"Wow!"

"what!"

Everyone was so shocked by the coolness with which Ji Nanzheng dismounted from his horse that they were speechless and exclaimed “Wow, Ah” in unison.

Ji Nanzheng has stepped down, which is good.

Wan Zhou secretly looked at the man in front of her through the curtain.

He was wearing a helmet that covered most of his face, but that couldn't hide the sharpness of his eyes and brows, with a tall and straight figure, and slender limbs. He was even more handsome and solemn than what he had heard in the rumors.

There seemed to be an invisible barrier around him that made people afraid to approach.

So this is the style of General Ji?

Sure enough, seeing it is better than hearing it a hundred times.

In the past year, Wan Zhou has seen many men of all kinds, gentle, rough, arrogant, humble, and many more, but she has never seen anyone like Ji Nanzheng, who is uniquely attractive in both appearance and temperament. She has never seen anyone like him, not even a similar one.

His temperament and appearance are so aggressive that it's no wonder those women threw their restraints into the middle of the street. To be fair, it's not shameful to be crazy about such a gifted hero.

After Ji Nanzheng dismounted, a group of soldiers also dismounted and began to disperse the group of women who were bold enough to rush onto the street to see Ji Nanzheng.

"Whoever gave you the courage, scatter."

The crowd, who were asked to disperse, began to disperse slowly to both sides with a sense of reluctance.

Wan Zhou took a deep breath and took two small steps towards Ji Nanzheng before anyone came to clear her out.

"General Ji, can you say something?"

When the soldiers who were chasing away saw Wan Zhou approaching, they turned around to stop him, but Ji Nanzheng waved him away.

"Are you Gu Wanzhou?" Ji Nanzheng's voice sounded like an interrogation from afar, soft but powerful.

He actually knew?

A big question mark suddenly appeared in Wan Zhou's mind.

"Yes." Wan Zhou replied softly.

She looked to both sides and saw that the crowd had dispersed. Perhaps to protect Ji Nanzheng, the soldiers were spread out on the road, forming a semicircular protective circle.

She and Ji Nanzheng were in the arc circle.

"So why did you stop me?" Ji Nanzheng's voice was as clear as a mountain spring, and also as cold as a mountain spring.

bar?

She was obviously pushed out, so her eyes don't need to be so bright all the time.

"Just like them, I want to see the general's triumphant return." Wan Zhou said softly under the curtain.

Hearing this, Ji Nanzheng's eyes moved slightly, revealing a faint sneer.

"Miss Gu asked her maid to come out just to see me. This general is honored."

Ji Nanzheng's voice was casual, and the joking tone was obvious.

He was sitting on the horse, sitting high and able to see far. Wan Zhou was pushed out by her maid, and he happened to see this.

It was this bold action that made him guess the identity of the woman wearing the veil.

He learned about Gu Wanzhou's donation and marriage proposal through a letter from home. The letter described Wanzhou as a woman who would do anything to marry into the Duke's Mansion.

He thought so too. He was loved by countless women, and he knew it. In his mind, Gu Wanzhou was just a woman who was brave enough, had lively ideas, and had enough money to like him.

It is not an exaggeration to say that they will do anything to achieve their goals.

Now the woman was standing in front of her, two steps away. She was slender and wearing a veil, so her face could not be seen. But in order to block her, she asked her maid to push out of the crowd?

Didn't she know that intercepting soldiers in the street would be a serious crime? Did she really think that only she knew about her little trick?

He is indeed bold and unscrupulous.

Ji Nanzheng was a general on the battlefield, and he was naturally alert to unusual people and things. He was curious about why Gu Wanzhou blocked him in public, so he turned over and dismounted.

Wan Zhou was caught in the play he directed and acted in, and was slightly embarrassed for a moment.

Fortunately, the veil blocked it and no one else could see it.

Since she saw through him, she got straight to the point: "I just want to ask, the general will not refuse the marriage, right?"

In order to avoid any trouble, Wan Zhou kept the sound within the range that Ji Nanzheng could hear but the surrounding onlookers could not hear.

"You are quite self-aware." Ji Nanzheng's voice was not loud, but each word seemed to carry a heavy power that made people's nerves tense.

"Of course." Wan Zhou was shocked by Ji Nanzheng's aura and answered quickly and honestly.

A hint of dark amusement flashed across Ji Nanzheng's eyes.

"Sorry." He said nonchalantly, with one hand on the horse's back, "Miss Gu's donation of a huge sum of money to the court is something that I admire, but one thing is for another, marriage is not a business."

As early as three years ago, when the Emperor wanted to marry Princess Jingyi to him, he said that he was willing to follow the Emperor's arrangements in other matters, but he wanted to make the decision himself regarding marriage.

He must listen to his heart, just like the book says, and if his heart beats for a woman one day, that woman will be his choice for this life.

Gu Wanzhou, no matter what kind of woman she was, tying her up with him in this way undoubtedly had ulterior motives, and he would never accept it.

"This general must reject the marriage proposal." Ji Nanzheng's voice was still low and heavy, and he rejected it decisively without leaving any suspense.

Wan Zhou was not surprised. She walked a little closer, opened the veil a little, and looked at Ji Nanzheng sincerely.

She said calmly, "General, you think my purpose of donating is not pure, right? In fact, what purpose can I have? The general is just a human being with delusions. I am just a little girl, and I also have delusions about General Ji."

There was nothing wrong with what she said. Didn't everyone say that she did whatever it took to marry Ji Nanzheng? She might as well admit it.

And win honesty.

Ji Nanzheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

Human delusion?

He had heard people teasing him before, but this was the first time he heard it from a woman herself.

"Since you know it's a delusion, just kill it now." Ji Nanzheng showed an ambiguous smile, but his words were inhumane.

Wan Zhou was not in a hurry either.

"My father once said that the general is like a green pine tree and has a heart like the bright moon. He is a man who stands tall and cares about the world. If the general refuses the marriage, I will undoubtedly become a joke in the whole of Shangjing. How can I live then? I am just a drop in the ocean among all living beings. The general can't just ignore me."

Ji Nanzheng raised his eyebrows again.

People are like green pines, and hearts are like bright moons?

Just a drop in the ocean?

Take care of her?

Gu Wanzhou really knew how to flatter him, as if it would be his fault if he ignored her.

Ji Nanzheng suddenly smiled, a faint smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.

Interesting? It's funny in a ridiculous way.

"Miss Gu, I am a general. I am responsible for fighting and winning battles, not for women's future."

He is indeed a cold-faced general, ruthless and heartless.

"General, the emperor will not punish you for refusing the marriage, but it is still considered disobedience to some extent, right?" Wan Zhou said softly.

"That's my business." Ji Nanzheng patted the white horse's neck, prepared to mount the horse, and didn't want to talk more.

"General, if you bring me into the palace, I will take the initiative to ask the emperor to cancel the marriage, and you can go with the flow. You don't have to marry me, and you don't have to disobey the emperor. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"

After so much unnecessary nonsense, we finally get to the point.
