Zhang Wuji said: "Miss Gong, I have seen clearly your loyalty to the Ming Dynasty. I just think that what your sister said that day made some sense."
"If you follow someone like me, you might get rich and famous, but you might also end up losing your head."
"Miss Gong, you must have experienced some things in the past. You will definitely understand the meaning of what I say."
Gong Yu said: "Your Majesty, of course I understand what you mean."
"But I just want to be by your side. I don't ask for anything from you, and I don't have any bad intentions."
After saying this, Gong Yu knelt down in front of Zhang Wuji and said, "Your Majesty, I know you may still be afraid of my identity."
"I have indeed experienced some things in the past, but those things are in the past."
"I am just a little girl now."
"Gong Yu begs Your Majesty to take her in, even if it means just being by your side as a maid serving tea and water."
Zhang Wuji quickly helped Gong Yu up and asked, "Miss Gong, what are you doing?"
"You have already done me a favor, and I cannot bear your kneeling down."
Gong Yu still gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, please take me in."
At this moment, Yu Fei on the side laughed.
She said to Zhou Zhiruo, "Haha, Sister Zhou, what do you think? I said Miss Gong is not someone who gives up easily. Am I also quite accurate in judging people?"
Zhou Zhiruo just rolled her eyes at Yu Fei but said nothing.
Gong Yu put aside all her pride and begged to stay with Zhang Wuji.
Originally, considering all the things she did for Zhang Wuji, there was no need for this.
But it was because of a few words from her good sister that Gong Yu was so embarrassed today.
After helping her up, Zhang Wuji said, "Miss Gong, you must never do this again."
"You have saved Jinyang from crisis twice."
"From now on, the door of my house will be open to you at any time and anywhere. No matter where I am, if you have any problems, you can come to me anytime and anywhere."
…
At night, Zhang Wuji had just returned to his mansion when a maid hurriedly walked up to him.
"Your Majesty, General Yang sent someone to report."
"They said Zhao Min is waiting for you outside Jinyang City."
Zhang Wuji was stunned for a moment: "Zhao Min, why is she waiting for me? Is she looking for me to drink?"
The maid said, "Your Majesty, it seems that she really wants to have a drink with you."
Zhang Wuji laughed and said, "Then I have to go. If I don't go, I'm afraid the hundreds of thousands of soldiers behind her will laugh at me."
About half an hour later, Zhang Wuji arrived at the city wall of Jinyang again.
Seeing this, Yang Xiao hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, Zhao Min has been waiting for you for a long time."
Zhang Wuji said to Zhou Zhiruo and Yu Fei beside him: "Madams, I'm going to have a couple of drinks, you don't have to follow me."
Zhou Zhiruo said: "You should be careful. Although Zhao Min has never poisoned you, people's hearts are unpredictable. Her army of hundreds of thousands has been attacking Jinyang for a long time without success. It is inevitable that she will do something extreme."
Yu Fei also hurriedly said: "Young Master, Zhao Min must eat the food first. If she refuses to eat, there must be something fishy going on."
Zhang Wuji smiled and pinched Yu Fei's face: "Don't worry, your man knows what he is doing. But you also have to be prepared. Tonight, I will eat you up."
Yu Fei's cheeks turned red with shame in an instant: "Young Master, you are so bad. How can you say such words in a place like this?"
…
Zhang Wuji flew down from the top of the city wall, and a moment later, he came to Zhao Min's side.
Today, Zhao Min gave Zhang Wuji the feeling that she was not only incomparably beautiful, but also had a hint of irresistible majesty.
In front of her was a small table and two benches.
On the table, in addition to two pots of wine, there were actually some snacks.
Zhang Wuji said: "Miss Zhao, when we drank before, we always sat on the floor. Today you are so hospitable that I am still a little uncomfortable."
Zhao Min said: "In the past, when I went to drink with you, it was always sudden and neither you nor I were prepared."
"But I made an appointment with you for this dinner many days ago."
"If I don't do it properly, I'll make you a laughing stock."
Zhang Wuji said: "Miss Zhao treats me so kindly, how dare I make fun of you, but I always eat and drink your food, and I feel almost embarrassed."
Zhao Min smiled and said, "If you feel embarrassed, Master Zhang, how about giving Jinyang to me?"
Zhang Wuji quickly said: "This won't do. As for Jinyang, whether to attack or defend is up to me, but if we abandon the city, my words will not count."
Zhao Min laughed: "Look how scared you are. It's just a joke, why take it seriously?"
"I have been under the city of Jinyang for a month. Tens of thousands of people have been killed or injured, but I have not achieved any success."
"I have a terrible headache now."
"Mr. Zhang, how about giving me some advice?"
Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "Miss Zhao, you don't have a fever, do you?"
"Let me give you some advice. Nine out of ten times, the advice I give you is bad. Will you listen to me?"
Zhao Min smiled and said, "Whether I listen or not is my business. As for whether you want to tell me or not, it depends on your sincerity."
Zhao Min took the lead and picked up the pot of wine in front of Zhang Wuji. After taking a big gulp, she put it in front of Zhang Wuji again.
"Mr. Zhang, don't worry about eating and drinking. It's true that I want to kill you, but I won't go to the point of using such despicable means."
"What's more, with your level of cultivation, it would be more difficult to poison you than to beat you to death."
Zhang Wuji picked up the pot of wine with a smile and took a gulp.
Then he said to Zhao Min, "Miss Zhao, you just said you wanted to hear my advice."
"Then let me give you an idea now."
"The area outside the Great Wall is vast. It is where you Mongolians have lived for generations. Retreating to the grasslands outside the Great Wall may be your best outcome."
Zhao Min smiled and said, "Master Zhang, is this your idea?"
Zhang Wuji said: "Yes, this is my idea. I don't deny that you have amazing talent, but you were born at the wrong time."
"If you were born twenty years earlier, or even ten years earlier, you might have had a chance to turn the tide for the Yuan Dynasty."
"But it's too late now. The Yuan Empire has lost the support of the people. Even if you can destroy me, Zhu Yuanzhang in the south will definitely drive you back to the grassland."
"So, instead of retreating back to the grassland at that time, it is better to retreat now."
Zhao Min laughed: "Master Zhang, I once swore a solemn oath that in this life, even if I die, I will never retreat back to the grassland."
"I killed many people in order to rectify the administration of officials. If I stayed inside the Great Wall, I might be able to save my life. But if I really retreated to the grassland outside the Great Wall, I'm afraid that in a few years, I would be crushed to dust."
