The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

Chapter 583

After all, this was the first time that Qingfeng Village faced off against the imperial army.

This is the first battle to test the combat effectiveness of Qingfeng Village. No matter how good the plan is, it still needs to be tested through actual combat.

At this moment, Xiangling came over to sit next to Qingfeng Li with a plate in her hand. Seeing Qingfeng Li's solemn expression, she said softly,

"Sir, Madam Ruyi and Madam Changle learned that you were still awake, so they specially prepared some midnight snacks and asked me to bring them to you."

Qingfeng Li's expression softened slightly, and he pointed at the table and smiled at Xiangling.

"Put it on the table first!"

Xiangling was slightly startled, then nodded weakly and put the plate on the table, saying,

"Sir, you must eat it while it's hot, otherwise it will get cold and that would be bad!"

Knowing that Qingfeng Li was worried, Xiangling bowed slightly to him and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, Qingfeng Li stopped him.

Xiangling looked at Qingfeng Li with some confusion.

Qingfeng Li walked over to Xiangling, smiled and reached out to touch her little head, then looked at Xiangling and asked,

"Xiangling, Qingfeng Village is conducting its first census these days. Do you still remember where your home was?"

"Maybe I can even help you find your family during the census!"

Xiangling's eyes immediately turned red when she heard this. She raised her head and choked up as she said to Qingfeng Li,

"Master, don't you want Xiangling anymore?"

Li Qingfeng smiled and shook his head.

"Silly girl, what are you talking about? How could I bear to give up such a cute and obedient little maid and secretary like you?"

Xiangling's expression brightened when she heard this, and she lowered her head with a red face.

Qingfeng Li stroked Xiangling's little head and continued with a smile,

"I also learned about what happened back then from that kidnapper. Your life has been quite difficult. If you had at least one or two relatives still alive, you wouldn't be like a rootless duckweed..."

Xiangling shook her head and said seriously,

"No, Master, Xiangling only wishes to stay by your side and not go anywhere else. I will be your maid and serve you for the rest of my life!"

As he spoke, he choked up a bit,

"Unless you don't want me anymore!"

Qingfeng Li patted Xiangling's head.

"Nonsense! You deserve a beating! How could this young master not want you?"

Upon hearing this, Xiangling lowered her head shyly with joy.

Qingfeng Li took a deep breath and said,

"I'm just checking to see if I can find your family while you're doing the population registration so you can be reunited. I don't mean anything else!"

"Okay, go down and rest first. Tomorrow, my little secretary, don't forget the few things I asked you to remind me of."

Xiangling nodded seriously when she heard that.

"Yes! Don't worry, sir. Xiangling won't forget!"

After saying this, she bowed to Qingfeng Li and then turned and left.

Qingfeng Li smiled and shook his head.

After Xiangling left, Qingfeng Li's smile slowly faded. He turned to look at Xiao Ai, a classmate beside him, and said solemnly,

"Xiao Ai, do you think there are really gods in this world?"

Xiao Ai paused for a moment, then replied without any emotion,

"Whether there really are gods in this world is a very complex and controversial issue."

"From a scientific point of view, there is no..."

Qingfeng Li rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"The two of us, no, I've brought this machine of yours across the Red Mansion, and you're still talking to me about science?"

Then he looked out the door leisurely, narrowed his eyes slightly and said,

"Recently, as Qingfeng Village has begun to expand rapidly, I've been feeling a vague sense of crisis for some reason."

"Do you think it's because of my actions that I've attracted the attention of some unknown and mysterious people? Aren't there monks and Taoists in the original novel who are so magical?"

Xiao Ai blinked her eyes and said,

"Your feelings are likely due to recent stress from studying or work, which can lead to psychological problems. I suggest you relax with some entertainment like singing or playing chess after a busy day."
