Chapter 149 The Iron-blooded Emperor's Palm
Before Ji Junze could put his plan of throwing the cat into action, there was an urgent knock on the door.
Ji Junze's attention was instantly diverted from the kitten.
He glanced sideways at the door and asked in a deep voice, "Who?"
At the same time, a hand picked up the blanket next to it and threw it on the table, accurately covering the kitten's head.
Shi Li's entire body was covered tightly with a small blanket.
Nothing can be seen.
She didn't dare to act rashly and could only listen quietly to the noise outside.
"Brother Junze, it's me, it's me! I'm coming in!"
A carefree male voice was heard, the door was pushed open, and a chubby little boy ran in from outside with a string of candied haws in his hand.
"Brother Junze, this is for you." The little boy handed the candied haws to Ji Junze as if he was offering a treasure.
Ji Junze didn't answer, but just glanced at it calmly and asked cautiously: "Where did you come from?"
Although it was just a string of candied haws, Ji Junze had to be cautious.
His identity is too dangerous.
Several years ago, Prince Ji Yu of Feng State was sent to Su State as a hostage, where he stayed for more than ten years.
During this period, Ji Yu met Meng Jia, a wealthy businessman who was very kind to him.
Meng Jia not only gave Ji Yu a large sum of money, but also gave him Qiu Ji, the most beautiful girl in his mansion.
Ji Junze is the child born by Qiu Ji to Prince Ji Yu.
A few years ago, Meng Jia spent a large sum of money and effort to help Ji Yu return to Feng State smoothly.
However, in order to avoid trouble, he could not take Qiu Ji and the young Ji Junze with him, so he could only leave them in Su State temporarily and entrust them to Meng Jia's good friend Qin Mu to take care of them.
Now the vassal states are at loggerheads with each other. It is really dangerous for Qiu Ji and Ji Junze to stay in Su State with their identities.
Qiu Ji is weak but not stupid. She has taught Ji Junze to be ready for battle at any time since he was a child.
Fortunately, Qin Mu was also a smart man. He did not let outsiders know the identities of Qiu Ji and Ji Junze. He only told others that they were distant relatives who came to seek refuge, thus avoiding outsiders' prying eyes.
The fat boy who came to give Ji Junze candied haws was Qin Mu’s youngest son Qin Chaoheng.
"The servant went out to buy something today and brought it specially for me. Don't worry, brother Junze." Qin Chaoheng answered very readily.
Like other children in the Qin family, he respected Ji Junze as the eldest and admired him from the bottom of his heart.
After all, even if they were tied together, they still couldn't beat Ji Junze alone.
Furthermore, every time they fought with their mortal enemies outside, Ji Junze would give them advice and just a few words of guidance, allowing them to easily defeat their mortal enemies and vent their anger.
The children of the Qin family all wanted to beat Ji Junze to death.
"You keep it for yourself, you don't have to give it to me." Ji Junze let down his guard a little, but still did not accept his younger brother's filial piety.
Of course, he didn't hang out with the Qin family's kids for fun, but for other purposes.
But Qin Chaoheng didn't know.
Instead, he felt that Ji Junze was considerate of him and was so touched that he kept chattering in the room.
The longer he stayed, the longer Shi Li was covered in the blanket, not even able to breathe.
Although I don’t know why, it can be seen from Ji Junze’s actions that he doesn’t want others to discover her existence.
Shi Li was very aware of the situation and did not jump out to highlight his presence.
After finally waiting until Qin Chaoheng left, Shi Li couldn't help but let out a soft "Meow——"
The blanket covering her body was immediately taken away, and Shi Li saw Ji Junze's expressionless face again.
It's a bit strange. He looks like a precocious person, so how could he play with the fat boy who likes to eat candied haws?
Shi Li was puzzled.
For the next few days, she, a weak little kitten, could not go anywhere and could only stay in the room.
But he witnessed with his own eyes that the children of the Qin family came to see Ji Junze in groups.
Every time someone came, Shi Li was forced to hide.
Except for Qin Chaoheng, the other children of the Qin family are all rebellious. However, when they come in front of Ji Junze, they restrain their edges and are willing to be his younger brothers.
Could it be that the iron-blooded emperor has begun to consciously recruit soldiers and horses now?
On the third day, the fat boy Qin Chaoheng came again.
He came empty-handed this time, and nervously brought some not-so-good news to Ji Junze.
"Brother Junze, I saw Xiao Si, the horse breeder, peeking into your room these days. I followed him secretly and heard him asking others about your name, saying something about Fengguo..."
Ji Junze sat on the chair and raised his eyes when he heard the words, "Yang Ma, Xiao Si?"
Shi Li, who was hiding under the chair, felt a chill in her heart from these four words.
Only Qin Chaoheng was unaware and was still thinking divergently.
"I heard that Xiao Si has a younger sister at home. Would he want to give her to you?"
Shi Li: ...
