Chapter 123: Rebirth

“I have official business to attend to, so it’s inconvenient for me to meet with Xingping County Head.”Yang Shao refused mercilessly. There was nothing more important than protecting Emperor Yu Heng here. If he lured the tiger away from the mountain and something went wrong, the responsibility would be on him.
Moreover, he did not believe that the Second Lady of the Xiao family would know about his future. His future lay with Emperor Yu Heng in the temple. He only knew that as long as he made the slightest mistake, he would not be able to keep the title of general that he had fought for. He would not be able to return to the Jiangxia Prince’s mansion, and he would be beaten back to his original state and continue to live a poor life.
How could Xiao Jing ‘ai give up so easily? This was a rare opportunity for her. If she missed this opportunity, the Xiao family would guard her even more strictly. She might not even have a chance to breathe again.
” General Yang, I beg you. It’s really important. I just need the time to make a cup of tea…”
Yang Shao became more and more impatient.” Please go back to Xingping County Lord. It’s not suitable for a man and a woman to meet each other. Please have some self-respect.””
Xiao Jing ‘ai felt wronged. Her eyes were red and tears were about to fall.
These words were too harsh.
She had always wanted to leave a good impression in front of Yang Shao, and had always done so. However, things did not go as she wished. First, she was humiliated by Xiao Baoxin on the spot in Scholarflower Alley. Now, she fled because of her obsession, but she was slapped in the face on the spot. He told her to respect herself because he thought she was too frivolous. In her previous life, she had suffered such a loss. In Yang Shao’s heart, she had taken the initiative to seduce her and pushed all of Xiao Baoxin’s determination onto her. This was the truth that even after he ascended the throne and protected her left and right, she was still not doted on.
He thought that her frivolity had directly led to the conflict between him and Xiao Baoxin, and he had always treated her as a disaster.
Xiao Baoxin was the white moonlight in his heart. Even if he had a good relationship with another woman, it was still the other woman’s fault.
If she could, she would like to ask her how a slap could make a sound, but in her previous life, she had to rely on him, so she did not dare. In this life, she had to strike first to gain the upper hand. She had to keep her demure and demure image and maintain her image, so she did not dare to do so.
She could only whimper her nose aggrievedly and blink her almond-shaped eyes pitifully.
“General Yang, I beg you, I really–Xingping County Head really has something extremely important, something that concerns a life. Really, just give me ten minutes–no, half a minute. If I don’t say this today, I’m afraid 1 won’t have the chance again.”
She didn’t dare to make too much noise, afraid that she would attract the Xiao Manor’s guards to capture her, so when she spoke, she tried her best to lower her voice and subconsciously looked around.
Xue Mu was shocked. It couldn’t be General Yang’s lover in private who came looking for him.
Was it blocked at this juncture?
“.. Why don’t you go talk to that person? We’re still here.”
The guards scattered in the distance were paying close attention to the temple. Xiao Jing ‘ai was standing there alone, so how could they ignore her? They all frowned.
No matter what reason she was holding onto Yang Shao, she was too blind.
He saw Yang Shao guarding the courtyard door. How could he not know who was inside?
He dared to pull for so long in front of everyone. He was also shameless.
Those who were closer had already approached the temple, and in an instant, there were four or five more people.
“Why don’t you settle your own matters first, General Yang?”The one who spoke up to persuade him was the one who was usually on good terms with Yang Shao.
“With us here, nothing will happen.”
Yang Shao’s anger had reached its peak. If it wasn’t for the fact that Xiao Jing ‘ai was a weak woman who dared to insult him like this, he would have kicked her away.
He vaguely knew that she had some feelings for him, but he was annoyed by this kind of girl who couldn’t tell the situation and only cared about herself. Was it good for him to be a servant in front of the emperor? It was rare for him to come out, so it was a good opportunity for him to perform. He was a general who joined the pavilion later. He was far from the tacit understanding they had cultivated over the years, but the Emperor still brought him to a close position. It was clear that he had always remembered that he had fought one against three and that his martial arts were extraordinary. He trusted him.
However, what was wrong with Xiao Jing ‘ai?
“No need-”
“Go, go. If we really make a scene and our Langjun hears it, I’m afraid it won’t be good.”Everyone tried to persuade him with good intentions. Of course, there were also some who had long disliked him.
Yang Shao also knew this logic. With Xiao Jing ‘ai’s stubbornness, he was afraid that he would not be able to persuade her to leave in a short time. He could not really kick her away, so he could only hold back his anger and cupped his hands to everyone.
“I’ll have to trouble you to return to the city. I’ll treat you to a drink. Today…
I’ve made a fool of myself in front of everyone.”
With that, she strode toward the forest. Xiao Jing ‘ai wiped her tears and followed closely behind.
The grove was right next to the temple, so it was hard not to notice it.
However, she couldn’t care less. She was afraid that if she continued to pick a place, Yang Shao would really leave.
“General Yang’s luck with women isn’t shallow.”
“What maid? Have you ever seen a maid with such fair skin and such beauty? It’s clearly her.”
No one had heard Xiao Jing ‘ai claim to be the maid of the Xingping County Head, so Xue Mu thought it was true. After hearing what they said, he suddenly realized that the little lady was the Xingping County Head?
“Yo yo yo, what did that Lil ‘Miss say to scare our General Yang to sit on the ground?”
His words were purely exaggerated. Yang Shao only took a few steps back and leaned against the tree. However, the shock on his face could not be deceived. He was indeed frightened.
“Don’t tell me you’re saying that I’m pregnant?”Everyone was used to fooling around, so they didn’t care when they teased.
“Then, won’t our banquet be changed to a wedding banquet?” someone asked. Hahahaha…”

“Wait!” Yang Shao panted for a while, his face pale from fright. “You, you, you must be joking! This joke was not to be joked about. It was a great crime to exterminate nine clans!”
What rebirth? What ascension? Bullshit!
He was just a lowly military general, and it was already very glorious for him to be conferred the title of a third-grade general. It was a high official and generous salary that his ancestors had never had. Of course, he also wanted to have the opportunity to ride on the battlefield and command thousands of troops.
However, the idea of deposing the emperor and establishing himself had never appeared in his mind. He only wanted to be a loyal minister and a good general to stand out!
“Are you crazy?”Yang Shao said angrily. If he was crazy, it was understandable. If he deliberately made fun of him, this person’s heart would be black.
“I’m not crazy. I’m just telling you the truth. Otherwise, do you think I, the dignified Xingping County Head, would get close to you for no reason and take the initiative to come to your door? You’re just a general from a humble family.. There are countless people in Jiankang City because…The feelings between us in our previous lives?”
