Ma'am help, the general is in trouble again

Chapter 93 Showdown
No way?
Come again?

To Zheng Quchi, this piece of paper, which he didn't know where to type, was like a hot potato, and she wished she could throw it away immediately.

In fact, she did.

She folded her hands together, and under the cover of soft sleeves, she tore them into shreds, and then threw them bit by bit on the dark street.

Even if someone picked up some of the twigs that were not blown away by the wind tomorrow morning, it would be impossible to put together a complete sentence.

"Why didn't you leave?" Yu Wensheng turned to her and asked her.

After going downstairs, he put on a gilt mask for himself, covering the upper half of his face.

After throwing away Zheng Quchi, he pushed the wheelchair back to him: "No, I'm just a little tired and want to rest..."

He pressed her hand: "Tired? Then don't push it. "

"Just take a break, it's rare that the two of us come out to play tonight, I want to see more." She said with a smile.

"Look, there seems to be a bonfire dance ahead." Zheng Quchi didn't want him to continue to pursue this matter, so he deliberately changed the topic: "What kind of dance is this, why are they wearing animal skins and no shoes, and they are still around the campfire, Go round and round with a torch?"

Yu Wensheng raised his eyes, stared at it for a moment, and said: "This is Yilong Dance. Since the most primitive period, people have had an inexplicable awe of the fire. They danced around the bonfire. First, they remembered the grace of the ancestors who discovered the fire. Secondly, it is also a compliment to the flame."

Zheng Quchi nodded suddenly, but then asked: "In the middle of the bonfire, there is a woman raising her hand to the sky, why?"

"Sacrifice."

"Sacrifice? Why do you still have to sacrifice?"

"Where there is fire, there will naturally be water that restrains it. However, since ancient times, water disasters have caused people to suffer, floods and droughts, and people have suffered. Therefore, some people proposed to sacrifice one person to heaven in the midst of a strong fire, in order to pray for God to protect the people. "

When Zheng Quchi heard this, he immediately lost interest in the dance.

"Sacrificing human life can be blessed by God? Then why does it have to be a woman?"

"It's just a group of ignorant people consoling themselves. As for why it is a woman, it is because in the patriarchal world, women are always just appendages. One less woman, one less wife, one less sister can be exchanged for more People’s lives are stable, and no one thinks it’s not worth it.”

Zheng Quchi didn't show much anger when she heard this, she just asked, "What about you, you think the same way?"

Yu Wensheng thought about it for a while, but didn't deny it: "If you are asking for the greatest benefit at the least cost, and to achieve a certain goal with sacrifice, I think anyone would do the same."

Zheng Quchi went around in front of him, squatted down, and raised his face: "Then if this person needs to be sacrificed, is it me?"

Yu Wencheng lowered his eyes and frowned slightly: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

With him around, no one would dare to sacrifice her to heaven.

"Feng Mian, if you include me among the women who are vassals of men, do you think it is worthwhile to exchange one's life for some kind of benefit?"

Seeing that she insisted on comparing herself with others, Yu Wencheng was faintly annoyed: "Zheng Quchi, it can't be you."

She chuckled and said slowly: "What's so special about me, why can't it be me? If you despise women like other people, then I will also not be respected by others."

Hearing her words, Yu Wensheng suddenly remembered that Fu Rong had said not long ago that how his subordinates would treat Zheng Quchi all depended on his attitude.

And now Zheng Quchi also feels that the way he treats women in the world, he will treat her with the same attitude.

But in fact, Yu Wensheng is very fair.

What he said just now, no matter men or women, but all people have the same weight with him.

The only difference is that she is his wife.

He suddenly seemed to understand what she meant by her self-deprecating words just now.

Everyone has a special part in their eyes, but others can't see it, so what Zheng Quchi wants is not his own approval, but that women in this world will no longer be sacrificed and underestimated at will.

Seeing that he was silent, Zheng Quchi stood up, pretending to be relaxed, and said, "Okay, I just sighed casually, this dance seems to be nothing interesting, let's go somewhere else."

The two continued to wander around, and Zheng Quchi saw the old man playing sparrows, which was a long-lost skill, which made her wide-eyed, laughing and clapping with others, and also saw the young men and women juggling, they were holding bowls, Toes over the rope...

Stopping and stopping along the way, she would exchange her feelings with Liu Fengmian from time to time, and would also ask him about things she didn't understand.

Although Liu Fengmian was not interested in these things, but affected by her high emotions, he kept smiling, forgot about other things, and kept talking to her all the way.

At this time, another stranger sneaked a ball of paper to her by taking advantage of people coming and going.

Zheng Quchi froze.

She took a deep breath.

But this time, she didn't act rashly and threw it away.

"Feng Mian, wait here for me, I just ate a bunch of oily fruits, and I seem to have a stomachache, I'll go back as soon as I go." She made an excuse.

There are public toilets in the county, mainly to prevent the people from loosening indiscriminately and causing plague mosquitoes.

Yu Wensheng had no choice but to say, "Don't just eat the omnivores on the street. If you feel uncomfortable, go there quickly."

She pushed him under the eaves, where the flow of people coming and going was not "turbulent" and would not bump into him, so she ran away and unwrapped the ball of paper that someone insisted on showing her.

Under the long bridge, beside the willow embankment, see you there.

What?
The content on this paper does not seem to be a secret signal for a secret meeting, but rather a man and a woman, dating after dusk...

Zheng Quchi stared at it in surprise.

Could it be that this is the romantic debt that Sang Xuanqing incurred in the past?Anyway, since she traveled through time, she has never provoked a man who would write her the words "see you or leave".

But she thinks it's impossible, the person Sang Xuanqing clearly likes is Mo Ye, and she shouldn't have emotional entanglements with other men, so this should still be a secret signal, but she didn't understand it.

Now the question is, will she go or not?
Don't go, the other party's posture seems to be sending all kinds of people to secretly deliver letters to her like this, and he will not let her go.

Go, in case there is any trap in here...

Now she is clearly Zheng Quchi in women's clothing, not Sang Xuanqing in men's clothing, she can't figure out who would need to meet her in such a secret...

She glanced at the location where Liu Fengmian was not far away, if she refused to go, would she have annoyed the other party, and he would be caught in a deadly trap?

Finally, Zheng Quchi worked up his courage and came to the arch bridge.

In her opinion, the other party probably didn't want to murder her. As for other things, as long as she didn't die, she could always find a way to get out of the dangerous situation.

Sliding from the embankment to the edge of the river, the bridge above was covered in a gloomy darkness. She was looking around, and the next second she was pulled in by someone who had been waiting there early in the morning.

"Zheng Quchi, why did you come here now?"

A young male voice scolded angrily.

She raised her eyes in shock, but saw a man in black, he was tall, with a cold and murderous chill all over his body.

Zheng Quchi has seen a lot recently, and it seems that he can barely distinguish the breath of others.

This kind of him... is like an assassin, because of killing too many lives, his eyes are fierce, and there will be a long-lasting evil spirit lingering around him.

People like Yu Wensheng or Qiu.

"You are……"

The man lowered his face, in the darkness at the bottom of the bridge, there was some faint reflection of the water, he mocked: "Are you stupid? It's only been a few years, and you have forgotten who I am?"

Sure enough, he is an acquaintance of Sang Xuanqing...

"...Baby?"

Zheng Quchi suddenly remembered the name when his eyes touched the very special crossbow on his back.

This is all because Qiu once mentioned inadvertently that Sang Xuanqing and Ya's crossbow skills are tied for first among the younger generation of the Mo family.

"If you have a conscience, you still remember my old friend who has been forgotten for many years." He stretched out his knuckles and tapped her on the head.

Zheng Quchi covered his head, but he was greatly relieved.

It seems that this girl has a good relationship with Sang Xuanqing, and she also knows that she is a woman...

"How did you come?"

Even though he asked like this, Zheng Quchi was not stupid. Once he knew that he was from the Mo family, he more or less guessed the reason why he came to find her.

"Ruler, tell me, what exactly happened, why was Qiu caught by Yu Wencheng?" He grabbed her shoulders, not allowing her to back down.

Aren't there so many other people?Does he only care about Qiu?

"I don't know. I wasn't there at the time. They didn't trust me, so naturally they wouldn't arrange for me to do some important things. I'm just responsible for their aftermath and acting as a scapegoat." Zheng Quchi said calmly with downcast eyes.

Hearing this, Ya frowned tightly, opened her mouth, and swallowed back what she wanted to say.

He let go of her, and his tone softened a lot: "Forget it, if you don't know me, just pretend you don't know, but you have to help me rescue Qiu."

Fuck, she knew she couldn't escape her fate of being a sophomore!
But she didn't refuse in a hurry, but asked tentatively: "Only save him? What about the others?"

Hearing her question, I immediately looked at her with helpless and speechless eyes: "I heard that you have grown up with Yu Wensheng, don't you know that you can save a person from that living Yan Luo Yu Wensheng?" , is already a catastrophe, others... the Mohists say it can be discarded."

Of course Zheng Quchi knew how terrifying Yu Wensheng was, but she was puzzled as to why the Mo family was so obsessed with rescuing Qiu when they could give up others.

"Who is Qiu?"

Ya avoided her eyes: "I don't know too well."

No, he must know, he just didn't want to tell her.

Zheng Quchi turned cold, "Then I can't help you."

But Ya said with deep meaning: "Of course you can, do you think I'm looking for you rashly? During this period of time, I have often heard the name Sang Xuanqing mentioned by key people."

Zheng Quchi pushed him away angrily: "So, are you trying to kill me? I managed to get rid of the suspicion with Yu Wensheng. Now you just want me to change Qiu's life, right?"

Ya's expression froze, and then she held her with fixed eyes: "Of course not, I just need you to provide an opportunity, and then I will do it, and you don't have to do anything after that."

opportunity?

Since it is an opportunity, it is naturally a secret that few people can find out. If she knows it, then tells him, and helps him save the person, what about her?

Is Yu Wensheng that stupid?Can't find out that she is a suspicious person?
Zheng Quchi couldn't help feeling resentful and said, "Baby, do you know...how did I get to where I am today? I was threatened by the Mohists for a while, and coerced by Yu Wensheng for a while, but I never really trusted either side." I, I can be abandoned by them at any time, sacrificed by them at will, what do you think I want? Is it because I have lived for too long, do I have to go to death? "

Hearing what she said, Ya hugged her distressedly.

Zheng Quchi wanted to struggle to get away, but Yaya spoke to her solemnly.

"...I'm sorry, this is the last time, just help me this last time. From then on, I will not come to look for you again. After I save Qiu, I will go with him to ask for a favor from the leader of the Mohist family, so that you can completely leave the Mohist family. , to live the free life you dreamed of."

Zheng Quchi was shocked when he heard this.

She didn't dare to believe it: "You, you can really do it?"

Ya held her small face, bent her narrow waist, and said seriously: "Yes, Qiu is more important to the Mo family than you imagined. If you save him, you will definitely be able to achieve your wish."

As if convinced by the determination in his eyes and words, Zheng Quchi hesitated for a moment, and when he raised his eyes, his expression resolutely made a decision: "Okay, just this time, the last time."

-

Returning to Liu Fengmian's side again, Zheng Quchi's emotions can be seen with the naked eye.

"What's wrong with you? Still not feeling well?"

Liu Fengmian turned his head to ask her.

Zheng Quchi came back to his senses, remembering the excuse to go away just now, now he can only lie and say: "No, it's much better, but it's too late and I'm a little sleepy."

"Then let's go back." Liu Fengmian had no doubt about him.

Zheng Quchi was a little worried: "Shall we walk back like this?"

Liu Fengmian smiled, clapped his hands, and a carriage with black cover and lacquered red accessories was driven by a tall man wearing a bamboo hat.

He could easily arrange all this, while Zheng Quchi just watched silently.

She carried Liu Fengmian into the carriage, and after the carriage moved, Zheng Quchi said, "Fengmian, it seems that we haven't talked about each other's affairs since we got married. I thought you were just a person, without any background, or Said, you will marry me only because you need to find a place to protect temporarily, so you chose me among the many women who choose relatives."

She sighed a little disappointed: "But I just realized now that I was wrong, you seem to be lacking in everything."

Yu Wencheng raised his black sleeves like flowing clouds to his side, and a faint fragrance spread out, like mist, he raised his eyes to look at her: "What do you want to ask?"

He deliberately made this arrangement, not only to satisfy her, but also to tell her his true identity in a showdown tonight.

Zheng Quchi was already mentally prepared, and she asked directly, "Liu Fengmian, who are you?"

Yu Wensheng seemed to have been waiting for this moment all along, his eyes flicked along Zheng Quchi's eyebrows and face: "Before answering this question, can I ask you a question first?"

"Of course." She immediately sat up straight.

"Have you ever heard of the name Yu Wensheng?" After he finished asking, his meticulous eyes never let go of any emotional change on her face.
