Chapter 79 - Find Him (1/2)
Wenren Chi didn’t know that his sister was arranging such an arduous task for him. When he left the Shi Army, he became the Left Leader of the City Guardian Army.
It was a high-ranking official, so there were a lot of people finding him.
Especially for matchmaking!
“Brother, Mr. Jin’s wife invites you to meet at the Juxian Pavilion.”
Wenren Chi was going on patrol with his subordinates, when a person came to report. Such invitations had been countless recently, which annoyed him.
He looked sullen and said coldly, “You tell her that I still have to go on patrol and have no time to meet her. Please forgive me.”
After that, he brought his people and walked away without looking back.
The subordinate sent by Mrs. Jin was not far away. He heard Wenren Chi’s words clearly. When Wenren Chi left, he scolded in a low voice, “My madam invited him with good intentions, but he refused. He really doesn’t appreciate what is good!”
The soldiers who spread his words glanced at that man, and also scolded in an angry tone, “What’s so great about the wife of an ordinary official? Our boss won’t meet her if he says so. If you dare to talk more about it, be careful that I will beat you!”
Although Wenren Chi joined the City Guardian Army, he didn’t go alone to tolerate the anger. She Junhe assigned the team he had trained in the Shi Army to the City Guardian Army.
No one was dissatisfied with the forces of the Shi Army. The Great Leader of the City Guardian Army was the Assistant Minister of Ministry of War, Leng Yuan. He wouldn’t have any disagreements, and he also took the initiative to help cover what broke the laws.
Seeing the fierce face of the soldier, the man compared their figures and walked away with fear and disappointment.
A group of people in the back laughed suddenly, and one of the strong men also spit on the ground very disdainfully, “Bah, what a coward! How can he behave affectedly in front of our boss?”
But a short man said with envy, “Xiong, you can’t say so. You haven’t seen her, but the girl in the Jin Family looks really great. I saw her in the flower market from afar. I almost drooled.”
Xiong Zhuang glanced at the short man with disgust, “Bah! Beautiful, beautiful. You are always wanting those who are beautiful. Wang Laosan, you’d better restrain yourself. If our boss knows that you still go to the joyhouse when you rest, he will break your leg.”
“Oh my god. Xiong, don’t tell him. Haven’t I promised that I won’t go?” Wang Laosan hurriedly covered Xiong Zhuang’s mouth, fearing that Wenren Chi would hear them.
Xiong Zhuang hit Wang Laosan’s hands away, “You’d better keep your words! If those in the City Guardian Army look down upon our boss because of you, I won’t let you get away from it no matter whether our boss gives the order or not!”
Wang Laosan shrank his neck and quickly nodded to promise, “I see. I promise! I promise!”
They followed Wenren Chi to patrol the north and the east of the city, and the morning was gone. But after that, Wenren Chi didn’t have a rest. He put on the casual clothes and rushed to the House of the Shi Family.
“Is he going back to be petty and low again?” Xiong Zhuang looked mad and scolded impatiently.
Tie Niu next to him was not surprised, and whispered, “You usually educate Wang Laosan. How come you don’t restrain yourself? Look what you have said. Our boss is a member of the Shi Family anyway. It is normal for him to go back and greet them.”
Xiong Zhuang found that there were only them two in the room and immediately stopped pretending, “A member of the Shi Family! If they really regard our boss as a family member, why do they kick him out of the Shi Family? He still has to give place to those useless people in the Shi Family.”
Tie Niu sighed and warned in a low voice, “General Shi treats our boss well. Even though you aren’t afraid that you will make General Shi disappointed, aren’t you afraid to make our boss accused of the crime of being unfilial?”
Xiong Zhuang shut his mouth up with fear and argued, “I’m not saying that General Shi is not good. I mean those cowards in the Shi Family…”
In the threatening sight of Tie Niu, Xiong Zhuang stopped talking.
At this moment, Wang Laosan rushed in, “Where is boss? Someone asked to see him, and I let her wait in the living room.”
Xiong Zhuang glared at Wang Laosan impatiently, “Hasn’t our boss said that he won’t meet the guests? You can drive her away. Why did you lead her to the living room? Aren’t you afraid to waste the tea?”
A clear female voice interrupted him, “Who makes our Brother Xiong so mad? He is even unhappy to offer me a cup of tea!”
Xiong Zhuang heard the voice and felt it familiar, but he couldn’t tell it at once.
He pushed Wang Laosan away. Looking at her, he suddenly became astonished, “Sixth Lady, why are you here?”
The Shi Army were loyal to Shi Lei, Shi Junhe and even Wenren Chi, but had no good impression on the Shi Family. Among all the members in the Shi Family, maybe only Shi Qingxue could gain the respect from the Shi Army.
Xiong Zhuang always liked this petite Sixth Lady of Shi Family, who was even smarter and more capable than them. But at this time, he was guilty and his voice was much lower.
Shi Qingxue didn’t mind it and smiled slightly, “I’m here for Brother Wenren. Where is he?”
Xiong Zhuang and Tie Niu looked at each other and answered honestly, “Our boss went back home.”
“How can this be?” Shi Qingxue pouted her mouth unhappily. As soon as she returned from Yecheng County, she came to the camp of the City Guardian Army to find Wenren Chi and wanted to ask him to settle Feng Siniang, but they missed unexpectedly.
She sighed helplessly and asked again, “Brother Xiong, Brother Tie Niu, I heard from my dad that you also came to the City Guardian Army. Have you been used to this life recently?”
Even though they knew that Sixth Lady of the Shi Family didn’t put on airs in front of them, they were still surprised. Tie Niu hurriedly replied, “Thanks for Sixth Lady’s care. Everything is fine.”
