Zhang Wuji once again threatened Zhao Min with the 60,000 Yuan soldiers who had laid down their arms outside the city.
Zhao Min first glared at him coldly and said, "Zhang Wuji, you have risen from a small leader of the Ming Cult to your current position. You should have some political strategies to show for it. Threatening a woman who has already laid down her weapons is not the behavior of a local hero."
Zhang Wuji said: "This is not only not how a hero should behave, this is almost not how a man should behave. But I have no other way to deal with you."
"Now that things have come to this, I hope you will take care of yourself."
Zhao Min glared at Zhang Wuji coldly and said nothing more.
However, at this moment, Zhao Linger grabbed Zhou Zhiruo's hand and said, "Sister Zhiruo, let's go out and relax."
"Let the young master and Zhao Min talk alone."
Zhou Zhiruo glared at Zhao Linger fiercely: "Who is your sister? Stop being so self-indulgent here."
Zhou Zhiruo is a person who dares to take responsibility and can handle everything, but that is only when it comes to major issues. As for some small matters, her mind is still the same as that of an ordinary woman.
Even now, she still remembers the scene when Zhao Linger was about to hit her.
It was because of the wound on Zhang Wuji’s shoulder.
Zhao Linger didn't care about Zhou Zhiruo's cold words: "You little slut, come on, if you have the guts, come out with me. The young master is here, I feel embarrassed to hit you."
"If you have the guts, come out with me."
Zhou Zhiruo widened her eyes: "You still want to hit me? Okay, why? How have I offended you? Let's go, today I will fight to the death with you, an old woman."
…
Zhou Zhiruo fell into Zhao Linger's provocation. This was the only effective way to deal with a woman like her.
Zhang Wuji was very pleased with Zhao Linger's behavior. How could he not know that this was Zhao Linger giving him and Zhao Min a chance to be alone together.
After the two of them left, Zhang Wuji immediately sat next to Zhao Min and said, "Min'er, why are you doing this?"
Zhao Min sneered in response: "Coward, if your two wives were still alive, you had the courage to call me Min'er, I would admire your courage. But now there is no one around, if you call me like that again, I can only despise you."
Zhang Wuji said helplessly: "Just despise me, it's my fault for doing something wrong to you."
"When it comes to matters between men and women, it's best if both parties are willing, but I treat you...ah..."
Zhao Min still sneered: "Coward, do you have feelings for me?"
"Fortunately, you are considered a local tyrant. Although the women around you are a little annoying, at least they are all very beautiful. As for me,... you should forget about what happened that night."
Zhang Wuji smiled and shook his head: "I can't forget it, I can't forget it, and I don't want to forget it. It happened, it happened."
"Last night, Zhiruo came to pick a fight with you. It was her fault, but Zhiruo was the woman who had been with me from the very beginning. When you and I first met, Zhiruo was by my side. Over the years, she has been with me through thick and thin, life and death. So just now, I had to acquiesce to her actions, which was also to save her face."
"But now, it's just you and me, so I'll apologize to you on her behalf."
"I'm really sorry about what happened last night. I know you were badly injured. I'm sure you suffered a lot last night."
Zhao Min said: "I really wanted to die last night, but unfortunately, your Zhou Zhiruo did the same thing as you and refused to let me die no matter what."
"There were several times when I wanted to give up my life, but she pulled me back every time."
"However, this is no longer what I care about. What I want to know now is what happened between you and me and why you told Zhou Zhiruo."
"Last night, when I was dying, Zhou Zhiruo just said these words in my ear, and it made me so angry that I came back to life."
"Zhou Zhiruo said that I seduced you and that I used my body to save a life."
"What happened that day was obviously not my own will. It's okay to insult my personality, but why do you also insult my innocence? It was obviously you who forced yourself on me, but you told Zhou Zhiruo that I took the initiative. You're going too far."
After hearing this, Zhang Wuji frowned and said, "Min'er, Zhiruo lied. She is a very sensitive person. On the day we parted, she was the first one to jump into my arms after I returned to Daxing City."
"When she was in Dadu, she once covered herself with the quilt you used, so she could smell your scent right away."
"So, I told her the truth that night. The only thing I hid from her was that I really had some feelings for you."
"As for Zhiruo saying that you used your body to exchange for my life, it was just to humiliate you."
"Don't mind it."
Zhao Min just felt speechless: "You really told her everything."
Zhang Wuji's cheeks also turned red: "What can I do? I never lie to my women."
"The same goes for you. If you dare to commit suicide again next time, I'm afraid I will really take action against those soldiers outside your city."
"They have followed you for many years. I think you don't want to see them suffer."
…
Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min talked a lot with their hearts open. None of the words were meant to humiliate Zhao Min. Although Zhao Min heard some sincerity, she was mostly angry. She was angry that Zhang Wuji threatened her with the lives of the soldiers outside the city. What was even more angry was that he told Zhou Zhiruo what had happened between them. How would she feel when she met Zhou Zhiruo again in the future?
On the other side, when Zhou Zhiruo was dragged out of the room by Zhao Linger, she said to her angrily: "Old woman, do you want to fight? I will accompany you today. I want to see what kind of harm you dare to do to me."
Zhao Linger smiled and said, "Okay, my sister Zhiruo, if I hadn't said that just now, why would you come out with me?"
"Zhao Min is indeed stronger than us. Even though she is no longer the same as before, her spirit is still there. If you and I were still by the young master's side, the relationship between the two of them would only become more awkward. Instead of that, it would be better for us to come out and talk."
"It just so happens that I have something else I want to ask you."
Zhou Zhiruo said disdainfully: "Old woman, I remember a few days ago, you seemed to want to beat me. If Zhang Wuji hadn't stopped you, and if that girl Zhu'er hadn't happened to break in, I'm afraid I would have been beaten."
"I remember everything that happened that day clearly."
