Chapter 170 Night Talk
Gu Nian'an couldn't answer Ye Jinxiu's question for a moment. He was just a commoner and didn't know much about the general situation in the world, but he could still guess a little through some things.
But before Gu Nian'an could answer, Ye Jinxiu continued, "The general trend of the world is in Jizhou, and the general trend of Jizhou is in the border army.
The border troops have been at war with the barbarians for many years, which is why they have become the strongest army in the world.
To put it bluntly, no matter who he is in this world, as long as he can get the support of the border troops, he will basically be the future emperor of Daqian.
So in a sense, the border troops have become a major threat to the imperial court.
The reason why the imperial court and the border troops can still coexist peacefully is only because the border troops are too strong and they don’t have a suitable excuse.”
"So you are worried that once you leave, something might happen in Wuyun City and someone might frame you."
Ye Jinxiu waved her hand gently and said calmly, "Mr. Gu is wrong. It is not possible, but certain. We came to Wuyun City with great fanfare this time, and the court must know about it.
Therefore, if something unexpected happens in Wuyun City next, our failure to try our best to stop it is a crime in itself, and it is a great crime that will make us lose the trust of the people and lose the support of the people.
My status and Xue's status are both too special. If we stand aside and watch, not only will the people in the court make trouble, but even the common people will be led by some people to become dissatisfied with the border troops."
After listening to Ye Jinxiu's story, Gu Nian'an frowned. He thought that the person in front of him was thinking too much.
In this world, strength is what matters at all times, as long as the border troops are strong enough.
Ha! Does it really matter what others say or do?
But there are too many differences between the general trend of the world and individuals, so it is understandable to think more.
Alas! This is also the disadvantage of being in a high position. You need to be extremely careful with every word and action. If you are careless, the consequences may be quite serious.
But what does this have to do with him? The reason why he is still staying in Wuyun City is just out of compassion as a human being.
If things really reach a point of no return, he will not fight to the death. At most, he will try his best to save the elderly, the weak, women and children.
While Gu Nian'an was still frowning in thought, Ye Jinxiu asked with a slightly solemn expression:
"Mr. Gu, I have an unwelcome request. If the situation in Wuyun City really develops to the worst, I hope you can take Xue Yatou and Xiao Wei away."
After staring at the woman in front of him for a moment, Gu Nian'an hesitated before speaking solemnly.
"Well, sure. If things really reach a point of no return, I will do my best to take them away."
He seldom makes promises to others, but once he does, he will do his best to fulfill it, even if it costs a certain price.
Hearing the young man agree to her request, Ye Jinxiu immediately showed a bright smile on her face. "Mr. Gu, let's not talk about these heavy questions for now. Can you tell me what special skills you practiced to make your eyes look like this? I am quite curious about this."
Haha, this woman's thinking is really unconventional, but Gu Nian'an didn't hide it much.
"It was just an accidental product of being struck by lightning."
Struck by lightning???
Haha, this... is really fantastic.
"Then Mr. Gu's eyes have other functions besides seeing death."
Ye Jinxiu knew that asking such a personal question was a bit too abrupt, but based on her understanding of the boy, he probably wouldn't care about such things.
"As for abilities, there are many. I can see in the dark, I can see things far away, and... I can roughly tell the good from the evil.
For example, you have the black and white energy wrapped around you in addition to the death energy."
"Black and white energy???"
“Well, the presence of mostly black energy means that this person has done a lot of evil. Killing such a person can be considered as getting rid of harm to the people.
As for those with more white air, they should be considered good people. "
After listening to Gu Nian'an's explanation, Ye Jinxiu stared at the young man in front of her with bright eyes and then asked eagerly, "What about me? How do I look like in the eyes of Master Gu?"
Gently putting down the teacup in his hand, Gu Nian'an glanced at the woman opposite him and said, "Well, she is a mixture of black and white. She can't be called a good person, but she is not an absolute bad person either."
"Click"
The teacup in her hand was crushed to pieces. Ye Jinxiu stared at Gu Nian'an with a smile on her face, "Then Mr. Gu must have seen it wrong. I am a well-known kind-hearted person in Xinze County. How could it be what Mr. Gu said?
By the way, Mr. Gu, you should have seen all of us, can you tell me about it?"
He looked at the woman opposite him strangely, but Gu Nian'an did not refuse.
"Except for the two Generals Xu, everyone else is fine, especially Miss Shen, who looks very clear, with almost no black energy."
Ye Jinxiu was stunned for a moment when she heard Gu Nian'an's words. She could understand Xue girl, but she was unusually soft-hearted. She should be thankful that others didn't bully her. It was obviously unrealistic to expect her to do evil.
As for the brothers Xu Biao and Xu Hu, they are both battlefield warriors at the border, so how could they do evil for no reason? "
Perhaps sensing the doubts of the woman in front of him, Gu Nian'an continued to explain, "In my eyes, killing is a serious crime, no matter what the reason is. The two brothers of the Xu family have fought hundreds of battles at the border, and many barbarians have died in their hands.
To the barbarians, they are the absolute evil men who can stop children from crying at night, but in the hearts of the people of Daqian, they are the good men who defend their country, so their good and evil cannot be judged by my eyes. "
"Is this the reason why Master Gu tied a silk scarf around his eyes?"
“Half and half, initially I wanted to conceal the color of my pupils to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
Later, as I became more and more aware of the capabilities of my eyes, I discovered that wearing a scarf allowed me to see others more objectively, without being affected by them.”
"Mr. Gu, I am curious. Your scarf should be an ordinary one without any magical power. Can it really completely cover up the supernatural power of your eyes?"
Ha! Who knows, maybe it's psychological or some other reason, anyway, he thinks it works.
After picking up the teacup from the table and drinking it all, Gu Nian'an stood up and walked out the door. "Mrs. Jiang, it's getting late. You should go to bed early. I still have some things to investigate. I'll take my leave now."
Ye Jinxiu did not try to stop Gu Nian'an from leaving. Instead, she gently reminded him, "Young Master Gu, the two brothers Xu Biao and Xu Hu are waiting outside the inn. In addition, I have assigned a hundred elite soldiers to support them. I have already told them that you can ask them for assistance at any time if you need anything."
"Okay, I understand. If you need help, I'll be happy to help you."
After casually responding, Gu Nian'an opened the door, nodded slightly to the two brothers of the Xu family at the door, and instantly turned into a flash of lightning and disappeared in front of everyone.
