After lunch, everyone returned to their rooms to rest for a while.
It was a coincidence that they arrived at the right time, otherwise the Wuliang Cliff area would often be blocked by heavy snow.
The snowstorm lasted for more than ten days, and it took another ten days to clear the road after it melted.
…
Ji Zhe went straight to the shopkeeper. He sat at the upper seat, and the waiters who had just been wandering around the lobby knelt below, waiting for their master's words.
"I said I want you to entertain them well, not to run away! Aren't you a little too enthusiastic?"
Ji Zhe held his forehead helplessly. He had indeed arranged for people to come and take over the inn in advance.
The purpose is to entertain the princess and her group, but just now I saw that they were wary.
He had reason to believe that as long as there was a second inn nearby, they would choose the other one without hesitation!
However, when Ji Zhe spoke, his expression did not carry the harshness of a superior.
Because he said this mainly to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper was the person who had been with Ji Zhe the longest.
He is also the only one who is related to his mother's clan.
When the Emperor of Beimo ordered the execution of his grandfather's family, he showed no mercy.
Even the guards and servants who grew up around him were not spared.
Only the shopkeeper in front of me, Uncle Ye,
He was a guard from his maternal grandfather's family who was originally loyal to Ji Zhe's mother. Later, in order to protect his mother, he was willing to enter the palace as a eunuch.
In the early years, he had been lurking in the dark, helping his mother.
It was not until his mother died and his maternal grandfather's family was wiped out that he revealed his identity to Ji Zhe. From then on, he swore allegiance to Ji Zhe until his death.
Ye Bo is special to Ji Zhe.
So even though he was very skilled, Ji Zhe never let him get involved in the affairs of Fuxing Tower.
Because he was the only one with whom I could occasionally talk about my mother...
"Young Master, isn't it rare that you said you have friends to entertain? We didn't mean it. Please be more restrained tomorrow, be more restrained!"
Ye Bo stood respectfully below, never doing anything beyond the rules.
However, his tone still treated Ji Zhe as a young master, and he would unconsciously use a coaxing tone.
Over the years, he has gotten used to it, and Ji Zhe has never refused, so it has always been like this.
Ji Zhe looked at Ye Bo, who was full of guilt, and suddenly felt that the matter was not that serious. He waved his hand again and said softly,
"Forget it, even if they guessed it, it doesn't matter."
"However, don't call me Young Master here, especially in front of that tall and strong man, and don't mention my identity."
Ji Zhe thought that with Xiao Moqing's trap and Bai Shu's intelligence,
I'm afraid he had already guessed his identity as the Seventh Prince, but just didn't reveal it.
This identity is not unusual. As long as neither of them breaks this window paper, the trip during this period will be quite pleasant.
As for his other identities, no one can know them until the grand plan is completed...
"I will make them keep their mouths shut!"
"But Young Master, can't you really let go of that thing in your heart?"
"The lady once said that she had not been able to live a comfortable and stable life. If given the chance, she hopes that you can be a free person and not be troubled by hatred."
Ye Bo thought of Ji Zhe's identity and sighed softly.
His previous mission was to protect the young lady, but she was eventually trapped and died in that gorgeous cage, with her soul unable to enter or leave.
Now that the young master has escaped, why should he go back to that dead city?
The emperor was already in his twilight years. Even if Ji Zhe did not take action, he would not live long.
So he really doesn't want his master to put himself in danger again for revenge!
"Uncle Ye, I understand."
Ji Zhe stopped Ye Bo, with a complex emotion in his eyes.
Who would choose to struggle in hell if they could grow up freely?
The Fosun Building he founded had the ability to take the emperor's life in one fell swoop.
The reason why he hadn't taken action yet was because of Ye Bo's persuasion. On the one hand, he wanted to help his grandparents to avenge their crimes, and on the other hand, he wanted to fulfill his mother's last wish.
These two contradictory views were in endless competition in his mind.
He changed various identities and wandered around in order to forget his own identity for a while.
He wanted to know what life was like that his mother was talking about.
Perhaps this month has finally brought him true freedom...
"Young Master, among the friends you brought this time, I see that there seems to be a very nice girl."
"Not only did you help her dress herself, but you also chatted and laughed with her. Isn't that great?"
Ye Bo suddenly mentioned the eldest princess, and his face was full of smiles again.
He had never seen the young master care so much about someone, and the young master was very happy with her.
He could still see that when a man always wanted to make a girl happy,
He must have her in his heart!
But the young master calls her sister. I wonder if it is because of their age or if it is their exclusive name?
“…”
The last time Ji Zhe was so speechless was last time!
"Uncle Ye, that's a cloak, please don't talk nonsense!"
Ji Zhe had no choice but to refute that the meaning of wearing a cloak and wearing clothes is completely different.
This statement is too ambiguous and also damages the girl's reputation. It cannot be said.
The guards disguised as waiters below all lowered their heads and dared not speak.
I was afraid that I would accidentally laugh out loud and be discovered by my master.
"Yes, yes, it was a slip of the tongue. But what I meant was that you and that girl seemed to be doing well together. Why waste your bright future on someone who is half buried in the ground?"
Ye Bo didn't know the identity of the eldest princess, but he saw that they were not ordinary people.
The most important thing is that the young master likes it and is happy. How wonderful would such a life be?
He didn't want the young master to waste his energy on killing the emperor who might die at any moment.
The fight for the throne is extremely fierce now. Isn't it the best strategy to let them kill each other and let him die at the hands of his own son?
After hearing what Ye Bo said, Ji Zhe fell into deep thought.
He is an extremely conflicted person, but at the same time he is someone who longs to be loved.
He had no interest in the inhumane throne; he just couldn't bear to see his mother and maternal grandfather's family die in the power struggle.
"I understand, Uncle Ye, you guys can go down."
"She's been behaving more naturally these past few days. She's very simple and kind."
Ji Zhe waved his hand and asked everyone to leave.
Ye Bo looked at Ji Zhe deeply and followed him out. There were some things that he had to figure out on his own.
…
Looking at Ye Bo's increasingly old figure, Ji Zhe never knew that if he completed his revenge goal,
Then what is the meaning of life?
He searched for it but to no avail, until that day in the woods of Luan County,
He suddenly saw the woman walking towards the light, and it seemed that the pain in his body was gone.
He understood now. Perhaps if he could escape unscathed after his revenge, he could also have a small family of his own?
