The whole family of villains listens to my heart, the Regent Prince treats me dearly.

Chapter 191 A Pure Superior-Subordinate Relationship

"Deputy General Pang! Look!" A soldier frantically slapped Pang Zhong's arm. "The general really does have homosexual tendencies!"

Pang Zhong hissed and turned his hand away.

"Okay, okay! Stop filming!"

Pang Zhong could hardly bear to look at it.

How could the general imitate those lecherous men, doing such a despicable thing in front of others!

What a blind eye!

Perhaps it was the intense gazes of the crowd that made Zhai Sangjie realize something was amiss.

He looked out of the kitchen with some suspicion—

A group of soldiers immediately stood up straight, instinctively raising their hands to cover their groins, and staring at him with alarmed expressions.

Zhai Sangjie: ?

He glanced at the clothes in his hands, then at the soldiers' eyes, and somewhat guiltily put down Gu Xiruo's luggage.

"You've misunderstood, it's not like that..." he said as he walked toward the group of soldiers. The soldiers were all on edge and scattered in a panic.

Zhai Sangjie reached out and grabbed Pang Zhong by the back of his collar, pulling him back. "Why are you all running away?"

He frowned as he looked at the soldiers whispering to each other in the distance.

Pang Zhong turned his head with a smirk, "Hehehehehe..."

"Something's up...everyone's up..."

He shakily raised his hand to shield himself.

Now that things have come to this, he has no choice but to believe it...

The general might really be...

Zhai Sangjie's gaze followed Pang Zhong's movements and landed on his crossed hands, his thick, dark eyebrows instantly furrowing.

What is he doing?

Seeing that Pang Zhong was staring intently at his lower body, he covered himself even tighter with his hands, his eyes widened, and his gaze was filled with a frenzied mix of emotions.

One was covered with the words "So this is what you're like, General," while the other was filled with the pitiful cries of "Who will save me?"

Zhai Sangjie: ...

"What kind of look is that?" he said, annoyed.

Pang Zhong wanted to cry but had no tears.

Seeing that he did not reply, Zhai Sangjie threw off his collar and said seriously, "Pass down the word that we will depart for Cangyun Valley tomorrow."

He turned and glanced at Gu Xiruo.

Now that we've found the Green Snake Grass, there's no need to waste our time here.

Judging by the distance, the troops marching south from Guanling City should arrive in the next few days.

With a major battle imminent, let's postpone investigating Xiao Gu's affair for now; after all, he hasn't committed any major offenses.

Seeing that he was still looking at Xiao Gu, Pang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief and repeatedly replied, "Yes, General! No problem, General!"

"Did you take the wrong medicine?" Zhai Sangjie frowned and looked at Pang Zhong's face.

Pang Zhong shook his head vigorously, like a rattle drum.

As long as the general doesn't take a liking to him, he will still be the general he admires the most!

He, Pang Zhong, will still obey the general's orders!

"Your subordinate is utterly loyal to the general! The sun and moon bear witness! Even if the general commands me to go through fire and water, I will never utter a single word of dissent!" Pang Zhong wished he could straighten out his stance.

His eyes shone with the light of justice.

General, you understand, right?

There can only be a pure superior-subordinate relationship between them!

You can't even think about anything else!

Pang Zhong was acting strangely, but Zhai Sangjie didn't take it to heart; his mind was filled with what the two bandits had said.

He has already sent people to investigate in the past two days.

The bandit stronghold on the mountain is called Black Wind Stronghold. It has managed to live peacefully and profit from both sides of the border between Nansang and Longyan for so many years. The leader of the stronghold must be a formidable person.

Since they have already colluded with Nan Sang, they must want to gain benefits from Long Yan. The fear is that they don't just want to take his life.

They might be plotting something else as well.

We must write to the Regent to inform him of this matter and discuss a suitable solution together.

Thinking of this, Zhai Sangjie said to Pang Zhong, "Come to my tent in a little while."

Pang Zhong's incessant chatter suddenly fell silent.

"No!" he screamed.

Zhai Sangjie's eagle eyes narrowed slowly: "Didn't you just say that there wasn't a single word of 'no'?"

Pang Zhong: ...Oh no.

The general has taken a liking to him!!!

Haimu City.

Cang Zhihe's maidservant, holding a box in her hands, asked worriedly, "Miss, are you really sure?"

"Once the love potion is implanted, you will have two worms in your body."

"When the two poisons clash, there will be side effects!"

Cang Zhihe snatched the box from the maid's hand, opened it, and saw a pair of Gu worms lying quietly inside.

This love potion is a mother potion. Once you plant the mother potion, you can manipulate the child potion's person to be devoted to you, with only you in their eyes and heart.

Once your heart changes, you will suffer the pain of having your heart torn apart!

Thinking of Jun Ce's attitude towards her, Cang Zhihe felt a surge of resentment.

Hmph, she clearly has both beauty and wealth, yet she's trampled underfoot by that Dragon Flame woman. What kind of logic is that!

Throughout her life, Cang Zhihe has always been the one who commands the wind and rain, able to summon men at will and dismiss them at will.

When have I ever felt so frustrated?

Thinking of this, Cang Zhihe scoffed, "Side effects? What side effects could there be?"

“Nan Sang has had people with the same type of Gu before, and the biggest side effect was just that they became thinner and paler!”

On the bright side, wouldn't it be better for a woman to be thinner and fairer?

Cang Zhihe gave the maid a somewhat resentful look.

A servant is a servant.

With such shallow judgment, you'll never amount to anything in your life.

The maid, however, remained concerned for her, earnestly advising, "Miss, the Gu worms used are different, so the side effects are naturally different as well. What if there are other risks? Is it really worth gambling your body for a mere man named Long Yan?"

"He's no ordinary man."

Cang Zhihe caught the mother Gu, her eyes flashing with a sharp light.

"Father said that those who achieve great things must have determination and courage. If mere physical side effects can make me back down, then how can I possibly plot for the position of Regent's Consort?"

"Besides, once the love potion is planted, no matter what I become, the Regent will love me!"

"You can only love me!"

Her expression twisted, and a vicious glint flashed in her eyes.

The maid sighed.

It's probably impossible to persuade the young lady to change her mind like this.

"So, how does Miss plan to implant the Gu?"

"That regent seems to be a cold-hearted and aloof person. He never lets anyone get close to him except for his guards and that girl Long Yan."

Even the young lady was kicked out by him last time...

Looking at the confident Cang Zhihe, the maid swallowed back the last sentence.

How could Cang Zhihe not know?

“Now, there is one more person who can get close to him,” she said coldly.

The maid was startled for a moment.

"Miss refers to...Prefect Liu?"

Cang Zhihe gave a sickly smile, "Doesn't Liu Taiqing want me? We should make him show some sincerity."

"But Liu Taiqing is a wolf in sheep's clothing. How can Miss let herself be a lamb to the slaughter?"

Cang Zhihe reached out and planted the mother Gu of the love worm into her wrist. The worm bit through the flesh and immediately burrowed into her blood vessels.

Cold sweat beaded on Cang Zhihe's forehead, but her dark eyes shone with an unusual brightness, appearing sinister yet alluring and captivating.

"Who is the sheep and who is the tiger is still unknown!" she said fiercely.
