When Li Yue and the others went back and reported their duties to the prime minister and the three generals including him, he vaguely felt that something was not right.
The man named Jing wanted to go south in person, and he felt that there was something fishy at that time.
He was a bitter rival who had grown up together. He definitely knew this person better than a good brother.
Jing Hexuan was a very cold person, and he seemed to be indifferent to everyone.
Li Yue's three confidants were slowly accepted because they were useful, obedient and loyal.
The man named Jing could be said to be a war machine when he was a boy, and it became even more so after he became a general. In addition to killing enemies, he also practiced martial arts.
Therefore, whether it is about the beginning of the end of the world, the matter of the old emperor, or whether it is going south in person now, and letting Mr. Yuan go to Taoyuan City no matter what, it is all very suspicious.
This series of behavior is really inconsistent with Xing Jing's usual behavior.
It was very interesting, he had to go see what happened.
…
Here Xing Chengzhen reported a black case, and over there in Taoyuan City, Zhang Xing also sent the news.
But he was stopped in front of the urn on the outer city wall, and it was Jing Hexuan who came out to meet him.
Once He Xixu arrives, things will no longer be solved simply.
"Let's not talk about whether he can help if the hero is really born. Doctor Shi will definitely come to find out what's going on." Zhang Xing was worried.
Jing Hexuan said nothing.
What Zhang Xing said made sense. He had not been dealing with He Xixu for a day or two. He knew that the most important thing was to keep his mentality stable.
What he needs to consider now is how to protect Shi Lingyao from being harassed by He Xixu.
He couldn't detect anything strange.
Jing Hexuan pondered for a moment: "Go back first and inform Mr. Yuan to return to the imperial capital immediately. If he doesn't obey..."
Zhang Xing said with a bitter face: "Mr. Yuan will definitely not listen."
Jing Hexuan turned his palm, and a bright yellow scroll appeared.
Zhang Xing was stunned and knelt down.
He handed the imperial edict in his hand to Zhang Xing: "Take this and say, this is an order."
Zhang Xing took the imperial edict with both hands: "Yes!"
In the wind and snow, Zhang Xing's figure left quickly.
Jing Hexuan stood on the wall of Wengcheng, his robes flying.
He stood with his hands behind his hands, his expression as calm as water, making it unclear what he was thinking.
"What happened?" Shi Lingyao's voice came from behind.
Jing Hexuan turned around and looked at her. Although he knew that she could definitely "hear" and "see" everything that happened, he still told her the news he just got.
Shi Lingyao raised his eyebrows: "This He Xixu sounds like a troublemaker, lest the world not be in chaos."
Jing Hexuan spread his hands: "Obviously."
Shi Lingyao looked indifferent: "If he comes to provoke me, I will definitely not be able to hide."
Jing Hexuan stared at her deeply, for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Doctor Shi, I want to join your Taoyuan City, please show me the way."
He looked at her and asked, "Who are you?"
Shi Lingyuan looked back with a calm expression and asked, "Why don't my parents want to see you?"
Jing Hexuan: "?!"
Being turned against the general, he was completely stunned.
Then he laughed at himself: "The three of us thought that we concealed each other very well, but we didn't expect that the person being concealed would have discovered the trick a long time ago."
He looked at Shi Lingyao with appreciation and doting in his eyes: "As expected of you."
Originally, he wanted to confess that he had guessed Shi Lingyao's true identity, but who knew that this person was completely unreasonable and posed a problem for him.
How to do it?
Should I confess what happened back then?
As smart as she is, since she has already seen the clues, she will not be easily fooled.
What's more, he didn't want to fool her.
Since you want to confess to her, let's start with yourself.
He motioned to Shi Lingyao to follow him back to the house first, and not to stand on the city wall eating the wind and snow. Although he was not afraid of the cold, it was very uncomfortable to bear the snow all over his body.
The two returned to the small medical clinic in Wengcheng. Jing Hexuan consciously took the kettle on the stove and poured two cups of hot tea for them.
When everything is done, sit down at the table.
He sighed slightly: "This incident is really not a good memory for me. If you are willing, I can tell you a story."
Shi Lingyao raised his hand and motioned for him to speak.
"We met when we were kids."
The first sentence surprised her, but it was also expected.
She was sure that she did not know Jing Hexuan, so she nodded clearly: "It seems that I have forgotten something."
Jing Hexuan looked at her deeply, and after a moment, he said: "My father's enemies took advantage of my return to Qingcheng's ancestral home for summer vacation to visit relatives, and wanted to kidnap me to threaten my father. You discovered it and promptly notified the secret guards who were transferred away from the mountain. them."
Shi Lingyao probably guessed what happened next.
"It was my negligence. The remaining gang members didn't clean up after that. They took revenge on you and kidnapped you. In the process, you suffered a head injury and forgot the relevant memory."
Shi Lingyao looked at Jing Hexuan: "Including you?"
Jing Hexuan looked back, with a storm brewing in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Yes, including me."
Shi Lingyao pressed the corners of his lips a little and frowned slightly: "I don't even remember."
Jing Hexuan looked at her and moved his fingers, suppressing the urge to touch the top of her hair, his throat rolling.
After a moment, he slowly spoke: "Before... I can't say it wasn't important, at least for me, it was very important."
He seemed to be considering every word and spoke very slowly.
"It doesn't matter if you don't remember, I will remember."
"I just hope that we will have more memories together in the future."
Shi Lingyao was silent.
When Jing Hexuan saw this, the emotions in his eyes gradually collapsed.
He restrained himself and asked in a suppressed voice, "Isn't it okay?"
"No matter what your status is, no matter what conditions are required to join Taoyuan City, I am willing to do so."
"Isn't this okay?"
Shi Lingyao was a little moved.
She looked at Jing Hexuan and saw his slightly trembling fingertips, and her heart tightened slightly.
In the end, she sighed softly like a compromise: "The conditions are very simple, but also very difficult. You won't be willing to do it."
Jing Hexuan stared at her stubbornly: "How do you know I don't want to if you don't tell me?"
Shi Lingyao: "The conditions are related to the biggest secret of our Taoyuan City. If you know, you must join whether you are willing or not."
Hearing this, Jing Hexuan chuckled, and a bright light flashed in his eyes: "Then I really want it."
She raised her eyebrows: "Your status in the Imperial City is not simple, right? How can you leave so easily? There is no chance of quitting when you join Taoyuan City."
When asked about this matter, Jing Hexuan was silent for a moment and replied: "It is indeed not simple, but..."
He looked at her expression with focus and determination: "Everything I have done is to fulfill the vow I made to myself back then. At this moment, if I can always live with you, then all the things I have done over the years will be The hard work pays off.”
Shi Lingyao looked at him, suddenly feeling eager to know how they had known each other since childhood.
Jing Hexuan in his youth was probably the same as he is now, right?
Seeing her relaxed expression, Jing Hexuan asked proactively: "Or are you willing to answer me, you are not actually a human being, right?"
Shi Lingyao guessed that he might have guessed some truth, but he didn't expect that he seemed to know more than he thought.
"Yes, or in other words, I am both a human and a zombie."
She heard her own voice reply.
