Only Zhao Zimu looked at Lin Qing with a bit of helplessness. She silently followed behind him.
The banquet was very large. Also, with Lin Qing’s funding, the standard was naturally the best. The soldiers had wine and meat and had a lot of fun. Suddenly they felt that the man who had the reputation of being treacherous wasn’t so hopeless at all.
Lin Qing was sitting with Chen Jin and Situ Yuanxiao. Situ Yuanxiao had no choice. This celebration banquet was organized by Lin Qing for the soldiers of the entire northwest army. If he didn’t attend, he would be refuting the face of all the soldiers of the northwest army. He was very fond of these soldiers and didn’t want to do so. So, he sat with them with a scowl.
Although, the banquet was very large, it was really nothing for Lin Qing who was so poor that he only had power and money left.
Lin Qing kept toasting with Chen Jin and said some compliments which made Chen Jin sweat profusely. Lin Qing also didn’t take the provocation that Situ Yuanxiao showed towards him.
In the end, Zhao Zimu, the protagonist had been ignored, stood up and after she apologized to Chen Jin and Situ Yuanxiao, she supported Lin Qing who was already drunk back to their place.
After putting Lin Qing inside the room, she personally went to make soup for a hangover for Lin Qing. Yue Wu suddenly came down from roof beam with a worried face and said to Zhao Zimu, “Madam, is Qiansui okay?”
Zhao Zimu poured the boiled soup into a bowl. The sweet and sour taste of jujube came over to her face. In the steam, Zhao Zimu said, “It’s nothing. Also, if you dare to appear like this again, I will let you and Yue Yi and the others practice again.”
With a swish, Yue Wu went back. His movements were faster than the tiger who was adept at rock climbing.
Pushing open the door, Zhao Zimu walked in with a hot bowl of soup. She saw Lin Qing sitting there quietly. The usual somewhat gloomy face was like a washed black pearl now. He looked serenely and with moist eyes at her.
The two looked at each other without a word. After a long time, Lin Qing said to her, “Won’t you come over?”
The depressive mood seemed to condense the whole room and quietly enveloped the two of them.
