Chapter 1274: I Still Suspect Until Now (I)

"...After the Southwest War, all parties in the world had their eyes on the Chinese Army...Wen Shoubin was bewitched by the great scholar Tian Song and others. Although he was engaged in the flesh trade, he also felt that it was quite righteous. At that time, he took me and five sisters to the southwest to do something...He originally wanted to use me and several sisters to corrupt senior officials in the Southwest Army, but after arriving in the southwest, in order to get in touch with several great scholars, he had to send my eldest sister, second sister, and third sister out to sleep with him. Only in this way did he get an audience with the great scholar Guan Shanhai..."

"... Guan Shanhai... Oh, Guan Haoran from southern Henan, this man is quite famous for his literary talent... What did he receive after the meeting?"

"... I gave my fourth and fifth sisters to him. He likes younger girls and wanted me, but Wen Shoubin felt something was wrong... He finally said I was easier to control and wanted me to seduce... seduce Ning Xi, the eldest son of the Ning family..."

"...Well, Ning Xi...did you see anything that left a deep impression on you when you went to Chengdu from outside?"

"...My five sisters, Wen Shoubin and I entered Sichuan by water... Actually, as soon as we entered Sichuan, we felt the difference from the outside world..."

The wind was getting hotter in the morning. In the golden light of the banyan tree, two women were chatting casually. Zhou Pei was graceful and friendly, and there didn't seem to be much surprise on her face even at the most surprising news. Qu Longjun put her legs together and lowered her head slightly, with appropriate respect and restraint, but no matter what questions the other party asked, she stated everything truthfully.

It was like a peaceful morning, time for chatting.

"...Have you seen Ning Xi?"

"…Never."

"...Then how did you see Ning Ji?"

"…The truth was revealed before it even began…Only that night did we learn that Mr. Ning was on guard, and Guan Shanhai couldn't even leave the house before he gave the order. Later, rumors spread that he had colluded with the Chinese Army and betrayed everyone…In fact, until then, we had no idea what Wen…Wen Shoubin had done. He wanted to take the six of us sisters to Chengdu to cause trouble, but as soon as we got in touch, the five sisters were separated. He wanted me to…seduce the eldest son of the Ning family, but before I even met him, someone dragged us that night, saying that we had to escape quickly because something had happened, so we fled in a daze…In fact, if you think about it carefully, we didn't do anything wrong…"

"...Pfft...you go to Chengdu and encounter...it's like this..."

Zhou Pei couldn't help but smile and reached out to touch the girl's hair.

"... Later, everyone fled in a mess. The offenders were a group of people named Huang. On the way, we met two killers who were said to be very powerful... The Huang family said that they had previously known a bad doctor in the Chinese army who was willing to do things for money, so they took us to find him... When we arrived at the yard, we found a teenager in his teens, about the same age as me. There were 20 people at the time, so they kidnapped him..."

"...It's... him?"

"……Um."

“…and then someone came to rescue me?”

"...No...The little boy at that time...well, Mr. Ning, he looked a little soft. Maybe he didn't want to be bullied, so he always had a stern face, like this, which is different from now...There were many of us that night, some people looked at him badly, and some even wanted to hit him. Later in the early morning, he couldn't help but started to fight, he was alone..."

"...He was alone. He must have been even younger then..."

"...Well, he was alone. There were more than 20 people in the yard, including martial arts masters. They started fighting. Two assassin masters were injured and were recuperating in the room with the others. He threw something in and there was a loud bang...Then he dragged the ears of the leader surnamed Huang and beat him around in the yard. Both of his ears were gone. He screamed so loudly. Later, I was pushed in and chopped to the ground..."

"...He...beat you?"

"...No, it was a man named Huang. He pushed me to block the knife. I didn't know what happened and I fell to the ground...I thought I was going to die. More than 20 people died and the house collapsed...But he was a doctor and saved me..."

"...Well, he was alone...more than twenty people..."

"...I later learned that he had been on the battlefield and killed Jin Gou...Afterwards, I stayed in the Huaxia Army's clinic for a while. The superiors said that I killed people casually and saved people casually, and asked him to pay for my medicine...One day, they gave me a book called "Women Hold Up Half the Sky"...From that time on, I slowly figured out what kind of place the Huaxia Army was..."

Qu Longjun clasped her hands on her legs and spoke softly about her experiences along the way. Zhou Pei originally interjected a few words and asked about some things she was interested in, but gradually stopped asking. Listening to Qu Longjun talk about her many experiences in the southwest, and then her decision, she left the southwest and traveled east, she talked about her arrival in Jiangnan, everything she saw about the Fair Party, and even her experience of joining the White Rakshasa.

Zhou Pei naturally had feelings for Jiangning and had many questions in mind, but Qu Longjun's description was detailed and concise. In the seemingly casual narration, he easily outlined the current situation of the city, and then went to the Fair Party's conference, talking about the chaos and the reunion in the chaos. Some embellishments were deliberately made here, such as the rumors about the five-foot demon and the four-foot demon, which were not told to Zhou Pei, but the fight between Ning Ji and Lin Zongwu, the world's number one man, when they reunited was exaggerated, including his previous single-handed killing of Wang Nanda, which was also mentioned.

Zhou Pei had heard of Lin Zongwu, but didn't know much about him. She was even less clear about Wang Nanda's status and position. However, after listening to Qu Longjun's introduction, she knew that Ning Ji was indeed a hero in his youth. In fact, if she told these stories to Yue Yinping and Yue Yun, they would probably be extremely envious.

After that, the two of them fled the war and hid in the mountains. After living together for several months, they came to Fujian to set up a stall until now...

Zhou Pei listened to her talk about these things until the end, then she suddenly leaned over and stared into the girl's eyes: "Do you like him?"

Qu Longjun faced the princess's gaze, then nodded slightly: "Yes."

Zhou Pei reached out and touched her hair: "You are good, you can be his good wife."

"Yeah." Qu Longjun took a heavier breath and nodded vigorously.

Zhou Pei then stood up completely and walked to the side of the courtyard. After a few steps, she turned around and looked at the girl who stood up to see her off: "Why did you tell me everything when I asked you?"

Before Qu Longjun could answer, Zhou Pei raised a finger and said, "I wonder if you are like your father, always caring about the Wu Dynasty and being loyal and righteous?"

Qu Longjun took a breath and hesitated for a moment: "I heard that... Your Highness was also a disciple of Mr. Ning in the past."

Zhou Pei looked at her, pursed her lips, and then slowly, gradually revealed a smile.

"He...taught me arithmetic."

With her long skirt swaying, Zhou Pei turned around and walked away.

Leaving the courtyard and passing through the corridor of the princess's mansion, Zhou Pei returned to the courtyard where she lived and sat down in the shade of a tree. During this time, Zhou Fuyang came over to her and asked her to hug him. He said something to her, and then ran away. Zhou Pei outlined the situation in the southwest in her mind - she could get some of this information from many people, and this time, through Qu Longjun's statement, she got a more interesting perspective.

Near noon, the emperor came over, with a little fatigue in his eyes, and also landed in the courtyard. The first thing he asked was: "Where is Zhou Fuyang?"

"He ran out to play."

"What are you playing at? Call her over here. I'll take her to collect the debt for Banbantang."

"What debt are you asking for? The Ning family kid is no longer here."

"Ah? Why? Who asked him to leave? It's so dangerous outside..."

"Cheng Zhouhai promised to keep the girl as a hostage and allow him to run around. There was fighting in the city today, how could he bear it? He had already gone out to join in the fun. Before he left, he even cursed at the Yue siblings, saying that the Wu Dynasty court and the Yue family were incompetent bastards."

"What...what what?"

"The Wu Dynasty court is an incompetent bastard."

"...Oh, that does make some sense."

Junwu lay down on the chair, put his hands on his stomach, and cursed casually.

Zhou Pei looked over from the side and asked: "How is the peacemaking going in the palace?"

"Master Li and Master Hu are both virtuous scholars. They knew they would have to take the blame, but in the end they still sympathized with the court's difficulties and agreed to come out to preside over this matter. Tong Chaomei... scolded me, saying that when you lose morality, you lose virtue, then benevolence, when you lose benevolence, then righteousness, when you lose righteousness, then propriety. Propriety is the thinness of loyalty and trust and the beginning of chaos..."

"Master Tong is studying the Tao Te Ching. He is talking about the fact that you keep clamoring for reform, which is a sign of chaos in the world. A sage should rule by doing nothing and not make too much trouble..."

"Yes, I told him that those who oppose are the movement of the Tao, and those who are weak are the use of the Tao. We are weak, so we have to use the Tao. But he scolded me again, saying that I was sophistry and unlearned..."

"and then?"

"I asked him for money."

"… As long as the message gets through, that's fine."

The siblings are now the hope of the world and the last face of the Wu Dynasty, but to be honest, there are many conflicts in the small place, and it is common for many people to stab them behind their backs every day. The rice warehouse is often empty, so the face is thick. After exchanging information and being quiet for a while, Jun Wu realized something was wrong.

"Royal sister, you're acting a little strange... Ning Ji ran away. Did you go to see the little girl next to him?"

Zhou Pei, who was sitting next to him, smiled and said, "I saw it."

"How about it?"

"A very impressive little girl."

"How to say?"

"She told me about her life experience and her story with Xiao Ningji. I tried to get to the bottom of her, but from beginning to end, she said what I wanted to hear. According to what the teacher said back then, she was quick-witted and clear-minded. I didn't want to interrupt her after she had been talking for long. This girl has been trained very well."

"Training..." Jun Wu sat up and frowned.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. He was born a skinny guy and he confessed it. Well, it was our Wu Dynasty that did the wrong thing. We were in troubled times and everyone had their own fate... But do you want to hear the story about our little Ning Ji?"

Jun Wu has been in a high position for many years. He thought there was something wrong with Qu Longjun just now. He frowned with murderous intent. Only now did he relax and slowly lie down.

"Then tell me..."

He looked lazy, but after a while, his expression began to become interesting...

I copied the top products...

******
Outside the princess's mansion, in Fuzhou city, several disturbances of varying sizes were ongoing.

The court's inventory was at the bottom, and the emperor had to provide relief to the victims. On the one hand, this meant that the court's life was at the bottom, and on the other hand, it also meant that it was becoming increasingly dangerous. People like Huang Shengyuan, under the instigation of Chen Shuangran, began to commit crimes in the city and assassinate opponents. There were also several large families who felt that their status was dangerous and released more private forces to start disrupting the situation in Fuzhou.

Some of these assassination attempts were successful, while others failed. The disorder in public security was limited in scope, but the real problem was that many middle-level gentry in Fuzhou had already felt the threat of attacks from both sides and their safety was in jeopardy.

Southeast of the city, near a waterway called Yinfu Bridge, a man wearing a bamboo hat stood up from the bushes and watched several men running in panic being led onto two black-sailed boats moored by the water.

His eyes were confused, but then he chased after him.

He carefully identified the people on the boat, and then shouted: "Nian Tong, Nian Xia, here! Here! I am the person sent by Miss Chen to pick you up -"

The boatman had already pushed the boat away from the shore. A bloody man in the black boat poked his head out and looked over here in confusion. The boatman cursed: "You bastards, you are sending Hero Nian and his men to their deaths!"

"If you were going to die, why would you let me stay here to support you... Who are you..."

"Maybe you want to silence us." The boatman turned around and said something to several "heroes" in the boat. The "heroes" were obviously persuaded and backed off.

The man on the shore looked confused, but then he stretched out his hand and said, "I know you! I know you!" As he spoke, he picked up a wooden stick from the ground and threw it onto the water. He was a good martial artist, and the stick stabbed into the cabin with a loud sound, but was then opened by the boatman with a bamboo pole.

"You are the subordinate of the Fish King. You are the subordinate of the Fish King. The Fish King Gao Xingzong is an old man who is about to die. He dares to get involved in this matter. Isn't he afraid of death? Tell him that I, Wei, remember him - Miss Chen remembers him -"

The man on the boat suddenly propped up the bamboo pole again, gritting his teeth and saying, "Don't think you're the only ones who are hard to mess with. The fish king asked me to tell you that there's also a deadly king of hell above him. You know who it is. You better survive first—"

"you--"

The man on the shore wanted to curse again, but suddenly he realized the meaning of the other party's words. He turned around abruptly, drew his sword, and in his eyes he saw the "King of Hell" that the other party had mentioned.

The other party has walked over, with a terrifying and murderous look in his eyes.

"You're not dead yet..."

They had met once the day before, when they were besieging Tie Tianying at the foot of Jiuxian Mountain. Wei Sanhua, nicknamed "Knife-holding Tiger", was one of the masters led by Tunyun. This young man covered with flowered cloth was supposed to be an ally, but halfway through the fight, he began to attack indiscriminately, causing heavy casualties on their side. When they fled to the mountain, one of their friends wanted to teach the other side a lesson, but the young man was so cruel and ruthless that the friend became a lesson instead, leaving a deep impression on everyone.

He had seen fellow outlaws with eccentric personalities, but he had rarely seen one so brutal and bloodthirsty. Theoretically, the other party should be guilty, but for some reason, when they exchanged glances, Wei Sanhua felt that the coldness and murderous intent on the other party seemed to have increased several times compared to that day, and it was a naked and unconcealed raging rage.

There was no way to retreat. Two balls of knife light suddenly exploded. The man screamed hysterically. On this sunny road, amazing light and fire exploded, but then, one ball of knife light forcefully smashed into the other. The moment Wei Sanhua stepped back, the long knife split the muscles and smashed the bones and began to explode, extending wildly over his body.

His upper body was shattered and rushed across the road...
