Just then—
Qin Hao ignored his wounds and came rushing over with the Qin Family Army in a mighty procession.
But when he arrived outside the capital, he found that his dear elder brother was perfectly fine. In fact, he was up on a mountain with Yu Lan, cuddling and whispering sweet nothings.
"Too much!"
Jiang Ling had come along as well. The moment she saw this, she was furious.
First, he'd inexplicably punished her man with a hundred thousand strokes of the military rod. Now he was lighting beacon fires to fool the feudal lords, all for the sake of a woman's smile. He really didn't treat them like people at all.
"The Qin Emperor really has gone too far!"
Jiang Wushuang's expression was dark. "Not only has he launched massive construction projects and squeezed the people dry, he's also lit beacon fires just to make a beauty smile. How is that something a Human Emperor should do?!"
"Xiao Hao!"
Jiang Xue began dropping hints again. "What do you think about this?"
"Even though he's my brother, I think he's gone too far too!"
A raging fury blazed in Qin Hao's eyes. Then he pulled out his little notebook again.
Some year, some month: My brother not only failed to keep his promise to let me enjoy a song and dance performance, but also used beacon fires to trick me into coming to the capital to protect him. Turns out he only did it to make a beauty smile. I'll let this one slide!!
"Uh..."
Jiang Xue's eye twitched as she watched. The Qin family really was full of oddballs.
Seeing Qin Hao's furious expression, she'd even thought up a slogan for their rebellion. Who knew he'd turn around and decide to keep enduring it?
"Song and dance performance?!"
