Donate 300,000 yuan to invite the God of War to marry, and I ask for a divorce
Chapter 15: The Hero's Hand
In fact, Ji Nanzheng's refusal of the marriage was disobedience, and Wan Zhou's going back on his word in front of the emperor was also disobedience and a risk.
However, now that the army led by Ji Nanzheng has recaptured Huajiang, the emperor is happy. At this point, the emperor will not punish a woman who has made contributions to Huajiang and poses no threat to the emperor.
Seeing Ji Nanzheng frowning in thought, Wan Zhou struck while the iron was hot: "If I propose to cancel the engagement, will it be a disgrace to the general?"
"How can you damage the reputation of this general just because you want to?" Ji Nanzheng retorted without even thinking.
"So, did the General agree?"
Ji Nanzheng: "..."
"This general promises you." Ji Nanzheng thought for a moment and replied.
Anyway, it was to cancel the marriage, Ji Nanzheng didn't care much about the form, and he didn't need to care. Whether Gu Wanzhou was bold and unscrupulous, she made real contributions to Yanguo.
Ji Nanzheng has always been clear about right and wrong and will not generalize. Gu Wanzhou's move was nothing more than to save face. As long as she doesn't pester him, it's okay to agree to her.
Ji Nanzheng looked at Wan Zhou with scrutiny, and approved of his quick decision to settle for the next best option.
It is undeniable that Gu Wanzhou's brain is indeed better than most women's brains. She herself suggested that it could save face, which was also beneficial to him to a certain extent.
The disobedience of refusing marriage will not really bother him, but if it can be avoided, it would naturally be better, after all, the heart of a king is unpredictable.
"Thank you, General." Wan Zhou responded cheerfully.
When Wan Zhou was speaking, a gust of wind blew up, and the curtain of the veil was blown open, revealing half of his face. It was at this time that Ji Nanzheng saw the stars twinkling in Wan Zhou's eyes.
It was the kind of happy feeling of having one's wish come true, and Ji Nanzheng couldn't help but wonder? It seemed that what Gu Wanzhou wanted was not that he would not refuse the marriage, but that she only wanted a chance to regret the marriage?
impossible.
Ji Nanzheng immediately shook off the idea. He was not narcissistic, but he was not blind. He could see the woman's crazy about him. If Gu Wanzhou was different from them, it was just that she was more daring.
"General Ji, the emperor has asked me to come and welcome General Ji back triumphantly." The eunuch beside the emperor had come to the front without him knowing when.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ji Nanzheng returned the gift and said, "Please, Eunuch Hong."
Eunuch Hong turned to Wan Zhou again and asked, "Is this Miss Gu?"
Eunuch Hong was sent by the Emperor to the Gu family to summon Wan Zhou to the palace. He was told that Wan Zhou had arrived at the market. Eunuch Hong rushed to the market and happened to see Wan Zhou and Ji Nanzheng talking. As someone close to the Emperor, he was very well-informed and immediately guessed Wan Zhou's identity.
"Yes." Wan Zhou was puzzled. How did Eunuch Hong know it was her, wearing a veil hat?
"The emperor invites Miss Gu and General Ji to come to the palace to meet him." Eunuch Hong said.
After hearing this, Wan Zhou really wanted to roll her eyes at Eunuch Hong.
Why didn't you tell her earlier that you would bring her into the palace? Why would she have to go around in circles with Ji Nanzheng?
"Let's go." Ji Nanzheng glanced at Wan Zhou's veil with suspicion, then stood up and mounted his horse.
Wan Zhou had no choice but to get on the palace carriage, wondering in her heart, did the emperor have a pair of eyes on her? How did he know that she was there?
The onlookers nearby were shocked to see Wan Zhou talking to Ji Nanzheng alone. They felt jealous and curious at the same time.
Not many people knew Wan Zhou, and she was wearing a veil hat. Everyone was curious about who this woman in the veil hat was and how she could win the favor of General Ji.
But because of the soldiers standing in front of him, who were looking around with cold eyes, he didn't dare to say anything out loud.
At this time, seeing Wan Zhou getting on the palace carriage and being treated like this, everyone guessed that she must be a woman of very high status.
For a while, all kinds of discussions broke out again.
……
Wan Zhou sat in the palace carriage, vaguely listening to the discussions outside, and felt relieved. After today, she would be truly free.
Arriving at the gate of the imperial palace, Wan Zhou was helped out of the car by Bai Lu. The crowd of onlookers was kept far away, and the majestic palace was right before their eyes.
She took off her veil and smiled at Ji Nanzheng who was waiting not far away.
The veil was removed, and a clean face appeared before his eyes. Ji Nanzheng's eyelids twitched.
Her eyes were as clear as the lake water in the snowy mountains, and her cheeks were like a flawless jade. In his impression, Gu Wanzhou was bold, but also a calculating and vulgar woman.
The person in front of me has bright eyes, clear and without ripples, without any calculation or desire. With a faint smile, she looks like a lily feeling comfortable in the breeze.
He had not met many women, but Wan Zhou was unique in both appearance and temperament.
But he quickly looked away. He was willing to admit that Gu Wanzhou was beautiful and unique, but that was all. He had a superficial side, but he was more than just superficial.
In his opinion, a woman’s beauty and appearance are important, but appearance alone is not enough. A clean and pure heart is what he desires.
Obviously, Gu Wanzhou looked decent, clean and pure. But inside? Clean? Pure? Not at all like her.
No matter how special a woman is, if she can't make him fall in love with her, she is just an ordinary woman to him.
Wan Zhou handed the veil to Bai Lu, walked towards Ji Nanzheng, and bowed with the most respectful gesture.
"Let's go." Ji Nanzheng's horse had been taken away. As he spoke, he lifted his long legs and took a step forward.
Wan Zhou was in a good mood and followed quickly.
"General Ji, what's wrong with your hand?" Wan Zhou was one step behind Ji Nanzheng and just happened to see the blood on the back of his hand.
"No problem." Ji Nanzheng raised his hand and looked at it. It didn't matter. It was just a wound that had not yet healed. For a general on the battlefield, wounds were medals. He didn't care at all.
"Let me help the general deal with it." Without waiting for Ji Nanzheng's consent, Wan Zhou took a step forward and pulled the hand in front of him.
The next moment, she realized that it was inappropriate.
What is she doing? Isn't it forbidden for men and women to touch each other?
Forget it, I've already caught someone else's hand, so I might as well be a good person and help him clean up.
After thinking for a while, Wan Zhou took out a handkerchief, placed it on his palm before holding Ji Nanzheng's hand.
There's a handkerchief between them, just like a doctor taking a woman's pulse through a handkerchief, so it doesn't seem too intimate.
He took out another handkerchief and wiped the blood off the back of his hand.
The wound was about an inch in diameter and quite deep, with a pool of blood, some of which had begun to coagulate. Wan Zhou put himself in the other person's shoes and moved extra lightly and carefully.
While she was wiping, she noticed that there were several old scabs on the back of his hands, and even on his wrists. The palms she held through the handkerchief were so rough.
She had seen Jiang Xuan's hands, which were long, smooth and beautiful. But the hand she held, Ji Nanzheng's fingers were even longer and stronger, but the back of his hand with wounds was not pretty at all, and the rough palm was prickly even through the silk handkerchief.
But these are a pair of hero's hands!
In the past year, she has traveled to many places, witnessed the sufferings of the world, and gained a concrete understanding of the stability of her country. If there were no heroes like Ji Nanzheng who led thousands of soldiers to defend their country, how could the common people live a stable life?
Through these hands, Wan Zhou seemed to see the yellow sand and the flashing of swords on the battlefield. She could not imagine the real scene, but she could imagine the immense difficulty of fighting out a piece of heaven and earth in the sea of swords and blood.
Her father was also a soldier and had told her how dangerous the battlefield was. Ji Nanzheng was the leader and shouldered the heavy responsibility, so he had the hardest job.
Thinking of this, Wan Zhou's heart seemed to be gently touched by something.
Ji Nanzheng is everyone's hero! Thinking that he had taken advantage of this hero, he felt full of regret.
Thinking of this, with a pious mood, Wan Zhou's movements became a little gentler.
