Chapter 353 To Pave the Way for You
Zhou Yunqi's breathing slowed down when he saw the soldier.
Is she crazy? Cao Zhengxing hasn't left yet! She dares to show up in front of him like this. Is she afraid that Cao Zhengxing won't find out?
"I understand. You can leave now." Zhou Yunqi tried his best to make his voice sound without any fluctuation.
"Your Highness asked you to go over now." Zhou Jianying leaned over and emphasized.
Zhou Yunqi took a deep breath and looked at Zhou Jianying, wanting to swear.
He wanted to leave now, but Zhou Yunshu was still behind the screen behind Cao Zhengxing.
What will happen to Zhou Yunshu if he leaves!
Cao Zhengxing looked at Zhou Yunqi, who was hesitantly standing up, and asked, "Isn't this the first time you two have met since you joined his team?"
Zhou Yunqi looked at Cao Zhengxing's shrewd and calculating appearance and said, "Yes, Sir Military Supervisor, why don't you go with us?"
If we have to go, let's go together.
Zhou Jianying lowered her head with a puzzled look in her eyes. What happened to Zhou Yunqi today?
If he drags this old eunuch along with him, how can they do anything?
Cao Zhengxing picked up his wine glass and said, "You go by yourself. I have guests to see."
Anyway, he has said everything he needs to say, and now he just has to wait for Zhou Yunqi's decision.
Zhou Yunqi had no choice but to say goodbye to Cao Zhengxing, then controlled his gaze from wanting to look towards the screen and followed Zhou Jianying out.
After leaving the sight of Cao Zhengxing and his men, Zhou Yunqi looked at Zhou Jianying standing beside him and asked in a low voice: "What on earth do you want to do!"
Although Zhou Jianying is their aunt, they are the same age and grew up playing and fighting together, so in their eyes, the seniority of Zhou Jianying is the same as nothing.
"Save the North."
"He's General Hu Ben, the leader of this rebellion. He's being held in the dark prison set up by the King of Wei. How can you expect me to save him?"
The two of them walked quickly in low voices and soon left the brothel.
When Zhou Jianying arrived, everything was fully prepared, and she put Zhou Yunqi on a carriage as soon as he left the brothel.
As soon as Zhou Yunqi sat down, Zhou Jianying lifted the curtain and sat in.
"Yun Qi, he surrendered to Ji Sheng for my sake. I can't just watch him die."
"The King of Wei hasn't sentenced him to death yet, why are you so anxious?"
"Do I have to watch him go to the guillotine before I get anxious?" Zhou Jianying's voice unconsciously became louder. "Can you rescue him? If you can't, I'll go find Ji Sheng!"
"Zhou Jianying, could you please stop making trouble?"
Zhou Jianying sat opposite Zhou Yunqi, her hand unconsciously touching her belly and said, "I'm not making trouble with you. The child in my belly can't be without a father."
When Zhou Yunqi heard this, he closed his eyes with a headache, but some things cannot be ignored by closing your eyes. He opened his eyes and suppressed his anger and said: "Zhou Jianying, are you crazy?"
She must be crazy. If what Cao Zhengxing said was true, then his grandmother was crazy too. They were all crazy.
Only a madman would do such a thing.
"This child must be aborted. Grandma won't agree!"
"After the baby is born, she will have to agree even if she doesn't agree."
Zhou Yunqi and others are in awe of Ji Mingzhu, but Zhou Jianying is not.
Zhou Yunqi no longer wanted to argue with Zhou Jianying about these things. If he could make sense of it, he would have done it long ago when she insisted on following him to Youzhou.
"I just want to ask you one thing. What about the sixth day of the New Year?"
Ji Mingzhu arranged for Chuliu to follow Zhou Jianying and Chusi to follow Zhou Yunqi.
It’s just because Zhou Yunqi’s current identity is somewhat special. If Chusi rashly appears next to him, he will be particularly conspicuous, so Chusi has been protecting Zhou Yunqi in secret.
But Chuliu has always been by Zhou Jianying's side to protect her, but from the time they set out until now, Zhou Yunqi has not seen Chuliu.
Zhou Jianying leaned against the carriage and said, "He stayed on the mountain."
"You drugged him?"
If it weren't for this reason, Zhou Yunqi really couldn't think of why he would disobey Ji Mingzhu's orders.
"Um."
Zhou Yunqi looked at Zhou Jianying in silence. What was he going to say? Was being favored really that much easier?
"If you can't help me, then take me to see Ji Sheng." Zhou Jianying said to Zhou Yunqi again.
"Ji Sheng is no longer the son-in-law of the Zhou family. He and Yun Shu have divorced. If you appear in front of him now, he will arrest you on the spot. Do you believe it?"
She wouldn't be so naive as to think that Ji Sheng was an easy person to talk to.
"No, I can help him, otherwise I would not let the north submit to Ji Sheng."
Zhou Yunqi said angrily: "You did that because your grandmother wanted to kill Zhou Beifang, otherwise would you really let him lead his troops to submit to Ji Sheng?"
"Is Zhou Beifang so important to you? Sometimes I really wonder if he has planted some kind of poison in you!"
Otherwise, how could a noble lady from the capital be attracted to an orphan from a foreign race?
"Yun Qi."
Compared to Zhou Yunqi's excitement, Zhou Jianying was much calmer.
She looked at Zhou Yunqi and said, "If one day you discovered that everything you believed in was an illusion, and that the people you were most familiar with had become strangers, what would you do?"
Zhou Jianying's incoherent words reminded Zhou Yunqi of what Cao Zhengxing had said just now at Haitangju. He looked at Zhou Jianying and said, "I'll ask her clearly."
"What will happen after I find out? Will I be imprisoned by her, or will I continue to be her puppet?"
Zhou Jianying smiled bitterly. "I really want to blame her and hate her, but she gave birth to me and raised me. What right do I have?"
"But I will never be her puppet. I, the Zhou family, will never get involved in party disputes."
Zhou Jianying's eyes were slightly red. "I don't want anything now. I just want Zhou Beifang and the baby in my belly. As long as they can guard my father's grave with me, is that not okay?"
"Things are not as simple as you think." Zhou Yunqi also calmed down, but there was an indescribable melancholy in his calmness.
So, Zhou Jianying has always known that she is the only one kept in the dark, right?
"Ji Sheng's feelings for Shu'er will definitely not disappear so easily, otherwise grandma wouldn't use Shu'er to restrain Ji Sheng."
Zhou Jianying looked at Zhou Yunqi and said, "You are now a captain under Ji Sheng. Do you really think he doesn't know?"
"I asked Beifang to bring the remaining Zhou army to submit to Ji Sheng just to pave the way for you."
Zhou Yunqi looked up at Zhou Jianying, "What do you mean?"
"I don't have my mother's ambition, nor do I want the Zhou Army to become a weapon in her factional struggles. The Zhou Army's military training has always been to guard the northern border and protect the Great Zhou."
"Since Ji Sheng is currently guarding the northern border, and you are under his command, it is up to you to lead the Zhou Army and continue its mission."
"The Zhou family army should not become a rebel army."
