Yuan Bin gazed at Gu Chengyu with a touch of pleading in his eyes, while Gu Chengyu helplessly sighed, "So be it! I am not one to fear death, and now that Wujun Prefecture is in peril, if the Emperor lays blame, I cannot evade responsibility either."
"Sir, your noble character and integrity set you apart from those civil servants who only know how to wag their tongues." Yuan Bin's perception of Gu Chengyu changed in an instant; although he was a civil servant, he was not the fearful and indecisive type.
Ming Mo glanced at Yuan Bin as if looking at a fool. Another one tricked by the master. His master loved this kind of thing. Saying no on the surface, but calculating within, that's what they call being two-faced.
It's just a pity that people always consider his master to possess noble character and integrity, turning a blind eye to these facts. Little do they realize how many people have been deceived by the master with his dignified and elegant appearance.
