Zheng Quchi clenched his small fists and stiffened his neck: "...Who's afraid of who?"
She was feeling hot and bothered.
...She's still standing on his turf. Lan Yue went to find someone, and Wu Liang and the others stayed outside the Golden Terrace and didn't follow. Liu Fengmian is a weak scholar with no real skills, and she's even worse than him. What if he gets angry and makes her disappear?
This is not an exaggeration, but a lesson learned from the past. When he wanted to take her away, even the people of Julu Kingdom didn't dare to stop him.
At that moment, a source of heat pressed against her back, and a pair of beautifully sculpted hands placed on her shoulders, giving her strength: "So what if I'm your enemy? Don't forget, this is Ye Kingdom. She is the wife of a high-ranking general. Unless you use the entire army of Beiyuan Kingdom to forcibly take her away, no one can take her away."
Zheng Quchi suddenly realized, "That's right, after being an ordinary citizen for so long, I've forgotten that after my husband died, I inherited everything from him. Now I can be considered one of the most powerful and influential people in Ye."
Who has more military power than her? Not only does she have the Four Symbols Army left by her deceased husband, but now she also has the golden seal given to her by the Crown Prince, which allows her to mobilize the three armies stationed in Ye Kingdom.
Once she made up her mind, her tone changed: "Who's afraid of who!"
She dared to do it again.
Gongshu Jiruo's glassy eyes flashed with cold light as he suddenly looked at Liu Fengmian: "Who exactly are you?"
Liu Fengmian asked with a puzzled look, "Didn't we talk before? I am Liu Fengmian, the second son of the Duke of Liu."
His expression was so innocent and bewildered, as if he couldn't understand what Gongshu Jiru was saying at all.
“You are not,” Gongshu Jiruo said with certainty.
Zheng Quchi couldn't stand it anymore and said, "If he isn't, then are you? Besides, what does it matter whether he is or isn't, what does it have to do with what we're discussing? In short, the matter for today's meeting has already been clarified..."
Gongshu Jiruo didn't want to hear a single word from her distancing herself from him, so he interrupted, "You don't want to remove the curse from your sister?"
With such a huge grudge and estrangement between them, and even hatred between them, how could she possibly have the nerve to ask her second uncle to remove the curse from her younger sister?
"I have other ways, so there's no need for you all to worry about it. That's all we have to say. Farewell."
Rather than waiting for his so-called second uncle to come and solve the problem, and being blackmailed by him, she would rather risk finding a way to obtain the "Divine Tree Dream" from the Queen's palace.
Seeing that she was determined to sever all ties with him and turned to leave, Gongshu Jiruo reached out to stop her, but his hand froze in place, his pride and dignity holding him firmly in place.
"I heard you're going to participate in the Six Kingdoms Military Trial?"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Quchi stopped in her tracks, but she did not turn around: "I recently met Mo Ye. He told me that if the Six Kingdoms Trial of War is lost, then we will have to face the real battlefield of the Six Kingdoms destroying Ye. He also said that I should follow him because I will have no other choice."
As she spoke, she slowly turned around, meeting Gongshu's eyes, which were as fierce as a storm, and smiled: "Are you going to say something just as threatening and despicable as him?"
Gongshu's pupils seemed to tremble, and he immediately fell silent.
Ruler, I don't want to become anything despicable, but I don't know what I should do to keep you.
"Whether it's you or Mo Ye, if you're so capable, then bring it on. Even if I, Zheng Quchi, lose, I will lose standing up, and I will never bow my head and beg for mercy."
She reached out and took Sang Yaomei from Liu Fengmian's arms, then turned and left with her in her arms. Liu Fengmian did not follow immediately. He looked at Gongshu Jiruo with a sly smile: "Master Gongshu, one wrong step leads to another. You must not change your ways, because I am afraid you will... be doomed forever."
After leaving those words with an ambiguous meaning, he followed Zheng Quchi's retreating figure and left.
Gongshu Ji, left in the room, resembled a withered and pale sculpture. A storm raged in his eyes, and after a long time, his eyes were filled with black, drowning water, gloomy and cold.
He never fails to get what he wants. Since Zheng Quchi wants to compete with him head-on, he will grant her wish... She may think that military equipment is as advantageous as wooden tools, and that she can win in comparison. If so, she is naive.
The difference between Beiyuan and Ye Kingdom is like heaven and earth. He will make her witness it firsthand, so that she will completely lose that thought of seeking a precarious survival for Ye Kingdom. Annihilation is the only outcome for Ye Kingdom.
——
After leaving Huangjintai without taking a break, Zheng Quchi immediately reunited with Wu Liang and the others. Only after seeing his own people did Zheng Quchi's pounding heart calm down a little.
Seeing that she seemed to have been frightened, Wu Liang, Kong Li, and Si Xi immediately asked anxiously, "Madam, what's wrong? What happened?"
She let out a long sigh, her eyes widening, and exclaimed with emotion, "I just thoroughly ridiculed Gongshu Jiruo, and even claimed that I would let him come at me in the Six Kingdoms Military Trial. Can you believe it?"
Wu Liang and his group certainly knew who Gongshu Jiruo was. It might be an exaggeration to say that his name was a household name in the Seven Kingdoms, but it was true that anyone with a little knowledge knew him.
Hearing the lady say this in such a teasing and self-deprecating tone, whether it was true or not, the expressions of the three of them were quite interesting.
Wu Liang asked uncertainly, "The Gongshu Jiruo that you mentioned, Madam, is that the person from the Northern Abyss Kingdom...?"
"Who else could it be besides him?" Zheng Quchi asked.
Kong Li's eyes widened, and he gave Zheng Quchi a thumbs up: "Madam is mighty! Gongshu Jiruo has three thousand elite disciples, each of them is exceptionally capable and possesses considerable power. They number in the tens of thousands across the seven kingdoms, and even Ye Kingdom has many of their people. We must be more careful when we walk at night in the future."
