Reborn as a legitimate daughter, huh? Why is she different from her previous life?

The cautiousness in his eyes and the hope that seemed to be shattered at any moment made the old man pause, but he quickly nodded and said, "Yes."

"That's great!" Liu Zhenyuan cried with joy. The iron-blooded general who never uttered a word on the battlefield no matter how much blood he shed or how many injuries he suffered, now cried like a child with a trembling voice.

"Save you, save my daughter. I will agree to whatever you ask. Even if you want me to die right now, I am willing to do it!"

The old man helped him up with a gentle push. It was obvious that the old man's martial arts was better than his and his internal strength was so strong!

The old man told him that Xiao Qingshuang was frightened, then he took out a piece of fragrant wood from his arms and asked him to carve Xiao Qingshuang's birth date and time on it, and then carve her zodiac sign and place it next to the pillow.

The wooden sign must be worn until the age of twelve and then taken off. After the age of twelve, such things will no longer happen.

Liu Zhenyuan was stunned. He didn't expect that the old man in front of him who said he could save his daughter would have such ridiculous methods to save his daughter.

The reason why he had sought out those Taoist priests and fortune-tellers before was simply because he was desperate, but he knew deep down that this was deceiving himself, and he had never believed in these supernatural things.

But this man who kept saying he could save his daughter was still talking about mysterious things. Liu Zhenyuan asked again with a complicated expression, "Is what you said true, senior? Can you really save my daughter with just this piece of...wood?"

How could a general who had been fighting in wars all year round actually believe that gods and ghosts really existed in this world?

Liu Zhenyuan was numb, and Ya Ma was stunned.

Seeing his expression, the old man didn't say much, but just nodded and said: "If you believe it, try my method. If you don't believe it, I won't force you."

"I just felt sorry for such a little girl who lost her life, so I felt compassion for her. It's up to you whether you want to save her or not."

After saying this, the old man left the general's mansion as if he were in an empty place.

When Liu Zhenyuan called his confidant in to investigate the identity of the old man, the confidant asked in confusion: "General, no outsiders have entered the mansion at all..."

Liu Zhenyuan was shocked again, but he believed the old man's words a little. It seemed that the old man must have a mysterious origin, and his confidant had been guarding outside the door, and he didn't even notice that the other party had entered the house.

Later, he called the gatekeeper and servants to ask again, and found that no one, except him, had seen the old man, and had not noticed anyone breaking into the general's mansion.

Liu Zhenyuan stroked the piece of fragrant wood in his hand, with a light flickering in his eyes. After asking everyone to leave, he picked up a dagger and started carving on the wood.

With this wooden sign, Xiao Qingshuang got better day by day. Liu Zhenyuan marveled that there were such extraordinary people in the world, and sent people to search for the old man's whereabouts throughout the four countries.

But they didn't find any information about the old man, but they did find information about the fragrant spirit wood in the Western Zhou Kingdom.

……

Back to when Liu Zhenyuan saw the small wooden sign in He Lin's hand, he forcefully controlled his wildly beating heart, and sneered with a calm expression.

"Oh, since when can you bring a piece of broken wood to this general as a token of trust?!" After he finished speaking, his eyebrows were stern, "Do you think this general has become senile and confused?"

A look of surprise flashed across He Lin's eyes, and he subconsciously glanced in the direction of Zheng Changyi. Although his movements were quick, they were all seen by Liu Zhenyuan who had been staring at his expression.

Zheng Changyi was also stunned for a moment after hearing what Liu Zhenyuan said. They had sent someone to steal, ahem, obtain this token from Liu Qingshuang in the Taifu Mansion with great difficulty.

How could it be fake?!

Not all the people living in Fengdu City knew that Liu Qingshuang contracted a strange disease when she was a baby and almost died shortly after birth.

At that time, in order to save his little girl, Liu Zhenyuan almost invited all the doctors in Fengdu City to come to him, not to mention that he also made a big fuss to search for people who knew Taoism.

Later, Liu Qingshuang got better inexplicably. The Northern Phoenix Emperor, oh no, the Northern Phoenix Emperor Feng Qixin specially summoned Liu Zhenyuan into the palace. Feng Qixin was also very interested in the method of bringing the dead back to life.

Although Liu Zhenyuan didn't want to reveal the strange thing that happened to his daughter to outsiders, he still told Feng Qixin about it. The crime of deceiving the emperor is no joke.

He also saw that although Feng Qixin said that if it was inconvenient to disclose it, then forget it, but the cold light in his eyes told him that if it didn't go as Feng Qixin wanted, he would always find a way...

In order to avoid causing trouble to the people in the General's Mansion and the Grand Tutor's Mansion in the future, Liu Zhenyuan gritted his teeth and told them the whole story. After all, the "immortal" had never asked him to keep a secret.

However, what he and Feng Qixin didn't know was that Zheng Changyi, as Feng Qixin's confidant at the time, had his own spies in the palace, who were hiding outside the imperial study and heard the secret clearly, which was not sure whether it could be considered a secret or not, and then turned around and told the news to Zheng Changyi.

What Liu Zhenyuan still doesn't know is that Feng Qixin started to have different thoughts about immortality after hearing what he said about this bizarre incident.

This led to a wolf entering the house and eventually a tragic death.

Therefore, the surprise in He Lin's eyes was because this thing was given to him by Zheng Changyi after he arrived here. Zheng Changyi thought that He Lin was sent by Feng Qixin to help him complete the task.

The task Feng Qixin gave him was to keep Liu Zhenyuan's life at the border at all costs, no matter what means!

But Zheng Changyi had not dared to make any unnecessary moves since he followed Liu Zhenyuan to the border. He knew that Liu Zhenyuan had never been at ease with him, and this border was Liu Zhenyuan's base camp.

Therefore, Zheng Changyi did not dare to make any unnecessary moves and could only follow Liu Zhenyuan obediently for the time being, thinking of keeping a low profile to gain Liu Zhenyuan's trust before giving him a fatal blow.

After waiting and waiting, until He Lin showed up, Zheng Changyi's eyes finally lit up. Isn't this the emperor sending him a good assistant?

He knew He Lin. He used to be an insignificant official under the Second Prince, working behind Dong Jinghui. However, he had no impressive political achievements, so he was not reused.

However, ever since the background of the Second Prince Feng Yuxuan was revealed, Feng Qixin slowly withdrew all the support he had secretly given him, such as himself, the General Zhennan, the Minister of Revenue Tan Youhe, and the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guard Pang Yue.

It seems that since this inconspicuous He Lin is also from the lineage of the former Second Prince, and since the Second Prince's identity is fake, Your Majesty should have taken him back into his hands!
