C67 (2/2)

As time passed, he gradually got used to a man's goodness and could no longer bear to part with that bit of warmth.

Xiao Qian frowned and said, ”Then why are there bandits and landlords who would rather die than submit?”

Tan Zhao took another sip of wine. ”I forgot to mention the most important point. It depends on your face.”

”Oh.”

Xiao Qian unconsciously rubbed his chin as he wondered what his face looked like.

If Tan Zhao knew what he was thinking, he would have rolled his eyes without restraint. Who would have known that the great general of the Xiao Clan was a courageous and warlike man?

If such a character doubted himself, then more than half of the people in the capital would be ashamed.

”You mean, the first step I need to take is to explain it to her?”

Tan Zhao nodded his head. That was for sure. It was the first step to expressing his determination, and the second step was to strive for emotions. The third step was to fiercely seize the bridal room.

Xiao Qian was silent for a while, as if he was making a decision.

From the moment he was born, as the successor of the Xiao family, he only had one mission, and that was to protect his family and country with a sword.

At the age of fourteen, he began his military career. He faced rolling sand and sword shadows, a field of battle that had already sharpened his heart into an indestructible fortress. He had never been so moved by a woman before —

Except for the woman who had sacrificed her life and inspired him to resist the Huns.

However, he could only admire that woman.

It wasn't until Su Zhi appeared that he began to realize that men really needed a woman to accompany them.

'Bang! '

After thinking for a long time, Xiao Qian finally made up his mind. He heavily placed the wine bottle on the table and said, ”Ok, I will explain it to her!”

Tan Zhao jumped in shock. He swallowed the strong wine in his mouth with difficulty and reached out to grab him.

”General, cough cough cough.”

Xiao Qian ignored him and walked out of the room. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the night.

”General, think twice before acting …”

Tan Zhao stared at the empty courtyard, instantly feeling guilty.

He did not encourage the general. He had made the decision himself.

The moon hung high in the sky, the river of stars swayed, and tens of thousands of lanterns were lit.

Spring Leaf Alley had already returned to peace. Su Zhi was boiling water for the two children to wash up.

After some work, Aunt Bai knocked on the door again.

”Xiaosu, did you sleep?”

”Aunt, not yet.”

Su Zhi carried the two children to bed and hurried to open the door.

”It's so late. What's the matter, Aunt?”

Aunt Bai didn't go in and looked around to see that there was no one around, so she pulled Su Zhi's hand and grinned, ”Xiaosu, that nephew of the Liu family is very satisfied with you. They say that you are demure, gentle, dignified and elegant, and that you are the one who manages the family. ”

Su Zhi shyly lowered her head and said, ”Brother Liu is flattering me. I really can't take it.”

”I see, that child is also very tolerant. He won't treat you two unfairly, and he won't be wronged if he marries you. That depends on what you think. ”

Su Zhi now understood that Aunt Bai was here to scout things out.
