Seeing that Qi Wujie was silent, Chu Li hurriedly stood up and rescued him: "Mr. Gongsun, this matter is all my idea. It was because I saw Chengyang Hou telling Qi Wujie that he had no hope, so... I came up with this bad strategy, thinking of overthrowing Chengyang Hou first."

Chu Li looked straight at Gongsun Hou's deep eyes, filled with shrewdness and wisdom that had gone through the years.

"I'm really sorry to Lord Gongsun, but we are more concerned about soldiers and deceitful in war. I don't regret doing this. Although Chengyang Hou was imprisoned for this, what really made him punish him was the wrong thing he did before!"

Seeing that the two of them had a disagreement, Yan Mingshu was afraid that today's meeting would end, so he quickly stood up and said peace, "Mr. Gongsun, if you want to investigate in depth, in confirming that Chengyang Hou falsely accused Cheng Wang, Qi Tianyou was the main culprit, and Young Master Chu was at most... a small boost to the fire."

He coughed lightly twice and said, "The Chengyang Marquis himself is not a good official. If you can't defeat Qi Tianyou, you can defeat Chengyang Marquis is considered to be a disaster for the people. Please don't bother with Mr. Chu because of this benefit."

Gongsun Hou looked at Chu Li with a very complicated look, but Chu Li was not afraid. Gongsun Hou had no evidence, so could he still arrest himself and go to jail?

Qi Wujie, who was standing beside him, saw Chu Li standing in front of him, like a little baby protecting food, and felt sweet in his heart. It seemed that she was always like this. Even though she was not as tall as herself, she was still willing to stand in front of her.

Even if he just blocked a little bit of wind and rain for himself, he felt supremely grateful.

Gongsun Hou was slow to express his opinion after hearing Yan Mingshu's words. Qi Wujie was unwilling to let Chu Li take responsibility alone. After all, they did the matter together. Even if Gongsun Hou really chose to give up on himself because of this, he could not push a woman out to take the blame for him. If he was so ungrateful, how could he talk about the world?

Qi Wujie was about to explain, but when he saw Chu Li frowning, turned his head and glaring at him fiercely. Qi Wujie understood this look, which meant: Shut up for me!

"Forget it," the gray-haired old minister suddenly spoke, "It's the world of young people now. Perhaps our set of speeches and beliefs are really not suitable for the current chaotic and absurd situation."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and heard Gongsun Hou's words turn: "But... I still cannot agree with Young Master Chu's philosophy, and I will never use this method to help the prince get to power!"

Chu Li frowned, "Don't force it when you have different ideas, and we don't have to spend a lot of effort to convince each other. We will use our own methods to assist the prince. What if Lord Gongsun wants?"

"Not what!"

Gongsun Hou raised his beard and shouted loudly: "Young Master Chu is an act that is above the law. If you do this, I cannot stop you, but if the old minister catches the handle... the old minister will never be ruthless and will definitely report to the court to ask for guilt!"

Chu Li raised his eyebrows at Gongsun Hou and chuckled, "Don't worry, Lord Gongsun, I have no other advantages, it's just cunning, and I will never ask you to catch the handle!"

Gongsun Hou glared at her, angry and funny, "Then everyone depends on their own abilities."

"Natural, natural!"

Chu Li turned around and smiled at Qi Wujie, put his mouth to his ear and whispered: "You owe me a favor. I followed you at the risk of being sent to prison by this old man, and left a general for you. You can't treat me badly!"

Qi Wujie smiled gently, "How about you, a general, in the future?"
