Liu Ziqi's face darkened, and he looked embarrassed for a moment: "Since you know what kind of life she wants to live, then she shouldn't marry you! You are so busy trying to climb up the social ladder, how can you let her be at ease?"
Yu Qizhe: "I will protect her with my life!"
"Anyone can say such things!" Liu Ziqi sneered, "If you really wanted to protect Yu Jiao with your life, you wouldn't have said that you two were just siblings for the sake of your future!"
Yu Qizhe closed his eyes and spoke again calmly: "Young Master Liu doesn't like me, so he prefers Young Marquis Gu? It's a pity that Yu Jiao has no feelings for Young Marquis Gu. Young Master Liu can make a career in Lingnan, and he must have the support of Marquis Annan behind him. The emperor has wanted to move the Gu family for a long time. If the matter of Lingnan is exposed, the Gu family will suffer in addition to the Liu family."
He looked at Liu Ziqi and said in a somewhat cold voice: "I don't care what you and the Gu family want to do, but Yu Jiao shouldn't be dragged into your quagmire. She knows nothing about her own life experience, and she shouldn't bear anything for you."
Liu Ziqi was hit on the spot, he did have such concerns. Emperor Mingzheng had been eyeing the Gu family in recent years. If the Lingnan Army had not been built up by Gu Wei single-handedly, and had been as solid as an iron barrel over the years, making it impossible for Emperor Mingzheng to start, the Gu family would probably have ceased to exist long ago.
There is a knife hanging over the Gu family's head. Otherwise, entrusting Yu Jiao to Gu Yun's care would indeed be the best candidate in Liu Ziqi's mind.
Seeing Liu Ziqi silent, Yu Qizhe continued, "How sincere I am to Yu Jiao, you won't believe me even if I tell you, just wait and see. My marriage with Yu Jiao is a foregone conclusion, even if you don't agree, can you still disobey my order? I came here to see you in advance today, just because I don't want to embarrass Yu Jiao."
Anger showed on Liu Ziqi's face. He bit his cheek and was extremely annoyed at Yu Qizhe's fearless look.
He rushed back from Lingnan at full speed, extremely anxious, but there was nothing he could do. The time was not right, and if he used tough measures to stop the marriage, he would only be exposed prematurely and bring disaster upon himself.
The person who tied the bell must untie it. The only way is to let Yu Qizhe, the person who asked for the order, cancel the engagement on his own initiative.
But now Liu Ziqi could see clearly that there was no way this person would be willing to cancel the engagement.
Liu Ziqi swung his palm fiercely, and the table in front of them broke into pieces. He stared at Yu Qizhe with cold eyes and murderous intent: "Aren't you afraid of death? Don't forget that the dead can't get married."
Yu Qizhe stood up and waved his sleeves to block the flying wood chips. He smiled calmly and said, "It depends on whether Master Liu has the ability to kill me."
Liu Ziqi narrowed his eyes, somewhat surprised that Yu Qizhe actually knew martial arts. The next moment, he thrust his long fist like a hook and attacked Yu Qizhe's face fiercely.
Yu Qizhe did not dodge, but blocked with his elbow. The two of them exchanged moves in silence.
From the moment the table was smashed by Liu Ziqi, the atmosphere between Liu Ziqi's men and the people brought by Yu Qizhe in the lobby on the first floor became tense. Both sides stared at each other vigilantly and reached for hidden weapons.
After a cup of tea, Liu Ziqi opened the door and went downstairs first. He said to his servants expressionlessly, "Let's go into the city."
The group left the inn and mounted their horses. The official road was covered in dust and the sound of horse hooves faded away.
After not seeing Yu Qizhe coming downstairs for a long time, the subordinates who followed him hurried upstairs to take a look. They saw Yu Qizhe standing by the window with his back turned. The subordinates breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sir, are we going back to the city?"
Yu Qizhe responded softly, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, then turned around and walked out of the room.
