Chapter 135: Adding Fuel to the Fire, Shen Miao's Aggrieved Feelings.
After washing up, the two sat down at the stone table in the courtyard.
The two of them are much more normal now.
Shen Miao's playful antics seem childish and mischievous.
But this is just a habit she has of trying to build relationships.
It's the same principle as Yin Ziping's excessive politeness.
Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages.
Xu Tianyi joked, "Having fun in the barracks? You've gotten quite tanned..."
Shen Miao pouted: "It's not that fun. Being stared at by a bunch of stinky men every day... I can only hide in the Shenji Camp and study firearms all day long..."
"Oh, so those grassland people aren't someone you can just shoo away?"
Upon hearing Xu Tianyi's words, Shen Miao let out a long sigh.
"It's not that simple. There's basically no chance to fight. It's been months. We've been squatting almost every day, and there are a lot of rules to follow."
Xu Tianyi nodded: "That's true, your military camp is too boring."
Shen Miao immediately empathized: "Of course! After General Yue left, Zhao Yi has been causing trouble for us all the time. I've wanted to blow him up for a long time, but he has the cultivation of a Grandmaster and controls a large army, so we don't dare to do anything reckless."
Xu Tianyi immediately chimed in, "Then what should we do?"
Shen Miao looked aggrieved: "What can I do? That dead tiger only talks big and I dare not touch him. He even tried to catch me later."
We finally couldn't take it anymore and ran away to establish Black Wind Stronghold.
"How frustrating!"
Xu Tianyi was furious and slammed his fist on the table: "Outrageous! If it were me, I would have fought him to the death!"
Shen Miao nodded frantically in agreement: "Yes, that's what I think too!"
Later, my great-aunt got a lot of gunpowder to take revenge. I thought that stinky tiger would use the new musket to get revenge on me, but I didn't expect him to use it to attack the Rock Bear tribe, saying that he wanted to avenge his brother Lin Xiu first.
"This is infuriating! This is what I was going to use against Zhao Yi!!"
Xu Tianyi was shocked: "What?! How could he do this! You've been so good to him, and he didn't even avenge you!"
Shen Miaoyue became angrier and angrier as she spoke: "That stinking tiger! He said he would avenge me after defeating the grassland people, but unexpectedly, he was ambushed by Zhao Yi and almost lost his life there! Now, we've done all the work for our enemy. Zhao Yi will take the head back to claim his reward, and we'll have to abandon our armor and flee back to our mountain stronghold."
The stinky tiger started drowning his sorrows in alcohol, getting completely drunk every day.
Xu Tianyi continued to fan the flames: "You're really useless! You're so negative about such a small setback! And you call yourself the Tiger King? I think you're just a worried cat!"
Shen Miao slammed her hand on the table: "That's right! I can't stand him either, but there's nothing I can do but advise him to cheer up and start over."
After finally managing to persuade him, I unexpectedly received a letter from my grandfather saying that the Shen family was in great trouble and that I should come home to help.
He even wrote a letter in blood! He said he was about to die and his home was about to be overrun by rebel soldiers, and asked me to bring troops back to help.
My God, my great-aunt was almost frantic when she saw the letter written in blood.
But when I told that stinky tiger to bring his troops back to help the Shen family, he kept stammering and dragging it out day after day.
They even said they wanted to protect the people of Yunzhou. Pah!
He's a bandit, what right does he have to protect the people of Yunzhou!
Xu Tianyi added fuel to the fire: "Then why are you still tolerating him! Isn't he hopeless? You've helped him so much, and he doesn't even know how to repay you!"
Last time the Shen family was in trouble, I risked my life to protect them, almost losing my life there. This little tiger is no good; he's disloyal!
Shen Miao was deeply moved; she had obviously heard about Xu Tianyi's help last time.
She immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Of course! How could I tolerate him? I ran away overnight!"
I wanted to give him another chance, so the next day I turned around and went back to the military camp to see if he was in a hurry to come after me.
I never expected this! He and his cronies were so drunk that they didn't even notice.
So I'm not going to serve you anymore; I'm riding straight back to the Shen family.
Xu Tianyi looked incredulous: "Does he think you're useless and doesn't want you anymore?"
My God, you know me, if my friend leaves, I'll definitely chase after him to apologize!
Shen Miaoda agreed wholeheartedly: "No, he was unhappy and angry, so his auntie coaxed him. Now that his auntie is in trouble, he's pretending to be dead!"
As she spoke, Shen Miao began to lose her energy.
"Let's not talk about him anymore. What's even more infuriating is that when I got back to the Shen family, I didn't expect the old man to lie to me as well. He was in great spirits, and nothing had happened to the Shen family."
My great-aunt was so angry she was about to hang herself, so in a fit of rage I came to find you.
Shen Miao rested her chin on her hand, looking helpless, and complained bitterly about her tragic experiences over the past few months.
She had initially thought Hu Wei was a good person, but Xu Tianyi's words last time made her want to test him. After the test, she finally gave up and realized that he was indeed not suitable.
He then thought he should come and ask Xu Tianyi what to do, since the Shen family also needed Xu Tianyi's help.
Xu Tianyi had thought Shen Miao would be happy when she insisted on going back to find Hu Wei, but he never expected her to come back.
It seems I've disrupted the original plot.
In the original storyline, Shen Miao was supposed to spend three or four years with Hu Wei in Black Wind Village. It was only then that Hu Wei and Shen Miao would go to fight for the Immortal Mask and, incidentally, go to the Shen family to confirm their relationship because Zhao Yi was incompetent and Yunzhou was invaded, and Hu Wei's Black Wind Village also failed to withstand the grassland coalition.
Xu Tianyi thought about it more and more and felt that Shen Miao was amazing. She had supported Hu Wei all the way, but it seemed that Hu Wei had not achieved much.
The Shen family was right; Hu Weizhen was no match for Yue Shan.
Upon closer reflection, if Shen Miao supported Yue Shan, Yue Shan might still have a chance to change the world. But if she supported Hu Wei, she couldn't even protect Yunzhou. Now, she's left with only a commander-in-chief who plans to use the Immortal Mask to cheat his way out of the grasslands and reclaim Yunzhou for revenge.
Then I thought again, what if Shen Miao supported me?
Xu Tianyi had a sudden inspiration and supported me. I directly ushered in the Industrial Age, with everyone equipped with an Iron Guard mech. What grasslands, moon wheels, and sun wheels? We can fight them all with ease.
His thoughts soared to the heavens.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you thinking about! Your grandma is asking you a question!"
Xu Tianyi regained consciousness, and Shen Miao was waving her hand in front of him.
"What are you asking...?"
Shen Miao crossed her arms and said, "Grandma's in a bad mood, hurry up and find something to cheer her up!"
Xu Tianyi laughed heartily: "You should go find Little Fox, she'll definitely like you..."
"Who's this little fox? Is it a new friend? Or do you have a pet? Let me see it..."
Xu Tianyi smiled slightly: "Alright, alright, I'll take you to the Ministry of Works tomorrow, I guarantee you'll have a great time..."
Shen Miao clapped her hands with a cheerful laugh: "Then it's decided!"
After saying that, she turned and rushed into the house: "Grandma is sleepy, remember to wake me up tomorrow..."
"Hey!! That's my room!!"
Xu Tianyi looked helpless.
Fortunately, Shen Miao wasn't a little fox; she still had some manners. After calling out twice, she went upstairs to stay.
Xu Tianyi arranged for several maids to come and clean, and then he lay down to rest.
Both of them had been traveling all day and were exhausted, so they quickly fell asleep.
