    Chapter 209 Company, we must be good people

    The wind was blowing fast outside and the branches were rustling.A large group of soldiers and horses surrounded the wooden house. The torches they held flickered on and off, and the shadows of the surrounding trees were dancing like ghosts.The sharp archer occupied a high place, stretched his bow and nocked an arrow, and pointed directly inside. He only waited for an order and immediately fired thousands of arrows.

    Du Lingchun was riding on the horse, his face was gloomy, and his long and narrow eyes were extremely sinister, like a ball of ink that was too thick to dissolve.When Gongsun Zhuoyu was kidnapped, he happened to be near the city gate. When he heard the news, he immediately sent his troops out of the city and chased him along the ruts.

    Shi Qianqiu had been secretly following the carriage when Gongsun Zhuoyu winked at him, but was stopped at the city gate. Seeing that the situation was not good, he simply went to Du Lingchun to report the news.

    Seeing the tense situation outside, the masked man detained Gongsun Zhuoyu and said, "After we leave, we will naturally let you go."

    Gongsun Zhuoyu said, "You can't run far if you take me with you."

    He could still guess something about Du Lingchun's temperament. How could he let these people kidnap him? Even if he pretended to let him go, there would definitely be masters following him in the dark. By then, Ye Wuhen and others would have to die..

    The masked man wanted to say more, but unexpectedly he was stopped by Ye Wuhen: "Junior brother, don't accidentally hurt innocent people!"

    They hesitated here, but Du Lingchun outside had lost his patience.He was afraid that something bad had happened to Gongsun Zhuoyu, and he was extremely anxious. He signaled the archers to prepare and said sternly: "I will count to three. If Gongsun Zhuoyu is no longer seen, I will kill them without mercy!"

    Everyone in the room was shocked.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu quickly shouted through the window: "Company! I'm here!"

    But don't let go of arrows. This way of death is too unfair.

    Du Lingchun heard his voice, his eyes sharpened, and he quickly signaled the archers to retreat.Seeing this, the masked man could only hold Gongsun Zhuoyu hostage and walked out: "Don't move, or I will kill him!"

    Shi Qianqiu calmly took out an inch-long flying knife from his arms and secretly estimated the possibility of knocking out the opponent's weapon without hurting Gongsun Zhuoyu.

    Du Lingchun had obviously experienced such confrontation scenes many times, but today he didn't want to spend more time negotiating terms. He narrowed his eyes, silently tightened the reins, and said coldly: "Let him go, you can go on your own."Leave.”

    Gongsun Zhuoyu calmly broke away from the rope on his wrist and said to the masked man behind him: "Let me go and leave with your senior brother. I promise, no one will stop me."

    No normal person would believe what he said, not to mention Du Lingchun's ruthless tactics and reputation.

    The masked man raised his voice and said, "Take the soldiers and horses and retreat five miles. I will let him go when I get to a safe place!"

    Du Lingchun didn't move, his dark eyes showed a bit of shocking cruelty at this time, and he said word by word: "You have only two ways now, either let him go, or die here!"

    The archers hiding in the distance tightened their bowstrings, and the arrows were pointed at them, flashing a cold light.

    Most of the knots on Gongsun Zhuoyu's hands had been untied. He covered it with his sleeves without leaving any trace, and lowered his eyes to look at the sword blade against his neck.The masked man didn't intend to really hurt him, so he kept blocking the sword edge with his fingertips and was able to break free easily.

    A piece of rope fell to the ground silently.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu's eyes met with Shi Qianqiu's in mid-air, and he secretly exchanged a look.Soon after he said it, he suddenly struck the masked man's elbow with lightning speed, and knocked the long sword out of the opponent's hand. There was only a soft clang sound, and the hidden weapon in Shi Qianqiu's hand quickly shot out, directly into the masked man.Human right shoulder.

    Two exclamations sounded at the same time——

    "Zhuoyu!"

    "Junior brother!"

    Du Lingchun's pupils shrank suddenly when he saw this, and he almost fell off his horse in panic.Ignoring the obstruction of Wu Yue and others, he rushed in, only to see that Gongsun Zhuoyu had already captured the masked man to the ground with his backhand.The officers and soldiers outside suddenly surrounded him with cheers.

    "Well"

    The masked man was hit by a hidden weapon on his left shoulder, and he couldn't help but grunted. The wound was involved in the struggle, and his face became paler. He looked at Gongsun Zhuoyu in surprise: "You know martial arts?!"

    Gongsun Zhuoyu handed him over to Wu Yue and others. Hearing this, he patted the dust on his hands and said, "I never said I didn't know martial arts."

    After he finished speaking, he looked at Du Lingchun aside. There was still a trace of panic on the latter's face that had not yet faded away. He was obviously frightened by the sudden scene just now.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu rarely had a playful smile on his face. He walked over and used the cover of his sleeve robe to gently squeeze Du Lingchun's cold hand and whispered: "Don't worry, sir, I'm fine."

    When Du Lingchun heard this, the sigh in his heart slowly relaxed. He looked at Gongsun Zhuoyu carefully and saw that he had no damage on him, then he looked at Ye Wuhen and others who were captured on the ground.

    Wu Yue asked: "Company, what should we do with these people?"

    Du Lingchun's eyes seemed to be quenched with poison, making people afraid to look directly at them. He said coldly: "Chop them all into pieces and feed them to the dogs!"

    Because he is a eunuch, he usually speaks in a gentle and gentle manner, without any rush or slowness. The voice he just said was sharp, which shows that he is so filled with hatred that he doesn't even care about his manners.

    Ye Wuhen couldn't help but close his eyes, and suddenly his heart was filled with despair, and he deeply regretted that he should not have involved innocent people.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu saw that the evil in Du Lingchun's eyes was still lingering, so he made a gesture to Wu Yue without leaving any trace, telling him not to move yet.Then he directly pulled Du Lingchun into the carriage and lowered the curtain tightly.

    "Company..."

    Gongsun Zhuoyu whispered, without saying anything, he pulled Du Lingchun into his arms and kissed him fiercely.The embrace tightened with force, as if the person was embedded in his bones and blood.

    Du Lingchun was stunned for a moment and responded instinctively.He didn't realize it himself. His body was still trembling and he couldn't get away from the panic just now.Gongsun Zhuoyu's kiss calmed his emotions very well.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu touched the tip of his tongue, then gently swept the teeth, turning the soft lips into a dark color, breathing on his neck, and asked him in a low voice: "Is the company afraid?"

    Du Lingchun was startled when he heard this. Was he the one who was afraid?

    Gongsun Zhuoyu held his face and rubbed Du Lingchun's delicate and smooth side face repeatedly with his fingertips: "Don't be afraid, sir. They just want to go out and won't hurt me."

    Du Lingchun looked at Gongsun Zhuoyu and suddenly understood what he meant. He frowned and said: "Cut the grass and roots, don't leave trouble for yourself!"

    Gongsun Zhuoyu guessed that he would say this and smiled: "Sir, if you offend a villain, you will naturally get rid of the root cause. But although the people outside are not great good people, they cannot be said to be great evil ones. It doesn't matter if you let them go."

    He knelt down, buried his face in Du Lingchun's knees, held his hand and said, "How about you save some good fortune for me?"

    Du Lingchun frowned and pinched his chin, feeling that he was too well-intentioned: "If you want to save, there is no need to save from them!"

    Gongsun Zhuoyu said half-truthfully: "Do you remember, sir, that on the day of the trial, you once pleaded for Mo Jingxian in the court, and when I was held hostage by the masked man today, she spoke to save me. It can be seen thatIf you save someone's life, you can still accumulate some blessings."

    Du Lingchun's face was ashen, and he felt that he was making excuses and said nothing.

    Seeing this, Gongsun Zhuoyu stood up, sat in the parking space, and sighed: "If you don't want to, that's all. Next time I am kidnapped and my head is in a different place, remember to find a good coffin for me and bury me back in Jiangsu Province."Go to the state..."

    Before he finished speaking, Du Lingchun covered his mouth and pushed him against the car wall.Du Lingchun couldn't hear him say the word "death". He didn't know if it was an illusion. His eyes were slightly red, and he angrily scolded: "Gongsun Zhuoyu, you keep talking nonsense -"

    Gongsun Zhuoyu blinked and said nothing. Later, he realized that Du Lingchun was frightened by what just happened.

    "..."

    Du Lingchun had been a eunuch all his life, and it was only now that he had truly met a close person. He could taste some love. For the first time, he had the idea of spending the rest of his life with one person.If the King of Hell really took Gongsun Zhuoyu in, it would really be more uncomfortable for him than death.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu stared into Du Lingchun's reddish eyes, and all the manuscripts he had prepared suddenly became useless.He held Du Lingchun's wrist, pulled him into his arms with a little force, then hugged him tightly, put his chin on his shoulder and said, "Hit me, boss, because I talked nonsense."

    How could Du Lingchun be willing to hit him, but he was so filled with hatred that he could only keep a sullen face and clenched his teeth.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu hugged him tighter: "Company, when I was kidnapped just now, I kept thinking about one thing. What should you do if I really die..."

    When he thought about his ending in his previous life, he couldn't help feeling regretful and said in a low voice: "Sir, I understand. I came here just to find you in this life. It's just because I'm confused. If I were smarter, maybe we could have met in my previous life."”

    Gongsun Zhuoyu actually didn't know that they had already met once during the heavy snowfall in the middle of winter in Jiangzhou in his previous life...

    He was given a steamed bun when he was a child.

    Later, when he grew up, during the seventh year of Yongjing's imprisonment, he returned his whole body.

    This world is just a cycle of cause and effect.In their last life, they took the wrong path, so they didn't end well. In this life, God brought them together because of the misfortune.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu talked nonchalantly by himself, looking serious and silly at the same time.Du Lingchun's eyes suddenly felt sore when he heard this, wondering what this fool was thinking in his mind.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu whispered: "My lord, when is the time to retaliate? If we kill them today, I'm afraid someone else will come to seek revenge. I want to live a peaceful life with you in the future, so let them go. Let's not kill anyone, okay?"

    Du Lingchun said nothing, neither willing to comply with his words nor to refute them.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu knew what he was thinking, so he acquiesced and kissed Du Lingchun on the face: "My boss is waiting for me in the car. I will be back soon."

    After saying that, he opened the curtain and got out of the car.

    Wu Yue detained Ye Wuhen and others in one place, and was hesitating on how to deal with them, when he saw Gongsun Zhuoyu walking over directly and untying the rope from Mo Jingxian's body.

    Wu Yue asked aloud: "Lord Gongsun?"

    Gongsun Zhuoyu said: "No problem, the company agreed."

    Upon hearing this, Wu Yue subconsciously looked towards the carriage not far away, only to see Du Lingchun half-lifting the curtain and looking at this side with complicated eyes. After a moment, he threw down the curtain with an expressionless face.

    Wu Yue understood what he meant and raised his hand to signal the officers and soldiers to disperse.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu was the last one to untie the masked man. He pulled out the hidden weapon from the other man's shoulder with some vengeance. He was satisfied when he heard the other man groaning in pain, and then he untied the rope from his body.

    The masked man didn't expect that he would do this, and looked surprised: "You want to let us go?"

    Gongsun Zhuoyu did not answer, only shook the bloody hidden weapon in his hand: "You held me hostage all the way, and I have avenged you. You leave the capital and don't come back again. Jianghu people should not be involved in the court.".”

    The masked man covered the wound and looked at him with a pale face: "But corrupt officials are punishable by everyone. Is it possible that we should watch the people being slaughtered by mermaids?"

    Gongsun Zhuoyu shook his head: "If you use your own force and kill people at will, what's the use of the law? What's the use of us officials? Jianghu affairs must be solved by Jianghu people, and officialdom affairs must also be solved by officialdom.Man’s solution.”

    After saying that, he got up from the ground and said to Wu Yue: "Let them go."

    The masked man's chest rose and fell when he heard this. It was obvious that he was not convinced by Gongsun Zhuoyu's words, but he did not argue.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu saw the masked man and Mo Jingxian helping Ye Wuhen to leave. Halfway there, he suddenly turned around and suddenly said: "Gongsun Zhuoyu——"

    Gongsun raised his eyes and asked, "Do you have any advice?"

    The masked man paused, then raised his hands and clasped his fists: "...Today I owe you three lives. If we meet again by fate one day, I will definitely repay this debt."

    Gongsun Zhuoyu shook his sleeves with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, but I am now in a high position, and I can expect wealth and glory. I will definitely have a smooth life in the future. I am afraid that you will not need to repay my kindness."

    The masked man did not expect that he would answer like this, and took a deep look at Gongsun Zhuoyu: "Gongsun Zhuoyu, there is one thing you said wrong. If there is a conflict between black and white in the court, it will naturally not be our Jianghu people's turn to solve the problem.But today’s world is so filthy that we can only see black and not white, and if we don’t come out, where will anyone be able to uphold justice?”

    After he finished speaking, he slowly backed away, leading Ye Wuhen and his party away from here, and his figure quickly disappeared into the vast night.

    Shi Qianqiu held the sword in both hands and leaned against the tree nearby. When he saw this, he remembered something from the past. His eyes were a little distant and he was in a daze.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu walked thoughtfully towards the carriage. When he passed by Shi Qianqiu, he saw that he was in a daze and waved his hand in front of his eyes: "What is Master thinking about?"

    Seeing this, Shi Qianqiu came back to his senses and reacted. He unscrewed the wine bottle at his waist and took a sip of wine. He sighed and said, "It's nothing. I just feel that you are becoming more and more like the old master."

    Sir?

    Gongsun Zhuoyu was stunned for a moment before he realized that he was talking about his long-dead father. He laughed twice and scratched his head: "Master, I just think you are praising me."

    He vaguely remembered that Shi Qianqiu once said that he owed Mr. Gongsun a favor, so he stayed by his side to protect him.

    Shi Qianqiu didn't say anything. He quickly got on his horse, left everyone behind and went back to his house first. He was a man of the world and had always been a loner.

    Seeing this, Gongsun Zhuoyu also got into the carriage.He squeezed to sit next to Du Lingchun and said: "Company, let's go back."

    Du Lingchun held a tea cup in his hand and raised his eyelids when he heard this: "Go back? Where are you going back?"

    Gongsun Zhuoyu said blankly: "Of course I'm going back home."

    Du Lingchun said with a half-smile, "I told you earlier, I thought Master Gongsun was going to visit a prostitute."

    Gongsun Zhuoyu: "..."

    The author has something to say: Shi Qianqiu: He doesn’t have the courage
