Reborn to love Lord Qiansui Chapter 84 part 1

Chapter 84 Just right, I’m also hungry… (1)

Zhao Zimu knew that although the northwest was a dangerous place, but Lin Qing couldn’t stay here for long.

Since there were people in the capital who wanted him to stay here, there must also be people who didn’t want him to stay here and would do everything possible to get him to go back.

The powers of the court were intertwined. Since princes could form their own fraction, why would people not stand on the highly influential Jiu Qiansui’s side?

When the water is too clear, it has no fish. Those at the court who didn’t want him to stay here, may have already exerted their influence. Presumably, the malpractice that had appeared in the absence of Jiu Qiansui, had been put on emperor Jinghui’s desk through the hands of some people and let emperor Jinghui feel the importance of Lin Qing. If the frontier won a few battles at this time and take back Li City and Sha City, then, emperor Jinghui would probably be very eager to summon Lin Qing back.

She also didn’t believe that Lin Qing didn’t have a backup plan. Just by Lin Qing letting Xiao Lianzi stay in Liang capital, one wouldn’t know what his intentions are. He also lay many chess pieces in the harem. Therefore, the move that Situ Yaohua moved to let him go to the northwest seemed dangerous, but in fact there was no danger.

Hence, as Zhao Zimu expected, as long as he passed a few months safely, emperor Jinghui would probably issue a decree to recall Lin Qing back to the capital.

But…

When she just mentioned it, Lin Qing’s reaction became so intense. She felt a bit happy and a bit funny.

She leaned her head on his should a bit tired and whispered, “I don’t have thoughts of wanting to leave you. I just want to give it a try. By staying at the northwest, I may gain the power to protect you. When the time comes, even if you can’t fight against Situ Yaohua, I can help you fight. Or if you fail, I can also protect you and let people not dare to touch you. So, I want to stay here, join the army and use my military prestige to build a strong castle for you; so that you can be worry-free the latter half of your life.”

The voice of the person behind him was soft and smothering. Like a sound of a drum, it lightly beat in his heart, making his heart sour and numb. Her investment was much more than he thought.

He stiffly said, “What if I don’t agree?”

“Lin Qing…”

She just called his name, but it made his nose sore. He took a deep breath and said, “To be honest, you really don’t have to be so good to me. You can have a better choice.”

He said this sentence very solemnly, but the person behind him laughed sullenly because of this sentence. She released the hand that had been holding him, straightened her body, looked at him and smiled, “You are right. I should choose someone better. Choosing you is tantamount to choosing a big trouble. It is like suffering a loss, moreover, this loss has to be suffered a whole lifetime. It is a too great of a loss. So, it is better that I find someone else.”

While she spoke, she got up to walk outside.

“You dare?! Stop!” Lin Qing said angrily. One hand slammed on the table. He looked at her fiercely like an animal whose tail had been trampled on by others.

Zhao Zimu touched her nose. She spread out her hand, looked at him with a smile that was not a smile and said, “See, do I still have a better choice?”

Lin Qing’s face turned red and white from anger. He gritted his teeth and said, “No!”

I gave you an opportunity. It was you that didn’t want it!

It was rare for Lin Qing to give a concession for once. He gave Zhao Zimu a chance to leave him, but before he could regret it, he had been stirred up by the person in front of him and retracted it. Also, it was by such a way that would let people get so irritated.

She walked back to his side and lifted his hand that had been slammed red. Without the slightest hesitation, she took off the finger armor on his hand and said softly, “Don’t wear it anymore. It will hurt your hand.”

He snorted once and wanted to take his hand back, but it was useless. So, he glared angrily at her again.

Zhao Zimu played with his fingers and said, “Give me some time. I will definitely be back.”

Her eyes were fixed on him and were full of determination.

Lin Qing lowered his head. Ripples fluctuated in his eyes. It took a long time before he said with difficulty, “How long…?”

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Zimu’s eyes. She pondered for a moment and said, “Five years!” She was also not certain. Hence, she chooses such a time that was neither too long nor too short.

The cold aura that had not been seen on Lin Qing for a long time, immediately made the air in the room cold. Zhao Zimu’s head turned numb. Then, she heard Lin Qing ask faintly, “How long?”

“Three, three years?”

“…”

“I will help you,” Lin Qing said. Looking at his serious eyes, Zhao Zimu pulled his hand and placed it down next to his own body. Watching the puzzlement that flashed in his eyes, she smiled and said, “I have already given in. Shouldn’t you compensate me after taking such a big advantage?”

“What do you want?” A trace of embarrassment flashed through Lin Qing’s eyes.

“You come by yourself.”

“You!” Looking at her smiling face, Lin Qing felt that smoke was about to come from his face. What was this person thinking in her head?!

In the end, he was unable to withstand her gaze full of expectation. After having thought for a long time, he nodded. When he nodded, Lin Qing felt that his mind was blank. After meeting her, Lin Qing felt that she was his trial. Furthermore, it was a trial that he couldn’t escape from.
