Butterfly [The Great Austrian Woman Version]

Chapter 162 At least there is dignity

"What?!" Hearing Teng Bo's return, the Tianying Institute got up as soon as the quilt was lifted, disregarding their usual demeanor.

Teng Bo lowered his head and said, "The news just came."

Tianyingyuan was dressed in single clothes, walking back and forth barefoot, muttering in his mouth, "Why don't you die sooner or later, why is it now! Who, who killed her!" As he walked, he stopped, thinking of the day Tempo's reply, about Jizong and Bamboo's quarrel.Teng Bo naturally thought of it too, but he didn't dare to touch this bad luck.

"Can it really be her? Is she stupid, for a man, for a word, idiot! Trash!" Tianyingyuan felt angry. He hoped that Ji Zong's simplicity would be more manageable, but he didn't want her to be so stupid as to delay him. leg.No matter how Tianyingyuan moves around, I feel puzzled. At this time, there are rumors about Ji Zong and Zhu, and Arisugawa Palace dies. What will everyone think?How passive he will be then!These guys who have done more than succeed but failed!Tianyingyuan walked to the knife stand, picked up a Taidao, pulled it out with a bang, and chopped off the clothes hanger next to it with a wave.With a neat cut, the clothes hanger fell down, and Teng Bo shrunk himself down to minimize his sense of existence.

Tianyingyuan was born in the royal family, and the most important thing is manners. He rarely uses knives.The few on the knife rack were just decorations, and the knives were good knives, but, after he finished venting his anger, his tiger's mouth hurt from shaking.With a bang, he threw the knife on the tatami.

"Go, let the other side try to suppress the news as much as possible, and only say that he died of illness!" Tian Yingyuan straightened his belt and lay back on the bed.

Teng Bo looked at the blade glowing with cold light, and exhaled lightly.

"But, master, the royal family..." Why is he, the royal family still doesn't know how to guess the master, and if he talks about this now, what will the other side think?

Tianyingyuan smoothed the mattress, looked at Tengbo, and said contemptuously, "I told them to get rid of this waste earlier, and it can be used for some purposes. Now that I die, I will only cause trouble for others. If I knew this, I just came out of Yusanjia Just die, and you can get more benefits. You just spread the news, a dead person, a person in power, how to balance, don't teach them."

Teng Bo thinks about it too, not to mention that the royal family has been oppressed by the shogunate all these years, and they can't say anything. This bad breath can only be swallowed.

Tianyingyuan lay down flat and covered the quilt, as if thinking of something, "Go and look at the bamboo, and don't take a step out of the room." After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes, as if he really fell asleep. Even breathing calmed down.

Teng Bo was deeply impressed by his master's skill in nourishing Qi. He looked at it lightly, then tiptoed up, put the knife into the scabbard, put it back on the knife holder, and retreated respectfully.In the darkness, the corners of Tianyingyuan's mouth twitched slightly, hmph, tonight, he might not be the only one who can't sleep.

"What you said is true?" Zhu stood up fiercely and opened his eyes wide.He slept late, and just went to the sword room to practice the knife, and heard the amazing news from Dumb as soon as he came back.Thinking about what he said to Ji Zong during the day, his whole body turned cold.His hands were trembling uncontrollably, and he was about to walk out, but Duan, contrary to his usual obedience, blocked Zhu's way.

"Master, it's getting late, please rest!"

"Get out!" Zhu kicked Ah-Dai on the shoulder, kicked him over, and was about to go out again, but Ah-Dai didn't care about the pain, so he rushed forward and hugged Zhu's leg, holding him tightly.

"It's not up to you to control what I'm going to do, get out of here!" Zhu said with a ferocious face, clenching his fists tightly.Ji Zong is crazy, she dares to do such a thing!That's the prince, she's worthless in life, but in death, she has to squeeze out ten cents of her worth!Baoji Zong dare not say whether the Tianying Institute will be, but she should not think about the position of the general. Doesn't she know what kind of existence the royal family is in the eyes of the people?Tian Yingyuan may also hate Arisugawa Palace, and wish her to die, but her death was not at the right time.Think about it, if their quarrel in the morning reaches the ears of Tianyingyuan, what will Tianyingyuan think?

"Let go!" Zhu Di ordered, and Ah-Dai hugged tightly without saying anything.

"Let go, I won't go out, it's getting late, I'm going to bed, you go and call Amo to take care of you."

Dumb looked at the bamboo surface as dead ashes, knowing that he also wanted to understand the connection.This news had just spread to Da'ao, if Zhu reacted so quickly, it is very likely that his hidden clues would be discovered soon.Moreover, it was late at night, and there was a curfew in the city, let alone Da'ao.If Zhu really went out, he might not be able to save his life, maybe the Tianying Academy just sent him off with this excuse.Even if he wasn't punished, he still held onto the handle. Who was in trouble in the end?Still Bamboo and Jizong.

Zhu took a deep breath, he was dizzy just now.Dumb saw that he had loosened his grip, so he dared to leave.

As soon as Ah Dui closed the door, Zhu slapped himself hard with his backhand.He was crazy to talk to Ji Zong and make this request.If it was really done by Ji Zong, he would drag her down to death.In fact, he didn't know why he was angry at that time, and why he made such an embarrassing request.He was in a daze at the time, the position of the imperial platform was never what he wanted, and the Tianying Institute never really saw through him, what he wanted was to walk out of the Ouyang dignifiedly, and have a piece of free sky.The position of the Imperial Palace was different from what he wanted.But, why, when Ji Zong said this, he lost control of his whole body.The latter words came out bald without even thinking about it.When Ji Zong heard this, what would he think of him?What is it like?What if she did it?Zhu felt that there was a hand grabbing and tightening his internal organs, and it was painful.

In Ji Yi Palace, Ji Zong didn't get the news too late, she was visiting her daughter A Chou at A Fang's place.The small hand was clenched into a fist, and it was pressed against the edge of the mouth, and the saliva flowed out from the slightly opened mouth. I didn't know what I dreamed of, and I was still spitting in the dream.

When San Langzuo came to deliver the news, his face turned green.After he finished the news, he looked at Ji Zong with hatred.

"Well, that guy is so happy, but have you ever thought about it, what should you do?"

When Ji Zong heard this, his heart tightened. Isn't this too coincidental?Ah Yuan looked at San Langzuo, and burst out laughing.Ji Zong subconsciously went to look at Ah Chou, and glanced at her complainingly.

"It's okay, she can eat and sleep, she can't wake up when she falls asleep." A Yuan didn't mind getting up, and sat up on her knees.Ji Zong looked at her suspiciously, is this his real mother?

A Yuan looked at San Langzuo, smiling so much that his face was blooming, "San Lang Zuo, let me ask you, if the master doesn't pass you through, who should pass through to issue this assassination order?"

San Langzuo was taken aback, then blushed, scratched his head in embarrassment, and touched his nose, anyway, he didn't know where to put his hands, and finally, he tightly clutched his trousers, his hands sweating.He was confused, how could Ji Zong handle this matter without knowing it.Ji Zong didn't know what he was concerned about, so he looked at him suspiciously. Could it be that San Langzuo has been stupid recently, why has his IQ plummeted?What she was worried about just now was something else, okay?

"What do you think, Master? Who do you think did this?" Ah Yuan turned to the pensive Ji Zong and asked.

Ji Zong shook his head, "Who did it, I can't think of it for a while, but it is estimated that [-]% of people think I did it." I also know that even San Langzuo thinks she did it, let alone an outsider.She glanced at Sanronzuo, her long and narrow eyes glanced coldly, and Sanronzuo lowered his head even lower.

"Then how does the master plan to deal with it?" Ah Yuan asked with interest, without any sense of crisis at all.In fact, no one in this room really has a sense of crisis.San Langzuo felt that as long as Ji Zong didn't do it for Zhuna's arrogant boy, everything would be fine. As for who did it, he didn't worry about it; Ji Zong was thinking about other issues. The secret place; A Yuan, also has a look in her eyes; as for A Chou, she is sleeping, everyone knows it.

Ji Zong rubbed his index finger lightly with his thumb, and said, "I was just wondering if I should take this opportunity to get rid of Shimazu Jifeng by the way."

With a puff, Ah Yuan laughed exaggeratedly this time, Ah Chou's small body twisted, as if he was about to wake up, and he frowned.Ah Yuan patted and coaxed her a few times before she relaxed her brows, turned her head to the side, and continued blowing bubbles.

"Who did it, what was the motive, and what benefits can I get? I'm interested, but I can't figure it out for a while. Tianyingin has a motive, Mabe Kanbo has a motive, Owari has it, Mito has it, and even those The great names I can’t name, it is very possible that the royal family itself is also beneficial. However, since I can’t figure it out clearly, I might as well think about what I can get from it.”

Ah Yuan nodded vigorously, her master has become "bad", but she is relieved!There is a kind of pride that my family has a girl who has grown up!

"What is the master's decision?" A Yuan stared at Ji Zong with anticipation.

"Thirty-six strategies, walking is the best strategy." Ji Zong still expressed his thoughts. Now that the water in Edo is deep, whether she did it or not, whether she left or stayed, how should others guess or what? Guess.But, here, whose thoughts have the most influence on her, or what kind of impression does she want to give to others?She didn't want everyone to treat her as an imaginary enemy right now.I also know that if she makes a high-profile performance and wants to be a general, she will be a moving target who can walk, and anyone who shoots openly and secretly will come to her.If she stays, it is enough for her to deal with a suspicious and tough Tianying Academy. If she is not good at it, then it is better to go ahead and leave some mystery for everyone to guess.

Moreover, her not flattering the Tianying Institute is also a gesture in itself.

It's not that she doesn't want to fight, it's just that the time is not ripe now.Many things did not come to the fore, Jiaji was still alive, Tianying Institute had an ambiguous attitude, and all forces were waiting and watching. The most important thing was that Ji Yi's development had just started, and she didn't have enough soldiers, horses and food.Moreover, she has an extravagant wish, perhaps it can be said that she is naive, she does not want to go to great lengths to get the position of general.The one who pays the least price and dies the fewest is what she wants.Otherwise, it would make the people miserable, just for her own safety, and she didn't feel that her life was so expensive.It doesn't matter if you don't fight for the position of general like that, it's nothing more than costing her life.

"Then since you've made your decision, why are you still hesitating?" A Yuan asked sharply. Ji Zong glanced at her, and then at San Langzuo, who was blaming himself with his head down.

Ji Zong coughed unnaturally, and asked, "Chou is so small, can he walk back and forth? I don't worry about leaving you guys behind. Edo is not stable now." Assassination, in Ji Zong's view, has always been the darkest situation. Such political means, this kind of atmosphere that makes people live in terror, is not good, very bad.

Ah Yuan rolled her eyes and nodded, "How about the child, how to live, this kind of wind and rain can't bear it, even if it grows up safely, so what?" I have to say that the island people's understanding of natural selection and Persistence has always been admirable.

Ji Zong's worries were half gone, she turned to San Langzuo and said, "You go and prepare, I will ask the general to resign tomorrow and see if they let him go."

San Langzuo didn't know what he should prepare, but now he wished that there was a crack in the ground to get in. As soon as Ji Zong handed over the ladder, he left immediately.When San Langzuo walked away, Ji Zong breathed a sigh of relief, and turned around to find that A Yuan was looking at her with bright eyes, and suddenly felt embarrassed to be seen through.

"Hey, you, what are you looking at?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, tsk tsk, I really didn't expect it, I didn't expect it." Ah Yuan tsk tsk, with a gossipy face. "Tell me, everyone is gone, so I should be able to talk, right?"

Ji Zong rubbed his nose. In front of Ah Yuan, she was somewhat at a loss, so she had to force herself to say, "What do you know? I don't have anything to say."

Ah Yuan really can't feel any pain towards Ji Zong. This person is really kind in terms of the relationship between men and women.

"Just tell me if you're worried." Now that they have decided to leave, Ji Zong actually wants to understand this matter. How public opinion will go is not the focus of their concern at this time.However, she still thought about it for a long time in such a difficult way, it must be because she was worried about Zhu.Looking at her guilty look, it must be because she was afraid of not explaining to San Langzuo.She is really anxious, master, do you really understand what you want?You are no longer conniving with San Langzuo, do you know it?

Based on Ah Yuan's understanding of Ji Zong, she now has feelings of guilt, worry, and affection for Zhu, but for San Langzuo, she cares so much that she cares so much that she is afraid that he will care, that he will miss him, that he will run away from home, but , It's all here, master, she hasn't realized her feelings yet!Yuan is really in a hurry!There are only a few men, and you are like this. In the future, there will be three thousand Obi and beautiful men, and there will be no bones left for you to eat!

"Hey, Zhu didn't benefit from this matter. In fact, he became the biggest victim. He made this request at the beginning, but it was only a moment of anger. He knew better than anyone else that Arisukawa Palace couldn't die. Anyway, it couldn't be me. The two of them died when the rumors were raging; Shimadzu Jifeng couldn't die even more. If Arisugawa Palace is the face of Tianyingyuan, then Shimadzu Jifeng is the face of Tianyingyuan. And Bamboo is now in Da Aoli only relied on the protection of the Tianying Institute. He is such a smart and transparent person, but he was only angry for a while. Now, I don’t know what he is like inside." Ji Zong sighed, she would not Do it for Bamboo, at least not now.Even if Arisugawa Miya and Shimadzu Tsutsuyo are dead, Take will not be able to get what he wants, nor will he be able to be at peace.

I don't know why, but she always has a sense of responsibility for bamboo, maybe it's because she can't let it go, maybe it's because of the revolutionary friendship.If she is capable, she will help him; if she is not capable, she will not force him.At least, for now, helping him does not conflict with his own interests.When will she be the one who puts these things on the scale?

"Take it if you like it. Now, no matter who it is, I don't want to tear myself apart with you." Ah Yuan thinks this is not a problem.

Ji Zong looked at A Yuan, who had a natural expression, and felt warm in his heart.Once, Garner Zhengzheng also told her that, let her take it away for a long time, so what about self-willedness.This kind of protection, this kind of connivance, made her heart soften.Ji Zong smiled and nodded.

On the second day, before the news of Arisugawa Palace's sudden death spread, Ji Zong entered the Grand Ou again.Speaking of her frequently going in and out of Da'ao, it seems inappropriate, but who can say what?

Hearing her intention of leaving, Tianying Academy felt relieved.Regardless of whether she did it or not, her choice to leave now at least shows that she is not so impatient for the position of general.Regardless of whether she is self-aware or just trying to please Zhu, in short, as far as he is concerned, Ji Zong left, leaving room for him to manipulate. If she stays in Edo, once this matter happens, she will either justify or not , at least, Tianying Institute is passive.Help her, it doesn't make sense on the face, the meaning is too obvious; if you don't help her, do you choose another person?It is estimated that Owari and Mabe Anfang have already connected, and the agreement may be reached.Of course, if he had the heart, Owari would not be unable to win, but the price would be too high.

"Forget it, you've been in Edo for almost three months, and even if your rotation is full, if you want to leave, no one can say anything." The Tianying Academy acquiesced in Yoshimune's departure. It is much more low-key, and never positively differentiates itself from Tianying Academy.She is a smart person, she suffered a loss from the Tianying Institute, and had to readjust her strategy.Fighting for a moment is never what smart people do.What's more, as A Yuan said, even if everyone doesn't win over Ji Zong now, they don't want to offend him.

Ji Zong nodded, "Thank you sir for your understanding, but before I leave, I want to go and see the bamboo. I wonder if you can accommodate me?"

Tianyingyuan's brows twitched suddenly, then relaxed, and smiled, "Although it's against the rules, it's not intolerant. Who hasn't been young?"

"Teng Bo, you go and arrange it." The Tianying Institute gave Teng Bo a wink. Teng Bo knew the trick. This is not only for him to arrange, but also for the person who has withdrawn from the surveillance. Now, Zhu is under house arrest. , can't take a step out of the house.

Ji Zong was led by Teng Bo to Zhu's residence, and the latter smiled ambiguously and retreated.Ji Zong frowned and stepped into Zhu's room.Zhu's room, just like his people, he will not treat himself badly.The decoration is comfortable and unassuming, and there are a lot of good things. He lives in Da'ao, and his life is considered poor.

Seeing her coming, Zhu clenched his fists and didn't know what to say.Asking if she did it was a bit hypocritical; he couldn't tell if he cared about her; he had no position to reprimand her.He was even more afraid, so he asked, and Ji Zong said yes, then when she figured out the pros and cons, would she blame him?Zhu felt that he had lived for more than 20 years, and he never thought that he would be so entangled and aggrieved at this moment.

"I didn't kill people, so don't feel sorry. Even if I did it, it's still my decision." Ji Zong said first.

Hearing what she said, Zhu loosened his fist and felt relieved, but it felt a little uncomfortable.Is she telling herself that she won't act impulsively for him?Still, even if he did, it was out of interest, not for him, so he didn't have to be sentimental.

"It's fine if you don't, but, whether you are right or not, the world will probably judge you." Zhu said a little angrily, and after saying this, he felt a little regretful.He obviously wanted to care about her, but why did he speak so aggressively?Last night, he worried all night and knew that he was under house arrest. He didn't realize until it was dawn that he didn't think about his situation and position at all just now because he was worried about Ji Zong.At that time, I was really ashamed and annoyed. Could it be that he was ill?When, he is a person who will put others before himself!

After hearing Zhu's words, Ji Zong was not angry. She felt very complicated about Zhu.Saying that she doesn't mind at all, it's impossible to let go of feelings, but if she still likes him, since Zhu explicitly rejected her last time, her mind has been broken.However, in my heart, I still hope that Zhu will be fine, whether he likes him or not.Just like, you used to like something so much, but it doesn’t mean that you don’t like it because it doesn’t belong to you or doesn’t like you. You still have an attitude of appreciation and hope that it will still be good.If the bamboo is not good, she will not feel happy, she has not been twisted to that extent.It's just that it's unlikely to be like before.At least, now she can't do such a thing as picking flowers for him for Lian Ye, and her mood is already different.

"I'm here today because I'm afraid you'll be worried, so I'm here to tell you. I'm going to meet Ji Yi, and the Tianying Institute has approved it."

After hearing her words, Zhu was stunned for a moment, turned his head to one side, and didn't look at her, "Oh, is that right? Ji Zong is not fatal.Even if there are rumors among the people, they are just pornographic news, and they cannot discredit her.

"It's just that this matter will probably hurt you a lot." Ji Zong expressed his worry. Zhu had already lost a fiancée, and now that he died another one, he had an affair with himself again. In the harsh era, his situation was very embarrassing.Just like in the previous life, when a man cheated, it was just a piece of pornographic news, and the person who heard it laughed and couldn't say it back.Just like, everyone will say that being angry at the crown and becoming a concubine, and playing tricks on the princes, most of the crimes are on women.But, who would have thought that not all men make decisions?

Zhu shook his head, and wanted to say, it’s fine if you can get out of the body, don’t worry about me, but, no matter what, I feel hypocritical, my throat feels like a ball of cotton is blocked, and I can’t say anything.He worried about Ji Zong all night. Now that she has found a way out and a solution, shouldn't he be happy for her from the bottom of his heart?Sure enough, he was still selfish, with the sadness of being abandoned.No matter how you look at this game of chess, he is an outcast.He also wanted to be graceful, at least to give her an arrogant smile and tell her that he would be fine without her.In her heart, shouldn't she be so strong?However, he was really tired and couldn't even lift his eyelids.

"Zhu, do you want to come back to Ji Yi with me?"

Zhu looked up at Ji Zong in surprise, and even suspected that she had heard wrongly. If she really took him away now, it would be [-]% sure that she killed Arisugawa Palace. At least, the royal family would hate her.What good would it do her to go with her?But a pair of skins, no matter how much you like, how long will you have a good time?When her freshness toward her passes, or when he loses color, will she regret today's decision?

But why is his heart beating so fast?Almost popping out of my chest.Suddenly, he caught sight of Ji Zong's eyes, and he took a breath. Her eyes were bright and clean, filled with sincerity, worry, hope and warmth, but when he closed his eyes, he felt pain all over his body.However, there are only these in her eyes, and even, there is a light of reason, at least, it shows that her current decision is not impulsive, right?However, in her eyes, there is no longer the obsession that she used to look at him.

"No need, I also have my pride. I rejected you before, but now, how could I have the audacity to ask you to help me." Zhu said these words coldly, showing a bit of sincerity.Ji Zong had no right either. After waiting for a long time, seeing that he hadn't changed his mind, he got up and left. When he walked to the door, he still said, "You can take care of yourself. If there is something embarrassing, let the one next to you go out and deliver a letter."

Zhu closed his eyes, no matter whether she saw it or not, he nodded.Ji Zong let out an inaudible sigh and left the room.Zhu's nose fluttered slightly, feeling sore, as if something was getting further and further away from him.He opened his eyes suddenly, and ran after him with all his might.People who bumped into him on the road looked at him in horror. In Daoli, no one has ever lost his composure, let alone Mr. Zhu, who has always regarded himself very highly.

Zhu was familiar with Da Ao, and after a while, he caught up with Ji Zong. He saw Ji Zong's back, and was about to call her, but stopped in his tracks.Staring at Ji Zong blankly, he went out of the small door and disappeared.Zhu took a quick breath, panting with his mouth open, and it took a long time before he calmed down.He looked at the empty wall, here is where Ji Zong presented flowers.Once, she stood there, shining brightly like a ray of sunshine, shooting into his heart, tearing apart the black curtains that tightly wrapped him, illuminating him and warming him.However, that person will never come back.

He clenched his fists tightly, then released them, smoothed his clothes as if nothing had happened, raised his head, and walked back.Those who saw him along the road looked at him while saluting, whispered, and walked proudly, as if they hadn't heard anything.And his world, a gap that was once opened, is tightly closed again. He disguises himself with pride, so that nothing can hurt him.

At least, he still has his dignity.
