Chapter 78: Like-minded (2/2)
Sun Yan looked her up and down After a ht hand and shouted: “Anyone out there? Go and invite wang Qilang over, and tell hiht have found a best friend”
“Aye”
Chen Rong’s face lightened upon hearing the footsteps receding in obedience, glowing instantly with a s countenance He slightly tilted his head and looked no more
The rooan so retainers had been unflappable when they entered the city, even s, youthe tone in his voice, Chen Rong reckoned her display of wisdo the city had not been spread It appeared to be at wang Hong’s private behest She could never see through thatchecked herself, nodded and replied, “Aye,” a pause, “it was ate, and that the Hu would not attack us”
Sun Yan whipped up looking at her “It was your idea?”
She nodded
Sun Yan got up and paced around the room After a few steps, he stopped and turned to look at Chen Rong with eyes that shone increasingly brighter “You knoarfare strategies?! That’s great! If you also think that way, then ill break out tonight” He turned and walked outside
Chen Rong quickly called after hi?”
“Why would I wait for hi and the heads of the ive a fuck if they don’t listen to us wang Qilang is practically a God, I’d rather believe hione in the blink of an eye
Chen Rong sure and finally calmed down
She had been a little rash at the ti she was irl and that no one would believe what she said, she ventured to offer an idea to the wang entourage in hope that she would win credence and show that she was trustworthy At the time, it seemed she had achieved the result she wanted Nonetheless, she hadn’t expected the wangs to neglect crediting her to outsiders What’shad always brushed her off the several tih, what she said happened to coincide ang Hong’s words! Luckily enough, Sun Yan illing to believe the two of the slumped onto the divan, raised her wine, and threw her head back for a swig
The ht was suddenly darkened Chen Rong released her cup, used her sleeve to dab her lanced out of the corner of her eye whereupon her graceless wiping stiffened
A snohite figure was standing at the door, his head slightly tilting to the side with a faint s Qilang
Chen Rong’s face instantly colored
She knew the nobles in the south placed great emphasis on demeanors and appearances, so s for their children Up until now, she had always rerace in front of others, for it was of great importance When people believed that one was noble due to his bloodline, then his courtliness was expected to exude from within If a htforward or contemptuous of traditions, that he did not mind what other people said, and that his conduct was befitting of the carefree literati But if a wo to the gentry
Of course, the reason why Chen Rong placed so much emphasis on it was because these trivial behaviors of hers had been ridiculed by the noble ladies as well as the maids and concubines of the Ran estate in the past These unending ridicules that jabbed at her self-respect day after day had becoht by an illustrious nobleman the first time she exposed her true uncouth self, and he was also the perfectly refined and Godlike wang Hong!
He th away frohtly forward and closed their distance
In the dark corner, his eyes shone as bright as stars Looking at her with breathing that could be heard, wang Hong extended his slender fingers to help her wipe the wine froently said, “How careless of you” His voice sounded like a spring breeze that was passing by
At his touch, Chen Rong slowly lowered her hand from the air She looked to the floor and slowly resu Hong also took a seat on the divan He raised the wine and threw his head back for a swig, dabbing at hisjust as Chen Rong had done And yet, his elegance was that which truly exuded from within They had been the exact same actions, but there was a completely different charm when he perforh to put others to sharateful to hi her in his oay
wang Hong let go of his wine-stained sleeve, lifted his eyes to look at Chen Rong and asked, “Didn’t Sun Yan say I ht find my best friend here? Why is it that he hi ihtened her back, took a breath and then looked at wang Hong “I’ve just told Sun Yan that the Hu soldiers at the south gate will suddenly be transferred away at the Ox hour tonight, leaving only three thousand soldiers behind These soldiers areKe’s camp; they are not united That will be our only chance of survival” In the dark, her expression was steadfast, but her eyes were a bit evasive when she faced wang Hong “After Sun Yan decided to call you here, he had gone to look for theHe said that if they do not listen to him, he will take his two thousand men and break out of here themselves”
She said all of this in one breath, after which silence resu looked at her, slowly poured himself some wine and softly s”
He kept his voice light, and Chen Rong didn’t knohether heelse
He emptied his wine and placed the cup down “If that’s the case, then let’s do as you say”
Ecstatic, Chen Rong couldn’t help but ask: “Why aren’t you askingtilted his head looking at her with a s shook her head
He laughed and said, “Then why should I ask you?”
She also gave him a s Hong’s pleasant voice sounded: “Ah Rong, you’re blushi+ng again”
Chen Rong dropped her gaze, wrung her hands anda fool out of myself in front of you”
“Is that so?”
“Aye” Sheand appearing as though she aiting for his consolation
He did not console her He curved his lips and lightly said, “You have to be careful”
Be careful? What did hethat she had always been an uncouth person, so she needed to be ’s small face turned ruddier She pursed her lips, but did not form any words
She did not notice that, at this ti her fro composed herself and inwardly bristled: So what if he found out? He isn’t a prattling person ill go around to tell others about my uncouth nature I… I won’t marry him either, so why should I care what he thinks? She felt
Chen Rong watched wang Hong drinking his wine and soe of ti Sometimes, she truly felt that time went by very quickly whenever she ith hi was said
They sat that way for some time before hurried footsteps approached them These footsteps swiftly made their way to the stairs and were followed by Sun Yan’s command: “Tell our brothers to make dinner and prepare to act Remember to keep your voices down”
“Aye”
Forthwith, Sun Yan entered the hall He strode to Chen Rong and wang Hong, reached for the cup on the table that Chen Rong had drank fro
He next placed the cup down and, without paying attention to Chen Rong and wang Hong’s expressions, angrily fu fuck! They insist on breaking out froate and won’t let me take my soldiers away Motherfuckers, they want my men to be the first to die”
He sat down and said to wang Hong, “I already knohat they decided I don’t want to talk about it any to let them knohat I’ll do” There was a faint unease in his voice
It was understandable Every move at this time would implicate the lives in the city If Sun Yan were to act on his own, it would be a huge blow to the people of Mo’yang ere counting on his two thousandand waited for his verdict
“If it’s been decided, then act on it,” wang Hong sree?” Sun Yan exclaihtly saying: “They’re too like-minded If you tell them that you want to break out on your own, they’ll only lock you up and then take control of your soldiers”
Sun Yan sprang to his feet, growling: “I dare them to!” As soon as his shout was let out, he recalled that the see was actually so at a tiht, he said resolutely, “Good, on’t let theain reached for Chen Rong’s half-drank cup
But he was grabbing at eracefully reached out to take Chen Rong’s cup ahead of hi away rubbish, held the bottle and poured each of them a new cup
He did this series of actions so s out of the ordinary He pulled his hand back, lifted the wine cup wang Hong had filled and drank up
Chen Rong had taken a pause at first, but when she saang Hong’s natural actions, his s more of it
