"He is my king's soldier. Why should I be gentle to him?"
Fu Tong'er hummed, and then, remembering Shangguan Yu's gift of the jade pendant, she asked, "Does Master Jiu trust Shangguan Yu?"
Lu Zhenzhi said: "That's natural."
"No." Fu Tong'er said, "Master Jiu can no longer trust him."
"Why? What happened on the road?" Lu Zhenzhi thought that he always taught Shangguan Yu as an elder, urging him to do his job well and treating him like his own son.
Fu Tong'er pursed her lips, not daring to tell Lu Zhenzhi that Shangguan Yu had given her his personal jade pendant as a token and then took it back.
Seeing that she refused to speak, the man did not ask any more questions. It was not difficult to investigate this matter. It must have happened that made this girl feel uncomfortable.
"You don't have to tell me."
"Master Jiu will check it out, right?" Fu Tong'er asked.
"That's natural."
"Tell Master Jiu on your own initiative, will he let him go?"
Lu Zhenzhi couldn't help but laugh: "Tong'er pleads for Yu Ran? What, Tong'er likes him?"
"Nonsense, Master Jiu can't trust him anymore. At the very least, you have to be wary of him. He did something that made me feel he wasn't loyal to Master Jiu. At least not completely. But Master Jiu's methods also scare me. Shangguan Yu said I'm younger than him, probably no more than 20. It would be such a shame if I died so young."
Lu Zhenzhi listened to Fu Tong'er's words and narrowed his eyes slightly. Yu Ran actually compared her age with this girl. Could it be that she had some thoughts about love between men and women?
"What else?" Lu Zhenzhi asked lightly, his tone so calm that it was hard to guess what he was thinking.
"And? What else—"
The man listened carefully to every word Fu Tong'er said.
"What else did he say, besides comparing his age with yours?" Lu Zhenzhi said.
"Will Master Jiu be angry with him? Angry with Shangguan Yu?"
"Why, is Tong'er fascinated by him?"
"How is that possible? He looks so frail, how can he compare to Master Jiu... Well, no, I mean," Fu Tong'er closed her eyes awkwardly, mentally cursing herself for speaking too quickly. "I mean, Master Jiu is better."
Lu Zhenzhi smiled faintly and placed a deep kiss on the top of Fu Tong'er's head. He murmured in a low voice above Fu Tong'er's head: "No wonder Tong'er was reluctant to let me go last night. In that case, wouldn't it be better for you to move into my inner chamber?"
"You're dreaming. You haven't even married me yet and you want to sleep with me for free."
"What's the difference? Do I have to stay at your place? If I carry you back tonight, Tong'er will be reluctant to let me go. Why bother? Just stay with me. No matter how late it is, Tong'er can hold me and sleep all night."
"You, you, you, shut up. I don't want to. I can't. Don't tempt me, you evil man."
After hearing this, Lu Zhenzhi said calmly, "Look, you want it too, don't you?" Then, he lowered his head slightly and whispered into Fu Tong'er's ear, "Live with me. I'll take you to play something interesting tonight. Isn't Xiao Tong'er interested?"
Fu Tong'er instantly remembered the book about sex she had seen in the man's drawer. Her face flushed red as she said, "No, no, no, don't even think about it! You old pervert!"
Old pervert... Lu Zhenzhi couldn't help but laugh.
"Back to the topic just now, Master Jiu can no longer trust Shangguan Yu. Although he is your godson, he may have second thoughts about you."
"Tong'er must give a reasonable reason."
"Master Jiu, don't be angry."
Lu Zhenzhi nodded.
"He, he gave me his personal jade pendant as a Dali Temple token!"
"Did Tong'er accept it?"
"Of course not!" Fu Tong'er said, "It's not like I haven't seen what a token looks like before."
Lu Zhenzhi snorted coldly: "He is so bold."
"He also said, uh, forget it."
"What else did you say?" Lu Zhenzhi continued to ask.
"He told me to take the jade pendant to the Dali Temple to find him."
——
The tent was so quiet that one could hear the howling of monkeys in the mountains outside.
"Master Jiu, just stop trusting him, but don't take his life." Fu Tong'er said.
"Tong'er, don't worry." Lu Zhenzhi said. He didn't expect that the brat would have such evil intentions after receiving a favor. He had both evil intentions and the courage to do evil. If he kept him, he would definitely rebel in the future.
"Master Jiu, I can't speak anymore, right?"
"Be good, little girl."
"Sure enough, in Jiu Ye's heart, my words are still not as useful as Yan'er's."
"..." Lu Zhenzhi said helplessly, "How much did you hear outside?"
"Not a single word has been missed. How can you hold me in your arms like this? How can you face Yan'er?"
"This king discovered that you—" Lu Zhenzhi said slowly, "Although you are young, you always like to be so presumptuous in front of this king!"
"If you trespass into the military camp, I will punish you according to military law."
"What about Yan'er? What if it's Yan'er you're holding right now, Master Jiu? Since Yan'er isn't dead, should I politely leave? What if it's Yan'er who's asking Master Jiu to spare Shangguan Yu?"
"This prince has been too indulgent to you," Lu Zhenzhi said. "The women in my family are not allowed to participate in military affairs or interfere in government affairs. I am well aware of Yu Ran's situation. Tong'er is still young and doesn't understand the seriousness of it."
"Will Yan'er understand? Since she's still alive, and Jiu Ye knows where she is and who she is, can't he just chase me away? Why bother saying all this!"
"Someone come..."
A soldier came in with his fists clasped.
"Nineth Master!"
"What should I do according to military orders if I trespass into a military camp?"
"Reporting to Master Jiu, he deserves fifty lashes of the cane."
"Miss Fu trespassed into the military camp. Considering it's her first offense, she will be dragged out and beaten with ten sticks." Lu Zhenzhi's anger was slowly rising.
"King Hui is right," Fu Tong'er said, "Nine Master is truly cruel."
Lu Zhenzhi stood up and shouted angrily: "Take him away!"
