Chapter 1051: The Heartless, Soulless Bastard

First Volume, Chapter 1051: The Heartless, Soulless Bastard

"Aren't we about to set off for Jingdu? Once we return, we can complete the marriage alliance—even if you gave me a hundred pairs of balls, I'd never betray Xiaolan and Qian Ying."

"Besides, even if you're eager to get married, you don't have to be this desperate, do you? You'd rather grow wings and fly back?"

"Hehe, with the main force's marching speed, it'll take at least one or two months to reach Jingdu—if we get delayed along the way, it might even take three."

Shen Qingci already pitied her younger sister and longed to fly back to Liang right now.

But hearing Qin Feng's words, she instantly flew into a rage.

"What?!"

"Three months? By then, you'll be a father!"

"You, you—you're so careless! Do you want to drive me to death?"

Shen Qingci grabbed Qin Feng's ear with her left hand and slammed his forehead hard with her right, making him grimace in pain.

Even so, Shen Qingci remained furious.

"Not three months—not even one month!"

"You've always been heartless and shameless; my two younger sisters won't suffer because of you."

"When your bodies change shape, even a blind man will notice—aren't you afraid of being mocked? What about Xiaolan and Qian Ying?"

After being scolded by Shen Qingci from head to toe, Qin Feng finally came to his senses.

To be honest, he'd been busy with Bei Di matters lately and hadn't had time to consider the return journey; in his view, as long as they got back safely, it was fine—he didn't care about Feng Zi Qin Shen.

But the problem was precisely this: Qin Feng didn't care, but that didn't mean Li Xiaolan and Jing Qianying didn't.

The two younger sisters not caring didn't mean Elder Sister and Second Sister didn't care either.

You can't think only of yourself—you must consider the bigger picture.

After thinking it over, Qin Feng nodded firmly: "Elder Sister, you're right. If we follow the main force, it'll take too long."

"Xiaolan is Princess of Liang, Qian Ying is Bei Di Nü Huang—if they carry this stain, won't they be mocked for half their lives?"

"How about this: I'll have Ning Hu and Xu Mo escort the main force back to Liang according to the original plan."

"We'll travel lightly equipped, moving as fast as possible while ensuring safety."

Hearing this, Shen Qingci's expression finally softened.

"Hmph, you finally got it—you almost killed me with that nonsense."

"Fine, hurry and arrange it—I'll go notify those girls right away."

Seeing Shen Qingci about to leave, Qin Feng grabbed her wrist with a wide grin.

"Elder Sister, there's something I need to discuss with you first."

Shen Qingci knew Qin Feng too well—seeing him grin so shamelessly, she knew he had no good intentions.

But who was she but his Elder Sister?

Shen Qingci sighed and asked: "What now?"

Qin Feng's smile widened: "Since we're splitting from the main force and traveling alone, speed isn't an issue—so… I'd like to delay one more day."

"Just one day!"

Shen Qingci's face dropped instantly: "Don't tell me you want to go back to sleep again."

Feeling Shen Qingci's murderous gaze, Qin Feng shook his head like a rattle, quickly explaining: "Even if we travel separately, we still have too many people."

"Just the women: five of them. Add me, servants, relatives, and Tianji Camp Guards—there's at least a hundred people."

"I don't want to ride separately from Xiaolan and Qian Ying."

Hearing this, Shen Qingci frowned slightly: "Then I'll leave?"

Qin Feng immediately hugged her arm and grinned apologetically: "I don't want to be separated from Elder Sister either."

"Hehe, here's my idea—this is still the Di Royal Capital, full of skilled craftsmen."

"Let's just spend money to build a giant carriage—we'll all ride in one."

Shen Qingci gave him a disgusted look: "You're always up to no good!"

Qin Feng patted his chest, putting on a righteous face and swearing: "I won't do anything improper!"

"Besides, building the carriage is for Xiaolan and Qian Ying's sake."

"The journey ahead is long and bumpy—what if something goes wrong? After all, Xiaolan and Qian Ying are both pregnant."

"A proper setup won't just make Xiaolan and Qian Ying more comfortable—it'll benefit us too. What do you say?"

No matter how Qin Feng spun it, he couldn't change Shen Qingci's mind.

That brat was up to no good again!

If he truly cared for Xiaolan and Qian Ying, he could have put each of them in their own carriage and decorated it beautifully.

Why force everyone to cram together unless he was scheming?

But right now, as long as they returned to Liang quickly, Shen Qingci would agree to anything.

"Hmph! One day only—if you go over, I'll punish you!"

Seeing Shen Qingci finally agree, Qin Feng cheered and slapped his chest, vowing he wouldn't delay again.

Qin Feng immediately summoned Ning Hu and Xu Mo and laid out his plan to split up.

He expected resistance, but the outcome surprised him.

They agreed with startling eagerness.

Especially Ning Hu, who didn't hide his contempt: "Brother Qin, I thought you were actually going to march with us."

"Good thing you pulled back from the cliff—if you hadn't, Third Miss and Fourth Miss would've become a laughingstock of Heaven!"

"I was even talking with Xu Mo—we were ready to tie you up and toss you into a carriage."

Next to him, Xu Mo stifled a smirk.

"Got punished by the young lady, didn't you? Serves you right!"

Qin Feng stared at the two of them in a daze. He hadn't expected that everyone had already considered this problem—yet Qin Feng himself, the one directly involved, was still foolishly taking his sweet time.

Still, since everyone had thought along the same lines, this matter would be much easier to handle.

"Little Marquis, Xu Mo—I'll leave the main force to you two."

"After all, this isn't just a simple march; we're also dragging along a large number of commoners. The journey will definitely be extremely difficult, and the task is heavy. Sorry to trouble you two."

Ning Hu and Xu Mo exchanged a glance and said in unison: "Nonsense!"

"Are we still good brothers if you say things like that?"

"Brother Qin, you're really growing more and more distant."

"No—more and more hypocritical."

Ning Hu's face was full of contempt: "If you truly couldn't set your mind at ease about your brothers, how could you leave the heir apparent to garrison the Northern Di?"

Qin Feng pretended he hadn't heard and just kept on saying: "Help me find the biggest horse carriage!"

Xu Mo actually rolled his eyes outright: "Do I even need you to say that? Xu Mo and I already snatched the Beixi County War Hero's horse carriage long ago."

"Even the royal decorations on it have been stripped clean—it's ready to use right away."

Qin Feng's eyes lit up: "Could the two of you be foretelling the future?"

Ning Hu curled his lip: "It's not that the two of us are foretelling the future—it's that you, you bastard, are far too heartless and careless."
