The night was already very deep, Xue Jinyan hadn't slept yet, didn't hold the weapon, sat at the table, watched the wick burn, and became longer, and only when the light was about to disappear did she pick up scissors and cut off a small piece of excess cotton core.

Hearing the door open, she turned her head to look at it, embarrassed by the mistake of breaking in with a knife before, but she wouldn't apologize, and she didn't want to apologize.

Xu Ji just came back, and was stared at by his wife a little weak, "You haven't slept yet?" ”

"Hmm."

"Rest, it's getting late."

"Hmm." Xue Jin didn't move.

Xu Ji wanted to say something, but felt redundant, so he walked to the bed, he had to sleep as soon as possible, there were still many things to deal with tomorrow morning.

"Can the Descendant Army really repel officers and soldiers?" Xue Jinyan asked, in her eyes, all the rebels are incarnate armies, regardless of their origin.

"Yes." Xu Ji said categorically, sitting on the edge of the bed, ready to take off his boots.

"I have a sense of foreboding."

"Oh?" Xu Ji really couldn't arouse his interest.

"You're going to lose the Eastern Capital."

"Really? Did you foresee what I would get? Xu Ji had finished washing in another room, took off his coat, and lay down on his back.

"Nothing."

"Hehe, then I can have a little bit of leisure." Xu Ji closed his eyes.

Xue Jinyan didn't make a sound again, but Xu Ji didn't sleep badly, opened his eyes, and saw that his wife was already standing by the bed, looking down at him.

"Do you have something to say?" Xu Ji was completely sleepy.

Xue Jin shook his head, "I have nothing to say, I just want to see you." ”

"What do I have to see? You see me every day. Xu Ji smiled, looking from the bottom up, Xue Jinyao was even taller, making him feel like an adopted monkey.

"Not only will you lose the Eastern Capital, but you will also lose everything, including me, we won't be together for long."

"You're leaving? Go back to Qinzhou? We're probably on the same page. ”

Xue Jinyan's face showed a hint of irritability, "I don't know, I didn't foresee it clearly enough." ”

Xu Ji sat up and said: "This may not be a foresight, Maitreya is just a revelation for you, you perceive something, feel uneasy, but you don't understand the reason, so you feel that you foresee a bad future." Like what...... The Incarnation King, you said that you foresaw the Bloodlight Plague, and it did happen, but it may have been just what you saw and heard after entering the city that made you wary of it, thinking that the Incarnation King could not cope with such a situation. ”

Xue Jinyan slowly sat down on the edge of the bed and thought for a long time, "What you said makes some sense, because whenever I foresee something, I always want to change it instead of accepting it." Sometimes...... Sometimes I can really change the 'future' if I'm willing to be a part of it. I also wanted to interfere with my father's death, but I just got it in the wrong direction. ”

Xu Ji nodded, "That's what it means." Rest, I won't have nothing, and you won't leave and go back to Qinzhou alone. ”

Xu Ji yawned and lay down again, this time undisturbed, and soon fell into a deep sleep until he was put to sleep by a violent shaking.

It was pitch black in front of him, it was not yet dawn outside, Xue Jinyan was still sitting on the edge of the bed, but he was covered in cold, and he had obviously gone out.

"What's wrong?" Xu Ji's head was groggy, and he really didn't want to open his eyes.

"I've checked."

"What have you looked up?" Xu Ji said weakly.

"I hope I can help you, so go check what you're doing."

Xu Ji smiled bitterly: "You can ask me directly." ”

"You won't tell me the truth, you won't tell the truth to anyone."

Xu Ji laughed twice, but he couldn't refute it.

"Feng Juniang has returned."

Xu Ji suddenly sobered up and sat up, "So fast? ”

"Hmm. You want to kill Ning Bang'er, right? ”

"You...... How did you have such an idea? ”

"Everyone knows: King Wu wants to kill King Ning, and King Ning also wants to kill King Wu. King Wu is more wise, King Ning is more powerful, everyone is very curious, this time is to win outwitted, or to win. ”

Hearing Xue Jinyan say such words, Xu Ji couldn't help but laugh, "You foresaw that I would have 'nothing', so you think in your heart that I am not King Ning's opponent?" ”

"You're no match for him." Xue Jinyan was blunt.

"Then I'm going to have to fight him even more."

"Your schemes are useless."

"What schemes?"

Xue Jin paused for a moment, "What did you ask Feng Juniang to say to Niu Tiannu?" ”

"Didn't Feng Juniang tell you?"

"She refused to disclose it, saying that you had given her a strict order not to leak her secrets."

Xu Ji was more satisfied with Feng Juniang, "Actually, it's nothing, the King of Jin will use a divisive scheme, saying that I want to assassinate King Ning, so I have to remind King Ning that King Jin has bad intentions, and he wants to lead officers and soldiers into the city and cut down the righteous army." ”

"Since it's to remind King Ning, why are you looking for Niu Tiannu?"

"Because—" Xu Ji adjusted his sitting posture to make himself more comfortable, "Niu Tiannu is the one who calls the shots, and I can't defeat King Ning without her." ”

"Really? When Ning Bao'er left the Descending Army, she didn't take Niu Tiannu with her. ”

"That's because the incarnation king is jealous of the virtuous ......" The words were spoken, and Xu Ji remembered that his wife was the daughter of the incarnation king.

"Then you say, my father is indeed such a man."

"Ning Baoguan stayed in the incarnation army, and sooner or later he would be in danger, so he won a king title and led the troops to stand on his own. There are many soldiers in the world, and it is a very powerful help, so Niu Tiannu stayed. Niu Tiannu has been giving her husband special generals, including captured officers and soldiers, as well as the leader of the incarnation king, there are not many of them, but they are all reused here in Ningbaoguan. ”

"Well, Niu Tiannu did often send people to Ning Bao'er's side, and at that time we laughed at her for being too soft on her husband."

"So I want to win the trust of Niu Tiannu, only she can help me defeat Ning Baoguan."

"That's it?"

"That's it."

Xue Jin sat in the dark and thought, and after a while, he spoke: "What I see is that you are defeated. ”

"Is there a reason?" Xu Ji asked with a smile.

"You...... There's too much stratagem. ”

"What's wrong with having a lot of scheming? I'm not going to cross the horse with a gun and challenge Ning Baoguan in person, right? ”

Xue Jinyan refused to answer, and changed his words: "Just now, a group of descendant soldiers came, kneeling outside the camp gate and begging for mercy, and I sent them away. ”

"Oh, it's a bunch of drunks, probably sobered up from drinking."

"I know you look down on the ...... of the Incarnation"

"On the contrary, I care very much about the Descending Army, everything I have done after entering the Eastern Capital is to get the support of the Descending Army, for me, the Descending Army is more important than the Eastern Capital."

"But those schemes of yours will only make the Descending Army farther and farther away from you, because they can't understand it, and everyone supports Ning Bao'er more."

Xu Ji was silent for a while, "Until the end, the outcome is unpredictable." ”

Xue Jin shook his sigh lightly, "Take your people and go to Qinzhou with me." I can call at least half of the descending army, and leave the rest to Ning Bao'er, don't fight with him. ”

"Just because you 'foresaw' that I couldn't compete with him?"

"I have carefully inquired with the mage, and it is likely that the previous riot in the kings' camp was secretly instigated by Ning Bao'er, who refused to publicly avenge my father, but wanted to use this matter to eradicate dissidents."

"I remember that there were also mutinies in the Ning military camp, and Ning Baoguan killed the most people."

"He kills whoever he wants to kill, whether he participates in the mutiny or not."

"I'm not surprised at all." Xu Jidao.

Xue Jin was silent for a while, and finally said the answer she had been looking for, "You are not as ruthless as him." ”

"The time has not yet come."

"No, no, there is no time when there is no time, ruthlessness is a character, either there is, it can be revealed all the time, and it can't be hidden, or no, it is reluctant to be ruthless, and it will also make people feel awkward."

"Okay, I'm not ruthless enough, but the two kings are fighting each other, and it's not who is more ruthless."

"That's the way it is for the Descendants, whoever is ruthless with them. If you had joined the Incarnation Army in Qinzhou from the beginning, you would have done the same. When my dad was still around, at most three days apart, he had to kill someone, more or less. He said that the army was forced to rebel, and he did not want to leave his homeland, and he did not know where to go. It is necessary to strictly manage the army, so that they know who holds the power of life and death, so that they can barely disperse. ”

"Look at the fate of the King of the Descendant, although the person who killed him was the King of Liang, but the people who broke into the palace with the King of Liang and killed all the relatives and friends of the Xue family were all the Descendant Army."

Xue Jinyao never argued with her husband, and sighed: "I still think that you are not Ning Bao'er's opponent, I really hope I can do something for you." ”

"Don't." Xu Ji immediately stopped, "I have my own way." ”

"Hey, you always have a 'way', your problem is that there are too many 'ways' and your wrists are too soft." Xue Jin shook her hand and grabbed her husband's wrist, not as thin as she thought, but not very thick either.

Xu Ji couldn't break free, so he had to follow her, "The incarnation army has a beginning and no end, but because it has no ambitions and blindly goes with the flow, the so-called Buddha country is too far away, and the soldiers don't know what to follow." Now it's different, I'm fighting with King Ning not only for the Eastern Capital, but also for the whole world, and at this time, it's not enough to be ruthless. You are my bed-sharing wife, give me a little trust. ”

"I hope you win." Xue Jinyan refused to let go of her hand, she had known her husband for a short time, but she was already reluctant, "If you don't win, I will take you away." ”

"If I don't win - you are also a loser, Yi Ning is ruthless, how can you let the two of us leave alive?" Xu Ji stretched out his other hand and gently pressed it on the back of his wife's hand, "If you win, you will win together, and if you lose, you will lose together, and you will be husband and wife." ”

"Well, why did I agree to marry you in the first place?"

"Because of the revelation that Maitreya Buddha gave you?"

"Actually, it's because...... You're the most handsome I've ever met. ”

"Haha." Xu Ji laughed, "I can't imagine that I still have an Israelite person." Regardless of the beginning, just look at the present, we are already husband and wife, and we should be in the same boat. ”

"Of course, you still have a wife in Yecheng......

"It wasn't my intention to marry her, nor was it her intention, when she left the Eastern Capital, she once wrote a letter of resignation."

"She divorced you?" Xue Jinyan asked in surprise.

"Hmm."

"Yes, why is there only men and women, and not women and men? I kind of like her when you say that, and she's a strange woman. ”

"She's not a strange woman, she's just spoiled."

"Well, I believe in you, I believe you'll win, and I hope it helps."

"I don't need your help for anything else, I'm only uneasy about Niu Tiannu, Feng Juniang is afraid that she won't be able to trust her......"

"I'll go and I can see through her mind." Xue Jin shook his hand, pulled out his hand, got up and walked out.

The sky was already slightly bright, Xu Ji couldn't sleep anymore, but his heart was uncomfortable, and he fell into a cycle of guilt and contempt.

Although Xue Jinyao took the initiative to send it to the door, Xu Ji still told her some lies and took advantage of his wife.

He once set a bottom line for himself, but now the line is becoming more and more blurred.

"It's not the time to talk about righteousness." Xu Ji could only use this sentence to comfort himself.
