Chapter 406: Painful and joyful happiness!
"Master, please drink some water!"
Lan Ruo picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Li Changsheng.
Li Changsheng did not reach out to take it.
At this moment, he had not yet recovered from the shock.
Seeing that the situation was too embarrassing, Lan Ruo bit her lip and whispered again.
"Master, the water is coming!"
Li Changsheng suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly took the tea handed to him by Lan Ruo.
At this moment, he was no longer the general who planned strategies and won battles from thousands of miles away.
It's a child who did something wrong.
Obviously at a loss.
"Lan Ruo, I'm sorry, I was drunk and did something I shouldn't have done to you!"
Upon hearing this, Lan Ruo hurriedly said, "Master, this is all Lan Ruo's own will. It's none of your business!"
Li Changsheng was stunned when he heard this.
"Ah, you volunteered?"
Lan Ruo's face flushed with shame, and even her snow-white neck felt hot.
She nodded gently, and in a voice so low that she herself might not be able to hear it clearly, she moaned, "Well, Lan Ruo volunteered!"
Lan Ruo's frankness made Li Changsheng a little at a loss.
After a long silence, he finally said, "Don't worry, I will be responsible for you sisters!"
Lan Ruo smiled gently, with two dimples on her blushing cheeks, making her look innocent and naive.
Just when the scene was becoming awkward, Li Changsheng suddenly caught a glimpse of two rustling figures outside the window.
Seeing this, he quickly made a shushing gesture towards Lan Ruo.
Then, move forward quickly.
He suddenly opened the door.
Two figures who were listening in the corner were so focused that they fell in without paying attention.
"Ouch!"
"Ouch!"
Li Changsheng looked down at the two of them and asked, "Yurou, Lanzhi, what are you two doing?"
Yurou and Lanzhi, like elementary school students who had done something wrong and were caught by their teacher, smiled awkwardly at Li Changsheng.
When Li Changsheng was alone, although Lan Ruo was very shy, she was able to muster up the courage to face him.
But now he saw other people, especially his own sister Lanzhi was present.
She was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, and she crawled into the quilt like an ostrich.
When Li Changsheng saw Lanzhi and Yurou appear, he understood.
Lan Ruo appeared on her bed in a daze, and it was most likely the work of the two of them.
Seeing the awkward situation, he deliberately coughed twice and said, "Ahem, Lan Ruo isn't feeling well. You two should go out first and don't disturb her rest here!"
Lanzhi and Yurou smiled at each other, both with a naughty expression that said "I understand".
Seeing this, Li Changsheng really had no way to deal with the two of them and could only shake his head helplessly.
He had just sent Yurou and Lanzhi away when he suddenly heard Du Dalong coming hurriedly to report.
It’s said that Fan Qiang and Zhang Da are back!
Li Changsheng was quite surprised that these two people were able to come back alive.
"Tell them to wait in the reception hall. I'll be there shortly!"
After Du Dalong left, Li Changsheng took a look at Lan Ruo who was still curled up in the quilt.
"Lan Ruo, you should have a good rest first. I have something to do, so I'll go take care of it first!"
Lan Ruo nodded obediently in the quilt and made a "hmm" sound with her nose.
Li Changsheng had just left when Lanzhi and Yurou came back.
Lanzhi came up and asked impatiently: "Sister, how do you feel now?"
Lan Ruo blushed with shame and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Yu Rou smiled charmingly and asked with interest, "Now you know what it feels like?"
Lan Ruo: “…”
She closed her eyes and savored the feeling.
A curved arc appeared at the corner of his mouth inadvertently.
It is a kind of happy feeling of pain and joy!
……
When Li Changsheng rushed to the reception hall, Fan Qiang and Zhang Da were already waiting there.
However, the expressions of both of them seemed a little unnatural.
There was no surprise of any great achievement.
This expression is actually very awkward.
Seeing this scene, Li Changsheng understood what was going on.
The feelings are here, playing Mission Impossible with me!
However, he did not expose it.
Instead, he calmly stepped forward, laughed heartily, and said, "Thanks to the two generals' great assistance this time, I will definitely commend you both to the court. When the time comes, you will be granted official titles, noble rank, and wealth and honor, without a doubt!"
After saying that, he clapped his hands vigorously.
Soon, his men came in carrying two boxes of silver.
"This is my promise. After the task is completed, I will give you two a reward."
"After this rebellion is completely quelled, the imperial court will grant even more generous rewards. I guarantee you two won't be disappointed!"
However, Fan Qiang and Zhang Da were not very interested in the huge amount of silver.
After all, they both knew it very well in their hearts.
The most urgent priority is to save lives.
For these material possessions, you have to have the life to earn them and the life to spend them.
The two of them greeted each other politely after a brief greeting.
Fan Qiang carefully considered his words and asked tentatively, "Commander Li, we have already completed what you asked us to do. Can you give us the antidote to the Heartbreak Powder?"
Zhang Da stared at Li Changsheng with eyes as big as copper bells, not daring to blink.
Li Changsheng patted the back of his head and said with a smile: "Look at my memory, I almost forgot about this important matter!"
After saying that, he took out a jade porcelain bottle and handed it over.
"Here is the antidote to the Heartbreak Powder. I only acted in an emergency before. I'm afraid I may have offended you, but please don't take it to heart, Generals!"
After Li Changsheng finished speaking, he clasped his fists and bowed to Fan Qiang and Zhang Da to express his apology.
Seeing this, Fan Qiang and Zhang Da hurriedly took the jade porcelain bottle containing the antidote and hurriedly returned a salute to Li Changsheng.
Then, they exchanged glances and took the antidote one after another.
But not long after taking the antidote, Fan Qiang and Zhang Da suddenly felt dizzy and weak all over.
"Oh no, this antidote is poisonous..."
"Li Changsheng, you broke your promise and actually poisoned us!"
After a round of cursing, the two of them actually wanted to fight Li Changsheng to the death.
Upon seeing this, Du Dalong immediately drew the sword from his waist and used the shining blade to point at Fan Qiang and Zhang Da.
Judging from the situation, as long as Fan Qiang and Zhang Da make the slightest move, they will be chopped into pieces on the spot.
Seeing this, Li Changsheng waved at Du Dalong.
"Du Dalong, what are you doing? Put the knife away!"
After saying this, he smiled apologetically and said, "Generals, I forgot to tell you just now. After taking the antidote for this Broken Heart Powder, you will experience side effects such as dizziness and weakness in your limbs."
"However, you don't have to worry too much. After an hour or two, these side effects will fade away and everything will be back to normal!"
"How about this, you two take a good rest first, I'll be here to bother you for now!"
After Li Changsheng finished speaking, he stood up and left without waiting for Fan Qiang and Zhang Da to reply.
Seeing that Fan Qiang and Zhang Da were still skeptical, Du Dalong said unhappily:
"Humph, if my master really wanted to kill you, this knife of mine would be enough to send you on your way. Why bother with this, taking off your pants to fart, what a waste of time?"
After saying that, he suddenly put the shining blade back into the scabbard, making a crisp sound of metal collision.
The sound of the collision made Fan Qiang and Zhang Da's hearts tremble.
At this moment, they also felt that what Du Dalong said made some sense.
If Li Changsheng really wanted to kill them, it would be as easy as crushing an ant.
It shouldn't be so troublesome.
Thinking of this, the two of them looked at each other, and the hearts that were hanging in their throats slowly settled back into their stomachs.
After their tense nerves gradually relaxed, they both collapsed to the ground as if exhausted...
