Guan Jiyu has become accustomed to Jiang Yingnian's sudden change of attitude. He has always been like this. He behaves well when he is happy. If he suddenly fails to say a word well, he will instantly turn against him.
It had been such a long time since he arrived at the military camp. Guan Jiyu thought that his bad temper would be somewhat worn away, but at this moment, his appearance was no different from before.
Guan Jiyu said amusedly: "What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Yingnian remained silent and didn't look at her. Guan Jiyu said again: "I didn't provoke you. Why are you so angry again?"
Jiang Yingnian said angrily: "I think you are so worthless, and I'm angry about why a worthless guy like you came out of our Jiang Mansion!"
He added: "You know the feeling of hating iron and not being able to become steel, right?"
Guan Jiyu probably knew what he was arrogant about, and she did not avoid the topic, saying: "Why am I useless? Do you think that with my current status, I am not worthy of his Second Young Master Xiang?!"
Guan Jiyu's voice suddenly became louder. Jiang Yingnian was startled and looked at her in surprise, saying: "Where did I mean that?! When did I say that you are not worthy of anyone?"
"
Guan Jiyu didn't listen to him and continued to say angrily: "I understand that saying some words without knowing it does not mean that other people will think that way. I am from a lowly background, and my humble body is not worthy of having a relationship with Mr. Xiang.
With his background and achievements, there must be many people who admire him! But I just simply like him, what's wrong with me? Even if he expressed the same meaning to me, I still dare not
It's easy to have something with him..."
Her eyes were red, she bit her lip out of habit, looked directly at Jiang Yingnian, and said: "I have been waiting, I feel so tired, I am waiting for the day when the war here will end,
I'm waiting for the day when I can kill the eldest son's enemy with my own hands. I'm also waiting for the day when I can rely on my own efforts to have the glory that can truly match him. At that time... I will stand upright before him again.
Beside me!"
These words made Jiang Yingnian's head buzz, and it took him a long time to calm down.
He lowered his head, clasped his fingers, and said, "You are working so hard, can't it be for yourself?"
Guan Jiyu was startled for a moment and said, "What?"
Jiang Yingnian raised his head and glanced at her, with a stiff smile on his face, and said: "Do you have to do this for him? Can't you become better for yourself?" A flash passed through his eyes.
With a trace of desolation, he said: "Even if you must be doing it for someone, I have nothing to say. But Xiang Lincheng, are you sure he is worthy of you..."
"It's worth it!" Guan Jiyu looked at him and said firmly: "I think he is worth it, he is worth it!"
"Okay, okay." Jiang Yingnian laughed angrily. He waved his hand and said, "Since you said so, I won't argue with you for now."
Guan Jiyu frowned and said, "Why do you have to meddle in my affairs?"
Jiang Yingnian stood up, walked to her, and said, "Guan Jiyu, do you think it bothers you that I am meddling in your affairs?" He locked his eyes tightly with hers and said, "If you make it clear today,
Just tell me that I made you feel upset. Well, from now on, I will never interfere with your business again. I, Jiang Yingnian, will do what I say."
Guan Jiyu lowered his head, bit his lip, and stared at his toes without saying a word.
His eyes were like a heavy shackle, and Guan Jiyu could not escape or avoid it. Jiang Yingnian was not going to let her fool his question with her silence, so he said again: "Answer me, as long as you say yes,
I will never interfere with your business again."
Guan Jiyu knew that she couldn't avoid this question, and an unspeakable irritation suddenly appeared in her heart. She raised her head and said, "I just hope that you will not interfere in this matter between me and the Second Young Master Xiang, okay?"
Jiang Yingnian squinted his eyes slightly, maintaining the waiting expression on his face. As her words fell, he gradually lost his senses and gradually regained his composure.
This was not the reaction Guan Jiyu expected.
Any time in the past, whenever Guan Jiyu said something similar, he would arrogantly deny it, and his negative attitude would also
It was his usual arrogant attitude. Guan Jiyu thought that he would scold her angrily, and that he would scold her as "brainless" and "being fooled like an idiot" and so on.
But he was so calm that he seemed like a different person.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Jiang Yingnian's mouth, and he responded: "Okay, I understand."
He raised his steps and was about to go out. Before leaving, he did not forget to say: "If one day, you find that what you firmly believe in is not what you thought, I hope you will not regret it."
Guan Jiyu said: "No. Even if I regret it, I will not come to you."
Jiang Yingnian didn't say anything else. He decisively walked out of the room, leaving Guan Jiyu alone in the room.
On the other side, Xiang Ju'an and his party finally arrived at the northern border area. Xiang Lincheng had not been to the north for a long time. Now it is a scorching summer, and the land in Xuli has already been extremely hot. The north is desolate and mostly covered with smoke and sand.
Walking into this area suddenly made people feel even more unbearably hot.
Xiang Ju'an saw that Xiang Lincheng's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and asked with concern: "Lincheng, you haven't been here for a long time, are you still not used to it?"
Xiang Lincheng said: "It's okay. People who practice martial arts can't withstand a little bit of wind and sun."
He quietly glanced at Xiang Ju'an to make sure that his brother was not in a bad mood at the moment, and then cautiously asked: "We will arrive at the main city of Yanjiang Corridor soon. Who is in charge here now?"
Xiang Ju'an said: "Speaking of which, there is no one else. Originally, that boy named Helan was guarding this city, but now that this commotion has happened, I haven't had time to find someone to replace him! Now he is still in name.
I'm in charge."
Xiang Lincheng said "hmm" and said, "Brother, how do you plan to handle this matter?"
Xiang Ju'an sighed and said, "I get a headache when I mention this matter. No, I thought about it all the way, but I couldn't come up with a solution."
"I guess you don't want to punish him, right?" Xiang Lincheng turned his head and looked at Xiang Juan: "Brother, you know every move of He Lanlan. If he makes any inappropriate move, you
I've already stopped it, so why wait until now?"
"Of course I don't want to touch him." Xiang Ju'an looked gloomy and thought for a moment: "Even those few mouths in the court were shouting that an explanation must be given. Emperor Shu also meant the same thing. He
I don’t want Hechiliu to put a little pressure on him, lest Hechiliu will be unhappy.”
Xiang Ju'an sneered coldly and said: "If I can be criticized for a trivial matter, then am I still Xiang Ju'an? Those people who only eat the food from the court and do nothing,
A bunch of rats jumping up and down, they underestimate me, Xiang Juan."
Xiang Lincheng said: "To be fair, He Lanlan did a good job regarding the construction of the Yanjiang Corridor. No one is qualified to talk about it. It was at this critical juncture that a life was lost on his hands.
, it’s not easy to deal with..."
"Let's go and have a look."
Xiang Juan's eyes were firm and majestic, and no one could tell what he was thinking.
The soldiers guarding the gate saw Xiang Ju'an and others approaching from a distance, and could not suppress their excitement. Several people stepped forward and said, "General, you are finally back!"
Xiang Ju'an asked: "Where is Lord Helan?"
The two soldiers standing at the front looked at each other and said hesitantly: "Master Helan... Master Helan, we haven't seen Master Helan since that incident. We don't know where he went..."
"Asshole!" Xiang Ju'an said angrily: "It's such a big deal, why are you panicking? I haven't come here yet, and I haven't said how to deal with it yet. He actually ran away and couldn't even find anyone!"
Xiang Ju'an was originally in a relatively calm mood, but when he heard the news that He Lanlan was missing, he couldn't help but said angrily: "Where can he go with his love? Why should he leave this city alone?"
Xiang Ju'an was so angry that Xiang Lincheng didn't dare to say anything, so he asked the soldier guarding the door, "Didn't Master Helan leave anything for you?"
The soldier shook his head and said: "No, we still listened to what they said about Master Helan killing the Hechiliu refugee that day. Alas, Master Helan is really unlucky to meet such a group of scoundrels.
!
"
Xiang Lincheng glanced at the beginning of the conversation and asked, "What should I say? This incident happened for no reason, right? Do you know what the reason was?"
The soldier sighed: "It's not because of the group of Hechiliu refugees nearby. When Master Helan first stationed at the Yanjiang Corridor, there were many Hechiliu refugees here. Master Guan was also there at that time, and she also
I know! Master Helan felt sorry for the refugees, so he took some people in to work in the city and gave them a bite to eat."
"The Herculean people taken in by Master Helan are okay. The group of people who made trouble were because Master Helan built a city for defense. They had been here several times before, making noises there, saying that Master Helan's move destroyed us.
Friendly relations with the Kingdom of Hercules."
Xiang Lincheng said: "Then the Hechiliu refugees killed by Lord Helan this time were because they repeatedly made trouble...?"
"My subordinates think it shouldn't be the case."
Another soldier thought about it carefully and said: "Master Helan is not the kind of person who has an impatient temper. He has never been impatient about anything big or small in the city. Just by looking at the few Hechiliu refugees,
Even if you shout loudly, you won’t be able to make your master deal with such a heavy hand..."
The soldier said: "General, General Shuoyuan, our gatekeepers don't know what's going on inside. You'd better ask the people inside. Oh, by the way, Xiao Qingyuan! You can go find Xiao Qingyuan! That girl is in trouble
Follow Lord Helan every step of the way, maybe she will know something!"
Xiang Lincheng glanced at Xiang Ju'an, and Xiang Ju'an said, "Go in and take a look. I don't know what's going on inside."
"Yes." Xiang Lincheng signaled the gatekeepers to open the city gate, and everyone slowly entered the main city of Yanjiang Corridor.
