Chapter Seventy-One: Unconventional Overturn

  Just as Wang Rui was asking Ren Shuai and Wang Rui outside the account, Qian Buli's thoughts in the account floated to their three heads. Qian Buli knew that Sun Zhongde's fake assassination could not deceive Du Bing and his three men, and he didn't think of deceiving them either.

  Qian Buli's current power is extremely weak, and he only has a few usable subordinates. Qian Buli had no choice but to base his plan on an assumption, that is, the loyalty of Du Bing and others! If they are also suspected, it will undoubtedly lead to a situation where he can't do anything, nor dare to do so.

  Although he had the means to spend more time and effort to make this scam more realistic, he eventually gave up on the idea because this matter would eventually come to light, which could lead to discord among the generals. The most important point was that his time was running out, setting up a scam would take a lot of time, and the more realistic the scam, the more time it would take.

  Just as Qian Buli was lost in thought, a hurried footsteps came from outside the account, and then the door curtain flashed, a shallow blue figure rushed in: "Buli!!" Before the words fell, Ji Shengqing had already rushed into Qian Buli's arms.

  It should have been a romantic scene, but it wasn't. In this world, Ji Shengqing was considered a stunning beauty, and Qian Buli, although determined, wouldn't fall for her charms... but he could fall over. Ji Shengqing's strength was a bit too much, and Qian Buli had just come back to his senses when she pounced on him, causing him to tumble backwards along with the chair. Luckily, Zhou Yi was quick-witted and managed to grab the back of the chair with both hands, preventing Qian Buli's head from colliding intimately with the ground.

  Ji Shengqin's voice trembled with fear, her eyes closed tight as she clutched Qian Buli's neck with both hands. Qian Buli instinctively tightened his hold on Ji Shengqin, worried that if he fell, the delicate Ji Shengqin would get hurt. As Qian Buli's legs kicked out from under him, they landed perfectly on either side of Ji Shengqin's hips, sandwiching her in the crook of his knees. This pose... Qian Buli's face flushed a deep red, their roles suddenly reversed? Shouldn't it be the man on top and the woman below in this situation?

  There were two soldiers who rushed over to support Qian Bu Li, Zhou Yi Zheng slowly stood up the chair, and Ji Sheng Qing's face flew up with two pieces of crimson. Her body was also slightly trembling. Oh no! Qian Bu Li secretly cursed, some reactions of the human body can't be controlled by oneself, especially for "long-separated" Qian Bu Li, his lower body had become extremely hard, like an iron rod stuck between him and Ji Sheng Qing.

  Qian Buli was dressed in very little, looking like he had just crawled out of bed, and Ji Shengqing was indeed just out of bed, with the coat draped over him falling to the ground in his haste. People who were lightly dressed felt extremely sensitive, even Qian Buli, a seasoned veteran, felt waves of embarrassment, let alone Ji Shengqing.

  "You all go out first." Qian Buli gave a light cough and ordered with an indifferent attitude.

  "Yes, sir." Zhou Yizheng's face was also red, and he hastily ordered the soldiers to withdraw from the commander's tent. They formed a circle outside, while he stood at the entrance. Since the assassin had not been caught yet, protecting Commander Duan was every soldier's responsibility. Zhou Yizheng did not dare to be careless.

  "How are you? Are you hurt from the fall?" Qian asked softly.

  Her long eyelashes trembled violently, but she didn't respond. How could a girl who didn't even dare to open her eyes have the courage to converse with Qian Bu Li?

  Qian let go of his hand gently and helped Ji Shengqing sit on his lap, smiling and saying: "Are you afraid of me? Or do you dislike me?"

  "There's no...!" Ji Sheng's emotions were in turmoil, afraid of misunderstanding Qian Bu Li, she hastily opened her eyes, but she only dared to sneak a glance at Qian Bu Li, and immediately lowered her eyelids.

  "Is it that ugly to look at me for just a second? Am I that ugly?" Qian Buli knew that a girl's courage wasn't something that could be encouraged out, many times, teasing was much more effective than encouragement.

  "Not really..." Ji Shengqin lifted her head and looked at Qian Buli again: "You're very handsome."

  Qian Buli's hand swiftly landed on Ji Shengqing's chin, depriving her of the power to escape. Qian Buli's upper body slowly leaned in: "Really? What about me is good-looking?" Sweet nothings are extremely cheesy for someone who is sober, but it can't be denied that they are essential for capturing a girl's heart.

  Qie Sheng's shy and evasive eyes accidentally caught sight of Qian Bu Li's silver-white eyebrows, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Your eyebrows are the most handsome!"

  "Ah, eyebrows..." Qian Buli's eyes widened for a moment before he burst out laughing: "Good! You dare to tease me!" Now Qian Buli had found the perfect excuse to make his move. He leaned in and kissed Ji Shengqing. Originally, Qian Buli had planned to wait until they were settled in Fuzhou before making his move to gradually conquer Ji Shengqing. But who would have thought that in the unexpected incident earlier, he and Ji Shengqing had shared an intimate, unconventional contact? This was an opportunity that couldn't be missed, and Qian Buli, who was always good at seizing chances, wouldn't let it slip away.

  Ji Sheng's eyes widened in shock as she let out a cry, closing her eyes and helplessly waiting for Qian Bu Li's punishment to descend.

  Qian Buli's lips only touched Jie Shengqing's face for a moment before he smiled and let go. For every young girl who is infatuated with love, their innermost feelings towards intimate actions are both resistant and yearning. In other words, they regard intimacy as a sinful paradise! To make them willingly enter this paradise, men not only need patience but also must find ways to dispel the woman's apprehensions. This is a very difficult task, and Qian Buli was an excellent guide in that world. The one who usually thinks with his lower body is just a child, but Qian Buli hasn't been a child for a long time; he has experience.

  Ji Shengqin let out a sigh of relief, looking at Qian Buli with eyes mixed with delight. Of course, Qian Buli did not overlook the hint of disappointment hidden in Ji Shengqin's gaze. Contradictions fill every corner of life, and girls always hope that the person they admire will love them, yet also be a good man, just like Ji Shengqin at this moment.

  (Thanks for your opinion, but it's still too early to jump to conclusions. I need to accumulate more content and can't post what I've written so far yet. Keep reading on and you'll understand. Also, regarding the issue of Qianlong that Shanxia mentioned, the background is in a different world, where Qianlong was an ancient grassland emperor who dedicated his life to unifying the grasslands and didn't have time to invade, so there's no deep-seated hatred to speak of.)
