Chapter XXVII

Murong Jin and Hongxing had been silently following Jin Xi and the three of them not far away, keeping a certain distance, hesitating whether to advance or retreat. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Hongxing, do you think Jin Xi will commit suicide?" Murong Jin's tone was ethereal, as if he was talking to himself.

"Suicide?" Hongxing opened her eyes in surprise, thinking about the various situations at the banquet in her mind, and said softly while thinking, "The slave always feels that as long as a person has expectations in his heart, he will not go to a dead end. ”

"Hongxing, you've been waiting behind me at the celebration banquet, haven't you seen it clearly?"

Murong Jin was referring to the blow that Qi Guojun dealt to Jin Xi, as well as the pain and despair of Jin Xi's illusions when they were shattered, which she still vividly remembers.

"Back to the princess, the slave maid has seen it clearly," Hongxing nodded solemnly, pursed her mouth, "I'm just thinking that if a person has the heart to die for the country but is unwilling to die so innocently, will there be any other choice when there is no way to retreat?" ”

Murong Jin stopped abruptly and turned his head to stare at Hongxing—instantly thinking of Murong Hui's speculation about Jin Xi......

However, the situation of "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes" did not happen, at that time, the monarch and Jin Xi were close at hand, only one step away, and it was not difficult for Jin Xi to hold Fu Mu hostage, but why didn't he do it? Could it be that he himself thinks this is "useless"? But Hong Xing's words made Murong Jin feel that what he saw was only the surface, the appearance of an object that was already hot and swollen but had not yet burst? Jin Xi, there must be other "actions"!

Murong Jin's bright eyes flickered brightly and darkly, occasionally shining, and he could see that Hongxing's heart was hairy:

"Princess, you, what's wrong with you, looking at the slave and maid like this, did the slave and maid say something wrong?"

"No," Murong Jin smiled slightly, the confusion and confusion on his face before faded away, "I just figured out something, go Hongxing, let's follow......"

Until he walked to a place, Jin Xi suddenly stopped, and subconsciously turned sideways to look at the three words "Inviting Moon Palace" high above, thoughtfully, as if waiting.

"General Jin!" Murong Jin greeted softly.

Sure enough, it was Murong Jin who Jin Xi was waiting for, and when he heard the voice, he turned around and said:

"I'll thank the princess for breaking the siege."

"You came here and stopped to tell me this?" Murong Jin asked casually.

"Yes." Jin Xi replied without thinking.

"The general doesn't have to say thank you," the heroic spirit between Murong Jin's eyebrows was revealed in his words, "I am also entrusted by others, and I am loyal to people, of course, I don't want to watch you jump into the trap." ”

"I still want to thank the princess for taking risks twice......" Jin Xi slowly raised his head and met Murong Jin's eyes, and his heart was inexplicably nervous, so that he lowered his head again before he could say anything.

"If I hadn't stood up at the banquet today, I had deliberately diverted the topic," Murong Jin thought about it, and decided to ask, "Is General Jin really going to 'take an adventure'?" ”

Hearing this, Jin Xi raised his head in surprise, and went deep into the eyes of the pond, full of her beautiful and heroic face, this scene was so familiar to him.

"I won't do anything I'm not sure of," Jin Xi said in a turn, "The princess is worried."

"I hope I'm thinking too much, and I hope it's not just this time I'm 'thinking too much'." Murong Jinxing's eyes flashed slightly, staring at Jin Xi's face tightly, and he went straight into the words, giving people a silent sense of oppression.

Jin Xi found that the more nervous he was, the more he couldn't face Murong Jin calmly, which would instead create an intuition for the other party, which had nothing to do with right or wrong, so he decided to forget that he was the "chief horn child" ten years ago, and the unfamiliar identity would allow him to face her and deal with things with a new vision and mentality.

"Does the princess want me to promise anything?" Jin Xi stared at Murong Jin, neither welcoming nor compromising.

"I just want you to remember what you said." Murong Jin still didn't give up.

"I never forget." Jin Xi said what was in his heart with a pun, although Murong Jin couldn't hear the sound.

"That's good," Murong Jin nodded heavily, and turned to hold his breath and contemplate, "I have heard that General Jin is proficient in martial arts, and he is proficient in eighteen kinds of weapons, I have liked weapons since I was a child, especially archery, I don't know if I can ask for advice or two." ”

Jin Xi was stunned, she didn't expect Murong Jin to make such a request, she shouldn't be temporary, could it be that she wanted to approach him in this way, and then "frame" him?

"The princess has been injured in both arms, and although she has recovered, she still needs to pay attention to her arm strength not to be excessive—"

"How do you know I've had an arm injury?" Murong Jin's eyelashes twitched in surprise, and a trace of suspicion flashed across her beautiful face.

Jin Xi wasn't sure how to answer her, so he was silent, and Murong Jin was not reluctant, and said bluntly:

"I had an arm injury, but that was many years ago, and I was already well recovered, as long as I got it right, I shot arrows, danced swords, rode horses, and raised my whip...... Not a problem. Murong Jin said nonchalantly.

Jin Xi knew that he couldn't push it off today, so he had to take expedient measures: "Princess, can this matter be discussed again in the future, I really have no time and no mood recently." ”

"General Jin agreed first." Murong Jin raised her eyebrows, and her tone began to harden.

Jin Xi had no choice but to say respectfully: "Yes." ”

"Well, the general is leaving, so I won't be far away."

"Farewell."

In the Xingqing Palace, the ministers had dispersed, and Fu Mian left the crown prince Fu Hong.

"Hong'er, you say, is it too much for me to do this today?" Fu Yan only thought of Jin Xi's expression before, so he felt uneasy.

"Does Father Emperor mean General Li Wei or Jin Xi?" Fu Hong asked cautiously and tactfully.

"Of course it's Jin Xi," Fu Xuan turned his head to glare at Fu Hong, and said with a little dissatisfaction, "That Li Wei still respects him as a general!" Back then, he and the Queen Mother jointly designed to kill the emperor's brother at the celebration banquet, how many years did I endure this account! Today, I want to re-exert the love that I value will be blackmailed, how can I tolerate him! ”

Fu Hong's heart was shocked when he said every word like gold chewing iron: it turned out that his father had used this banquet to settle an old feud.

"In this way, my father is determined to reuse General Jin Xi." Fu Hong accompanied the left and right, and what he said was meaningful.

"It's also for you, Hong'er," Fu Mian looked lovingly at the heir she had high hopes for, "Jin Xi is a loyal and brave man who is rare to see in a hundred years, and I want to help you keep him and become your wing in the future." ”

"The person in the emperor's picture must not be wrong, but he is a Dajin person after all." The prince expressed the hidden worries in his heart.

"What happens if a person is unable to display his talents and is eventually abandoned by the court to which he is loyal, replaced by Hong'er?" Fu Xuan's inquiry, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Erchen can't answer," Fu Hong said after a moment of silence, "because if Erchen were captured, he would not stay in another country so peacefully, but—"

"Yes, Jin Xi did not choose to kill himself, which shows that he has a desire in his heart, and this is what we want to use," Fu Mian said appreciatively, "But we can't rush it now, but before that, we must let him see the situation clearly and make trade-offs, and then we can give him the opportunity to show his ambitions." ”

"Father is wise!" Fu Hong's eyebrows were happy and convincing.
