Mo Jingxiao did not answer first, but instead looked her up and down. His black phoenix eyes were deep and deep, sharp and clear, and seemed to be able to see through everything.
"Are you soft-hearted after what happened today?"
A flash of astonishment flashed in Ning Yujin's eyes, then she frowned and lowered her head, biting her lower lip in annoyance.
She shouldn't have asked such a question rashly.
When talking to someone like Mo Jingxiao, one word can easily reveal oneself.
But to be honest, when she saw Mo Jingxiao's eyes, she felt inexplicably that this man could be trusted.
"It's not that I'm soft-hearted, it's just that I feel a little regretful." Ning Yujin shrugged her shoulders and smiled lightly, "It's just a small fight on weekdays, but when I think about it, Ning Yuning is only fourteen years old now. If she gets married,
If she gives it to Yu Zhenji, her future life will be ruined. Inexplicably, she feels a little cruel."
Especially in the Jingxin Hall, the scene when she watched Ning Zhongjian walking out step by step touched her too much.
His back was hunched, as if a big mountain was pressing on his back, as if he had aged a lot in an instant because of what happened today.
Mo Jingxiao looked at her, flicking the rim of the tea cup casually with his slender fingers, and asked slowly: "Then do you regret it?"
Ning Yujin shook her head and replied almost without hesitation: "I don't regret it."
She is not a person who can do everything. Many times before, she only punished Ning Yuning with small punishments and big warnings.
But there is a limit to a person's tolerance. She can be wronged on the surface and take it back in secret, but the people around her will actually be affected and hurt by it.
If some things are not resolved openly, they will be like a cancer that will exist there forever and will not disappear, but will only grow bigger and bigger.
Mo Jingxiao nodded: "If you don't regret it, it proves that in your heart, you think it is worthwhile to do this. Since it is worthwhile, what else can you not figure out?"
Ning Yujin looked up at Mo Jingxiao and couldn't help but open her mouth.
Can it still be understood this way?
It seems...it makes sense.
Opposite him, Mo Jingxiao stood up and walked slowly to the window, looking up at the distant night sky outside.
The distant mountains are outlined and the shadows of the trees are tilted.
The mottled moonlight filtering in through the window outlined his outline as a silver line.
His voice slowly drifted away in such a night, mellow and moving: "I remember the first time I went to the military camp, General Di of the Zhendong Army screwed me on the horse and galloped all the way to the nearby area.
village. When he got there, he threw me to the ground almost unceremoniously."
"He was riding on a horse and I fell to the ground. He pointed his whip at the old women and children who were plowing the fields and said to me, do you see? These are the people of Daye, their men.
Those who were caught were arrested and killed, and their women were robbed and sold. They lived a life worse than a dog. Some of them died almost every day because of war and hunger!"
"He said, every kindness you show to the enemy on the battlefield will be turned into harm to the people of Daye, and they will repay you twice as much. The duty of a soldier is to protect his country and his people. If you are on the battlefield,
He is a coward, he can't even hold a knife, he can't even kill someone, so go back to Shengjing and become your pleasure prince."
"Pfft——"
Ning Yujin couldn't help but laugh out loud as she thought about the scene at that time.
"This old general Di is quite an upright man."
He actually dared to yell at Mo Jingxiao like that. I don't know if Mo Jingxiao cooled him off at that time.
However, when Ning Yujin secretly looked at Mo Jingxiao, she noticed that when he talked about General Di, the stiff lines on his face clearly melted away, his eyes were filled with light, and his expression became much softer.
"That's exactly what he said. At that time, he just threw me into a pile of new recruits, without telling anyone my identity, and left me to fumble around on my own. It wasn't until a certain military parade, when he saw me, that he seemed to
Think of me. At that time, I was already a captain of the Yue Cavalry School, and I had independently led the army to participate in many battles."
Ning Yujin's temples jumped when she heard this, and she couldn't help but ask: "I want to say, how old is General Di?"
There was a big question mark on Mo Jingxiao's eyebrows, as if he didn't understand why she asked this. But he still answered: "Sixty to five."
Ning Yujin suddenly realized: "In my opinion, General Di doesn't really care about you, but he has become a little confused in his old age and has simply forgotten about this incident."
Otherwise, with his status as Mo Jingxiao, he would be surrounded by thousands of people wherever he went. How could he be left aside and forgotten?
The corners of Mo Jingxiao's mouth curved slightly: "Actually, I said the same thing at the time, but the old guy refused to admit it and insisted on saying it was for me to gain experience."
When Ning Yujin heard these words, a sometimes serious and sometimes cute old man suddenly appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help but have a smile on her face: "Then did you ask anyone to slap him?"
"Ha," Mo Jingxiao lowered his eyes, with a smile showing in the corner of his eyes, "Actually, I am very grateful to him. If he hadn't let me know the suffering of the people in Daye in advance, then when I faced those lives, I might
I really couldn't do it. If he hadn't left me among the soldiers, I would never have known that the battlefield never leaves a way for people to retreat. If you can't kill your enemy with one blow, then next
In one second, his knife will cut your throat."
It was like there was an echo in the empty valley, each sound stirring in the chest.
Ning Yujin looked at Mo Jingxiao's sharp facial lines carved by the wind and rain of swords on the battlefield, and seemed to understand how he got the title of "Shura God of War".
In front of the enemy, he is the King of Hell and the Shura of Hell, leaving no way for them to survive.
In front of the people of Daye, he was the god sent by heaven to rescue them, keep them safe and secure throughout their lives.
Mo Jingxiao thinks so directly.
He only wants to protect what he wants to protect. If anyone harms him even a little bit, no matter who it is, he will show no mercy!
Isn't that what she had in mind when designing Ning Yuning?
And Mo Jingxiao is right, if you can't kill your enemy with one blow, then his knife will cut your throat in the next second.
To be kind to your enemies is to be cruel to yourself.
"I was wrong," Ning Yujin smiled at Mo Jingxiao, "There is no absolute right or wrong in anything. I just did what I should do, that's all."
The corner of Mo Jingxiao's mouth curled up slightly, he reached out and touched Ning Yujin's head, and said, "It's not too stupid."
The corner of Ning Yujin's mouth twitched and she looked at Mo Jingxiao speechlessly.
Why did she feel like he was touching her obedient puppy?
But to be honest, at this moment, the candlelight is warm, the time is quiet, and Mo Jingxiao's voice floats in the surrounding air, beautiful and calm.
