Today's negotiation was still a little disappointing for Zhang Wuji.
After all, Zhang Wuji did not achieve his goal.
However, Zhang Wuji did not hold a grudge against Zhao Min.
Just as Zhao Min said, we should always put ourselves in other people's shoes. I believe that if Zhao Min were replaced by anyone else, they would not agree to Zhang Wuji's conditions.
After eating a few mouthfuls of beef jerky, Zhao Min said to Zhang Wuji, "Sir, if there is nothing else, let's stop here today. After all, I am just a little girl. Because of your misunderstanding, I have been fighting with your soldiers for several hours today. I am very tired. If there is nothing else, I will go back to sleep."
Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "Then we won't bother you anymore. See you on the battlefield tomorrow."
Zhao Min smiled and said: "Let's meet on the battlefield. It will be a testament to your ability if you can defeat me on the battlefield."
Zhang Wuji threw the half-finished bag of beef jerky back into Zhao Min's hand.
"I always eat your food and drink your drinks, I feel embarrassed. Next time, I will treat you."
Zhao Min looked at the half bag of beef jerky in her hand and smiled slightly. Then she threw the bag back into Zhang Wuji's hand.
"Take it back and eat it. This is good stuff. Ordinary soldiers may not be able to eat it for several years. If one day, God is blind and lets me fall into your hands, just use this thing to treat me before you kill me."
"At least, let me die with a full stomach."
After Zhao Min said this, she turned and left.
Zhang Wuji didn't waste any words. He threw the half bag of beef jerky into Zhou Zhiruo's hand and said, "Zhiruo, let's keep this. When Zhao Min falls into my hands, I will use this to treat her."
…
Throughout this meeting, only Zhou Zhiruo had the intention to kill Zhao Min, while Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min had never thought of killing each other in such an occasion.
On the way back, Zhou Zhiruo said to Zhang Wuji: "It can be said that nothing has been agreed between you and Zhao Min. What should we do next? Will Longcheng be saved?"
Zhang Wuji said firmly: "Save her, we must save her, but next, we can't confront her head-on."
Zhou Zhiruo said: "If we don't confront it head-on, what else can we do?"
Zhang Wuji glanced at Zhou Zhiruo and said, "Zhiruo, it seems we have to be separated for a day."
Zhou Zhiruo was shocked: "Separate? When have we ever been separated? No, I want to die with you."
Zhang Wuji hurriedly said: "Zhiruo, listen to me first. Now, with our strength, even if we can pass Zhao Min, we will need to pay the price of another 70,000 to 80,000 people."
"But even if we pay such a price, she still has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses under Longcheng. If we continue to fight like this, there is a high probability that we will be wiped out."
"So, I want the soldiers in Longcheng to break out tonight. No matter how many people escape, that's it. And tonight, I will take a detour and rush back to Longcheng to plan this matter."
Zhou Zhiruo said: "Okay, I'll go with you. I'll listen to whatever you say, but you can't leave me."
Zhang Wuji hugged her in his arms and said, "Zhiruo, this time, you must be obedient."
"It's not that I don't want to take you with me, but after I leave, the Ming Cult army will lack an authoritative person."
"You have followed me since Guangmingding. For such a long time, your status in the Ming Cult has been second only to mine. When I am not around, everyone in the Ming Cult will naturally obey your orders."
"With you here, the army will not be in chaos."
Zhou Zhiruo knew that once Zhang Wuji made up his mind, it would be difficult for him to change it, but she was well aware that this journey was dangerous. When she thought of Zhang Wuji being in danger, tears kept falling from her eyes.
Zhou Zhiruo used her hands to pat Zhang Wuji's back repeatedly: "Zhang Wuji, Zhang Wuji, I hate you. On the first night we lived together on Guangmingding, you promised me that you would never abandon me."
"For so long, I have followed you wherever you go, but, but you are going to leave me."
Zhang Wuji didn't know how to comfort Zhou Zhiruo.
Zhou Zhiruo has been lonely all her life. So far, she has nothing but Zhang Wuji.
Therefore, no matter what Zhang Wuji wanted to do, she would agree without hesitation. Even if he thought of another woman, Zhou Zhiruo would secretly help him.
Because Zhou Zhiruo didn't want to lose the only person she had.
Time kept passing, and Zhang Wuji knew that he probably didn't have much time left.
He whispered to Zhou Zhiruo, "Zhiruo, please be obedient. I will go to Longcheng first and plan a breakout for the soldiers there, and you will lead the soldiers here to resist Zhao Min for me."
…
"Please," these three words were the first time Zhou Zhiruo heard Zhang Wuji say them to her.
If it were any other time, Zhou Zhiruo might not have such a big reaction, but now it was different from the past.
The war is imminent, and today alone, the Ming Cult army has suffered 80,000 casualties.
It has been rare since ancient times for such a large number of soldiers to be killed or injured in one day.
Zhou Zhiruo was a little scared. She was afraid that Zhang Wuji would fall down where she couldn't see him.
If this man falls, then her life will lose its meaning.
…
"Zhiruo, there's no time left. I really have to leave. Just this once, okay?"
