Jiang Yingnian clutched the tea cup tightly. His expression was ugly, as if he had suffered a great deal of aggrievedness and found it difficult to hold on. After a moment of silence, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and suddenly spoke loudly: "I
Forcing you? Do you think I am forcing you?"
Guan Jiyu replied calmly: "Isn't it? Since I have already said that I do not want to return to the border camp, it means that I have already thought it through in my heart. This is my decision. Why do you need to persuade me again? This is not forced.
, what is that?"
"I just can't accept your sudden betrayal!" The porcelain cup was suddenly crushed in Jiang Yingnian's hand. There were other customers sitting in the restaurant. When they heard the sudden noise, they all turned their heads and cast strange looks.
Han Xu whispered: "Sir, please keep your voice down. There are so many people sitting here, don't be like this, just say what you have to say."
Only then did Jiang Yingnian regain his composure, lowered his voice and said, "Okay, let's talk it over. Let's talk it over."
Guan Jiyu's eyebrows were downcast, his eyes only fell on the noodle bowl in front of him, and he listened quietly to Jiang Yingnian's excited venting.
"Guan Jiyu, didn't we agree at the beginning? At that time, I was in the eastern camp and you were far away in the north. Although we were far apart, we were able to achieve this goal together by exchanging letters. This matter
We have agreed on this a long time ago, have you forgotten?!"
As Jiang Yingnian spoke, he became even angrier and said, "I thought we were on the same page. Do you think you are the only one who has it difficult? Don't I have no problems?"
Guan Jiyu raised the corner of his mouth, pulled out a faint smile, and said softly: "I have not forgotten that incident. I did have such determination at that time. But no one is a god. He can predict what will happen next. If I can predict what will happen next,
thing, then maybe I wouldn’t have gone to the border camp in the first place. At least I wouldn’t have let Zheshu and Jingcun go with us. If they had not gone to the military camp, they would not have encountered such a thing.
"
"No, no, no!" Jiang Yingnian clenched his fists and said, "Ayu, what's wrong with you?! You were clearly not such a person before. The battlefield is inherently cruel. Either you die or I die! You have always been
Why does a strong and brave person suddenly become like this?!"
The autumn wind blew straight into the restaurant along the open door. Guan Jiyu shivered from the cold. She rubbed her arms and said: "People will not always be the same, and nothing will remain the same. Jiang Ying
Nian, don’t be so childish all the time, okay?”
"I'm naive, ha, I'm naive..." Jiang Yingnian nodded repeatedly and smiled bitterly: "If I were naive, I wouldn't be like this! If I were naive, I wouldn't want to be with you..."
Jiang Yingnian's eyes turned red again, and his voice was slightly hoarse as he said: "You used to look down on me and thought I was just a playboy who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun. I was indeed very childish before and did a lot of things.
Ridiculous thing. But now, anyone can say something about me, only you! Guan Jiyu, you can’t say that about me!"
The cold wind was blowing, and Guan Jiyu's lips were already white from the cold. Han Xu noticed her discomfort and deliberately softened his words: "Master, Jiyu, we have almost eaten. I think it's quite cold in this restaurant."
Yes, how about we find a place to have a nice chat again? We haven’t seen each other for a long time, so don’t be so emotional when we come up.”
Jiang Yingnian glanced at Guan Jiyu and said: "Han Xu is right, Ayu, don't be so sure yet. You haven't seen the gift I gave you yet. This place is not far from the capital. Let's go together first
Go take a look."
Guan Jiyu knew that he didn't have a suitable excuse to evade, so he silently followed the two of them out of the restaurant.
Jiang Yingnian and Han Xu were riding on horses. Seeing that Guan Jiyu was coming in a carriage, Jiang Yingnian consciously put Guan Jiyu on the carriage first. As soon as he opened the curtain, there were large and small bags of medicine piled up inside.
The package appears.
The carriage was filled with a strong smell of medicine. Jiang Yingnian felt uncomfortable with the pungent smell. He frowned and covered his nose and said: "What is this? Why did you put so many medicine bags? Don't say you are giving
The second brother brought it. He changed the prescription and took the medicine, and he took it just right. With so much medicine, even if you take it back, it will be a waste. How can he take it with his mouth?"
Han Xu also came over to take a look and kindly told Guan Ji
Yu: "Ji Yu, when we returned to the house this time, we did see that the second young master was taking new medicine. If he suddenly takes other medicine, it might not be a good thing."
Jiang Yingnian pinched his nose and fanned himself, and said on his own initiative: "This is too much, Ayu, let's go to the capital to find a drug store and get rid of all these medicines."
"No need." Guan Jiyu, who had been silent all this time, finally said, "It's not for the second young master. I am taking these medicines myself."
She controlled the tone of every word and tried to say these words naturally in the most relaxed tone.
Jiang Yingnian looked at her in surprise and asked, "Are you eating? What's wrong with you? Are you sick?"
Han Xu also responded with a concerned look and said, "I just saw that your face was not looking good, and I wanted to ask if you were feeling unwell."
Jiang Yingnian quickly grabbed a packet of medicine from the carriage, "Let me see what medicine is packed in it!" He was about to tear open the packet of medicine, but Guan Jiyu reached out and stopped him.
Guan Jiyu took the medicine bag from his hand and put it back into the carriage. He said lightly: "It's nothing serious. I got sick not long ago and had a fever for several days. I didn't take it seriously."
What happened is that it took a few days to delay the condition, which delayed the condition a bit. But it doesn’t matter. The medicines I took are pretty good. I will probably be cured if I take them for a while."
"I didn't even hear you say you were sick." Jiang Yingnian said angrily, "You know you are sick and weak, how dare you sit in that Arrancarto shop for so long without saying a word?"
He seemed to have seized the opportunity and took advantage of the situation and said: "You are such a stubborn person and you still don't listen to me. Think about why you got sick even though you were fine? You almost never got sick before, practicing martial arts
The body of a man is naturally stronger, but you got sick just because your body became slack after not being in the military camp."
Guan Jiyu just listened to his words quietly, neither agreeing nor objecting. After he finished speaking, she said tiredly: "Aren't you leaving?"
Han Xu responded: "Let's set off. It's windy on the roadside. We'll talk about it when we get there."
Jiang Yingnian thought for a moment and said, "Han Xu, you ride away. Ayu and I will take this carriage directly to the new house."
The rain had stopped, and the three of them walked towards the capital one after another. Guan Jiyu was extremely tired, so he sat in the carriage and closed his eyes, feeling a little relieved.
Jiang Yingnian could tell that she was in a bad state, and he didn't want to say anything more at the moment. He consciously kept his mouth shut and kept quiet. He stretched out his hand and directly took Guan Jiyu's cold hand.
Guan Jiyu's hand trembled slightly, his palm was very warm, and the warmth flowed along her palm, through her entire arm, and through her entire body. Her originally cold body was slowly ignited by this warmth, and before long, her body
The palms of my hands actually became warm.
"Jiang Yingnian." Guan Jiyu closed his eyes and suddenly called his name.
Jiang Yingnian quickly came over and said, "I'm here, what's wrong?"
Guan Jiyu's eyelashes trembled slightly, but she still closed her eyes and whispered: "It's been almost a year."
"What?" Jiang Yingnian was puzzled at first, and then suddenly realized: "Yes, it has been almost a year since we joined Xiang Junying."
"It's not just that." She suddenly covered her mouth and coughed violently. She coughed until her whole face turned red before she slowly stopped and said weakly: "It has been almost a year since the eldest son passed away."
Jiang Yingnian's eyes were lonely. He lowered his head slightly and said in despair, "I haven't forgotten it, but I still can't believe that it's been almost a year since my eldest brother left us..."
"It's been a year, we've been busy, walking here and there, but we haven't caught the murderer of the eldest son." Guan Jiyu opened his eyes, his eyes empty, and said: "Sometimes, I feel so useless.
It’s really useless. I can’t handle his cultivation, let alone his expectations of me.”
"Don't say that!" Jiang Yingnian retorted: "Why can't you live up to his expectations? His original intention of establishing Qingziying back then was to strengthen the military strength of the entire Xuli Kingdom. Although I was not sensible when I was young, but this
One thing I will always keep in mind!"
"As a member of the Qingzi Camp, you were able to successfully pass the selection for the Beizhong General Mansion Concentration Camp, and you passed the selection with first place. Later, you
Through my own efforts, I have achieved this step by step and won the honor established by the general. Ayu, with such an achievement, is this still considered an apology to my elder brother?"
Guan Jiyu raised her head slightly, she took a breath and said with difficulty: "So what, even if I become the top general one day, what will happen? What's funny is that I still can't find the person who killed me.
The real murderer of the young master, the eldest young master, passed away from this world with regret like that, how unwilling he must be, do you think?"
Jiang Yingnian was silent. Could it be that what she said was not what he thought?
It’s just that there are indeed too many things in this world that make people unable to do what they want. Even if Jiang Yingnian has the determination to avenge his elder brother a thousand times in his heart, his ability is limited after all. Even if he wants to break his head, he still has to face reality in the end.
.
Guan Jiyu shook Jiang Yingnian's hand and said, "I have experienced a lot this year. I know I have changed, a lot. But my determination to avenge the eldest son will never change!
"
She said softly: "I really don't want to go back. It doesn't matter whether you say I've gone against my promise or that I have no righteousness for my family and country. Now, I just want to spend my life and just do one thing."
The thing is to find the enemy who killed the eldest son."
"That way, I can truly realize the final value of my life."
