Difficulty in deciphering

Zhao Minghe searched the entire Chi Country but couldn't find Xiao Qi, and fell into an unprecedented anxiety.It seems that the left hand or the right hand is missing, or more important parts.

"Before she left, what did she do and what did she say?"

Seeing Zhao Minghe's gloomy face all day long, Lin Jieyu made a pot of tea and poured it for her.

"She's not in a good mood recently." Zhao Minghe didn't have the mood to drink tea, but just frowned and stared at a certain place on the table. "I always feel that she wants to leave, but she doesn't say anything when I ask her again. Xieyu... Do you think I'm going back to Lingxi Valley... She always asks me when I will go back."

"If you want to go back, go back." Lin Jieyu sat beside Zhao Minghe and listened quietly. She didn't say anything, but just looked out the window. "I'll be with you."

She thought, maybe she knew where Xiao Qi had gone, but she couldn't tell Zhao Minghe.

Because...then maybe...

It's not a good thing for anyone.

At the end of spring, Chi Country was filled with loneliness. Lin Jieyu packed his bags and planned to go back with Zhao Minghe.Unexpectedly, Wu Lan came back at this time.

"Where is Master Yongran going?" Wu Lan stood in front of Zhao Minghe, her whole body was covered with a layer of golden sunlight.

"I have something to do, I have to leave Chi Country for a while." Zhao Minghe said.

"Ningsha Kingdom has already negotiated and agreed to assist our country in attacking the Pan Dynasty. Her Majesty Mingji is making rigorous preparations, and we will be able to act soon." Wu Lan said lightly. "Isn't it inappropriate for adults to go at this time?"

"I'll talk about everything when I come back." Zhao Minghe didn't feel moved after hearing this, but became even more anxious.

"Master Yongran, please don't go against His Majesty Mingji's will," Wu Lan said.

"Okay." Zhao Minghe smiled after hearing this, she said. "If His Majesty Ming Ji can't wait, let her generals go to the vanguard first. But if the time comes, if you lose your vitality, don't blame me for being unable to recover."

"Is there anything more important than Lord Yongran's revenge?"

"This has nothing to do with you."

Not wanting to say anything more to Wu Lan, Zhao Minghe picked up the burden and wanted to leave, but only listened to Wu Lan's words.

"Master Yongran."

Wu Lan continued to call her.

Zhao Minghe walked quickly without looking back.

He only heard Wu Lan say again.

"Your entourage is hanging on the city gate of Pan Country now, why don't you go and have a look before leaving?"

Lin Jieyu saw the layers of camouflage in Zhao Minghe's eyes dissipate in an instant, leaving an extremely hurt look.Before she could say anything, Zhao Minghe flew out like an arrow and ran straight towards the stable.Lin Jieyu unfolded his lightness kung fu and followed behind, only to find that the horses in the stable were gone, along with Zhao Minghe.

Zhao Minghe didn't know how to spend the days on the road, she only knew that there was an idea that kept her going.

That is Xiao Qi.

Rescue Xiao Qi.Zhao Minghe thought.

As long as Xiaoqi can be rescued, nothing else matters.After living in this world for decades, she has already lost so much, now... how can she afford to lose again? !

With this in mind, Zhao Minghe accelerated his trip to Panchao even more.It's just that she didn't eat or drink all the way, and finally fell off her horse in the outskirts of Panchao, and fell into a deep coma.

In a vague consciousness, she heard someone calling her.

"Minghe, Minghe, why are you here?" It was Xiao Qi's voice.

"Xiao Qi... are you alright?" Zhao Minghe opened his eyes, saw Xiao Qi standing in the sun, looking at him with some worry, and felt at ease.

"You are stupid, what can I do?" Xiao Qi squatted beside her and laughed. "Let's go back quickly, back to Ming Ji."

"Go back for what?"

"Revenge." Xiao Qi frowned, feeling that Zhao Minghe was stupid. "After avenging you, we will go back to Lingxi Valley with Xie Yu. The three of us will never be separated again."

"Don't take revenge, okay... Let's go back together... Let's go back now..." Zhao Minghe cried when he heard Xiao Qi's words.She wanted to reach out to grab Xiao Qi, but unexpectedly Xiao Qi stood up and said.

"Get up! If you are sick here, I will take care of you! Get up! You want to kill me!"

Zhao Minghe was so happy being reprimanded by her, he just wanted to stand up but woke up.All she saw was darkness, and she couldn't tell whether it was night or dawn, and there was no one else in the forest except herself.Zhao Minghe sat in the forest in a daze for a while, but suddenly couldn't restrain the huge fear deep in his heart, and burst into tears like a child.However, in the woods, the only response to her was the rustling of leaves blown by the wind.

When the sky was about to light up, Zhao Minghe finally came to the gate of Pan Chao, and saw... Xiao Qi.

In the morning light, Xiao Qi was hung on the high gate of the city, her head was bowed, her body was covered with dried blood, and was blown back and forth by the strong wind.Zhao Minghe only hated his eyes for being so good, even the scars on her body that were pecked by birds could be clearly seen.

All the light in the world seems to be swallowed up, from far to near, all converge on the city gate.She walked that way step by step, and she just spread out her lightness kung fu and flew onto her body, hugging Xiao Qi's body!

"Don't go there!" But just when Zhao Minghe was about to make a move, someone covered his mouth and dragged him away into the shadows.

"Don't worry, let me go." Zhao Minghe said softly, his eyes still focused on the city gate.

"If you go on like this, you will be arrested." Lin Jieyu held Zhao Minghe tightly in his arms, feeling that the man's body was extremely cold and still trembling uncontrollably.

"I told you to let me go!!!" Zhao Minghe suddenly began to struggle violently!Those excited words became fragmented under Lin Jieyu's palm covering her mouth.

"Hui Ye will catch you back!" Seeing that Zhao Minghe refused to obey, Lin Jieyu said.

"Hui Ye?" A word suddenly popped up in his blank mind, Zhao Minghe grasped the word and thought desperately. "Huiye will catch me back... That's right... Without Lin Huiye's order, who would hang Xiaoqi on the city gate? Except Lin Huiye...who has such good skills to kill Xiaoqi... It's Lin Huiye...it's Lin Huiye..."

"Minghe!"

"She not only took Lingxi away...she also killed Xiaoqi...she...destroyed everything about me...killed...killed Lin Huiye...killed Lin Huiye..."

"Follow me back to the inn first." Lin Jieyu noticed that Zhao Minghe was a little mentally disturbed, so he said.

"I don't want it, I want to take Xiaoqi back with me." Zhao Minghe said. "Maybe... maybe she's still alive...!"

Zhao Minghe just said this, and when Lin Jieyu let go, he was about to run towards the city gate, but Lin Jieyu grabbed the back collar and fell to the ground. She just wanted to get up, but Lin Jieyu used her knee Press firmly to the ground.

"You and I have killed countless people." Lin Jieyu stared into Zhao Minghe's eyes and said. "Whether she is dead or alive, you can tell at a glance, don't you?"

"I can't see her suffering like this!!! Why...why Lin Huiye still doesn't let her go when she is dead!!! Why!!!"

"Why." Lin Jieyu said. "You should understand."

"Haha...hahaha...Because of me...Because I'm going to be arrested..."

"Minghe, since you know she wants to arrest you, why don't you go?" Seeing Zhao Minghe's appearance, Lin Jieyu said softly.

"She wants to arrest me and go back, so I'll just go back." Zhao Minghe said. "I was right next to her...and then..."

"Kill her?"

Hearing Lin Jieyu's answer, Zhao Minghe remained silent.

"If you thought this way from the beginning, why did you go to Chi Country? If you did this from the beginning...Xiao Qi wouldn't have died."

Seeing that Zhao Minghe was still silent, Lin Jieyu continued.

"Let's not talk about whether you can avenge Lingxi. Do you think that as long as you stay by Lin Huiye's side, you can kill her? If you really kill her, it's just because of her love for you. Is this...really considered revenge? After all...do you still have to rely on Lin Huiye's love for you to accomplish anything?"

As if being gripped hard to the sore spot, Zhao Minghe's fingers were firmly pressed against the ground, his nails were separated from the flesh, and blood flowed out.

"I'll let you go now." Lin Jieyu said. "Whether you want to remove Xiao Qi's body or not is up to you."

After Lin Jieyu let go, Zhao Minghe lay on the ground for a while before standing up.She saw her staggering, still walking towards the city gate.That person's stubborn figure is just like when he was a child, as long as he makes up his mind, no one can stop him.

Just looking at Zhao Minghe's back, Lin Jieyu held the sword in his hand, thinking that as soon as Zhao Minghe went to snatch the corpse, she would cover behind her and ensure her safe return.

However, the expected thing didn't happen, Zhao Minghe fell to the ground just after taking two steps, and couldn't get up again.

Lin Jieyu carried Zhao Minghe back to the inn, and stayed by her side after settling down.Only when Zhao Minghe was sleeping like this, would she look at her face so carefully.

Nothing like it.

Lin Jieyu thought.

It's not the same as when I was young... at all...

When she was a child, she was more sunny and ordinary.

But...but she was very similar to her when she was a child.

When she was a child...she always liked to tie her hair up high and walk in front on a horse.

only……

What does it matter if it is different...

No matter what, I can't recognize her anymore...

After all... At that time, the shield and the memory were sealed together.

Looking at it like this, Lin Jieyu suddenly saw Zhao Minghe's slender brows tightly furrowed, and then tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes.She shrank into a small ball, trembling constantly.

"Minghe..."

Lin Jieyu called her, but couldn't wake her up.

She stretched out her hand, gently touched Zhao Minghe's hair, and said in a low voice.

"Still as weak as when I was a child...you are so afraid of the dark...so afraid of ghosts...so crying...these days...how did you get here? How did you become that general who despises the court...and fights everywhere Woolen cloth……"

As if hearing Lin Jieyu's words, Zhao Minghe's tears flowed more violently.

Lin Jieyu bent down with some distress, hugged Zhao Minghe in his arms, and said softly.

"But don't worry, I'm back, and I will protect you."

In the dark night, the warm color of the glazed shield spread from Lin Jieyu's fingertips, surrounded the small room, and protected the two of them in the center.Zhao Minghe only felt a light shining in from his dream, breaking up those sad memories. She, who hadn't slept peacefully for a long time, finally fell asleep with peace of mind.
