Yuwen Sheng sneered, "If you dare say another word, I..."
Zheng Quchi quickly grabbed his arm, afraid that he would pick up the sword again and stab someone. She was sweating profusely and advised, "He won't say anything more, he won't say anything more, let's go quickly."
Brother, what kind of situation is this? We don't have time to argue.
Yuwen Sheng froze, turning his head to look at her, trying to discern the true emotions in her eyes.
The time she grabbed him before, he could think she was just acting rashly without thinking it through, but what about now?
If she had truly believed Gongshu Jiruo's instigation and harbored resentment and disgust towards him, wouldn't her closeness to him have been different?
After a long while, he finally confirmed that she had not been affected by Gongshu Jiruo's words, and only then did he remove the gloomy look that had been hanging over his brow.
He was still smiling, but unlike his previous sinister grin, he was now genuinely pleased with himself, feeling as if he were basking in a spring breeze.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Saw has now witnessed the true meaning of polarization. In front of them, he is like a bloodthirsty mad dog, biting anyone he can get his hands on. But in front of Zheng Quchi, he is like a leashd pet, docile and harmless.
"My lord, is she... the same Sang Xuanqing from back then?" Saw asked in a low voice.
Saw had never seen "Sang Xuanqing's" true face before. He only saw that the dark and skinny boy had undergone a tremendous transformation.
Previously, at the "Jichun Craftsmen's Guild," he was out on business and had not been with Gongshu Jiruo, so this was the first time he had seen Zheng Quchi dressed as a woman without disguising himself.
Cough cough... Gongshu Jiruo's entire lungs were clenched in pain, his throat felt bitter and metallic, and he asked her breathlessly, "Aqing, do you really want to go with him?"
Zheng Quchi turned her head and saw Gongshu Jiruo's stubborn look that demanded an answer. She nodded and said, "Yes, I must return to Ye. I told you that before."
"Even if you don't make it back to Ye in the first place?" Gongshu Jiruo's tone was calm, not like he was saying something in anger, but rather like he knew something and was warning her to turn back.
Zheng Quchi: "..." No, if you continue to shake my resolve like this, be careful I might just come and join you right now.
Just as her thoughts of betraying the enemy began to sprout, a sharp gust of wind shot out in front of her with a "whoosh." If the saw hadn't blocked Gongshu Jiruo's path with its heavy body in time, Gongshu Jiruo would definitely have been pierced through the top by Yuwen Sheng's sword at that moment.
"..." Zheng Quchi silently swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
She...she seems to have said it before, the worst thing a person can do is to be a fence-sitter and waver between two sides. She has always been a very honest and reliable person, and she would never do such a thing.
The saw's muscles were extraordinary; the sword only penetrated the tip before getting stuck. Although a lot of blood was lost, it didn't completely pierce through the chest.
Now, Saw has also lost one hand and has a sword hole in his left chest, making his injuries comparable to those of his lord.
The remaining members of the Gongshu family guards all spread their arms to protect the front, standing ready, but their tense and wide-eyed appearance made them look like chicks that could be snatched away by an eagle at any moment, posing no threat whatsoever.
Given the current situation, no matter what unpredictable dangers might arise later, she could no longer show the slightest hesitation. She said solemnly, "Master Gongshu, don't try to persuade me. Am I the kind of person who is afraid of death?"
After she finished speaking, she turned to Yuwen Sheng and said quickly, "We shouldn't delay any longer. Let's take the Panlong carriage. I brought it with me."
Seemingly quite satisfied with Zheng Quchi's "firm" attitude at this moment, Yuwen Sheng's gentle yet murderous expression was replaced by gentleness: "Madam's consideration is indeed thorough."
"Pah! Who's your wife? You big liar!" Zheng thought to himself, though he dared not speak out. He gave a dry laugh.
Where is the carriage?
"I'll give you directions."
"Aqing!" Gongshu Jiru called her again from behind. He clearly had no strength left, and he needed others to support him to even stand, but he still shouted hoarsely, wanting to keep her here.
But Zheng Quchi was desperately pulling Yuwen Sheng forward without looking back.
You barely managed to save your life, Gongshu Jiruo, can't you learn to be patient for a while and live a good life?
Gongshu Jiruo's eyes were red-rimmed, but his face was frighteningly pale.
“Ah Qing, you said you would come back to Beiyuan with me. I believed you then, and I will always believe you in the future… One day, I will definitely bring you back to Beiyuan.”
His voice was already barely audible, but the deep emotion it contained sent chills down Zheng Quchi's spine. She bit her lower lip but didn't reply with a single word.
With her short legs, she couldn't keep up with Yuwen Sheng, so Yuwen Sheng grabbed her waist and let her lean on him like a pendant, and the two of them ran together in sync.
On the way, Yuwen Sheng's eyes were cold and dark, as if he was suppressing some kind of emotion that was about to explode. He kept Zheng Quchi by his side and was unwilling to let his emotions completely get out of control and turn him into a monster who had lost his mind.
Where is Fu Rong?
"He said he would buy us time to leave, but I don't know what he did."
The moment Fu Rong was mentioned, Zheng Quchi's thoughts immediately turned to him. She had disagreed with his decision at the time because she knew that whatever he was going to do, it would be extremely dangerous for him to face it alone, but she couldn't stop him.
He said, "Madam, I, Fu Rong, am the general's subordinate. My duty is to sacrifice myself for the general without hesitation. This is my mission and my pride."
