Chapter 52: The Righteousness of Friendship

  The third watch, for "Wind Horn" alliance lord He. Thank you!

  Sanjiang ticket, a little intimidated by San Shao's Douyu live streaming, but my motivation tells me that I must not back down when facing a great god! Please help me out, friends!

  It's great to see you again, but why are your eyes red?

  The smoke of the chaotic battle dispersed, Qin Kan raised an eyebrow at Xu Pengju, who grumbled in discontent. He hated being outsmarted, and even more so by the same person.

  "Pizza..." Qin Kan whispered in Xu Pengju's ear, only saying two words. Xu Pengju's body shook violently, and he retreated with a scowl, accompanied by his servants and slaves.

  In this battle, both the Brocade Guard and the Wei State Duke's Mansion suffered heavy losses, with neither side gaining much advantage.

  The dust settled, and General Tu's flag, which had been fighting bravely, lay on the ground, barely breathing, waiting for rescue by Lang Zhong...

  Tu Zongqi was lifted onto the stretcher, Qin Kan bowed his head and said with deep concern: "General Tu is brave in battle, a true warrior. Go home and take good care of your injuries, even if it takes a year or two to recover, it's not a big deal. Your body is the capital for fighting, don't be careless. Don't worry about things at the hundred households, brothers will think of you..."

  Tu Zong's flag fell into a coma and was carried away by his brothers.

  He casually pointed at a small flag under the Commander-in-Chief's flag: "You, what's your name?"

  Xiao Qi was stunned and said: "Understood, Li Er."

  "Alright, Li Er, I appoint you as acting commander of the vanguard, during Commander Tu's convalescence, you will be in charge of his position."

  Li Er's eyes widened in shock for a long time, then he was overjoyed and knelt down with a thud: "I, Biao Xia, am willing to die for Lord Qin!"

  Kneeling on one side, his eyes still followed the stretcher carrying Director Tu's body until it disappeared.

  Very good, internal rectification is complete.

  As expected, General Tu's injury is unlikely to recover. Even if it does, Li Er will definitely find a way to make it worse...

  Qin Kan suddenly felt a bit of toothache, he found himself becoming more and more evil, this is not good, should pull up Xiao Gong Ye together to reflect on themselves.

  Standing calmly in the courtyard, Qin Kan wore a flying fish brocade robe, standing quietly with his hands behind his back. The gentle breeze blew by, rustling the hem of his robe as it fluttered lightly, looking like a jade tree swaying in the wind, outstanding and unmatched.

  His subordinates who were cleaning up the battlefield finally had a few points of respect and fear in their eyes.

  Since the dawn of the Ming dynasty, there has never been a hundred-household officer like you who dares to confront the Wei State Duke's mansion in Nanjing with his subordinates and is not afraid to fight to the death with the young master. Except for you, sir, it is absolutely unprecedented. Following such a protective superior to do errands, even if I were beaten to death, I would die contentedly!

  Unconsciously, Qin Kan had established his own prestige in the hundred households.

  Of course, this is trampling on Xiao Gongzi's face.

  In just a few days, the news that a small hundred households of the Brocade Guard had dared to fight with the young master's house servant had spread throughout Nanjing.

  There are those who doubt, there are those who are shocked, and there are those who mock.

  Of course, there are also those who put Qin Kan's name on the longevity plaque, which belongs to the kind of family that was bullied by Xiao Gongye, similar to the meaning of drawing circles and cursing.

  Young Master's face can't be trampled on, these days Young Master's temper has been very violent, Qin Kan guessed that he might want to send someone to knock himself unconscious, but looking at his friend's face, he didn't dare to take action.

  The wind is gentle and the sun is bright. The late day scenery is beautiful, with spring breeze and fragrant flowers and grass.

  On a sunny day, Qin Kan invited Xiao Gongzi to meet at Fuzi Temple on the north bank of Qinhuai River.

  The young master was still arrogant, before seeing anyone, the sound was heard first, and far away, there were guards using knife sheaths to open up the people blocking the road in front of the temple, and the crowd surrounded the young master with his nose facing the sky, shouting and opening the way, swaggering over.

  Still the same familiar scoundrel appearance, even the guards' angry gaze and desire to draw their swords upon seeing Qin Kan were just like before in Shaoxing.

  Qin Kan really wanted to keep a straight face, but seeing Xu Peng's arrogant expression with no one in sight, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  It's quite cute when you're being arrogant.

  Xiao Gongzi's face fell when he saw Qin Kan, clearly dissatisfied with Qin Kan's behavior of plotting against him again.

  Bang!

  A pedestrian who blocked the way was kicked flying by Young Master Xiao himself.

  "What's wrong with you, are you blind? Can't you see that you're blocking my way?" Xu Peng shouted angrily.

  "It's been a long time since we last met, young master is still as elegant and refined as ever..." Qin Kan praised with joined hands.

  Xu Pengju's face turned ugly, and he snorted: "That's right, I've always been proud... You're not bad either, you didn't make a fortune in Shaoxing, but came to Nanjing to cheat people? How did you inexplicably get into the Imperial Guard? And you're a scholar, what a waste!"

  Qin Kan sighed: "It's hard to say, I'm still confused until now, who is so cruel to get me into the Imperial Guard, is someone trying to ruin me?"

  "Why did you deliberately make yourself a Bai Hu just to destroy me? Do you know how hard it is to be a Bai Hu in the Jin Yi Wei?" Xu Peng's dissatisfaction grew as he spoke: "You can be a Bai Hu, but why do you need to step on my face to solidify your position? Am I an idiot?"

  Qin Kan sighed deeply and said, "Can the young master please talk some sense? Obviously it was you who brought a group of thugs to my doorstep looking for trouble, so why is everything my fault now?"

  Xu Pengju was taken aback by the words, the overbearing tone, "If I bring people to smash you, you'd better obediently take it, resisting is not giving me face..." However, Qin Kan is a friend, and even the young master wouldn't dare say such despicable words.

  He violently swung his sleeve and Xu Peng shouted in a fierce tone: "You called me out today, are you planning to apologize to me privately?"

  Qin Kan sighed even louder: "Why do people always like to put gold on their own faces? Since I have occupied the moral high ground, how can I possibly apologize?"

  "What did you bring me out here for?"

  "I just wanted to borrow money from Young Master Xiao..." Qin Kan smiled shyly.

  Xu Peng raised an eyebrow and sucked in a breath of cool air: "You stepped on my face and didn't even apologize, yet you still have the nerve to ask me for money? Are you crazy or am I?"

  "We're not fools, Tongcai is a friend's righteousness, has Little Gong forgotten that we are friends?"

  Xu Peng was stunned for a while, looked up at the sky and sighed: "How did I end up recognizing you as this kind of friend?"

  "Maybe Little Gongzi has done evil in his past life..." Qin Kan sympathetically looked at him: "In the next life, when making friends, be sure to see through his heart and lungs before making a decision..."

  "Your advice makes sense..." Xu Peng nodded in agreement and couldn't help but burst out laughing, his laughter growing louder.

  "When I first met you, I couldn't tell that you were such a shameless person. If I had known earlier, I would have asked someone to break your legs before talking to you."

  Qin Kan stroked his nose and smiled wryly: "A person who deceives people with a familiar face actually says that others are shameless, what's wrong with this world?"

  "Go on, why did you borrow money from me?"

  "It's only because you owe others money that they will respectfully treat you like a grandmaster, and won't start yelling and fighting as soon as they see you..."

  Xu Pengju was stunned again, and after a moment of contemplation, he muttered: "It's strange, why does every sentence you say seem like nonsense at first, but makes sense when I think about it carefully?"

  Staring at Qin Kan in a strange way, Xu Peng sighed and said: "He's really a talented person, having children should be like having Qin Xiucai..."

  "I dare not agree with what you just said, young master."

  "Why?"

  "If the son of Young Master in his next life is really like me, I'd jump into the Yellow River and still can't wash it clean......" Qin Kan looked at Xu Pengju very sincerely: "......I don't even know what Young Master's wife looks like, this black pot I definitely can't carry."
