Chapter 105 Betrayal [Bonus Chapter]
Guan Zhiwei touched her head. Even though she had seen all sorts of strange people in the world, Gao Huan was one of the strangest.
How many lives do you have left?
Gao Huan dipped his brush in water and wrote down 84.
Guan Zhiwei was speechless, scratching her chin. "Besides this number, is there anything else that's off? Do you dream? Have you ever dreamed that you have short hair? Or that everyone you see has short hair? Have you ever dreamed about Zhi Junyuan?"
Gao Huan listened to her increasingly strange questions and kept shaking his head: "How could I possibly dream about him?"
"Have you ever dreamed about me?" Guan Zhiwei quickly asked.
Gao Huan blushed slightly.
"What am I like in my dreams?" Guan Zhiwei pressed on.
"It's just... imposing and powerful." Gao Huan hesitated for a moment before saying, "The armor is very beautiful."
Guan Zhiwei was disappointed and said coldly, "At this rate of consumption, let alone a hundred lives, even a thousand lives wouldn't be enough to kill you."
Gao Huan said calmly, "When the world is at peace and prosperous, we won't have to do this anymore. It will be soon."
Guan Zhiwei suddenly felt bored; he still had something to look forward to, and he was better than me.
She turned and went out of the house, looking at the bright moon in the sky, the ancient moon shining on people today.
How can I get home?
What is the relationship between Zhi Junyuan in the dream and the immortal Gao Huan?
What do I have to do with them?
"Grand Tutor?"
Yuan Chizheng originally came out to try his luck, but he didn't expect to actually run into someone.
He stepped forward with a look of surprise on his face, his ears red from the cold. "I was afraid you wouldn't be able to find your way, so I wanted to help you."
"Let's go then, I'm a little sleepy." Guan Zhiwei yawned.
She wasn't just a little tired, she was very sleepy, but her mind was constantly on edge.
Her conversation with Gao Huan left her feeling disheartened, and she seemed to be in a standby mode again.
In Gao Huan's words, she was immersed in another world.
Yuan Chi was leading her into a room.
She looked around, feeling that the man looked somewhat familiar, and finally looked at Yuan Chizheng: "Why aren't you leaving yet?"
Yuan Chizheng shyly replied, "I am willing to serve the Grand Tutor."
Before Guan Zhiwei could think of anything else, she suddenly realized why he looked familiar.
"I've been to this room before."
"ah?"
"Your father used to live in this room, right? I killed him here."
"..."
Yuan Chi swallowed hard. He clearly hadn't cultivated to the level of Gao Huan, and couldn't joke about "father's death" without batting an eye.
Guan Zhiwei asked with a mischievous smile, "I don't mind sleeping here, do you want to sleep here?"
Yuan Chi felt a chill run down his spine. His heart wasn't that big. Perhaps his father's soul was still lingering in the house, watching the unfilial behavior of his descendants and cursing them!
"Say something."
"Grand Tutor..." Yuan Chizheng knelt down with a thud, his eyes filled with tears.
Guan Zhiwei laughed: "What are you doing? It's like I'm forcibly taking a man from the people."
Yuan Chi was crying with tears streaming down her face: "Of course I admire you, but... I've been studying since I was a child."
"Oh." Guan Zhiwei nodded seriously: "Then you must be very knowledgeable about propriety, righteousness, integrity, and a sense of shame."
Yuan Chizheng said with a righteous expression, "Propriety, righteousness, integrity and a sense of shame are called the four cardinal virtues; if the four cardinal virtues are not upheld, the country will perish."
Guan Zhiwei was getting impatient and yawned: "So?"
Yuan Chi hardened his heart and said, "Let's change rooms."
Guan Zhiwei was pleased. She had been educated and understood propriety, righteousness, integrity, and a sense of shame, but not much of it.
She reached out and touched the bed. "But I want to remember your father on this bed."
"..."
Yuan Chi was on the verge of a breakdown, his face clearly saying, "This woman has such heavy tastes, I can't take it anymore."
“Ah Zheng, you are still in mourning. Since I like you, how could I be so eager to spend every moment with you?”
"Thank you, Grand Tutor." Yuan Chi was afraid she would say something else, so after thanking her, he immediately got up and ran away.
Guan Zhiwei shook her head. "His father is more steady."
The room was the same, but the bed had been changed, and the bedding had been remade. It was soft and cozy to lie on. Guan Zhiwei hadn't slept for a long time, and she desperately wanted to get some sleep, perhaps even having a dream related to modern times.
As long as it has even the slightest connection to modernity, that's fine.
Even if it's just on a busy street.
If she were a little greedier, she would like to catch a glimpse of her mother through the window.
Let's dream.
"My lord, Gao Huan requests an audience."
Guan Zhiwei suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes bloodshot. "Get in here!"
The door opened, and Gao Huan came in.
Guan Zhiwei lay on the bed, tilted her head, frowned and scolded, "Can't you at least have some time to offer yourself up? I haven't slept for several nights."
There were soldiers guarding the door, and they immediately began to whisper among themselves.
"No wonder Young Master Gao is favored. Look how closely he watches over him, afraid that the Yuan family will share his favor."
"A woman's heart cannot be tied down. Even the Grand Tutor has scolded him; he's probably about to fall out of favor."
Gao Huan's lips twitched speechlessly. He closed the door and stepped forward, looking at Guan Zhiwei with a look of utter despair.
He didn't even need to think about what kind of rumors would circulate outside.
—Gao Silang is physically weak, yet he still monopolizes the position of Grand Tutor. He doesn't have the skills to do such a difficult job.
The culprit was Guan Zhiwei's deliberate act.
Facing Gao Huan's ghostly gaze, she made a face and said, "Who told you to disturb my sleep?"
Gao Huan bowed helplessly and said, "I have disturbed your rest, my lord. I deserve to die. I will take my leave now."
"never mind."
Guan Zhiwei got up: "You've ruined my sweet dreams, I'm too lazy to sleep anymore."
Gao Huan resisted weakly, saying in a low voice, "You said you don't dream at all."
Well, the immediate reason she was angry was because she wasn't dreaming.
That dream, which connected with the modern world, seems to have been just a fleeting moment.
Could it be that knowing Junyuan is in danger is the reason he had this dream?
If you stab him, will he survive like Gao Huan?
I should find an opportunity to try.
"What is my lord thinking?"
"Knowing you are far away."
Gao Huan narrowed his eyes slightly and cupped his hands in greeting: "I have no ill intentions toward the Zhi family father and son. Please understand, my lord."
Guan Zhiwei thought to herself, "I'd be a fool to believe you."
“When my lord went to rescue Ji Jun-won, I realized that the Hong family had great ambitions and might unite the three families. So I sent a letter to Ji Fang, asking him to come and support us as soon as possible. He replied. The messenger just arrived. Here is the letter.”
I opened the letter and took a look.
The above is a lot of rambling, but most of it is nonsense. To sum it up in one sentence: we can't provide any support.
There were many reasons, such as guarding against powerful families, needing to defend the city, and being in a standoff with a certain force. They also mentioned that there was no more food in the city and asked the Grand Tutor to return to the capital in time.
If people don't come, we'll cut off your food supply.
Zhi Fang is clearly implying that Guan Zhiwei won't be coming back, that she'll either be stuck somewhere or die there.
Having just fought several tough battles, with his men either dead or wounded, and trapped in a dangerous situation surrounded by more than 500,000 allied troops.
Even if you were Guan Zhiwei, you're doomed.
