After a long silence, Ji Yun said in a hoarse voice: "In that case, it is very likely that we will not meet. Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance of meeting, without memory, I may forget to be good to you."
"I know……"
Tears burst out again, and Jiao Jiao bit her lower lip to hold back from crying.
Without his planning, she would have been imprisoned in the cold palace and alone after she was born. Even if they were brother and sister now, there was a 90% chance that they would be just around the world.
But rather than being separated from each other, she was more afraid that he would disappear and cease to exist.
She clenched her fists and pinched her palms with her fingernails. The pain in her palms covered the dull pain in her heart. She said hoarsely: "Whether I am a fairy or a demon, I will definitely come to you after I escape from reincarnation. If you are still willing at that time, I will meet you in my true identity..."
Despite her efforts to suppress it, her voice still had a slight tremor at the end.
She knew very well that this idea would not be satisfactory.
Time has always been cruel. No matter how unforgettable love or undying affection is, it will slowly become mottled and decayed under its erosion.
What's more, in the cycle of reincarnation, he will meet a new lover, who will replace her and become indispensable in his life.
Ji Yun's throat moved slightly, and there were tiny crystals flickering in the deep eyes, which were bright and dim, and unclear: "Is it okay if I don't have anyone to accompany me and have no freedom?"
Jiao Jiao's heart trembled slightly, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, suppressed the nostalgia and fear in his heart, pulled the corner of his mouth, and gave a casual smile.
"It doesn't matter, why is life not just living? Besides, you are well-dressed and well-fed, and someone will give you food and clothes when you arrive. It's too late for the people at the bottom to envy you."
Ji Yun looked at her quietly, watching her try hard to cover up, but the loneliness in her eyes became clearer and clearer.
He turned his head away, and the sparkle that had been in his eyes for a long time could no longer be held back and rolled down.
He raised his hand to brush the broken hair on his forehead, and quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his inner fingers. He turned his head and pretended to be relaxed: "Then you must come to find me, and you can't break the promise."
"Um!"
Jiao Jiao sniffed and raised three fingers: "I swear, I will definitely find you if I go to the underworld or to the underworld!"
After returning from the imperial study, she locked herself in the room for a whole day. When she came out again, the eyes of the people around her changed.
She didn't feel much about this. After finding out that Queen Mother Luo made excuses not to get along with her, she moved to Linhua Palace.
Three days later, Jiao Jiao finally gathered her emotions and went to the imperial study room to find Ji Yun. When the eunuch guards at the door saw her, they subconsciously backed away and completely forgot to salute.
She ignored them and passed them through the door, hearing Pei Zheng's brisk voice, "The soldiers were not against her. To them, being able to lead them to win the battle and come back alive was more important than anything else.
The princess is brave and good at fighting, and can defeat one against a hundred on the battlefield. With her around, the survival rate is obvious to all. Yang Heguang's wealthy children worship her because of her bravery, and the soldiers are willing to follow her. To a large extent, it is because of the survival rate. But the attitude of the people is..."
He didn't say the next words, but Ji Yun could also guess that after more than 20,000 years of tireless slander by the Imperial Preceptor's Office, people's fear of Princess Xiyue was deep-rooted. The wealthy family knew some inside stories, but they still didn't want to have too much contact with her. , it can be seen.
He raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows: "If the female ghost is to be eliminated, the Imperial Preceptor's Office must also be eliminated. If we continue to slander her, in a few decades, our efforts will be in vain."
Seeing his furrowed brows, his face full of fatigue, moved and distressed, she stepped forward and stepped forward.
Hearing the sound, Ji Yun raised his head, his expression suddenly softened: "Here he comes."
Jiao Jiao showed a big smile and asked in a natural tone: "Has the time for the expedition been set?"
"Seven days later." Looking at her deliberately raised smile, Ji Yun's lips were a little heavy. "We are running out of time. We have to march quickly to arrive at Lanwuxian before the Xirong army."
Jiao Jiao was silent and said: "In the past few days, we will pick out some light cavalry first. Two thousand will be enough. The Lanwu Stream is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is enough to stop the armies of the two countries."
After a pause, she continued: "I have been thinking about a question these days. The female ghost needs to use the death energy to heal her injuries. It may not be limited to Kuocang Mountain. Only dead people have death energy."
Ji Yun and Pei Zheng were shocked at the same time. If this was true, it wouldn't make any difference whether they stopped him or not.
What's more, the army that Yao Han went to stop would also contribute to the healing of the female ghost.
This is a dead end. No matter whether we send troops or not, we can't stop the female ghost from using her death energy to heal her injuries.
After a moment of silence, Ji Yun said: "Kuocang Mountain is her home base, and leading the army to Kuocang Mountain is her first choice. It must be the most beneficial place for her, so we must send troops to stop it."
"It makes sense!" Jiao Jiao nodded, and then suggested, "Lanwujian is dangerous, so the number of soldiers should be cut in half."
Ji Yun wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it he agreed.
Pei Zheng said quietly: "Don't block the whole road, let a small part go to Kuocang Mountain."
Jiao Jiao and Ji Yun were shocked, and Xuan Er understood his intention.
The second year of Zhaowen was a year of great impact to the people of the Eastern Continent.
Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Emperor Zhaowen announced to the world that the invincible generalissimo and newly named Princess Zhaoyue last year was actually the reincarnation of Princess Xiyue.
The people of Yaohan, immersed in the joy of victory, turned from joy to sorrow, shrouded in the fear of national subjugation.
The people in Shangjing even sold their houses and land and prepared to flee with their families. Unexpectedly, a few days later, the third princess led an army to go on an expedition again and left Shangjing.
Not long after the army set off, the three princesses led two thousand elite troops to travel thousands of miles and stopped the Xirong army of nearly 500,000 people at Lanwu Stream in early September.
The Three Kingdoms were in an uproar.
Later, after the arrival of Yao Han's large army, she dragged the armies of Funan and Xirong into the Lanwu Stream with a force that was ten times weaker than the opponent's. Only the 50,000 troops behind Funan took a detour and reached Kuocang Mountain.
After that, there was no news from the 50,000-strong army.
Some people were curious and went to Kuocang Mountain to check it out, but never returned.
After receiving this news, the soldiers of Xirong and Funan in Lanwuxian mutinied and demanded an explanation from the general. Some of the radical ones even surrendered to Yao Han, and Lanwuxian called a truce.
All forces sent dead soldiers to Kuocang Mountain one after another. After killing batch after batch of people, a young man with a tough life finally came out alive.
According to him, from the small town at the foot of Kuocang Mountain to the foot of the mountain, within a radius of ten miles, there were densely packed corpses. The sky was filled with rotting corpses, white bones, and flies. There was not a single living thing as far as the eye could see.
As soon as this news came out, the whole world was shocked!
It was almost certain that the Imperial Preceptor was a female ghost. The prestige of the Imperial Preceptor plummeted, and people from all over the country were angry and smashed the Imperial Preceptor's office.
In the winter of the same year, under the instruction of Emperor Zhaowen Ji Yun, more than a dozen large cities across the country sent troops one after another to besiege the local Guoshifu, which kicked off the overthrow of the Guoshifu's rule over the world.
In the middle of the year, wealthy families from all over the country came forward one after another and led ordinary people to attack the Imperial Prefecture.
