Only then did Guo Ziyi realize that her upper body was bare. After a hundred push-ups and fifty squats, her body was already drenched in sweat. Her tight muscles were covered in sweat, making her look oily and shiny.
" I'm sorry..." Guo Ziyi hurriedly put on her clothes.
Zhong Lisu suppressed his pounding heart and his expression returned to calmness.
"I only know your name, but I don't know what you do.”Zhongli Su looked at Guo Ziyi again and said.
" Uh..." Guo Ziyi's brain began to spin rapidly again. Her identity was really difficult to describe now.
And you call yourself a businessman? However, the Zhong family was a legitimate merchant family. They had seen too many merchants. They could probably tell at a glance whether he was a real merchant or not.
Then what was his current identity? A death row convict who wanted to go to Chang 'an after being pardoned for his crimes?
Guo Ziyi really didn't want to say that in front of her goddess.
Seeing Guo Ziyi hesitate, Zhongli Su's expression became serious.
"The broadsword you hold is the standard of the army, and the horse you ride is a fine horse from the Western Regions. Coupled with your martial arts skills, you are from the border town.”Zhongli Su said coldly.
Guo Ziyi was shocked. She didn't expect her observation to be so detailed.
"That's right, I'm from Border Town.”
"Deserter?" Zhongli Su's gaze turned cold.
"Definitely not!" Guo Ziyi also despised the word deserter.
"Then who are you? A Turkic spy?" Zhongli Su's gaze became colder.
Guo Ziyi's heart cracked. My goddess, I saved your life, and you're looking at me like this?
A deserter and a Turkic spy? Do I look like a bad person?
Guo Ziyi's heart was stifled, and her brain was spinning rapidly. What identity should she make up for herself?
Seeing that Guo Ziyi still did not speak, Zhongli Su frowned and said in a low voice,"Tell me, who are you!"
Guo Ziyi's heart trembled. Who knew that inspiration would come so suddenly!
Guo Ziyi deliberately put on a serious face."Miss Zhong, your observation is very meticulous and your vigilance is very strong.”
Hearing Guo Ziyi's tone change, Zhongli Su was stunned for a moment and asked,""What do you mean? Who are you?”
"You're right. I'm indeed from Border Town. To be exact, I'm from Yanzhou.”
"Yanzhou?" Zhong Lisu was shocked. The city of Yanzhou that the Turkic army had just defeated and returned in defeat?”
Guo Ziyi was pleased to hear Zhongli Su say this. In front of her goddess, Guo Ziyi really wanted to tell her what she had done in Yanzhou. Which man wouldn't want to show off in front of the woman he liked?
However, he could not do it now. If he told her about it, there would probably be more trouble in the future. After all, he was on death row.
"Are you from the government?" Zhongli Su's expression calmed down a little.
"I can't tell you my exact identity yet. All I can tell you is that I serve under the Yanzhou garrison general, Taba Feng. This trip was to Chang 'an and he had to shoulder a military task.”Guo Ziyi pretended to be mysterious and replied seriously.
" A military matter? What is it…?" Zhong Lisu was still a woman after all, so she didn't know much about the military.
This was exactly what Guo Ziyi wanted. He replied bluntly,"Military affairs are confidential and cannot be told to outsiders.”
" Oh…" Zhong Lisu was stunned for a moment before his expression tensed up and he looked over coldly.
"What evidence do you have?"
"Miss Zhong, I am responsible for confidential military affairs. You shouldn't ask so much.”Guo Ziyi pretended to be serious.
"Who would dare to believe you? The Turks have just retreated and the borders are unstable. If you are a deserter or a Turkic spy, I will immediately have you escorted to the government!”
Guo Ziyi's heart skipped a beat. She was extremely depressed. This eldest daughter of the Zhong family was really aware and vigilant! An outstanding young man who loves his country and protects the border!
"As expected of the eldest daughter of the Zhong family! If the Great Tang's Western Regions were filled with people like you, why would they worry about the instability of the border?”Guo Ziyi could only praise him, but it was also a sarcastic remark.
"Cut the crap and show me the evidence!"
Guo Ziyi had no choice but to walk into the house and take out a palm-sized yellow hardcover booklet, handing it to Zhong Lisu.
"This is a document personally signed by Shuofang Regional Governor Wang Zhongsi. I've been staying at an official courier station, and there's even a courier station stamp on it. Also, my saber and horse have been recognized by Miss. It's a military standard. Is this enough evidence?”Guo Ziyi asked slowly.
Zhong Lisu looked at the document carefully. This booklet was made by the government, and there was a secret seal on it to prevent forgery. The seals of the various military horse stations were also made by the government, so it was difficult to fake them.
"Yes, I'm sorry." Zhong Lisu returned the document to Guo Ziyi, his expression and tone much calmer. In fact, Zhong Lisu was finally relieved.
"Miss Zhong, in order to avoid any complications, please keep my identity a secret.”Guo Ziyi said deliberately.
"I understand. Don't worry." Zhongli Su hurriedly nodded.
Guo Ziyi laughed secretly in her heart, but she still put on a serious expression on her face.
A servant rushed over and stood beside Zhong Lisu.""Miss, the eldest young master of the He family is here.”
Zhongli Su's expression changed, and a dark cloud covered his handsome face.
Guo Ziyi understood that the Eldest Young Master of the He family that the servant was talking about was the one who had proposed marriage to Zhong Lisu previously. Guo Ziyi was very unhappy.
"Young Master Shen, do as you please. I have something to do and will leave first.”Zhong Lisu changed the way he addressed him and turned to leave.
Guo Ziyi smiled coldly. After Zhong Lisu left for a while, she quietly followed.
In the Zhong family's main hall, Zhong Lisu sat at the head of the table, and Uncle He stood beside him with a bow.
The eldest son of the He family, He Zhien, was sitting on a chair on the left side of the hall, with two attendants standing behind him.
Guo Ziyi stood outside the hall and looked through the window. She saw that He Zhien's appearance was also considered decent, but there was a sinister aura between his eyebrows.
"It's definitely not a good thing!" Guo Ziyi thought to himself.
He Zhien looked straight at Zhong Lisu and asked with concern,""I heard that you're injured?"
"You're very well-informed, Young Master He." Zhong Lisu smiled coldly.”
"Everyone is in Liangzhou City. There are only a few doctors in the city. Besides, our two families are not outsiders, so it's only right for us to care about each other.”He Zhien had a smile on his face as he turned his head to look at an attendant behind him.
The attendant came forward with an exquisite wooden box and handed it to Uncle He. Uncle He accepted it expressionlessly.
"These are all medicinal herbs for healing and replenishing qi and blood.”
"I met a few vicious dogs on the way and was bitten a few times. There's no need for Young Master He to worry so much.”Zhongli Su said lightly.
"I've also heard about the matter. If I find out who did it, our He family will definitely not forgive him!”He Zhien immediately said with a stern expression.
