Back Off, Let Me Come Chapter 967

The craziest and most daring thing that the landlady has ever done in her life is to run away from her marriage. After the family made a marriage contract, she ran away from her marriage on the eve of her wedding. When she learned of the hastily concluded engagement, she strongly opposed it and burst into tears hoping to take it back.

　　【If you don't marry into the Gong family, who do you want to marry? 】

 The landlady's despairing eyes were filled with hope.

 The name of Lan Yan's confidant was revealed categorically.

Unexpectedly, the elders sneered at him.

How can a romantic dandy who spends all his time among the crowds of celebrities protect you and be your beloved? Not to mention, his father offended Zheng Qiao to death, and a disaster will be imminent soon! 】

The landlady then found out that the lover's family belonged to the wall-riding faction in the court, and they would fall to whichever faction was more popular, which was despised by many scholar-bureaucrats. I remember that back then, before Zheng Qiao returned to China and she was favored by many people, her lover's family was extremely flattering to Zheng Qiao.

 After Zheng Qiao returned to China, he immediately changed his face.

He said a lot of curses to Zheng Qiao in public.

No one expected that Zheng Qiao would ascend the throne of Geng Kingdom and come back with the best soldiers and generals of Geng Kingdom. Those who offended him in the past would naturally be liquidated. If the landlady marries her lover, she may be implicated before the wedding even begins and lose her life.

The landlady was unconvinced: [Is Gong Cheng a good man? I don't even know him, and you yourself have said that I will like whoever I marry in the future. Why go back on your word? Don't marry! 】

 Since childhood, people around her have always been obedient to her. This sudden appearance, ignoring her wishes, made the rebellious mood in her heart reach its peak. She doesn't want to marry Gong Cheng!

　　【No matter how bad it is, it is still thousands of times better than the one you picked! You have to marry even if you don't want to, you are really going to **** us old people off to death...]

The elders have a strict attitude and their tone does not tolerate disobedience.

　　【You are not allowed to go anywhere, prepare well for your marriage! In the past, we pampered you too much, and it's not your turn to make the decision in this matter! 】Even when she was at the peak of her anger, the slap she raised didn't really land on her face.

This simple wedding is almost done. The more the landlady thought about it, the more panicked she became. She couldn't help but want to find her lover to discuss countermeasures, but on the way to find him, she found a group of soldiers rampaging on the street. Their destination seemed to be in the direction of the lover's house?

 Her elders' instructions suddenly appeared in her mind, and her hands and feet were cold.

 At night, when she was sad, her lover appeared in a panic.

When Zheng Qiao sent people to raid his home and arrest him, he happened to be visiting friends and escaped. His parents even replaced his identity with a boy of similar stature. This move is not foolproof, and we still need to find a safe place as soon as possible. He was alone and desperate, and he really didn't know who he could turn to to save his life. At a loss, he thought of Mrs. Shen and wanted to get shelter from her.

I took the risk to come to meet, but unexpectedly found signs of happy events everywhere in Shen's house, and a wedding dress was placed in the boss's residence.

It is clear at a glance who is going to marry.

 The two hugged each other and cried.

　　【I'm leaving, you have to take care of yourself. I have met Gong Yunchi, he is a good match, you and I just think that we are not destined for each other. 】This is just a way for him to play the emotional card and retreat in order to advance. In his heart, he hopes to hide in Shen's house, safe and sound.

Who would have expected that the landlady would say something surprising.

 A trace of determination flashed across her face!

【let's go together! ] The landlady suddenly grabbed his arm as he was about to leave, her back molars trembling with excitement, [What's the use of Gong Cheng being so nice? It has nothing to do with me! I haven't even met or spoken to Gong's husband a few times, so why do I have to marry him? I will only marry the person I like in this life, no one can force me. Let's go together? 】

The lover hesitated: [But your parents...]

She said: "Marry whoever you want!" 】

Hurryly packed up the gold and silver and followed the other party to escape from the marriage.

 She also knew in her heart that her behavior was inappropriate, but the elders in her family had always indulged her and took care of her no matter what trouble she got into.

Looking at the young man who was carefully absconding with her, her thoughts wandered - she didn't like this guy that much. In her infancy, finding a blue-faced confidant was just to compete with others.

 If you find yourself running away from marriage, even if your elders are angry at the time, they will forgive you after a while. And by using a young man to escape from marriage, she will apologize to him properly after the storm has passed.

 The young man's mind is simpler.

 He has a hostage in his hand. Even if Dong Chuang is caught and brought back, Mr. Shen will try his best to conceal his identity and protect his safety in order not to be held accountable by Zheng Qiao. The two of them embarked on the road to escape from marriage with their own thoughts, but received news from the Shen Yi clan halfway.

 In an instant, it was like being struck by lightning.

All plans have come to nothing.

 I heard that not only the Shen family, but the Gong family also suffered.

He was arrested and imprisoned on Gong Cheng's wedding day.

 Gong's ending was better than Shen's. He was just exiled and sent to prison. If he survived the hardships on the road to distribution, he might still be alive.

The landlady guessed that a substitute bride had been found in the family to cover her up, and while feeling sad, she also realized how much trouble she had caused. During that time, she was distraught and had thoughts of death several times. For some reason, the lover who took her to escape from marriage did not abandon her.

【You still have me. 】

 The two of them went to seek refuge with distant relatives.

 It's just that there are wars everywhere and there are many dangers along the way.

Although the lover has some talent in cultivation, he is spoiled and cannot bear the hardships of cultivation. He has always been lazy when he can, and perfunctory when he can. His past victories were all deliberately let down by his opponents. The elders in the family pampered him and did not want him to go into battle to kill enemies or make achievements. The weakness of his strength was his weakness. Anyway, if the family had a great business, they would not worry about the future.

However, God did not go as planned, and the plan could not keep up with the changes.

Two half-grown teenagers with no experience in society. They were naive and simple, and they were shady fugitives. Their lives hung by a thread several times and they suffered a lot during their escape.

She doesn't want to recall those experiences.

More than ten years have passed in circles.

 These years are almost longer than her days in the boudoir.

Just when she thought her life was finally calming down, she unexpectedly met Gong Cheng. To be precise, Gong Cheng came looking for her and recognized her.

At that time, Gong Cheng didn't know her true identity, and he noticed that she only had a face that was 60-70% similar to the leader of Kang State, and that was how they initially interacted with each other until they exchanged names.

 Both were silent and looked at each other.

 In terms of fate, the fate between the two of them is a bad one that cannot be explained away.

Gong Cheng found out that she was the eldest wife of the Shen family who had escaped from marriage, and he was in a calm mood, and he had no intention of killing her in anger.

Asked him why, Gong Cheng just sighed in relief: "You and I are both puppets involuntarily. Will one puppet kill the other puppet because he tried his best to break free from control?" Although I, Gong Cheng, am not a gentleman, I am not completely indifferent to right from wrong. 】

  【There is no point in embarrassing a woman. 】

 After going back and forth, the two of them became familiar with each other.

Gong Cheng would occasionally visit her tea shop.

Previously, the official debt of Jinli County was not high, and he could come and go freely. Now that the relationship between Beimo Kang State is tense, he still goes his own way.

 It can only be said that powerful people can do whatever they want.

 The landlady rested for a while.

 “You should be melancholy for now, I'll go out.”

She stood up on her knees, slung the bamboo basket filled with incense candles on her arm, and made a gesture of going out. Gong Cheng came here for the sake of purity. When he borrowed someone else's land, he should always be concerned about the safety of the owner's family.

 “At this juncture, it's not safe outside.”

"It's not far away. I'll give the dead man a grave and come back. Your spy agents in the Northern Desert have all been wiped out. I saw several familiar heads near the mass graves. The business of the tea shop has been deserted these days, so I just took the time to give it to you." He spent some money and didn't bother me.”

Gong Cheng was silent for a moment: "Is it bothering you?"

After he met the landlady, he found out that she and his wife were engaged to that lover for the rest of their lives. Unfortunately, he died within two years of their marriage.

The landlady nodded and replied casually: "I have had night sweats and dreams lately, and I feel guilty. I often see dead men coming to disturb my purity. I thought he was underground and had no money to spend, so I burned some for him. After all, I was the one who killed him. Yes, it is reasonable for me to burn some paper money for him if he gives me his life." Gong Cheng was silent for a while: "That makes sense, I will give it to you."

 The landlady did not refuse.

 Due to the tense relations between the two countries, various places in Kunzhou have entered a state of preparation for war, and even this small place has many unfamiliar faces.

Once the water is turbid, there will inevitably be bad people fishing in the muddy water. If Gong Cheng goes with him, he can really sit back and relax and be safe.

 The dead man in the mouth lives in a small graveyard.

 The weeds on the grave have long been knee-deep.

Gong Cheng saw her hands clasped together, kneeling in front of the grave with a pious expression, and his eyes moved to her hands again - these hands had rough calluses from years of hard work, the skin was dry and rough from the wind, and the fingers had a stiff straightness. The joints are deformed and appear very inflexible at first glance. But, that's not the case when they skin people.

 When the incense candle burned out, the landlady stood up.

 On a country road, two people are walking in front of each other.

 “This kind of tranquility doesn't come around very often.”

Gong Cheng, who had been two steps behind, suddenly spoke.

Boss Wife: "There is no long-term peaceful place in this world. Even if there is, they are just flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water. Just like the Kang country under our feet now, they are just short-lived."

Gong Cheng paused, and the proprietress in front of him walked a few more steps before she noticed that his breath was far away: "Is it wrong?"

  She stood there and looked back at Gong Cheng.

Gong Cheng said: "It could have lasted longer."

 How to get the national seal in Beimo?

 The person in front of me should know something about the inside story.

Without the national seal in the Northern Desert, there would be no confidence to face the rejuvenated Kang State. Based on the behavior of the Northern Desert for hundreds of years, they will honestly submit to Kang State just like they submitted to the northwest countries in the past.

"How long is it?" The landlady turned her head. Her face was less sharp and sharp, but more low-key and cold. "There's no need to look at me with such suspicious eyes. I didn't do anything. If you don't believe it, you can With such strength, it's easy to kill me.”

Gong Cheng: “…”

The landlady said: "You think highly of me too much."

 After saying that, he left without looking back, and Gong Cheng followed.

As he was about to see the outline of the city gate, Gong Cheng asked the purpose of his trip: "Do you know why we can't contact the inner committee? Something happened?"

The landlady asked back: "When did you find out?"

Gong Cheng said: “A while ago.”

The landlady suddenly smiled charmingly.

“So, after all these years, you didn't try to contact the internal committee until a while ago? Then you found that the internal committee couldn't be contacted?”

Gong Cheng frowned: "No?"

"Okay, why not? Don't say you contacted me a while ago, even if it's ten years later or ten years ago, the result will be the same."

Gong Cheng heard something in the words, and strode forward to block her path: "What do you mean...the inner society couldn't be contacted ten years ago? This is impossible. Before the annual meeting of the Gods Association, members of the inner society Everyone will be present, including the waiters inside, there will be no falsehoods."

The landlady asked back: "Did you see the members of the inner council coming in person?"

Gong Cheng pursed his lips and said nothing.

 He probed: "A member of the inner chamber is dead?"

The landlady thought about it for a while, then shook her head and said, "That's not true. If that can be considered a kind of job, well, it is indeed still alive."

Gong Cheng was about to breathe a sigh of relief, as if some kind of shackles were about to break away from him, but he heard the boss's wife add: "The external conference is much scarier than the internal conference. Instead of worrying about the internal conference, you should worry more about the external conference. After all, who is the one who provokes the power struggle? Not a foreigner?"

 He will be a **** stirrer on the inside, and a **** stirrer on the outside.

Intuition told Gong Cheng that the other party was not lying.

This trip is destined to be fruitless, but Gong Cheng still refuses to give up: "Gong is suspicious, what is Mrs. Shen's identity?"

 This is a question that has puzzled him for a long time.

 According to the investigation, from the time she was born to the time she escaped from marriage, she was an ordinary girl from aristocratic families. If there's anything special about her, it's that the head of the Shen family loves and indulges this only daughter, and responds to her every request.

This is not common in the Kang state today, let alone the Xin state at that time? It's a pity that the Shen family was wiped out and there is no way to investigate.

The landlady smiled and said: "When that person becomes the leader of a subjugated country and a prisoner in the Northern Desert, you will know by asking. Or if you become a defeated general and prisoner under her command, you will get the same answer by asking again."

Gong Cheng shook his head: "No."

 That person admitted that he had no past memories.

Gong Cheng believed that she was not lying.

That person probably doesn't know as much as I do.

"I'm curious, what have you experienced these years?" If you can get clues, you can follow the clues to investigate.

The landlady replied simply: "Escaped from marriage, hid in Tibet, got married, opened a butcher shop to make a living, became a widow, and opened a tea shop after the butcher shop failed. All of these can be found, are you going to check?"

Gong Cheng: “…”

These are no secrets.

 He even knew what kind of meat the butcher shop sold.

 These answers from the landlady were not what he expected.

 When he was about to enter the city, Gong Cheng wanted to say goodbye and leave.

The landlady raised her hand to tuck the fallen hair behind her ears, winked at her charmingly, and said with a sweet smile: "Don't contact me for a while. The imperial chariot is about to go on a personal expedition, so there's no guarantee that you won't reveal your whereabouts. You It doesn't matter if you are surrounded and suppressed, don't involve me and I will be beaten as an accomplice. You can escape from prison without fear of death, but I am just a weak woman with no power to restrain the chicken, and the life of the pretty widow has not been enough."

Gong Cheng's mouth twitched: “Yeah.”

“Because of the close relationship between you and me, let me tell you some information. Foreign aid will arrive in the Northern Desert in the near future.”

Gong Cheng: "Foreign aid? Where does it come from?"

 He said frankly: “I have not received any information.”

The boss's wife said: "It's only normal that you haven't received the news. A general like you runs out every three days without seeing anyone. Who can he keep if he doesn't keep it to you? I don't know where that person came from. I just know that he is a difficult person." Role."

 The next day, a tea guest came to the tea shop as usual.

However, I saw that the tea shop was crowded with people watching the excitement.

Walking through the crowd, I saw the tea shop swaying this way and that, as if it was swept by a strong wind - the tea shop was robbed, and the whereabouts of the proprietress was unknown.
