Gong Zhenyong was quite courteous to the young man beside him, who was dressed in brocade and a golden crown. Looking at Li Guanyi, he said with a hint of annoyance, "Kid, hurry up and come out. What, is it really that comfortable staying in this place?!"
"Hurry and come out."
Li Guanyi put on his shoes and stepped out. Although he had only been here for two nights, it felt like a long time. The sunlight falling on him was warm.
Li Zhaowen, not very politely, put his arm around Li Guanyi's shoulder, opened his folding fan to shield them both, and said with a smile, "I say, Brother Li, although I mentioned before that with your temperament and martial skills, you might end up in prison someday."
"But you didn't have to give me face like this."
"It's only been a few days, and you've really ended up inside?"
Li Zhaowen teased him, appearing quite at ease. However, Li Guanyi felt this guy had a bit of a sharp tongue. He cupped his hands towards Gong Zhenyong and said, "Thank you for the trouble, General."
Gong Zhenyong's impression of this young man improved, and he said, "What nonsense."
"If you encounter such a situation and don't take action, I'd be the one to kick you out of the Jinwu Guard. When it's time to act, you act. If something happens, I've got your back, and if I can't handle it, there's someone above me who can."
