Chapter 63: Yuan Li And I Together!
“It’s too heavy, get down.”
Qin Wanwan pouted, not only not getting down but even more ‘arrogantly and domineeringly’ leaning on him.
“Daddy is lying, I’m just this little bit, not heavy at all.”
Shang Wuyang stood up and stretched. He looked even better after a good sleep.
Qin Wanwan rolled off him, unbothered, her big eyes staring at him pleadingly.
“Daddy, how do I look?”
Shang Wuyang pinched her cheek: “I already told you, men can’t say ‘good-looking’.”
Qin Wanwan mumbled, “Then what should I say?”
Shang Wuyang had the butler and maids come in, dressed him, and put on his mask.
Today’s Qin Wanwan was different from yesterday.
Today she wore a flowing pink little dress and had peach blossom-shaped jewelry in her hair.
Her bangs were also tied up, revealing her fair forehead.
A peach blossom hair ornament was drawn on her forehead.
The maid smiled broadly: “Miss is a little peach fairy today!”
Qin Wanwan held her little face and admired herself in the bronze mirror, which reflected clearly.
“Wanwan looks beautiful!”
The narcissistic child was so cute it softened one’s heart.
The maid was so charmed she wanted to hug and snuggle her, but this was the City Lord’s daughter.
One must not offend! One must not offend!
“These are the clothes the City Lord picked out for you.”
Qin Wanwan became even happier and immediately ran to find her daddy.
“Daddy, Daddy, Daddy…”
The repeated calling of “Daddy” made one person sound as lively as several people.
Shang Wuyang looked at Qin Wanwan, dressed as a little peach today, and nodded with satisfaction.
“Not bad.”
Qin Wanwan twirled around directly in front of him.
“Daddy picked these clothes, Wanwan is beautiful.”
Shang Wuyang chuckled softly: “You’re quite narcissistic.”
Qin Wanwan giggled, very proactively taking his hand and walking out.
Shang Wuyang: “I have some matters to attend to today, go play by yourself.”
Qin Wanwan was very well-behaved and didn’t pester her daddy to come along.
She just held his hand, both small hands warming his with her breath.
“Daddy, are you cold?”
“I’m alright.”
The butler watched this scene with great satisfaction.
He turned and saw the group of rough border soldiers approaching with killing intent in their eyes.
Therefore, even if it cost him his old life, Miss Wanwan must stay in the City Lord’s Mansion!
Border soldiers:
What is this old man going crazy about again so early in the morning?
Seeing Shang Wuyang leave, and Wanwan not following, their expressions immediately changed.
(⊙?⊙)
Since Shang Wuyang wasn’t here, they would not be polite.
Give it here!
Colonel Lin lunged forward and scooped Qin Wanwan up.
“Let’s go, Wanwan, we’re going out to play!”
Holding her, they bolted outside.
Yin Yuanli and the guard army, etc.: 『○?｀Д′?○』
Running so fast, they really didn’t consider their feelings at all!
Wang Dequan stomped his feet: “What are you all standing around for, hurry up and carry His Highness and follow!”
Yin Yuanli pursed his little lips, wanting to say he could walk himself.
But his legs were short, and he couldn’t keep up with that group at all.
“Your Highness, please forgive us.”
The captain of the guard army squatted down, apologized, and then scooped up Yin Yuanli and ran.
Yin Yuanli: …
The butler stomped his feet angrily: “Are you all blind? Useless people with no common sense! Even if my old bones are slow, you should be able to move quickly? Hurry up and get her back!”
The guards at the City Lord’s Mansion hurriedly followed.
Thus, the guards at the City Lord’s Mansion watched the guard army, who had snatched Qin Wanwan, run past them like a gust of wind.
Then came the guard army of Tianqi.
“Wait, pant, pant… wait for me…”
Wang Dequan was, after all, an eunuch. He didn’t exercise much during his time with the Crown Prince in the palace, and he was also a bit overweight.
Running to this point, his panting was like a bellows, coming in bursts.
People from Shangyang City had already passed him.
“Ouch, how can I keep up!”
The butler from Shangyang City ran over with a contemptuous look: “With your physique, you should exercise more.”
He was not as good as his own old bones.
Qin Wanwan laughed heartily, oblivious, and found it quite fun.
The streets of Shangyang City were very lively, and Qin Wanwan patted Colonel Lin’s shoulder.
“Uncle Lin, you should get down, Wanwan wants to get down and wander by herself.”
Alright, it seems I can’t take this little ancestor back in one go.
General, when are you coming!
“Candied hawthorn, Wanwan wants candied hawthorn.”
“Brother Yuanli, you’re here, do you want some?”
Yin Yuanli shook his head: “No.”
“Go buy your own things to eat, I’m going over there.”
He was more interested in the bookshop in Shangyang City.
He wondered if there were any books here he hadn’t read.
Qin Wanwan glanced in the direction he pointed and also bounced along.
“I’ll go with Brother Yuanli.”
Yin Yuanli didn’t object.
After entering the bookshop, Qin Wanwan regretted it a little.
Her little face scrunched up as she followed beside Yin Yuanli, watching him take down a book and open it.
She leaned her little head over to take a look:
She didn’t understand, completely didn’t understand.
She twisted her small body and raised her arm: “Wolf Fang, let’s go out.”
This place wasn’t suitable for her.
Wolf Fang didn’t say a word and picked her up to leave.
Finally holding his master, he was happy(￣︶￣)
Yin Yuanli simply instructed a few people to follow her and ensure her safety.
Qin Wanwan bought many snacks that she liked, letting Wolf Fang carry them.
Every time she bought something, the butler and Uncle Lin would rush to pay. Although they argued fiercely, they all kept an eye on Qin Wanwan.
As long as they didn’t fight, it was fine.
Qin Wanwan was already used to it.
Then, with her snacks, she arrived at a teahouse and sat in a private room, listening to the storyteller.
She leaned on the window and discovered that the storyteller was talking about her father Xie Chong’s story, so she became more interested.
“It is said that Xie Chong, the ever-victorious general of Tianqi, was of grassroots origin yet possessed innate divine strength. Everyone knows that the Tartars are tall and strong, but the Tartars’ strongest warrior was utterly defeated by Xie Chong on the battlefield.
His spear technique was taught by the current Duke of Zhenguo of Tianqi, formerly General Zheng. His Zheng family spear technique was performed with divine skill.
Not only that, but this general’s archery was also extremely superb. Few people could draw a ten-stone bow and arrow; in his hands, it was effortless. He even had fifteen-stone bows and arrows specially made to be suitable.
In last year’s Battle of Guanyue, General Xie led a light cavalry deep into the grassland…”
The storyteller’s emotions were full as he told the story, and Qin Wanwan listened, occasionally exclaiming “Wow.”
Then she said proudly: “My daddy is so amazing.”
The border soldiers were equally proud. When General Zheng guarded the border pass, he could only barely maintain peace at the border and prevent the Tartars from breaching Shahe City, but large and small battles occurred frequently.
Their general, however, could directly drive the Tartars back to the grassland and even captured dozens of Tartar royalty.
This was their general’s strength!
What did it matter if those noble families in Shangjing looked down on the general’s origins? Were they not still relying on him to protect the safety of Tianqi?
