He sat at his desk, looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, lost in deep thought. Marriage was indeed not a matter he could decide lightly. He knew deeply that once he agreed to Dong Zhuo, it meant he would be closely linked to the Dong family, and his future fate would be inextricably tied to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was lost in thought, there was a knock at the door. Gu Yi opened the door to see Li Ru standing outside, wearing a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Li, visiting so late at night, what is the purpose?” Gu Yi asked, already having a vague guess as to Li Ru’s intention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ru smiled lightly, walked into the room, and found a seat. “Gu Yi, have you considered the matter the Prime Minister mentioned to you today?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi sighed and sat down opposite Li Ru. “Mr. Li, to be honest, I am very conflicted. Miss Dong is a golden branch and jade leaf, while I am but a mere martial man; I fear I am not a match for her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Li Ru shook his head. “Gu Yi, your words are wrong. In my view, you are not only talented but also pure and kind in nature, making you a rare and excellent husband. Although Miss Dong comes from a noble background, she also needs someone who can treat her sincerely. I believe you are that person.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi was silent for a moment and said: “Mr. Li, I know you mean well. But marriage is not child’s play. Although Miss Dong and I have had contact, we do not have a deep understanding of each other. If we were to marry rashly, I fear it would be irresponsible to both parties.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ru nodded, his expression becoming serious. “Gu Yi, what you say also makes sense. But do you know that the Prime Minister attaches great importance to this matter? If you can marry Miss Dong, it will not only be of great benefit to your personal future but will also solidify your position in the Xiliang Army.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gu Yi gave a bitter smile. “Mr. Li, how could I not know? It is just that matters of the heart cannot be forced. If I were to marry Miss Dong for the sake of power, I fear I would not be happy in the future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ru looked at Gu Yi, a flash of appreciation in his eyes. “Gu Yi, you are indeed a man of principle. However, you need not worry too much. The Prime Minister is not an unreasonable person; he just wants to find a good home for Miss Dong. If you can treat her sincerely, the Prime Minister will naturally see it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Gu Yi’s heart stirred slightly. He knew that Li Ru’s words were not insincere, but truly meant for his own good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Li, thank you for your guidance. I will think about this matter carefully and will certainly not let down the high expectations of the Prime Minister and Miss Dong,” Gu Yi said, his tone revealing a trace of firmness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ru patted Gu Yi on the shoulder and stood up. “Gu Yi, think it over carefully. I believe you will surely make the right choice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Li Ru turned and left. Gu Yi stood at the door, watching Li Ru’s back, his heart filled with emotion. He knew his fate seemed to have been tightly linked to the Dong family. And the road ahead would change drastically because of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the following days, Gu Yi was always absent-minded. He often thought of Dong Zhuo’s proposal and Dong Bai’s slightly shy gaze, and his heart would be in a panic. He tried to distract himself with busy military affairs, but whenever the night was deep and quiet, those thoughts would come rushing back like a tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This day, Gu Yi was training troops on the drill ground when he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps. He turned back to see a soldier running over in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“General Gu, the Prime Minister requests your presence,” the soldier said, his expression hurried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi’s heart tightened; he knew that Dong Zhuo looking for him at this time must be for that matter. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then followed the soldier to the Prime Minister’s mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving at the Prime Minister’s mansion, Gu Yi was led directly to Dong Zhuo’s study. Dong Zhuo was sitting at his desk, his expression grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gu Yi, you have come,” Dong Zhuo said, his tone revealing a trace of fatigue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After paying his respects, Gu Yi stood to the side, waiting for Dong Zhuo’s follow-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Zhuo glanced at Gu Yi and said slowly: “Gu Yi, how have you considered it these past few days?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Gu Yi’s heart chilled. He knew that at this moment, he had to give a clear answer. Therefore, he took a deep breath, looked at Dong Zhuo, and said earnestly: “Prime Minister, after these few days of consideration, I feel that Miss Dong and I still lack sufficient understanding of each other. Marriage is a major life event that concerns one’s lifelong happiness, and I cannot decide rashly. Therefore, please forgive my offense; I cannot accept this marriage for the time being.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Dong Zhuo was silent for a moment, then let out a long sigh. “Gu Yi, I know you have your considerations. Very well, I will no longer force this matter. But you must remember my high regard for you and my love for Bai Er. I hope that even if you two cannot become husband and wife, you can still become confidants and friends.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Gu Yi’s heart relaxed. He knew that Dong Zhuo’s words were sincere, and he was filled with gratitude. “Prime Minister, thank you for your understanding. I will certainly remember your teachings, treat Miss Dong with courtesy, and become a confidant and friend.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Zhuo nodded, his expression becoming gentle. “Gu Yi, you are a pillar of talent in my Xiliang Army. I hope you will assist me wholeheartedly and achieve great things together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi bowed respectfully. “Prime Minister, rest assured, Gu Yi will certainly do his utmost and not fail your trust.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Gu Yi took his leave. Walking out of the gate of the Prime Minister’s mansion, he felt a sense of relief. He knew he had finally made the right choice. And the road ahead would become clearer because of this.\u003C\u002Fp>",1104,"2026-06-16T10:17:29.323Z","2026-06-16T10:29:14.565Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","da39323a4372a05cd3ff4321df2f79064bf7d78ea134c18ead0b58e967f7ccb4","three-kingdoms-humiliated-by-the-coalition-i-def-chapter-1070","three-kingdoms-humiliated-by-the-coalition-i-def-chapter-1068",1103,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthree-kingdoms-humiliated-by-the-coalition-i-def-cover.jpg"]
