Xie Hong's face was gloomy and his expression was very unpleasant.
However, he really doesn't have any other feelings for Lin Jinyue right now.
He wasn't interested because his hair hadn't fully grown in yet.
Xie Hong originally thought that this little fox was a bit difficult to deal with, and he could try to find out more information from her. Maybe he could even find out some methods for making ice or crossbows.
I'm not in the mood for it anymore.
He asked directly, "You want to see Gu Shao?"
Lin Jinyue nodded: "What do you want?"
Xie Hong thought to himself that this girl was indeed very clever, but unfortunately she didn't know how to appreciate it.
Xie Hong, after all, is the eldest son of the Xie family. Yet Lin Jinyue is still unwilling to exchange the position of his principal wife for it!
Xie Hong looked at her suspiciously, as if he had just thought of something: "Could it be... that you've taken a fancy to Gu Shao?"
After having this idea, Xie Hong thought about it more and more and felt that this was the case.
If she hadn't taken a liking to Gu Shao, how could anyone possibly refuse Xie Hong's position as his legal wife?
He was somewhat displeased.
It wasn't that he actually had any feelings for Lin Jinyue, but his rejection of Gu Shao made him a little unhappy.
In Xie Hong's opinion, Gu Shao was nothing.
Especially now that the Gu family has fallen from grace.
Lin Jinyue was taken aback by his words, then looked at him as if he were an idiot, "I still have more than a month until my tenth birthday, what are you thinking?"
Xie Hong didn't understand what she was saying for a moment.
After all, it's good to get married early.
They got married at fourteen or fifteen, and settled down around ten, so Xie Hong didn't think much about it at all.
Seeing that he didn't understand, Lin Jinyue said, "I'm still young, I don't think about those things. Hurry up and tell me what you want, I'll see if it's worth it."
Xie Hong began by saying, "The method for making ice, your crossbows, the telescope that Gu Shao smashed, and the ointment recipe your mother made."
Lin Jinyue rolled her eyes.
He thought to himself that his idea was quite beautiful.
Lin Jinyue then said directly, "I'll give you the method for making ice. You can change it if you want, or forget it if you don't."
He was about to leave when he said that.
Xie Hong's men immediately stopped her.
Xie Hong said with a smile, "It's easy to get in here, but it's not so easy to leave."
Lin Jinyue laughed: "Forced sale? I dared to stay here alone because I was fully prepared."
Xie Hong is suspicious by nature.
When Lin Jinyue said that, he remembered all the strange and wonderful things in Yunhe Village.
Xie Hong then said, "Okay, we'll exchange the ice-making method, but if you want to see him again next time, you'll have to exchange it for something else. I think that glass pen would be quite good."
Lin Jinyue ignored him, determined to see Gu Shao first.
After arriving at the military camp, Lin Jinyue could clearly feel the difference between Commander Gu Shao and Commander Xie Hong.
When Gu Shao was around, the training ground was never idle.
Everywhere you look, you can see soldiers practicing their skills.
Aside from those patrolling outside, Xie Hong's men inside the camp were also allowed to drink alcohol.
Someone saw Lin Jinyue and, seeing how pretty she was, pounced on her without caring that she was only ten years old.
Lin Jinyue was no pushover either.
After learning from her brother for so long, she kicked him in the groin.
That kick would probably cripple him.
Lin Jinyue glanced at Xie Hong not far away and said loudly, "It still has to be General Gu. The army you command is undisciplined. If Prince Jing attacks now, you will all be finished."
Xie Hong hates being compared to Gu Shao the most.
He immediately ordered the drunkard to be beaten with twenty strokes of the military rod.
Now everyone in the military camp knew that this little girl was not to be trifled with.
Lin Jinyue arrived at the prison, which was a converted abandoned house. Gu Shao was locked in the innermost cell.
There were also several soldiers she recognized outside.
They were all covered in wounds.
Lin Jinyue arrived at Gu Shao's prison cell.
Gu Shao was uninjured, but he had dark circles under his eyes, looked much more haggard, and his hair was messy.
He was somewhat surprised to see Lin Jinyue. "Why are you here?"
Lin Jinyue said to the two soldiers behind her, "I need a private place to talk to him."
In the past, these two would never have listened to Lin Jinyue.
But after thinking it over, the two realized that Xie Hong seemed to have a special relationship with this girl. He had even hit Captain Xie Lin. Xie Lin was usually able to act with impunity in the military camp because of his kinship with Xie Hong.
After thinking about it, the two agreed.
The two men led them into a specially designated room for conversation. It was so airtight that not even a fly could escape, let alone a person.
The heavy stone door was closed, and only an oil lamp was lit inside.
In the dim light, Lin Jinyue also saw the bruises on Gu Shao's arm.
I imagine he's suffered a lot during this time.
Lin Jinyue asked him, "What's going on?"
Gu Shaodao said, "Xie Hong submitted a memorial accusing me of bending the law for personal gain and developing my own power in Lingnan, which aroused His Majesty's suspicion of our Gu family, so..."
Xie Hong's pretext was that he was protecting Yunhe Village.
Needless to say, this adds to people's burden.
Both of them fell silent for a moment.
"Gurgle—"
Lin Jinyue heard her stomach growl.
She took everything out of her small handbag and handed it to Gu Shao.
Every time she goes out, her parents and brother prepare all kinds of food and fill her up, afraid that she will go hungry. This time, it's a good opportunity for Gu Shao to eat.
Even though Gu Shao was very hungry, he ate slowly and deliberately.
Lin Jinyue asked him, "Do you want to come with me? Let's go to Yunhe Village, it's safe there."
Gu Shao swallowed what was in his mouth and shook his head: "No, I don't know what will happen to my parents. If I escape, they will have a reason to attack my Gu family. There are more than a hundred people in the Gu family. If they lose their lives because of my own selfishness, I will not be able to live in peace."
