Chapter 153 has always been despicable
After resting at the foot of the mountain for about two moments, the sky gradually brightened up.
Sunlight leaks through the mountains, forming a weak golden light, which suddenly bursts out in an instant, quickly swallowing the haze, and the sky brightens several times, with the surrounding scenery becoming clear.
A string of urgent hoofbeats suddenly came from the small path, startling the birds in the forest, which flew up with a flurry, and the whole world seemed to come alive.
The swordsmen who were following him immediately became vigilant and raised their hands to grip the hilts of their swords.
Ji Bian hastily turned his head and saw a sorrel horse galloping towards him with someone on its back. The person on the horseback was tall and wore a brown robe, with his hair casually tied up in a bun on top of his head, and a three-inch long beard under his chin. Under his dense eyebrows, his eyes were still as calm as ever, revealing a steel-like determination.
"Big Brother!" Ji Bian was overjoyed, waving his arm and shouting loudly, suddenly becoming much more lively. Since Song Chu didn't let her call him "General" anymore, Ji Yu had told him to address him like this, but they hadn't called each other that many times before parting ways.
Those swordsmen heard the voice and knew the relationship between the newcomer and Ji Bian, so they relaxed a little.
"Whoa!" Ji Yu's mount arrived in the blink of an eye, stopping abruptly in front of Ji Bian. With a nimble dismount, he threw a few casual punches at his chest.
"Looks like this outing has been quite effective?" Song Chu walked over, smiling as he tossed the rice wine in his hand to Ji Yu.
Ji Yu took out a wine pouch and bowed his head slightly towards Song Shi, saying "Sir, it's been a long time, I hope you're doing well?"
"Very good." Song Chu looked up and down at Ji Yu, seeing that his clothes were old and worn out, and knew that after leaving, he really went to relax and clear his mind, "Looks like your mood has improved a lot."
"Mr. Meng guides." said Ji Yu Dao.
At that time, when Song Chuyi was persuading him, he didn't really take it to heart, thinking it was just empty talk. However, during this period, he saw the vastness of Longxi, went to the boundless Shennongjia, and everything seemed endless. People in it looked so small, and the persistence in their hearts also became insignificant. Only when he thought back to what Song Chuyi had said did he feel that it made a lot of sense.
Only those who have experienced such openness can appreciate the true meaning of Song Chu-yi's "empty talk".
"What are your plans for the future?" Song Chu hoped that Ji Yu could stay in Qin State. Ji Yu was a down-to-earth person, with the boldness of Qin people and the unique way of dealing with the world of Yin Shang people. He stayed in Qin State, undoubtedly he would have a bright future.
Apart from this, it also gave Song Chu a boost. Previously, Song Chu had also put in a lot of effort on Ji Yu's body, but as the contact deepened, she thought it was really hard to ask for someone like Ji Yu, so at this moment, she just held the attitude of "getting what I want is lucky, not getting what I want is fate".
"Sir, if you don't abandon me, Ji Yu is willing to follow you!" Ji Yu bowed solemnly.
Song Chu quickly reached out to help him up. A hint of a smile escaped from the bottom of his eyes. "To be able to get help from such a righteous hero like Yu, Huai Jin has no regrets!"
Guhan was also very aware of Song Chu's actions before. She risked her life alone in the Wei State, using her own life to exchange for Rong Yu's. Such a heart and kindness are worth repaying with one's remaining life. If he were in Rong Yu's position today, he would make the same choice.
"Sir, we can set off now." Gu Han reminded.
"Let's go, we'll talk about our past encounters when we enter the country of Ba." Song Chu punched his chest with a loud thud, took the reins handed over by Gu Han, and mounted his horse.
Ji Bian reached out and pulled Ji Yu back. Ji Yu knew he had something to say, so after mounting their horses, the two of them fell behind the cavalry by about ten zhang.
"Big brother, have you really decided to follow Mr. Song?" Ji Bian had been staying by Song Chu's side all along, only waiting for Yu Ruo to return. Although he admired Song Chu from the bottom of his heart, he had never thought of entrusting his future to a woman's hands.
"Hmm." Ji Yu responded with a murmur, her gaze passing over the group of black-clad men to catch sight of Song Chuyi's figure. "Many men can't compare to her. She has both the ambitions and talents of a man; I'd like to see what she can do."
Ji Bian and Ji Yu have been friends for over ten years, their feelings are not ordinary. Ji Bian knows Song Chu Yi's true identity as a woman, so he naturally wouldn't hide it from Ji Yu.
At first, Ji Yue had an attitude of suspicion and supervision as he followed Song Chu Yi to persuade the various countries. When things were exposed and he was bound to the execution ground as a scapegoat, it did not surprise him in the least, because from the beginning, he had never placed his hopes on a woman. He felt that no matter how different a woman might be, she was still just a woman after all. So when Song Chu Yi almost sacrificed her own life to save him, although he was shocked, grateful and admiring, he was not convinced.
However, after leaving this period of time, he thought that he had seen through many things. For example, Song Chu's initial move seemed to be just a temporary gesture of righteousness, but in fact, it grasped the key and secured victory.
Although he felt that Song Chu Yi's righteousness had some false components after seeing the essence of things, it once again subverted his understanding of women.
There is a woman, with jade in her bosom and a gem in her hand.
Ji Yu felt that it was not in vain for him to live under the same roof as a man of his stature. At least, with her courage and great wisdom, he couldn't compare to her.
"But... " Ji Bian hesitated, sighed and said, "When I'm with you, sir, I often forget that she's a woman, but occasionally when I remember, I feel uncomfortable in my heart."
Xue Ya smiled and said, "I'm not forcing you to sacrifice yourself for her either. If you're unwilling, no one will force you."
"How could I not?!" Ji Bian furrowed his thick eyebrows. Last time, he and Song Chuyi went to the Betting Society together, and it was him who sold the information as a guarantee! At that time, everyone was looking for Song Chuyi everywhere, and in order to conceal his identity, he thought it was reasonable to do so, but now the Betting Society has come to its senses and is chasing after him everywhere.
Ji Bian roughly told Ji Yu about the matter, and said, "Although I shouldn't say this, but...I still suspect that Mr. intentionally framed me, cutting off my retreat."
"Need to doubt?" Ji Yu looked at Qi Bian with a glance, and said lightly, "She has always been so despicable."
Ji Bian nodded affirmatively, his dark face showing a hint of annoyance. However, despite the annoyance, he couldn't bring himself to feel resentful.
"I don't want to follow her, big brother, do you have a good way?" Ji Bian was full of grievances.
"Go to Bo Yi's place." Yue Guo said resolutely.
"It's still meat on the chopping board!" Ji Bian roared.
Someone in the front team turned back to look over, Ji Bian put away his raging anger, and the five senses on a rough face were all scrunched up.
Boyi Society had already guessed that the person who sold the information at that time was Song Chuyi, but there was no conclusive evidence, so they targeted Ji Bian instead. As for what they did, no one could have guessed it.
It's uncertain whether it's auspicious or ominous, how can you just rush over and let others manipulate you.
