Liu Qi once again grabbed the hand trying to pull down his underclothes, his tone growing sharper with anger. "Only my leg is injured. My hands still work. I don’t need you serving me." Yun Shiqing gave a light smile. "Don’t be angry, my lord. Your young master is watching. If we’re putting on a show, we should play our parts thoroughly, or he might get suspicious." Liu Qi paused to sense the surroundings and indeed found someone watching. Suppressing his anger, he said calmly, "I don’t need to relieve myself. Let go." Yun Shiqing really did release him but continued to lightly support him. "Earlier, you said you didn’t want the King of Gongbu’s selfish ambition to damage diplomatic ties between our nations. You also asked Ulusuntu for a shortcut to Nazang. Are you planning to go to Zongge City to report to Mu Nie Zampu?" Liu Qi nodded. Yun Shiqing frowned and scolded in a low voice, "Are you mad? Zongge City is all the way in Qingha...

The chaotic clouds hung low at dusk, snow whirling fiercely in the swirling wind. After nightfall, the gales gradually calmed, and fresh snow began to fall gently. The steed galloped north for more than ten miles before entering a mountain pass, then turned onto a narrow, overgrown path in the dark. About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea later, a household finally came into view. A dim yellow light flickered from inside, warm and sudden. But the house was extremely dilapidated, as if it hadn’t seen human presence in a long time. Hearing the sound of hooves, someone opened the wooden door of the thatched house. Liu Feng stepped out quickly. "Young Master!" Liu Qi sat sideways on horseback, his expression somewhat displeased. His hands were tightly bound with iron chains, impossible to break free. Yun Shiqing leapt down from the horse, tore off the disguise from his face, and turned to see Liu Feng already helping his master dismount. He didn’t interfere and inst...

 The lamp cast flickering shadows, spring chill biting, as the old wooden window creaked under the night wind. The earthen hut was sparsely furnished, with peeling walls and sieve-like window panes. The piercing cold swept into the room in waves, causing the lamp flame to sway erratically. Yun Shiqing held command over half of Great Ye's military power. Should he escape, the consequences would be unimaginable. Mu Qi dared not be negligent and personally led his men to pursue him. Ulusuntu, wholly focused on Liu Qi’s wound, did not follow. Instead, he ordered the preparation of charcoal, yellow wine, a small knife, and clean gauze before beginning to treat Liu Qi’s injury. Although the arrowhead lacked barbs, pulling it out by force would only worsen the wound. Ulusuntu intended to use the yellow wine to carefully clean the blood around the injury, but Liu Qi suddenly seized his wrist. Startled, he looked up. Liu Qi said, “Don’t use wine. Go prepare some saline.” Ulusuntu’s ...

The tung oil torches crackled and burned, casting their flickering glow across the wild forest now filled with archers. Every arrow was aimed squarely at the unexpected intruders, their cold tips flashing ominously. Mu Qi’s son, Ulusuntu, gripped his saber, his eyes appearing vacant and lifeless. Mu Qi looked at him with bitter disappointment, like iron that refused to be forged, and snapped furiously, “Useless brat! Listen up, all of you. traitors have brought chaos to our borders. As the Transport Commissioner of Chengdu, it is my duty to protect the people’s peace. Archers, prepare your shots and eliminate these criminals!” The surrounding archers obeyed at once, drawing their bows in perfect unison. Seeing this, Ulusuntu immediately jumped off his horse and stepped in front of Liu Qi. “Stop! Stop! Father, you can’t kill him!” Mu Qi flew into a rage and shouted at the nearby guards, “You bunch of idiots! What are you standing there for? Take the young master away!” “Who dare...

Shen Yuncong really did show up with two boxes of restorative ointments. When he saw Liu Qi, he immediately became flustered. “Boss Si, I… I… I came today to…” Liu Qi still remembered Shen Yuncong forcing himself on him, so his manner was cold. “It was I who was discourteous today, and brushed off Young Master Shen’s good intentions.” Shen Yuncong shook his head at once. “No no no, it was my fault!” He paused slightly, then asked carefully, “Are you feeling any better?” Liu Qi answered politely. His tone was no longer warm but distant. “It’s nothing serious now. Thank you, Young Master Shen, for your concern.” Just then, Yun Shiqing strolled into the sitting room. Shen Yuncong was stunned. “Boss Qin? What are you doing here?” Yun Shiqing smiled warmly. “A Heng wasn’t feeling well. I came to check on him.” Shen Yuncong said, “But I thought you two…” “You mean we’re not on good terms?” Yun Shiqing glanced at Liu Qi, his tone full of brotherly affection. “A Heng and I may not get ...
