This time Li Tongguang arranged the meeting place at the military camp, which was a Hongmen Banquet. On the surface, it looked polite, but in fact, it was meant to be humiliating.
During the banquet, he pulled up the captured Wu Guo soldiers and humiliated him wantonly in front of everyone in the mission, which made everyone in the mission excited.
The arrogant and arrogant look of a villain who succeeded in his mission really made the Wu people in the mission furious.
On this occasion, Zhou Chen did not make any move and just watched with cold eyes, while Ning Yuanzhou, Yang Ying and others wanted to kill Li Tongguang.
Li Tongguang wanted to humiliate the mission, but he did not expect that he would be humiliated instead. Ren Ruyi poured wine on his head in public. He was furious and wanted revenge.
In anger, Yang Ying even revealed the identity of Li Tongguang's son in public, causing Li Tongguang to lose his mind and attack him in public. However, Ning Yuanzhou struck back and knocked him to the ground.
Finally, the entire mission left the military camp with the captured soldiers and generals. Even though Li Tongguang was angry, he did not pursue them.
Today he indeed wanted to humiliate King Wu Li, but there was another more important thing, which was to find out whether the Princess of Huyang was his master. To this end, he took the person who once served Ren Xin
The maid called over.
He poured wine on Ren Ruyi's hat, deliberately asking Ren Ruyi to take off his hat so that Liuli could confirm Ren Ruyi's identity.
Shortly after the mission returned to the post house, Jin Meiniang secretly sneaked into the post house, found Ren Ruyi, and told Ren Ruyi all the information about Li Tongguang and the hidden secrets.
When Ren Ruyi heard that Li Tongguang had painted many portraits of her and even collected the clothes she once wore, her face became extremely grim.
Although she is unsophisticated in many things, she is an extremely smart woman and has spent time in the White Bird Camp. If she does not understand what Jin Meiniang wants to express, she immediately says that Jin Meiniang is overthinking.
However, she warned again worriedly.
"Don't tell Zhou Chen about this."
Jin Meiniang asked: "Your Majesty, are you worried about Mr. Zhou?"
Ren Ruyi said: "I'm worried that if he finds out, he will kill Li Tongguang. He is the most jealous person."
"ah?"
Jin Meiniang looked astonished. Although she had only met Zhou Chen a few times, she could feel that Zhou Chen was extraordinary. Is he really as jealous as His Majesty said?
Also, the tone and gesture of Your Majesty when he mentioned this man was something she had never seen before. She could see that His Majesty's heart was really captured by Zhou Chen.
"It seems that Mr. Zhou really cares about your Majesty, but I think Mr. Zhou is a smart man. Li Tongguang is surrounded by guards such as Lin. He will definitely not act recklessly."
Ren Ruyi said: "That's because you don't understand him. He is a bold man. If you anger him, he would really dare to kill Li Tongguang. Let alone Li Tongguang, I wouldn't be surprised if he assassinates the emperor.
"
She and Zhou Chen got along day and night. Over time, she naturally understood that Zhou Chen's temperament and attitude towards royal officials were no different from ordinary people, and he had no respect for the powerful.
Along the way, Zhou Chen has learned most of her assassination skills. If Zhou Chen became an assassin, he might be better than her.
"Your Majesty, you have really changed."
"Five years have passed, and no one will remain the same."
Jin Meiniang smiled and did not explain. She was not talking about anything else, but that Ren Ruyi would actually fall in love with a man. This was something she had never dared to think about before.
Suddenly, the guard in charge came to report that Marquis Changqing had come to visit and wanted to see Prince Li, Du Changshi, Ren Ruyi and Ning Yuanzhou by name.
Although the two parties just had a falling out yesterday, but today they came to visit in person, there was no reason to avoid it.
In the side courtyard of the post house, Zhou Chen was making wood carvings with the carving knife given to him by Ren Ruyi.
Jin Meiniang walked slowly and swayingly to sit opposite Zhou Chen.
"Master Zhou."
"Gang Leader Jin."
Zhou Chen stopped carving in his hand.
"Young Master Zhou is a friend of your Majesty, just call me Mei Niang."
Zhou Chen just smiled and said nothing. Although he had a favorable impression of Jin Meiniang, it was because of her loyalty and ability, but he had to control the level of intimacy.
"Young master, this carving knife is made of meteorite iron. I remember that Your Majesty once obtained a piece of meteorite iron. After forging the Qingyun Sword, a part of it remained."
"This was indeed given to me by Ruyi."
"I have never seen Your Majesty be so close to someone, Mr. Zhou, I hope you will not let Your Majesty down." Jin Meiniang's expression was serious and solemn.
Zhou Chen also looked at Jin Meiniang seriously and said slowly: "I am not a good person, but one thing is that I will not let down a woman who is really kind to me. Ruyi is the mother of my future child, and the same is true."
My reverse scale."
Jin Meiniang smiled sweetly: "I really can't imagine that your Majesty will get married and have children one day, and I am very much looking forward to this day."
Zhou Chen said: "You will see this day, it won't be too long."
"Then I'll wait."
Seeing Zhou Chen carving again, Jin Meiniang felt bored and asked curiously: "What are you carving?"
"It's nothing, just carving it for fun."
Jin Meiniang rolled her eyes and suddenly asked: "Right now, Marquis Changqing of Anguo is negotiating with Your Majesty and the others in the conference hall. I don't believe you can't see Marquis Changqing's attitude toward Your Majesty. Aren't you worried at all?
Or are you sitting here carving, but you are actually deliberately distracting yourself with carving?"
Zhou Chen paused, then continued.
"Gang Leader Jin is indeed a hero among girls who can control the Jinsha Gang, Jinbaozhan and Jinsha Tower. His brain power is really impressive."
"Brain supplement? What do you mean?"
"It's just random guessing and random association."
"Are you really not worried?"
Jin Meiniang didn't quite believe it: "Your Majesty said that the young master is most jealous."
Zhou Chen's face darkened, this girl really can say anything.
"Jealousy is jealousy, but do you know what factors are most important when two people want to be together forever?"
"Which ones?"
Jin Meiniang is in the best health and has a curious look on her face. Although she controls such a powerful gang, she is not a master in terms of relationships, otherwise she would not have scared Yu Shisan away in the first place.
"Trust and respect, I trust Ruyi. Since she said she wanted to be with me, I will not doubt her. Even if something like Li Tongguang happens, I will still believe in her; I respect her, she is her first
You are not my vassal, so I will not interfere with her choices and decisions."
Jin Meiniang was stunned, and it took her a while to regain her composure, then she smiled as brightly as a flower.
"I really don't know if you are too confident or too naive, but one thing I can be sure of is that you have a good sense and your Majesty will definitely not let you down."
"I think so too. My vision has always been good."
Although people's hearts are fickle, he has the ability to foresee things, coupled with his rich life experience and long time together, so he has already figured out eighty-nine points of what kind of person Ren Ruyi is, and he also knows what to do.
get along.
"Mr. Zhou, I have a question to ask you."
"About Yu Shisan?"
Jin Meiniang's expression froze. Before she could speak, Zhou Chen guessed what she was thinking. This feeling was really not good.
"Yes, actually now I understand why he left me in the first place, but I don't understand why he just wants to be a prodigal. Is there no one in the world who can make him stop?"
"You can't say that. Since you asked, let me tell you my understanding. Yu Shisan is my brother. The reason why he chose to be a prodigal son is naturally because he doesn't have to take responsibility and doesn't want to be responsible. As a man, who doesn't want a hundred flowers?
If you get hit, not a single leaf will touch you."
"Hearing what you said makes Yu Shisan even more hateful."
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "But he is still a scumbag, but he is still quite magnanimous. At least you just shouted at him on the surface and didn't think about what you would really do to him, right?"
Jin Meiniang did not deny it, but just smiled slightly. As Zhou Chen said, she had never thought about what she wanted to do to Shisan, but she was really unhappy in her heart that she had left Shisan without saying goodbye.
"You seem to see things very clearly, which makes me fall in love with you a little bit."
"Then don't, I'm afraid your lord will kill you."
"Giggle..."
Jin Meiniang laughed happily. It was obvious that Zhou Chen was not pedantic and could take a joke. Such a character was very suitable for his superior.
"Gang Leader Jin, there is something I want to ask you for help with."
In the meeting hall, Li Tongguang came with great momentum, but not long after, he was confused by Ren Ruyi and became dizzy. His whole person collapsed. He had to rely on his attendants and maids to support him when he walked. He fled in despair.
Got to the inn.
As soon as Li Tongguang left, Ren Ruyi found Zhou Chen. Without saying a word, he just hugged Zhou Chen and leaned against Zhou Chen's arms.
"Are you angry with your apprentice? I'll help you teach him a lesson and beat him until his teeth are all over the floor."
Ren Ruyi hugged Zhou Chen tightly and said in a low voice: "I'm fine. I just want to hold you and lean against you. I feel very at ease."
What happened to her apprentice Li Tongguang really made her very angry and angry, but she had almost vented her anger just now. What she needs now is not comfort, but to stay quietly with Zhou Chen.
If there is anyone else in this world who can make her open her heart, it must be Zhou Chen. She may not understand what love is, but she knows that being with Zhou Chen makes her feel at ease and relaxed.
The two hugged each other and leaned together quietly, feeling each other's presence.
"If you wish, shall we get married?"
"What?"
Ren Ruyi left Zhou Chen's arms, raised his head, and looked surprised.
Zhou Chen said it again with a serious expression.
"I said, let's get married."
Ren Ruyi just looked at Zhou Chen for a while, then she asked: "Why so sudden?"
In the past, he just wanted to have a child with Zhou Chen, but as they got along with each other during this time, her mind had changed and she really wanted to be with Zhou Chen.
So when she heard Zhou Chen talk about getting married, she was not only shocked, but also happy in her heart. But she was more confused about why Zhou Chen was so sudden.
"Because we have arrived in Anguo, I know very well what you are going to do next and what risks you are taking. Logically speaking, I shouldn't tell you this at this time, because it will burden you; but after thinking about it, I
I thought about it, but decided to speak out. I don’t know what will happen in the future. If we both die by then, we won’t be able to be buried together legitimately.”
"That's why I thought, before we do those dangerous things, we should get married first. Even if something happens to us in the future, we can legitimately be buried together as husband and wife, so that we can truly live and die together.
We are in the same quilt, and we die in the same hole."
Hearing what Zhou Chen said, Ren Ruyi couldn't help but feel moved. She was used to being alone. She and Zhou Chen got along very well during this period. If they could become each other's support, it seemed like a good choice.
"But is it appropriate at this time?"
"Of course it's appropriate. Our marriage is our own business. You and I don't have any relatives, so we don't need to make it so grand. Of course, if you want three matchmakers, six hires, and eight sedans, I can do that too...
"
Ren Ruyi covered Zhou Chen's mouth and said with tender eyes: "I don't need that, and I don't care, but are you really willing to get married to me and stay together for the rest of your life?"
"certainly."
"You know I'm an assassin. If you dare to deceive me, I will kill you."
"Then you may be overthinking, and this won't happen."
"I agreed, when do you want it?"
"tomorrow."
"tomorrow?"
"Yes, I have left Jin Meiniang to arrange the necessary things, and they can be delivered tomorrow."
Ren Ruyi stared at Zhou Chen with playful eyes: "It seems that you are already prepared. Are you so sure that I will agree to you?"
"I believe in one sentence, sincerity is what makes gold and stone open. Even if it is grinding, I can grind it out and you agree. What's more, you have me in your heart."
Zhou Chen's expression was sincere, and he gently hugged Ren Ruyi into his arms, holding her and smelling her fragrance.
Just as the two were warming up to each other, Yu Shisan suddenly ran over and said that Li Tongguang's convoy had been intercepted. Ning Yuanzhou had decided to go to support and asked them if they wanted to go together.
When Ren Ruyi heard that Li Tongguang had been intercepted and killed, her expression suddenly changed slightly. Even though she was very dissatisfied with Li Tongguang's actions, she was her apprentice after all, so she naturally didn't want anything to happen to Li Tongguang.
Zhou Chen held down Ren Ruyi's Rou Yi and said, "Leave it to me. I'll go with you. Don't go, you'll be exposed easily."
"Can……"
"Don't worry, I'm not that narrow-minded, not to mention you have agreed to marry me, how could I not consider your feelings and leave it to me."
When Ren Ruyi heard the words, he didn't say much, and just told him: "Okay, Jiu'er is also a hard-working child. Now he has finally achieved his current achievements. He shouldn't have trouble here. If something happens to him, he will be punished."
Groups are actually not a good thing."
"Okay, I know, just wait here for the good news."
Zhou Chen walked with Yu Shisan. On the way, Yu Shisan asked in a gossipy manner: "Just now you said that Miss Ruyi agreed to marry you. What do you mean, you want to get married?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just feel sorry for you. Man, once we get married, this life is over." Yu Shisan shook his head and sighed.
Zhou Chen scolded: "You know nothing. You can't explain it to a so-called prodigal son like you. Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and save people."
Yu Shisan suggested thiefly: "Who are you going to save? According to me, just let the Marquis of Changqing be killed. That kid can tell at a glance that he has ill intentions towards Miss Ruyi, so I'll kill you."
It’s also peaceful.”
"Whether he dies or not, it is not a threat to me. I am worried about you. Ruyi is right. If he dies, it will be even more difficult for you to welcome back His Majesty."
"That kid looks at you like he wants to kill you. Do you think he can be our help?"
