After deceiving the villain, I was forced to love him.

Chapter 174 Give him the most considerate way to die

When the magpie flew back with a bamboo tube tied to its leg, Baili Ming was surveying the terrain in the mountains.

Although the Minister of Revenue, who was traveling with Baili Ming, was used to a life of luxury, he knew the importance of this trip and still insisted on hiking and trekking with Baili Ming every day.

Although she often complains about being too tired and says that her bones are about to fall apart and she has no appetite at all, she is more energetic than anyone else when it comes to cooking, especially skilled at catching fish in the river.

On the contrary, Seventeen, who had been practicing martial arts for many years, was always somewhat absent-minded.

He either didn't hear others calling him, or he accidentally poked the water jug ​​into the Minister of Revenue's nose when being handed water, or he was like a little chick, easily given a bite to eat by anyone.

"Ouch!"

Before he knew it, he had stomped hard on the Minister of Revenue's foot again.

The Minister of Revenue instantly flew into a rage, raising his foot to stomp back, "You brat! You're simply... ah..."

"Young Miss, what did the young lady say?!" Seventeen flew to Baili Ming's side in one leap, so excited that she completely ignored the Minister of Revenue who had tripped and fallen.

Baili Ming, who had just untied the bamboo tube from the magpie's leg, stared at Seventeen without saying a word, "..."

"...I, I was just concerned about the young lady."

Bai Liming narrowed her eyes, her voice rising at the end, "Me?"

Seventeen's face immediately turned pale. He quickly stepped back three paces, bowed, and clasped his hands in a fist. "This subordinate misspoke. Please punish me, Miss."

In this desolate wilderness, how could she punish him?

But some people, if provoked even slightly, will reveal their true colors.

"Never mind, you're loyal too."

Then they opened the bamboo tube and took out the paper strip.

The seemingly conciliatory attitude only made Seventeen feel worse.

The so-called "loyal and devoted" is just a way of saying that he is a servant and not worthy of concern.

But what can he do?

Until Wang Qingyan is completely finished, he can only be a lowly servant in the Baili family, "Miss Xie".

"However... I am the young lady's personal attendant. If there is anything I can do to help you, please give me your instructions."

After scrutinizing the seventeenth one for a while, Baili Ming turned around and looked at the vast mountains at her feet, looking worried and indecisive.

"She said the time was right, but she still needed someone to help her set the trap."

Seventeen's eyes lit up, and he immediately knelt down on one knee with unwavering resolve, "Your subordinate is willing to go!"

Glancing behind him out of the corner of her eye, Baili Ming did not immediately agree.

“This trip is extremely dangerous. You grew up with her since you were little, and you have a deep bond with her. If something happens to you, she might blame me.”

"It is precisely because I have been with the young lady since childhood that I should go."

"But"

"Young Miss! This is a golden opportunity, and there's no one more suitable right now," Seventeen interrupted Baili Ming urgently, fearing that Baili Ming would call Feng Lan over.

After a moment of silence, Baili Ming sighed in resignation, "Sigh..."

Then she turned around and handed him the note, saying, "Go ahead, be careful."

"Yes!" Seventeen took the note and immediately used his light-footed skill to leave without the slightest suspicion.

However, even the Minister of Revenue, who was standing to the side, shook his head repeatedly at the flaws in them.

However, this old man was used to pretending to be deaf and dumb, and was the most law-abiding and obedient, but he had no ability to care about the life or death of others.

"Has Your Excellency, the Minister, had a good rest?"

Sensing the unspoken meaning in Baili Ming's words, the Minister of Revenue stood up, rubbing his back.

"Oh dear, you young people have no respect for the elderly! This old body of mine will eventually be taken by you..."

......

As the first snowflakes fall, the chill in the air intensifies.

It is a good time to make new clothes and meet with relatives and friends.

Bai Li Ce shook off the Gu guards who were secretly following her, specially bought her favorite black robes, changed into them, and quickly left the city.

The hair, which had been styled in a woman's bun, was simply tied into a ponytail halfway through with a headband matching the one on her coat, aiming for a clean, neat, and refreshing look.

However, the person she wanted to see was not Seventeen.

"It's so nice to see you dressed like this again!" Xiao Lü smiled warmly from afar as Bai Li Ce appeared in the afterglow.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Baili Ce spun around happily.

Little Green looked at it carefully and said, "Of course!"

Her dress was lined with twinkling fluorescent dots on the outside and a cool, elegant royal blue on the inside, making her look like "a fairy who walked out of the Milky Way".

"You have great taste." He sat down, picked up the bottle she had placed on the grass, and took a swig. "Ah... refreshing!"

"Drink less, or I won't be able to save you if you give yourself away."

Xiao Lü told her to drink less, but she didn't stop her. She watched as Bai Li Ce finished most of the wine before opening the paper package next to her and placing it in front of her.

Here, your favorite flavor.

Bai Li Ce glanced at the chicken wings, then suddenly stopped and stared at Xiao Lü.

There was no way around it; back in Sanchengzhai, those people would share everything, and after eating, they would lick their fingers clean, which gave her a psychological trauma.

"Tsk~" Little Green clicked her tongue impatiently, but still stretched out her hands for her to check.

"Look, there's no oil stains, and no saliva."

"Take a closer sniff, and you'll find there's no smell at all."

This clearly demonstrates that when she finished eating the other parts of the chicken, she didn't lick each finger individually, nor did she save the rest from her mouth for her to eat.

"That's alright then~"

He could happily gnaw on chicken wings and listen to her belittle everyone on equal terms.

Lu Jian is stingy and suspicious, always trying to get people to work for free; Baili Shi has practically ripped him out of his scalp...

That bastard Seventeen, he talks a good game, but he's actually faster than anyone else.

Wang Qingyan was truly the most despicable bastard she had ever met...

"Um... although I'm not speaking up for Wang Qingyan, your insults towards him are, strictly speaking, insults towards me."

An awkward silence followed.

"Well, I'm sorry."

He then used eating as a cover-up, saying, "But speaking of which, back in the Baili family, you were the most disliked person."

"No way! Back then, I respected the elderly and cared for the young, and I was also kind-hearted!"

"Tch~" Little Green scoffed.

"Are you talking about that time you delivered food to the newlyweds and came back, cursing them for being so rude, not thanking them, leaving them hungry for days, and finally making them kneel on the ground begging for food?"

"Still selling a bowl of rice for ten taels, with a minimum order of ten servings?"

“Uh…” Baili Ce blushed.

Quickly changing the subject, "By the way, did Auntie leave me any messages?"

"How could there not be?" With that, Xiao Lü took out a letter dictated by Baili San Niang and written on her behalf.

"If it weren't for this letter, I wouldn't..."

When Baili Sanniang kicked her off the carriage, she really wanted to chase after her and fight her to the death, regardless of anything else.

Bai Li Ce patted her on the shoulder, "You did a great job. The Bai Li family never acts impulsively."

Shall we die together?

It was certainly a heroic act, but to the enemy, it was just the death of another unrelated person.

After a long pause, Xiao Lü smiled wryly and said, "Third Sister said the same thing, so..."

"Therefore, I will give Seventeen the most considerate way to die," Baili Ce said, his eyes changing after reading the letter.
