[Comprehensive martial arts] A scholar who is useless

"I have never done anything shameful in my life," Shu Ming said after deep consideration, "I am not ashamed of the world, nor my own conscience. It is really not in my expectation to become a personal prisoner of the imperial court."

"However, God's will tricks people. Although I never offended anyone, I have become the target of everyone shouting and beating, and even hurt my friends and relatives." Shu Ming said slowly: "Although I can just leave, But after leaving, I will inevitably have to hide around and live in embarrassment. What's more, if I leave, those imperial envoys who have never found the person they are looking for here will not be able to complete the task assigned by the emperor, and they will inevitably implicate everyone on this island. other people……"

"I have been rescued by you several times before, but my kindness has not been reciprocated. If I run away in a hurry for my own survival, I will not only feel sorry for my friends, but even I will feel speechless to live in the world," Shu Ming said deeply. : "Since the matter has come to this point, I may not be able to escape even if I escape to the ends of the earth. It is better to meet with the current sage. What to do depends on the other party's disposal, and the name of the calligrapher's ancestor can be preserved!"

Everyone was silent for a long time after hearing the words, Dongfang Bubai frowned and stared at Shuming and said deeply: "Why do you want to seek death every time? It is better to live than to die. Isn't it the most important thing to save your life?"

Shuming denied it righteously: "I'm just telling the truth, why do you want to die? I just didn't want to kill other people for my own survival, and it's the same now!"

Also shit!

Dongfang Bubai directly grabbed Shu Mingshen's collar, raised his hand to touch the opponent's acupoints, then threw him to Lu Xiaofeng who was beside him and said, "Take him to the boat, I'll set off immediately!"

Shu Mingshen couldn't move his body, but he still stared at the people beside him and shouted, "If I say I don't leave, I won't leave even if I die. Ninth Brother, Ninth Brother, help me!"

"..." Gong Jiu glanced at him with a complicated expression, frowned and said to Dongfang Bubai, "I see that there is still room for discussion on this matter. I will force Brother Shu like this..."

Dongfang Bubai turned to look at him, and said calmly: "Since you say that, are you willing to give up everything here and go with him?"

Gong Jiu was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, turned his head and took a deep look at Shu Ming, then fell silent: "..."

Seeing this, Dongfang Bubai sneered and said: "The last time he didn't listen to me, he almost died. This time, no matter what, I must take him away!"

Lu Xiaofeng didn't know what to do for a while, Dongfang Bubai was naturally talking about the last time Shu Ming was hit by the Poisonous Lord of the Western Regions and almost died, he was hesitating, so he listened to Shu Ming Deep in his ear, he continued to shout: "I have already said that I have never done anything to rebel. I am worthy of the world, and I never want to spend my life being hunted and killed all day long. If it is not resolved thoroughly, how can I face my former relatives and friends again? It is better to die to thank the world, at least I can clarify my injustice!"

"..." Gong Jiuwu lowered his eyes and pondered, Dongfang Bubai was so angry that he pinched Shu Mingshen's mouth, Hua Manlou smiled, stepped forward at this moment, and untied the acupuncture points on Shu Mingshen's body, He said to everyone: "Hua believes that everyone here is naturally thinking of Brother Shu..."

"However, even if we want the other party to survive, we can't force Brother Shu to do what he doesn't want to do," Hua Manlou said slowly: "Brother Shu is very clear to me, if Brother Shu is really determined to do so, I hope that you can also respect the wishes of the book brother, instead of imposing your own wishes on the other party..."

As Hua Manlou said, his face couldn't help turning to Gong Jiu's direction.

"..." Gong Jiu lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Dongfang Bubai folded his arms and said angrily: "But if the other person is dead, what's the use of being nice to him?"

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "I'm listening to what Brother Dongfang just said. The Holy One just said that he sent people to arrest Brother Shu, but he didn't say that he would execute him immediately, did he?"

Dongfang Bubai still frowned, and said: "What's the difference? Didn't he send those killers to kill this nerd before, but he didn't succeed."

Hua Manlou said: "Of course there is a difference. The previous assassinations of the Holy Majesty did not reveal his identity. Even if Brother Shu died at the hands of those people, it may not be possible to find out who the mastermind behind the other party is."

"But this time, the Holy Majesty has openly sent Jin Yiwei to arrest Brother Shu. Since His Majesty can find out that Brother Shu is hiding on this island, he must also know that King Zhennan is still alive at this moment," Hua Manlou said: "Not only that, maybe he even knows that the other party is planning to rebel again. In this way, Brother Shu's existence at this moment will become more important..."

"You mean..." Dongfang Bubai was thinking.

Lu Xiaofeng interjected: "Brother Hua means that even if it is to restrain Zhennan King's power, the Emperor will never execute Brother Shu easily."

What's more, Shu Mingshen is still burdened with those so-called prophecies, and is involved with some forces in the arena—for example, them, such as Shi Guanyin, and Ye Gucheng, etc., so that Shu Mingshen is alive. It's much more useful to just die like this.

"I'm not afraid of [-], just in case..." Dongfang Bubai hesitated.

Hua Manlou sighed and said, "That's something that can't be helped. After all, Brother Shu has made up his mind. Even if we can stop him for a while, how can we stop him forever?"

In fact, what he said just now was just for them to comfort themselves. After all, the holy will may not be something they can easily guess, and they can't predict how Shu Mingshen will be dealt with.

"..." Dongfang Bubai looked coldly at Shu Mingshen at the side, and Shu Mingshen nodded at the other side quickly, expressing that he had made up his mind, no matter what the emperor would do with him, he would definitely You have to meet the other party and explain everything to the other party face to face.

"Forget it, anyway, you never listen to my words." Dongfang Bubai flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly: "If you really die by then, at worst, I will go to the palace and kill that dog emperor for you." revenge!"

Because in his opinion, Shu Mingshen is just an unlucky ghost who doesn't cause disasters or troubles, but has suffered such a big trouble. If the old emperor wants to kill such an honest person as the other party, the other party will be the same in his opinion. He is no longer a prosperous monarch, but since he is a foolish monarch, why should he keep the other party? !

The others present could only smile wryly upon hearing this.

There are still a few days before the arrival of the Jinyiwei fleet, Shu Mingshen decided to have a good time with these friends in front of him in these few days to say goodbye.

Since Shu Mingshen decided to make this matter that day, Gong Jiu has rarely spoken, as if he was thinking about something, even if Shu Mingshen talked to him, he seemed a little stunned and unable to recover.

Shu Mingshen put down the brush in his hand, raised his hand in the chair sitting opposite, looked at Gong Jiu who was in a daze, and said, "Brother Jiu, are you okay, why do you look so out of your mind?"

Gong Jiu finally came back to his senses, and then looked at Shu Mingshen who was writing something with a brush in front of him, and the piece of paper on the table that obviously had written a lot of things on it, and said doubtfully :"what are you writing?"

Shuming heard the words deeply, and while thinking about how to write, he said without raising his head: "A suicide note!"

"..." Gong Jiu's body froze slightly, seeing the other party's natural look, finally couldn't help getting up and walking to the other party's side, and glanced at the so-called "suicide note".

"Have you really decided...?"

After a while, Gong Jiu turned his head to look at Shu Ming, who was beside him with a calm face, just thinking about what else needs to be written on the suicide note, and said deeply.

Shu Ming nodded to him when he heard the words, and said helplessly, "There is no other way."

Gong Jiu looked at him coldly and said, "It may not be impossible..."

Seeing that Shu Ming looked at him in confusion, Gong Jiu frowned slightly, and said: "In my opinion, as long as you can survive, that's the most important thing."

"Even if the person who wants to plot against you is the emperor, you shouldn't just catch him," Gong Jiu said to Shu Ming, who was staring blankly at him, "Although I don't want you to leave, but if you If you want to join that Zhennan Prince, it's not too late now!"

With his identity and position, although he can't protect Shu Mingshen at this moment, even so, he doesn't want to see him go to the capital to die like this.

Gong Jiu had to admit that this time he really made a mistake, and if Shu Mingshen left at this moment, other secrets hidden on this island might also be discovered by the imperial army.

The emperor may have already noticed something, so he sent people here to arrest Shu Mingshen, although losing such an island is not a complete loss for Gong Jiu, Wu Ming and others' plan , but after all, it will still have an impact on the overall situation...

Therefore, handing Shu Mingshen to the emperor at this moment is actually their best choice. At least it can buy them a lot of time to destroy all the evidence here, so that the little emperor will not be suspicious.

However, Gong Jiu's heart is still very contradictory.

Shu Mingshen clearly should be just a pawn that he buried for the overall plan, when did he become the one who wanted to protect the opponent's comprehensiveness even if he gave up his own plan?

And the most important thing now is that even if he gave up the situation that is beneficial to him in front of him, he still may not be able to ensure that Shu Mingshen is safe and sound...

Shuming heard the words deeply, blinked his eyes slowly, and then smiled and said: "I know Brother Ninth is doing it for my own good, and I hope I can escape as soon as possible, but this matter has already been decided, and I will never Can implicate other people on this island..."

Yan Qi was about to add a few more sentences to his suicide note, but Gong Jiu raised his hand to grab his hand, pulled him up from the table and said, "Do you know that once you enter the palace, you will be Wouldn't it be better to go out than ascend to the sky?"

Gong Jiu looked at Shuming's eyes that were as clear as water, and said a little irritably: "Even if that person won't kill you, it is possible to keep you in prison for a lifetime, are you willing to be his prisoner forever? ?”

Shu Ming tilted his head when he heard the words and thought for a while, "I naturally don't want to be someone else's prisoner..."

Seeing that Gong Jiu was happy when he heard the words, and wanted to go outside when he was pulling him, Shu Ming frowned deeply and continued: "But I have already said it, and I have never done anything against the etiquette of heaven and earth. No shame, even if the emperor wants to deal with me, he must have a reason to follow..."

Gong Jiu glared at him, gritted his teeth bitterly and said: "He is an unreasonable person, otherwise why would he have sent someone to take your life without any explanation? Can you still trust him?!"

Seeing that Gong Jiu was really angry, Shu Ming was at a loss, and after thinking for a while, he pushed the other party back into the chair beside him, and comforted him while patting his back: "Brother Jiu, your wound It's just right, don't tear the wound again because of anger!"

Gong Jiu pulled down his arm on his back and grabbed it, expressionlessly said: "You haven't answered my question yet."

Shu Mingshen was a little funny, but he couldn't laugh anymore. After a while, he could only say: "I don't know whether I should believe him, but I always feel that I have to meet him..."

Seeing that Gong Jiu's face was so ugly, Shu Mingshen said hastily: "If I don't go, this matter will never end. Even if I can escape the chasing soldiers sent by the Holy One, there are many others People are trying to catch me for their own DM ambitions."

Shu Ming said slowly: "I don't want to be a fugitive who has been arrested for the rest of my life, but if death is really unavoidable, I also want to die in front of today's emperor, because only in this way can this matter come to an end completely. !"

"..." Gong Jiu closed her eyes and was silent for a long time upon hearing this.

Shu Ming hesitated deeply, looked at the other party cautiously and said, "Ninth brother?"

Gong Jiu opened his eyes again and looked at him: "Have you really decided?"

Shu Mingshen nodded slowly but firmly towards him.

"..." Gong Jiu stood up and walked around the room twice with his hands behind his back, as if thinking about something in his heart.

"..." Shu Mingshen just stood there in a daze, looking at the figure of the other party.

After thinking carefully for a moment, Gong Jiu said to Shu Ming, "In that case, I will enter the palace with you in a few days."

Shu Ming was stunned when he heard the words, then quickly shook his head and said, "How can that be done?!"

He did this so that his friends would not be involved. If the sage saw Gong Jiu and his so-called "rebel" together, then Gong Jiu would really be confused with him!

Shu Mingshen's cold sweat was about to flow down his back, he just shook his head blindly.

Gong Jiu said to him with a gentle face: "Anyway, the duel between Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng is imminent. After I petition the emperor, he will definitely announce that I will wait for the prince to enter the palace. Then I will find a way to go to the palace." I found you, Brother Shu!"

Shu Ming still frowned tightly when he heard the words, apparently still felt that this method was too risky.

Gong Jiu sighed slightly, and said to him: "Actually, according to my opinion, you should leave here immediately and go far away, but since you are not willing to give in, then the only one who gives in is you..."

"Brother Shu, don't worry, I've been to the palace many times before, and I'm very familiar with it," Gong Jiu raised his hand and stroked the broken hair on Shu Ming's cheeks that seemed to be about to cry, and comforted him, saying: " You wait a few days, and I will definitely find you after I enter the palace."

Shu Mingshen finally nodded this time. He naturally believed in Gong Jiu, because the other party seemed to be able to find him every time he was in crisis.

Shu Mingshen is not a lunatic, and he is naturally unwilling to go to such a dangerous place as the palace, but since there is no other way at this moment, he can only live with the situation.

He thought that after he made this decision, he might never see Gong Jiu again, but he didn't expect that the other party was still willing to take the risk to find him.

How could Shu Mingshen not be moved, he was so moved that he almost told the fact that the person he likes is the other party.

Fortunately, it was just a little bit close, otherwise Shu Mingshen would be even more worried about Gong Jiu's safety.

At least his relationship with the other party is just a friend at the moment, and even if it gets involved, it may not hurt the other party, but once the window paper is pierced, the relationship between him and the other party will be completely unclear.

Although Shu Mingshen really wanted to tell the other party that he liked Jiu Gongzi, in this case, he couldn't say it no matter what.

"Ninth brother, you are so kind to me!" Hence, Shu Mingshen could only sniff hard and said, "You are simply my second-born parents, and I am willing to be your bosom friend for the rest of my life!"

"..." Gong Jiu seemed a little helpless, so he had to sigh slightly: "Since the book brother wants to be a confidant with me, I will be the confidant of the book brother, but you must not regret it, book brother..."

Shu Mingshen was a little embarrassed, and after a few smirks, he said seriously: "If I can have a confidant like Brother Ninth in my next life, then I will die without regret."

Gong Jiu raised his eyebrows, looked at him with deep meaning and said: "But I still have some regrets, after all, my idea all along is not to just be confidantes with Brother Shu..."

Shuming blinked his big eyes deeply and looked at the other party for a moment, then pretended not to understand, blushed and concentrated on writing his suicide note: "..."

"..." Gong Jiu looked at the other party's ostrich-like behavior and smiled slightly, but after a while, his expression became serious again, just quietly thinking about how to implement his next plan.

The fleet of Jin Yiwei arrived three days later.

Shu Mingshen had already made all preparations on the shore at that time, and solemnly handed over his suicide note to Aji and others.

Dongfang Bubai glared at him with a look of hatred, while Aji, Hua Manlou and others said goodbye to him.

"Hua believes that I will see you again, Brother Shu," Hua Manlou said with a deep smile to Shu Ming in front of him, "Before that, please take good care of yourself, Brother Shu!"

Aji also nodded at him.

Shu Mingshen solemnly said goodbye to the other party and Lu Xiaofeng and others beside him, and finally, he finally walked up to the Ninth Young Master.
