Chapter 1409 Let’s Get Married!
Hongmen Banquet.
This time, Li Tongguang arranged the meeting place in the military camp, which was a Hongmen Banquet. On the surface, it looked polite, but in fact, it was meant to humiliate.
During the banquet, he pulled up the captured Wuguo soldiers and humiliated them in front of all the members of the delegation, which aroused the emotions of the delegation.
The arrogant look of a villain really made the Wuguo people in the delegation furious.
In this occasion, Zhou Chen did not make any move, but just watched coldly, while Ning Yuanzhou, Yang Ying and others wanted to kill Li Tongguang.
Li Tongguang wanted to humiliate the delegation, but he did not expect that he was humiliated instead. Ren Ruyi poured wine on his head in public, and he wanted revenge in anger.
Yang Ying was furious and exposed the identity of Li Tongguang's concubine's son in public, which made Li Tongguang lose his mind and attacked in public, but Ning Yuanzhou took the initiative and knocked him to the ground.
In the end, the delegation left the military camp with the captured soldiers. Although Li Tongguang was angry, he did not pursue them.
Today, he did intend to humiliate King Wuguoli, but there was another more important thing, which was to find out whether Princess Huyang was his master. For this reason, he called the maid who had served Ren Xin.
He poured wine on Ren Ruyi's veil, deliberately asking Ren Ruyi to take off the veil so that Liuli could confirm Ren Ruyi's identity.
Shortly after the delegation returned to the posthouse, Jin Meiniang sneaked into the posthouse and found Ren Ruyi, telling Ren Ruyi all the information and hidden secrets of Li Tongguang.
When Ren Ruyi heard that Li Tongguang had painted many portraits of her and even collected the clothes she had worn, her face became extremely cold.
Although she was not worldly-wise in many things, she was an extremely smart woman and had been in the White Sparrow Camp. If she didn't understand what Jin Meiniang wanted to express, she would immediately say that Jin Meiniang was overthinking.
However, she also warned him with concern.
"Don't tell Zhou Chen about this."
Jin Meiniang asked: "Your Excellency, are you worried about Mr. Zhou?"
Ren Ruyi said: "I'm worried that if he finds out, he will go and kill Li Tongguang. He is the most jealous person."
"Ah?"
Jin Meiniang was shocked. Although she had only met Zhou Chen a few times, she could feel that Zhou Chen was extraordinary. Was he really as jealous as Your Excellency said?
Also, the tone of Your Excellency when he mentioned this man was something she had never seen before. She could see that Your Excellency's heart was really captured by Zhou Chen.
"It seems that Mr. Zhou really cares about you, but I think he is a smart man. Li Tongguang is surrounded by guards, so he will definitely not do anything reckless."
Ren Ruyi said, "That's because you don't understand him. He is a daring man. If he is angered, he really dares to kill Li Tongguang. Let alone Li Tongguang, even if he assassinates the emperor, I won't find it strange."
She and Zhou Chen have been together day and night. After a long time, she naturally understands Zhou Chen's temperament. His attitude towards royal officials is no different from that towards ordinary people, and he has no respect for the powerful.
Along the way, Zhou Chen has learned most of her assassination skills. If Zhou Chen becomes an assassin, he may be better than her.
"Your Majesty, you have really changed."
"Five years have passed, and no one will remain unchanged."
Jin Meiniang smiled and did not explain. She was not talking about anything else, but that Ren Ruyi would actually fall in love with a man. In the past, she dared not even think about it.
Suddenly, the guard in charge of guarding came to report that the Marquis of Changqing came to visit and specifically asked to see the Prince of Li, Du Changshi, Ren Ruyi and Ning Yuanzhou.
Although the two sides had just fallen out yesterday, there was no reason to avoid it when he came in person today.
In the side courtyard of the posthouse, Zhou Chen was carving wood with the carving knife given to him by Ren Ruyi.
Jin Meiniang walked slowly and gracefully to sit opposite Zhou Chen.
"Mr. Zhou."
"Boss Jin."
Zhou Chen stopped carving.
"Mr. Zhou is your friend, you can call me Meiniang."
Zhou Chen just smiled and said nothing. Although he had a good impression of Jin Meiniang because of her loyalty and ability, he had to control the degree of intimacy.
"This carving knife is made of meteorite iron, right? I remember that the Lord once got a piece of meteorite iron, and after forging the Qingyun Sword, a part of it remained."
"This is indeed a gift from Ruyi."
"I have never seen the Lord so close to someone, Lord Zhou, I hope you will not let the Lord down." Jin Meiniang's expression was serious and solemn.
Zhou Chen also looked at Jin Meiniang seriously and said slowly: "I am not a good person, but there is one thing I will not let down a woman who is really good to me. Ruyi is the mother of my future child and also my Achilles' heel."
Jin Meiniang laughed: "I really can't imagine that Your Majesty will get married and have children one day, and I am looking forward to this day very much."
Zhou Chen said: "You will see this day, it won't be too long."
"Then I'll wait."
Jin Meiniang found Zhou Chen carving again and felt bored, so she asked curiously: "What are you carving?"
"Nothing, just carving for fun."
Jin Meiniang rolled her eyes and suddenly asked: "Now Changqing Hou of Anguo is negotiating with Your Majesty in the meeting room. I don't believe you can't see Changqing Hou's attitude towards Your Majesty. Are you not worried at all? Or, are you sitting here carving, actually using carving to distract yourself?"
Zhou Chen paused, then continued.
"Gang Leader Jin is indeed a hero among girls who can control the Jinsha Gang, Jinbaozhan and Jinsha Tower. His brain power is really good."
"Brain stuff? What do you mean?"
"Just guessing and making random assumptions."
"Are you really not worried?"
Jin Meiniang didn't quite believe it: "Your Majesty said that the young master is most jealous."
Zhou Chen's face darkened. This girl really could say anything.
"Jealousy is jealousy, but do you know what factors are most important when two people want to be together forever?"
"Which ones?"
Jin Meiniang is in the best health and has a curious look on her face. Even though she controls such a powerful gang, she is not a master in relationships, otherwise she wouldn't have scared Yu Shisan away in the first place.
"Trust and respect, I trust Ruyi. Since she said she wanted to be with me, I will not doubt her. Even if something like Li Tongguang happens, I still believe in her; I respect her, she is her first I am not my vassal, so I will not interfere with her choices and decisions.”
Jin Meiniang was stunned, and it took her a while to regain her composure, then she smiled as brightly as a flower.
"I really don't know if you are too confident or too naive, but one thing I can be sure of is that you have a good sense and your Majesty will not let you down."
"I think so too. My vision has always been good."
Although people's hearts are fickle, he has the ability to foresee things, coupled with his rich life experience and long time together, so he has already figured out eighty-nine points of what kind of person Ren Ruyi is, and he also knows what to do. get along.
"Mr. Zhou, I have a question to ask you."
"About Yu Shisan?"
Jin Meiniang's expression froze. Before she could speak, Zhou Chen guessed what she was thinking. This feeling was really not good.
"Yes, actually now I understand why he left me in the first place, but I don't understand why he just wants to be a prodigal. Is there no one in the world who can make him stop?"
"You can't say that. Since you asked, let me tell you my understanding. Yu Shisan is my brother. The reason why he chose to be a prodigal son is naturally because he doesn't have to take responsibility and doesn't want to be responsible. Man, who doesn't want a hundred flowers? If you get hit, not a single leaf will touch your body.”
"Hearing what you say makes Yu Shisan even more hateful."
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "But he is a scumbag, but he is still quite magnanimous. At least you just shouted at him on the surface and didn't think about what you would really do to him, right?"
Jin Meiniang did not deny it, but just smiled slightly. As Zhou Chen said, she had never thought about doing anything to Shisan, but she was really unhappy in her heart that she left Shisan without saying goodbye.
"You seem to see things very clearly, which makes me fall in love with you a little bit."
"Then don't, I'm afraid your lord will kill you."
"Giggle..."
Jin Meiniang laughed happily. It was obvious that Zhou Chen was not pedantic and could take a joke. Such a character was very suitable for his superior.
"Gang Leader Jin, there is something I want to ask you for help with."
In the meeting hall, Li Tongguang came with great momentum, but not long after, he was confused by Ren Ruyi and became dizzy. His whole person collapsed. He had to rely on his attendants and maids to support him when he walked. He fled in despair. Went to the inn.
As soon as Li Tongguang left, Ren Ruyi found Zhou Chen. Without saying a word, he just hugged Zhou Chen and leaned against Zhou Chen's arms.
"Are you angry with your apprentice? I'll help you teach him a lesson and beat him until his teeth are all over the floor."
Ren Ruyi hugged Zhou Chen tightly and said in a low voice: "I'm fine. I just want to hold you and lean against you. I feel very at ease."
What happened to her apprentice Li Tongguang really made her very angry and angry, but she had almost vented her anger just now. What she needs now is not comfort, but to stay quietly with Zhou Chen.
If there is anyone else in the world who can make her open her heart, it must be Zhou Chen. She may not understand what love is, but she knows that she feels at ease and relaxed when she is with Zhou Chen.
The two hugged each other and leaned together quietly, feeling each other's presence.
"If you wish, shall we get married?"
"What?"
Ren Ruyi left Zhou Chen's arms, raised his head, and looked surprised.
Zhou Chen said it again with a serious expression.
"I said, let's get married."
Ren Ruyi just looked at Zhou Chen for a while before she asked, "Why so sudden?"
In the past, he just wanted to have a child with Zhou Chen, but with this period of time together, she had changed her mind and really wanted to be with Zhou Chen.
So when she heard Zhou Chen talk about getting married, she was not only shocked, but also happy in her heart. But she was more confused about why Zhou Chen was so sudden.
"Because we have arrived in Anguo, I know very well what you are going to do next and what risks you are taking. Logically speaking, I shouldn't tell you this at this time, because it will burden you; but after thinking about it, I I thought, but decided to speak out. I don’t know what will happen in the future. If we both die by then, we will not be able to be buried together legitimately. "
"That's why I thought, before we do those dangerous things, we should get married first. Even if something happens to us in the future, we can legitimately be buried together as husband and wife, and truly live and die together. The same quilt, the same hole in death."
Hearing what Zhou Chen said, Ren Ruyi couldn't help but feel moved. She was used to being alone. She and Zhou Chen got along very well during this period. If they could become each other's support, it seemed to be a good choice.
"But is it appropriate at this time?"
"Of course it's appropriate. Our marriage is our own business. You and I don't have any relatives, so there is no need to make it so grand. Of course, if you want three matchmakers, six hires, and eight sedans, I can do that too... "
Ren Ruyi covered Zhou Chen's mouth and said with tender eyes: "I don't need that, and I don't care, but are you really willing to get married to me and stay together for the rest of your life?"
"certainly."
"You know I'm an assassin. If you dare to lie to me, I will kill you."
"Then you may be overthinking, and this won't happen."
"I agreed, when do you want it?"
"tomorrow."
"tomorrow?"
"Yes, I have left Jin Mei Niang to arrange the necessary things, and they can be delivered tomorrow."
Ren Ruyi stared at Zhou Chen with playful eyes: "It seems that you are already prepared. Are you so sure that I will agree to you?"
"I believe in one sentence. With sincerity, gold and stone are the same. Even if it is grinding, I can still grind you to agree. What's more, you have me in your heart."
Zhou Chen's expression was sincere, and he gently embraced Ren Ruyi into his arms, holding her and smelling her fragrance.
Just as the two were tender to each other, Yu Shisan suddenly ran over and said that Li Tongguang's convoy had been intercepted. Ning Yuanzhou had decided to go to support and asked them if they wanted to go together.
When Ren Ruyi heard that Li Tongguang had been intercepted and killed, her expression suddenly changed slightly. Even though she was very dissatisfied with Li Tongguang's actions, she was her apprentice after all, so she naturally didn't want anything to happen to Li Tongguang.
Zhou Chen held down Ren Ruyi's Rou Yi and said, "Leave it to me. I'll go with you. Don't go, you'll be exposed easily."
"Can……"
"Don't worry, I'm not that petty, not to mention you have agreed to marry me, how could I not consider your feelings and leave it to me."
When Ren Ruyi heard the words, he didn't say anything more, and just told him: "Okay, Jiu'er is also a hard-working child. Now he has finally achieved his current achievements. He shouldn't have trouble here. If something happens to him, he will be punished." Groups are actually not a good thing.”
"Okay, I know, just wait here for the good news."
Zhou Chen walked with Yu Shisan. On the way, Yu Shisan asked in a gossipy manner: "Just now you said that Miss Ruyi agreed to marry you. What do you mean, you want to get married?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just feel sorry for you. Man, once we get married, this life is over." Yu Shisan shook his head and sighed.
Zhou Chen scolded: "You know nothing. You can't explain it to a so-called prodigal son like you. Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and save people."
Yu Shisan suggested thiefly: "Who are you going to save? According to me, let's just let Marquis Changqing be killed. That kid can tell at a glance that he has ill intentions towards Miss Ruyi. I'll kill you." Peace of mind too.”
"Whether he dies or not, it is not a threat to me. I am worried about you. Ruyi is right. If he dies, it will be even more difficult for you to welcome back His Majesty."
"That kid looks at you like he wants to kill you. Do you think he can be our help?"
"Who knows, maybe."
