A Journey Against the World
Chapter 118

Chi Su stared at Shua Xie's departure with a confused look, confused at what Shua Xie had said just now. Regarding the young men it will be his soldiers someday.

Why is Shua Xie talking like that? thought Chi Su. But he did not want to flash long with his thoughts. Chi Su began to walk after Shua Xie who was walking quite far away from him.

When Shua Xie's footsteps had already stepped on the top floor, Shua Xie circulated his gaze staring at the atmosphere of the third floor quite peacefully from the first and second floors. Or perhaps Shua Xie could say quite lonely from his conjecture.

Shua Xie continued to follow the steps of the Kun youth troupe that he followed, until finally the troupe stopped right on a wooden bench. They were all sitting on that chair, Shua Xie was the same as well, but Shua Xie chose another chair that was in the corner of the room. He did not want to join the group let alone there was Laila the chatty woman. Shua Xie needs calm. Together with the group of young people it will only make a storm.

Chi Su landed her hongkong beside Shua Xie while observing the surroundings.

"What is Miss looking for on this floor? Didn't the first and second floors also sell weapons?" chi Su asked in a whispering voice, not wanting his words to be heard by many people. Because he thinks his talk with Shua Xie is privacy.

Shua Xie did not take his eyes off, looking at the two glances of his eyes staring intently at a red-stained door guarded by two bodyguards.

"What does the Xuilin kingdom look like is a shortage of weapons until we have to buy in this pavilion?" reply Shua Xie brief. Chi Su should have understood from the beginning, the arrival of Shua Xie to the Wuki Pavilion was not for weapons, but something more useful.

Chi Su was silent for a moment thinking about Shua Xie's reply just now. What Shua Xie said was indeed true, the Xuilin kingdom would not be short of weapons given that the Xuilin kingdom had an undisclosed copper and gold mine.

Then why would Shua Xie go to Wuki Pavilion? What exactly was Shua Xie's goal?

Chi Su looked at Shua Xie quite intensely while deepening his own thoughts. Trying to guess what has happened to Shua Xie, since the incident Shua Xie was punished in the back shed. Shua Xie became drastic, no longer weak and thought low. And now Shua Xie seemed to have his own plan outside the minds of many people.

Whatever happened to Shua Xie, Chi Su could not guess. But one thing that became his belief, his obedience to Shua Xie would not fade.

"Then what was the purpose of Miss coming here?" qi Chi Su asked with a pretty serious face.

Shua Xie snorted softly as he turned to look at Chi Su, not forgetting that Shua Xie also gave him his trademark smile.

"You'll find out later," Shua Xie replied.

The arrival of Zhang Ziyi along with his troops along with the Regent of Qionglin made a slight commotion of the central gate of the Security Bureau . One of the other Security Bureau chiefs came to approach Zhang Ziyi with a face full of questions.

"Why is there Regent Qionglin with you? What has Regent Qionglin done?" asked the young man of Zhang Ziyi's age. He was Su Ho from the Ho Family.

Zhang Ziyi stopped when Su Ho stopped him. Zhang Ziyi's facial complexion was still as cold as when he left the original place he had captured Regent Qionglin.

Zhang Ziyi looked at Su Ho calmly, "Have the criminals been brought here, right?" zhang Ziyi's reply was full of emphasis, as if stressing that Regent Qionglin had committed a crime that Su Ho should not have known.

Su Ho fell silent, not giving any expression. It looked quite relaxed as if he already knew the matter of Regent Qionglin. But in her heart she asked quite loudly.

What mistake had the Regent Qionglin made?

Su Ho turned to look at Regent Qionglin, he could see Regent Qionglin coming with quite an embarrassing state for a Regent. Su Ho could confirm, the injuries suffered by Regent Qionglin were very severe, visible from the blood spots on his shirt, as well as his broken legs and hands.

"Did you hit Regent Qionglin?" su Ho asked after seeing that Regent Qionglin's condition was extremely miserable. He was sure that someone had just beaten up Regent Qionglin.

Zhang Ziyi's gaze became sharp towards Su Ho. It was very dislikeful of Su Ho to ask too much, "An officer has no right to hit a suspect unless the suspect has committed a major crime. Do you understand that, Su Ho?" reply Zhang Ziyi coldly.

Once again Zhang Ziyi stressed, whatever happened to Qionglinit was due to his own mistakes.

Not wanting to make trouble, Su Ho let Zhang Ziyi and his entourage go inside bringing Qionglin to the prison.

Zhang Ziyi walked back in with his troops who led the Regent of Qionglin to the prison. During their journey, many other officers watched Zhang Ziyi with his entourage with all sorts of gazes.

Yet their questions were all the same, why was Regent Qionglin taken to prison? What crime has he committed?

Zhang Ziyi took Qionglin to a low-level prison, or prison where he still received good service from Security Bureau officials. At the very least Qionglin still got some mercy after making the Fifth Princess angry.

After opening one of the iron bars doors, Zhang Ziyi ordered his troops to bring in the Regent of Qionglin and lay him on a wooden mattress.

After laying down the Qionglin Regent, Zhang Ziyi asked his troops to wait outside the cell.

"Officer Zhang, uhuk .. uhuk." Qionglin looked at Zhang Ziyi weakly accompanied by a cough of blood that was getting worse, "I'll give you whatever you want, as long as you want to set me free," he continued in a soft voice so that the other officers did not hear him.

Zhang Ziyi's gaze turned to stare outside the cell, slightly surprised when Regent Qionglin said such a thing, what if another officer heard it? There may be misunderstandings later. After making sure no one heard Regent Qionglin's words just now, Zhang Ziyi looked back at Qionglin.

"Regent Qionglin, are you aware of what you're saying?" reply Zhang Ziyi coldly.

Qionglin carved out a small smile, those fading glare of eyes staring at Zhang Ziyi full of hope. Hoping that Zhang Ziyi would accept his offer. Qionglin had issued a card that he often used to bribe other government officials.

"I've made a lot of mistakes, I'm sure Princess to Five must want to avenge her past problems" Qionglin muttered in ending with a bitter smile.

Zhang Ziyi silently did not give any response, his gaze towards Qionglin grew even colder. It was as if it did not care about Qionglin's words just now.

Seeing Zhang Ziyi silent, Qionglin again spoke, "I will give you whatever you want, but on condition that you should be able to help me out."

Qionglin continued to expose a hopeful look at Zhang Ziyi, desperately hoping that Zhang Ziyi would help him.

Zhang Ziyi crouched down before Qionglin with a faint smile that gave hope, "Ruler Qionglin, I am very happy for your offer. Are you sure you'll grant all my requests?" reply Zhang Ziyi with a small grin.

Qionglin smiled at Zhang Ziyi's reply.

"Of course, money, job title, all I can give you. I can recommend you to the Emperor to be one of the best Knights." Qionglin added his offer.

Zhang Ziyi increasingly smiled at Qionglin's offer, "I'm quite impressed. Your offer really excited me."

Qionglin's hopeful smile grew wider. It was truly unexpected that Zhang Ziyi would be so easily interested in his offer. It turned out that Zhang Ziyi was easily incited with finances and power.

"But." Zhang Ziyi's facial sharpener returned coldly, his palm sweeping through Qionglin's shoulder slowly. Until the sweep of his hand stopped then patted Qionglin several times on the shoulder, "You're wrong. I'm not a dirty apparatus like you." Zhang Ziyi continued, giving a brief smile to Qionglin, a smile that meant contempt.

Insulting Qionglin's work all this time as dirty and cheating.

After saying that, Zhang Ziyi stood up. Then left Qionglin who was now cursing himself.

"Based on young people! You'll regret refusing my offer! Believe me you'll be sorry! I'll make your family ruined! Remember that!" qionglin shouted crazily as he pointed Zhang Ziyi furiously at having played himself.
