Seven Unfortunate Lifetimes Chapter 27.2 (1/2)

Chapter 27 part 2

I woke up at the first daylight. I rolled out of the bed, pushed the door open and was startled at the sight in front of me.

“Why are you kneeling again?”

Chu Yi was kneeling in front of the door. After hearing me, he knocked his head on the floor and said: “General, please punish me. Those people escaped.”

I touched my nose. I was wondering what for temper did the former general has. Why do the people at his home like to kneel so much? I waved my hand and said: “Forget it. Let them escape.”

In a blink of eye, I was already walking in the direction of Chu Kong’s room. Chu Yi didn’t stand up yet and knocked his head again on the floor.

“General, Xinyun lady…….you set this trap for so long and now you’re letting her get away.”

I stopped in my tracks. My eyes fell on Chu Yi. The former general really became suspicious of Xinyun lady! It appears that Chu Yi knows really well what kind of trap the general has set. I narrowed my eyes and said: “Things has already gone this way. Now we can only take a step and calculate the next.”

Chu Yi’s head is still glued on the ground. He said with a voice full of remorse: “Blame this servant’s incompetence for letting Xinyun and those spies of Wei country escape together!”

I nodded. It turned out that Xinyun lady is a spy from Wei country. The former general must’ve seen through Xinyun’s ident.i.ty. So he went along with their plan and kept her by his side. Then he can get information about Wei country. He really is a clever general. I said: “No harm. Even with a soldier’s blocking, water can still pa.s.s. You get up first.”

Chu Yi finally stood up. He glanced once at me and said with a worried voice: “General, each day that pa.s.sed the situation at the border gets worse. I’m afraid that there’ll be war again. And since the last injury, your body……”

His worried words went into my ears. The four words that stayed in my heart were “there’ll be war again”. I suddenly felt that what Chu Kong and I said about the temple and the jianghu are not that dangerous. The place where most people die is at the battlefield ah! Among the powerful army, even your dead body won’t be found.

I rubbed my forehead and pretended to be calm.

“En, I have my own plan.”

After saying that, I didn’t look at him and went straight to Chu Kong. This is something we need to talk about.

The moment I walked into Chu Kong’s room, he was drinking medicine. The maid is feeding him with a beautiful little spoon. I saw him frown while drinking the medicine. It must be painful for him to drink medicine that way.

I walked towards the maid and took away the bowl of medicine.

“I’ll do it. You can retreat.”

The maids looked at each other and didn’t go away, until Chu Kong opened his mouth to let them retreat. They walked out and shut the door.

I unceremoniously sat down on his bed and handed the bowl to Chu Kong to let him drink it himself. Chu Kong looked at me dissatisfied.
