Chapter 2: The Cold and Arrogant Master is Actually a Great Enemy
The incident happened suddenly and Shao Quan had no time to react. He subconsciously reached out to support her.
Eyes facing each other.
Xiaolu didn't react.
The barrage didn't react either.
Shi Li's head was against Shao Quan's collar, and she could hear his unusually strong heartbeat: thump! thump! thump!
I could also smell a faint scent of cedar, which was light and ethereal.
Shi Li blinked her eyes, stood up quickly, and while holding the envelope, her fingertips scratched Shao Quan's fingers.
The joints are distinct and as smooth as jade.
The next second, Shao Quan pulled back his hand as if he had been electrocuted. His handsome face instantly tensed and became as cold as ice.
System message: The anchor has completed the bounty mission initiated by [Xiao Fang is unreasonable]
System message: The anchor received the reward [Private Yacht]
"I am rude, please forgive me, sir."
Shi Li held the envelope, lowered her head to hide her smile, and stepped back as if nothing had happened.
Shao Quan stood there without saying a word.
After walking out of the study, Xiaolu immediately grabbed Shili, with a look of extreme fear on her face.
"You scared me to death just now, how could you be so reckless!"
Shi Li touched his head and explained with a wry smile, "I was afraid that the Second Master would suddenly change his mind and not give us the money, and then our trip would be in vain."
Xiaolu helplessly held his forehead and said, "You think too much. The Second Master always prepares money for the Master."
Shi Li: It’s great to have such a younger brother.
But Shao Quan, who was staying in the study, was not feeling well now.
He slowly lowered his eyes and looked at the subtle wrinkles on his collar and his stiff fingers.
He reacted belatedly and frowned.
Unlike his brother Shao Jing, Shao Quan has always been a clean man. He has no wives or concubines, let alone a maid.
Just now it was really...
Shao Quan, who was praised by later generations for his brilliant literary talent, was at a loss for words.
After holding it in for a long time, I gritted my teeth and uttered four words -
"Disgraceful to politeness!"
Shi Li also didn't expect that Quan Shao, a powerful official of that time, would be such a pure and innocent man.
She followed Xiaolu back to Shao Jing's residence and met the legendary foodie, naive and despicable man - Shao Jing again.
Shao Jing, who was sitting lazily on the armchair, was completely different from his cold and rigid younger brother.
He had a pair of smiling peach blossom eyes, which were gentle and affectionate, like spring water at dusk.
Shi Li lowered her head, silently hiding the surprise on her face.
Putting aside other things, these two brothers are really good-looking.
"Really? Wen Yu has to spend money again." Shao Jing held the envelope containing the banknotes and smiled happily.
Wen Yu is Shao Quan's courtesy name.
"Master, don't laugh so happily. Maybe you still have some persuasive power." Xiaolu walked to the side and gently exposed him.
Shao Jing was not annoyed. He used the envelope as a fan, fanning himself while glancing at her with a smile, "Who made me have a good brother?"
This statement really deserves a beating.
The next day, the emperor's transfer order came down.
Shao Jing needs to set off within three days to the remote Nanling Mountains.
Shao Jing decided without hesitation to pack up the three maids and take them away.
Given his style of always bringing his beauties with him wherever he goes, it's no wonder that the rumor in Shengdu is that Shao Jing is a playboy.
On the last night in Shengdu, everyone was busy packing their luggage.
Only Shi Li's painting style is unique and exquisite.
She sat on the edge of the bed.
Focus on watching the quarrel in the barrage.
Half of the comments were from Shao Quan’s fans, asking her to find a way to stay.
The other half of the comments were from Shao Jing's fans, asking her to follow him to Nanling obediently.
Shi Li sneered on the spot——
Haha, it sounds like I can stay if I want to and leave if I want to.
In the end, as it was natural, Shi Li still followed the large group to the West to obtain... Ugh!
He embarked on the journey of being exiled to Nanling.
The journey is long, and we have to walk through mountain roads and water routes, and after walking through the water routes, we have to walk another mountain road.
In addition, occasionally there would be delicious meals at the posthouse, which would delay us for a few more days.
Others were used to it, but Shi Li and Danmu were very worried.
[If he delays his arrival date, will Shao Jing be demoted again? ]
[Don’t tell me, maybe this is the reason why I was demoted for the third time~]
The comments on the barrage were so worried that they became serious.
Shi Li had no choice. Shao Jing was not in a hurry, so what could she do?
After stumbling and bumping along the way, I finally made it through the water and got ashore.
Shi Li and two other maids: Xiaolu and Xiaohuang sat in the carriage, listening to the wheels rolling outside.
Although Shao Jing doesn't look very reliable, he is definitely kind and gentle to women.
He didn't mind riding a horse himself, but he couldn't bear to see his maid suffer, so he hired a carriage.
There is a long mountain road ahead and all you can see outside the window are stretches of dense forests.
Shi Li was tired from being jolted in the carriage and closed her eyes to take a nap, but the carriage suddenly stopped and she almost fell due to inertia.
Then, the nervous voices of guards were heard outside.
"My Lord, be careful, there is an attack!"
Outside, there was the sound of weapons clashing, accompanied by noisy footsteps and shouts.
Shi Li's heart tightened, and he retreated to the depths of the carriage, leaning against the wall.
"I don't know who he is, but he is so brave." Xiaolu's dissatisfied murmur came from the side. She sat steadily in her seat with a very calm expression.
Shi Li admired her courage very much.
Unlike her and Xiao Huang, who each occupied a corner of the carriage, huddled like quails.
"It's okay, Master can handle it." Xiaolu even spoke easily to comfort Shili.
What makes you so confident in Shao Jing?
Shi Li dared to complain secretly, but did not dare to act rashly.
The turmoil outside lasted for about a quarter of an hour before gradually subsiding.
The door of the carriage opened, and a guard poked his head in. "My Lord said that we have to take another route. We are sorry to trouble the three girls."
Well, there is no more carriage to ride.
Shi Li got off the car and saw a mess outside.
There were knives and swords on the ground, as well as a pile of corpses of masked men in black.
What surprised her the most was that Shao Jing, who was not far away, was holding a blood-stained sword in his hand, and his non-smiling face was surprisingly very imposing.
Where is the weak scholar?
What's the deal with saying that you can't tie a chicken with your hands?
Shao Jing actually knows martial arts?
How many surprises are there in this world that she doesn't know about?
Shi Li said that she felt numb.
After changing the route, everything went smoothly.
But Shi Li was a little sad.
The silver hairpin she wore on her head was lost at some point.
That was her only decent piece of jewelry. There was a silver bell on the head of the hairpin, which was very delicate and cute.
After thinking about it, it is possible that he fell on the bumpy carriage, but it is too late to remember it.
Shao Jing and his group arrived at Nanling on the last day of the stipulated deadline.
The local officials had been waiting at the city gate. When they met him, they surrounded him and flattered him.
As a result, Shao Jing first found someone who was capable of taking care of things and asked him to hire a sedan chair for his maid to ride in.
Everyone looked at Shi Li and the others at the same time, with a look of ambiguity in their eyes.
Shi Li: ...
Feng Ping was killed.
Shi Li didn't know what to say, so she obediently sat in the sedan chair and came to the prefect's mansion.
I thought I could finally take a break after a tiring journey.
Who would have thought that as soon as the sedan chair landed, several beautiful women dressed in gorgeous clothes walked out of the prefect's mansion.
The way he acted and behaved, you could tell where he came from.
Shi Li and the other comments opened their mouths in surprise.
