But when he dipped the ink and lifted the pen, Qi Muyuan hesitated.

How can this kind of thing be written in black and white on the letter? If Du Jinning is really a woman dressed as a man, this is definitely a big secret, except for her mother, sister and herself, it is estimated that no one knows about it, right?

Write a letter by yourself, and watch chess by your side; This letter had to be sent to Du Jinning by asking someone to travel thousands of miles, and it had to pass through the hands of countless people in the middle. If something goes wrong in the middle and is seen, it will bring disaster to Du Jinning.

You must know that Du Jinning participated in the imperial examination, and now he is still a six-rank official in the court, and he is also known in the state. If she is really a woman, this is a great crime of bullying the king, even if the emperor appreciates her talent and learning, for the sake of his own face and for the sake of the right dynasty, he wants Du Jinning's head to fall to the ground.

So, this letter cannot be written!

Qi Muyuan resolutely put down the pen.

He walked back and forth in the room a few times, and finally thought that Guanqi was standing there as an eyesore, so he waved his hand at Guanqi, and Guanqi retreated very brightly, and closed the door for Qi Muyuan intimately.

As soon as he watched the chess, Qi Muyuan fell to the chair in a daze.

His heart was so anxious, he scratched his heart and lungs, he couldn't wait to fly to Du Jinning with wings now, shaking her shoulders and asking her if she was a woman. But reason told him he couldn't do that.

Although Runzhou is not far away, horseback riding is only half a day's work. But he is an official under Zhao Yu, and he has a lot of things to do. Being able to take the time to visit Du Jinning in Runzhou was already Zhao Yu's kindness, and it was because he took care of both public and private affairs, Zhao Yu remembered Du Jinning's situation in Runzhou, so he let him go.

Now if you want to get Zhao Yu's consent and go to Runzhou again, it is absolutely impossible. If Qi Muyuan doesn't care about his career and his children's affection, then he can ignore Zhao Yu's opinion. But......

Thinking of Du Jinning's pretending to be a man and wanting to restore the difficult situation faced by women's clothing in the future, Qi Muyuan did not dare to be the slightest willful.

No matter what Du Jinning's plans are, whether he plans to restore women's clothes and marry him, or continue to dress as a man like this, he always has to prepare for the worst to help Du Jinning tide over the difficulties.

If he wants to help Du Jinning tide over the difficulties and avoid the catastrophe caused by women disguising themselves as men, he must have political capital on the one hand, and his own armed forces on the other. And all this, he has on hand now, although it is very weak, far from the point where it can help Du Jinning escape, but as long as it is in business for a few years......

Thinking of this, Qi Muyuan remembered what Du Jinning had promised him.

She said at the time that let him give her three years, and after three years, she would give his affection a return. After that, she went to Runzhou.

Three-year ......

When he heard this, he didn't think about it at all, he just thought that she needed time to get used to this intolerable relationship. And now that she thinks about it, she must have given him a promise. After three years, she will regain her daughter and marry him as a girl.

Thinking of this, Qi Muyuan's heart beat faster, his blood boiled, and his whole body was noisy with sweetness and excitement.

Now, he doesn't need to ask Du Jinning to determine Du Jinning's real gender. Otherwise, how to explain what she said at the time?

Three years, three years, three years, they will be able to be together in the open, and she will become his wife. They will get along day and night, he can hug her and kiss her with impunity, and do everything that a husband and wife can do.

He could finally stop worrying about his dreams. Du Jinning is a woman, a woman! The one in his dream is Du Jinning, right?

He did not betray her, either in reality or in dreams; Both mentally and physiologically. The woman in the dream must be Du Jinning. He kissed her in his dreams and did that kind of shameful thing with her. He loved her more than anything else......

Thinking of this, Qi Muyuan once again had a desperate impulse to run to Runzhou to hug Du Jinning in his arms, kiss her, and tell her his heart.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He picked up his pen, dipped it in ink on a half-dried inkstone, and wrote two words on the paper: three years.

Three years!

Since Du Jinning promised him three years, he also has to use these three years to do everything he can and reach all the heights he can reach. Three years later, there is a tough battle to be fought, and he will never abandon Du Jinning's side, protect her, and give her the greatest help. Whatever the outcome, he is willing to bear it with her.

Even if you lose your life!

Placing the paper with the words "three years" and two years written on it in front of the table, he poured water, slowly unfurled the ink on the inkstone, put the pen on another piece of paper, listed the strength he currently had at hand one by one, analyzed and compared, pondered their usefulness in three years, and considered how to grow and develop......

That night, Qi Muyuan slept very late. The next day, however, he got up earlier than ever.

After practicing boxing, he went to find Qi Bokun, who had just gotten up.

"You're looking for a more powerful martial arts master?" Qi Bokun asked in surprise.

He had just learned from Aunt Lin what had happened last night. Because he was mentally prepared, he was not surprised by this result.

If Qi Muyuan accepted the two maids in a different way and had a relationship with them, he would be surprised and wonder if his grandson was stimulated by something.

Unexpectedly, when he woke up, Qi Muyuan did not protest against last night's incident, but made such a request inexplicably.

"Xiaoyuan." He took the handkerchief handed over by Aunt Lin and wiped his face, "When you were learning to practice martial arts, your grandfather once said something to you, do you remember?" ”

"Yes." Qi Muyuan said without hesitation, "Grandfather said, you asked the master to teach me martial arts, not to expect me to become a martial artist, but to have the ability to protect myself." ”

Qi Bokun nodded: "Just remember." ”

He handed the handkerchief to Aunt Lin, looked at his beloved grandson, and continued: "At that time, my grandfather only hoped that you would be better than ordinary people, and that when you encountered difficulties, you would have the ability to protect yourself and get the time for the nurses to rescue you. And your performance did not live up to your grandfather's expectations. ”

"You are talented, you are very able to endure hardships, and if you practice diligently for ten years, even your martial arts masters are full of praise for you. A few days ago, Liu Gao also told me that you are already better than the blue. You have practiced for ten years, and your kung fu is higher than what they have practiced for twenty or thirty years, and your talent is beyond their reach. ”

He waved his hand to stop Qi Muyuan, who wanted to speak: "However, grandfather is still the same sentence, grandfather doesn't expect you to become a martial artist." No matter how high the martial arts are, what is the use? Do you still want to be a secret guard for the emperor? We need to use the brain, not the body. Even on the battlefield, sometimes a wise man's words are better than thousands of troops. ”

"Grandfather, I know what you mean. I didn't leave everything behind to learn martial arts. I just want to use most of the morning to practice martial arts to make my martial arts more sophisticated. Qi Muyuan finally found the break between Qi Bokun's words and said his purpose, "You also said just now that I have talent, since I have such a talent, I always need to spend more than half an hour practicing martial arts every morning, why don't you use the talent and this time to make my martial arts more sophisticated?" The ability to protect myself is stronger, and there is nothing to lose to me. ”

Qi Bokun persuaded that big call, not because he was against Sun Tzu inviting a martial arts master, but because he was worried that Sun Tzu would put the cart before the horse and spend all his thoughts on martial arts.

At this time, after listening to Qi Muyuan's words, he put his mind at ease and nodded: "If you think so, then I am relieved." ”

He raised his hand to stop Qi Muyuan, closed his eyes and thought about it, then finally opened his eyes and said: "In this world, there are not many people who are stronger than you in martial arts, and if there is, it is also in the Inner Palace." Give me a few days, and I'll convince the emperor to send someone to your side to train your men. How you learn kung fu from him when the time comes is up to you. ”

Qi Muyuan was overjoyed: "Thank you grandfather." ”

Seeing that the hour was not early, the grandfather and grandson sat down at the table and had breakfast together.

Qi Bokun took the small soup bag handed over by Qi Muyuan, dipped it in some balsamic vinegar, and said: "Du Jinning's "Shengshimin Daily" has made a lot of noise in the past two days. When you have time, you can take a look, and then call the shopkeeper named Zhuang Yue, ask him what he thinks, and then point to him. ”

"Okay." Qi Muyuan nodded.

Qi Bokun looked at his grandson curiously: "Why don't you ask if this movement is good or bad?" ”

Qi Muyuan said with a smile: "I went to Runzhou, and Du Jinning also talked to me about it. She also said at the time that newspapers would cause some movement. When she said this, she must have been confident that this would be the way it would go, and that everything was under control. So there's nothing to worry about. But she is far away, and the whip is out of reach, so I went to ask and deal with the matter that Zhuang Yue didn't dare to be self-conscious, which is also good. ”

He lowered his eyes and took a sip of porridge, and his mood was better than ever.

He found that when he mentioned Du Jinning just now, his heart was full of warm and sweet feelings, which he had never had before.

In the past, he liked Du Jinning, and against all odds to fight for and protect this relationship, but the experience that this relationship gave him was heavy and painful, full of self-blame, entanglement and various contradictions. For the sake of this relationship, he failed his grandfather, who had high hopes for him, and also blocked Du Jinning's opportunity to have a normal family life, and his heart was full of guilt. And the woman who appeared in the dream, the desire for normal sexual orientation in physiology, deepened this torment.

But now, he suddenly discovered that Du Jinning is a woman, and they have the opportunity to become a normal husband and wife, he doesn't have to be entangled for physical contradictions, nor does he have to be torn up to his grandfather, let alone suffer for dragging Du Jinning into the water, the heavy shackles that fell in his heart disappeared all of a sudden. Now thinking of Du Jinning, there is only warmth and sweetness left in his heart, the sun is shining and the spring is brilliant, and it is no longer dark and gloomy before.

This made his usually cold face become warm.

"What's the matter, I went to Runzhou and became in a good mood?" Qi Bokun asked with a complicated expression.

"Huh?" Qi Muyuan found that he was overjoyed. He quickly wiped his face, trying to restore himself to his normal appearance, and then denied it wantonly: "No, I just think of a powerful martial arts master, and I am very happy." ”

He wanted to tell his grandfather that Du Jinning was a woman, so that his grandfather would not worry about him. But this is a very important matter, related to Du Jinning's life and death, he really doesn't dare to say it rashly. Although, he had absolute trust in his grandfather. But the more people know, the more opportunities to leak secrets. He didn't dare to joke with Du Jinning's life.

Qi Bokun didn't expose Sun Tzu's lies, but just warned: "The emperor knows what is going on between you and Du Jinning." Don't show such an expression in front of him, lest it arouse the emperor's disgust. ”

"Yes, I see." Qi Muyuan responded obediently.

With his current thoughts, he couldn't help but run to Du Jinning's side.

Qi Bokun's words reminded him of the matter of Zhao Mingyue, the eldest princess of the Lu Kingdom.

If Du Jinning is really a woman, then Zhao Mingyue wants her to become a concubine, which is ridiculous......

"I'm done." Qi Bokun put down the dishes and chopsticks and prepared to go to court.

Qi Muyuan quickly sobered up from his thoughts, stood up and planned to send Qi Bokun.

Qi Bokun waved his hand: "You continue to eat, leave me alone." However, before going out, you must keep your mind in check, so that no one can see it. This spring heart rippling look is really spicy eyes, in short, it makes Qi Bokun feel very unhappy.

If he is heartbroken with a woman, his old man will naturally be happy. can be in the heart of a man...... Uh, please forgive him for accepting that he can't.

It seriously affects the appetite of his old man.

Qi Muyuan's face flushed, and he responded, "Yes." ”

Qi Bokun wanted to go to the morning court, but he didn't bother to pay attention to this kid, turned around and went back to the house to change clothes.

Qi Muyuan faced the breakfast on the table, but he was a little unappetizing.

And what his grandfather said just now also made him a little embarrassed.

He pointed to the things on the table and instructed Guan Qi, "Pack these up, take them back to the courtyard, and I'll eat them again." ”

As an official from the sixth grade, he is not qualified to go to court. At this time, it was still early before the o'clock time, and he returned to his yard, where he could still eat breakfast calmly while being stupid and nymphomaniac.

He also knew that he was not in the right state, and after returning to his yard, he tried to adjust his mentality after breakfast. When he came out of the house and went to Dali Temple, he had returned to his usual cold and expressionless appearance.

He planned to take advantage of the arrival of the emperor's people to make some corresponding adjustments to the strength of his subordinates.

This force is not only the power in Zhao Yu's hands, but also his power. Once he wants to stand on the opposite side of Zhao Yu because of Du Jinning's disguise as a man, and can control this force to serve him and Du Jinning, their chances of winning will be a little greater.

Thinking more about Du Jinning's difficulties when he restored women's clothes, the strings in his heart tightened a little, which diluted the huge impact that Du Jinning was a woman brought to him, as well as the endless joy that he wanted to laugh from time to time.
