You don’t seem to have a strong sense of revenge,” Ye Hui pointed to a laid-out felt mat and said, “Sit down and have something to eat. There were too many guests burning incense today, and I’ve been busy for a long time. You must be starving, right?”
Facai knew that the old lady had a good temper and didn’t need to put on airs in front of her. He said thanks and plopped down, picking up a meat skewer and wolfing it down.
Just then, deep in the bamboo forest, a woman’s voice could be heard.
“Nong Qing, go check the surroundings. If there are outsiders, immediately drive them out. I, the county mistress, want to drink freely in this bamboo forest. What’s so great about Tianying Mountain? My father insisted on coming, and we’ve been traveling for two days, exhausting me to the point of falling apart.”
It was the West Lin County Mistress! Facai said in a low voice.
Ye Hui nodded. The West Lin County Mistress’s guards were skilled in martial arts, so it was not surprising that they could enter. Although she had only seen her a few times, the county mistress always spoke with an overbearing tone, with an air of “I’m the county mistress, who would dare to challenge me?” How could she not remember?
“The old hometown of Sha Zhou is still the best. We only have a few thousand Tujue troops left in Sha Zhou City. Even if we killed them all, it wouldn’t be difficult. But the Prince of Chu is cold and heartless, with a vicious heart. He watches us homeless, suffering from others’ cold shoulders, and refuses to send troops to kill the Tujue people.”
“The county mistress is right. The Prince of Chu is inhumane.”
Through the gaps in the bamboo leaves, Ye Hui saw the West Lin County Mistress cursing more fiercely, kicking a bamboo pole so hard that the entire bamboo tree swayed. However, after kicking, she didn’t even cry out in pain, her face turning iron-blue and silent.
Moqi said disdainfully, “Look at her, still dressed like before, as if she wants to strip herself naked.”
