Chapter 72: I Absolutely Will Not Compromise

  "I will never compromise!"

  The power of this sentence is far greater than the one tomorrow "people are low and words are small", and the one that Aizong said "are all big masters teaching well" is much bigger.

  When Zhu Rong walked in front of Guo Jia, wiping away the tears on his face and saying this sentence, Guo Jia was instantly stunned.

  The direction of things is also too unpredictable, right? Clearly running away with tears and still having some petty bourgeoisie sentiment, but how did it suddenly turn into an S queen?!

  Guo Jia took a step back on the ground and couldn't help but want to run away.

  "In our place, good things are always kept for ourselves. If others want to take away our good things, that's absolutely non-negotiable!" Zhu Rong said to Guo Jia word by word.

  Gulu.

  Guo Jia swallowed his saliva.

  "Girl, calm down, things haven't developed to that point yet... Hey! What are you doing? Let me go! Help! I've been kidnapped!!!"

  Zhu Rong didn't say a word and quickly carried Guo Jia out of the city.

  Never thought that in this era, it's probably the first time, not only is there a thing called "grabbing relatives", but the one being grabbed is actually the groom instead of the bride?!

  ······

  Tsai Residence

  "How's it going? Found anyone?"

  "No, I've looked everywhere nearby, but still can't find it."

  "Didn't anyone see?"

  "Now the whole city is in chaos, everyone is hiding at home and locking their doors tightly. Can't even find someone to ask questions. I think we should close the main gate first and leave only a small door open, just in case something happens later and it's too late..."

  After hearing those words, Cai Yan suddenly went soft and fell to the ground.

  "Miss, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Ming'er asked worriedly beside her.

  "It must be me..." Cai Yan muttered to herself.

  "What's wrong with you?" Ming Er asked in confusion, for a moment unable to react.

  Cai Yan turned around and grabbed Ming Er, crying out loudly

  "It's all because of me! I'm an unlucky woman, a jinx who brings misfortune to her husbands. Everyone who marries me ends up meeting with disaster!"

  "No! No!" Ming Er hastily shook her head and said, "Miss, don't think wildly, Young Master will be fine. He'll definitely come back right away, for sure!"

  "That's right, don't underestimate Feng Xiao either." Guo Tu said as he walked over, "He's such a clever person, I think he must have received news from the city people and temporarily found a place to hide. You know that at this time, rushing back recklessly would be even more dangerous. We should trust him, nothing will happen to him for sure."

  Kuo Tu finished speaking and walked aside to make arrangements.

  "Don't panic, everyone. First, close the main gate. Bring a ladder over and lean it against the wall. Have someone go up and keep watch. Whether it's Feng Xiao coming back or any other movement, we'll be able to get news immediately."

  Kwok Tau's arrangement was very reasonable, and others immediately went to do it.

  On this side, Cai Yan and Ming Er were hugging each other.

  "I'm so scared tomorrow, I'm really terrified!"

  In this feudal society, once or perhaps it was a coincidence, but the continuous occurrence of such things could not help but make Cai Yan wonder. Was she really cursed with the fate of being a widow? Was she really destined to spend her whole life unable to marry and attain happiness?!

  "Don't worry, young master is so clever, nothing will happen." Ming Er murmured, the two girls hugging each other tightly, comforting each other.

  ······

  Luoyang City, North Gate, inside the city, nearby

  Zhurong finally put Guo Jia down, of course, not because she was tired and wanted to rest, but because she was thinking about how to take Guo Jia out of the city.

  Directly charging in alone would definitely result in being blocked by the guards. If she forced her way in at that time, it would be fine if only she herself got hurt, but Guo Jia could easily get mistakenly injured as well.

  But if she didn't force Guo Jia to leave with her, then Guo Jia wouldn't possibly cooperate and follow her voluntarily.

  So Zhu Rong is now facing such a dilemma.

  Guo Jia slowly let out a breath, being carried on someone's back while running was absolutely not comfortable, only then did he open his mouth to speak.

  "I'm telling you, girl, haven't you noticed that something is off about the atmosphere in this city?!"

  Zhurong was looking for an opportunity to leave the city while responding.

  "I don't care about anything else."

  "Miss, something big is going to happen in the city now. Can we find a place to hide first?" Guo Jia asked involuntarily, but unfortunately, Zhu Rong did not respond at all. No way, Guo Jia knew that he could only solve it from the root of the matter.

  "You don't really like me, miss."

  As expected, Guo Jia had just opened his mouth when Zhu Rong reacted. Seeing this, Guo Jia took the opportunity to continue speaking.

  "Think about it carefully, how is it possible to send flowers every day and then like someone? If you really liked me, wouldn't you be jealous knowing that I'm taking the flowers to give to other girls? So, this isn't really liking."

  "What is that?" Zhu Rong asked directly.

  "I just heard you say that too, it's completely because of putting in too much and not getting the corresponding return, so it will produce a kind of grievance similar to liking." Guo Jia made a scientific and reasonable explanation.

  "But I never thought about what I would get in return." Zhu Rong said, unable to hold back.

  "I didn't say it's a material return, but an emotional one. You're so good to me, so you naturally think I should be just as good to you. That's not wrong, but you've got the wrong idea - emotions can also be divided into friendship and love. The emotions between us are friendly, so even if I get married, it won't affect my feelings for you." Guo Jia analyzed.

  "I don't know what love and friendship are, I just don't want to see you marry someone else!" Zhu Rong replied directly, she had always been the type to say whatever was on her mind, without any shame.

  "Alright, even if we take a step back and say that's indeed love, but in your place, do men only marry one wife?!" Guo Jia suddenly asked. He didn't believe that in such chaotic times, with so many young and strong men dying, there was still a place where monogamy existed. The social conditions simply wouldn't allow it!

  As long as the other party also recognizes this feudal society's polygamy, Guo Jia can find a breakthrough here. At least, he needs to appease this wild girl and not let her really take herself to the mountain to be the monkey king.

  Unfortunately, Guo Jia apparently miscalculated again, and saw Zhu Rong turn his head and stare at Guo Jia saying,

  "In our place, the braver a man is, the more wives he has. With your build, it's already good that you can marry a wife. If you run to the mountain, you'll be eaten by wild beasts, how will you support your family?"

  Kuo Chia's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself that the civilized world and the barbarian world indeed had huge cultural differences. However, since the other party had already spoken these words, Kuo Chia immediately seized another point and asked in return:

  "If that's the case, then you should like strong and brave men. Only the strongest man is worthy of a girl like you, how could you possibly look at someone weak like me?"

  "I used to think so too, but...". Before Rong's words had fallen, a sudden commotion broke out in the distance.
