Such a big order came out.
Even the mercenaries in Nie Qingru's manor have begun to get restless, and more and more people have been asking for leave early recently.
Shadow was having a headache, but he didn't know what to do with these people.
After all, these peripheral mercenaries were just helpers they hired with money. Now that this group of people have found something more profitable, of course their morale is unstable and few are willing to listen to his command.
"The Queen."
Shadow came in from outside after dealing with a few people who had asked for leave, and saw Nie Qingru sitting in a chair with a gloomy face, looking up at him.
“How many people are leaving today?”
"… "
Shadow raised his eyes and then lowered them again, really not wanting to irritate her.
Nie Qingru said very forcefully: "Speak!"
Shadow had no choice but to speak bitterly: "10. So far we have lost a third of our men."
"Humph." Nie Qingru laughed angrily: "A bunch of low-level people. If I hadn't been in trouble, I wouldn't have come to them. They are really brave enough to do this to me."
Shadow advised her: "Queen, please don't be angry. These people are desperate criminals and have no moral principles. If they don't want to do it anymore, we can just find new people to replace them."
"Of course I know." Nie Qingru's tone was still bad, and she held her forehead with her hand, as if she had a headache: "But in West City..."
"Mr. Zhai..." Yingzi didn't know how to persuade her.
He told the Queen at the beginning that Qiao Nian was not a liar. Since Qiao Nian repeatedly said that Young Master Zhai was not in his hands, it must be true.
But the Queen refused to listen and was determined that Qiao Nian was related to Zhai Shao's disappearance. She arrested Guan Yan at the critical moment when the two sides were on the verge of a war.
This angered Qiao Nian, who began to hunt for Zhai Shao on a large scale, determined to confirm the truth.
The Queen has always been shrewd and capable, but this time even Shadow himself had to admit that Nie Qingru was too impulsive, which led to the current situation.
They are really passive.
"No one would have thought that Qiao Nian would do something like this." Shadow could only hold his breath and whisper, "Take care of yourself."
Nie Qingru's face was filled with anger and extremely distorted. She slammed the table and growled, "I think she doesn't want me to have an easy life. Otherwise, how could she do such a thing! My body... my body can't be in good condition with such a good granddaughter thinking about it!"
It’s a good thing she didn’t die early as she wished!
Shadow didn't dare raise his head in her rage.
Fortunately, Nie Qingru's temper faded quickly, and she quickly suppressed her anger, leaving only a cold look between her eyebrows: "Isn't she going to find Xicheng? It's just right, I should also look for Lu Zhi."
"If he keeps his cool and doesn't do anything, he can attend my granddaughter's wedding! He's almost unable to bear it anymore."
"… "
Shadow looked up and said nothing.
He didn't think Lu Zhi was a good partner.
However, they are now restricted in what they do in the illegal area. Without Lu Zhi's help, it would be difficult for them not to be suppressed by Qiao Nian.
Shadow whispered, "I hope Lu Zhi will not disappoint you."
Nie Qingru was very confident. She turned away and said calmly, "He won't let me down, because this time he's not doing it for me, he's doing it for himself. I'm just his stepping stone, but I'm not afraid of taking on this responsibility. Haha, anyway, she and I have come this far, and I'm not afraid of any more hatred."
Lu Zhi wanted to make a move on Ye Wangchuan, but he couldn't afford the anger and hatred that Ye Wangchuan would have to endure from Qiao Nian.
