Chapter 456: Past and Present Lives
The sunset, which dyes the sky red like fire, is finally replaced by a quiet and charming night when the moon falls and the stars fill the sky.
And because of Zhou Xianyu's order, in front of the open tent of the Beijing military camp now, a fire is burning in the open air, and the cauldron of beef and mutton is boiling, and the milky white broth is boiling, overflowing with bursts of rich fragrance that arouses people's appetite.
Although all the generals in the Beijing military camp knew very well that in the past, some of the brothers sitting next to them were likely to die in battle and would never be able to get together again.
Therefore, although they can't drink alcohol because they will march into Beijing tomorrow, everyone still eats meat and spreads laughter for several miles, enjoying the brotherly righteousness of this moment.
And Zhou Xianyu, who ordered all the soldiers to gather together tonight, inspired everyone to speak in public. And with the hand, also cut after eating a few bites of beef.
Now he left the Beijing military camp station, but under the charming moonlight and the reflection of the bright stars in the sky, he led a white war horse and walked slowly towards the sea of golden orchids where he liked to sit quietly.
It seemed that he was enjoying the tranquility of this moment very much, and he saw that Zhou Xianyu couldn't help but spread his arms, and he looked up and smiled evilly at the corners of his mouth, and he exhaled deeply.
Then I saw Zhou Xianyu turn his head to look at the horse's back again, and then a trace of **drowning flashed in his eyes, but he said reproachfully in his mouth:
"Xuan'er, your injuries are not healed now, you should rest earlier. As for the words that you say about revenge and rebirth when you are confused, I can actually see that you are hesitant to say it. If you really haven't made up your mind, I don't necessarily know, and I don't want to force Jinxuan to do anything you don't like, so let's go back directly. ”
As Zhou Xianyu said, Xiao Jinxuan, who was sitting on horseback, did frown, and still couldn't make up her mind whether to tell the other party about her resurrection.
After all, who is it, this kind of unbelievable, and it is likely to be regarded as a different thing by others, if you want to open your heart and explain it, it not only requires great determination, but also has to muster up courage to say it.
Because the more she loves Zhou Xianyu, the more Xiao Jinxuan cares about how the other party sees her.
Even if she really believed that Zhou Xianyu's intentions for her were true, but whether a person like her, who had been a ghost, could be accepted by the other party, Xiao Jinxuan's heart was still very powerful.
But when Zhou Xianyu's words of such accommodation and understanding came out, it gave Xiao Jinxuan the courage to tell the truth.
After all, Xiao Jinxuan's character is not someone who likes to hide, and if she doesn't tell the truth, there is no way for Zhou Xianyu to know why she forced the other party away from her side again and again.
Only to talk about it, whether to go or stay, Xiao Jinxuan decided to ask Zhou Xianyu to make his own decisions.
And no matter what the result is, she feels that for each other, it will be a relief after all, and there will be no concealment and estrangement.
So seeing that the sea of golden orchids whose flowers had withered one after another arrived, Xiao Jinxuan motioned to Zhou Xianyu to help her dismount.
When the two of them came to the raised and smooth boulder between the flowers again, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but sit down on her knees, and then said with a smile:
"Do you know why I have to come here, even if the golden orchid here has withered now, but this is the place where you talked to me for a long time before you set out on the expedition. Only by coming here did I have the courage to tell you everything. ”
Looking at Xiao Jinxuan in front of him, gradually with a sad and lonely face, Zhou Xianyu did not interrupt the other party, but silently became a listener at this moment.
And Xiao Jinxuan, who was watching this, let go of her hands after clenching her fists slightly, letting go and then clenching her hands again.
After going back and forth several times, she finally made up her mind with difficulty, and looked at the Xuanyue hanging high in the sky, and said in an ethereal voice:
"Xianyu, do you believe in the past and present lives, reincarnation?"
Although Zhou Xianyu is the prince, he has long been accustomed to life and death after fighting on the battlefield all year round, so after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help but chuckle and said:
"Jinxuan, the reincarnation of ghosts and gods is too ethereal after all. Anyway, after so many years of fighting on the battlefield, there are not a few enemy soldiers who have died under me. But I haven't seen those ghosts and ghosts once, so I don't believe in these things. ”
Zhou Xianyu's answer was actually expected by Xiao Jinxuan, after all, the other party was a fierce general on the battlefield, and he was a handsome general, so he naturally would not be afraid of any ghosts and gods.
But after Xiao Jinxuan sighed slightly, she couldn't help but turn her head and stare deeply into Zhou Xianyu's eyes, and then said calmly:
"Xianyu, do you know that I, Xiao Jinxuan, used to be a ghost, and that feeling when I turned into a ball of light after death, even if so much time has passed, I will never be able to forget it."
As soon as he heard this, Zhou Xianyu's still lazy expression changed, but before he could speak, Xiao Jinxuan motioned to the other party to continue listening.
"Listen to me to finish speaking, otherwise I'm really afraid that after being interrupted by you, I won't have the courage to continue."
After saying this, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, and felt that Zhou Xianyu would hold her hand tightly, and the warm feeling coming from the other party's palm couldn't help but bring her great courage again.
"Xianyu, not only have I been a ghost, but because my death may be too unworthy and miserable, God has given me a chance to be reborn, so I can be said to be a human being in two lives. And if you look back now, you may realize that when I was in Yangzhou, I was on the same page as that season Lingfeng, and the reason why I was like this was not just because I wanted to help King Rui and you. The main reason is because in the previous life, Ling Feng was the champion first, and then became the king of Ling. And I was the wife who had been with him for many years, but in the end, when he gained power, he married Xiao Jinyu into the house. Abandoning me like duckweed, not to mention, even cruelly forced me to death under his sword. ”
Xiao Jinxuan said this, tears flowed uncontrollably, after all, she was a human being in two lives, and no one sympathized with everything she suffered in her previous life, let alone anyone to help her.
And in this life, she hated the sea and was reborn, turned into a ghost and was able to return to the yang world, which is the biggest secret in her heart.
Xiao Jinxuan didn't dare to tell anyone that even if she was riddled with nightmares every night, she could only choose to bear the pain alone and not reveal a single thing.
And now she has finally poured out everything that has accumulated in her heart without reservation, and this pain has been released, so Xiao Jinxuan's tears are a kind of catharsis, and it is also a manifestation of relief.
But I have to say that Xiao Jinxuan's words are indeed too incredible.
Even if he was already a little prepared, Zhou Xianyu, who knew that the other party would inevitably say something very different tonight, couldn't help but be stunned and shocked in the end.
"Jinxuan, what do you mean, are you saying that you are a person who has lived once, and you married Ji Lingfeng to be the other party's wife, and then died in his hands. Xuan'er, do you feel any discomfort from the wound on the back of your head, after all, Uncle Ding has already healed the fifth brother safely, and now he is fine, or I will take you to see him. ”
As soon as she heard Zhou Xianyu's words, Xiao Jinxuan knew that the other party thought that she was sick again and had confusion, so she said this.
Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan, who had already been out of the way and did not intend to have anything to hide, couldn't help but look at Zhou Xianyu with serious eyes, and then said very seriously:
"You look into my eyes, I'm in a clear head now, and I know better what I'm talking about. I was indeed killed by Xiao Jinyu, and then I was killed by Ji Lingfeng with a sword. And when I became a ghost, I was fortunate enough to meet a mysterious being who was willing to help me, and I didn't know if he was a god or a ghost. But it was with his help that I was reborn back to the age when I was twelve years old in Meizhuang, and my fate began to change at that moment. All of this is true, don't question anything. ”
Xiao Jinxuan's clear eyes and calm speed of speech made Zhou Xianyu have to believe that the other party is not unconscious and talking nonsense.
And after listening to Xiao Jinxuan's words now, Zhou Xianyu, who still showed that he didn't believe it, suddenly fell silent.
Because since Xiao Jinxuan's identity was determined in Yangzhou, Zhou Xianyu, who would take the other party very seriously, was naturally curious about everything about Xiao Jinxuan, and also investigated it privately.
And the result of that meeting, Zhou Xianyu remembered that he was indeed unbelievable for a long time.
Because when he investigated, he found out that Xiao Jinxuan had been bullied and trampled on for the past twelve years, and Xiao Fu ignored her, a young lady.
But Zhou Xianyu, who was at that meeting, first saw how Xiao Jinxuan cleaned up with his own eyes in Meishan, and tried to make Xiao Jinfu bad to her, and directly disfigured the other party.
Then Zhou Xianyu unintentionally hid in Xiao Jinxuan's carriage, and then he saw the other party once, how witty he was to deal with those soldiers, and finally helped him escape the catastrophe.
The heart is ruthless, and he is very good at planning, which is Zhou Xianyu's most intuitive view of Xiao Jinxuan at that time.
Therefore, he just couldn't figure it out at that time, as far as Xiao Jinxuan's character was concerned. Zhou Xianyu really couldn't understand how the other party could be bullied and beaten by his subordinates above Meizhuang, and he didn't resist, he felt that something was wrong at that time.
But now that he heard that the other party actually said that he was reborn back to the age of twelve, Zhou Xianyu couldn't help but suddenly think that when he met Xiao Jinxuan, the other party was not at this age.
Therefore, after Zhou Xianyu coughed lightly to relieve the tension, he said with a hint of tentativeness:
"Jinxuan, in fact, I know everything about your past. You used to be bullied but didn't know how to resist, and when I met you, Xuan'er was not at the mercy of others. The contrast is so great, and when I first met you, you were twelve years old. Could it be that what I saw at the time was that after being born again, your temperament changed drastically, right? ”
Hearing the anxiety in Zhou Xianyu's voice, Xiao Jinxuan was not worried, but since the words had already been spoken.
There was no turning back arrow when he opened the bow, and he immediately saw Xiao Jinxuan's eyes closed, so he nodded, which was regarded as acquiescing to Zhou Xianyu's speculation.
And it was almost as soon as she admitted it, because she didn't know how to face Zhou Xianyu, Xiao Jinxuan closed her eyes tightly.
She immediately felt Zhou Xian Yucai holding her hand, but it suddenly let go silently.
