"Childe, what do you mean?" After everyone left, only Wei Lai and Ah Cheng were left in the main hall of the State Governor's Mansion.

At that time, Ah Cheng impatiently walked up to Wei Lai and asked with a confused expression.

She didn't understand what the 100,000 army brought by Tang Guan had to do with her, and what way she could recover them.

Wei Lai stood up, looked at Ah Cheng with a smile, and did not answer her question, but walked down the steps in the main hall.

"Miss Orange, do you remember that question I asked you a long, long time ago?"

Ah Cheng looked at the young man's back and asked suspiciously, "What's the problem?"

The young man walked slowly and walked to the door of the main hall.

The doors of the temple were wide open, and the bright sunlight outside the temple gates shone in.

The boy looked up at the clear sky, and after a long moment he turned back and asked, "What does the girl want?"

Ah Cheng was stunned, and he didn't know whether he was stunned by Wei Lai's sudden question, or if he didn't think of an answer, Ah Cheng was silent for a while.

Seeing that Ah Cheng was silent, Wei Lai raised his eyebrows and continued to ask: "Is it to avenge the Marquis of Chu, or to seek a place for himself to settle down, or is there anything else to ask for?"

Ah Cheng became more and more silent, she lowered her head and thought for a while.

Then he looked up at Wei Lai and asked, "Childe doesn't trust me, why do you ask?"

"It's not distrust. Wei Lai shook his head, and Ah Cheng met from Wupan City, and the two of them have been in trouble several times, although at the beginning because of each other's different positions, Ah Cheng had her own hesitation in many things, but in the end, she almost chose to stand on Wei Lai's side, how could Wei Lai doubt her.

"I just don't want to drag the girl into a quagmire that the girl could have avoided. Wei Lai said again.

Ah Cheng frowned, looked at Wei Lai puzzled, and asked, "What quagmire?"

This time, Wei Lai lowered his head and muttered for a while, and when he looked up at Ah Cheng again, there was a little complicated taste in his eyes.

He whispered, "Yuan Zhichun is dead." ”

Ah Cheng's body was stunned, and he trembled faintly.

But Wei Lai didn't give her a chance to completely digest the news, and then said: "I killed it with my own hands." ”

Ah Cheng's face became a little pale at that moment, even miserable.

She lowered her head and muttered, "I know he did a lot of wrong things, but he was very good to me. ”

"At that time, when he was in Tailin City, Emperor Yan was bewitched by the Queen of Jin, regardless of the government, the Queen of Jin was in charge, and made things difficult for His Royal Highness in every way, for a long time, the servants in the palace were the secret dishes of the Jin family, and the prince's mansion could not find a spoonful of rice that could be cooked. ”

"We were trapped in the mansion and starved for three days and three nights, and finally a courtier managed to find a way to deliver us a very fast meatloaf from the dog hole on the side of the mansion gate, and the first thing he thought of was to give me ......."

Ah Cheng said this, his eyes couldn't help but be a little red, and his voice became deeper and lower.

Wei Lai frowned and said, "So, the girl has to figure it out, whether to stay in Ningzhou or not, what I have to do is not only to kill Yuan Zhichun, but also the entire Yuan family is doomed." ”

Ah Cheng still lowered her head, as if she didn't hear what Wei Lai said, and she continued to mumble to herself: "Actually, from the moment Childe said that he left for Tailin City, I knew that Childe would kill him. ”

"Huh?" Wei Lai, who heard this, was stunned, but looked at Ah Cheng with some surprise, he never thought that the other party would guess this early in the morning, but doubts also arose immediately - since Ah Cheng guessed his purpose, why didn't he stop it, or plead for Yuan Sleevechun?

Ah Cheng raised his head and looked at Wei Lai.

Her eyes were filled with a look that Wei Lai had never seen on this girl's face before—grievance.

It was a very strange emotion for this girl.

She has always given people a kind of vigorous, resolute and ruthless, and does not lose the spirit of a man.

And such a deep resentful look made Wei Lai's heart skip a beat.

"Childe thinks, in my heart, what is Yuan Zhichun?" Ah Cheng asked Wei Lai instead.

Wei Lai frowned, but he was a little confused by Ah Cheng's question.

He pondered for a while, and then said: "I heard that before Ling Zhaoniang died, she entrusted you to Yuan Zhichun, and said that he would marry you when you became an adult, so I thought the girl was ...... with him."

"Does the heart belong to it?" or is it a concubine?" Ah Cheng rarely interrupted Wei Lai's words, and looked at Wei Lai with heavy eyes.

"My father died at the hands of the Yuan family, does Wei Gongzi really think that I will like the enemy's son?" Ah Cheng asked rhetorically.

At that moment, the girl's face was covered with frost, and her eyes flashed with a cold light.

"I just can't help it. Ah Cheng said.

This made Wei Lai more and more confused: "What do you mean?"

"My father was killed by the Yuan family, and he had the slightest intention of resisting until he died, and even helped Yan Ting write a letter to deter the rebellion that was about to rise in Manzhou. ”

"My father's heart is filled with the common people of the world, he just doesn't want to watch the people of Yandi, who have just calmed down the chaos in all directions, and have a little turnaround, fall into war again. ”

"I don't have a choice. Ah Cheng said in a low voice.

"The court didn't kill me because I was alive in Manzhou to be stable temporarily, and as a price, I had to choose between the Jin family and the crown prince. If I show the slightest reluctance, one day I will die at the hands of the court. ”

"In a sense, I, like Childe, have to do things that I don't want to do. ”

Wei Lai's heart trembled when he heard this, he knew that what Ah Cheng was referring to was that he had to bow to the snake for six years in order to cultivate the method of swallowing the dragon with the dove snake.

Of course he understands that feeling.

And before Wei Lai could digest that emotion, Ah Cheng's voice sounded again.

"But I have to admit that there are some things that I did not do as decisively and well as Childe. Ah Cheng said and looked at Wei Lai's gaze faintly bright, brightening up.

"At one point, I thought that clinging to Yuan Chongchun was my only choice. ”

"My father died for the life of this Yandi, if I coerce the people of Mangzhou to oppose the imperial court, not to mention whether I can resist Yanting with the strength of Mangzhou, but the summary will inevitably make the people of Yandi fall into war. ”

"In this way, my father will not die in vain. ”

"I can't let him die a meaningless death. ”

"Therefore, I chose Yuan Zhichun, I think he has experienced the suppression of the Jin family, and he must be able to understand what kind of harm will be brought to the lower when the superior is evil. ”

"If he can be a good emperor, although I can't avenge my father, I can at least correct my father's name and wash away the name of the traitor he has been carrying all these years. I thought this was the best thing to do while respecting his last wishes..."

Speaking of this, Ah Cheng paused again, and the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter when he looked at Wei Lai.

"Until I met you, Childe. ”

"Me?" Wei Lai looked at Ah Cheng with some puzzlement, with a strange expression on his face.

"Yes. Ah Cheng nodded heavily, "Childe made me understand what kind of people can really bring prosperity in the true sense to the people of Yandi." ”

Wei Lai was a little stunned, he said with a wry smile: "The girl thinks highly of me, I don't have such skills, what Wei Lai wants to do is to keep the foundation that my grandfather gave me, and fulfill the promise he once made to the people of Ningzhou......"

"Nope. Ah Cheng shook his head decisively: "Childe." ”

"There are two kinds of people in this world, one is the one who speaks well, but the other person who does the other thing. ”

And the other is someone who doesn't like to talk, but does more than anyone else. ”

"Yuan Zhichun is the former, and Gongzi is the latter. ”

"Just like Childe said, a person can protect certain people for certain interests, and he can also send those who were once protected by him to death for the greater good. ”

"I didn't understand it in the past, but what Yuan Zhichun did later made me understand this. ”

"If he was the emperor of Yan Court more than ten years ago, he would also do something like killing my father. ”

"So...... I can't say that I don't care about his life or death at all, after all, he is not bad to me, but dead...... It's just that he deserves it, it's his own choice, I've done my best, and Childe has done his best. ”

After Ah Cheng said this, he looked at Wei Lai, who was a little sluggish, and said with a straight face: "So, don't worry about it, if I didn't know what I wanted in the past, but now...... Now I already understand. ”

"What do you want me to do, Childe can just say it. ”

Wei Lai listened to Ah Cheng say these words in a daze, and he could clearly feel that in addition to stating his position, Ah Cheng obviously had some other emotions in his words.

But he didn't dare to respond, that kind of emotion.

Xu Yue.

The name always lingered in his mind, and it was difficult for Wei Lai to give her the slightest promise until he solved this doubt.

Therefore, he somewhat cowardly avoided the topic.

Gu left and right said to him: "I...... I know. ”

"Then trouble Ah Cheng girl to work hard these days, go to the border to take over the 100,000 army left by Tang Guan, in the final analysis, most of them are the old department of Chu Hou back then, if the girl comes forward to absorb them, it is not difficult, of course, it may inevitably let the girl spend some brains, if it really can't be solved, you can repair the book with me, and I will give the girl an idea." ”

Ah Cheng's face darkened when she heard this, and she felt that Wei Lai was avoiding her words, but she was strong and didn't want to entangle more, so she just glanced at Wei Lai deeply and nodded.

"Ah Cheng knows, I'll go to the border. With that, he turned around and walked out.

Wei Lai watched the girl's back gradually walking away in silence, and his eyes couldn't help but have some shame in his eyes.

While he was groaning, a voice suddenly sounded from the side.

"Wei Gongzi, I hurt the beauty again. Childe is really a good hand at attracting bees and butterflies. ”

Wei Lai was stunned for a moment, looked sideways, but saw a fiery red figure on the roof of the main hall swaying his feet, looking at him with a smile.
