pastoral wife

Chapter 114 Give up everything

This time, even Jiang Chu couldn't see through him.

"Do you still remember that I told you that the current emperor and the late emperor have different surnames. Because the late emperor was violent, the common people lived in dire straits, and there were rebels everywhere, but it was the current emperor who finally kicked the late emperor out of power."

Jiang Chu was slightly taken aback, as if he had vaguely guessed something, but he couldn't believe it.

"You mean..."

"That rebellion is what I will do in the next ten years." Ji Yao said calmly.

Jiang Chu's eyes widened: "Then why do people in the village say you have become a bandit?"

"It's just copying what people say, and I don't care about these things. After all, what is the difference between rebellion and being a bandit? If the rebellion succeeds, you will be crowned king and minister. If the rebellion fails, then you are just a bunch of bandits."

"But since you assisted the current emperor to ascend the throne, how could it be..." Jiang Chu felt full of doubts.

She never believed that Ji Yao was a real bandit before, but she never thought that he would have such a glorious past.

If there really was such a glorious past, and now that the new emperor is on the throne, these people who assist the enthronement should naturally be enshrined as kings and ministers, but why is Dudu Ji Yao still so reckless?
Ji Yao pursed his lips, remained silent for a while, and then said, "Later, something happened."

Just as Jiang Chu was about to ask what was the matter, he saw a small stone being thrown into the house with a whoosh.

Ji Yao jumped up and caught the stone with one hand.

Taking a closer look, the eyes became a little dignified.

Jiang Chu leaned over to take a look, and there was a small totem carved on the stone, which looked a little weird.

"Come out." Ji Yao said lightly.

Immediately, a light figure entered through the window, dressed in black night clothes, as if it would not attract the slightest attention in the night.

Just from this person's ultra-light footsteps, Jiang Chu can tell that this person has a lot of skill. Looking at his burly figure and his dark face stained with dust, he can tell that he is a person who has been on the go all year round.

As soon as this person came in, he folded his fists and knelt down: "Subordinate Luo Fanyi greets the general!"

Jiang Chu was taken aback for a moment, General? !
Since he was a general in the past and the new emperor ascended the throne, he is also qualified to be a prince and king!
Jiang Chu couldn't believe that her husband-in-law, such an unknown man who stayed in this small village, once had such glory, but why is he in the current situation?Jiang Chu forcibly suppressed his doubts and did not interrupt.

Ji Yao said softly: "Now I am reckless, not worthy of your worship."

Luo Fanyi said forcefully, "No matter when, the general deserves to be worshiped by his subordinates!"

"Forget it, get up and talk." Ji Yao didn't want to entangle this issue with him too much.

"Yes." Luo Fanyi got up now, but when facing Ji Yao, he was still respectful.

"Why did you come here?" Ji Yao asked.

Luo Fanyi said: "This subordinate is going to do some errands around Zizhou Prefecture."

After speaking, he paused, and glanced at Jiang Chu, as if he still had some scruples about her existence.

Ji Yao said softly, "This is my wife, Jiang Chu."

It's not the Jiang family, it's Jiang Chu.Ji Yao has always given Jiang Chu the greatest respect, because he also knows that this woman is worthy of having her own name.

Luo Fanyi seemed to have heard a shocking anecdote, his jaw almost couldn't close.

wife? !Such a man who is as cold as ice and treats women as nothing actually has a woman!Or wife? !

It took less than half a year, so the change is too fast!
Jiang Chu grinned with a mouthful of small white teeth, and raised his little hands to say hello awkwardly but politely: "Hello."

Because she really doesn't know what to say...

Luo Fanyi was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head and cupped his fists: "I've seen Madam!"

Ji Yao turned his head and gave her a light look, who was she smiling at?
Jiang Chu blinked innocently, what's wrong?Why don't she say hello to someone?

Ji Yao looked at Luo Fanyi with a cold face: "Go away if you have nothing to do."

Luo Fanyi: "..."

It's just that your wife smiled at me, you don't have to be so stingy, right?
Jiang Chu greeted him with a smile: "Sit down and talk."

As he spoke, he poured him a cup of tea.

Luo Fanyi carefully glanced at Ji Yao's eyes, but seeing Ji Yao sat down silently, Luo Fanyi dared to sit down, but he dared not take a sip of tea.

"The mission you came this time is related to the matter of the Chunyang Gang?" Ji Yao said directly.

Luo Fanyi was a little surprised. Not only was Ji Yao able to see his purpose all at once, but he was also surprised that Ji Yao really didn't shy away from his wife at all. This woman must be very important to him.

Luo Fanyi nodded: "Yes."

Ji Yao was silent, and then said: "This matter is very involved. Now the power of the previous dynasty is also deeply rooted in the court. It is not so easy to eradicate it. You can handle it yourself."

Jiang Chu was a little dazed, but she sorted out all this secretly in her heart. She had a vague feeling that what Luo Fanyi did just now must have an inseparable relationship with the mastermind behind the entrapment of Ji Yao this time.

Jiang Chu still didn't understand what had happened, nor what was about to happen, but felt that the big net seemed to have tightly encircled them in the dark night, getting tighter and tighter.

Luo Fanyi suddenly stood up with a "chuckle", knelt down on the spot and kowtowed heavily: "Thank you General for your guidance! General's kindness, I will never forget it!"

When he looked up again, his eyes were already red.

But Ji Yao lifted his lips indifferently: "You don't have to worry about what happened back then, his purpose is that I am not with you, even if you are not used to threaten me, my current situation will not change."

Luo Fanyi immediately said: "No, the general is willing to make a retreat for the life of his subordinates, and this life of his subordinates already belongs to the general! There are mountains of swords and seas of fire, and the subordinates are obliged to do so!"

Ji Yao didn't say anything more, his slightly lowered eyes were full of indifference, as if everything in the past was nothing more than that to him.

"This subordinate will leave without disturbing the general's rest." Luo Fanyi then came out through the window.

Ji Yao looked at Jiang Chu: "Are you wondering why I returned to this small mountain village?"

If we say that before, she was of course curious, but now, listening to their conversation, she more or less guessed a lot. This reason must be a very sad thing, which made her reluctant to go further. Ask, not wanting to touch the scar deep in his heart.

But Ji Yao didn't wait for her to ask, and said with a light smile: "After deposing the late emperor, he ascended the throne now, but he fears that I am too powerful in the army and that I am more popular than him. Even the late emperor's palace, I was the one who broke in first, so I pressed you step by step, just wanting to take away the real power in my hands. Luo Fanyi was one of the victims. The banditry in Guluo Town was serious, so I was sent to lead the Xiaoqi Battalion to suppress the bandits. However, many ambushes were set up in Nagu Luo Town. It was not difficult for me to escape from death, but Luo Fanyi was my lieutenant general who followed me, and almost died in that ambush. I can't bear to watch them die."

Jiang Chu's eyes trembled slightly: "So, you gave up everything?"
