Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 172 Entering the City
"what?"

Seeing this, Xu Changqing couldn't help but say, somewhat dumbfounded, "Boss, didn't you say you were going to carry it?"

"Ah!"

Sheng Changquan didn't even bother to reply to him!
"Yes, I meant to carry it, but can you even lift it?"

Speechless after being silenced by Sheng Changquan's words, Xu Changqing was speechless.

"But...but..."

Although he had come to terms with the facts, Xu Changqing was still somewhat unconvinced. He hid in the back, muttering something to himself.

"Alright, here you go. Now you can continue with them!"

Sheng Changquan shoved the things in his hand into Xu Changqing's arms, immediately trying to shirk responsibility by saying to Xu Changqing, "Since you said it could be done, then you can continue!"

These words immediately made Xu Changqing, who was originally about to give up, pause.

"Just keep going!"

Because of the convenient method available, Xu Changqing was not too worried this time.

"Um... my benefactor, no need!"

Rong Feiyan finally couldn't hold back any longer. She stood aside and quietly voiced her opinion, shaking her head and saying, "I... my foot injury is much better now. I... I think I can keep going!"

Not wanting to be at Xu Changqing's mercy any longer, Rong Feiyan bravely refused for the first time.

"no!"

Unfortunately, the person involved disagreed!

Xu Changqing scrambled to his feet, picked up the "magical weapon," and, as if to prove himself, declared, "I said I would 'carry' you back, and I will definitely 'carry' you back!"

You cannot refuse!

In his haste, Xu Changqing's voice inevitably became a little louder!
"Yes Yes!"

"We will definitely listen to this brave man!"

Peony, fearing that her young lady would lose her temper, quickly interrupted and spoke in agreement with Xu Changqing.

In fact, Rong Feiyan didn't dare to have any temper at this moment. Not to mention that she subconsciously wanted to show her best side in front of her benefactor, she had no objection to Xu Changqing's fierce tone.

"Okay, let's go quickly then!"

Sheng Changquan glanced meaningfully at Rong Feiyan, whose eyes seemed a little off, and said, "If we don't hurry, the city gates might have to close soon."

"Yes, let's go!"

Xu Changqing also urged Rong Feiyan and the other woman to prepare to fulfill his promise.

……

Speechless all the way.

Thanks to the aid of the "divine artifact," Sheng Changquan and his group were finally able to return to the official road before the city gates closed.

Let's stop here!

Looking at the majestic city gate visible in the distance, Sheng Changquan gestured for Xu Changqing to stop and said, "We can't enter the city like this. Do you have any ideas?"

Considering the reputation of Rong Feiyan and others, Sheng Changquan also asked them a question.

Fearing that Rong Feiyan and the other woman might not yet realize the seriousness of the situation, Sheng Changquan warned them, "If we enter the city like this, your reputations will be ruined!"

"what?"

To be honest, if it weren't for Sheng Changquan's reminder, the two women who escaped death would never have thought of this.

"so what should I do now?"

Rong Feiyan panicked!

"I can't ruin my reputation!"

"The Rong family's reputation can't be ruined!"

"..." Because the Rong family is a newly risen family that relies on Consort Rong in the palace. They have a weak foundation and are not favored by established wealthy families. If their reputation is damaged at this time, it will probably immediately interrupt their upward momentum. In fact, it may even implicate Consort Rong in the palace.

Not only that, Consort Rong and Rong Feiyan were biological sisters, and in some ways they were inseparable, sharing both glory and misfortune.

"Peony, tell me, do you have any ideas?"

Rong Feiyan looked at the maid beside her, her face full of anxiety.

"Miss, this..."

Peony was still young and didn't understand such things. At this moment, she was helpless, so the two women could only turn their hopeful gaze to Sheng Changquan.

"My benefactor..."

The two called out together.

Behind the two women, Xu Changqing rolled his eyes behind his mask!
"You're benefactors to the young master, but heroes to me. You're really something!"

Seeing the two pairs of bright eyes, Sheng Changquan pondered for a moment before offering his suggestion.

"Here's what we'll do. In a little while, I'll take Miss Peony into the city first, and have her go back to the manor to send a message to your father. I'm sure your father will be able to find a way to bring you back quietly!"

Because of Rong Feiyan's special status, Peony can do things that Rong Feiyan cannot. More importantly, Peony's status makes her more trustworthy to the Rong family.

"it is good!"

"but……"

Rong Feiyan was initially delighted, but then she looked at Sheng Changquan and Xu Changqing, her face showing hesitation and a sense of unease as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

"Humph!"

Xu Changqing rolled his eyes again behind his mask and said directly, "Boss, let me take Miss Peony into the city!"

"This..." Rong Feiyan blushed slightly when she saw that the other party already understood her meaning.

“Brave warrior, in truth…”

"Alright, let's head over there!"

Xu Changqing gestured for Mudan to follow him, then turned and walked towards the city gate.

Xu Changqing no longer wanted to hear these words about brave warriors and benefactors. All he wanted to do was send the two girls away immediately and then go home and have a good cry!
This is seriously... so damn unfair!

"Miss, I'll go back to the manor to inform the master first. Please don't worry!"

"..."

Peony stood beside Rong Feiyan, whispered a few words to her, and then hurriedly followed Xu Changqing into the city.

After all, Xu Changqing's pace was indeed a bit faster at this moment!
in situ.

Watching the two figures gradually disappear, Rong Feiyan explained somewhat embarrassedly to Sheng Changquan, "Actually, it's not that I look down on my benefactor brothers, it's just..."

"Yes, I know!"

Sheng Changquan waved his hand, not wanting to say anything more.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

At this moment, because there was no third person present, Rong Feiyan's courage inexplicably grew. She mustered her courage and broke the awkward silence, saying, "My benefactor, I wonder how your brother plans to return to the city?"

"Could it be that he's going to take off his mask and enter the city?"

At this point, Rong Feiyan looked at Sheng Changquan with a hint of anticipation, as if she wanted to see his true colors.

"You don't understand."

Sheng Changquan glanced at the naive Rong Feiyan and said quietly, "In this world, there are always some people who can be above the law."

"What……"

Rong Feiyan indeed did not understand Sheng Changquan's meaning.
