Yu Wensheng was overjoyed because of her intelligence and keenness, and chuckled lowly: "Yes, do you know who cleared all the defenses from Guixuan Ridge to Shuguan and Tianqian in Fu County? Who arranged for the barbarians to enter the country and prepare to kill the craftsmen and destroy the city walls, and who sent the message to the Julu Kingdom in your name?"
Isn't it Gong Shulan?
Originally, Zheng Quchi was convinced of this answer, but then he thought, if it was really Gong Shulan who did it alone, he would not ask her in such a weird way.
Furthermore, with just Gong Shulan, she should not be able to reach out to the sky as much as she is still under the supervision of Yu Wensheng.
"Do I know this person?"
Zheng Quchi thought hard for a moment. Just because she had just traveled through time, in this narrow network of interpersonal relationships, she could actually find some suspicious people with just a little screening like this.
"Is it...Master Li?"
Although Yu Wensheng was still smiling, his beautiful features had a sinister air.
"His name is not Master Li. He is Gongshu Jiruo and Gongshu Lan's cousin."
Zheng Quchi blinked his eyes and reacted for a long time before saying "Oh", as if he was deep in thought.
Seeing that she looked confused about the situation, Yu Wensheng's eyes darkened, thinking that she had some different feelings for Master Li. Now that he knew the truth, he still refused to believe it.
Wang Zebang once mentioned a "little thing" before. In the early days of the construction of the Guixuanling city wall, the wall collapsed and people were buried in landslides. At that time, everyone was afraid of being affected and avoided it, except "Sang Xuanqing" In order to rescue Master Li, he risked his own life.
Yu Wensheng had heard about it at the time, but he had no emotions at all. But now that he knows that "Sang Xuanqing" and Zheng Quchi are the same person, what was an inconspicuous "little snowflake" has turned into a "snowball."
That "little thing" instantly put a knot in his throat.
"He secretly helped Gong Shu Lan, framed you, persecuted you, and made you step into the abyss... You can kill Gong Shu Lan, but what if Gong Shu Lan is killed?"
Zheng Quchi came back to his senses and looked at him with a rather helpless and funny look.
If he thinks it's a big watermelon, he can cut it if he wants to?
Gongshu Lan, she was so angry that she killed Uncle Mu because she learned that she had caused him to die. Although she did not regret it, she knew that she was very impulsive and had serious consequences.
She comes from a powerless background. If the public losers want to pursue her, what can she do to resist?
Sometimes she even thought negatively about it. When she was forced into desperation, she would rather trade one life for another to offset the grudge, just so as not to implicate her family.
"Master Li, it's a public loss. It turns out...each of you has such a scary identity, but why do you want to get close to me?" Zheng Quchi laughed at himself.
Yu Wensheng didn't like to hear her comparing him to Gong Shu.
Although, he also almost caused irreparable consequences without knowing that she was "Zheng Quchi".
"I don't know him, but Zheng Quchi, I didn't deliberately approach you, but you... took the initiative to choose me, do you remember?" The corners of his mouth were dyed with a dark color.
Zheng Quchi was startled.
She slapped her forehead.
Yes, when Yu Wensheng changed his name to "Liu Fengmian", he was a flower on the high mountain, and he venomously rejected those marriage partners who coveted her beauty.
But she volunteered to "sponsor" him. He was right. She was the one who took a fancy to his sickly constitution at a glance, and it was not him who seduced her.
She hurriedly said: "I remember, I remember."
"Well, then you have to remember that you should stay away from others in the future. He and you are enemies now." Yu Wensheng was very scheming to drive a wedge between the two of them.
Zheng Quchi was already very wary of Gong's loss, so she would not get close to him again without his reminding her.
But she suddenly thought: "I, I killed Gong Shu Lan. She is Gong Shu Jiruo's cousin. If he knew about this, he would definitely not let it go. Then I... would I implicate you?" No……"
You'd better divorce me.
Before she could say this, she was interrupted by Yu Wensheng: "If Gongshu wants to steal someone from me, he can come and give it a try."
This is a posture to protect her to the end.
Zheng Quchi was blocked at the corner of her mouth when she spoke, but she still chose not to express her displeasure: "...However, the other party's family has a great cause and has Beiyuan State as its backing. As the saying goes, it is better to do less than to do more. You can't let me get involved. Instead of you, why not..."
You'd better divorce me.
He interrupted again: "You have forgotten that since you marry me, you are my Yu Wensheng's wife. We are one husband and wife. Your affairs are my affairs. What if he loses his father's life and has Beiyuan as his backing? You have me." , then you don’t have to be afraid of anything.”
Zheng Quchi's mouth was half open, but he couldn't spit out a word.
Hearing him talk about it for this reason, she felt a little ignorant when she dared to mention it, so she smiled uglier than crying and said: "Then, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Don’t you just want a divorce?
It’s too fucking difficult.
She laughed, she laughed hard.
She would laugh until he couldn't bear it.
However, she didn't know that when she saw her smiling at him, even if the smile was forced and not as natural and beautiful as smiling at Wei Yao, Yu Wensheng still liked her smiling at him.
This at least meant that she wasn't indifferent to him.
He also smiled at her, tenderly, like spring flowers blooming. They compared each other, one more fake than the other: "It's not troublesome, as long as you don't run around and stay by my side, I won't let you suffer any more." A little bit of hurt.”
When he came back this time, Zheng Quchi often felt that the Yu Wensheng in front of him seemed to be a different person. He seemed to have put away all his minions and fierce looks in front of her, and put on a false human skin called "Liu Fengmian".
However, she had already seen his true face, cruel and ruthless, and without any empathy. He thought that as long as he learned, he could have normal human feelings, but she felt that he had only been setting an example for others. , similar in form but not in spirit.
Including feelings for a person.
——
Back in Ye State, Zheng Quchi thought of the fortifications at Guixuanling. After all, this was her first general contracting project. She had given up the responsibility halfway, and now that she was back, she was naturally concerned about the progress of the city wall construction.
Yu Wensheng guessed what she was thinking, so he asked Wang Zebang and the others to lead the large troops back to the camp first, while he led Zheng Quchi to Guixan Ridge first.
Along the way, the two did not talk.
Zheng Quchi didn't know what to say. She was mainly afraid that if she said something wrong and offended Yu Wensheng, he would throw her off her horse and go on her own.
She didn't know why Yu Wensheng kept silent, so she just assumed that he didn't want to talk.
When they arrived at the foot of Guixanling Mountain, the guards saw General Yuwen's team riding slowly towards them, and immediately stepped forward to greet them.
Seeing that the city wall fortifications were proceeding in an orderly manner, Zheng Quchi was relieved at the same time that it would be completed as scheduled in the near future.
Now that her identity has been exposed, she is no longer "Sang Xuanqing", and she is afraid that she will no longer be able to be a carpenter in the future.
But she is good at this. If she is asked to be a stay-at-home wife, then all the ambitions, money-making plans, and life plans she has made in her heart will not be realized.
She was unwilling and unwilling.
"Qu Chi, come here."
Yu Wensheng called her.
"What?"
When she turned around, she saw Qi Gong and other work officers coming with a group of masons.
They were all shocked when they saw Zheng Quchi dressed in women's clothing.
But maybe someone had greeted them in advance. They were dumbfounded for a moment and quickly recognized Zheng Quchi as "Sang Xuanqing".
Suddenly, they all shouted excitedly: "Sang Gong?"
Zheng Quchi saw all the familiar faces of her colleagues. She couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and said cheerfully: "Well, it's me. Are you all okay?"
"We are all fine, but I heard that... you were seriously injured in order to lure away those vicious barbarians, and were kidnapped by people from the Julu Kingdom. Your life or death is unknown..."
When some of them said this, they choked with tears and their eyes turned red. Especially when they learned that Sang Gong was actually a petite but extremely brave woman, one can imagine the shock they felt in their hearts.
Zheng Quchi was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and reassured them: "I, I'm fine too. Look, I'm not back in good health."
"We, we are all very grateful to you. If it hadn't been for you, Sang Gong, regardless of your own safety, ringing the bells, setting fire to the beacon towers, and calling for reinforcements, I'm afraid that everyone present, including me, would have died in this disaster. Among them... thank you for sacrificing yourself and saving us."
Qi Gong spoke with emotion and tears in his eyes. He called everyone behind him to kneel down and kowtow to Zheng Quchi to express his gratitude.
"Don't, don't be like this, get up quickly."
Zheng Quchi went to help the leader, but he was so stubborn that he would not give up until he kowtowed three times.
Zheng Quchi had been restraining her emotions before. She chose to tolerate and ignore her own suffering and torture. She told herself to be strong and brave, but now, they rushed up and made her nose sore. .
In fact, when faced with life and death, like everyone else, she has natural fear and timidity.
She was scared to death, but she carried it through forcefully.
Although she never thought about what she would get in return after saving people, when she received affirmation and recognition from them for what she had done, she really felt that what she had done was not meaningless.
She didn't want to cry in public, so she wiped her face, cleared her throat, and said: "Since I am responsible for you, I should take responsibility for your lives. I will not abandon you."
Everyone who heard such remarks for the first time was surprised and moved.
"Sang Gong, you saved our lives. From now on, we will never hesitate to make all your arrangements. If you say go east, we will never go west!"
Everyone swore firmly that where could such a good leader be found? From now on, they would follow her lead.
Zheng Quchi couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. These Lu men were straightforward and knew who everyone was, and they were not afraid of offending the great god like her.
No way, she was the only one to make amends for them: "I don't have the ability to save you. The one who really saves you is General Yuwen."
As soon as Zheng Quchi said these words, Qi Gong and the others felt their blood turn from hot to cold water, and their blood instantly turned cold.
They did not dare to look directly at General Yuwen. His "prestige" was really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Who could not be afraid? Only Sang Gong was brave enough to talk and laugh in front of him.
In fact, they all knew now that Sang Gong was not only a woman of Guo Kingdom, she was also the wife of General Yuwen.
When they heard the news, everyone's expressions were very wonderful. They just thought it was ridiculous and opened the door to the ridiculous. It was ridiculous to the point of being ridiculous.
"Thank you, General Yuwen."
For a moment, the thank you's voice sounded hollow and trembling, the tail notes floated upward, and I didn't dare to put it down.
Yu Wen Sheng had never paid any attention to these people, but when he saw Zheng Quchi's gaze, he responded with a gentle smile: "Madam called me to help, so I will come."
Unexpectedly, these words made the craftsmen tremble even more.
Zheng Quchi sighed and rubbed his forehead. Fortunately, Yu Wensheng didn't often appear in crowded places, otherwise everyone would have to wait in fear for him to be happy alone.
After this incident, Zheng Quchi's restless heart finally became more settled and relaxed, and the smile on his face became much more real than before.
Yu Wensheng watched her changes and smiled slightly.
Zheng Quchi, he will not let her go, so... just keep your heart and stay by his side peacefully, he will give her everything she wants.
But if she wanted to escape, then he didn't know... what he would do.
——
An old reddish-brown horse walked leisurely on a country road, and a young couple led the horse side by side. Zheng Quchi couldn't help but glance to the left.
Finally, he still couldn't help it and asked: "General Yuwen, you changed your clothes like this, brought an old horse, and didn't bring any guards. What are you doing?"
Doesn't he know how much he is hated? Just walking alone like this, are you really not afraid of being put in a sack?
Well, even if he has great martial arts skills, masters are still afraid of the crowd tactics. He is really big-hearted.
Yu Wensheng said: "Brother doesn't know these things. Let's go home and just pretend that nothing happened and everything will be as before, okay?"
As if nothing happened?
How can this be?
Although she was so slanderous in her heart, she still didn't dare to confront "Living Yama" on the surface, so she asked something about this topic that she had been wondering about for a long time: "How did you know?"
Although her question was unclear, Yu Wensheng understood what she meant.
"Do you still recognize this?"
He took out something from his waist and handed it to Zheng Quchi.
As soon as Zheng Quchi saw it, his expression changed: "Gold and jade bracelet? Why is it in your hand?"
"It shouldn't be in my hand, then whose hand should it be? Oh, by the way, I remembered that I gave it to you on our wedding night, so it should be in your hand, right? "
When Zheng Quchi heard this, his expression instantly stiffened.
Then, she heard him ask strangely: "But I took it back from another man, and he stole it privately, right?"
