Qin Dynasty: Starting with clinging to Zhao Ji's thigh

Chapter 141: Is the bento box protection money?

"Keep those lies to young girls, Mr. Changxin. I'm not that easy to fool."

Zi Nu's eyes and brows held a faint smile.

Ying Jing's words were somewhat rambling, but they still pleased her.

No matter how capable she is, she's still a woman, and she still likes to hear compliments, especially when those compliments come from Ying Jing's mouth.

Of course, that's all.

Zi Nu is no longer a young girl like Nong Yu. Even if she is truly moved, reason will prevail over emotion.

"Older women are just hard to please!"

Ying Jing shrugged. Zi Nu had experienced and seen too much. Although she still looked young, her heart was already weathered.

Those methods used to deal with young girls wouldn't be very effective against Zi Nu.

However, Lord Changxin did not seem to care much about this.

Anyway, there's still Nongyu!

If you can't conquer the difficult Zi Nu, then go and gain some experience from the easier Nong Yu before coming back.

Nongyu had no complaints about Ying Jing flirting with Zi Nu in front of her.

If Zi Nu can really be won over by Chang Xin Jun, then they won't have to be separated.

After all, she was raised by Zi Nu.

She calls me "older sister," but emotionally, we're practically like mother and daughter.

"I have already sent someone to invite your aunt. If nothing unexpected happens, she should arrive in no more than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea."

Ying Jing noticed Nongyu's unusual expression, but didn't think much of it, assuming she was just anxious to see her family.

Ying Jing and his companions were not kept waiting for long, as Madam Hu rushed to the inn as soon as she received the invitation.

Ying Jing had already placed both Fire Rain Agates on the table above the living room.

At this moment, Nongyu and Madam Hu only had eyes for each other.

Ying Jing didn't introduce them to each other.

"Why don't we go out first and leave this place to them?"

Ying Jing made the suggestion with a faint smile.

At a time like this, any introduction would be superfluous.

All you need to do is give them their own time and space, and leave the rest to them.

Zi Nu and Yan Ling Ji had no objection to Ying Jing's suggestion and came to the courtyard of the post station together.

The flowers are still in full bloom, and a fragrant aroma wafts through the air with the gentle breeze.

Ying Jing, accompanied by the two beauties, headed straight for the pavilion in the courtyard.

Li Kai had been waiting for a long time.

His appearance seemed older, with a heavier sense of weariness, and many more wrinkles on his face.

"You've seen it all?"

Ying Jing spoke calmly.

The spot he had prepared for Li Kai was at the main entrance, so he could see Nongyu and Madam Hu clearly when they entered the inn.

At this moment, Li Kai's voice sounded somewhat gratified: "I've seen them all."

"I am content to see that they are all doing well."

Liu Yi and Wujiu have been dealt with, and all the revenge that could be taken has been taken.

He had neither the ability nor the hope of seeking revenge against South Korea; his only remaining wish was to see Nongyu one more time.

Seeing what she looks like now that she's grown up, knowing that she's doing well, that's enough.

As for recognizing each other, there's no need for that anymore.

The news that Liu Yi reported back then was that he had deserted in the face of battle, and King Han An had already acknowledged this statement.

Once her identity is exposed, it will only bring danger to Nongyu as well.

He was a man who should have died long ago; why disturb her peaceful life any longer?

"Li Kai is an unlucky person, so let me bury this misfortune alone."

"I will return to Baiyue."

Li Kai spoke again, this time with a somewhat desolate tone.

"Then go. I will have Luo Wang escort you. If you can live, we may meet again in the future."

Ying Jing remained calm and made no attempt to persuade him to stay.

Even if Li Kai wants to stay in South Korea, he can protect him.

However, there is no need for that.

He could tell that the man in front of him had lost his will to live and had been sustained by revenge all these years.

If it weren't for Nongyu's existence giving him some hope, he might have already disappeared from this world.

"And thank you very much, Boss Zi Nu, for taking care of Nong Yu."

Li Kai looked at Zi Nu and performed a deep bow with utmost respect.

Zi Nu was slightly stunned, and for a moment she was unable to react.

Before Zi Nu could ask any questions, Li Kai had already turned and left.

"Lord Changxin, who was that just now?"

Watching Li Kai's retreating figure, Zi Nu was filled with suspicion.

Ying Jing shook his head slightly: "You are Nongyu's relative, so you can accept this courtesy."

Zi Nu seemed to realize something, but still asked, "He's leaving already? Won't he see Nong Yu?"

Ying Jing did not reply, but Yan Lingji whispered softly, "Perhaps it's better not to see it. One look is enough."

Zi Nu glanced at the two of them, somewhat puzzled, wondering what kind of riddle they were speaking of.

Ying Jing didn't intend to explain, but suddenly frowned and whispered, "Miss Zi Nu, if one day Xin Zheng is captured by the army, what will you do?"

Zi Nu did not press Li Kai about the matter.

She simply followed Ying Jing's lead and let out a helpless sigh.

"Only the Qin cavalry could conquer Xinzheng. With the tide turning against each other, Zi Nu was just a weak woman, so she could only move Zi Lan Xuan to another place."

"I only hope that when the time comes, Lord Changxin will remember our past relationship and show mercy..."

Ying Jing raised an eyebrow slightly. Didn't Zi Nu also see the situation very clearly?

"If Miss Zi Nu is willing, Zi Lan Xuan can appear on Qin territory at any time."

Zi Nu was slightly taken aback, and then her heart fluttered.

Many people can actually see the current situation in South Korea.

However, even if they can see the truth, many people still can't help but feel hopeful before the results are in.

Ji Wuye was like this, Han Fei was like this, and Zi Nu was also like this.

However, Ji Wuye was thinking of following Changxin Jun's path, leaving himself a way out.

Han Fei, however, would not do that; he would go down a path to the bitter end.

Zi Nu had never thought about leaving herself any way out; developing Zi Lan Xuan in Xinzheng had already exhausted all her energy.

However, she was lucky enough to meet Ying Jing.

She can now make some preparations in advance and leave herself a way out.

For Zi Nu, whether or not Korea is destroyed is actually not that important.

But she had to protect Zilanxuan.

"If that day ever comes..."

She gave Ying Jing a deep look, her purplish eyes sparkling with a strange light.

Zi Nu unconsciously reached out and gently touched the jade bracelet on her wrist. She then parted her red lips and continued to speak.

"When Zilanxuan enters Qin, Lord Changxin's wishes will also be fulfilled."

Seeking protection from Lord Changxin should come at a price.

Anyway, she didn't dislike Changxin-jun.

Well... shall we consider this protection money?

Wei Zhuang also collects protection money everywhere!
