Chapter 236: Your Choice
The two families are deadlocked, and the people from the Soldiers and Horses Division are already coming, and Jing Mingxin has made a move. He clamped Jing Yuzhao's long sword between his fingers, and with a force, Jing Yuzhao retreated, a hand flower, and the sword spun rapidly in his hand, Jing Mingxin let go of the sword, lifted Yin Bing next to him and jumped up, with a bang, and the door shattered. Yin Bing turned the screen inside, and Jing Mingxin disappeared into the room.
The officers and soldiers outside had already come, Jing Yuzhao made a gesture, and all of their people retreated. When the group returned to Princess Anqing's mansion, Luo Tianwen asked, "Why don't you make up your mind to snatch that Yin Bing?" β
"If we rob hard, Sima Yu and they will definitely kill them. I guess the reason why they came to ransom this Yin Ice is that she is useful, but they will not let her fall into our hands. It's not entirely a bad thing that Yin Bing is alive, at least we can find her slowly, and as long as we find her, we can follow the vine. Jing Yuzhao is ready to put a long line to catch a big fish.
The group tossed and tossed in the middle of the night, and then rested early. When Jing Yuzhao fell asleep, Gu Jue suddenly got up and looked sideways at Jing Yuzhao's face with some obsession. Today's words were like a knife that cut through the deepest fear in his heart. He wasn't strong enough to fight alongside Yuzhao, and he hated himself for being like that. Stretching out his left hand, he smiled sadly, he had to admit that his heart was actually full of fear, afraid that one day Yuzhao would not love him. Gu Jue stretched out his hand and swiped Jing Yuzhao's cheeks lovingly, Yuzhao, I really love you, I love you so much that I can't lose you.
Jingfu, when Sima Yu and they left, Jing Mingxin got up and went back to the house to sleep, and as soon as he sat on the bed, a woman wrapped her arms around his waist.
"Let go, Yin Bing."
Yin Bing not only didn't let go, but hugged him tighter, "It's rumored that you're not close to women, I want to verify it myself." β
Jing Ming's palm swept across Yin Bing's side face, and he threw Yin Yu to the ground with a force. "Your set won't work for me."
Yin Bing was not angry, got up and sat on the chair opposite, "It's really ruthless, I can receive your hint, what, do you want to eat alone?" β
"You have no other choice, your bends are clear to the prince, you are the icing on the cake for him, and it doesn't hurt if you don't." Jing Ming said coldly.
"And what do you want from me?" Yin Bing didn't think he didn't use himself.
"You'd better be honest for a while, and I'll rearrange your identity when the limelight is over. Okay, you go down, don't walk around, otherwise you'll be injured and die, and I'm not responsible. Jing Ming gave an order to evict the guests.
Yin Bing reluctantly left and returned to her residence.
After Jing Yuzhao's letter was given to Jing Lin, he didn't expect Jing Lin to accept it, and asked her to visit the Great Confucian Zhuang Xiao. Jing Yuzhao crumpled Jing Lin's letter and threw it on the ground and stepped on it a few times, Gu Jue happened to enter the door and saw her childish appearance.
"I'm so angry this early in the morning, what's wrong?" Gu Jue sat down beside Jing Yuzhao and hugged Jing Yuzhao's waist.
"The idea you gave me last time recommended that Zhuang Xiao, I told Jing Lin, he asked me to visit, and said that he must invite people back, he wanted Zhuang Xiao to preside over a small imperial examination to help select useful talents."
"There is such a shortage of people in the DPRK now?" Gu Jue didn't expect it to have reached this point.
"What's more, in the two cases, the entire imperial court bleeds, and the incumbent officials are also in danger, and they are afraid to speak and do things, and they have no courage. In addition, Jiang Shoufu's status in the hearts of the scholars is difficult to shake, and nine out of ten people who are promoted are related to Jiang Shoufu. If this continues, it will be a vicious circle, and within two or three years, the court will return to its current miasma. Jing Yuzhao sighed, it was so difficult. It is not easy to manage a country, and no matter how hard the subordinates are, they are simply exhausted.
Gu Jue knew what Jing Yuzhao was bothered about. Listening to her tone, she will help with this favor, but she doesn't like to deal with these well-behaved Confucians, you come and I train a lot of saints, and her current reputation, participating in the name of the court is still perverse.
"I think you need to find someone to accompany you, this person must have a good relationship with Zhuang Xiao, and he is also proficient in scripture and history, and it is best to be an official in the court."
Jing Yuzhao thought about it carefully, and finally shook her head, she didn't understand this. Gu Jue looked at Jing Yuzhao's expression and chuckled, "You, Fang Zhong is." β
"Real estate agent? How did I not know? β
"This Fang Zhong and Zhuang Xiao are old friends, and then Zhuang Xiao returned to seclusion and the two people gradually became less and less connected, so it's always right for you to ask Fang Xiao for help."
I see. Jing Yuzhao immediately wrote a letter to Fang Zhong for Zidai to send out. After finishing his work, he remembered Gu Heng's affairs. "Is Gu Heng not at the border?"
"Not anymore, on the way back. The whereabouts are very secretive, I sent someone to look for a long time before I found a little trace, and then I disappeared, what Wangchen said was right, Gu Heng would definitely go to find her. Gu Jue is a little complicated about Gu Heng now, knowing the truth back then, he can't say whether Gu Heng is right or wrong. He betrayed love, but he also saved people up and down the Gu family. If it's just a Danshu iron coupon, it's nothing, it's just a dead thing, it's a vain honor, but human life is not an indifferent thing.
Jing Yuzhao held Gu Jue's hand, "The things of the year are over, don't worry about it, the important thing is that in the future, will you forgive him?" β
"No, it won't." Gu Jue said firmly, "Even if he faced a difficult choice back then, after so many years, he still chose the wrong path." When he wanted to abolish me, the little father-son affection I had with him came to an end. β
"Gu Jue," Jing Yuzhao held Gu Jue's hand and stared into his eyes, "If it were you at that time, what would you choose?" Jing Yuzhao admitted that she was naΓ―ve, and she actually asked this kind of multiple-choice question, but she just wanted to ask.
"I'll choose the third way." Gu Jue didn't have a trace of evasion.
"Oh? What kind of third way? Jing Yuzhao was curious.
"Tell you, together we will lead all the people to resist and fight a bloody way."
This answer, Jing Yuzhao likes. "Why didn't Gu Heng choose this way back then?"
"Judging from all kinds of speculations, Gu Heng didn't tell my mother about this at that time, if he told her, my mother would definitely choose to fight side by side with her without hesitation."
Jing Yuzhao also thinks so, the Lord of the Thousand Pavilion is a woman who dares to love and hate, not the kind of woman who wants to die or live, and quietly chooses to fulfill for you. In fact, it was still Gu Heng's distrust, he didn't fully trust the Thousand Pavilion Lord.
Looking at Jing Yuzhao on the other side and smiled sincerely, Gu Jue breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that she had passed the test, but Yuzhao asked this question also showed that she was uneasy and uncertain in her heart.
"By the way, where does Zhuang Xiao live now?" Jing Yuzhao asked.
"Taibao Mansion." Gu Jue replied.
It's not too far, but you can go there.
