The sun is shining.

The tall and burly man stood in front of the slender Wei Rou, and the light fell on his fierce ghostly face, which made people ignore the evil spirit.

Gu Xi's eyes fell on Wei Rou's glaring wound.

"If I can pacify northern Xinjiang, the emperor must agree to one condition."

Wei Rou was taken aback.

"What conditions?"

Gu Xi raised his eyes, his dark eyes looked at Wei Rou's face with deep eyes, and there was an indescribable emotion in his eyes.

"Betroth you to me."

Wei Rou was completely stunned.

What Wan Ping said to her before suddenly rang in her ears.

It is said that Gu Xi has pre-conditions on the holy, but no one knows the specific conditions, only that Gu Xi has issued a military order.

Unexpectedly...he actually...

Then Wei Rou thought that the emperor was so eager to make her the princess and wanted to use her as a bargaining chip in the marriage. She didn't understand why at first, but now she suddenly understood after hearing Gu Xi say that.

As the great general of Zhenyuan, Gu Xi holds great power in his hands. If he marries with Duke Wei's mansion again, it will cause endless troubles for the emperor.

The emperor would never allow this to happen.

That's when Gu Xi was still fighting in northern Xinjiang, he married Wei Guogong's daughter early.

For the emperor, it doesn't matter if the daughter is her, Wei Rou, or Lin Ruyi, as long as she doesn't marry Gu Xi, anyone will do.

But what the emperor didn't expect was that Gu Xi didn't ask to marry the daughter of the Wei family for the power of the Wei family, but...

Thinking of this, Wei Rou's cheeks couldn't help but feel hot.

She lowered her eyes, feeling numb, and didn't know how to face Gu Xi for a while.

When it really came time to be honest with each other, Wei Rou became timid again.

She bit her lip.

The atmosphere fell into a stalemate for a while.

"General Gu."

"Miss Wei."

The two spoke at the same time, and then both froze again.

Gu Xi looked at Wei Rou with a little more fiery gaze.

"Miss Wei, please tell me."

Wei Rou was about to speak, but hurried footsteps were heard not far away.

Gu Xi's eyes lit up.

"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, go to the general's mansion."

Wei Rou held Gu Xi's hand instead, shaking her head at him.

"General Gu, come with me."

Gu Xi froze.

Wei Rou also realized that her actions were too abrupt, so she let go of her hand like an electric shock, and put the cloak back on to cover her slightly hot cheeks.

She turned around, avoided those chasing people, and walked quickly into the depths of the alley.

Gu Xi walked behind her, paying attention to the movement behind her, and when his eyes turned to her slim figure, his eyes couldn't help but deepen a bit.

Wei Rou led Gu Xi out of the alley, turned a few streets, and came to a secluded courtyard.

Wei Rou walked to the gate, looked around, and saw no suspicious person, then raised her hand, put it on the knocker, pulled the knocker and knocked three times.

Wei Rou stood there and waited for a while, but no one came to answer the door. She was a little embarrassed, and turned around to explain something to Gu Xi.

As soon as he turned his head, Gu Xi's tall figure was close at hand.

Through the veil, Wei Rou's heart beat rapidly, and her breathing also became rapid.

She took a step back, but bumped against the door, causing her to let out a low cry of pain.

In the next moment, a broad hand supported her shoulder.

Gu Xi's lips were tightly pursed into a line.

His voice was deep.

"fear me?"

Wei Rou shook her head, the plain cloak swayed with her movements, a corner was lifted by a breeze, revealing her reddish cheeks.

Gu Xi's heart skipped a beat.
