"If the prince insists on going, then we can only kneel down and stay here forever."
I don't know who started it, but the others followed suit and knelt down.
Observing the determination in his eyes, Wen Jingchi let out a long sigh.
Now he has reached the point where he is caught between a rock and a hard place.
He knew what these people were thinking and understood their loyalty, so he helped Zuo Tianlin and the others up from the ground.
"Now that we have the weapons, you can all win with the help of them. Chu Weiyue is my concubine. How can I abandon her and go away alone before the disaster?
I know I can ambush them in advance, but even if those people don't harm her life, they will inevitably cause her other harm, so I must go."
"This is the responsible behavior of a man. Don't stop me. If something happens to me, you must win this battle. This is what you should do most. I should save my woman by myself."
These impassioned words moved his men deeply, but they were more worried that something might happen to Wen Jingchi.
But Wen Jingchi has made his decision, and no one can stop him.
at the same time.
Chu Weiyue slowly opened her eyes and found herself in a dim room that looked like an underground prison.
There are all kinds of beddings inside. Although the environment is simple, the things used are not too bad.
As a prisoner, was she treated well?
Thinking of what had happened, he snorted in dissatisfaction.
These people are so cunning and sinister that they actually used such means on her.
I was still thinking about whether I could escape, but when I reached the gate, two people immediately came out from the corner and glared at Chu Weiyue ferociously.
"cut."
Chu Weiyue rolled her eyes, ignored the two minions, and lay down on the bed again.
But the two of them were unwilling to let Chu Weiyue go, and kicked the iron gate hard.
"Now that you're awake, stay here and be quiet. When someone comes to question you, answer whatever they ask you. Otherwise, I will rape and kill you."
He held the sword and yelled at Chu Weiyue, showing off his might for a while before turning around and leaving.
The other man held a precious sword and stared at Chu Weiyue fiercely, like a man-eating beast.
Chu Weiyue yawned and continued to lie on the bed, not taking them seriously at all.
She was extremely sleepy now and just wanted to have a good sleep.
I slept for half an hour in a daze, and opened my eyes when I heard a noise. It was a handsome man.
Smelling his scent, his height, appearance, etc., Chu Weiyue curled her lips slightly.
"If I'm guessing correctly, you're the one pretending to be my husband."
At first glance, he does look somewhat similar to Wen Jingchi, except for their height and facial contours, while their facial features are completely different.
But he is still a handsome man, it's just that Wen Jingchi is too stunning and most people can't compare to him.
"I hope you are well."
He was exposed as soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was exactly the same as the last time.
There were wounds on his hands caused by Chu Weiyue's bite, which had now been bandaged and applied with medicine.
Chu Weiyue snorted in dissatisfaction: "Tell me, what do you want to ask me?"
"Did you do the weapon improvement?"
He did not hide anything and asked directly.
Chu Weiyue nodded without hesitation: "Yes, that's exactly what I did. If you want to find out the truth, I advise you not to waste your breath."
Chu Weiyue turned her head away and acted stubborn.
The man just smiled grimly and sat beside her bed.
"Which man wouldn't want such a beautiful and talented woman? How about you marry me?"
"Can you find a mirror? Look at yourself. How are you better than Wen Jingchi? I don't want to marry you."
Chu Weiyue knew very well that since he dared to ask this question, it meant that he must be interested in arms.
Even if she spoke harshly and acted stubbornly, they didn't dare to do anything to her.
She was also making a guess, and seeing that the man was not angry, she knew that she was right.
"I was wrong last time. I shouldn't have brought the girl here in such a despicable way. I apologize to you here. I also admire your talent, so I did this. Our leader is also paying attention to you. You might as well stay with us. Our leader said that he can give you a position as a national teacher."
"Your court cannot appoint a woman as the Imperial Master. If you stay here, you will be second only to the emperor. What's wrong with that?
If you want a handsome man, we have plenty of him in Wateng, you can pick any one you want, and you can have three wives and four concubines like a man, which is much more comfortable than your life in the Central Plains..."
He seemed to know how to win people's hearts, and everything he said was what Chu Weiyue liked to hear.
Chu Weiyue was somewhat moved by what he said and couldn't help but click his tongue a few times.
"Your words are really touching. It seems that you have understood me thoroughly."
Otherwise, they would not say such confusing words.
If it weren't for Wen Jingchi and if I had no other concerns, I would definitely agree without hesitation.
Which woman doesn't want to live a life of debauchery like a man, with money and power?
But unfortunately, Wen Jingchi is the only one in her heart.
Apart from him, no matter how much gold, silver, jewelry, or handsome a person is, he would not be interested in them.
But she knew very well that she had become a prisoner and there was no reason for her to refuse.
Pretending to widen his eyes, he said, "Are you telling the truth? As far as I know, there is no precedent of women serving as officials in your Wateng clan, right?"
"Since your leader dares to make such a promise, is he sure he can do it? Even if he agrees, his officials will oppose it. How can they be willing to let me put pressure on them..."
Chu Weiyue sneered at his conditions and laughed contemptuously.
"Don't worry, young lady. Our leader keeps his word. He even wrote a letter of commitment himself. Besides, young lady, you can use munitions in such a field. Who can disobey you?"
He handed a letter to Chu Weiyue with a seal on it.
With this letter, it is equivalent to an imperial edict.
Although their Waten tribe is somewhat different from the people in the Central Plains, they are also very cautious about this kind of decree.
Chu Weiyue sighed in her heart, it seems that her arms have become a battleground!
In the final analysis, what they are interested in is nothing more than arms.
"Let me think about it again. This happened so suddenly. If I cooperate with you, what will happen to Wen Jingchi? After all, he is my future husband. I have been with him before. Once we are married, we are bound by love for each other for a hundred days. I really can't let go..."
The man nodded in understanding.
"I know that you women value your first man very much, but you can also ask Wen Jingchi to come with us. He will probably die in the court. Your court has no room for him at all."
