"I came to see you this time, naturally to ask if you have a choice?"
"If you choose to stay, then wait for me to return in Kyoto."
"If you choose to go back, I will place you in the mission and have you accompany me north."
Earlier, on the pleasure boat at Zuixianju, Chen Qingfeng had promised Si Lili that he would give her a choice in the future.
And this choice, naturally, is to stay or to leave.
Chen Qingfeng had already asked Si Lili about it.
But at that time, Si Lili did not give a clear answer.
Now that Chen Qingfeng is about to be sent as an envoy to Northern Qi, he needs a definite answer from Si Lili.
Upon hearing what Chen Qingfeng said, Si Lili was slightly surprised, her expression showing hesitation.
She had been thinking about this for days, but had been hesitant to make a decision.
"Ok?"
Seeing that Si Lili remained silent for a long time, Chen Qingfeng hesitated slightly and called out, "Lili?"
Upon hearing this, Si Lili snapped out of her daze.
She thought for a moment, then a resolute glint flashed in her eyes, and she replied:
"Son."
"I...I've made up my mind."
"Just send me back to Northern Qi!"
When Si Lili said this, she didn't seem particularly happy; instead, her expression was filled with tenderness and reluctance.
Although she really wanted to stay and be by Chen Qingfeng's side.
But reality is too cruel.
She was a spy planted in the capital by the Northern Qi dynasty.
It was already quite an achievement that Chen Qingfeng was able to save them.
Besides, Chen Qingfeng has already married two beautiful women, so what difference would it make if she stayed?
Returning to Northern Qi would at least allow him to live a more comfortable life.
Upon hearing Si Lili's reply, a barely perceptible glint of something unusual flashed in Chen Qingfeng's eyes.
"it is good."
"I respect your choice."
"Once the mission departs from Beijing, I will arrange for you to join the mission."
Seeing Chen Qingfeng agree so readily, a shadow of sadness crossed Si Lili's beautiful eyes, and she felt somewhat disappointed.
She had assumed that Chen Qingfeng would at least try to keep her here.
Of course, what Si Lili didn't know was...
Chen Qingfeng had considered trying to persuade her to stay, but since it was Si Lili's choice, he respected it.
Moreover, he said he wanted to give Si Lili a choice.
If I were to ask her to stay, I'm afraid it would only cause her more worry.
After a brief silence, Si Lili tightened her grip on Chen Qingfeng and buried her head close to his body.
Seeing this, Chen Qingfeng took a deep breath and said with a mischievous smile:
"Miss Lili, are you reluctant to part with me?"
"Would you like me to leave you with an even deeper impression?"
Si Lili was initially somewhat sorrowful.
Upon hearing Chen Qingfeng's words, he was startled.
"Sir, you wouldn't..."
Si Lili raised her head, but before she could finish speaking, Chen Qingfeng had already kissed her and then rolled over on top of her.
In the morning light, the spring tide surges.
Two overlapping figures, freely splashing out passion.
After some back and forth, Chen Qingfeng gave Si Lili some pills.
At that moment, a system notification sounded in his mind:
【Ding! 】
[An important story character for the host to check in with has been detected: Si Lili.]
[Have you checked in?]
Upon hearing the system's prompt, Chen Qingfeng immediately selected to sign in.
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in!]
[Reward: 10,000 Snow Dragon Cavalry, stationed on the border of Northern Qi.]
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingfeng was startled.
I thought the rewards this time would be the same as before, like pills or cultivation techniques.
Who would have thought it was an army?
Chen Qingfeng was secretly amazed.
"The Great Snow Dragon Rider?"
"Those are the invincible cavalrymen who are said to be able to take on ten men at once!"
"The mournful iron cavalry is unparalleled in the world, and the snow-covered dragon cavalry is unmatched in the Northern Liang."
"I never expected the system would reward me with a Great Snow Dragon Rider force of ten thousand men!"
I thought the system was quite thoughtful.
Perhaps they knew he was about to be sent as an envoy to the Northern Qi, and that's why they gave him such a reward.
"There is such a Snow Dragon Rider."
"Enough to crush Northern Qi, right?"
"I was only sent as an envoy to Northern Qi, not to wage war against Northern Qi."
"Whether or not this cavalry is needed, let's wait and see!"
Chen Qingqing pondered.
They naturally knew what a Great Snow Dragon Cavalry meant.
Afterwards, Chen Qingfeng recovered and spent some more time cuddling with Si Lili on the bed before getting up and leaving.
As he was leaving, Si Lili watched him go.
The reluctance in her eyes blurred at this moment, merging with the morning light and becoming crystal clear.
……
After leaving Si Lili's residence, Chen Qingfeng did not return directly to Chen Garden, but instead went to Tianji Pavilion.
Upon learning of Chen Qingfeng's arrival, Sang Wen tidied his clothes, looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and then hurriedly ran to meet him.
"Sang Wen greets the young master!"
In the courtyard, Sang Wen bowed to Chen Qingfeng.
Chen Qingfeng smiled slightly and said:
"You don't need to be so polite when you see me in the future."
Sang Wen smiled tenderly and nodded slightly, saying:
"Understood, young master!"
She said this aloud, but in her heart she was somewhat hesitant.
What brings Chen Qingfeng here at this time?
After all, Chen Qingfeng had brought Wu Zhu to Tianji Pavilion last night.
When he left, Sang Wenben thought of asking Chen Qingfeng to stay overnight, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.
After all, there were two beautiful women waiting for him in Chen Garden.
Just as Sang Wen was in a daze, Chen Qingfeng pulled him up and said with a smile:
"Let's go! To the secret room!"
Sang Wen smiled shyly and then went to the secret room with Chen Qingfeng.
Upon entering the secret chamber, Chen Qingfeng went straight to the coffin.
At this moment, Ye Qingmei, who had regained consciousness, noticed footsteps approaching.
"Your son is here again?"
Just as Ye Qingmei was filled with doubt, Chen Qingfeng said with a smile:
"Mother, this is the last time I'll visit you before I leave for Northern Qi."
"Perhaps by the time I return, you will have already awakened."
“Early this morning, Emperor Qing summoned me to the palace for an audience, and he used words to test me.”
"Given His Majesty's suspicious nature, he must already suspect me of many things."
"Previously, the Northern Qi delegation came to the capital and held a negotiation at the Honglu Temple."
"The two sides reached an agreement to exchange Sean for Yan Bingyun."
"And I am the one in charge of this mission to Northern Qi."
Upon hearing what Chen Qingfeng said, Ye Qingmei was startled.
