AWB Chapter 511
Chapter 511
"Xiao An, you don't even feel sorry for me. I'm going to hook up with someone."
"Ahem... General Pei."
Chu Ziyu suddenly looked up and smiled at him. The blood on his lips was not wiped off, which made his face look even paler. However, his eyes with moles at the end of his eyes were clear, like black jade washed by snow water.
Pei Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously wanted to help him: "Mr. Chu, your hand——"
"Go back."
Lin Ci'an suddenly placed the teacup heavily on the table.
Pei Zheng froze, but saw Chu Ziyu had already stood up on his own, with his wide sleeves hanging down to cover all the scars, and bowed respectfully: "I will take my leave."
As he turned around, he staggered and a piece of broken porcelain fell out of his sleeve and hit the blue brick floor with a clang.
——I didn’t pick it up cleanly on purpose.
Pei Zheng watched Chu Ziyu stagger away, and the eighty chapters of "the counselor was wronged and humiliated" flashed through his mind. He couldn't help but clasped his fists and said, "My Lord! Mr. Chu's body..."
"Do you care about him a lot?" Lin Ci'an stroked the red pen with a smile.
Pei Zheng felt a chill on his back, but he said honestly: "Sir, you are very talented. The farming strategy you proposed last month saved 30,000 soldiers at the border! Even if...even if I made any mistakes, I beg the Marquis to look at it..."
Lin Ci'an paused, and the red pen left a semicircular red mark on the secret letter. He suddenly chuckled, put the red pen on the pen holder, and slowly gathered his sleeves.
"I have made the decision"
When he raised his eyes, there seemed to be cold stars floating in his eyes.
"I have overstepped the bounds. Please punish me, my Lord."
Pei Zheng choked up in his throat and subconsciously touched the back of his neck - it seemed that there was still some residual force from the beating Xie Xiaofeng gave him last time.
The man always liked to hit him lightly with his scabbard and said with a straight face: "You are so reckless."
"You've embarrassed me again..." He muttered to himself, his fingertips unconsciously twisting the tassel of the jade pendant at his waist.
This jade pendant was a prize won by Xie Xiaofeng during the winter hunting last year, and he immediately tied it to his belt. At that time, the man only said, "Wear it to ward off evil spirits," but his ears turned red, probably because of the cold wind.
Xie Xiaofeng at the other end of the training ground suddenly sneezed and the spear in his hand almost fell out of his hand.
The recruits held back their laughter and dared not make a sound, for everyone knew that their coach Xie attached great importance to manners.
He rubbed the tip of his nose and looked in the direction of the Marquis' Mansion, his fingertips unconsciously touching the wolf fang hanging around his neck - it was the one Pei Zheng gave him on his birthday last year.
"Practice fifty more sets." He gave the order in a cold voice, but turned around and secretly touched the medicine in his arms - he had prepared it this morning when he heard that Pei Zheng was going to see the Marquis.
The wind blew up his carefully tied sleeves and blew the word "fool" on the tip of his tongue away into the dust of the training ground.
"You will receive ten lashes later. It is a small punishment but a big warning. Get up. What is the secret letter about?"
"Yes……"
Lin Ci'an in the room listened to Pei Zheng's report but said nothing. The medicine bottle taken out from the medicine cabinet was tightly grasped in his hand and hidden under his wide sleeves.
Chu Ziyu was listening to the noise inside the house in the corridor, and slowly licked the cinnabar off his fingertips.
There is nothing special about the cinnabar that Xiliang presented to the Marquis as a tribute.
"6872, General Pei is quite cute, isn't he?" He chuckled in his mind, "He will definitely secretly send me some medicine tomorrow."
The system looked at the interface where Pei Zheng's favorability soared, and hesitated to speak: "...Boss, the Marquis's black value has jumped to 130."
Recalling what he had just seen, Chu Ziyu said, "Look at his hand that just grasped the medicine bottle. The veins are bulging."
System 6872 looked at the blackening value that had soared to 130 and was about to cry: "Boss, he might want to use that bottle to smash you to death..."
Chu Ziyu looked at the snow in the yard and suddenly dipped his hand into the icy water.
He coughed and laughed, "Death... is a good idea."
