Warm medicine emits fragrance

Feng Ji left quickly, and Fan Liuer returned to her hotel room, still feeling uneasy.

With Li Chenbi in trouble and Qi Weiming no longer safe, she doesn't even have anyone to discuss countermeasures with right now.

She was worried that she was making a decision too late and missing the opportunity, and she was also worried that she was making the wrong decision and making things worse.

She wasn't a particularly bright person to begin with. In the past, she could always ask Li Chenbi for help when she couldn't handle things well, but now that she had no one to turn to, she felt very anxious.

He was restless, worried that Feng Ji hadn't met Qi Weiming, and also worried that the time he was wasting would prevent him from rescuing Li Chenbi.

She paced back and forth in the room, silently counting the time.

The two were about the same age, and their relationship was good from the time Qi Weiming followed Yan Qi. Later, because Yan Qiu followed Li Chenbi, Qi Weiming became estranged from him.

This time, it was Qi Weiming who came to find Yanqiu.

Yan Qiu was pleased to see him. He put down the book in his hand and stood up to greet him. "Why did you decide to come see me today?" he teased, staring at the wine in Qi Weiming's hand.

Qi Weiming glanced at him, placed the wine on his desk, and snorted coldly, "I've come to celebrate with you, to celebrate that your brother Chen Bi has finally gotten his comeuppance."

Yan Qiu didn't like hearing this, and his face turned cold. "Qi Weiming, I don't know what grudge you have with Brother Chenbi, but I've told you many times that Brother Chenbi is my teacher. You shouldn't speak ill of him in front of me."

Qi Weiming pulled up a chair and sat down at the table, pouring himself a glass of wine. "What a teacher you are. When your teacher got into trouble, I didn't see you help him out."

Yanqiu sensed something was off about those words and looked him over. "What do you mean by that?"

Qi Weiming tilted his head back and downed a glass of wine, then slammed the glass on the table. He turned and glared at him angrily, "Yan Qiu, you know perfectly well that Li Chenbi was framed by your uncle's gang, and you just stood by and watched him go to jail?"

"He did you a favor not long ago, and he treats you much better than your own uncle who only knows how to leech off you. How can you just ignore him like this?"

Yan Qiu was stunned by his scolding and it took her a while to come to her senses. "Wait, haven't you always been at odds with him? Why are you speaking up for him now?"

Qi Weiming muttered to himself, "I'm not speaking up for him, I just don't want Liu'er to be sad."

"What did you say?" Yanqiu didn't hear clearly.

"I'm saying I'm judging people based on their actions, not their personalities. Although Li Chenbi is a bad person and has an unpleasant appearance, he didn't do this, so he didn't do it."

Yan Qiu stared at Qi Weiming for a moment, then smiled and patted Qi Weiming's shoulder. "I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You're different from those people who are only jealous of Brother Chenbi."

Qi Weiming shook off his hand. "You keep calling me 'Brother Chenbi,' have you even thought about how to save him?"

Yan Qiu wasn't angry with Qi Weiming at all. He had initially gotten close to Qi Weiming because of Qi Weiming's personality—neither flattering nor fawning, but speaking his mind.

"Of course I'm trying to find a solution. I'm even more anxious about this than you are, but my uncle has been keeping a close eye on me lately, and I haven't found any evidence yet."

"Then go find your father. Go cry to the general. You are his son. He will spare Li Chenbi's life for your sake, even if he can't clear Li Chenbi's name in the end."

Yan Qiu looked at Qi Weiming and thought to himself that the two of them were indeed birds of a feather.

"To be honest, I have also considered this, but it is a last resort, a last-ditch effort, and we haven't reached that point yet."

Hearing this, Qi Weiming felt a little relieved. "Alright, since you have your last trump card, I'm at ease."

After he finished speaking, he beckoned to Yanqiu, "Come on, have a drink. It's been a long time since we drank together."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a voice came from outside the tent, "Second Young Master, someone is looking for General Qi."

Yan Qiu looked at Qi Weiming, his eyes filled with doubt, "Who came to see you?"

Qi Weiming was equally puzzled. "I don't know," he said, then pondered aloud, "Could it be that I forgot to pay for the wine yesterday?"

"Who is this?" Yanqiu asked the person outside.

"The Second Young Master is a man of Commander Wang."

Yanqiu frowned: "Commander Wang?"

Qi Weiming knew this person, "Wang Yang, a team left behind to scout at Qimapo."

He hissed, "Why are his men coming to see me? Did they discover something?"

"You shouldn't come to me if you've discovered anything. I just recovered from my injuries yesterday and haven't officially taken over military affairs yet."

"Why don't we just call them in and ask them?" Yanqiu said, then addressed the doorway, "Bring them in."

Soon, the soldier was brought in. Qi Weiming stood up and walked to his side. "What do you want with me?"

The soldier immediately said, "Lord Qi, I met your sister near Qima Slope. I escorted her into Qianzhou City, and she is currently staying at an inn. I came here specifically to tell you this."

"My sister?" Qi Weiming frowned. "My parents only had me. Where did this sister come from?"

The soldier quickly replied, "She said she's your neighbor's little sister, someone you grew up with."

Qi Weiming was even more confused upon hearing this. "I grew up in the martial arts world. I have quite a few younger brothers, but I don't have a single younger sister."

Upon hearing this, Yan Qiu said, "She even went to Maqi Slope, which means she knows our previous location. This person..." His expression hardened, "Could she be a spy sent by the other side?"

The soldier was shocked. "A spy? But... but she even knows about Lord Qi's failed marriage and his wife's tragic death. She shouldn't be a spy, right?"

Qi Weiming's eyes widened. "She told you about this?"

Although Qi Weiming had always deliberately concealed this matter, he didn't tell everyone he met. Currently, only a few people who were close to him knew about it, such as Yan Qiu.

No one else could possibly know about this, let alone a non-existent girl next door.

This person appeared at this critical juncture and even knew about his matter.

A figure flashed into his mind, and he grabbed the soldier. "Where is she?"

Startled by his appearance, Yanqiu quickly asked, "Who is it?"

The soldier was so frightened that he stammered, "At...at Qianzhou Restaurant."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Weiming immediately walked out of the tent.

Yanqiu quickly followed and grabbed him, asking, "Where are you going?"

"I need to go see her."

"Wait, who is this person? Didn't you say you didn't have a younger sister?"

Qi Weiming guessed why Fan Liuer had come. He glanced around, then leaned close to Yan Qiu's ear and whispered, "She is Li Chenbi's betrothed."

Yanqiu's eyes widened. "Really?"

Qi Weiming shook off his hand. "Why would I try to comfort you? Besides, she definitely came here because of this. I need to go see him."
