Ji Yuanxu didn't know if he had been following Gu Qiandao for too long, but he was watching everything in horror.
"Girl! This... although I am old, I am not married yet, nor have I taken a wife. You... buying and selling by force is not a good idea!"
Ji Zirou raised her chin, rarely showing her own intimidation and domineering power.
Ji Yuanxu shrank his neck, the dignified and gentle painting master was being held hostage like a little daughter-in-law, not to mention how wronged he was...
Wen Ranran twitched the corner of her mouth, "That's not okay. He is our ally now. If you really want him, then... let's talk?"
It seemed that Wen Ranran's expression was too relaxed, and Ji Zirou was also affected by the strange and unreliable scene in front of her. After a long while, she almost nodded.
"Okay, you all go back to sleep! I'll talk to this... boss lady!"
Wen Ranran's tone became lighter. As long as we have something to talk about, we can talk about anything. This is not the first time that she has done this, let alone someone who has no standing at all.
What Ji Zirou is worried about now is only Ji Yuanxu's safety. Without Xia Lihong, both parties will naturally have no position.
Seeing that everyone had gone back to sleep, Wen Ranran gave Qianyu and Gu Qiandao a reassuring look and followed Ji Zirou out side by side.
The moonlight was shining brightly, and the village was extremely quiet now.
Wen Ranran held a lantern and finally found a towering tree that looked dense.
"Go up and sit for a while? It's also good to look at the moon!"
Wen Ranran tilted her head and asked for the other party's opinion.
Ji Zirou looked at Wen Ranran and did not refuse.
It wasn't until the two of them sat down, Wen Ranran looked at the bright moon with its own coldness through the treetops, that she started to laugh.
"I never thought that I would meet you here... When the news of your death came to me, I thought it was very strange. What I didn't expect was that you could actually escape!"
Wen Ranran said sincerely.
Ji Zirou pursed her lips, still in disbelief at the scene in front of her.
In the brief moment of the fight, Ji Zirou knew that this queen, who looked weak and weak, was definitely superior to her in martial arts.
In front of her, if he really took action, there would be no room for resistance.
"Why did you help me just now, and why did you...appear here?"
Ji Zirou said coldly.
"To the north, the State of Yan is at war with us... and has begun to station troops. If we can successfully pacify the State of Yan this time, it will definitely be a good thing! I just finished my business in Hangzhou and came over for a visit!" Wen Ranran said casually,
"Although I've only met you once, I'm still very impressed. After all, when I was selecting female officers, I chose Ji Zirou instead of you!"
There was a deep scar at the corner of Ji Zirou's lips. When she heard the words, she slightly curved her lips.
"Actually, I know. After all, Miss Yuan was the empress's confidant at that time!"
Wen Ranran raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "No...it's just because you were a craftsman at the time and our positions were different!"
Ji Zirou: "..."
The atmosphere was suffocating for a moment. What Ji Zirou didn't expect was that she once thought she was perfectly hidden, but... in fact, this so-called identity was known to Wen Ranran so long ago!
"If you knew it a long time ago, why didn't you just kill me?"
Ji Zirou said neither salty nor lightly.
"It was not the right time to alert the snake, and there was no need to directly play Xia Lihong's big game to deal with you. By the time the funeral was dealt with, you had disappeared!" Wen Ranran said concisely, "But it is different now.
Yes, at least we don’t have any differences in stance, right?”
"Are you going to use him to paint this time?"
Ji Zirou's face was a little cold.
Wen Ranran raised her eyebrows and said calmly, "It's not use, it's transaction... He wants to find out the cause of Ji Zirou's death and find out what happened to her. This old boy is stubborn and only wants to avenge you, his disciple."
