Chapter 473 Grant Her Wish
Qin Jinzhi frowned as she watched the man's figure and quickly stepped forward.
"Gongshu, stop!"
Gongshu Zhi turned around upon hearing Qin Jinzhi's voice and immediately shouted, "You brat! What Gongshu Zhi? You have to call me Uncle!"
Qin Jinzhi's face showed a hint of anger. "Why are you here!"
Gongshu Zhi looked aside, scratched his face, and then said, "Adult matters are none of a child's business!"
Qin Jinzhi grabbed Gongshu Zhi's wrist and dragged him out of the military camp.
Gongshu Zhi kept crying out in pain.
"You little brat, let me go right now! I'm practically your father, give me some face!"
Gongshu Zhi struggled to break free from Qin Jinzhi's grasp.
"That brat has a pretty strong grip."
Qin Jinzhi looked at Gongshu Zhi and said, "Go back to Henan! This is not a place for you!"
Gongshu Zhi put his hands on his hips and said, "In this world, how can a daughter control her father? I have no choice but to stay in this military camp!"
Qin Jinzhi shouted, "Men, prepare the horses and take him back to Henan!"
Gongshu Zhi quickly pointed at the soldiers who had come to obey his orders and said, "I am a marching officer personally appointed by your marshal! Don't lay a hand on me!"
The soldiers immediately looked at Qin Jinzhi.
After hearing this, Qin Jinzhi turned around and walked towards Qin Ye's tent.
Gongshu Zhi quickly said to the soldiers, "It was just a small misunderstanding, let's disperse."
After saying that, he hurriedly went to chase after Qin Jinzhi.
That menacing figure looked like it wanted to devour someone.
Qin Jinzhi arrived at Qin Ye's camp.
Qin Ye had just finished explaining the marching plan.
"Why didn't you go to rest?"
Qin Jinzhi frowned and asked, "Did you summon Gongshu Zhi to the military camp?"
Qin Ye waved his hands repeatedly, "It wasn't me."
Gongshu Zhi appeared before the camp, panting heavily.
That brat walks really fast.
He walked in with his hands on his hips.
He took out a bright yellow scroll from his pocket.
Gongshu Zhi handed her the scroll, saying with a smug look on his face, "Military Commander, appointed personally by His Majesty, does Vanguard Qin dare to disobey the imperial decree?"
Qin Jinzhi looked at the imperial edict but did not accept it.
"The Mohist and Gongshu families have ancestral rules that their descendants cannot enter the court or marry officials or members of the royal family. Those who violate these rules will be expelled from the family. Aunt Ziyuan has been waiting for you for ten years."
Gongshu Zhi straightened up after hearing this.
Just as Qin Jinzhi turned to leave, she said:
"So, you have to take care of me and your aunt in our old age. And when Chu is defeated and the dynasty returns, you have to buy us a big house!"
Qin Jinzhi looked at Gongshu Zhi as if she had seen a ghost.
Gongshu Zhi said with a smug look, "My wife said that the national war is a big deal. Besides, with our daughter on the battlefield, I can't just sit idly by."
Qin Jinzhi frowned and turned to look at Gongshuzhi, "You married Aunt Ziyuan?"
His voice came through in a sly tone, "She's so infatuated, of course I'll grant her wish."
That day, Qin Jinzhi sent men to escort Gongshu Zhi to Henan.
Before setting off, he went to Qin Ye's courtyard.
Qin Ye said seriously after hearing Gongshu Zhi's words, "You and Ziyi are as close as brothers. I know you want to protect Jinzhi, but this is a responsibility that my Qin family should bear. If Ziyi were still alive, he would not agree to you doing this."
Gongshu Zhi shook his head.
"Uncle Qin, if I could have developed mechanical beasts twenty years ago, I would have done so."
I hid away for ten years not because I lost to Ziyuan, but because I couldn't get over that hurdle in my heart. It was only ten years after Ziyi's death that I developed this mechanical beast.
Everyone says I'm a genius. When I was young, I always thought my talent was unparalleled. But when my brother went to the battlefield, I, this damn genius, couldn't protect him.
If I had been able to develop mechanical beasts twenty years ago, even if I couldn't help Ziyi break through the encirclement, I could have kept him going until reinforcements arrived. Why did he die a tragic death on the battlefield?
Now that his father and his son have gone to the battlefield again, how can I stand idly by!
Qin Ye looked at Gongshu Zhi, "But you will be expelled from the family."
Gongshu Zhi smiled and said, "In Chengdu Prefecture, I already told my brother that although I was expelled from the family, he supported me, so he beat me half to death. Now my name is no longer on the Gongshu family's ancestral register."
Qin Ye patted his shoulder with his large hand. "I thank you on behalf of Ziyi."
Gongshu Zhi smiled and said, "I will go to the battlefield after I have explained things to Ziyuan. There is no reason for me to stay at home and enjoy myself if my daughter is not going to the battlefield."
After saying this, he bid farewell to Qin Ye and headed to Henan.
Qin Jinzhi was quite pleased when she heard that Gongshu Zhi was rushing to Henan.
After Gongshu Zhi arrived at the Mo family, the Mo family members disliked him very much.
Although the two families had some conflicts, Gongshu Zhi had made Mo Ziyuan wait for so many years.
He's not like a man at all.
When the betrothal gifts were carried into the Mo family's residence, the Mo family members were all somewhat astonished.
Gongshu Zhi disappeared for ten years. Could he have gone to make money?
The betrothal gifts are far too generous.
The current head of the Mo family is Mo Ziqian, the elder brother of Mo Ziyuan.
He looked at Gongshu Zhi, whose face was dark.
Gongshu Zhi was left out in the cold for a long time.
Mo Ziqian said coldly, "You disappeared without a word ten years ago, and now you want to marry Ziyuan as soon as you reappear. What, does everyone in the world want to revolve around you, Young Master Gongshu?"
Gongshu Zhi stood up and bowed ninety degrees in respect.
“Brother Mo, I was wrong these past ten years. I was dwelling on the past and I have let Ziyuan down. I have come here today to have a talk with Ziyuan.”
Mo Ziqian frowned upon hearing his words. "What do you mean, 'explain'? Ziyuan is my younger sister. Our parents are no longer here, so naturally, I, as her older brother, will be in charge of her affairs. What is it? Tell me."
Gongshu Zhi shook his head. "Brother Mo, I must say this to Ziyuan in person."
Mo Ziqian immediately slammed his hand on the table, "Gongshu Zhi, aren't you pushing your luck! You're still trying to deceive Ziyuan!"
"Brother."
Just as Mo Ziqian was about to explode in anger, Mo Ziyuan walked in from outside.
"Brother, don't be angry. I know what he's going to say."
Mo Ziqian quickly stood up. "Ziyuan, you can't make a mistake."
Mo Ziyuan gave Mo Ziqian a reassuring look.
Then he turned to Gongshu Zhi and said, "You didn't come here to propose marriage."
Gongshu Zhi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.
Mo Ziqian immediately smashed the teacup on Gongshu Zhi's head.
"Gongshu Zhi! How dare you humiliate Ziyuan like this!"
Gongshu Zhi did not dodge, and blood flowed from his head.
Mo Ziyuan looked at Gongshu Zhi and said, "You are going to the battlefield."
Gongshu Zhi walked up to Mo Ziyuan.
"I've lived these past ten years in a daze. I've not been a good lover to you, a good elder to Jinzhi, or a good brother to my elder brother."
I will only love you for the rest of my life. Ten years have been a betrayal of me, but I must go to this battlefield. I cannot let Ziyi's last child die on the battlefield.
Gongshu Zhi smiled and took out the book of betrothal gifts from his bosom.
"This is the betrothal gift that Jinzhi prepared for me. I have dreamed countless times over the past ten years of marrying you and having children around me. I really want to marry you, but I can't hurt you."
Consider this betrothal gift my guarantee to you. If you find a good husband, consider it an addition to your dowry; if not, consider it a personal gift. The battlefield is dangerous, and I cannot keep you waiting any longer.”
