The voices gradually faded away, and the carriage continued to move for a while before stopping.
Chen Qing's voice came, "Master, we're here."
Nanny Su, who was sitting against the curtain, got off the carriage first, followed by Gu Yanxi. When she was about to go forward to help her family, she saw the man extending his hand to the person who walked out of the carriage.
Nanny Su wanted to step forward, but Chen Qing moved faster and stood in front of her, grinning at her.
Hua Zhi first looked up and glanced around, unexpectedly she found herself under the city wall, then she looked down at Gu Yanxi, who had followed the others out, and she was too lazy to be pretentious in the middle of the night, so she put her hand in his palm.
Gu Yanxi held it tightly, and with his other hand, he supported her arm and helped her down.
"Mr. Lu is quite unique." Hua Zhi withdrew her hand with a smile on her face. She thought he would take her to fly lanterns and swim in the river or something.
Gu Yanxi raised his eyebrows and led her towards the stone stairs. When he wanted to reach out for support again, he found that he had no chance at all, as Ah Zhi was holding up her skirt with both hands.
There was no guard on the city wall. Hua Zhi turned around and looked everywhere she could see. The lights in the prosperous areas of the city were flickering, while some places had been swallowed by darkness. What could be seen outside the city was also limited, with a faint white mist.
Hua Zhi smiled and said, "If there is a team hiding outside the city at this time, will the guards find it?"
"There are troops stationed outside the city."
"Can the garrison defend against people with the skills of Mr. Lu's men?"
Gu Yanxi was silent.
Hua Zhi felt inexplicably relieved. As expected, if she made others suffer, she would feel better. "What if something happened outside the city?"
The defense that had always been thought to be impregnable and had never had any problems seemed to be full of loopholes after Azhi's words. However, Gu Yanxi had to admit that what Azhi said was possible. Just because it had not happened before did not mean it would not happen in the future.
Leading Ah Zhi to the tower, Gu Yanxi asked, "According to Ah Zhi's opinion, what should we do?"
"I am just a woman who grew up in an inner house. How can I understand these things?"
"Azhi, don't be so modest."
"I'm not being modest, I'm just good at finding faults." This is a habit she developed after being a boss for many years. She can find problems with any plan, no matter how good it is. But once it is implemented, the project will surely become a golden goose that lays eggs.
"I am only good at business. As for the rest, everyone has their own expertise."
Although what she said made a lot of sense, Gu Yanxi still felt that Ah Zhi didn't really not understand the matter as she said.
"But I can make a suggestion." Hua Zhi's smile was almost malicious, "If Mr. Lu can't break in even with his ability, then the city wall is safe."
Gu Yanxi laughed, "There is no wall in this world that can defend against me. Ah Zhi's request is too high."
"That's why I don't understand." Hua Zhi looked at the clean city wall and thought that this was a great place to have an affair. She didn't have to worry about being caught and it was also fun. Tsk, her mind was full of negative emotions today.
I walked to the window and looked out. The moon cast its light on everything. The hazy scenery seemed to be tinged with coolness. At first glance, it seemed that I could only see what was in front of me, but it also seemed that I could see very far away.
She stretched out her hand, and the moonlight covered her hand, and her restless mood seemed to be soothed by the moonlight.
Yes, she shouldn't be angry. No one in this world knows how big the world is better than her. There is not only the capital, not only the Daqing Dynasty, and not only the countries surrounding the Daqing Dynasty. There are also civilizations on the other side of the sea, and there are another civilization beyond them. Compared with these, what is Hua Jing
She is getting worse and worse because she is fussing about things that are completely different from each other.
Her shoulders sank and the pure white cloak fell on them. Hua Zhi turned to look at the man standing side by side with her. This man unexpectedly understood her, so he brought Shaoyao to her to joke around and brought her to the top of the city wall. The method might not be the best, but he put his heart into it.
Does she give people hope
Hua Zhi looked outside the city again. She clearly rejected him but yet she accepted his kindness. What a scumbag!
In the past, when I heard the saying "a virtuous woman is afraid of a clinging man", I didn't take it seriously. Now that I think about it, she was really inexperienced at the time. If she met a clinging man like Mr. Lu, even if she was a nun, she would probably have to return to secular life.
She is not a nun, and she cannot stand the entanglement of men, but she really does not want to get involved in those love affairs. What should she do
"Mr. Lu, let's stop our relationship at this stage."
"good."
Hua Zhi looked at him, surprised by his cheerfulness.
Gu Yanxi pulled her cloak closer and said with a smile, "I said, I'll do whatever you say, and you didn't reject me this time, did you? That's enough, I'm not in a hurry."
He had been waiting for such a person for twenty-four years, so he was really not in a hurry at all. Moreover, he didn't want to press him too much. Azhi was a person who would only respond to soft tactics and not hard ones.
Hua Zhi leaned against the window frame and looked at him, and suddenly smiled. So be it. She didn't want to make things difficult for herself. What she was facing now was not to the point where she needed to cut off her relationship. She would know what would happen in the future later.
Gu Yanxi also smiled, the moonlight shining on their faces, like a pair of people against the same wall.
Nanny Su was getting anxious, but Chen Qing was blocking the entrance to the stone stairs and she couldn't get through. She could only pace back and forth, feeling anxious.
Chen Qing found it interesting and said with a smile, "Mammy, you really don't need to be so nervous. Our master is not the kind of person who would act rashly. And with the temperament of the eldest lady, if the master really dares to do something, won't she fight to the death? Listen, there is no movement at all now."
It would have been better if she hadn't said this. Once she said this, Nanny Su became even more anxious. How could her young lady, a girl, go all out? Mr. Lu was invited by the Hua family and Mr. Wu in the first place!
Just when she was about to rush upstairs with all her old bones, she heard footsteps upstairs. She looked up and saw it was the young lady. She looked calm and unharmed. Only then did Nanny Su's heart beat less violently.
Chen Qing smiled and made way, winking at the old lady, as if to say: See, I didn't lie to you.
Nanny Su had no time to care about him at this moment. She quickly ran up the stairs to support her young lady.
"Don't worry, nothing's wrong."
The carriage wobbled all the way back to the Hua family. Hua Zhi got off the carriage and bowed slightly to Gu Yanxi.
Gu Yanxi lifted her up and said, "I'll let Shaoyao go with you tomorrow."
"No need to do that. I am not afraid of the Song family. Besides, many people know Shaoyao's identity. I don't want to have anything to do with Master Gu now."
"Okay, as you wish."
Every time Hua Zhi heard the words "upon you", her heart softened. She didn't know how much he valued her. The prince, the leader of the Seven Stars Division, was willing to obey her in everything. It would be a lie to say that she was not touched. She was not so heartless. She also had a hunch that if this continued, she might not be able to bear it.
But as she said before, there are too many people in this world who love each other but cannot be together. There are too many things and too many people between them. Who knows what the future will be like
