Chapter 67 - 67. Deal I

Third person POV

After 2 hours, Shu Zhiruo finished treating Hong er. All of her body was covered in bandages. Shu Zhiruo glanced at her and sighed.

Shu Zhiruo: " Why don't you just use your magic to heal yourself? It is quicker and more efficient."

Hong er: " I can't heal myself with my own magic, that's why you need to stay by my side forever. Hehehe. But my body heals quicker than others."

Shu Zhiruo: "Hhmm, just don't get hurt."

Hong er: " Uhm, I will try."

Shu Zhiruo: " *sigh, whatever, I will leave first to boil you some medicine."

Hong er: " En."

A voice sounded out from outside.

Huayun: " Young Miss, General Sheng came to see you."

Hong er: " En, come in."

Shu Zhiruo: " Then, bye."

Hong er: " En."

Shu Zhiruo and Weisheng passed by each other without sparing any glance. Hong er looked at Weisheng with a smile on her face.

Hong er: " Sheng ge, can I ask for your help?"

Weisheng: " What?"

Hong er: " Please bring me to Great General Di's camp."

Weisheng: " Why?"

Hong er: " Hehe."

Hong er only laughed mischievously at him while Weisheng got a bad feeling about this.

Dong Fang's camp*

The guards that stood in front of their camp's gate saw a huge group of people marching towards their camp. The guard wanted to ring the warning bell but a figure suddenly appeared in front of him grabbing his hand. He nervously looked at the figure and saw a girl with a red mask that was covered in bandages and she was holding 6 jars of liquor. She lifted up the jars to his face and laughed.

Then he looked behind her and saw many of Da Chu's soldiers holding jars of liquor in their hands. The other guard ran to Di Yu's tent and reported Hong er's arrival. Di Yu laughed and told the guard to let them in.

The guard: ' Can the opponent's soldiers enter our camp just like that?"

The guard went back to the gate and told his friend to let them in. They let Hong er in, Hong er lightly nodded at them and they hesitantly nodded back. Di Yu's bodyguards led Hong er and Weisheng in to Di Yu's tent.

Hong er: " Uncle Di, I'm coming in."

Hong er and Weisheng entered the tent and saw a half n.a.k.e.d man with bandages all over his body sitting on a chair. The moment Weisheng saw Di Yu was half n.a.k.e.d, he immediately whipped his head towards Hong er but Hong er didn't react at all. She smiled like usual and went to Di Yu's desk and put a jar of liquor on his desk. Weisheng looked at Hong er with confusion and a thought suddenly appeared in his head.

Weisheng: ' Did Hong er only reacted like that because it was me?'

After he thought for a while, he decided to not get ahead of himself because Hong er was too dense for that. Di Yu looked at the liquor then looked at Hong er and waited for an explanation from her. Hong er took off her mask and smiled widely at Di Yu. Her face was patched with bandages and were almost covering all of her face.

Di Yu: " Hoo~ Aren't Xu family rarely show their face to others?"

Hong er: " Ahahaha, father told me that I can trust you."

Di Yu: " That Tingfeng never change. So what is your purpose coming here with those liquors?"

Hong er asked Di Yu's bodyguard for a wine cup and 10 seconds later the bodyguard brought 3 wine cups. Hong er opened the lid and a sweet fragrance emitted from the jar, the fragrant caught everyone's attention including Weisheng. Hong er poured the liquor into the cup, a clear liquid filling half of the cup. Hong er offered the cup to Di Yu, Di Yu took the cup and brought it to his mouth.

Bodyguard: " Master! We need to check it first"

Di Yu: " It's fine, they won't use cheap tricks."

The bodyguard went back to his position and worriedly looked at his master. Di Yu swirled the clear liquid and smelled the liquid.

Di Yu: " What a sweet aroma but there is a little bit of herbal fragrance."

Di Yu gulped down the liquid in one go, his eyes widened as he swallowed the liquid. He lowered his head in contemplation, the bodyguard summoned his sword and pointed it to Hong er's neck. Weisheng immediately summoned his sword and pointed it to the bodyguard. Hong er only calmly looked at Di Yu with a sly smile on her face.

Weisheng was surprised to see such an unfamiliar smile on Hong er's face, he looked at Hong er in disbelieve but he trusted Hong er no matter what happened. The bodyguard started to get anxious, he glared at Hong er.

The bodyguard: " Master, are you okay?"

Di Yu raised his hand to signal him to put down his weapon. The bodyguard reluctantly put down his weapon, he didn't dare to ask Di Yu again because he knew Di Yu never repeat twice. Di Yu raised his head and leaned on his chair while staring at Hong er with a smirk.

Di Yu: " So what is your real motive to make me drink this?"

Hong er: " Uncle Di is sharp, you instantly exposed me like that. Please don't embarrass this youngster like that."

Di Yu:" Hahaha, I knew that you are a bright child the moment I fought with you and I knew that behind your cute smile, a sly fox lying deeply inside you."

Hong er: " Hahaha, Uncle Di is joking, how can I be that smart like what uncle described me? I only did this to survive."

Di Yu: " Hoo~ I like the way you think. So tell me what you want."

Hong er: " Of course uncle Di already knew what I want."

Hong er gave him a sly grin.

Hong er: " Money."
