Chapter 153: How To Lend A Helping Hand (XI)


Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


Xu Ke raised his brows. “It seems you’re a victim, too.”


Qiguan Rang nodded. He still could not understand how Jiang Pengji knew so much


about people at first glance. Yet, her conversation with the military chief shed light on


it: the key was her keen observation.


Xu Ke smiled. “The good side is that people can rarely deceive the langjun. But his


strength also renders him stubborn and rigid.”


A man overconfident in his own observation and judgement was often too arrogant to


listen to opposition, which could be a problem for people who worked for him. There


would be a deadlock when neither side could convince the other.


Qiguan Rang contemplated before he lowered his voice. “Aren’t you worried about


your future then?”


Xu Ke replied, “Well, it’s not too bad. Langjun is proud, but he is willing to accept


reasonable opinions. He also seldom intervenes in work that he’s not familiar with.


That’s much better than those who think too highly of themselves and mess up


everything in the end.”


After that, he added, “Besides, even if he were one of those masters, I could not


leave before getting my slave contract back. The best choice I have is to accept what


has happened and avoid unnecessary troubles.”


The words “slave contract” surprised Qiguan Rang. He never suspected that Xu Ke


had entered the Liu’s as a slave. Common slaves would not have his cultivated


manner and competence.


“I was caught after an impulsive decision, and I was later bought by Langjun,” Xu Ke


explained with a gentle smile, which proved he was not really complaining. “There


was a time when I couldn’t even sleep at night.”


Qiguan Rang frowned. “What did Lanting do? He’s a bit strange, but he is a sensible


person.”


“Oh, it’s not Langjun,” mumbled Xu Ke. Liu She’s snake-like eyes still appeared in


his dreams from time to time.


They were chatting softly and could not be heard outside the distance of a few steps


away. Although Jiang Pengji could capture their words if she wanted to, she was


concentrating on the dark-faced man—the disguised military chief, Meng Hun.


Meng Hun was trying to talk about Meng Liang, yet she seemed not to have noticed


and kept asking about his family and what he had seen on his journey there. All his


attempts were in vain.


At last, she looked at him sincerely. “I’ve never left Hejian. I wish I could walk on


soils in all countries and see the boundless world like you!”


Her innocent pa.s.sion reminded him of his daughter, who used to protest against the


confinement at home; she wished to ride and fight like he did for their masters.


He faked a smile and said bitterly, “Life outside is desperate. People can hardly find


food and water among deserted mountains and waters. You would miss home as


soon as you leave it.”


“But we have to try it once, right? I’ll not let you put out the fire in me.” She appeared


unaffected. “Besides, how upsetting can the journey be if I take enough guards with


me? They will certainly protect me and provide me with the best.”


She then turned to him abruptly with glittering eyes. “You’re as strong as my guards


and much more experienced in traveling. I’m sure you can guide us to the safest


routes! As you don’t have a family and are fleeing from war in your homeland, how


about you stay at our home?”


Meng Hun’s lips trembled. It took a long time for him to utter an answer. “I must not


accept your generous offer. I’m just an inferior being to your family.”


Ordinary commoners would say yes without hesitation, but Meng Hun had to decline


her invitation. He did not want the Liu’s to get involved in his confrontation with the


Meng’s, especially after he had learned about the past between Liu She and Meng


Zhan.


Meng Liang must have entered the Liu’s under another ident.i.ty, or else why would


Liu She agree to let him stay?


If Meng Liang died at the Liu’s house, the Meng’s would definitely demand them to


hand out Meng Hun and then make the innocent family pay the price.


While Meng Hun had found Jiang Pengji’s gaze slightly eerie, he formed a good


impression for the amiable langjun who cared about the commoner’s living and


would not complain about his current life like his peers did. Some spoiled children


from the houses would even torture civilians and inflict females the way Meng Liang


did.


However, he was resolute to protect the Liu’s by keeping his distance.


As he expected, the apparently well-tempered langjun did not feel offended, but


sighed. “If it’s your decision, I will not force you.”


The sun was setting when the two returned from fis.h.i.+ng, each dragging a full basket.


Meng Hun, who believed he had finished “sounding Liu Xi out”, suggested he should


probably leave before dinner.


He then received another pack of items, which included two sets of thick clothes,


several pairs of cotton socks and large straw shoes, as well as dried food for the


coming few days and some medicine for injuries.


Jiang Pengji’s excuse was, “I’ve noticed the blisters on your feet. It’s better to heal


them before they fester.”


Her gesture warmed Meng Hun’s heart and he accepted the considerate gift.


Qiguan Rang and Xu Ke, who witnessed the whole scene, made a cool laugh.


Naïve! Liu Xi doesn’t send gifts for no reason.
