Chapter 1062 - 019 A bit salty (10,000 updates)_7
"Thank heavens, I didn’t run into anyone I know, thank heavens!" Xia Zheng prayed all along the way, and just when he was about to reach the back door of the General Mansion, he suddenly heard the sound of hoofbeats getting closer from afar.
What astonished him even more was that, along with the slowly approaching hoofbeats, he could also hear an even more familiar voice speaking.
"I’m telling you, Little White Rabbit, is it really appropriate for us to go looking for Xia Zheng so late? What if General Xia discovers us? That wouldn’t be a laughing matter!" As soon as he mentioned General Xia, Su Tianrui’s neck shrank uncontrollably.
Zhao Hongde chuckled softly and asked, "What now? I knew our enemies are more afraid of my uncle, but I didn’t expect you to be so scared of him too!"
The mere mention of it almost made Su Tianrui’s eyes pop out: "Scared? I’m not just scared—I’m terrified!"
Grinding his teeth, Su Tianrui tightened the reins and said with lingering fear, "Have you forgotten? That year you and Xia Zheng played a prank on the Second Prince and drove the Great General mad; he chased Xia Zheng around the yard, wielding that big saber! You don’t know, since that day, I’ve dreamt about him every night. One time, I even dreamt that he was chasing me with his saber. Oh boy, it scared me so much that when I woke up, I was drenched as if I’d been fished out of water!"
Unable to help himself, Su Tianrui shuddered, as if he was back to witnessing the scene a few years back when Xia Zheng was "hunted" by his father.
Zhao Hongde shook his head, amused, and was about to say something when he spotted something pink moving stealthily towards a concealed spot at the street corner.
He tensed up, alert, and made a subtle gesture to Su Tianrui.
Having known Zhao Hongde for many years, the two understood each other’s thoughts with just a glance.
