Chapter 192 Why do I still feel ashamed?
Ever since Mr. Li knew that Wen Ling was the famous Master Ling in the capital, he no longer dared to look down on Wen Ling. When he heard what Wen Ling said, a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.
Because before Wen Ling said this, he had some resentment in his heart.
It was obvious that he was only one step away from proving whether the North Mountain was hollow. If he could be the first person to make this discovery, his name would probably be recorded in the history of Dayong.
But he had to wait for Wen Ling to take the final step, so he felt resentful.
But now hearing Wen Ling say this, he felt scared. Fortunately, he did not excavate to the end on his own initiative.
Otherwise, if you get unlucky or get sick, it would be a waste of time.
Wen Ling added: "I will set up a magic circle at the entrance of the cave to seal off all the aura inside and prevent it from spilling out and affecting the people outside.
So now, please, Mr. Li, go out and organize the imperial guards to clear out all the people who are still in the cave, and then you can get out by yourselves.
Remember, no one should be left behind, otherwise I might be too busy dealing with the things in the cave to guarantee their safety.
After you make sure that all the people in the cave are gone, you will personally light a red flare in the cave to alert me, and then I will finally break through this stone wall. ”
Although Mr. Li was rude and prejudiced towards people at the beginning, he was still very reliable when it came to doing things seriously.
He immediately agreed: "Yes, I will go and evacuate the people in the cave now."
Gordon immediately asked, "Princess Chen, can I stay? What if the cave is really big? Wouldn't it be inconvenient for you to go in alone? You might need someone to hold a torch for you. I am smart and will act according to circumstances. I will definitely not hold you back!"
Wen Ling thought about it and felt that Gordon was indeed a smart man. If there was any situation inside that needed to be reported out first, Gordon could be sent out and she could continue tracking.
She nodded: "Okay, then you will follow me in a moment. Don't act without my order. If anything goes wrong, run as soon as I tell you to. Don't delay!"
"Good!" Gordon was glad he could stay.
As for what he would run away first when encountering danger, that is of course impossible.
If he encounters danger, he will protect Wen Ling's safety even at the cost of his own life.
He cherished his life before because he wanted to avenge his family who were wrongly killed.
After he became a eunuch trusted by the emperor, this matter was inadvertently presented to the emperor through his manipulation.
This made the emperor suspicious, which led to an in-depth investigation. He provided crucial evidence behind the scenes and was completely vindicated a few days ago.
The emperor issued an edict to severely punish the Sima of Qingzhou who framed his family.
The fate of Sima's family in Qingzhou was even worse than his family's. The head of the family was beheaded on a chosen day, all the men were demoted to slavery and sent to work as laborers in extremely cold places, escaping death by the skin of their teeth, and all the women were made into military prostitutes and music prostitutes.
The only difference is that the Sima family deserved the punishment for their local tyranny, while the Gordon family was wrongly accused.
Gordon completed the revenge he wanted most. The belief that supported others to survive was fulfilled in an instant, which made him suddenly feel a little empty.
He originally thought that this would be a very difficult task, and it might take him ten or twenty years to accomplish.
I didn't expect that after having power, this would be just a small thing that could be accomplished with just a little effort.
This made his life suddenly lose its focus. This kind of life of being a slave and being nervous every day competing for favor and power in front of the emperor was not what he wanted in the first place.
It was at this time that he heard about Wen Ling again, and then he found the direction of his future life, which was to repay Wen Ling.
If he could do more to help Wen Ling, he would use his position to do more.
The most important thing is that the next period will be the most important critical period for the prince to compete for the throne.
Wen Ling is the wife of Prince Chen, so it would be most beneficial for Wen Ling if Prince Chen finally took the throne. She could stay by the emperor's side, provide Prince Chen with more information, do more things, and ensure that Gu Chenran could finally sit securely on the top position.
Moreover, in this way, he helped Gu Chenran do so many things, and actually gained more leverage over Gu Chenran from the side.
After Gu Chenran becomes emperor and Wen Ling becomes queen and moves into the East Palace, he can be transferred to Wen Ling's side and become Wen Ling's most capable eunuch, assisting Wen Ling in managing the harem so that she doesn't have to be so tired and still has plenty of time to do what she likes.
Besides, men's hearts are fickle. Gu Chenran still needs Wen Ling's help now, so he seems to be nice to Wen Ling. But what if he changes his mind after becoming emperor?
An emperor is destined to have three palaces and six courtyards. No matter how outstanding Wen Ling is, she may not be able to compare with the novelty.
It would be fine if Gu Chenran remained consistently good to Wen Ling, but if he dared to let Wen Ling down and do something to favor other concubines and neglect Wen Ling.
Then he has the evidence of various things that happened before Gu Chenran came to power as a threat, and Gu Chenran will have to be consistently good to Wen Ling whether he likes it or not.
He must do his best to ensure that Wen Ling will never have to worry about the things that an ordinary woman might worry about for the rest of her life.
Wen Ling just wants to be the brightest, clearest and cleanest moon in the sky.
Let’s leave all the rest to this imperfect man who is already muddy and messy!
Wen Ling had no idea that Gordon was such an avid fan of hers, and she had no idea that Gordon had "arranged" the rest of her life without saying a word.
When she saw Gordon nodded in agreement, combined with all of Gordon's previous behavior, she just thought he was a normal and reliable person.
Wen Ling rummaged through her small bag and pulled out a bunch of odds and ends and handed them to Gordon.
"This is a protective amulet. Keep it close to you. Ordinary evil spirits can't hurt you. This is a tracking amulet. With it, I can locate you at any time. You won't get lost. If you get lost, find a safe place and wait for me. I will definitely come back to find you.
This is a fire talisman, which contains a trace of my spiritual power. I just developed it, and ordinary people can use it. If an evil spirit breaks through the amulet to attack you, you just need to point this fire talisman at it and shout "Spirit Master, grant me strength", then you can spray fire to attack the evil spirit! ”
Gordon had already prepared to die for Wen Ling at any time, but when faced with this mantra, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably: "Why... why is this the mantra?"
Why did he feel such an inexplicable sense of shame?
