Zheng Quchi stubbornly refused to give up and looked at Gongshu.
Even if Yu Wensheng is the general of Ye State, if Gongshu is from Beiyuan, there is no need to fight him at the border of Julu State. Moreover, this is the "Jichun Craftsmen's Guild" organized by him, and he should just want everything to go smoothly. , I don’t want to cause any complications...
But now listening to his words, has he done something to Yu Wensheng and the others?
Or, did he already know that Yu Wensheng went to Qianshu Palace to steal the layout?
She quickly glanced away, stared at the air and pondered for a moment, and said, "I'm not waiting for anyone."
Gong Shu Jiruo looked far away, and saw the shining light in the dark sky, more dazzling than the stars. After a slight pause, he spoke in a tolerant and restrained tone.
"Aqing, Yu Wensheng has abandoned you. Regardless of whether you are waiting for him or not, you are the only one left."
When Zheng Quchi heard what he said, she first reflected on the meaning of his words for a while. Although he used the word "abandonment" which was very unpleasant, she seemed to understand what happened.
She organized her words and said slowly: "I know what I am doing and what I want to do, and I also know how to take my way home. It doesn't matter whether I have a companion or not. The path I want to take is a matter of life and death. I am not the kind of person who just stays where I am and just waits for others to reach out. You underestimate me too much."
It is her personal wish to join the "Jichun Craftsmen's Union", and it is also her personal wish to choose to help Yu Wensheng. She is not anyone's responsibility or obligation, and she will be responsible for her own life.
Gongshu Jiruo didn't expect that she would react like this.
Most people would be angry and panicked, if not sad, when they heard their companions abandoning them, but she always believed in one thing.
She believes in herself.
She never attaches her roots and vines to other people's bodies. She pierces them deeply into the earth to absorb nutrients and strengthen herself. No matter how strong the wind and rain are, no matter how strong the wind and rain are, no matter how the mountains collapse and the ground is broken, no matter how high the mountains collapse, they cannot shake it. Her own solidity.
"Aqing, I finally realized something."
Why does it have to be her?
Apart from saving him, what was it about her that made him think about her so much that after thinking about her, an inch of lovesickness turned into a thousand years of love?
What he had never admired was Gong Shulan's kind of person who risked his life for love, annihilated his own temperament and brightness, and would only fall into the swamp of misery and be unable to extricate himself.
But he doesn't know what type of woman he will be obsessed with in the future. Maybe he will never meet that kind of soul-matching person in his life.
But his luck was that he didn't deliberately look for her, but a disaster, an accident, or a fatal disaster made him meet her.
What is he talking about?
"Yu Wensheng and the others have abandoned you and led his troops to leave Yongfeng Mountain. He also stole a particularly important letter for the Julu Kingdom. In order to make this piece of information an important key to the Jedi's comeback, I believe him We will break through the siege and return home as soon as possible at all costs, for this reason..."
He looked at Zheng Quchi and said quietly: "He did not hesitate to use you as bait to confuse everyone's attention. He put you in the open and diverted attention. Under circumstances that none of us expected, he did not do anything. He hesitated and fled with everyone."
Zheng Quchi's brain circuit is sometimes very different from other people's. Before becoming emotional, he first looks at things from a rational perspective.
Wei Yao originally asked her to attract everyone's attention in the Thousand Trees Palace and gain opportunities for Yu Wensheng... Could it be that it also provided cover for their safe evacuation later?
Then her mission as a lurker must have been completed satisfactorily.
She lowered her eyes and said calmly: "Why does such an important letter from Julu Kingdom appear in Wujue Temple, which is isolated from worldly disputes?"
When Gongshu saw that she had never said a word about Yu Wensheng's behavior of using her completely and then abandoning her, did she not care, or did she care so much that she closed her heart and numbed it?
He couldn't understand, but he saw that she hit the nail on the head and asked the core of the matter, and he didn't hide it from her.
"Because Wujue Temple is not a simple temple. Most people in Julu country do not believe in Buddhism. This Buddhist temple was built just to attract people from other countries. Its existence is also a spy agency that can pass on information."
"...Why are you so frank all of a sudden?" She was frightened.
This matter is very confidential. Although Yu Wensheng knows it, he knows it, but ordinary people like her will probably never guess how deep it really is if they don't reveal it.
Also, how could he be so aware of the secret espionage wars in the world? It was hard for her not to suspect that he might have had a hand in it.
Gongshu Jiruo looked at her deeply and whispered, "Because I want to confess something to you."
Zheng Quchi clenched his fists and asked, "Do you already know who I am?"
"Ah Qing or Zheng Quchi." He said.
"..." It was really completely exposed.
"But I'm used to calling you Ah Qing. I'll call you Ah Qing from now on."
Now there is no point in asking him when he found out. She saw that they had revealed their identities, so she might as well just talk about it completely.
"Do you think what you want to confess is the same thing as what I have always wanted to ask you?" She stared at him intently.
Gongshu Jiruo's eyes darkened slightly, and when his long eyelashes fell down, his face as white as snow showed a sense of loneliness and silence: "I knew about Gongshu Lan's plan to frame you back in Fu County."
Zheng Quchi's eyes froze.
"Her parents saved me when Gongshu's family was in civil strife. Although they both died not because of me, I still owe their family a favor. Therefore, the branch Gongshulan has always grown up in the main family."
"Before she was taken back to Gongshu's home, her parents asked their friends to take her to the King's Palace in Ye to escape the disaster for a period of time. After the civil strife in Gongshu's family ended, she was taken back and faced the death of her parents. Such a major change, coupled with the fact that she had to move to a distant home where she was unfamiliar with strict rules and regulations, soon after seeing her again, her personality had changed drastically."
Zheng Quchi frowned. Who didn't have a miserable past? Just like their Zheng family, their family was ruined. Why didn't they see their brothers and sisters having perverted personalities and killing innocent people indiscriminately?
"I don't want to know about her past experiences. Everyone does things for a purpose. I just want to know that I have no enmity with her. Why would she do this?"
Gongshu Jiruo said: "If you continue to listen, you will understand the cause and effect of everything."
All right.
Zheng Quchi held back his mood and motioned for him to continue.
"She had no parental upbringing when she was a child, and I was busy with my affairs, so there were things I couldn't take care of. So when she was so helpless, she pinned all her hopes and imaginations on a shadow of nothingness."
"In order to be able to see that person again in the future, she worked hard to learn Gongshu's carpentry skills, mechanisms and equipment, just to be able to help him one day."
"In her heart, there is no me, no Gongshu, only that person. When she finally had the ability to leave Gongshu, she sneaked onto a cargo ship while I was away, planning to sneak to Ye country. But she never thought that she would be discovered by the other party and imprisoned in the cabin. She probably never thought at the time that her leaving would ruin the rest of her life."
"The shadow you are talking about...is Yu Wensheng?" she thought thoughtfully.
"It's him. In order to stay by his side, Gongshu Lan wants to get rid of everyone who threatens her. When she learns that Yu Wensheng is married, she will naturally be filled with jealousy and hatred. She wants to get rid of him, but She is worried that Yu Wensheng will hate her when he finds out, so she plans to frame you in a roundabout way. If the brother you play becomes the sinner who betrays Yu Wensheng, then Zhu Lian will also be guilty of it."
After hearing these previous stories, she finally understood what the purpose of her life was.
Seeing that Zheng Quchi was stunned and speechless, Gongshu Jiruo continued: "Your identity changed at that time. I didn't expect that it would be so complicated. By the time I knew that you were Yu Wensheng's brother-in-law, it was too late. .”
How could Gongshu Jiruo have imagined that Yu Wensheng actually married Zheng Quchi, and Zheng Quchi and Sang Xuanqing were the same person. Although if he had been more considerate and asked Gongshu Lan more, or investigated carefully in private, It would be clear... but he was so conceited that he didn't care.
But just such an oversight almost made him regret it for the rest of his life.
He solemnly apologized to her: "I'm sorry, for my own selfishness, in order to tie up a boring favor, I committed the crime of selfishness and neglect. This is the fault I committed. I am willing to pay the price and be with you." I feel guilty about punishment, especially for you..."
He apologized so sincerely, without quibbles, cover-ups, or shirks, but Zheng Quchi felt that it was difficult to express his anger, to express his anger, and to express his anger.
She lowered her eyes and said, "What would you have done if I had been killed by the barbarians?"
Gongshu was silent for a moment, but he didn't go against his will or exaggerate to say he would die to apologize.
He said: "I will take care of your funeral affairs and use my whole life to keep your brothers and sisters safe and worry-free. I will not marry in this life, be alone and have no children, and have no descendants until I have completed my mission as the head of the family." After accepting the responsibility, I will kneel in front of your grave and go down to make amends with you.”
Zheng Quchi listened to him talk about his plans for the rest of his life in one breath, as if he had made a draft early in the morning. Without thinking, he was really stunned for a long time.
If she doesn't marry in this life, she will be alone and have no children, and she will have no children or grandchildren... He even dares to say such things, but if she really dies, even if he makes himself a eunuch, it will not help at all.
The culprit, Gong Shulan, had been killed by her, and even though his accomplice was extremely hateful... However, she took out the "thank you gift" he had given her before, a small sign that was dark brown and almost black.
She suddenly asked: "Do you know Mu Zaiqi?"
"The curtain is strange..." When Gongshu saw her taking out the token, he knew that she would always carry it with her. He nodded: "I know you. He has written to tell me what happened to you before."
So, he already knew what happened to her before.
"He helped me because you gave me this thing. At first, you only asked someone to give it to me without even a few words of explanation. But now can you tell me what it is?"
Zheng Quchi pulled off the small plaque made of strange material from his neck and waved it in front of him.
Gongshu Jiruo said: "This is the Heiqi Order. As the personal accessory of the head of the Gongshu family, it is also a symbol of mine. If you hold it, whether you are a direct disciple of the Gongshu family or a collateral disciple of the Gongshu family, you will Just obey."
Zheng Quchi was surprised: "You, how could you give this to me? We didn't know each other at all at the beginning. Although I saved your life, you don't know my character, so you..." Spend such a huge sum of money?
What if she is a villain who repays kindness, or a lion opens his mouth?
Gongshu Jiruo took a step forward in vain, his snow-like eyes traced her outline, and he secretly said: "You will never know how much you touched me at that time. I am very grateful now for that moment." Impulse, and later you are helped because of it, instead of being alone in the enemy camp."
Zheng Quchi took a step back and handed the Black Qiling to him: "Give it back to you. I have used it once. Although you hurt me, you helped me invisibly. Now I just want to know, How do you Gongshu people plan to deal with the fact that I killed Gongshu Lan?"
When Gongshu Jiruo heard this, he paused for a moment: "Don't worry, no one will know that you killed Gongshu Lan. She had the intention of harming others, and her death at your hands is not unjust. This matter does not need to be handled by someone else." You are responsible."
Zheng Quchi was confused when he heard this: "How come no one knows? What does it mean that I don't need to be responsible? Could it be that the daughter of a direct family member died without any investigation or questioning?"
There were so many people present who saw it... By the way, those people were all Yu Wensheng's people, as well as some of Mo Ye's remaining troops. If Yu Wensheng silenced all those who knew about it and ordered all his subordinates to keep this secret …
But the public losers are not stupid, won’t people know how to check?
As long as you check, there will always be fish that slip through the net.
Unless you don't check...
"Did you do it?"
Did he cover up all the evidence for her, or did he bear all the blame and pressure for her, so she didn't have to bear this responsibility?
Even if Gongshuo roughly understands what she means, he has done this, but what he has done is not fully borne. After all, being a public loser is not just his words. There are layers of restrictions and rules, even if it is Nor can he break away from his restraints.
Gongshu Lan's death, Gongshu family must have an explanation, it is related to the majesty and shock of Gongshu family, so he will give them an explanation to calm down this turmoil.
"All you need to know now is that the relationship between Public Loser and you will not be hostile. It is useless to delve into the rest of the matter. So, what are your plans next?"
After he gave his conclusion, he immediately changed the topic.
Having solved a major problem at once, Zheng Quchi let out a long breath.
He asked her what her plans were next. She had finished what she had to do now, so she naturally wanted to go home.
She said: "I want to go back to Fu County."
However, Gongshu Jiruo said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to go back for the time being."
Zheng Quchi asked: "Why?"
"Because Ye Country is about to fall into a continuous war situation, no matter where you go in the Seven Kingdoms, you will be safer than staying in Ye Country."
