Chapter 403: No Future (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

On the surface, Xie Ding helped Su Yu impeach Shen Xin, but in fact, he was giving Shen Xin a way out. Shen Miao believed that an old fox like Xie Jingxing could tell.

As expected, as soon as she said that, Xie Jingxing smiled and leaned back lazily. He loosened his arms and said, “What the Marquis of Lin’an did has nothing to do with me.”

“Oh.” Shen Miao looked at him and smiled. “Then Young Marquis, didn’t you get into my carriage uninvited just to hear me thanking you?” She deliberately emphasized the words “my carriage”, clearly very angry at Xie Jingxing for being rude.

Xie Jingxing stared at her and said, “Are you planning to make Shen Xin retreat to the northwest? To seek refuge with the Luo family?”

Shen Miao’s heart skipped a beat. She looked at Xie Jingxing and did not speak.

This was indeed her plan. Xie Jingxing had pointed out a way for her to “retreat”, but she did not want to retreat while at a disadvantage. She had not finished playing the game yet. Once she retreated, her opponent would gain the momentum. Her revenge had to be abandoned before it even started. How could she accept it?

It did not matter if the military power was confiscated. What Shen Xin had to offer was never the Shen army, but rather his ability to lead troops in battle. If he could nurture one Shen army, he could naturally nurture another one. Among the army that was confiscated, there were people planted by Shen Yuan and Fu Xiuyi. It was too tiring to lead such an army as he had to be on guard against anyone trying to stab him from behind.

The Shen family’s military power was gone, but the Luo family still had soldiers. It was just that the combat power of the Luo family’s army was not as good as the Shen family’, so it wasn’t as well known.

Shen Miao wanted to use the Luo family’s army and turn it into another Shen army as a trump card that no one knew about. Wasn’t the royal family worried about Shen Xin rebelling? She would make their worry come true.

However… This secret thought could not be hidden from Xie Jingxing’s sharp gaze. The moment her mind was seen through, Shen Miao panicked.

If Xie Jingxing knew what she was thinking… What would this person, the tragic hero who left a deep mark in the history of Ming Qi, do? Threaten her? Turn her in? Or… kill her?

However, he probably wouldn’t have the chance to do so. Shen Miao had survived all the difficult times in her previous life. Even if she was temporarily shocked, she quickly suppressed the emotions in her heart. She thought that Xie Jingxing was about to go to the northern border. If this trip to the northern border followed the trajectory of her previous life, Xie Jingxing would die and be shot in the heart by ten thousand arrows. Even if Xie Jingxing was smart and all-knowing, he still couldn’t escape this fate.

Shen Miao looked up at Xie Jingxing.

Xie Jingxing was really good-looking. In her previous life, she had seen many talented and good-looking young men. Even Fu Xiuyi, who she was infatuated with, did not have such a charm. He had long eyebrows, a tall nose, thin lips, and a rosy face. His smile always looked a little evil. He was handsome and a little domineering. His facial features were well-defined and he had a pair of dark and bright eyes. When he looked at people, his eyes were filled with coldness.
