Chapter 1152: Since You Haven’t Taken Your Bath For Quite A Few Days, Let Me Help You With It
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation“Are you sure?” Long Xuan glanced at him coldly. “Do you even understand what a suspicious person looks like? Anyone who isn’t acting normal, even just a little bit, would be considered suspicious. I’ll give you another chance to really think about this. If you can’t give me a proper answer, don’t blame me for showing no mercy!”
It must have been these useless soldiers’ fault that Long Chi’s groups managed to pass through the gates.
Frightened, the soldier gave it some deep thought.
It took a while before he finally said, “There was a suspicious woman who kept shedding tears, but her husband said that she caught a disease and could not look into the light. Her eyes would get hurt by the light, which was why she was tearing up…” The soldier’s voice gradually turned softer with every word he said.
Long Xuan kicked him.
!!“How is there no one suspicious if you saw something so strange? You’ve clearly failed your duty here. If that person were a spy, you would have let them go.”
The soldier fell to the ground in a heap after he was viciously kicked, but he did not cry out in pain. He got up and knelt next to Long Xuan’s feet. “I have failed my duty. Please punish me accordingly!”
Long Xuan did not have the time to deal with him. All he said was, “Hurry up and open the gates for me to pass through.”
The soldier immediately got up and quickly went to open the gates.
Before he walked out, Long Xuan said, “I’ll give you a chance to make up for the mistake.”
“Please give me your order, General!” the soldier guarding the gates immediately said.
“Guard West Water Frontier properly and do not allow anyone suspicious to leave these gates,” Long Xuan said with a murderous look on his face.
“Yes, General. I won’t slack off again,” the soldier quickly replied.
Long Xuan turned away and led Chu Jiu and the others, leaving West Water Frontier quickly.
The gates to the Yan Kingdom were a hundred miles away from the Frontier.
Long Xuan and the others could only draw their horses to a halt when they arrived.
“What should we do now?” Chu Jiu asked anxiously.
The Yan Kingdom was right before them, but they could not enter as they pleased due to their status. They would be treated as spies and promptly arrested.
They would only be able to pass through the gates with special permission from their Emperor.
“We need to get a trader’s travel pass and come back.” Long Xuan thought about this for a while before making the decision.
Chu Jiu nodded. The only other option would be for them to sneak into the Yan Kingdom once night fell.
While Long Xuan’s group was turning back to West Water Frontier to think up a new plan, Lu Liangwei had been brought to the Yan Kingdom gates by Long Chi.
Long Chi and the others finally felt relieved when they entered the Yan Kingdom’s land.
As long as they had left Great Shang, there was nothing Long Yang could do even if he found out they were in the Yan Kingdom.
As such, Long Chi could finally relax. He even helped Lu Liangwei wipe off the powder that disguised her face. He promptly washed it off, revealing her true appearance.
Long Chi was cheered up tremendously at the sight of her beautiful face. He released her pressure point that made her mute in a rare showing of mercy.
Lu Liangwei was now able to speak again, but she did not curse at him immediately.
She knew that would only help vent her anger and had no effect on Long Chi whatsoever.
She decided it was best not to say a word.
Long Chi could not resist softening his tone when he saw her acting so stubborn. “I know you’re furious, but there’s nothing I could have done about it. It’s all because you were being such a pain. If you had been obedient, I wouldn’t have taken such extreme measures with you. Just bear with it for a little longer. I’ll get Liu Fu to release your other pressure points once we’re in Yan Kingdom’s capital city.”
Lu Liangwei remained unmoved.
She was immobilized by the pressure point. Even if she had made plans to escape, there was nothing she could do now.
Long Chi paused when he saw her ignoring him. His fingers touched the belt on her waist and said huskily, “Since you haven’t taken your bath for quite a few days, let me help you with it.”
