Chapter 169 - Let Him Be a Fleeing Rabbit (2/2)

“Well, to deliver goods?”

Xiao Baoshan didn’t answer.

She gave up the question and asked another. “When will you come back?”

He still evaded the question. Come back? He also wondered whether he could come back or not.

Ye Xiaoxian kept asking, “Baoshan, did you beg someone you shouldn’t beg or do something you shouldn’t do just to save me?”

Suddenly, he rolled over and put his weight on her like a tired beast.

Ye Xiaoxian told herself that she must have overthought it all. The provincial governor didn’t look like someone that would force people to do anything excessive. Then, she put her confusion aside and enjoyed this fleshly indulgence with her whole heart.

Ming Wei General’s Office in the capital.

This was the mansion of a fourth-ranked general, where Qian Qi held a post.

He was 35 years old and about 6 feet 2 inches tall. One year ago, he returned from the northern battlefield to nurse his injuries. Since the tension of war was eased, he had been staying in the capital.

One day, when he was strolling around the backyard with a caged bird, his subordinate reported, “General Qian, we’ve found Xiao Baoshan!”

“Xiao Baoshan?” Qian Qi was astonished. “Do you mean the previous senior commandant of the cavalry?”

“Yes!”

“How did you get this information? Where is he?” Qian Qi asked.

“He’s in Qinghe county. Several days ago, the provincial governor reported that Xiao Baoshan had ordered him to handle a case for him using a military token.”

Qian Qi rubbed his chin, lost in thought. Then, a sneer crossed his face. “All right. Now that he doesn’t want to be a cowardly turtle anymore, we can let him be a rabbit, a fleeing rabbit!”
