Chapter 97 Do you like married women? (Happy New Year everyone!!!)
The atmosphere in the courtyard seemed a little depressing.
The gate had been kicked open, revealing a deep pit in front that had been melted away, and shining swords and knives were everywhere in the sunlight.
The battle has ended temporarily, but no one can say whether there will be more intense fighting.
Everyone finally had time to calm down and think carefully.
"Master Mo will never abandon us!"
The first person to speak was Xun Ke.
His eyes fell on Gu Dan and he spoke affirmatively in a firm tone.
It seemed that after seeing how Gu Dan treated Lin Xiaoyi, he was afraid that he would have another misunderstanding.
"I know." Gu Dan nodded.
He has known Mo Qiu for more than ten years, so he naturally understands what kind of person Mo Qiu is.
A saint on earth who was willing to risk his own life to save the people, to establish the Mohist school, and who would rather give up the chance to become an immortal in exchange for a peaceful life, could not fail to see the consequences of assassinating the emperor.
Before this incident, there was only one living person in the world who knew that he had been promoted to a martial arts master, and that person was Mo Qiu.
As for Mo Qiu's desire to kill Emperor Zong Ming, he must have gone through a very fierce ideological struggle. After all, the Mohist school had never broken the rules since its establishment, let alone something as shocking as directly killing the emperor.
The troubles facing the Dayue Dynasty are far from being solved by simply changing the emperor.
But - killing Emperor Zong Ming would force the imperial court to be paralyzed for a period of time, giving the people enough time. At least the people, who already have no means of livelihood, would not have to face encirclement and suppression by government soldiers at any time.
This was the worst possible move for the government, as no one had expected that the Four-Nation Alliance had already arrived at the country, and why would Emperor Zong Ming still be thinking about his 60th birthday? It was only natural that his birthday became his death anniversary!
As for the subsequent involvement, the encirclement and suppression by these imperial guards would not be a threat to Gu Dan, and Mo Qiu must have understood that. It couldn't be that Qin Lisheng was too good at forcing others to give up, so he planned to use the imperial guards to make him shut up forever, right?
As for why we were not notified in advance, it may be because of other reasons.
I can just ask about this kind of thing the next time we meet. What I have to consider now is the safety of the people around me.
"That woman, is she Prince Yu's princess?"
Qin Lisheng finally put down the broken stone lock in his hand and said dissatisfiedly: "How can we let her go like this? We should capture her on the spot, force her to tell us the whereabouts of Prince Yu, and then kill her!"
He didn't care about his life at all. He dared to join the Mohist School, so how could he not give up his life? If he could do one more good thing for the people of the world before he died, it would be a worthy death.
"Princess Lin came with good intentions. Although she is related to Prince Yu, how could she have such a dirty idea?" Xun Ke was furious. They were all taught by the same teacher, how could this bastard be so wicked! If such a despicable idea is really implemented, how is it different from the group of pigs in the temple? Can they do evil things unscrupulously with the idea of "I am doing good for the people of the world"?
Where is the morality? Where is the bottom line?!
"If you are still a brat and haven't even grown all your hair yet, stop talking."
Qin Lisheng glanced at Xun Ke and said coldly, "Looks like good intentions mean good intentions? How do you know she wasn't there when Prince Yu gave the order? When Master Buwu was desperately fighting, she came quite quickly. Do you really believe that she came after hearing the soldiers' report? Oh, right. When she was desperately rushing here, she didn't forget to order two soldiers to invite the imperial physician who has a close relationship with Mr. Gu. It doesn't matter if Mr. Gu loses, but if he wins, she can say that she was worried about him being captured. Finding a trustworthy person to treat such a meticulous mind, doesn't it make people suspicious? What, do you like married women?"
From the inside out, from the surface to the inside, the main theme of this speech is criticality and deep suspicion.
Qin Lisheng has never hesitated to assume the worst of the princes and nobles, so Lin Xiaoyi, who was involved with Prince Yu, naturally could not escape.
But the last sentence is already suspected of personal attack.
Ever since Xun Ke once accused him of stealing, Qin Lisheng would always throw some dirty water on him at the end of every argument with Xun Ke.
"You"
Xun Ke's face turned red with anger.
He was just a boy in his early teens, and even according to the customs of this world, it was not yet time for him to consider matters between men and women.
Although he was young and mature, how could he be a match for Qin Lisheng, who had experienced many ups and downs and was a reckless guy? It was difficult to fight with words.
After holding it in for a long while, Xun Ke angrily said, "When she ran over here, she even scratched her feet!"
"Yo~"
Qin Lisheng stretched out his exaggerated tone, staring at Xun Ke with his eyes wide open, and said in disbelief: "You don't care that you are surrounded by the imperial guards and might be hacked to death by them the next moment. Instead, you care about the beautiful foot of Princess Lin who is about to go to the harem? You don't really like married women, do you?!"
Xun Ke was stunned.
His face immediately turned a deep red, his fists were clenched tightly together, and his body was shaking with anger.
This is intolerable!
If I couldn't really beat him, I would have to fight Qin Lisheng to the death here today! "Uncle, Grandpa!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Just when the two were arguing fiercely, a clear and spiritual voice was heard, and a young girl came running over.
When he saw the little girl, Gu Dan was slightly stunned.
I almost thought it was Lin Xiaoyi from more than ten years ago who came back. She looked 80% similar.
"Xiaoying?"
A look of surprise appeared on Xu Zhian's face. The little girl who ran into the yard was the child of Prince Yu and Lin Xiaoyi.
But why is she here at this time?
"My mother told me to come and play with my uncle and grandpa!"
Xiaoying is very cheerful and lively, and is much braver than Lin Xiaoyi was back then. Although this is only her second meeting with Gu Dan, she does not seem unfamiliar at all.
She walked up to Gu Dan naturally and said seriously, "Uncle, you are so handsome! I heard from my mother that you two have known each other for a long time! How come you haven't visited Xiaoying?"
The corner of Gu Dan's mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes involuntarily moved away when facing hundreds of imperial guards without any avoidance. He swept his gaze around the courtyard and locked onto his target!
"Xun Ke, take Xiaoying to the house to play for a while!" Gu Dan ordered.
"Um?"
Xun Ke widened his eyes and looked at Gu Dan in disbelief.
Gu Dan said without question: "What are you looking at? Go!"
Two figures walked into the house.
Qin Lisheng did not forget to be sarcastic, "So it's my mother-in-law! No wonder I feel so sorry for her! Humph, she sent her own daughter here as a hostage to gain people's trust. She is so vicious and cruel, she must not be a good person!"
"You should also stop talking!"
Gu Dan was somewhat troubled. He didn't expect that after Lin Xiaoyi left, she would send her daughter to him.
