And then, what else is to come?
She had already said that she would not get angry with him because of the past, so why was he still not letting it go?
Miss Jun was a little annoyed and a little embarrassed.
"And hurry on," she said, pushing him aside to lead the horse.
We've finally come to this point, how can we just let it go like this?
Zhu Zan grabbed her arm and wouldn't let go.
"I've finished speaking, and you just, don't say anything," he said.
Miss Jun felt even more embarrassed and felt extremely uncomfortable with her arm being held by him.
"What are you talking about? Didn't I tell you?" She said, trying to shake him off.
Say what?
What he wanted to hear and what she said was the future, but not that she would stop getting angry with him.
"I always say I like you, what about you?" Zhu Zan said.
I like you, not Chu Jiuling, nor Jun Jiuling, but you.
As he said this, his ears and face felt hot and he subconsciously rubbed his feet on the ground, wishing he could grind a hole in the ground and jump in, then cover himself with the soil and stomp firmly on it. Only then did he feel at ease.
When Miss Jun heard him say this, her face didn't look much better. She was a little flustered, but when she saw Zhu Zan like this, she wanted to laugh.
Since he was more flustered than she was, she felt a little more at ease.
"Oh," she said.
What does "Oh" mean? Zhu Zan grabbed her arm and shook it.
Miss Jun shook her head shyly.
"I don't know," she said.
There is nothing you don’t know!
"You, you want to be irresponsible again." Zhu Zan grabbed her arm and said anxiously.
"I'm not responsible for what I did to you, so why should I be responsible?" Miss Jun was angry and amused.
Now that things have come to this, it's too shameless to be here.
"Anyway, you have to give me an answer." Zhu Zan said in a muffled voice, looking at her, "Do you like me or not?"
Finally, I asked this question clearly.
Point it out to you clearly and ask me, no more evasion or excuses.
There is no escape, no avoidance, and people calm down instead.
The panic and embarrassment disappeared, and Miss Jun thought about it seriously.
"Well," she said, "it's not annoying."
Does not dislike mean love? Zhu Zan also thought about it seriously.
"I just don't dislike you." Miss Jun continued, looking at him seriously and calmly, "As for liking you, I don't know."
Don't know? Zhu Zan looked at her seriously.
What does it feel like to like someone? Does it mean thinking about that person all the time, feeling happy when you see him/her, and wanting to be with him/her forever?
She liked it, too.
Miss Jun looked a little disappointed. For example, the man she had married, the one she hoped to spend the rest of her life with, was all fake and shameful.
She was somewhat sad and angry.
Of course, she knows that people are not the same and things cannot be treated the same, so she cannot make a judgment based on this now.
Now...
"Now I don't think about whether I like him or not." She looked at Zhu Zan with clear eyes and a serious expression, "Because I don't know what to do after I like him."
Yes, she is Chu Jiuling. Her father was murdered and no one knows about it. Her siblings are imprisoned and their lives are uncertain.
The most important thing is that she didn't say no, but said she didn't know.
I don’t know now, but I will know in the future.
If you don't dislike it now, you may like it in the future.
Zhu Zan's expression also returned to calm.
"No hurry." He said, smiling slightly, "I'll ask you again later, and you can answer."
I think this problem is solved.
It seemed that the question was not answered.
But Zhu Zan looked at Miss Jun, and Miss Jun also looked at him, and the panic just now returned to calm, but there was a different feeling.
"Let's go then." Miss Jun said, without avoiding the gaze and looking at him.
Zhu Zan did not avoid it either.
"Let's go," he said.
Miss Jun did not move.
"Then let go of my hand first," she said.
Zhu Zan was stunned for a moment, then he realized that he was still holding her arm. He quickly let go, feeling a little flustered and a little amused, and then he really laughed.
Miss Jun glared at him and smiled.
Unlike the embarrassment and panic they felt before, they felt that their own and each other's laughter were relaxed and happy at this moment, but the two horses beside them sneezed, wagged their tails and looked over, as if they were a little confused as to why their owners were looking at each other and grinning.
At this time, the little incident caused by the two sheep had spread in Anguo Mansion. A fast horse galloped out of the city but was stopped before it went far.
"Sir, I am a postman." The soldier who was thrown off his horse said with a puzzled look, while taking out the scroll in his arms, "They are all postal letters."
In front of him stood a group of soldiers, wearing heavy armor and holding bows and crossbows ready to shoot.
The leading general looked at him coldly and did not take the scroll he took out.
"There is an order from above to check the post station translators and suspend the delivery of postal letters." He said, waving his hand, "Please go back."
The postman looked surprised.
"I haven't received this news." He said, with some embarrassment, "Sir, you see this letter is extremely important. If it is delayed..."
"If there is any delay, the superiors will be held responsible. You don't have to worry." The general interrupted him coldly.
Before the postman could say anything, the soldiers on the other side shouted in unison and pointed their bows and crossbows at him.
"If you don't retreat, you will be punished for disobeying military orders and killed without mercy," they shouted.
The post soldier had no choice but to get up and hurriedly lead the post horse back. The team of soldiers kept staring at him with bows and crossbows until he entered the city.
"Let's go, patrol strictly." The leading general said, turning around to see the crowds of people retreating on the road to watch the excitement.
Seeing him looking at them, the people were frightened and quickly moved back to avoid his sight.
"And you, now that the two countries are getting closer, have you done anything treacherous?" the general said in a cold voice.
The people were so frightened that they waved their hands and some even knelt on the ground.
"I dare not."
"The official is very discerning."
These people were carrying things on their shoulders and in their hands. They were obviously local people. The general just glanced at them and ignored them, and left quickly with them.
Not until the officers and soldiers had gone far away did the civilians raise their heads, feeling curious and uneasy, but not daring to say anything, and hurriedly dispersed. Among them was a man carrying two pheasants and a load of firewood on his back. He looked slightly gloomy, glanced at the obviously increasing number of soldiers standing at the city gate, lowered his head, and strode forward.
…
"What happened?"
Seeing Zhu Zan coming out of the post station, his expression was obviously different from the previous times, Miss Jun hurriedly stepped forward and asked...
"Any news?"
Zhu Zan looked gloomy...
"You're right, no news is good news..." he said...
That means there is news, otherwise he wouldn't look so angry...
Maybe it’s because I’ve been hearing bad news, so I don’t think much of it. Instead, I feel like the shoe has finally dropped…
"What is it?" Miss Jun asked calmly...
…
"Zhu Shan..."
A military officer in the court turned around and pointed at Duke Cheng in the queue, and shouted in a deep voice...
"Do you know your guilt?"
Duke Cheng raised his head and walked out of the queue...
"I don't know..." He said calmly...
The minister took a step forward and raised the tablet in his hand...
"Did you secretly order the northern officers and soldiers to be at odds with the Jin people?" He raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Did you instigate the officers and soldiers to fight with the Jin people?"
The emperor seemed a little surprised and uneasy...
"Duke Cheng, is this true?" he asked...
This was not a grand court meeting. Only important civil and military officials were present in the Qinzheng Hall. There were not many people, but they were all in high positions and would not speak easily. Once they spoke, they could influence political affairs. Of course, there was one exception...
Huang Cheng's eyes fell on a young officer standing at the end of the team. That was Ning Yunzhao, a guy who shouldn't have been here and didn't have enough experience or position...
However, the emperor asked Ning Yunzhao to accompany him because the official in charge of the daily record was ill...
Regardless of whether Ning Yunzhao was qualified to take over the position, the official was not sick at all...
It is outrageous that the emperor did such a ridiculous thing just to hear a few nice words and be praised by others!
Huang Cheng was very sad about this...
However, it would be best if you still flatter the emperor today. I will only obey His Majesty’s orders and I will deal with you later...
Huang Cheng withdrew his gaze from Ning Yunzhao and looked at Cheng Guogong again, not disguising his coldness...
The evidence is solid, let's see how you refute it...
"Your Majesty..." Duke Cheng leaned forward, "It is true..."
You actually admitted it?
Yu Shi and Huang Cheng were both slightly surprised, while Ning Yunzhao at the end of the team lowered his head and sighed.
It looks like Duke Cheng is serious about this.
