Get Demoted Into Cannon Fodder

Arc 2.3

Staring at Zheng Zhi's figure which is drifting further away, He Tian couldn't help but ask,"You let him go just like that?"

Shi Shen indifferently replied,"No rush. We will meet sooner or later."

Apparently, He Tian realized that Shi Shen didn't really put Zheng Zhi in his eyes.

Recalling how he had dealt with Ting Shiqing, He Tian couldn't help but lit a candle for Zheng Zhi.

As expected, a few days later Shi Shen finally 'heard' the news that Zheng Zhi was currently in the city so he pestered his parents to go and meet him.

In the end, the couple lost to their son and sent an envoy to inform the general household.

However, the other party told them that Zheng Zhi was at the barracks and did not intend to come back till later in the afternoon.

The couple thought that their son would give up but who knows that he actually declared that he will deliver his lunch for him.

Actually, they have never known that their son could cook! (o｀ﾟ皿ﾟ)

Also why would that brat get to be the first person to eat his cooking?!

Shi Shen just casually told them that he knows how to cook from reading the books so he was not guaranteed that he could cook properly.

Of course, he only wanted to put a show in how much he 'loved' his fiance but he didn't care whether he will get food poisoning or not from his 'first time' cooking.

It took him one hour by carriage to arrive at his destination.

Once again, Shi Shen dressed in a simple white robe with white peony pattern while a veil was covering his face.

"I have been meaning to ask you this. Did wearing white make you look noble?"

He didn't want to comment on his taste but dressing in purely white, doesn't it seem a bit hypocrite?

To his response, Shi Shen simply answered,"It's easier to tell that they are getting dirty."

He Tian, "......" Okay, I forgot that you are a clean freak.

"I'm sorry but outsiders cannot enter."

The soldiers guarding the entrance blocked his carriage from entering.

Of course they know that this carriage belong to the Prince Gu Estate but they couldn't just let them enter without any permission.

They were from the imperial family so should they them in or not?

While the two were struggling, a soft and crisp was suddenly being heard from inside the carriage.

"Report to your general that Prince Chun is here to see him."

Seeing that the guest didn't make a fuss, the guards heaved a sigh in relief and quickly get someone to notify the general.

"Hey, what if Zheng Zhi won't let you in?"

Unlike He Tian who was a bit anxious, Shi Shen on the other hand was leisurely sipping his tea.

"He will let me in."

The relationship between Zheng Zhi and Gu Rong during this time was not that bad. What's more Zheng Zhi knows better not to offend the imperial family.

He may just have an empty prince title but Zheng Zhi still needed to give him face.

All of a sudden, He Tian's voice rang out,"Wait! Xu Huang is also coming here!"
