Looking at Zhou Jie, Gu Youlan's thoughts turned a thousand times, although it was only a few breaths, but it seemed to have wandered for a century.

"Zhou Jie, are you okay?"

Gu Youlan's voice was faint, revealing a hint of ethereal, and the expression on her face was also soft, and she couldn't see any emotion.

"Huh?" Zhou Jie was slightly stunned.

Master, what's wrong? Why do you ask him if he's okay for no reason? Did she see something?

Yes, what a wise man my master is, even if I don't say anything, I think she can see it.

But......

Am I okay? Zhou Jie did not answer Gu Youlan's question immediately, but asked himself in his heart.

Thinking about the contract with the master for more than a year, although the time he has been with her is only a handful, he has gained a lot invisibly.

got the love of Bihe, had the cultivation of the Great Emperor, and lived a life of fine clothes and jade food every day, although he experienced the test of nine deaths and a lifetime in the Yu clan of Cang'er Valley, but he also came back unscathed.

He's supposed to be pretty good, isn't he?

But why do you feel that the master is just asking so casually, but there is something in the words?

"Master, I ......" Zhou Jie was a little speechless for a while.

According to his previous character, he should immediately answer his master, he is fine.

But there is another self in my heart, frantically telling him that you are not allowed to lie to your master, you are not good!

Am I bad? Zhou Jie asked himself again.

If so, why am I always unhappy?

There always seems to be a place in the heart, which is both stuffy and suffocating.

It is as if you are in the desert under the scorching sun, with the sun on your head and the hot under your feet, and your whole body and mind are in a scorching torment.

For many days and nights, when he tossed and turned, he also asked himself, why is he still unhappy now that he has received everything?

Could it be that he is a person who does not know gratitude, does not know how to be satisfied? Could it be that he, Zhou Jie, is also like those greedy people in the world, who have insatiable desires?

No, I'm not! Zhou Jie shouted in his heart.

Then he hurriedly stood up and waved his hand: "Master, my subordinates are very good, thank you for your thoughts!" ”

Looking at Zhou Jie, who suddenly turned pale, Gu Youlan knew everything instantly, she waved her hand helplessly, signaling him not to be polite, and to sit down quickly.

Zhou Jie, who sat down again, instantly recovered his normal color, but his straight back couldn't hide his inner resistance.

He wanted to tell his master loudly that he was not good, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them alive.

"Alas...... Zhou Jie! Gu Youlan, who was silent for a moment, finally sighed: "You didn't tell the truth, you are not good!" ”

As soon as Gu Youlan's words fell, Zhou Jie suddenly raised his head, and his wide-open eyes were red.

She saw it, she knew everything!

Bihe, who was cooking tea on the side, heard this, her hands trembled subconsciously, and she hurriedly turned around and looked at Zhou Jie with questioning eyes.

Zhou Jie: Is he bad? Why don't I know? Why did the princess see it?

Bihe's heart became a mess in an instant.

Only Bai Ze, who was sitting at the desk and didn't hear anything outside the window, was still immersed in selfless ink, writing hard.

After a few breaths, Gu Youlan finally broke the silence for a while.

"Zhou Jie, you came just in time this time, and I also have a few things to discuss with you!"

"Please make it clear!"

Gu Youlan nodded and continued: "Once, I promised you to help you find the bandits who killed your parents and avenge you!" ”

"Master, you ......" Zhou Jie shook his head quickly, and interjected eagerly, in fact, he wanted to say, master, really don't need it!

However, he was interrupted by Gu Youlan: "Don't talk yet, listen to me!" ”

Zhou Jie bowed.

"Actually, I've always wanted to catch those bandits in person and let you slash the enemy, but there have been so many things that have happened in the past six months, and I haven't pulled away."

"Of course, that's not a reason!" Gu Youlan took the tea and took a sip gently: "Although I didn't look for it myself, I sent several waves of people to check it." ”

"Half a year ago, those bandits have wandered around many places, and the second leader who once insulted your fiancée was also killed by the officers and soldiers who captured them."

"However, the bandit leader ran away, but luckily, our spies still found his traces!"

"Really?"

Hearing this, Zhou Jie's back was straightened for a long time, relaxed, the resistance in his heart collapsed, and the suffocation and stuffiness that were suppressed in his heart were like a strong wind blowing away dark clouds, and the sky was clear after the rain!

He instantly felt that his whole body was much more comfortable, and even the spiritual power in his body became more and more popular.

The master still remembers me, she has not forgotten my deep hatred, she knows where the depression in my heart is.

Although he had a small grudge against her, he had also told himself many times that his master was not ignorant of him, but he was just too busy.

In fact, Zhou Jie had privately searched for the traces of those bandits, and the news he got was not much different from what Gu Youlan said.

His depression is precisely because the bandit leader has disappeared, and he has no cultivation in vain, but he is powerless to take revenge.

Later, he tried his best and did not get any useful information.

Unexpectedly, the master has been sending people to secretly find out, and it is the master I misunderstood......

Zhou Jie's eyes were moist, and big tears flowed down.

It was tears of emotion and shame.

It is said that men don't flick when they have tears, but they don't get to the sad place.

At this moment, Zhou Jie couldn't hold back any longer, poofed, knelt on his knees, and cried bitterly.

Bihe, who was on the side, saw Zhou Jie crying like this, and wanted to help him up several times, but was stopped by Gu Youlan.

She had no choice but to stand aside, silently crying with him, and blaming herself infinitely in her heart.

How can I be so stupid and so selfish! has always boasted of admiring Zhou Jie, but he didn't even know that he had such a big thing hidden in his heart!

No wonder, she always subconsciously felt that Zhou Jie had changed, becoming taciturn, and not smiling all day long.

She also had an awkward relationship with him for a while, thinking that he had changed his mind!

The more she thought about this, the more she blamed herself in her heart, the more sad she became, and her tears were like a flood that opened the floodgates, and she couldn't stop it.

Looking at Zhou Jie, who was kneeling on the ground, crying snot and tears, and then looked at Bihe, who was crying pear blossoms with rain, Gu Youlan frowned, and instantly felt that one head was two big.

These two people are really a natural couple, and it seems that they really have to find a time to get their marriage done.

Come to think of it, Bihe's age is not too young, and it is not a good thing to hang so unclearly all the time!

Thinking about this, Gu Youlan coughed lightly.

"I said, you two, have you all cried enough? If you don't cry enough, drink some water and continue to cry, otherwise the tears will dry up, and my pills won't be able to make up for it! ”

"Besides, if you still want to continue crying, hurry up and cry on the city wall of Chunyu Guojing, maybe you can cry down the city wall, and when I send troops to attack, I will save a lot of effort!"

Poof......

Hearing the princess's words, Bihe snorted and laughed, and the voice she said was buzzing and thick nasal.

"Princess, you are the empress, and you still make fun of slaves like this!"

I haven't heard of it, the pill can still replenish tears, and I haven't heard of it, tears can still cry down the city wall.

How many tears does that get? If it's a flood, it's pretty much the same.

Of course, Bihe would not know that in Gu Youlan's previous life, there was really a legend about tears, that is, the famous story - Meng Jiangnu cried on the Great Wall!

Bihe said, he really felt a little thirsty, so he hurriedly got a cup of herbal tea and handed it to Zhou Jie first, and then he also took a big gulp and drank three times in a row.

"Oh my God!" Gu Youlan's eyes widened, and she looked at Bihe's cow drink: "Bihe, how many tears did you cry just now?" ”

"Tsk, what a pity!" Gu Youlan said as she shook her head and sighed.

Shaoqing, when Zhou Jie had cried enough and withdrew from being moved and ashamed, he and Bihe quickly washed up again, and then returned to the room and sat back on the chair.

Taking advantage of this gap, Gu Youlan got up and went to the ground, and tucked the corner of the quilt on the bed, Bai Lin, who was already asleep in the dark.

changed into a blue satin long skirt, draped down the three thousand green silks, picked up a strand of hair on the temples and twisted it into a bun, and inserted an emerald orchid flower to shake.

The whole person looks not only beautiful and refined, but also eye-catching, as if competing with the winter snow for a touch of green.

When Bihe and Zhou Jie came back, Bai Ze, who had been working hard to write, also wrote what Gu Youlan explained.

So, Gu Youlan first discussed a few matters with Zhou Jie.

First of all, it is to inform him that the bandit leader, after several wanderings, is currently on the island in the middle of the continental plate-Mercenary City.

The island where Mercenary City is located is an independent large island, connecting the upper and lower parts of the Qixia Continent from north to south, and is not managed by any country and is self-contained.

In the early days of the city's founding, it was initiated by pirates who had been entrenched in the inland seas for many years.

After nearly a thousand years of growth, the entire mercenary city now has nearly 500 large and small corps.

All mercenary groups are divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Yellow, and each level is divided into one to five grades.

Not only is it strictly governed, but it also has an independent and perfect law. The one who created and administered these laws was the lord of the city elected by all the mercenary groups.

The bandit leader who killed Zhou Jie's parents, after escaping to Mercenary City, used all his connections and consumed a lot of financial resources to take refuge in a mercenary group called Bloodkill.

The Blood-Killing Mercenary Group is a third-order prefecture-level mercenary group, which is well-known in the mercenary city.

The number of people not only exceeds more than 1,000, but there are also more than 100 emperor-level masters.

I heard that just last month, this bandit leader saved the leader of the blood-killing mercenary group when he was on a mission.

Since then, he has become a small leader, with more than 100 younger brothers.

When Zhou Jie heard the message that Gu Youlan told him, the heart that had just fallen back immediately rose again.
