It's not scary to travel through a book, you can change your fate as a cannon fodder by yoursel

Weng Xiaoxiao was secretly surprised. She didn't expect Dongxue to be Mr. Gu's person and discovered her secret so quickly. She was definitely not an ordinary person.

She had known Mr. Gu from books, and she had heard some things from Yang Shuo when they met last time. She was very curious about how Mr. Gu noticed her.

"Girl, sit down and talk."

Weng Xiaoxiao politely invited her that since she was Mr. Gu's messenger, she could no longer be treated as a maid.

Dongxue thanked him and sat down dignifiedly opposite Weng Xiaoxiao. "The master knows General Yang very well and is curious about who he is engaged to, so he sent me to take a look. Sure enough, the general has excellent taste."

Although it was an opening remark, Weng Xiaoxiao didn't want to beat around the bush with her and say some polite words, "Sir, you are very busy and won't do boring things. If you have something to say, you can just speak directly."

Dong Xue smiled faintly, "Of course I'm not here to see what you look like. If you were an ordinary person, I would disappear automatically. Now, I want to have a good chat with you."

"Thank you for the compliment." Weng Xiaoxiao poured tea for both parties and listened quietly to what Dongxue wanted to say.

"Sir, you are a minister, but you still rely on King Tuo. You have your own reasons, but it is definitely not for fame and fortune. The experience of the Gu family and him made him understand the difficulties of being a minister. It is based on this that I came here. When two armies face off, the outcome is unpredictable, but there will be a winner and a loser. It's either you die or I die."

Dong Xue's expression gradually became serious. "But the soldiers fighting on the front line shouldn't be the ones who fight to the death. Everyone serves his own master, and no one is wrong."

These words touched Weng Xiaoxiao's heart. If they had only fought on the battlefield and had not harmed innocent people, then no one would have been wrong. The only one who was wrong was the leader, the king.

"I won't interfere in any military affairs of the general and there's nothing I can do." They belonged to different camps and had conflicts of interest, so Weng Xiaoxiao didn't dare to promise anything.

After hearing this, Dongxue did not show any disappointment. If Weng Xiaoxiao had said something to take charge of everything at this moment, their conversation would have ended.

"Sir, you don't want to be the bow that is hidden in the future, nor do you want the general to be the eagle that is shot. The Tatars in the northwest are ready to make a move, and the grasslands are not peaceful. We should not waste the strength of the Qin Dynasty like this."

This is true, but between the two brothers fighting for the throne, who would be willing to give up his life in vain? How can this war end without a winner?

"Then sir, do you have a solution that can satisfy both?"

It is worry-free to talk to smart people. Dongxue looked at Weng Xiaoxiao with appreciation, "If Prince Tuo wins, you will retire after your success. As for the general, Prince Tuo values ​​talent and can tolerate him."

Weng Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. "This is a beautiful vision, but you also said that the outcome is unpredictable."

Dong Xue smiled and said nothing. "I have two purposes for coming to you to tell you. First, I hope you can take good care of General Yang and don't let him follow the old marquis' path. Second, I want to protect Madam Yang and don't let the villains harm her."

These are the two thorns in Weng Xiaoxiao's heart.

The fact that Dongxue drank the bowl of sobering soup showed that she had no intention of harming Weng Xiaoxiao. The fact that he raised these two points also showed that Mr. Gu did not want Yang Shuo to be sacrificed in vain.

She didn't want to see that kind of ending the most, but it was extremely difficult to do.

Weng Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment, then slowly uttered a few words, "I have no choice but to take care of the general and his wife."

"I knew I hadn't misjudged you. My mission has been successfully completed." Dongxue raised the teacup to show respect.

"I believe in the goodwill you want to convey, sir. If possible, please show mercy to the lady." Weng Xiaoxiao replied.

Dongxue took a sip of tea, looked at the teacup, and said expressionlessly: "It's good to know your original intention, sir. It's not easy for anyone. You can only rely on yourself for everything."

Weng Xiaoxiao nodded. She was forcing the other person to do something. It was already a taboo to give a suggestion in private. Even if Mr. Gu was willing, he still needed King Tuo's approval.

As for the ending, it can only be decided by each of them showing their magical powers.

"This home is very warm. I will miss the short time I spent here." If I had no mission, it would be nice to be an accountant in a workshop, Dongxue smiled and lowered her head.

Everyone has their own choices and persistence, and Weng Xiaoxiao has nothing to say.

After she came here, she had no female friends except for a few encounters with Yang Lin. Although she admired the person in front of her, it was not a good time to make friends. "I hope we can have another chance to sit down and drink tea together."

Have it?

Dongxue looked out the window. A man will die for his friend. There is no turning back. "Your Mingqian tea is just average. Please treat me to something better next time."

How long will it be next time?

They looked into each other's eyes and smiled calmly, showing a sense of mutual admiration.

Having said all, Dongxue stood up and bowed, "I'll take my leave."

"Take care, young lady!" Weng Xiaoxiao returned the greeting.

Watching the graceful figure disappear into the distance, Weng Xiaoxiao stood at the door in a daze for a long time.

......

"Master, this is an invitation from the Ouyang Mansion."

Weng Xiaoxiao took it and saw that it was Ouyang Hua who came back and wanted to invite him to a gathering at Yayuan.

Where is Yayuan? How come she has never heard of it? She asked.

"Master, this is a newly opened brothel."

Weng Xiaoxiao looked up at Zhong Shan and asked, "How did you know?"

This was a difficult question to answer. Zhong Shan regretted speaking so quickly and scratched his head in embarrassment. "I overheard someone talking about it, Master. I don't have the money to go to that kind of place."

"Don't go there even if you have money. It's a bottomless pit."

Zhong Shan nodded repeatedly, "The servant of the Ouyang family is still waiting, what do you think of your reply?"

Weng Xiaoxiao closed the invitation and returned it to Zhong Shan, "Just say I'm sick and will treat Master Ouyang to a meal another day to make amends."

"Yes." Zhong Shan did not dare to disobey, and although he felt sorry for his master, he did not dare to show it.

"Ping An, go to the workshop and get a new product for Master Ouyang."

She would not follow her friends to a brothel. Even if she did not do anything, it would not be appropriate. Why bother to stir up trouble during such a troubled time? Whether Ouyang Hua was happy to treat her or wanted to complain, she should give her something to comfort him.

Ping An took the note and left.

"How come Master Ouyang has become a bad person after his trip to the capital? He learns to drink and have sex like others, tsk tsk..." Chunxia couldn't stand it anymore.

"Literati and celebrities love to be romantic. I can't care what others think. I just won't go."

"When you were still a scholar and a young man, it wouldn't be abnormal even if you drank some wine. But as you get older, if it happens once, it will happen again. I'm afraid you will have to distance yourself from these friends." Feng Gu reminded him.

"You are right, I will pay attention to it."

If friends can't play together, they will naturally become distant. It's nothing to be sorry about, after all, no one can always be on the same path.
