Chapter 1525 I Can't Turn Back

Ye Zhi thought that people here would not swear casually, because everyone believed that there was a god above their heads. When she saw Gong Juechen raised three fingers to swear, she no longer doubted it.

Believed it.

Seeing that Ye Zhi believed it, Gong Juechen breathed a sigh of relief and apologized in his heart: Zhizhi, I'm sorry, I don't want to lie to you, but I don't want you to worry about me.

Five days later, everything in Yuncheng was handled properly, ensuring that the people could return and live normally. Only then did Xiao Changyi allow the people who had left Yuncheng to return to live.

As soon as the people entered the city, they did not go back to their homes at the first time, but kowtowed to Xiao Changyi and others.

Xiao Changyi mentioned at the right time that Su Chengyu, the emperor, loved the people like his own children and would definitely let them live and work in peace and contentment.

The people immediately bowed in gratitude in the direction of the imperial capital, shouting: "Long live the emperor."

After everything was settled, Xiao Changyi left 10,000 troops to guard Yuncheng, and sent 200,000 troops to guard the borders with other countries, so as to prevent other countries from coveting Xiyun's large territory and sending troops to attack Xiyun.

As for the other soldiers, pack up your things and return to the capital with Xiao Changyi in two days.

Everything is settled, now only the return to the capital is left, and Xiao Changyi finally has time to settle accounts with Gong Juechen.

As soon as Xiao Changyi saw Gong Juechen, he punched Gong Juechen. Gong Juechen did not dodge or evade, and took the punch hard, which instantly made Gong Juechen's mouth red and swollen, and he spit out a mouthful of blood.

Because there were only Xiao Changyi and Gong Juechen in the room, no one stopped them.

Gong Juechen was beaten, but he didn't blame Xiao Changyi. He was still smiling and even wiped the blood off his mouth with the back of his intact hand.

As soon as Xiao Changyi punched Gong Juechen, he grabbed Gong Juechen's collar and pulled Gong Juechen closer to him. He also lifted Gong Juechen up a little.

Xiao Changyi's eyes were as cold as ice, and he gritted his teeth and said every word: "Since you want to hide it, why don't you keep it secret?"

Gong Juechen didn't answer his words, but just laughed softly: "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that Su Chengyu and I will be irreconcilable, or are you afraid that Su Chengyu will kill me?"

"He promised the old man, so he won't kill you." He paused, "If I hadn't promised the old man, do you think I would care about you?"

Xiao Changyi was really angry to say this. Very angry.

Gong Juechen chuckled again, and then said calmly: "It's your business whether you promised him, and it's my business what I do."

Xiao Changyi pushed Gong Juechen away and stopped grabbing Gong Juechen's collar, "Those men in black are your people, right?"

"No." The first word he said was a lie.

"Gong Juechen!" He raised his voice.

"It wasn't in the first place." Gong Juechen had an expression on his face that said, "Don't push anything on me casually."

"Isn't it good for you to live in peace with him?" It was rare that Xiao Changyi's tone was full of powerlessness and helplessness.

Gong Juechen stopped talking, he just smiled.

Xiao Changyi closed his eyes. After a long while, he opened them. As soon as he opened his eyes, he turned and walked out, saying without looking back: "If even I can't protect you in the end, you can only blame yourself."

Watching Xiao Changyi disappear from his sight, Gong Juechen's smile became more and more bitter, and he said in his heart: "Brother, I can't turn back anymore. From the moment I accepted the position of the owner of the building, I can't turn back anymore."
