Chapter 1164: Chapter 1164: How Did You Meet Brother Fu Ce?
Evening.
Bai Zhi’er accompanied Qingmei to the Xiuluo Guard.
Feng Fuce happened to be away.
However, Chu Ping knew Bai Zhi’er had arrived and was delighted, waving his arms and legs around.
"Princess, I heard from Guoguo that you traveled all over Great Qin with the Marquis, I’m so envious!"
Bai Zhi’er grinned, sizing up Chu Ping.
"What’s there to envy? Once you’re completely healed, we’ll take you out too."
"Brother Chu Ping, I see you can walk just fine, you must be much better now, right?"
Chu Ping nodded, and promptly did a backflip.
"I’ve already recovered, just a minor injury!"
His action elicited a shocked gasp from Qingmei.
Qingmei scolded slightly angrily, "Can you be more careful? You just got better, if you get hurt again carelessly, it’ll be a case of joy turning into sorrow!"
Chu Ping chuckled, "I trust that no matter how many times I get injured, Xiao Mei will take good care of me."
Qingmei rolled her eyes, "Take care of you? Where do you get such confidence? If you get hurt again, I won’t care about your life and death."
"Loose tongue but soft heart, that’s what I like," Chu Ping teased.
Qingmei’s face suddenly blushed, and she glared at Chu Ping, "The Princess is here, stop talking nonsense!"
Chu Ping withdrew his sticky, heated gaze, and then earnestly reported to Bai Zhi’er, "Tomorrow, I can resume my duties."
"It’s hard on the Marquis, just returned, yet he has to take Lei Hu on a journey early tomorrow."
"Princess, the Marquis doesn’t want to take me, can you speak on my behalf?"
"Otherwise, I’ll be the only idle person left with the Xiuluo Guard for long!"
Bai Zhi’er’s big eyes were clear as she laughed, "Isn’t idleness good? To be a wealthy idle person is a skill too."
"Moreover, Brother Fu Ce not taking you is because he knows you haven’t fully recovered. He’s being considerate."
Chu Ping beamed warmly, "Of course, the Marquis is the best. Being able to work with him is definitely a fortune cultivated in a past life."
Bai Zhi’er picked up the prepared orange beside her.
She peeled the orange skin, putting a sweet segment into her mouth.
Tasting the flavor reminded her of her childhood.
Back then, Brother Fu Ce was also mischievous, blindfolding her and not revealing his true identity.
Reflecting on the past, Bai Zhi’er felt somewhat puzzled.
The world’s opinions of Feng Fuce were almost polarizing.
Those who appreciated him truly admired him, while those who disliked him greatly condemned him.
The corrupt officials described Feng Fuce as a villain laden with crimes.
Yet, the brothers in Xiuluo Guard who followed Feng Fuce through life and death were immensely loyal to him.
Despite his noble background, Chu Ping was wholeheartedly loyal to Feng Fuce as well.
Every time he mentions him, it’s always in praise.
Bai Zhi’er chewed on the orange, savoring the sweet taste.
She murmured, "Brother Chu Ping, I’ve always been curious, how did you meet Brother Fu Ce?"
Chu Ping was teasing Qingmei, nearly receiving a slap from her.
Upon hearing, he immediately restrained his playful demeanor.
Recalling the past, Chu Ping’s face only showed admiration for Feng Fuce.
"In the past, everyone thought I came from a noble background but was incompetent, and sometimes even though I meant well in helping others, things always went awry."
"Ultimately, not only did I not get thanked, but I was blamed by others. Over time, I became dejected and disappointed about my future."
"But during a journey, I saw the young Marquis calmly directing strategies behind the Xiu Luo Envoy, gradually capturing a group of bandits hidden nearby!"
