This "him" Gu Qiancheng knew who he was talking about without even thinking about it.
Gu Qiancheng didn't know why Jing Yan suddenly mentioned His Highness Qin. He paused, looked sideways at Jing Yan, and said in confusion: "Do you think I need him to save me?"
"Don't you need it?" Jing Yan also imitated Gu Qiancheng and tilted his head. He looked innocent and cute, and his calm and peaceful eyes were like those of a child, which made people's hearts shrink suddenly.
Gu Qiancheng was a little uncomfortable. He averted his eyes in embarrassment, lowered his head and walked forward, saying casually: "Of course it's not necessary. I really want him to save me. I'm not in danger, am I?"
"Yes, you are not in danger here." Jing Yan followed Gu Qiancheng, always keeping half a step away from her.
Compared to walking side by side without seeing anyone, he preferred walking behind Gu Qiancheng so that he could always look at her...
"So, what do I want him to save?" Gu Qiancheng still lowered his head and his voice was not loud, but she knew Jing Yan could hear it.
"But... he has come to save you, and he is still alone. What should I do?" Jing Yan looked embarrassed, which made Gu Qiancheng couldn't help laughing, "Are you afraid?"
"Why am I not afraid? Do you really think that I can cover the sky with one hand and become king in Jiangnan?" Jing Yan said very seriously, and this is also true.
You can't do this kind of thing for a while, but you can't do it for a lifetime. He was able to grab these few months thanks to the old emperor's willfulness. If the old emperor hadn't been too confident and trusted his so-called confidants, things would not have happened.
It won't be that simple.
"But you have a way out, don't you?" Although she was trapped in Jingyuan and didn't know anything, Gu Qiancheng was not a dead person. How could she not know what other people in Jingyuan were doing.
Jing Yan's people are preparing to evacuate.
It's logical to think that... even if Jing Yan takes advantage of the 150,000 troops stationed in the south of the Yangtze River to become king, with the few troops and horses he has, it is impossible to fight against the imperial court.
Maybe the imperial court can't do anything to Jing Yan now, but once the northwest war ends, the army on the northwest front will immediately attack Jiangnan and won't let Jing Yan be arrogant for too long.
Rather than start a fight with Da Qin now, it is better to take advantage of the chaos to retreat to a remote area and accumulate strength.
"You are so smart, how can I let you go?" Jing Yan sighed, seeming to be deeply reluctant to let go.
Gu Qiancheng was not at all complacent about being praised, "Compared with Master Jing, my little cleverness is nothing. Master Jing had laid out the plan long ago, and I only understood it after the fact. How can it be considered clever?"
"The most stupid person in the world is not a fool, but a self-righteous smart person. Who are you if you are so sober and not a smart person?" Jing Yan turned around and praised Gu Qiancheng, making Gu Qiancheng laugh, "I want to be real
You're smart, Master Jingzhuang, you should have a headache." If she was really smart and ran out, or spread the news, she wouldn't be able to stay here peacefully.
"A smart person is someone who knows how much he weighs. You...did a great job." Gu Qiancheng remained motionless and did nothing, which was actually more effective than doing it.
Didn't Qin Jiyan discover the abnormality in Jiangnan just because she didn't do anything?
"Thank you Master Jingzhuang for the compliment. I'll take note of it." Gu Qiancheng turned around and bowed to Jingyan in a semblance of a manner. His actions were funny and cute. Jingyan shook his head at the sight: "You look like this, and the one you raised is different."
A mink is very similar."
Gu Qiancheng stopped his hand and said indifferently: "Really? He said the same."
Jing Yan knew very well who this "he" was referring to, and because he knew it, he was very unhappy. However, Gu Qiancheng didn't care at all, and pointed to the road on the left, "Master Jingzhuang, my residence is here, I'll go back first."
Already."
Before Jing Yan could say no, Gu Qiancheng left...
"You are always so smart and refuse to give me any chance." Jing Yan stood there, watching Gu Qiancheng's figure gradually disappearing into the darkness, not knowing whether he should be sad or grateful.
Gu Qiancheng is too smart and too rational. Once she discovers other people's feelings for her, she will unconsciously distance herself from the other person without giving others a chance.
It's cruel, but at the same time it's also a kind of kindness. If there is no chance in the beginning, you won't fall too deep for her, and it won't be too painful to get out.
Such a woman really makes people hate and love her, and the man who gets her wholehearted love makes people even more jealous.
Just as Jing Yan thought, Gu Qiancheng left suddenly because she discovered something strange about Jing Yan, and she specifically mentioned Qin Jiyan and left suddenly because she was telling Jing Yan her choice.
She believed that Jing Yan was a smart man and would understand what she meant. Of course, it didn't matter if Jing Yan just didn't understand. She didn't mind rejecting Jing Yan in person.
It is better to refuse face to face than to be ambiguous and end up hurting others and yourself.
Gu Qiancheng returned to the room and after taking a bath, she sent the maid who served her. More than a month was enough for the maid to understand some of Gu Qiancheng's habits. For example, Gu Qiancheng did not need anyone to keep vigil at night and slept alone at night.
It had been more than a month, and no accident had happened. The maid knew that Gu Qiancheng would not leave at night, so she left simply.
Dragging his wet long hair, Gu Qiancheng held a large towel in front of the bronze mirror, wiping it repeatedly while thinking about what Jing Yan had said before.
Qin Jiyan came, and he came to Jiangnan alone.
"Knowing that there is something abnormal in Jiangnan, don't you know how to bring troops?" Gu Qiancheng couldn't help but sigh.
Although she didn't know the situation outside, she also knew that it would be dangerous for Qin Jiyan to come to Jiangnan alone. But she didn't have freedom now. Even if Qin Jiyan was in danger, what could she do?
Taking a deep breath, Gu Qiancheng wiped his hair dry, then picked up the book, sat on the bedside and started reading. Half an hour later, he got up and turned off the lights, preparing to go to bed, but...
Just as she blew out the candles and turned around, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
"What..." Gu Qiancheng yelled instinctively, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his mouth was blocked, "It's me, don't make any sound."
The sound passed by his ears, and through the moonlight outside the window, Gu Qiancheng saw the person clearly and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Pulling the other party's hand away, Gu Qiancheng lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness? Why are you here?"
This person was so careless that Jing Yan only told him that Qin Jiyan had arrived in Jiangnan in the evening. As a result, he came over in the evening. This was really very efficient.
"Can you come? You've been in Jiangnan for a month and there's been no news. Do you really know if something happened to you?" Qin Jiyan hugged Gu Qiancheng and held him tightly in his arms to calm down.
The worries in my heart.
He should know that Jing Yan would not harm Gu Qiancheng, but...
He couldn't feel at ease until he saw that Gu Qiancheng was safe and sound.
"Do you know how worried I am? You are such a heartless person and you don't even know how to send me a message." At least she let him know that she was at ease, and he could be less worried. But along the way, Gu Qiancheng even
There is no news at all, which is really worrying.
