Chapter 94
Xu Jue coughed and said in a low voice, "Xiu Rong, there are still people outside."

Gu Xiurong's face became even more stiff, he looked at Xu Jue: "What?"

"In front of outsiders, you have to give her face."

Xu Jue winked at her, and Gu Mingzhu said, "Brother, I'll take care of something first."

She started to leave, but Gu Xiurong said, "Wait!"

He paused and said, "I'll go with you."

Gu Mingzhu didn't quite understand, but Xu Jue nodded and said, "That's fine."

In the dark Duwei Prison, Zhu Hongyuan was bound by iron chains, and his body was covered with wounds.

He was escorted to the interrogation office.

On weekdays, where he should sit, now there is a young woman.

She was wearing a snow-white cloak and a high ponytail. She had a delicate face, just looking at her face, there was a touch of agility for no reason.

But there were two soldiers standing behind her.

Zhu Hongyuan remembered this soldier uniform, it was Yan Yunqi from Nanming.

Gu Mingzhu looked indifferently: "I heard that you want to see me?"

Zhu Hongyuan had a sullen face: "You are Gu Jue?"

"I'm."

Zhu Hongyuan snorted coldly and mocked with a smile: "I didn't expect that King Ming who caused chaos in the southeast is actually a woman."

Gu Mingzhu remained silent, her gaze fell on Zhu Hongyuan.

Zhu Hongyuan said: "You captured me these days, eating and drinking, did you think that I would be one of those weak-legged rats, and I would surrender as soon as I raised my knife? Bah! You are dreaming!"

Zhu Hongyuan spat viciously: "I've been an official for more than ten years, and I haven't seen anyone! If you have the guts, give me a good day today!"

The light in this prison is dim, and half of her face is hidden in the darkness: "I won't kill you."

Hearing this, Zhu Hongyuan burst into laughter instead: "Hahahaha... Gu Jue, are you unwilling to kill me, or are you afraid to kill me? Zhu Hongyuan will only be a loyal minister in this life, and will never be a traitor!"

"Rebellious officials and thieves?" Gu Mingzhu smiled slightly when she heard this word, she got up slowly, and approached him: "Tell me, what is a rebellious official and a thief? What is loyalty?"

"Is it to swear allegiance to the death for the incompetent? Or is it knowing that the country has collapsed, but still looking at it in vain? This is not loyalty, you are called helping the tyrant. And I, overthrowing this completely unrecognizable family, I am a traitor and a traitor? But in this world, the surname is not Li! The surname is Bai! The Bai of a hundred families!"

Gu Mingzhu said: "I really pity you."

Zhu Hongyuan snorted coldly: "Have pity on me?"

"I pity you for your self-righteous loyalty, naively thinking that this is a peaceful and prosperous world. If it was a peaceful and prosperous world, how could Han Shuo rise up? If the world is really peaceful, Zheng Menglin can have an army of [-] in just a few months?" Gu Mingzhu stared at him with an indifferent expression, and her eyes were full of disdain and ridicule: "You are so pitiful, I sympathize with you."

Zhu Hongyuan stared at her with red eyes, as if he was about to tear the person in front of him to pieces in the next second.

But she just stood there, no one could move her, the iron chain locked him.

Gu Mingzhu's tone was light: "You are so majestic when you fight against the enemy bravely! I admire you and respect you as a man. Apart from that, you have nothing else to impress me. You are famous? In my opinion, it's just a big deal. It’s just trash that doesn’t understand the situation!”

Zhu Hongyuan glared at her viciously: "You are just absolving yourself of the crime!"

Gu Mingzhu sneered: "Okay, I'm a traitor, but so what? Have you seen those people outside? Do you know how much the household tax has increased this year? Where did the money go? It was all used for construction Changyin Palace. This good emperor, when droughts and floods occurred everywhere in the Li Kingdom, he ordered the construction of palaces for caring for pleasure. What kind of emperor is he? Go out and see! Are the [-] troops all rebellious officials and thieves?"

The iron chain was jangled: "Gu Jue! If you dare, kill me! Kill me!"

Swish!
Gu Mingzhu drew a long knife from the side, and said: "Zhu Hongyuan, I respect you for being a man, I will send you on the road today, on the road to Huangquan, you go and serve that dog emperor!"

Zhu Hongyuan closed his eyes sadly.

He waited for a long time, but there was no movement. He opened his eyes, and saw that the knife in Gu Jue's hand was being held by someone, and his hand cut bright red blood along the blade, dripping onto the ground.

Gu Xiurong turned pale and said, "Sister, don't kill him."

Zhu Hongyuan was puzzled and looked at the man's back: "There is no need for you to plead for me!"

Gu Xiurong turned around slowly.

Zhu Hongyuan saw his face clearly, his face was startled, and he murmured: "...Xiu Rong?"

He seemed to understand something, his expression changed from shock to anger to disappointment, and he suddenly burst out laughing, the laughter was extremely stern: "Ahahahaha, ah! What a retribution! God! What did I, Zhu Hongyuan, do wrong! You want to To tease me like this, if I knew today, I might as well have chopped him to death with a single knife, and now let him kill me! God the dog!"

Gu Xiurong's face turned pale: "Teacher..."

Zhu Hongyuan was in a frenzy: "I'm not your teacher! Gu Xiurong! You have entered the official career, but you did such a thing that violates morals! The relationship between you and me is cut off! I don't think I am, but I didn't expect to teach a teacher. Anti-thief! Gu thief! Disgusting!"

Gu Mingzhu shouted: "Put people down!"

Xu Jue broke off his hand holding the blade, worried: "Xiu Rong?"

Gu Xiurong looked up in a daze, looked up at him, forced a smile, and said, "Ah Jue, I'm afraid you don't know, he...he was my teacher, taught me the art of war, taught me the art of archery, for five years!"

Xu Jue and Gu Mingzhu were surprised at the same time.

Gu Xiurong sat paralyzed at the side: "I have never mentioned this matter to anyone. When I was 14 years old, I had an accident on a trip and was stunned. Fortunately, I was rescued by my teacher. Later, by chance, I performed the ceremony of apprenticeship, honored as Teacher, the teacher is very fond of me. Seeing that I am very interested in marching and fighting, he taught me everything. Later, when I joined the army, he even put aside his usual pedantic prejudices, pulled down his old face, and wrote a letter of recommendation for me. , I was able to enter the army smoothly and avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles. But after I entered Jiangling as an official, the teacher never sent me a letter, and the letters I wrote all fell into the sea."

Gu Mingzhu raised his injured hand and remained silent.

Gu Xiurong squeezed out a smile, but it was uglier than crying: "I'm sorry, sister, brother didn't mean to do this, it's just... brother, please, don't kill him."

"I'm sorry, I'm really confused today, my mind is a little messed up..."

He repeated his apology, somewhat bewildered.

Why did my younger sister who was always making trouble and acting like a spoiled child suddenly become the leader of the rebel army?

Why did the teacher fall into this situation?

Their teachers and students met again for many years, why did they look like this?

Gu Mingzhu sighed and said, "Brother."

Gu Xiurong focused on her blankly.

Gu Mingzhu said: "I promise you, I won't kill him."

"it is good."

"Although your injury is not serious, bleeding like this is not an option. You should bandage it first."

Gu Xiurong held his wound, and the three of them left the prison in the Duwei Mansion.

it's getting dark.

Gu Mingzhu didn't alarm the doctor, she had learned medical skills, after dressing up Gu Xiurong, she ordered someone to pass on the dinner.

A meal was eaten in silence.

Gu Xiurong's heart was confused, he ate a few mouthfuls of food and said he was full, and went back to his room to rest.

　Just write casually, it is impossible for this book to have only emotional drama.
