[Sword Three] Why do you want to cut milk if you can output?

Facing everyone's eyes, Chu Qiu knelt down calmly and looked at Zhao Yunsheng.

She unabashedly hooked a mocking smile, and repeated her words, "You ask me, why?"

"Yeah, why?" Chu Qiu reached out and pinched her jaw, making her want to speak but unable to speak.

The two soldiers who subdued Zhao Yunsheng seemed to want to do something, but under Wang Zhongsi's laissez-faire gaze, they calmed down again and allowed Chu Qiu to confront Zhao Yunsheng.

"Because I won't set fire to the camp for my own benefit." Chu Qiu lowered his voice, but his tone was even colder.

Just like Zhao Yunsheng gave up his gentle pretense, Chu Qiu also gave up the soft inside and tough outside, and his whole person became extremely aggressive.She didn't use much, but said to Zhao Yunsheng in a voice that everyone could hear, "Do you know how many people will die if this fire is not extinguished in time?"

"When you are being sought after by men and enjoying the preferential treatment that this face brings to you, have you ever thought that it is they who stick to the border towns so that you can harm others without worry? Now you don't care about their lives because you want to seek refuge in a foreign country? !"

"Zhao Yunsheng, what you disdain, trample on, and hurt are the soldiers who have been protecting you! Not those suitors who bow down under your skirt for your beauty!" Chu Qiu narrowed her eyes, her anger was evident. The question broke out unabashedly, "They have defended their home and country for many years, but they want to lose their lives for your own selfish desires?"

"——Zhao Yunsheng, what are you doing?"

There was no sound, even Wang Zhongsi and his party, who were soldiers, were momentarily stunned by Chu Qiu's words.

"...It's just some hypocritical words."

Zhao Yunsheng's face was pale, and her expression was erratic, but she was not moved by Chu Qiu's words, or she didn't care what Chu Qiu said. "You, who are also villains, don't you have your own purpose when you come here?"

"Don't say you came to Mobei 'unintentionally'." She pulled out a pale smile, and her whole body was full of malice towards Chu Qiu, "Rescuing Li Zhen won their trust, helping Wang Zhongsi find spies and being appreciated, Even successfully exposing me, the 'good luck' of all this is too much of a coincidence, isn't it?"

"Chu Qiu, why don't you dare to reveal your purpose?"

"I dare."

Chu Qiu stood up again. She glanced at Li Zhen who didn't know whether to come in, then looked at Zhao Yunsheng again, and said with a light smile, "My purpose is only one——I want to be liked by Lieutenant General Li."

Without the suddenly indescribable gazes of other people in the account, nor did they notice Li Zhen's blushing face suddenly, Chu Qiu didn't care about the transition from the interrogation field to the emotional drama at all, and calmly said the words that made Li Zhen's heart beat faster .

"The reason for helping General Wang is very simple, because he is someone whom Lieutenant General Li admires, and I... like him, respect generals who don't care about fame and wealth, and even more admire the soldiers who defend their homeland day and night."

Chu Qiu's gaze fell on Wang Zhongsi and the others at the right time. Even though he knew they couldn't see, Chu Qiu couldn't help softening his eyes under the veil, and praised them sincerely.

"They protected me when I wasn't looking... Just knowing that was enough to make me reach out."

"Because, they spend their whole lives protecting the world, and they deserve to be treated with tenderness by the world."

It was Wang Zhongsi's order that Zhao Yunsheng was taken down.

If nothing else, her stealing of military secrets was serious enough to be imprisoned by the army.

Perhaps Chu Qiu's words played a role. When Chu Qiu acquiesced that he was the villain in the Valley of the Evil, although Yanhe frowned, he still took a posture of protecting her; Even Wang Zhongsi gave her a comforting smile, indicating that she could sit down and talk as before.

Of course Chu Qiu sat down according to his wishes, but of course she didn't point out that there were still a few elite soldiers hiding in the dark.Yanhe cheered up after she sat down, and stood next to Chu Qiu with a shield, without sitting down.

After that, Chu Qiu saw that Li Zhen regained his composure and walked in, and sat opposite her.

"Miss Chu is from the Valley of the Wicked?"

After the two were seated, Wang Zhongsi got to the point.

"Yes." Chu Qiu nodded, and silently changed the title of I Changning to Wu Qingcheng's, and then answered Wang Zhongsi's words. "But in the past, I was indeed a member of Qixiufang... I wonder if you have heard the name 'Dancing Allure'?"

"Oh? That dancer who was very popular."

"General Wang knows?" Chu Qiu was a little surprised now, after all, she didn't have much time to be famous as a dancer, and Wang Zhongsi was not like someone who liked to enjoy singing and dancing.

"Because of some reasons." Wang Zhongsi did not explain in detail.

Tibetan Sword makes weapons for Tiance every year. Wang Zhongsi, who was fortunate enough to lead part of Tiance's army, was also invited by Tibetan Sword to go to the villa and chose a weapon that was convenient for him. Personal disciple.

He still looks a little green, but he is undoubtedly a good seedling, and even Ye Ying's calm and steady has been vaguely revealed from him.

The reason why he knew about Wu Qingcheng was because he had heard that this extremely talented personal disciple had spent all his energy to find out about Wu Qingcheng's whereabouts—of course, there was no result.

"Can I trust the girl?" Thoughts flashed, Wang Zhongsi turned his attention to reality.

He doesn't doubt Ye Ying's way of cultivating people, so he doesn't think that Chu Qiu, who can be remembered by the master's direct disciple for many years and trusted by Yanhe, has any malice towards them. Still put doubts on the surface.

Hearing his question, Chu Qiu tilted his head and chuckled.

Different from the coldness when facing Zhao Yunsheng before, the smile now melts like winter snow, making people suddenly calm down.

"Everyone says there is black and white in the world, and there is good and evil in the world. The world simply thinks that black is evil and white is good."

Her tone was calm and calm, and she was calm and at ease.It seems that the dialogue between them is not mutual suspicion, but a heart-to-heart talk after dinner.

"The opposite of goodness must be evil, and it must be punished by everyone. Because he is a wicked person, the things he does must be heinous. Even if a wicked person does a good thing, he is hypocritical and has a purpose in his heart; and if he is a good person, then the good person What you do must be for the country and the people, even if a good person does a bad thing, it is a last resort, and there are excuses.”

Chu Qiu lifted his chin slightly, and faced Wang Zhongsi, "General, do you have the same idea?"

"There is no such thing as absolute black and white in this world." Wang Zhongsi is nearly forty years old, and he has already seen it clearly.Not to mention that he is a well-known general, and he has also witnessed those bad things in the officialdom, "Good and evil are both black and white, and people will not be good and evil for a lifetime."

He has seen loyal people being muddied by the water in the officialdom, and he has also seen villains who do all kinds of evil to do good because of a certain opportunity.

The human heart is always unfathomable, let alone the good and evil evolved from the human heart.

"As the general said, good and evil are linked in one thought." Chu Qiu nodded, "Actually, if you think about it carefully, how many people have actually seen the evil deeds of evildoers that are widely rumored in the world, but It’s just a rumor.”

"What does the girl mean?"

"Everyone in the world knows that the people in the Valley of the Evil do a lot of evil, but..." she sighed softly, "Many of them are 'helpless' people."

"What kind of girl is that?"

"Me? Probably helpless."

Chu Qiu's half-truth and half-false words made the whole tent quiet.

Wang Zhongsi thought of the opportunity when Yiyinglou was transformed into Qixiufang, Yanhe thought of how Chu Qiu was protecting the villagers when Daoxiang Village was threatened by Dong Long, and Li Zhen suddenly wanted to ask what happened to her before she chose to go there A place like the Valley of the Wicked.

But no matter what, Chu Qiu's rhetoric caused others to struggle with her identity as a villain, but they did not reject her existence.

Chu Qiu: A group of celebrities were eyeing them, but I won the victory with my mouth. It's really exciting.

Everything was settled, and the imperial decree arrived as scheduled.

Unsurprisingly, the content was the canonized secret edict, which stated that Li Zhen and Wang Zhongsi should return to Chang'an to attend the New Year ceremony together, and by the way, taking advantage of the festive occasion, they would also be commended for their achievements in pacifying the Turks.

"You take the brothers back first." Wang Zhongsi took the imperial edict and said to Li Zhen, "Have you not returned for a few years? Chang'an City is as lively as ever."

"What about you, General?"

"I'll go back to the border to have a look first." Wang Zhongsi put away the imperial decree respectfully, his expression normal. It's completely unexpected that what he's thinking about now is dealing with the remnants of the rebel army who have been exposed. "We will return to Chang'an before the New Year's ceremony."

"Yes."

In this way, Li Zhen set off to return to Chang'an with his brother who came to Mobei with him.

Chu Qiu naturally went back with him, but Yanhe didn't.

"I will stay in Mobei for a while." When Yanhe went to see Chu Qiu off, he hesitated for a long time before saying goodbye, "After the handover of Mobei is over, I will take the Cangyun Army back to Yanmen Pass."

"I'm no better than Tiance Army, and I can't leave Cangyun easily, so I can't go to you casually... But, I will pay attention to your news, sister."

He was already a teenager, but he still looked at her with such a concerned expression just like when he was a child.

"Okay." Chu Qiu hugged him, and said in a soothing tone as he had faced him before, "This time, I will write a few more letters."

Anyway, the time is back on track, and she can write to Yanhe in the normal way.

"Sister, have a good trip."

"Xiaoyan, you too, have a good journey."

The mighty army was lined up neatly, as if they knew they were going home soon, and the atmosphere of the entire army was full of warmth.

"Vice General Li."

In the middle of the army, it was Li Zhen and Chu Qiu who were walking side by side.

"Miss Chu."

Even though they have a good relationship, they still call each other distant names, but they don't feel awkward at all, and they have no plans to change.

"Vice General Li hasn't replied to me yet."

"……what?"

Seeing Li Zhen stunned, Chu Qiu kindly repeated it.

This time, she spoke in more detail, "I said, Lieutenant General Li didn't reply to me. About what I said - 'I want to be liked by the Lieutenant General', this matter."

"Wh-I—this matter—" Li Zhen was a little flustered by her confession again.

It's not that Li Zhen hasn't had the experience of being courted, it's just that there isn't any little girl like Chu Qiu who is not enthusiastic or weak, but asks him how he feels about her in a natural tone.

These words were so straightforward that he had to face her problem, and he had to admit in his heart that he didn't hate her, and even because of her words, he felt an undue joy in his heart.

"So, your answer?"

Chu Qiu looked at the [-] favors on the panel, and had no intention of adding to the flames.Unlike when he was facing Xiaoyao back then, when Chu Qiu was facing Li Zhen, he always subconsciously saved his hand.

why?Probably because he didn't want this general, who already had a heavy responsibility, to bear a heavy but ethereal love on her back.

"Vice General Li, don't worry." Seeing his hesitation, Chu Qiu understood his answer, but heaved a sigh of relief.She smiled softly, not pretending to be relaxed, but really relaxed and smiling at him.

"The sons and daughters of the Jianghu have always been free and easy. If the deputy general does not have this intention, I will not force it."

Hearing what she said, Li Zhen didn't feel relieved, on the contrary, he was a little worried, even sour.

But he soon realized that he should feel lucky, because he was destined to have only one answer.

"Sorry, Miss Chu." Li Zhen heard his own voice, "I can't accept Miss Chu's love."

"Why?" Chu Qiu simply asked, not out of reconciliation, "Because of my face? Or..."

"Absolutely not."

"I said that the girl is very good, and the desire to protect the girl is not false. But—" Li Zhen shook his head to stop her self-deprecation, the struggle in his eyes faded and turned into firmness, "But I am a genius. Cejun, the romance... I haven't considered it for the time being."

Chu Qiu blinked, and heard his words that seemed to comfort and explain.

"Besides, as a strategist, I can't promise the girl...that I can die with the girl."

Therefore, he didn't want to delay her, the only choice was to let her go.

Ah, this man.

Chu Qiu sighed silently, but did not show any disappointment because of his refusal, and even seemed incredibly gentle.

"System, settle the main line now."

"checking……"

"Target: Li Zhen, the favorability has reached 'Unreciable Friend (800)'"

"Rewards for the main line of settlement: 800 gold, 800 achievement points, and an 'unidentified manufacturing blueprint'."

"Sub-quest (completed): Find the Turkic spy in the camp and successfully expose it (2/2)"

"Settlement branch reward: achievement point 200, gold 2000"

"Hidden Branch (Completed): Discovering Nanzhao's Conspiracy (1/1)"

"Hidden Branch Reward: Achievement Points 500, Nanzhao King's token x1"

"Hidden branch (completed): Improve Tiance Army and Wang Zhongsi's established impression of the Valley of the Wicked (1/1)"

"Hidden Branch Reward: 200 Achievement Points"

"World mission: Get 1 points to get a new life, mission progress: 10200/10000"

"Congratulations host, you are free."

The system's calculation lasted only a few seconds, so Chu Qiu briefly glanced over the system's congratulations, and looked intently at Li Zhen who was waiting for her response.

"I understand." She stopped the horse, forcing Li Zhen to stop too, "Since that's the case, I won't pester the lieutenant anymore... let's leave now."

"Of course, I didn't give up easily." She pulled up the veil and looked directly at him, "If the golden age comes, you won't be able to reject me with the same reason again? I just...willing to wait until that moment. "

"Girl..." Li Zhen opened his eyes slightly, unable to tell where the sudden movement in his heart came from.

"before that……"

Chu Qiu leaned over, stretched out his hand to support his shoulder, and pressed it down, causing him to bow his head involuntarily.

"I wish you, every time you go to war, you will return triumphant."

The moment he lowered his head, Chu Qiu kissed his forehead, and the Gu art fell silently.

Take the order on behalf of the king, and keep the king safe.

——For, life and death Gu.

The author has something to say:

Chu Qiu: Be firm on the skin (after kissing, he raises his hand and puts Phoenix Gu on himself).

Life and death Gu is an item in the system mall (buy it directly with gold), so there is no saying that it needs to be on the same map to take effect, but the heroine's Phoenix Gu is not good, and other people except herself cannot be brought back to life (such as life and death Gu) How could the standard plot of the Five Poisons not be written!).

I didn’t write the scene I was going to write (but the chaos forces didn’t add it in vain!), because I thought it was too abrupt to add it (the heroine broke out once and it’s not easy to write again, and the scale is too small now), but after thinking about it , The plot is written in the fourth part and there is no sense of disobedience, so let's move it to the fourth part and write it again.

After this chapter, the next two chapters are the first-stage endings of Li Zhen and Yanhe (and then the third part ends). It should be reminded that the fourth part is out of the current timeline, so the next chapter starts The plot extends further, and it will directly continue to the fifth part.

[small theater]

Wang Zhongsi: Possessing a powerful source of information, and hiding her face from others, she is still a villain in the Valley of the Evil. Could it be that she is...

Chu Qiu: General, I advise you to stay calm, your description makes me a little bit smart!

Unquenchable Smoke: ... Heh.

(Yihan behind Wang Zhongsi dismissed this idea)
