Chapter 602: Deadly Question
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“If one day, when you become an official in a certain place, a bandits captures your wife and eldest daughter and uses them to threaten you.”
The mountain elder’s voice was very calm, but when he spoke, everyone’s ears could not help but prick up. Even Gu Yundong was the same.
He stopped in the middle of his sentence and Qi Ting whispered, “My grandfather must be asking if he could protect his country in the face of the threat of the bandits. He should sacrifice his wife and daughter’s lives to serve the country.”
Hmph, even those who had been officials had such thoughts. This question was a repeated one without any novelty.
But very quickly, the mountain elder changed the topic and asked, “And you can only save one person. Are you going to save your wife or your daughter?”
Everyone was speechless.
Qi Ting felt his face hurt a little. Grandfather, your question is abnormal.
Gu Yundong sighed secretly. Mountain Elder Qi was trying to stir up trouble.
This was like a woman asking a man who should be saved first when his mother and wife fell into the water at the same time.
As expected, Mountain Elder Qi had a gloating look in his eyes. He picked up the teacup and took another sip. He smiled and said, “Think about it slowly. There’s no hurry.”
Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, Gu Dajiang said decisively, “There’s no need for me to save them.”
The mountain elder stopped in his tracks. The others looked at him in shock.
I didn’t expect you to be such a ruthless person. You don’t even want the lives of your wife and daughter. Why? Are you going to marry another woman and have children with her?
Everyone looked at Madam Yang and Gu Yundong with sympathy.
However, Madam Yang looked confused while Gu Yundong looked calm.
Gu Dajiang continued, “Other than my strength, I can only talk. My daughter, Yundong, is very skilled. She can save my wife. If I go over, I’ll cause trouble for her.”
Gu Yundong smiled. Yes, that was it.
Mountain Elder Qi almost spat out his tea. He looked up at Gu Dajiang and saw that he still looked proud.
He was speechless.
He looked at Gu Yundong again. This young lady’s martial arts were good? Her arms and legs looked like they could be broken with a little force.
The others also felt that Gu Dajiang was clearly looking for an excuse.
The mountain elder steadied himself and said again, “What if your daughter were also helpless and could only wait for you to save her?”
Gu Dajiang did not blurt out. Instead, he lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before asking seriously, “Then how far away are the robbers from me?”
Qi Ting frowned. “What does that have to do with anything? You just have to answer which one to save first.”
“Of course it’s related. The situation is different, and the rescue plan is also different. There are ways to attack from afar, and close combat methods. How can they be the same? As long as the method is planned well, both of them can be saved. There’s no need to choose at all.”
Qi Ting was instantly speechless. It seemed like… that was indeed the case.
The corner of the mountain elder’s mouth twitched. Was he trying to avoid the main point? That would depend on whether he was willing or not.
He was someone who wanted to cause trouble. How could he let it go just like that?
Hence, Mountain Elder Qi said coldly, “You’re not far from the bandits. They’re only about twenty steps away.”
“Do the bandits have a sharp weapon?”
“They do.”
“In or out of the city?”
“Outside the city.”
“Are there any woods or ponds nearby?”
“No.”
“Doi have any weapons or ropes or anything that’s useful?”
Is there no end to this question? Mountain Elder Qi straightened his body slightly. “No, you don’t have anything that can be used. The other party has enough men and you are alone outside the city. They’re not far. It’s very dry without rain. There’s no place to hide in the surrounding. So who do you want to save first?”
