Chapter 39: The Choice

"Retreat, haha, the widow retreated! We held it! ”

The city tower is full of joy, this is not only the excitement of escaping death, but also the embodiment of pride and pride in the heart! The other party is a group of outlaws who have the ability to slaughter several counties and capture the state capital. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Such a group of people actually fell into the sand in their own hands in this small Wu County! What a miracle is this? No, miracles are not enough to describe, because they did not have a single casualty, it is a miracle, only the gods can do it!

After experiencing the initial excitement, everyone gradually calmed down, and they all looked at Jiang Yun in unison, their eyes full of excitement and awe. It's him, it's him, it's him! Our friends, little ... Oh, that's a long way off.

The thin and delicate young man in front of him has become an invincible god of war in their eyes. It was he, without any props for defending the city, using the daily necessities looted from the city in just two hours, leading a thousand old and weak soldiers with no combat experience, and repelled 2,000 Japanese soldiers without losing a single member. staged a textbook hanging wire guarding the city...

Inspector Luo also had a relaxed smile on his face and arched his hand at Jiang Yun. "The hero is a young man, and the ability of Lord Jiang is admired by the official!"

Jiang Yun shook his head disappreciatively and said, "It's just a fluke." To this day, it is not known why the Japanese retreated, and they have to bother the inspectors to garrison the city and remain vigilant. In case the Japanese are cheating, they go and return. In addition, Master Li is requested to immediately issue a notice to reassure the people. Xia Guan's legs are weak now, and he can't stay for a long time, so he will retire first. ”

For this battle to defend the city, Jiang Yun spent a lot of effort, but now he suddenly relaxed, his intuition was physically and mentally exhausted, and he couldn't wait to rush back to the wing room immediately and climb into bed, and sleep on it in the dark.

"Okay, Lord Jiang just rests, and in the evening, the official will discuss with the master of the chief bookkeeper to hold a celebration banquet, and then call you later."

"I'm tired."

-------------------------------

Returning to the county office, he went straight to the backyard wing, and walked into the house, Jiang Yun was stunned to find that Ji Luo also followed, his face twisted and pinched, and he stopped talking. Recalling the first time the two met, her gentle and calm appearance, Jiang Yun couldn't help but be happy.

"What's wrong? Let's talk about it, and look at what worries you. Jiang Yun said with a smile.

Ji Luo looked at him steadily, was silent for a long time, and said, "You... Do you want to come back to Jinling with me? ”

"Back to Jinling? Why should I go to Jinling? Although the Japanese have retreated, the affairs of Wu County are not over, the county order and the county have run away, and I will definitely not be able to leave. Tomorrow I will find a carriage and two more trustworthy soaps to escort you back. ”

"Pretend, you pretend again! Don't you really know my thoughts? Why do you risk staying here? Whether it's good or bad, you should always give me an explanation! ”

Seeing that Jiang Yun was still pretending at this time, Ji Luo was extremely angry, he really couldn't understand, seeing that this guy's mind had been loosened, how did he retreat, and shrank into a king bastard, and he didn't see oil and salt, and he hated it!

Jiang Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Then what do you want me to do?" ”

"Propose marriage! Tomorrow you will go back with me and propose to my father. Ji Luoqiao's face was slightly red, but her tone was quite firm.

Jiang Yun shook his head and sighed, "Propose? Why should I? I'm just a classic who was promoted by your father, a petty official who doesn't even have a grade, a poor ghost who can't even get a dowry of a thousand taels, and an uneducated person who doesn't even have the status of a showman, so there is no possibility of promotion at all. Would your father allow you to marry someone like me who has nothing? ”

After a pause, Jiang Yun continued: "Okay, even if I have the cheekiness to propose to your father, and I am very lucky to meet your father when he is confused, he agreed, and then what?" Your Majesty, can your imperial grandfather agree? County Lord, your marriage, even if you don't talk about the right family, at least it can't be too far apart. We... After all, they are people of two worlds. ”

"Excuses! It's all excuses! Ji Luo's face turned red and said indignantly: "Daddy loves me the most, as long as I identify you, he will start to disagree, and eventually he will compromise, the emperor's grandfather has all opportunities, and he is far away in the capital, where can he manage me?" Wu Wangfu's family has a big business, who cares how much silver you can pay for the dowry? If you are not a civil official, you can be a military general! Once you get married, I can ask my father to arrange a position for you in Sanwei, with your ability, you can be a martial arts general in less than three years, where is it worse than the county master? At that time, you were in your early twenties. Thinking that Cao Rui is the son of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, backed by the emperor's grandson, and he didn't become a county magistrate until he was thirty years old, why should you be arrogant? ”

"I..."

"You're still thinking about the lady you divorced, aren't you?"

Jiang Yun was silent, he couldn't deny this. In all fairness, if he didn't consider Zhu'er's factor, would he have tried his best to marry Ji Luo? That's for sure. He is such a simple person, whoever is good to him, he is good to whom.

What I said before is indeed an excuse. Jiang Yun is very thick-skinned, he goes his own way, and never thinks about what others think of him, so what if he has nothing? As long as you like it, you will go for it at all costs. Identity? Identity is a fart.

In order to save him, Zhu'er still doesn't know where he is, and his love is higher than the sky. The Japanese soldiers are coming to the city, Jiang Yun's life and death are unpredictable, but Ji Luo is willing to happily accompany him to his death, where is this emotion? He wasn't a lump of wood, so at that moment, he loosened.

The crux of the matter is that the Wako is gone! The county lord stood in front of him peacefully, and Zhu'er has not heard from him so far, how dark does he have to be to be shy and try his best to marry Ji Luo?

"Me, I need a little time."

"How long?"

Jiang Yun was silent again. He couldn't give a specific time, Zhu'er was the knot in his heart, and if he didn't understand this knot, he couldn't calmly marry another woman.

"I can't wait any longer." Ji Luo sighed, gritted his teeth and said, "She and I, you have to make a choice in the end." Since you can't make that decision right now, we might as well take a gamble. ”

"What do you mean?" Jiang Yun was stunned.

"I'll leave now, leave Wu County and go back to Jinling! If you can catch up before you arrive in Jinling, then I, Ji Luo, will not marry you in this life, and I will never change my mind. If you do not come, then ... I've never known you, and we've never had anything to do with you. ”

"You're pushing me." Jiang Yun had a big headache.

Ji Luo stood in front of him, stretched out his hand to hold Jiang Yun's cheeks, and said softly, "I'm also forcing myself." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Jiang Yun deeply, as if he wanted to imprint his appearance firmly in his mind. After a long time, Ji Luo turned around and left resolutely without looking back, leaving only Jiang Yun with an unusually free and easy back.

Looking at the empty room, Jiang Yun let out a long sigh, threw himself on the bed, and slowly closed his eyes.

After coming to this world, he just wants to be free and live without heart and lungs, but why is there more and more concern in his heart?

-------------------------

After leaving the county office, Ji Luo walked straight to the city gate, took out the jade plate of the palace, ordered the city guards to open the city gate, and stepped on the official road to Suzhou Mansion.

She did not look for the carriage driver directly in the city, nor did she go to the county office to get the horse. One is because the people with horses in the city have fled early before the Japanese invaders, and second, she also wants to set aside some time for Jiang Yun to make a choice.

rode directly all the way back to Jinling, what should he do if he couldn't catch up? Ji Luo was free and easy on the surface, but he couldn't help but be apprehensive in his heart, after thinking about it, he still walked to Suzhou Mansion, which could be reached almost at night, and he would rest for a night by the way, so it was equivalent to giving Jiang Yun a day to think about it.

If he hadn't chased after him the next morning, then she would have completely extinguished this thought and returned to Jinling with peace of mind.

The county lord's plan was perfect, but not long after she left Wu County, dozens of figures appeared in the woods on the side of the official road, silently following.
