return to peace

Ji Fan waited for two months, but there was no news. He knew that there would be no news.In fact, he also knew that Chu Zetan was strange that day, but he really didn't want to give up any chance, even if he knew it was slim.

During this period, Chen Jingxuan came a few times, and Ji Fan couldn't remember what he said. He felt that he was isolated, and there was nothing but hopelessness in his heart.

He didn't drink too much anymore, he just had a normal meal and rest, but he suffered from insomnia all night, which made his body rapidly weaken.He realized this and wanted to recover his physical strength through martial arts.But when he picked up the commonly used gun, his hand was trembling slightly. The weapon that used to be easy and powerful now became a heavy burden. He tried to dance, but he had no internal strength, his movements were slow, and his wrists moved slowly. , the silver gun fell to the ground.

Ji Fan stared blankly at the silver gun on the ground, and it didn't move for a long time. The warm spring breeze rolled up the cherry blossom petals and landed on his hair, shoulders, and skirt, but he felt cold to the bone.

In the cherry blossom forest next to the teaching martial arts field, a young woman in Chinese clothes burst into tears.She saw everything, and the young man whose heart was as dazzling as the scorching sun changed to this appearance, which made her heart ache.She saw Ji Fan knelt down slowly, propped his hands on the ground, a drop of tear fell into the dust, he punched hard on the hard ground, blood dripped immediately.Xiao Yonghuan tightly covered his mouth with his hands, afraid that he would cry out.She couldn't bear to look any longer, and ran back staggeringly.

From that day on, Ji Fan locked himself in the room and ignored the outside world.On the third day, the door was opened, and light came in from the outside, illuminating the dim room.Ji Fan was sitting on the ground, leaning against the edge of the bed. His eyes, which had not been exposed to light for a long time, felt a little uncomfortable. He covered his eyes with his hands and squinted to look over. The figure behind the light could not be seen clearly for a while.The man closed the door and opened the windows, and the lifeless room finally became transparent again.

Only then did Ji Fan see clearly that it was a woman.Wearing a long plain dress with her hair tied back, she is an out-of-the-way woman.She turned around, with an oval face, bright and beautiful, Ji Fan felt a little familiar, but his mind is muddled now, and he couldn't figure out who it was.

"General Ji." The woman called softly, wanting to help Ji Fan.Ji Fan stood up first unsteadily, and asked, "Who are you?"

The woman's eyes darkened, and she replied: "General Ji forgot again. I am Xiao Yonghuan, the daughter of Prime Minister Xiao."

When she said this, Ji Fan remembered that he met her at the Cherry Blossom Festival a few years ago, and she told him that he had helped her at the birthday banquet, although he didn't remember much.She was covered, so he was a little vague about what she looked like.

"Miss Xiao?" But Ji Fan then remembered that Chen Jingxuan married Xiao Su's daughter, and his expression turned cold immediately: "I don't know why the Crown Princess is here?"

Xiao Yonghuan opened the food box he brought with him, and brought out pots of delicious dishes, all of which were Ji Fan's favorite flavors.Xiao Yonghuan smiled and motioned, Ji Fan didn't move, Xiao Yonghuan said: "Could it be that General Ji is afraid that Yong Huan will be poisoned?"

Hearing this, Ji Fan finally sat down.Xiao Yonghuan poured him a cup of hot tea, Ji Fan took it and thanked him.She intentionally ignored his hand whose blood had congealed into a dark scab, collected herself, and said, "General Ji, why don't you listen to His Highness and tell him the secret of Xiliang."

"I have nothing confidential to say."

"Your Highness said it, it doesn't matter if you don't say it. As long as you swear that you will never associate with Xiliang Guoshi again and help him capture the city of Xiliang, you will be a great general who will last forever." Xiao Yonghuan said while grabbing Ji Fan The hand under the table quickly stuffed something into his hand, Ji Fan was startled and looked up at her.

Xiao Yonghuan smiled slightly, dipped his hands in the water in the cup, and wrote two words "antidote" on the table, and Ji Fan's eyes lit up instantly.

"General Ji, my father is also aware of His Highness's promise. With my father's guarantee, you don't have to worry. But if you are stubborn, as His Highness said, he dare not guarantee your mother's safety."

Ji Fan clenched the things in his hands tightly. He knew that there were eyeliners watching outside, and he must not show any abnormalities. After a long silence, Fang said: "I need to think about it."

"Okay. Then Yong Huan has gone back, the general can talk to His Highness after he thinks about it."

Xiao Yonghuan got up and planned to go back, when she walked to the door, Ji Fan called her: "Miss Xiao."

She turned her head and saw the long-lost brilliance in his eyes.

"Thank you." Ji Fan said sincerely.

Xiao Yonghuan smiled: "Yong Huan and the general have known each other since they were young, and the general is kind to Yong Huan, so this explanation is nothing." After finishing speaking, she opened the door and walked out, feeling a little joy in her heart.Ji Fan was her only yearning in this life, for the first time he finally had her in his eyes, how could he not make her happy?The moment I grabbed his hand, even though I was already a married woman, I still couldn't stop my heartbeat.She secretly made up her mind to rescue Ji Fan.

After this day, Ji Fan's attitude really softened a lot. He took the initiative to find Chen Jingxuan and gave him a secret document, which contained what he saw and heard during his mission to Xiliang.

Chen Jingxuan, as if he had found a treasure, was very interested in the various systems and military weapons of Xiliang mentioned in it. He was wary of Ji Fan in his heart, but he had to admit that Ji Fan was a general, so he could see these superficial things. so deep.

After more than four months of house arrest, Ji Fan finally lived a somewhat normal life.He eats on time every day, reads books during the day, and sometimes Chen Jingxuan visits, and he answers whatever he asks, without the resentful and decadent spirit before.Although I still can't sleep well at night, it has greatly improved compared to before.

Ji Fan just fell asleep that day when he suddenly heard footsteps on the roof.He stood still and lay peacefully on the bed.After a while, shouts sounded outside, and there was a faint light of fire.He opened the door and saw the chaos outside. It seemed that a certain yard had caught fire. He walked quickly to see what was going on.Suddenly, a man who looked like a servant sprang out from the stabbing, and stabbed at him with a dagger in his hand. Ji Fan subconsciously wanted to hide, but suddenly a thought broke into his mind, making him stop abruptly. , the dagger penetrated into the shoulder, and the bone was visible deep.

The guards who came later took down the famous family Ding and hurriedly summoned the doctor.An hour later, Chen Jingxuan also rushed over.At that time, the doctor was bandaging Ji Fan, and Chen Jingxuan asked worriedly: "How is it?"

Due to excessive blood loss, Ji Fan's lips were slightly pale, he smiled: "It's okay."

"I will definitely interrogate you and vent my anger on you!"

Ji Fan nodded without saying anything. A few days later, Chen Jingxuan told him that the assassin was sent by another general, hoping to kill Ji Fan and replace him.Now, that general has been dismissed by him.

Ji Fan nodded to express his thanks.It's just that he knew in his heart that this was just a lie of Chen Jingxuan.At that time, although the assassin was very close to him and his speed was very fast, Ji Fan could actually dodge it.It was only at that moment that he suddenly thought whether this was a temptation, so he took the knife abruptly.As it turned out, he was right.

After that incident, although Ji Fan was still under house arrest in the mansion, the strength of his care was weakened a bit.
