Misha shook her head.
Qi Xiaomian let out a sigh of relief, allowing the horse to lag behind a step and keeping pace with the carriage window.
Before he could ask anything, a corner of the curtain was lifted, revealing half of Sang Qingxiao's pretty face, which seemed to be pouting in anger.
"Are you hurt?"
"Qi Xiaomian, what is your relationship with Zhou Yunjin?"
"What? Did he upset you?"
"Is he your friend?"
Qi Xiaomian pondered what could have happened to make this little troublemaker so angry. Counting the days, it seemed they must have run into each other outside the city. Given Sang Qingxiao's temperament, it was likely that Zhou Yunjin had come off worse in their encounter.
He decided to play a little mind game. "Miss Sang, I hope I am what you wish me to be; if not, then I am not."
"Playing mind games with me?"
"I am just clarifying my position with the lady."
Sang Qingxiao shot him a glare. "Qi Xiaomian, I heard from Qilang that the Zhou family wants to marry into two marquesses?"
"As for court matters, we should discuss them privately."
Sang Qingxiao didn’t care about that. "Qi Xiaomian, if Zhou Yunjin is granted a marquessate this time and stands on equal footing with you, then your title will be nothing but a joke!"
Her words were rather harsh. What kind of conflict had they gotten into?
Qi Xiaomian probed cautiously, "Miss Sang, why do you say that?"
Sang Qingxiao pulled the curtain open completely. "Look for yourself!"
Qi Xiaomian turned his head to take a glance and immediately recognized the source of the bloodshed. It appeared to be Black General.
"Hmph! Why is Black General injured? And why is it here with you?"
This matter was complicated. To put it simply, Black General had been exposed as a demon beast and was framed for killing a fake Black General. Zhou Yunjin clearly knew the truth but chose to turn a blind eye, allowing his subordinates to chase after Black General in the name of revenge. They had encountered them in the suburbs of the capital.
Ridiculous! Just because the Black General is a demon?
Qi Xiaomian was equally furious upon hearing this, perhaps because he could relate; after all, he himself was a Half-Demon.
So, if someone like that is granted a title, doesn’t that make your marquisate a joke? Rest assured, he won’t be able to achieve it.
Sang Qingxiao then revealed his plan: "Qi Xiaomian, I intend to spread the word about the Black General."
Qi Xiaomian immediately understood his meaning and replied, "I’ll handle it."
As they conversed, they arrived at the entrance of the Small Tavern. Everyone wanted to carry Li Cu inside, but as soon as they moved him, he started spitting blood again. When he lay flat, the bleeding stopped.
You treated his internal injuries all the way here and ended up with this?
Sang Qingxiao angrily questioned Old Vine, causing the two little ones outside to burst into tears at the sight of Li Cu's condition.
There has to be a process to healing; we were only focused on saving his life just now, not on full treatment.
Hearing the commotion outside, Qi Xiaomian guessed what was happening inside and suggested, "I’ll go get a stretcher from The Office of Censors."
Qi Xiaomian returned quickly, bringing along Qilang and Qi Shuo. Without greeting anyone, they entered the carriage and exchanged glances with Old Vine, whom they had never met before.
