Chapter 2021: Chapter 2021: Left to Their Own Devices
"General Gu, why are you targeting the Gong Family?" Yun Xiu frowned at Gu Qingheng, "Do you know..."
"Why am I targeting them? Haven’t you investigated it?" Gu Qingheng sneered, "Figure it out before you come asking. If you can’t understand, then tell Qi Jingyun. I think he will understand."
Yun Xiu glared at Gu Qingheng.
"Also, before you figure it out, you’d better not come and see my wife again." Gu Qingheng’s face was grim, "She has a soft heart, but I absolutely do not allow those she helps to turn around and plot against her."
Yun Xiu let out a breath and finally nodded, "Alright." Then he turned and left. He needed to quickly convey the news to his master to let him make a decision. He had found out that the matter at the vegetarian restaurant was the handiwork of the Gong Family. Originally, he thought Yang Ruxin had resolved it on the spot, even boosting her restaurant’s business, so the matter had passed, and the Gong Family had learned their lesson. But he didn’t expect the real lesson was yet to come.
This incident would probably deal a severe blow to the Gong Family’s vitality.
Southern Front.
Clad in silver armor, Qi Jingyun rode back to the camp, dismounted, and strode into the main tent. There had been three confrontations with Nanzhao, and they had firmly gained the upper hand. He estimated that the Medicinal Soldiers trained by the Sun Cult would soon make their appearance, and the real battle was about to begin.
Although he knew the opponent might be formidable, he still felt excited. He enjoyed strong adversaries.
"Prince." Yun Zhan hurried in, cupped his fist, "A letter from Yun Xiu."
Qi Jingyun quickly reached out to receive it. As he read, his expression darkened, and finally, he suddenly raised his hand and struck the center elm table in the tent, splitting it in half.
"Truly more ruinous than useful." Qi Jingyun took a quick breath, then closed his eyes. It was a while before he reopened them, the anger in his eyes had subsided, and he glanced at Yun Zhan, "Send orders back, tell Yun Xiu not to meddle in the affairs of the Gong Family, let them fend for themselves."
"But Prince..."
"No buts." Qi Jingyun raised his hand to stop Yun Zhan from speaking, "I understand what you’re implying. You think that if I don’t help the Gong Family, it will dishearten others who rely on me, right?"
Yun Zhan lowered his eyes, that was precisely his concern.
"The Gong Family has long been an eyesore to many." Qi Jingyun sneered slightly, "The Gong Family has been swelling for many years and has long forgotten who they are. If it weren’t for their loyalty, I would have dealt with them personally long ago... If they continue to mess around like this, sooner or later, I will be ruined by them."
Yun Zhan sighed.
"Go, do as I say." Qi Jingyun waved his hand, "Also, send a message to the palace, ask my dear mother, can my words really... be ignored?" He had advised several times not to go against Yang Ruxin, why wouldn’t she listen?
Yun Zhan nodded and turned to deliver the message.
Although Xiao Jin was under house arrest, she had been in the palace for many years, so she quickly learned the cause and effect of the situation. More than being angry, she was worried—worried about the Gong Family’s fate and more worried about her son’s rebuke.
Everything she did was for her son, yet now...
If she could leave, she really wanted to kick Gong Zhi twice. How could he be so foolish?
