This dinner lasted until eleven o'clock in the evening.

Gu Qingzhou and Ye Shan left at eight o'clock, because Ye Wu was back at that time.

"...I almost burned your hair." Gu Qingzhou stroked Ye Wu's curly hair and said.

Ye Wu and Ye Shan were stunned together.

"Don't, how beautiful your hair is!" Ye Shan said.

Everyone felt sorry for her when they heard she was going to cut her hair, including the barber who came to the door that day.

Gu Qingzhou smiled.

They chatted for a long time, and Gu Qingzhou did not leave until the adjutant came in and said the banquet was over.

After they returned home, Governor Ye went to Peiping overnight and took a lot of money with him.

Gu Qingzhou asked Si Xingpei: "How did you say it?"

"I've already made up my mind. The next step is to rely on his own means. You can rest assured. With Ye Xiaoyuan's ability, our family's Overseer will lose three points to him." Si Xingpei said, "I asked him to invite Xing. Chief help, do you remember Chief Xing?"

Gu Qingzhou nodded: Xing Sen's father, the Minister of Finance of the Beiping Cabinet, has always supported warlords of various factions to form cabinets and serve as president.

President Xing stood in the midst of chaos and did not fall.

After Xing Sen got married, President Xing was considered a relative of the Yan family.

Si Xingpei sent a telegram to Yan Xinnong, and gave Ye Dujun an idea. It is estimated that the Japanese will not take advantage of it.

What Ye Dujun wanted was nothing more than peace. If he had any selfish intentions, Gu Qingzhou felt that it would be more beneficial to fight for power and gain.

It can be seen that Dujun Ye regarded stability and the people as crucial.

He has a lot of means, and he can stand alone by relying on Shanxi's financial and military resources without forming gangs.

However, no matter how great the feelings are, they are not worth the political strife. In less than a year, Gu Qingzhou has heard for the third time that the cabinet is eager to deal with Shanxi.

Difficulties emerged one after another, and Gu Qingzhou almost couldn't see the day when it stopped, so he sighed: "Si Xingpei, the world is suffering."

She remembered how peaceful her days were in the country. Because she is a small person and has nothing to do with anyone's interests, no one bothers her.

Later, she went to town.

She is just a little Gu Qingzhou, but she gets in the way of Qin Zhengzheng's mother and daughter, and it has never been peaceful since then.

As a warlord, Ye Dujun has jurisdiction over millions of people. How many people has he hindered?

How could his days be peaceful?

And Si Xingpei is the same. Even if Gu Qingzhou left Taiyuan Mansion and returned to Pingcheng, it was Mrs. Si, still unable to live in peace.

"It's not bitter, Qingzhou." Si Xingpei hugged her tightly, put his lips to her ear, and whispered in her ear, "When we are unified, we will go to Suzhou to buy a small house and live in seclusion from now on. life."

His breath was scented with wine, hot and slightly drunk, making Gu Qingzhou intoxicated.

Gu Qingzhou let him hold it, but he was thinking: Suzhou can't do it, they are in Suzhou, others will not be relieved.

Might go further afield.

They can only truly live in seclusion until they are far enough away that no one else can see or hear from them.

"Didn't you say last time that there is an island? It's not far from Singapore." Gu Qingzhou looked back at him, "We can be savages."

Si Xingpei laughed.

He kissed Gu Qingzhou's earlobe, his voice was warm and intoxicating like wine: "Okay, it's better to be a savage."

While talking, Si Xingpei hugged Gu Qingzhou tighter.

When Gu Qingzhou returned home, he vaguely heard voices in the guest room, as if he was speaking silently.

She said to Si Xingpei, "Go take a shower first, and I'll go to Qin Jiuniang to say a few words."

Qin Jiuniang's edema has been cured by medicine, and she is 70% to 80% better, revealing her original face.

When Gu Qingzhou looked at her, she only felt that her eyebrows were clear and elegant, and she must have been a beauty when she was young. Looking at it now, it is also quite graceful.

She is not swaying and affectionate, but she is full of heroic spirit. Even those two slender eyebrows raised slightly.

She and Wuyan haven't slept yet, they seem to be discussing something. Because there were too many silent words, Qin Jiuniang couldn't say a word for a long time, and she didn't finish talking for a long time.

"It's almost twelve o'clock, are you still not sleeping?" Gu Qingzhou stood at the door with a smile. The night wind was slightly cool and the room was warm. With the cold and the heat, her cheeks flushed red.

Gu Qingzhou's cheeks were flushed, a little playful.

"Not yet." Qin Jiuniang said.

The two of them went next door.

After closing the door and sitting down, Gu Qingzhou asked Qin Jiuniang, "Are you guys discussing going back?"

Qin Jiuniang nodded: "My illness is almost cured."

"I want to ask you for help and kill someone." Gu Qingzhou said, "but I don't know when I will do it, so I have to make you live longer. Maybe three or five days, maybe half a year."

Qin Jiuniang pondered: "Is this your official request?"

"Yes."

"Well, I'll inform Mr. Wu. Since you are a formal request, we can't refuse, I'll take it." Qin Jiuniang said, "You can stay as long as you want."

Gu Qingzhou smiled slightly.

After smiling, she suddenly thought of something and asked Qin Jiuniang, "Can you fail to kill people? Besides, are there any rules?"

"Once you make a move, you can't leave the cottage for the rest of your life. Things are impermanent, and if someone sees their deeds, it will implicate the whole family. If you make a move, it means life-for-life." Qin Jiuniang said.

Gu Qingzhou's heart sank.

That is to say, one of her requests, Mr. Wu, is equivalent to giving her a life.

Their requirements are very demanding, even if they are completed flawlessly, they have to hide from the sun in this life.

They live in seclusion, but often go to the market.

Like Wu Yan, he seemed to like the outside world. Once Gu Qingzhou asks them this time, he and Qin Jiuniang will not be able to go down the mountain again for life.

Gu Qingzhou remembered one thing: when she was in the country, the neighbor's child would have diarrhea every time he ate eggs, so his parents wouldn't give him it.

He often cries, and is sneaky, and he has to eat whenever he gets the chance.

Gu Qingzhou asked him, "You didn't like eggs before, but now you can't eat them. Why do you have to be sneaky?"

The child told her: "I didn't like it originally, but if I don't give it to eat, I just want it."

Just like Wuyan and Qin Jiuniang, they can be unwilling to go down the mountain, but once they can't go down the mountain, the matter of "going down the mountain" becomes the hottest desire in their hearts.

It's all little things.

The most important thing is that if they miss the slightest, they will commit suicide, and they will never implicate their clansmen and those who ask them to do things.

With a heavy heart, Gu Qingzhou said, "Don't send a letter to Mr. Wu for the time being. I'll think about it again. I don't want you to take action unless it's a last resort."

Qin Jiuniang smiled and said, "Miss Gu, you have already requested and cannot take it back."

Gu Qingzhou was surprised.

Qin Jiuniang smiled and said, "We do our best to keep our lives as clean as possible."

Gu Qingzhou was silent for a long time.
