Zheng Quchi clenched his fists and raised his neck: "...Who is afraid of whom?"
She lost her temper.
...Now she is still standing on his property. Lan Yue went to find someone. Wu Liang and the others were guarding outside the golden platform and did not follow. Liu Fengmian is a weak scholar and a three-legged cat. She is not as good as a three-legged cat. What if he gets angry? What should I do if I call her a missing person?
This is not alarmist, but a lesson learned from the past. If he wants to take her away, not even the Julu Kingdom will dare to stop her.
At this time, a heat source behind her leaned against her back, and a pair of graceful hands placed on her shoulders to give her strength: "So what if I am your enemy? Don't forget, this is the country of Ye, and she is the wife of the general. , unless you raise the troops of Beiyuan Kingdom to rob her, no one can take her away."
Zheng Quchi suddenly realized, yes, ordinary people have been working as ordinary people for a long time and have forgotten that after her husband died, she inherited everything from him. Now she can be regarded as one of the most powerful people in Ye country.
Who has as much military power as she does? Not only does she have the Four Elephants Army left by her late husband, but now she also has the golden seal given by His Highness the Crown Prince to mobilize the three armies of Ye State.
She was convinced and her tone changed: "Who is afraid of whom!"
She dared again.
Gongshu Jiruo's glazed eyes shot out two gleams of cold light, and he looked at Liu Fengmian: "Who are you?"
Liu Fengmian asked with a strange look on his face: "Didn't I talk to you before? I am Liu Fengmian, the second son of Lord Liu Guogong."
His expression was so innocent and confused, as if he didn't understand what Gongshu Jiruo was saying.
"You're not." Gongshu Jiruo said firmly.
Zheng Quchi couldn't listen, and she said: "He is not, are you? Besides, does it have anything to do with what we are talking about whether he is or not? In short, the matter of today's interview has been made clear..."
Gongshu Jiruo didn't want to hear a word about her disowning her relationship with him at this time, so he interrupted: "You don't want to undo the poison for your sister?"
There was such a big grudge, estrangement, and hatred between them. Why couldn't she still be so shy as to ask his second uncle to remove Yaomei's poison?
"I have other ideas, so I don't have to worry about you anymore. Let's just say goodbye."
Instead of waiting for his so-called second uncle to come and be blackmailed by him, she would rather take the risk and find a way to get the "Dream of the Sacred Tree" in the Queen's Palace.
Seeing that she wanted to draw a clear line with him from now on, and turned around to leave, Gongshu Jiruo stretched out his hand to keep her, but in the end his hand froze there, and his pride and dignity held his body firmly in place.
"I heard that you are going to participate in the Six Nations Military Trial?"
Hearing this, Zheng Quchi stopped, but she did not look back: "I just met Mo Ye not long ago. He told me that if I lose the Six Kingdoms Trial, then I will have to face the Six Kingdoms to destroy Ye. Real battlefield, he also said that he wanted me to follow him because I would have no choice."
As she spoke, she slowly turned around, looked into Gongshu Jiruo's furious eyes, and smiled: "Are the words you are about to say as threatening and despicable as him?"
Gongshu's pupils were like earthquakes, and he suddenly became mute.
Ruler, I don't want to become so despicable, but I don't know what to do to keep you.
"Whether it's you or Mo Ye, if you have the ability to test the soldiers of the Six Nations, just come over. Even if I, Zheng Quchi, lose, I will lose standing and never bow my head and beg for mercy."
She reached out and hugged Sang Yaomei from Liu Fengmian's arms, then turned around and went out. However, Liu Fengmian did not follow immediately. He looked at Gongshu Jiruo with a strange smile: "Gongshu, everyone, one step is wrong, and every step is wrong." , you must not change it, because I am afraid that you will... be in ruins."
After leaving these words without meaning, he followed Zheng Quchi's back and left.
Gongshu, who was left in the room, was like a withered and pale sculpture, with the storm roaring in his eyes, and after a long time, his eyes were soaked with black drowning, gloomy and cold.
There is nothing he can't get. Since Zheng Quchi wants to compete head-on with him, he will help her... She may think that the weapons of military horses are as sharp as wooden weapons, and they can win in comparison. Then she So naive.
There is a huge difference between Beiyuan and Ye Country. After he asked her to witness it with her own eyes, she completely gave up her desire to survive for Ye Country. Annihilation was the only outcome for Ye Country.
——
After "thump thump thump" left the golden stage without resting, Zheng Quchi immediately met up with Wu Liang and the others. After seeing his own people, Zheng Quchi's little heart that was beating so fast became a little calmer.
Wu Liang, Kong Li and Sixi saw that she seemed frightened, and immediately asked nervously: "What's wrong, madam? What happened?"
She breathed a long sigh of relief, straightened her eyes, and couldn't help but sigh: "I just mocked Gongshu Jiruo severely, and even claimed that I would let him come over in the Six Nations Military Trial. Do you dare to believe it?"
Of course Wu Liang and the others knew who Gongshu Jiruo was. It might be an exaggeration for this name to be a household name in the seven countries, but anyone with a little knowledge knew that it was true.
Hearing Madam say this in such a teasing and self-deprecating tone, I don't know if it's true or not, but the expressions on the three of them are very wonderful.
Wu Liang asked uncertainly: "Is the person from Beiyuan Kingdom... that Madam said about public loss?"
"Who else besides him?" Zheng Quchi asked.
The steward's eyes widened and he gave a thumbs-up sign to Zheng Quchi: "Madam, you are so powerful. Gongshu Jiruo has three thousand elite disciples under his command. Each of them has extraordinary abilities and considerable power. They are among the tens of thousands of people in the seven kingdoms. There are many of them even in Ye Kingdom, we must be more careful when walking at night in the future."
Si Xi shook his head and corrected him: "Why don't you walk at night? You have to pay attention to suspicious people who come and go at any time during the day, so as not to be plotted by his pestering Gongshu disciples."
Zheng Quchi: "...I am timid to begin with, but you still scare me?"
When Wu Liang was sure that the general's wife was not joking, but was clearly announcing a "bad news" to them, his eyes seemed to fall into darkness for an instant.
"Madam, you are so cowardly. When we meet Gongshu, we don't talk loudly to him. We would bow our backs unconsciously when talking normally, but Madam can confront him in such an awe-inspiring manner. It's really Die Hard. "
They didn't know that Yu Wensheng's death was closely related to Gongshu Jiruo. Only Zheng Quchi, who had witnessed the steel clamp machine used by those mysterious men in blue robes at that time, followed the clues and thought clearly, finally admitted it to Gongshu Jiruo himself. Only then did the truth become clear.
"Stop talking and leave quickly."
Wu Liang looked behind her and asked, "Madam, where is Mr. Liu?"
Zheng Quchi was stunned, and when he looked back, there was no figure of Liu Fengmian around the gate of Huanghuangtai: "Hey, where is the person?"
Sixi touched her nose and asked in a low voice: "Madam, did you leave Young Master Liu alone in there?"
Will he be torn into pieces by the public losers?
Just as they were imagining the horrific scene, Liu Fengmian staggered out. His clothes were unnaturally messy, and his expression was a bit dazed, as if he had just woken up.
Zheng Quchi immediately stepped forward very apologetically. She had just rushed forward without looking back, completely forgetting Liu Fengmian's existence. She thought he had followed her out, but she didn't expect that he had been missing for so long. I just remembered it after someone reminded me.
"Brother Liu, what's wrong with you? Are you scared?"
Liu Fengmian looked thoughtful when he saw her, and then seemed to be thinking about something: "Brother and sister, that master..."
"What an expert? That person is just a loser. That's all. I'll handle this matter myself. Brother Liu, I'm sorry to trouble you this time. When I have the opportunity in the future, I will arrange a banquet to entertain you as a thank you."
Liu Fengmian couldn't hide his surprise when he heard the words "If the public loses, it will be like this": "If the public loses, it will be like...he is here too?"
"This time the Six Nations tested their troops, all kinds of monsters and monsters came. Our Ye country was originally weak, but now the situation is even more difficult." Zheng Quchi sighed with a headache.
Liu Fengmian took her to a secluded place aside and whispered: "Brother and sister, why don't you decline your position as the adjutant of the Six Nations Trial Soldiers of Ye Kingdom?"
After Zheng Quchi considered his sincere suggestion for 0.01 second, he suddenly said with a serious face: "Brother Liu, how about... let's defect out of Ye country together?"
Liu Fengmian was frightened on the spot. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to their conversation, so he smiled bitterly: "Brother, sister-in-law, what are you talking about? You can't say this nonsense. My Liu family has been with us for decades. Don’t let your reputation be ruined on me.”
Zheng Quchi said seriously: "That's what I think. Since we want to retreat, let's retreat completely. The Six Nations Trial Army will definitely lose, and Ye Kingdom will be over sooner or later. It's better for us to think about our retreat in advance and forget about other things." , find a way out for yourself first."
Liu Fengmian suddenly understood: "..."
Well, even if he was too quick to talk and said the wrong thing, she didn't have to be so sarcastic.
Zheng Quchi didn't mean to be sarcastic, she just wanted to tell him one thing: "Brother Liu, our roots are in the country of Ye. You can't leave, and neither can I. I want to retreat bravely, but I can't retreat anymore." .”
Liu Fengmian just felt - "But you are a woman, these things shouldn't happen..."
"How about you come up?" Zheng Quchi batted his eyelashes.
Liu Fengmian's breath was held in his throat. He couldn't swallow it or spit it out.
He hesitated awkwardly: "I can't..."
Seeing that he was determined to help her and was "never leaving" to her in Kuizi's room today, she might as well reveal her truest feelings: "Everyone who can do it in Ye country is scared out of their wits. They can't do it." They are also used to having people up there to protect them from the wind and rain. If I had an umbrella to cover my head, I wouldn’t be that brave. But as you can see, I am surrounded by troubles and many enemies. If I don’t actively solve them, , only I will never have peace."
Hearing this, Liu Fengmian seemed to realize how difficult it was for her to be in her current position. She must have experienced a lot and felt a lot to have tempered an indomitable will at such a young age.
——
In order to wait for the news from Lan Yue, Zheng Quchi specially found a tea room nearby. Wu Liang was watching outside while Sixi went to meet Lan Yue. During the period, she also chatted with Liu Fengmian casually.
"Qu Chi, you are really different from all the women I have seen." Liu Fengmian said.
This time he didn't call her sister-in-law. Instead, he called her by her name because he truly recognized and understood her as a person.
Zheng Quchi disagreed: "When you are in love with other women and you are in love with me, you naturally have different feelings. In fact, when men and women are in love, the process is the same, unreasonable quarreling, reconciliation, breakup, quarreling again and reconciliation."
Listening to her "very authentic" summary of the affairs between men and women, Liu Fengmian twitched the corner of his mouth: "No, I'm not talking about that, I am saying that sometimes you are too hard, like a straight upward tree, actively absorbing the sun, constantly Strengthen yourself.”
There is another sentence, which he does not mention in a subtle way, that is, if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them.
This description fit some of her characteristics, but it was not entirely correct. She replied: "I think you look like a leaf-tailed gecko."
"What is this?" Liu Fengmian had never heard of it.
"A very magical creature. It can adjust the color and pattern of its skin to blend in with its surroundings, making it difficult to be discovered. It also has a unique camouflage strategy, which is to use its tail to deceive its enemies. Ye A gecko will have a distinct eye pattern on its tail, which can give enemies the illusion that it is a larger, more aggressive creature."
After a long explanation, Zheng Quchi stared intently at Liu Fengmian's eyes. However, he didn't have any strange expression at all. He was just naturally surprised and said: "There are such...what kind of creatures in this world?" ?”
What is a living thing?
What does living things and all things mean?
Zheng Quchi withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes and said, "Of course."
Not only in the animal kingdom, but also in humans.
"lady."
Not long after, Si Xi and Lan Yue finally came back, and they successfully found Brother Sang. It was only because he was lame and couldn't walk fast that it delayed them for a while.
Brother Sang came to the tea house with a hurried look. When he saw Sang Yaomei sleeping in Zheng Quchi's arms, he was relieved: "Chizi, Yaomei..."
"Brother, don't panic, and don't blame yourself. Yaomei is fine. She was just a little frightened earlier, and now she is so tired that she fell asleep. But with her memory, she will probably forget everything when she wakes up."
She asked him to sit down and talk, and poured him a cup of tea to soothe his throat.
"It's okay, it's all my fault. If I had been more careful and paid more attention, I wouldn't have let Yaomei be kidnapped..."
Lan Yue did not tell the truth to Brother Sang. According to what the madam told her, she said that Yaomei was abducted by traffickers and she happened to meet the madam and the others on the road and rescued her.
"Brother, I don't blame you for this. It's because I didn't arrange it properly. I think it's not safe to stay in an inn after all. I happened to meet Brother Liu in Shengjing. His mansion is spacious and quiet. It's better for you and Yaomei to stay together for a while. Are you going to live in Liu Mansion first?"
This surname reminded Brother Sang of "Liu Fengmian". He asked, "Liu? Is he related to his brother-in-law?"
Zheng Quchi had just discussed this matter with Liu Fengmian. It was inconvenient for her to expose her eldest brother and her younger sister. This could easily be taken advantage of by someone with intentions. Therefore, even the Wei and Wang families who were closely related to her could not do it. Only the Liu family This side has not been brought to the surface for the time being, so it can be covered up for a while.
"Yes, he is a relative of your brother-in-law. He is from the same clan and is related to us by marriage." (End of Chapter)
