38. Chapter 38
"No wonder the general said he had seen me many years ago on the day of pilgrimage to my country." Thinking of what Xi Chen said at the palace banquet, Zi Ni believed in You Xiao's words.
"It is said that the general only brought a few henchmen with him when he went to Dongliu Kingdom that time, and he planned to sneak into the temple and secretly kidnap you and take you away. However, after he went, he found that your people had great respect for the temple and the holy woman, and that there were heavy guards outside the temple, so it was impossible for a few of them to take you away. So the general had no choice but to return and re-plan. ”
"I'd rather be captured that time than Dongliu be destroyed and the temple destroyed." Zi Ni's face was sad, it turned out that she was the cause of Dongliu's demise, how sad this was.
"Don't blame yourself, saint. In fact, Jin Yao's intention to annex Dongliu has long been there, but he has been suffering from the defense line on the border and cannot easily break through. And the general is good at using soldiers, so he reached an agreement with Jin Yao in private. Jin Yao changed the strategy of the attack according to the general's deployment, broke through the 300,000 troops on the Dongliu border in one fell swoop, and smashed the capital. And what the general wants is for them to ensure the safety of the saint and deliver the saint to the general. ”
"What they didn't expect was that there was a secret passage in the temple, and the elder opened this secret passage when Jin Yao's army came to kill me, allowing me to escape." Zini obviously didn't want to recall that scene, in the firelight, the sounds of fighting and screaming continued, and there was a shocking red everywhere. Her always straight back was no longer able to straighten at this time, she leaned lightly on the back of the chair, her eyes closed, and she held back the tears that were about to flow, "So many people died because of me, but I am here to be the general's medicine man." I'm a thief! ”
"Holy Maiden!" You Xiao saw Zini's mood swings, and walked straight over to hold her hand, "I know that this fact is very cruel to you, so the general has been hiding it." Now that you know the truth, I hope you can forgive the general. In fact, he just clicked Jin Yao and fulfilled Jin Yao's ambition. He did it all for Qingdai. On that day, Jin Yao occupied the capital of Dongliu, and there was no trace of you, and when the news came, the general was also very sad. If I could find you at that time, Qingdai would have suffered for a few fewer years, and you wouldn't have been hiding in the mountains and forests for several years. No matter how you say it now, you are also a general's person, and the past is written off! ”
"Forgiveness? A write-off? Zi Ni muttered, her voice without a trace of emotion, "Yes, he is for Qing Dai, this emotion is heavenly." However, it was at the expense of the national fortunes of our Dongliu country, the names of millions of innocent people and soldiers. How can I be forgiven? How to write off? ”
"Holy Maiden, you should understand that even without the help of the general, Jin Yao will annex Dongliu sooner or later. King Dongliu is old and incompetent, if it weren't for the hard support of the border army, I'm afraid Dongliu would have been taken by Jin Yao a long time ago. ”
"Yes, Jin Yao's wolf ambition is well known to the world, but even if Dongliu is destroyed because of the war, it has nothing to do with me. Now I know that it was I who hastened the demise of Dongliu, and I was the culprit of the disaster to the country and the people, but I never knew it, and I lived in the general's mansion stupidly, and was willing to be his medicine man, although he never looked at me more. Zini's expression was a little dazed.
"Holy Maiden! You really shouldn't take all the blame on yourself, so why bother so much? You Xiao sighed.
