Wu Yan planned to first send Gu Chen to study in Huangling Chengtang for three years, and then ask Wu Zhen to assist him in the name of taking care of Gu Chen, thus ensuring that his sister would stay away from the risks of mirages and ghost rock species. Such tortuous arrangements were obviously wasteful.
It has put a lot of thought into the female headmaster's thoughts, but if the key female secretary doesn't nod, there will be no need to discuss the matter at all.
After having a serious talk with Wu Yan yesterday, Gu Chen roughly understood the thoughts of the female leader in charge. Although he himself lacked interest in the royal leader's study tour, if he brought along the meaning of the female secretary's refuge, it was not without room for consideration. Therefore.
Gu Chencai accepted the order from the female headmaster and came to Changxia Palace to ask Wu Zhen's opinion.
As for how to convey this absurd-sounding idea in an orderly manner and ensure that the female secretary can truly understand it, it really troubled Gu Chen a lot. At this moment, in the reception room of Changxia Palace, Gu Chen set out from the mirage threat
, talking about the suggestion of going on a study tour in the Royal Territory, and also talking about situations where you may need help if you are not familiar with the atmosphere in the Imperial Territory, it took most of the time, and my mouth was dry.
Wu Zhen listened attentively at first, but as the topic progressed to study tours and dispatches, he even showed an expression of surprise. For a female secretary who is known as a talented and beautiful woman, she had to guess her sister's arrangement.
The true meaning behind the scenes is not difficult, which can be seen from her expression that quickly turned stiff.
Of course, even so, Gu Chen still had to push the topic to the end.
"...That's how it is, Wu Sishu, what do you think?"
"Thank you for your kindness, sir. Please forgive me for refusing."
The unsurprising words of rejection came from the female secretary's mouth, and the particularly blunt tone contained intense emotions that had never been seen before. For Gu Chen, who had never seen such a female secretary, he was quite shocked.
Surprised.
"I, the Wu family, have been pioneering and operating in Liyang since the founding of the dynasty, and the legacy has been passed down for thirty-seven generations to this day. I am also the daughter of the Wu family. When my father and sister sacrificed their lives to fight against powerful enemies, I hid alone in the rear. If my ancestors were here,
If you know better, I'm afraid you will be angry and lamenting, right? Although I am really stupid, I do such a thing that is humiliating to my family."
Should it be said that he is worthy of inheriting the heroic bloodline of the Wu family? There is a scalding heat in the words of the female clerk. It feels like pressing down the lid of the lava lake with her will, which makes Gu Chen can't help but stand in awe. Because of this,
He also had more things to confirm.
"I understand Wu Sishu's thoughts. But the current situation is quite serious. If you stay, there is a high probability that you will face off against the ghost rock species. Doesn't that matter?"
The "ghost rock species" that Gu Chen deliberately mentioned are the great desolate monsters that continue to plague Liyang. Although the Wu family has suffered from ghost rock species in all generations, the situation of the female secretary is even more serious. His younger brother Wu Shang is
He was killed by Gui Yanzhong, and his father Li Yanggong was fighting to the death with Gui Yanzhong on the front line. According to the female leader, someone to whom she had devoted her feelings was also involved with Gui Yanzhong.
Staying means having to face the fearful inner demons countless times in the future. Gu Chen clearly exposed this.
When the female secretary heard the name of fear, her body trembled violently, but then she raised her head resolutely.
"Wu Zhen is not talented and is willing to face national calamity."
The female secretary who asserted this was not without fear.
His shoulders were trembling and his eyes were filled with tears. Even so, he still insisted on staying and fighting for the national crisis. That proud and stubborn posture had a completely different charm from his usual elegant and dignified appearance. Gu Chen was dazzled and couldn't help but
Recalling another woman I met before——
Contrary to the resolute consciousness shown by the virtuous lady secretary, another daughter of the Wu family, who is famous for her outstanding female prowess and rules the kingdoms under her command with an iron fist, showed her expression when she asked him to persuade her sister yesterday.
He has a frail appearance that would never be seen in ordinary times.
The turmoil caused by the death of the third young master a few years ago caused Liyang's country to decline sharply. Since then, Wu Yan has devoted himself to the government affairs of the country. Even though he was doing this, he still tried his best to plan for his sister's happiness. This kind of friendship moved Gu Chen and he couldn't help but move it.
Feeling pity.
One is the governor, the other is the commoner.
Although at that time Gu Chen had doubted whether he had any pity for the female leader in charge of the office, but at this moment, seeing the stubborn appearance of the female secretary, complex emotions similar to those when she was in charge of the office welled up in his heart again. Two emotions
It is entangled in my heart like boiling water poured into a brazier, and in the turbulent emotional turmoil, some things that can be grasped vaguely surface.
Gu Chen frowned, focused his attention on the thing emerging from the turbid current, and used all his strength to pull it out. The emotional flow full of passion and turbulence is difficult to describe in words, Gu Chen
After struggling with my brains, I finally found some concept that could materialize it.
"The imprisoned princess..."
Gu Chen muttered to himself. In myths and legends on the earth side, there is often a paradigm where a princess is imprisoned by an evil dragon in a tower of thorns, waiting for warriors to rescue her.
Of course, both the female secretary and the female head are masters with both charm and coercion, and they are not at all similar to those fragile princesses on the earth side waiting for rescue in the tower. However, if the ghost rock that caused the current predicament of Liyang Territory is
This and the associated mirages and other disasters are regarded as abstract concepts of "evil dragons", and it does indeed use its cruel methods to imprison the sisters in a miserable fate that they cannot escape from -
As long as the scourge of the ghost rock species continues, Li Yanggong will not be able to escape from the flames of war on the front line.
If Duke Li Yang does not return for a day, Wu Yan will be trapped in the heavy burden that comes with his position as governor.
After his father and sister were kidnapped to death, Wu Yan was bound to devote himself to supporting the family business and could not pursue his own happiness.
Such a heavy knot tightly bound the Wu sisters, dragging them towards the abyss where there is no hope. Wu Yan's idea of sending Gu Chen to study in the emperor's territory was actually the desire of the female governor to break free.
Fate's desperate and desperate blow, but in the end, it was still blocked by the malice of fate.
After understanding this level, Gu Chen could finally face his own outpouring of pity calmly.
Both the governor Wu Yan and the secretary Wu Zhen were outstanding women who had Gu Chen's affection and respect. It was precisely because of this that Gu Chen had deep sympathy for the fact that they were imprisoned by a cruel fate.
There is no doubt about this.
It's just that Gu Chen can't confirm what role he should play in the fate of the two sisters? Is he a passerby who meets by chance and drifts away? Or is he a traveler who silently accompanies and comforts them? Or...
Gu Chen trembled subconsciously.
In most cases, Gu Chen is cautious and self-aware. However, the thoughts coming out of his mind at this moment have nothing to do with the above two characteristics. That thought, which can be called extremely arrogant and ignorant, makes Gu Chen
Chen clasped his hands tightly, feeling that his abdomen was getting hot as if on fire, and his breathing became rapid.
Gu Chen gritted his teeth and tried his best to force out the thoughts that kept shrinking.
Or, become a warrior who slays the dragon and frees the sisters from their cruel fate?
