Seeing his expression, Zhu Xiu felt a little tired.
What evil had he done to end up with all these newcomers that he couldn't take care of?
As expected, he lived in the same courtyard as Qin Wu, and his lack of expression was evident.
"Follow me farther away. It's not appropriate to be close." If you try to be more tactful, the other party may not be able to understand him, so he'd better explain his request directly.
Yunliu's brows were so frowned that he could kill a fly.
It wouldn’t be appropriate to follow him farther away!
Seeing that he opened his mouth as if to refute, Zhu Xiuruo looked pointedly at Xiao Qi, who was not far away, looking up at the moon leisurely.
The meaning is obvious.
——If you don’t have good understanding, why don’t you just copy the answers from the general meeting?
Yun Liu's expression was complicated.
How can this be the same?
Wu Shisun is a man, so naturally his servants don’t have to worry about their master suffering a loss!
But my family belongs to a girl!
After understanding the look in his eyes, Zhu Xiu, who was experienced and had already seen through everything, chose to remain silent - it was really not certain who would suffer.
Seeing that Yunliu didn't seem to give up easily, Zhu Xiu pulled out the big knife from behind and wiped it with his sleeve.
Yunliu: "...?"
In this situation tonight, Zhu Xiu has no chance to draw his sword. What is he going to do?
Quietly touching the dagger in his sleeve, Yun Liu realized that the equipment gap between the two sides was too big, and Yun Liu's chest felt tight.
After a while, watching the other party put away the sword again, Yun Liu thought in his heart: This person is not a member of my orthodox family, and he really has different intentions. He must inform the general about this when he comes back!
The bright moon gradually rose, and the moonlight diffused into the forest.
Under the moonlight, two figures walked side by side.
Looking at the shadow under the moon, Wu Chao silently dropped his hands that were originally behind his back.
His action was unconscious, but in this way, the pair of shadows under his feet looked like they were walking hand in hand.
The young man was startled, and after looking thoughtfully for a moment, he slightly raised his head to look at the bright moon above the woods.
Today is the thirteenth day, and the bright moon is still incomplete, but at this moment, he feels that there is no defect at all. The missing corner has been completely filled with other things.
At this time, his mood was very peaceful.
But it's not because of this month.
During this period of time in Ningyang, he never had a day off. In the process of investigating some things, he had some perceptions and doubts. Although everything was the same before and after him, he was not a sage without sorrow and joy.
What I have always believed in was completely shaken in an instant. It is impossible to say that my mood has not changed.
But all of this disappeared at this moment.
He hadn't even mentioned it to her, and she didn't need to say anything. Just walking side by side like this, he felt that his heart was as stable as a big tree taking root.
At this moment, he realized that this root had penetrated silently and it would be impossible to move it away.
Hearing that he didn't speak, Xu Mingyi just walked quietly.
This kind of silence did not make the two of them feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, they both felt comfortable and happy. Their joy was silent and silent, like the moonlight flowing quietly.
Xu Mingyi could clearly sense that this reunion was different from the last time she went to Ningyang.
She had wanted to ask him how he was doing these days - things he had not mentioned in his letters.
But this situation made her reluctant to break it out loud.
She had never known that she could be so delicate and patient in the past, and even this kind of silence now seemed meaningless - but because the person next to her was named Wu Chao, the meaningless things had become completely different.
.
To be precise, from the moment she determined her mind, everything related to the name Wu Chao was destined to be picked out by her alone, and openly hidden in a separate corner of her heart, just for her.
Treated differently.
Until they left the forest, neither of them broke the tranquility.
Yun Liu, who was following not far away, looked at Zhu Xiu and sneered silently.
He paid careful attention along the way, and the girl and Wu Shisun didn't say a word - was the man named Zhu satisfied that the girl was embarrassed to this extent?
Outside the forest, the people brought by Xu Mingyi had tied up all the people, including Zhan Yunjiao.
"Are you going to go to the government with them in person?" Wu Chao asked Xu Mingyi.
Xu Mingyi nodded.
Since she was determined to settle the matter openly, she would naturally come forward as the party concerned.
"In this way, it may be easy for someone to deliberately confuse the situation and obscure the process——" As Wu Chao spoke, he looked at Yun Liu beside Zhu Xiu.
Yun Liu frowned.
What does this look mean?
Xu Mingyi understood.
Wu Chao was worried that after she came forward, if she had some unclear reasons, she would leave a chance for people to make fuss about her reputation. For example, if she came here at night to see "Zhan Yunzhu", or if she did this with the flower picker,
It would be bad if someone takes the opportunity to spread false rumors.
These were never the things she cared about the most, but she didn't want to let others take advantage of things she didn't have.
"Wu Shisun's thoughts are not unreasonable." Xu Mingyi looked at Yunliu apologetically: "In that case, I have to thank Uncle Yun for the next thing."
Yun Liu's eyes changed for a moment.
So... we want him to appear in the government with this appearance of neither human nor ghost, right?
After all, he is also a capable person under the general's command. Although his official position is not high, he still has it!
But facing the line of sight, he could only suppress the fluctuation in his voice, and said in the same tone as when facing military orders: "I obey my orders."
At this time, the only thing he was lucky about was that it was night, and even if the government temporarily went to court to hear the case, it would not disturb too many people.
"Most of the city gates are closed at this time. I think I won't be able to enter the city in time. It's better to rest outside the city for one night and go directly to the government office tomorrow morning -" Wu Chao suggested.
"...?" Yun Liu looked at the young man who spoke twice and twice forced him into an increasingly desperate situation.
But what makes people even more desperate is that the other party's suggestions are all practical and pertinent, and he can't refute them.
"Then let's go to Zhuangzi and rest for a night." Xu Mingyi said.
It would be better to go to the government office during the day. After all, she had other plans——
But it was obviously unrealistic to take such a group of people to stay at this time. Fortunately, her home had enough villages outside the city, so she could just pick one that was closer.
After saying that, she looked at Wu Chao: "If Wu Shisun doesn't dislike it -"
Before she finished speaking, the young man nodded.
Don't dislike it.
How could I dislike it?
Xu Mingyi coughed lightly and said, "Then let's go."
Wu Chao and her got on their horses one after the other and left here.
…
At the same moment, Mrs. Xu, the wife of Prince Dingnan, had just entered the city and was sitting in a carriage listening to her husband.
"Why did this kid A Yuan disappear halfway?" Wu Jingming clicked his tongue and said, "You said you were sending your wife to Beijing in person, so why did you give up before you even entered the city?"
He deliberately emphasized the word "personally".
The son did not send his wife to the city in person, but he came to pick her up in person. She should know about him now, right?
But his wife's next reaction made him feel confused for a while.
