Guan Jiyu went out, and Xia Mingzhong was standing under the tree in the yard outside, waiting. All she could think about was what Jin Chan said to her at the end: "This request is very simple, I believe you can do it, right?"
Xia Mingzhong saw her coming and asked, "How is it? Did she give you the final chapter?"
Guan Jiyu shook his head and replied: "Not yet, we have to wait for a while."
"What are you waiting for?" Xia Mingzhong was a little surprised and said, "Since you already know that the things are at her place, why don't you just come over?"
Guan Jiyu hung her head wilfully, and a lot of residual leaves fell on the ground. She stepped on them with her feet and said, "How can it be that simple? We only know that she is there, but we don't know whether it is hiding on her or being hidden by her.
To another place? It would be too risky to snatch it by force. What if I offend her and get destroyed by her? What’s more, Jin Chan has put forward conditions. As long as her conditions are met, she should be able to get it back smoothly."
Xia Mingzhong was worried and asked again: "Are you sure you can meet her conditions?"
He was measured and within the concern, he did not touch the conditions that she did not want to say.
Guan Jiyu thought to herself, isn't it just a promise not to meet Jin Chan and Xiang Lincheng before their wedding? What's so difficult about this? Now that she has seen her heart clearly, she will never miss Xiang Lincheng any more. Now he is getting married.
Even if they get married, it's none of her business.
It's just that Jin Chan may be a little uneasy in her heart. She is always worried that Guan Jiyu will disturb the marriage. In order to successfully consummate the marriage, she made this request, right?
Guan Jiyu had two choices before him.
One is the practice Zhang Ye that she has been pursuing so hard. If she can really get back the final chapter of "The Wind-Slaying Technique", there may be some hope that she can regain her original kung fu.
The other one is Xiang Lincheng.
Compared with his own health and that of a man, Guan Jiyu would only choose the former no matter what.
"Now that I no longer have him in my heart, how can I joke about my future?"
Guan Jiyu said to Xia Mingzhong: "There should be no problem now. They will get married in about a month. Then they will just wait for the ceremony to be completed and I will come and get my things back."
Xia Mingzhong nodded and said seriously: "If necessary, I can follow you here again."
Guan Jiyu was in a good mood. While walking on the road outside with Xia Mingzhong, he asked: "Speaking of which, I still want to ask you. It's been more than a year since the "Wind-Destroying Jue" incident. Not to mention other people, even
I have almost given up thinking about it myself, so Brother Xia, why do you still hold it so dearly and still take it to heart?"
Guan Jiyu thought for a while and said: "If I remember correctly, except for practicing in the palace last year, we have only met a few times in the palace before, and we have never spoken a few words.
No need. Then...why do you help me like this?"
Xia Mingzhong walked slowly, and a subtle expression suddenly appeared on his handsome and wild face. After a long time, he said casually: "There is no affection. If you insist on asking why, then maybe I see my youth in you."
It’s like that time.”
"What did you look like when you were young?" Guan Jiyu pointed at himself and said, "Me? I heard that you have been called "Beidao" for a long time. With your fame and strength, I dare not talk to you.
Comparable."
"I'm not talking about that." Xia Mingzhong glanced at Guan Jiyu and said calmly: "I didn't know much at first, but if I think about it carefully, maybe you are just like me at that time, with no backing. A person has no backing and no family power.
It doesn't matter if you support me, but if you are born in such an environment and you are too sharp, it will not be a good thing."
Guan Jiyu said blankly: "But I have never done anything public. From the beginning, the eldest son has taught us not to be arrogant or bully the weak. Over the years, I have always abided by his teachings and behaved cautiously.
Be careful what you do."
Xia Mingzhong looked at her again, stopped, and said seriously: "In this world, if you are not careful, misfortune will stay away from you. If your light is not supported, it will make people with intentions have intentions..."
"Then, you were also targeted by someone with intentions...?" Guan Jiyu asked cautiously: "You
But Beidao! How dare anyone?"
Xia Mingzhong put the Nullah Knife on his waist and walked slowly with his hands behind his back, "So what about the Northern Knife? It's not like it can't protect the people around me. I once thought that with my skill, I would be able to protect the important people around me.
, but in the end I discovered that I was nothing in front of some forces that were above me."
Guan Jiyu nodded affirmatively, and Xia Mingzhong's words made her couldn't help but echo: "That's right, when they tortured my companions like that in the Well of Purgatory, I could only watch helplessly, but there was nothing I could do about it.
"
Xia Mingzhong said "Yes" and asked softly: "When you get the final chapter of "The Wind-Slaying Technique" this time, if you can regain your previous skills, will you go back again?"
Guan Jiyu knew he was asking, would he return to the border camp?
She said without hesitation: "If I could really regain all my kung fu, I think I would go back."
Xia Mingzhong raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? You know that staying there is not easy, and you know that you may lose your head from time to time, do you still want to go back?"
"I know what I have done." Guan Jiyu said with some emotion: "My country may not be that strong, but if everyone can do their best to support it, one day it will definitely become a country that has made the world a better place."
All the surrounding countries respect and fear this big country! Under the overturned nest, are there intact eggs? If it collapses, even if I hide, where can I hide?"
Guan Jiyu thought about her encounter with King Ying in the Well of Purgatory again. She reminded Xia Mingzhong: "It's you, Brother Xia, your swordsmanship is godlike. You will have a place everywhere, so why do you have to be persistent?"
Where are you following Prince Ying? Don’t you still know what he is doing and what he is thinking? The dignified prince of Xuli Kingdom can come and go at will in the enemy camp. What is his intention? Do you really still watch?
Don’t you understand?”
After leaving the alley street, the two of them walked onto the spacious road. Xia Mingzhong stopped, faced Guan Jiyu, and said solemnly: "Whatever the prince does or wants to do, I don't even want to ask, and I don't know how to do it."
Think about why he did these things. All I can do is stand by his side and listen to his orders."
Regarding this issue, Guan Jiyu was not willing to be vague. She insisted: "Brother Xia, I saw that you have a righteous spirit, so I can persuade you. If a person is alive and can't even distinguish right from wrong, then
What’s the point?”
"Right or wrong..." Xia Mingzhong recited these three words silently. He suddenly smiled with an unknown meaning, and then slowly said: "Does right or wrong matter to me? Anyway, I have already lived.
Like a puppet, if it weren't for him, I would have lost my life long ago... I saved him, and he also saved me. Because of him, I was able to avoid being hunted and appear like a human being.
In this land of the capital, he and I not only redeem each other, we have long been entwined and there is no way we can break away from each other."
"I just feel it's a pity." Guan Jiyu said still unwillingly: "If a top expert like you came to defend our country, it would be great if there were more people like you in the border camp..."
Xia Mingzhong chuckled, shook his head and said, "You are indeed still very young."
Guan Jiyu was a little angry at his sneer, so he glared at him and said, "Why are you laughing? Do you think I'm ridiculous? What do these words have to do with whether I'm young or not? I dare say, if it happens again,
Ten years, twenty years, or thirty or fifty years later, I will still think like this!"
Xia Mingzhong nodded heavily and said, "Okay, okay, you have backbone and you have faith."
His perfunctory attitude made Guan Jiyu arouse another layer of anger. Guan Jiyu gritted his teeth and said: "Not only me, but everyone in Xuli country should have such a belief, right? As long as we remain like this Xuli country
The people of this country should guard it well, it is their unshirkable duty!"
"I only know how to eat the emperor's salary and be loyal to the emperor." He said leisurely: "I met the prince when I was running around and had no way to escape. Didn't I tell you that? If it weren't for him, my life would have been long gone.
I don’t know where he left it. There may be some problems with him, but he was the one who made me a new person and gave me another bite to eat. How could I abandon him?"
Xia Mingzhong took off the nullah knife from his waist. He slowly pulled the knife out of the scabbard and used
He wiped his sleeve and put it back, saying: "As long as I and my knife are still there, I can dedicate everything to him, even my life."
Guan Jiyu was speechless for a moment. She couldn't think of anything to say to argue with Xia Mingzhong. She could only say angrily: "Okay, you are loyal and you are the most loyal. I have nothing to say, and I can't tell you clearly."
!」
Xia Mingzhong's hearty laughter sounded, and Guan Jiyu frowned and said: "I am very grateful to you for encouraging me when I was desperate, and I am also grateful for everything you have done to help me. But we are not on the same path, and we are not on the same path.
People, please stop talking about these things, so as not to cause more trouble!"
"I didn't say it." Xia Mingzhong lowered his head and looked at her funny, and said, "Didn't you mention it yourself first?"
Guan Jiyu turned away and said bluntly: "I shouldn't have said it. I will never mention this matter to you again! But I will remind you one last time. If you associate with evil and work as a coward, you will only harm yourself in the end!"
"I know." Xia Mingzhong said he knew, but his face still looked like a joke.
How does his playful demeanor look like what a middle-aged man should look like?!
Guan Jiyu cupped his fists and said, "Just say goodbye, I'm leaving."
She turned around and left, only to hear a "Okay".
Xia Mingzhong paused and called out behind her: "If you need anything, you can come to me again!"
