Chapter 195 I Stabbed You
Chapter 195 I Stabbed You
The Duke of Anguo in the pavilion heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the Second Prince and the others leave. Ji Lian took a sip of the tea in front of him.
"Why did the Second Prince suddenly come here?"
Xiao Huaimin looked at Duke Anguo anxiously.
"I'm afraid it's about standing in line..."
Duke Anguo sighed silently, thinking about Xiao Huaimin's recent performance in the court, and spoke carefully,
"In fact, if we really have to choose a side, the Second Prince might not be a bad choice..."
Everyone in the pavilion was shocked. Madam Ji and Madam Xiao looked at each other, both feeling a little uneasy.
"Let's take one step at a time."
Duke Anguo picked up the cup in front of Xiao Huaimin and poured the tea out onto the ground.
"The tea is cold, make a new pot..."
On the other side, Jiang Tunan looked at Hua Bei who was in a state of great embarrassment and felt a little strange.
"Why are you here?"
Jiang Tunan wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Xiao Mingli.
"Cousin, be careful..."
Hua Bei's eyes were a little evasive, but Xiao Mingyue did not give him a chance to dodge.
"Say it!"
Hua Bei looked embarrassed and was about to speak when Jiang Tunan interrupted him.
"Cousins, I know this person. He is not a bad person. Can you let me talk to him alone?"
Hua Bei was slightly surprised and looked up at the person who was speaking. The girl was wearing a light green dress and had a sincere expression on her face.
"Thank you, cousins. Please."
Jiang Tunan sent the Xiao and Ji families away with a smile on his face, leaving only Chunhua by his side.
Ji Lingyue was worried and kept looking back. Ji Yiheng comforted him,
"Don't worry, little sister. That person looks like he has been hungry for a long time and should not have much strength. Sister Jiang said that they know each other and there will be no danger."
Jiang Tunan took off the hairpin on her head seemingly casually and held it tightly in her hand.
"Did something happen to you?"
Judging from the previous dream, he should want me to guide Hua Bei onto the right path, influence his heart, and prevent him from turning evil and killing innocent people.
But to put it nicely, the blackening is blinded by hatred, and to put it bluntly, it is revenge against society. Now that Wushi Village has been destroyed and Gulang has jumped off a cliff and died, it is indeed a bit strange that Hua Bei appeared here for no reason.
Jiang Tunan didn't send everyone away because she was overestimating her own abilities. On the contrary, it would be more convenient for her to do things if everyone was not around.
Although Jiang Tunan didn't know much about psychology, he knew a little about anatomy. If there was anything wrong with this guy, he would kill him.
Take advantage of his illness and kill him!
What's more, Chunhua is here. Huabei looks so sick now that Chunhua can kill three of them with one punch.
"It's a long story."
Hua Bei: Why do I feel a little cold on my back?
"Then please keep your words short. I'm in a hurry."
Jiang Tunan crossed his arms and looked down at Hua Bei lying on the ground.
Hua Bei knelt on the ground. He wanted to stand up but he had no strength because he had been hungry for too long.
"That day, after the man in black rescued me, he randomly found a place to leave me and left. That place seemed to be in disaster, and many families had no food. I could only rush to Kyoto on an empty stomach. Then, I met you."
Jiang Tunan was thinking in his heart, if what Hua Bei said was true, then why did the man in black save Hua Bei, and then ignore him after saving him.
"So what are you going to do now? Are you going to get revenge?"
Hua Bei didn't expect Jiang Tunan to ask so directly. He really wanted revenge, but how could he do it? Meng Jingchen was the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion. The Rongguo Mansion was extremely powerful and no one could shake its position.
"What would you do if I told you I wanted revenge?"
"Let's see how you take revenge."
Hua Bei seemed to have gathered up enough courage, and slowly raised his head to look at Jiang Tunan again, only to see the girl squatting down and speaking to him at eye level,
"If you are determined to take revenge by any means necessary, even at the cost of innocent lives, and turn yourself into a bloodthirsty demon, I will stab you to death right now."
Jiang Tunan pressed the mechanism and the blade popped out immediately. Jiang Tunan blocked it in front of Hua Bei.
"What if it's not like this?"
Hua Bei asked in a low voice, his eyes fixed on Jiang Tunan.
"If you take the formal route, I won't stop you."
Jiang Tunan retracted the blade and put the hairpin back into his hair.
"What are you going to do?"
Hua Bei looked down at his tattered clothes, his voice filled with reluctance.
"The formal way. Look at me. I am just a pariah in the eyes of those powerful people. If I don't take other ways, when will I be able to take revenge?"
“Can I ask you a question?”
"what?"
Jiang Tunan looked very serious, different from any man Hua Bei had ever seen him before.
"If a high-ranking official from Dayin reaches out to you and offers to help you take revenge as long as you can help him attack Daxing, will you accept or not?"
"Let me ask you another question. If the person you want to kill is a pillar of the country, and if he dies, the whole country will be in chaos and many people will be displaced, will you kill him or not?"
"Let me ask you one more question. Do you know who is behind Gu Lang? Do you know why he is being hunted by the government?"
The series of questions left Hua Bei speechless and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"From the look on your face I already know the answer."
Jiang Tunan slowly stood up and stretched his feet, which were numb from squatting for so long.
"Hua Bei, let me tell you, Gu Lang is backed by the Zhenguo Mansion, and he was executed for collaborating with the enemy."
"You are only thinking about revenge for Gu Lang now. You think the court is unfair, but do you know how many innocent people died at the border because of the Duke of Zhenguo's collusion with the enemy? The families of those who died in vain are in the same situation as you are now."
"I don't know those complicated truths, but I know that the country is always greater than the individual."
"If you infringe upon national interests and threaten people's lives, I will never let you go."
In the bushes a little further away from Hua Bei, Xiao Mingxu and a few others huddled together to eavesdrop.
"Sister Xiaonan looks carefree, but I didn't expect her to be such a righteous person."
Ji Yiheng looked at Jiang Tunan in the distance with admiration, while Xiao Mingxu beside him said proudly,
"That's! My cousin~"
"Speak louder, she will hear you."
Xiao Mingrui hid in a tree in the grass where Xiao Mingxu was, looking in the direction of Jiang Tunan with deep eyes.
"It's great that you can climb a tree, but you have the ability to come down."
Xiao Mingxu spoke in dissatisfaction, and Xiao Mingli silently covered his mouth.
"Be quiet for a moment, I can hardly hear you."
Xiao Mingxu: ...
"So now, what do you think?"
Jiang Tunan was already a little hungry, and it was almost time for dinner. If Hua Bei continued to be stubborn, he would just stab him to death.
Jiang Tunan thought so and silently took off the hairpin.
"I don't believe that the person who can make Brother Gulang follow him all his life is a traitor who collaborates with the enemy and betrays the country..."
"Then go and prove it, find evidence, and overturn the verdict."
