Chapter 717: Chapter 727: Each With Their Own Schemes

Thousand-household Zhao now did not even dare to hold a beauty in his arms, let alone be touched by one—he felt as though he might die from it.

It took great effort for Thousand-household Zhao to restrain himself from pushing Zhao Xiaomiao away.

Zhao Xiaomiao, completely oblivious, spoke with a delicate voice, "I didn’t mean to be harsh with you just now, my dear. I value promises and don’t want you to deceive me. It’s deep affection that prompts strict admonishment. Can you understand, Thousand-household Zhao?"

"Understand, understand, understand..."

Thousand-household Zhao nodded repeatedly, and finally, unable to bear the weight of Zhao Xiaomiao anymore, he used the excuse of having tea to get her to stand up.

"In any case, rest assured, I will get done what I promised you."

Thousand-household Zhao finally managed to settle her down and was thinking about whether to send her away when Zhao Xiaomiao once again hugged him enthusiastically.

"..." Thousand-household Zhao.

"As long as you say it, I’ll believe it." As she spoke, she tiptoed and kissed Thousand-household Zhao’s face lightly. "The lesson can wait, but can you fulfill my other wish sooner?"

"?" Thousand-household Zhao was initially stunned, and it took him a while to understand what Zhao Xiaomiao meant.

Half a year ago, the Feathered Forest Guards were issued a new weapon. Recently, they just completed the first echelon’s usage training. A month and a half ago, someone mentioned the new weapon while drinking, and Zhao Xiaomiao had been wanting to see it ever since.

Due to military secrets not being allowed to be disclosed, Thousand-household Zhao had been putting her off, but Zhao Xiaomiao kept asking repeatedly. Additionally, these past few days, she had been particularly diligent, doing many things that the Brothel Sisters were unwilling to do. In a moment of weakness, Thousand-household Zhao agreed to let her have a look.

But once sober, Thousand-household Zhao also realized that he had made too large a promise!

So he kept putting it off.

But now, having failed in his night raid on the Bai Residence, Thousand-household Zhao could only try to recover face in other ways.

With some difficulty, he nodded and said, "Tonight, come find me and I shall let you have a look."

Joy brimmed in Zhao Xiaomiao’s eyes, and she kissed Thousand-household Zhao’s face over and over, taking her time before finally leaving.

Having secured the promise to teach Bai Junjun a lesson and to see the weapon, Zhao Xiaomiao’s sour mood from the early morning encounter with Bai Junjun and Li Wenli had somewhat improved.

Bai Junjun and Li Wenli had no idea about Zhao Xiaomiao’s mood; after all, they didn’t take the little Zhao Xiaomiao seriously.

Although there would be no battles in the Imperial Capital now, Yuwen Luan Fei had sent invitation letters to both the Eldest Prince and the Ninth Prince, proposing a meeting in the Imperial Capital.

Since Yuwen Jun was coming, he was bound to go to the Humming Abyss.

They needed to complete their night visit to the Humming Abyss before Yuwen Jun’s arrival.

After all, they were not sure whether the Affairs of His Majesty were in the Humming Abyss, and if they were, who could say whether Yuwen Jun might take them upon arriving.

If Yuwen Jun were to take them back to the Eastern Land, it would certainly be more difficult to retrieve them from his clutches, given his schemes and shrewdness. It would be better to get them now before he came.

Of course, if the Affairs of His Majesty were not in the Humming Abyss but in Yuwen Jun’s hands, that would be another matter.

Thus, they needed to get the Passage Order from Shopkeeper Qiao as quickly as possible.

However...

The two had had their tea at this place several days in a row, but they had never found Shopkeeper Qiao alone. Except for that sudden trip to the Humming Abyss one night, he was always standing in his teahouse and never went out.

Moreover, using the excuse of retiring to his hometown, Shopkeeper Qiao had handed over all the tea house’s affairs to Zhao Xiaomiao; he wasn’t handling anything personally anymore.

And because of this, Bai Junjun struggled to find an excuse to interact with him.

Today, once again, they came up empty-handed and could only walk back dejectedly.

Seeing the young lady looking sullen, Li Wenli suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, do we absolutely have to steal that Passage Order?"
