Ma'am help, the general is in trouble again

Chapter 195 War Situation

Zheng Quchi stubbornly and unrelentingly looked at Gongshu.

Even if Yu Wensheng is the general of the Ye Kingdom, but even if Gongshu is from Beiyuan, there is no need to fight him in the Julu border. Besides, this is the "Jichun Craftsmanship Guild" he organized, and he should just want everything to go smoothly. , I don't want to cause extra problems...

But listening to what he said now, did he do something to Yu Wensheng and the others?

Or, did he already know that Yu Wensheng went to Qianshu Palace to steal that blueprint?

She quickly opened her eyes, stared at an air and pondered for a moment, and said, "I'm not waiting for anyone."

Gongshu Jiruo looked far away, and the shining lamp was shining brightly in the black sky, which was more dazzling than the stars. After a short pause, he said in a forbearing and restrained tone.

"Ah Qing, Yu Wencheng has abandoned you, whether you are waiting for him or not, you are the only one left."

Hearing what he said, Zheng Quchi first reflected for a while on what he meant. Although he used the word "abandoned" in an ugly way, she seemed to understand what happened.

She organized her words and said slowly: "I know what I'm doing, what I'm going to do, and how I should go home. It doesn't matter whether I have a companion or not, it doesn't matter. The road I want to go is a matter of public defeat, I am not the kind of person who will just stay where I am and just wait for others to reach out, you underestimate me too much."

It is her personal wish to join the "Jichun Craftsman's Guild", 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 life.

If Gongshu didn't expect her to react like this.

Ordinary people would definitely be angry and flustered when they heard their companions abandoning them and leaving, even if they were not dejected, but she always believed in one thing.

She believes in herself.

She never clings her vines to other people's bodies, she sticks them deep into the earth to absorb nutrients and grow herself up, no matter how big the wind and rain, no matter how big the wind and rain are, no matter how big the mountains are, the ground will be cracked, and the peaks will collapse. Her own firmness.

"Ah Qing, I finally realized one thing."

Why must she?
Aside from saving him, what was it about her that made him spend so much time thinking about it? Later, an inch of lovesickness turned into a thousand years of love?
What he never admired was Gong Shulan's kind of person who is desperate for love, obliterates his own temperament and brilliance, and will only fall into the swamp of bitterness from which he cannot extricate himself.

But he doesn't know which type of woman he will be obsessed with in the future, maybe he will never meet that kind of soulmate in his life.

But his luck is that he didn't deliberately look for her, but a disaster accident, a life-threatening calamity, made him meet her.

What is he talking about?

"Yu Wensheng and the others have already left you behind and led his troops to leave Yongfeng Mountain. He also stole a letter that is very important to the Julu Kingdom. In order to make this piece of information the key to a comeback from the Jedi, I believe him I will spare no effort to break through the siege and return to China as soon as possible, for this..."

He looked at Zheng Quchi, and said quietly: "He didn't hesitate to use you as bait to confuse everyone's attention. He put you in the light and diverted attention. In a situation that none of us expected, he did not hesitate Hesitantly lead everyone away."

Zheng Quchi's brain circuits are sometimes very abnormal. Before getting emotional, he first looks at things from a rational perspective.

At the beginning, Weiyao told her to stay in the Palace of Thousand Trees, attract everyone's attention, and win a chance for Yu Wensheng... Could it be that it also included the cover for all of them to evacuate safely later?
Then she, the lurker, has completed her task quite satisfactorily.

She lowered her eyes and said calmly: "Why does such an important letter from the Julu Kingdom appear in Wujue Temple, which is free from worldly disputes?"

If Gongshu saw that she was always using Yu Wencheng to use her up, and then left her to leave without saying a word, did she not care, or did she care so much that she forcibly closed her heart and numb it?
He couldn't understand it, but seeing that she hit the nail on the head and asked the core of the matter, he didn't hide it from her.

"Because Wujue Temple is not a simple temple. Most people in Julu Kingdom don't believe in Buddhism. This Buddhist temple was built only to attract people from other countries. Its existence is also a kind of espionage agency that communicates information."

"...What are you doing so frankly all of a sudden?" She was startled.

This matter is very confidential, although Yu Wensheng knows it, he knows it, but ordinary people like her probably won't reveal it, and they will never be able to guess how deep the water really is.

Also, why is he so clear about the secret espionage war in the world?It was hard for her not to suspect that he might have had a hand in it too.

Gongshu Jiruo looked at her deeply, and said in a low voice, "Because I have to confess something to you."

Zheng Quchi clenched his fist, and asked again: "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, so I'll call you Ah Qing in the future."

Now it's meaningless to ask him when he found out. Seeing that they have revealed their identities, she might as well just talk about it.

"Do you think the thing you want to confess is the same thing as the thing I've been wanting to ask you?" She stared at him intently.

Gongshu Jiruo's eyes darkened slightly, and when his slender eyelashes fell down, his snow-white face showed a sense of loneliness and silence: "I knew about Gongshulan's plot to frame you in Fu County back then."

Zheng Quchi's pupils froze.

"Her parents saved me during the civil strife in Gongshu's family. Although it was not because of me that both of them died, I still owe their family a kindness, so Gongshulan, who is a branch, has always been raised by the main family."

"Before she was taken back to the Lord's home, her parents entrusted her friends to take her to the King's Palace of Ye to avoid disaster for a period of time. After the civil strife of the Lord was over, she was taken back and faced the death of her parents. Such a major change, coupled with the fact that she has to move far away to an unfamiliar and strict master's house, see her again soon, her personality has changed drastically."

Zheng Quchi frowned, who hasn't had a miserable past, just like their Zheng family, that family was ruined, why didn't they see their brothers and sisters with abnormal personalities, 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 grievances with her. Why did she do this?"

Gongshu Jiruo said: "If you continue to listen, you will understand the cause and effect of everything."

Ok.

Zheng Quchi restrained himself and signaled him to continue.

"She had no parental upbringing when she was a child, and I was busy with affairs, and there were indeed things that I couldn't take care of. 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 the woodwork, mechanisms and equipment of the public loser, just to be able to help him one day."

"In her heart, there is no me, no public loser, only that person. When she finally has the ability to get rid of the public loser, she sneaked onto a cargo ship while I was away, intending to smuggle to the country of Ye. But she never thought about it, but was discovered by the other party and imprisoned in the cabin. At that time, she probably never thought that she would ruin the rest of her life after she left."

"The shadow you're talking about... is Yu Wencheng?" She was thoughtful.

"It's him. In order to be able to stay by his side forever, Gong Shulan wanted to get rid of all those who threatened her. When she found out that Yu Wensheng was married, she would naturally be jealous. She wanted to get rid of him, but She was worried that Yu Wencheng would hate her if she found out, so she planned to frame you in a devious way, if the elder brother you played became a sinner who betrayed Yu Wencheng, then the crime of murder would be committed."

After hearing these previous stories, she finally understood what she had been through.

Seeing that Zheng Quchi was stunned and silent, Gongshu continued: "Your identity was changeable at the time, and 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 think that Yu Wensheng married Zheng Quchi, and Zheng Quchi and Sang Xuanqing are the same person, although if he is more considerate, ask Gongshulan more, or investigate carefully in private, It will be clear...but he is too conceited to care.

But just such a negligence 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 tiresome kindness bondage, I committed the crime of neglecting selfishness. This is my fault, and I am willing to pay the price with you Punishment, I feel ashamed, especially for you..."

He apologized so sincerely, without quibbling, concealing, or prevarication, but Zheng Quchi felt that there was suffering, anger, and resentment.

She lowered her eyes and said: "If I was really killed by the barbarians, what would you do?"

Even if Gongshu was silent for a while, he didn't say anything against his will, and he didn't say exaggerated apology with death.

He said: "I will take care of your funeral, and spend my whole life protecting your brothers and sisters in safety and worry-free. I will not marry in this life, be alone, widowed, and have no children and grandchildren. After completing my mission as a loser and patriarch... After taking responsibility, I will kneel in front of your grave and go down to make amends with you."

Zheng Quchi listened to his plan for the rest of his life in one breath, as if he had written a draft early in the morning, without thinking, he was really stunned for a while.

Not marrying in this life, being alone and widowed, cutting off children and grandchildren... He even dared to say such words, but if she really died, even if he made himself an eunuch, it would not help the matter at all.

If the culprit, Gong Shulan, had already been killed by her, even though he was an accomplice, he was extremely hateful... However, she took out the "thank you gift" he gave her earlier, a small dark brown and almost black sign.

She suddenly asked: "Do you know Mu Zaiqi?"

"Mu Zaiqi..." If Gongshu saw her take out the token, he would know that she must always carry it with him, and he nodded: "Yes, he has written to me about what happened to you before."

So, he already knew what happened to her before.

"He helped me because you gave me this thing. You only asked someone to give it to me, but you didn't explain it in a few words. Now, can you tell me what it is?"

Zheng Quchi tore off the small piece of strange material from his neck, and waved it in front of him.

Gongshu Jiruo said: "This is a black order. As a personal accessory of the owner of the Gongshu family, it is also a symbol of me. If you hold it, no matter whether you are a direct disciple of the Gongshu family or a collateral disciple of the Gongshu family, everyone will be able to see it." Obedience."

Zheng Quchi was surprised: "You, why did you give this to me? At the beginning, we didn't know each other at all. Although I saved your life, you didn't know my character, so..." Such a big investment?
What if she is a villain, who returns favors, or a lion speaks loudly?

Gongshu Jiruo took a step forward in vain, and his snow-like eyes traced her outline, secretly rushing in: "You never know how much you touched me at that time, and now I am very grateful for the moment at that time." Impulse, and then you get help because of it, instead of being alone in the enemy camp."

Zheng Quchi took a step back, and she handed the Heiqiling to him: "I'll give it back to you, I've used it once, although you hurt me, but you helped me invisibly, now I just want to know, How do you public losers plan to deal with the fact that I killed Gong Shulan?"

If Gongshu heard the words, his expression paused: "Don't worry, no one will know that you killed Gongshulan. She had the intention of harming others first, and it is not wrong to die at your hands. You are in charge."

Zheng Quchi was confused: "How come no one knows? What does it mean that I don't need to be responsible? Could it be that the public loser died of the daughter of a direct family, so he didn't investigate or ask?"

Back then, there were so many people who saw it... By the way, those people were all from Yu Wencheng, and there were some remnants of Mo Ye's army. If Yu Wencheng silenced all those who knew, and ordered all his subordinates to keep this secret ...

But people who are public losers are not stupid, don't they 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 whitewash all the evidence for her, or did he shoulder all the blame and pressure for her, so she didn't have to bear the responsibility?
Even if Gongshu probably understands what she means, but he has done this matter, but what he did is not to bear it all. Nor can he escape from restraint.

For Gongshulan's death, the public loser must have an explanation. It is related to the majesty and shock of the public loser, so he will give them an explanation to calm the turmoil.

"Now you just need to know that the public loser and you will not have a hostile relationship. It is useless to investigate the rest. Then, what are your plans next?"

After he gave his conclusion, he immediately changed the subject.

Having solved a serious problem at once, Zheng Quchi let out a long breath.

He asked her what her plans were next. She had already done 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 Kingdom is about to fall into a situation of continuous war, no matter where you go in the Seven Kingdoms, you will be safer than staying in Ye Kingdom."
