Chapter 1675 Phoenix Girl 38
"Your Highness, Fencheng doesn't look like it's been captured at all. The people are not panicking or afraid, as if... as if they are the people of Fenglin Country..." Zhao Yu was very surprised. He didn't even hear the people mention anything bad about Fenglin Country in the teahouse.
Shangguan Xu asked in return, "When we arrived, didn't you see that many people in Tianli Country couldn't afford to eat, were destitute, and some even sold their children?"
Zhao Yu was silent. The people of Fencheng were oppressed and exploited even more severely, but at the moment, no one had seen children being sold. This showed that the people of Fencheng were guaranteed food and clothing. If they were full, who would sell their children?
Shangguan Xu heard from the people that a large amount of silver was seized from the homes of some officials, and that it was all the hard-earned money of the common people!
Anyone who had exploited and harmed the people was arrested and beheaded in public. Ling Heng gained support because of this and was recognized by the people.
I even heard some people say that Fenglin Kingdom should quickly attack Tianli Kingdom so that their families in Tianli Kingdom can be reunited and they can also enjoy the feeling of having a full meal.
Apart from Ling Heng, the one who heard it the most was Marquis Rong.
Marquis Rong provided them with food and clothing, and was like their second parent.
Marquis Rongguo created high-yield grain and promoted it internally from both ends. The people of Fencheng were blessed to grow high-yield grain and achieve self-sufficiency.
How could this Marquis of Rong be so powerful?
Shangguan Xu became more and more curious about the Marquis of Rongguo and wanted to get to know him.
Luoqiao Yin was on his way to Fencheng, specially sending his two apprentices to make achievements.
"When the time comes, you must obey General Ling's orders." Luo Qiaoyin instructed.
"Master, we understand." The two answered in unison.
Shangguan Xu stayed for a few days and was about to say goodbye to Ling Heng when he ran into Luo Qiao Yin who was getting off the carriage.
"Your Highness, isn't that Miss Luo?" Zhao Yu asked quickly.
When Shangguan Xu looked up, he saw the familiar face of Luo Qiaoyin.
Luo Qiaoyin raised his eyes and saw Shangguan Xu.
Ling Heng then explained Shangguan Xu's purpose of coming.
Luo Qiaoyin smiled and said, "In that case, I will escort them back to Kyoto."
Ling Heng nodded, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Luo Qiaoyin knew that he wanted to ask how his sister was doing recently, so he handed him the letter.
Ling Heng's ears turned red and she coughed, "Come in and talk."
Shangguan Xu was timid and afraid that Luo Qiaoyin would become distant from him, so he pretended not to know him.
"Do you know each other?" Ling Heng noticed the subtle atmosphere between the two and asked.
"Oh, this is my fiancé from Tianli Country..." Luo Qiaoyin stated their identities without hiding anything. The two disciples widened their eyes, and Ling Heng was very surprised.
Facing three pairs of eyes staring at him, Shangguan Xu coughed strategically: "Indeed..."
Seeing him admit it, the expressions of the three people changed quickly, and they were all full of hostility.
"Fiancé? My master doesn't have such an incompetent and useless fiancé!" Ren Weiyi knew what her master had experienced and did not hide her dislike for Shangguan Xu.
Qi Qingjin also had a look of disgust on his face, "That's right, someone like you is not worthy of being my master's fiancé!"
"The men who are worthy of my master are all outstanding people, who are you?" Ren Weiyi knew that he already had three "master's wives" and accepted them well, but he looked down on Shangguan Xu at all.
"People from Tianli Country are the enemy." Qi Qingjin said coldly.
Ling Heng's smile faded. It was indeed as the two said, Shangguan Xu was really unworthy.
Shangguan Xu ignored them and just stared at Luo Qiaoyin.
"Why are you looking at me? Now that I'm a Fenglin citizen, the engagement is naturally invalid." Luo Qiaoyin's expression was indifferent, and his cold and ruthless attitude hurt Shangguan Xu very much.
He argued: "I am not from Tianli Country, my mother is the princess of Donglin Country..."
Shangguan Xu slowly recounted his life story, feeling aggrieved. "You're the only one I've ever loved. It doesn't matter where we're from. I just want to grow old with you..."
After hearing this, the two disciples' hostility subsided a lot. Ren Weiyi gloated and said, "I guess not. There are too many masters who want to spend their lives with my master..."
In short, you're a nobody.
Shangguan Xu was furious. Can't these two little brats just shut up?
He was always hurt by it, and it made him so angry that his liver ached.
The group sat down to eat. Shangguan Xu finally saw Luo Qiaoyin and took the seat next to her. On the right was Qi Qingjin. Ren Weiyi was very angry. The pretty boy was quite fast. She wanted to sit next to her master.
The way he skillfully served food to Luo Qiao Yin made it seem as if they were husband and wife. Before anything happened, their movements were very familiar and natural.
Luo Qiaoyin calmly accepted Shangguan Xu's service. Her profile was always stared at by Shangguan Xu, who never took his gaze away from her.
"Eat well." She said, and Shangguan Xu dared not disobey.
After dinner, Shangguan Xu followed Luo Qiaoyin wherever he went like a little puppy.
Ren Weiyi said he was shameless and stubborn, but she couldn't drive him away.
At night, Shangguan Xu came to visit again.
"Qiao Yin..." dressed up carefully, hoping to use her beauty to ease the strangeness between the two.
"I came here just to see you..." He had always liked Luo Qiaoyin, and he had liked her since they were no longer an engaged couple.
"So it was a life-saving favor, but a life-saving favor is not love. Don't confuse the two. Maybe you are just grateful to me and have a good impression of me." Speaking of the life-saving favor, Luo Qiaoyin flipped through the memories in his mind, and there were indeed some fragmentary fragments.
Perhaps it's because the memory is too old and I suffered so much that I don't want to recall that past.
Shangguan Xu shook his head: "I can tell the difference between the two."
He had just returned to Tianli Country when he knew that Luo Qiao Yin was in trouble. When he went to look for clues, Luo Qiao Yin seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and was no longer in Tianli Country.
"I thought you..." Shangguan Xu thought she was dead.
"Now that we've met, let's go back to where we should go." Luo Qiaoyin knew that he wanted to continue the engagement with her, but she was not the same person she used to be. Even if he wanted to marry, she should be the one to marry.
Besides, she doesn't plan to get married, so it's fine to live like this without being bound by any constraints.
Shangguan Xu approached her, "You actually chased me away?"
Luo Qiaoyin saw the grievance and hurt in his eyes and tried to push him away and keep his distance.
He grabbed my wrist and said, "I already have someone to sleep with..."
"Then you got married?" Shangguan Xu seized the loophole. She was talking about the person next to her, not getting married.
Luo Qiaoyin's silence gave him confidence, "Then I can't be your bedmate?"
"Whatever they have, I have too!" Shangguan Xu is naturally no worse than them.
He tentatively moved closer to her. When he came, he had no intention of going back.
He took off his clothes as soon as he disagreed with her. Luo Qiaoyin tried to stop him: "What are you doing?"
"That's not good?"
"I mean, the weather is so cold, you might catch a cold if you take off your clothes... well—"
Just as she pulled his clothes tighter, Shangguan Xu came straight up and kissed her, holding her hand and pressing it on his chest.
