Chapter 86: The Crime of Gender 86
But the pleas of the three advisors were ignored by the infuriated Qin Shuangshuang. Later, they still didn’t know anything, but Qi Pengju, who knew Qin Shuangshuang, encountered this farce when he was patrolling the border at Feiying Pass, and then stepped in to stop Qin Shuangshuang’s violent actions.
When Qi Pengju learned the whole story, he too was at a loss for words, his mouth twitching uncontrollably. He couldn’t muster any sympathy for Yan Jie, who had been beaten by Qin Shuangshuang until he looked like a pig’s head—he completely brought this on himself!
Feeling tragic and having resolved to face death, only to end up being beaten up, Yan Jie was full of grievances with nowhere to express them! As the victim, he even had to awkwardly apologize to Qin Shuangshuang. After all, it was almost his own fault for nearly getting himself killed and getting beaten by her!
With the misunderstanding resolved, Qin Shuangshuang gave Yan Jie another beating to vent her anger. Finally, she, Yan Jie (whose face was bruised and swollen), Qi Pengju, and the three advisors sat together while she recounted how she discovered the barbarian squad, and how she ventured into the Hu People Camp, killed the barbarians, and rescued the women and children. She also shared her plans for Huyan Babur.
Actually, Qin Shuangshuang’s plan for Huyan Babur was quite simple. She intended to cultivate Huyan Babur into a Great Hu Merchant to provide the Da Ran with intelligence on the barbarians!
Huyan Babur was a noble, yet he was as timid as a mouse. His close ones certainly knew of this character trait, so it was completely understandable if he claimed that after this life-threatening experience, he was so scared out of his wits that he didn’t want to be a warrior but rather a big merchant.
Regarding Qin Shuangshuang’s adventure into the Hu territory, she spoke of it lightly, whereas the listeners were on the edge of their seats, holding their breath for her. When she finished, everyone gave her a thumbs up, thoroughly impressed. This little girl is amazing!
As for cultivating Huyan Babur into a Great Hu Merchant, after some discussion, they agreed it was feasible. Whether Huyan Babur could become such a merchant was a matter for the future.
The urgent matter now was to first inform General Qi of this plan and secure his approval, while ensuring that Huyan Babur truly could be the pliable person they could use.
