Chapter 41: The Truth

On this day, Yunjing returned from the barracks, and dinner had not yet been prepared in the courtyard. Yunjing came to the side hall to say goodbye to the master.

Xu Duchen was sitting in a chair, seemingly closing his eyes to recuperate. He opened his eyes when he heard someone come in.

"Jing'er is back."

"Yes, Master."

"How are you learning with Chen Duling these days?"

"I learned a lot from him, but I didn't have any practical experience."

"Now that the war has not started, you naturally have no way to show your skills. You need to step up your mastery of the art of war, and once the court orders it, it will be your time to show your ambitions. ”

"Master, don't worry, the apprentice will not disappoint you."

"Well, Master believes in you."

After half a day of drilling, Yunjing already felt hungry, so he said, "Master, why hasn't the Daoist Academy prepared dinner today?" I'll take a look. ”

Xu Duchen said, "I was about to tell you about this. Hurry up and prepare some meals, and the prince will come to eat later. ”

"What is he here for?"

"Those who come are not good, they may be here to test your progress. Don't mention the war at that time, I think he is waiting for an opportunity to obstruct it. ”

"Yes, Master."

The Taoist courtyard was not too big, and Yunjing was busy in the dining room, and heard the sound of the prince coming here and the master going out to greet him.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Nine."

"I'm bothering Daoist Xu, it's just that my ninth brother is greedy for the cooking skills of the Yunjing girl, I heard that she came to the palace, so I have to come here to eat." It's the voice of Jingyuan.

"Big brother, don't just talk about me, don't you want to come too!" An immature voice must be the Nine Emperor Princes.

Xu Duchen said politely: "It is an honor for the two highnesses to come, please come to the side hall and sit down, Jing'er is preparing a meal, and it will be fine soon." ”

Through the window of the dining room, Yunjing saw Jingyuan looking over here. She quickly turned her head and pretended not to see him, hating him tightly in her heart.

After the meal was ready, Yunjing was sent to the side hall. As soon as she entered the door, she felt Jing Yuan's eyes follow her. “”

After arranging the plates, dishes, chopsticks, etc., Yunjing said, "The two highnesses use it slowly. The prince did not answer. Yunjing was about to turn around, only to hear the Nine Emperors say, "Yunjing girl, let's sit down and have dinner together." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, it's just that I've already eaten in the barracks. The little girl retired. ”

Yunjing returned to the dining room, brought out the food he had left behind, and devoured it for a while.

She didn't want to eat at the same table with the prince who was with the demon king, she would definitely not know the taste!

"Didn't you eat?" A voice suddenly sounded behind her, and Yunjing jumped.

It turned out to be Jingyuan!

Yun Jing hurriedly got up, wiped the rice from his mouth, and said, "Your Highness, you...... How did you get here? ”

Jing Yuan sneered: "You're avoiding me, right?" ”

Yunjing shook his head: "I'm just ......"

"As I said, we already know each other's identities, just pretend to be in front of people, and now it's just the two of us, you don't have to pretend to be polite."

"That'...... Is it time to start fighting? Yunjing hesitated, "Can you wait for me to finish eating?" I haven't eaten yet......"

Jingyuan: "......"

Seeing that Jingyuan didn't make any next move, Yunjing sat back down and continued to eat.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you? Today's meal is a little anxious, but it's okay, you can go back and eat. I'll talk about it later. ”

Jing Yuan looked at her for a moment and left. He had never seen a woman like her.

After dinner, Jing Yuan said to Xu Duchen: "Xu Daochang's beloved apprentice Li Yunjing has a good swordsmanship, I feel that I have benefited a lot since the last time I sparred, can I try it with her again today?" ”

Xu Duchen said with a smile: "Jing'er is also very obsessed with swordsmanship, and if the prince can guide her in one or two is her creation, I will send someone to call her immediately." ”

"Hey, it's this set again." Yunjing listened to Xiao Daotong's words, took the sword and walked to the back garden, what did this Jingyuan always want to say to her? I don't remember anything.

Coming to the back garden, Jingyuan was already waiting there.

Yun Jing looked at him from afar, this person has a noble appearance, a jade tree in the wind, and he can be regarded as a talent, but he is willing to fall and collude with the demon king, it is really in vain to be the prince above the ten thousand people under this person.

Jing Yuan saw Yunjing's footsteps hesitating, and said with a smile: "Could it be that you are afraid?" ”

Hearing this, Yunjing immediately took a big stride and soon came to the prince: "I, Li Yunjing, don't have this word 'fear' in my mind. ”

"Hmph, it's still so arrogant."

"Whether I am arrogant or not, it depends on what the sword in my hand says." Yunjing drew his sword out of its sheath, and a sword light flashed in front of Jingyuan's eyes.

"You want to kill me?" Jing Yuan chuckled.

"Where's your sword?" Yunjing looked at his waist, empty and without a sword.

"Isn't this your chance?"

Yunjing sneered: "I never kill the unarmed. ”

"If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to do it again." Jing Yuan looked at her, his eyes shining with sword light.

"Do you think I'm stupid? Kill you here, and my master and I will not be able to escape. ”

Jing Yuan smiled: "You're not stupid. ”

Yunjing withdrew his sword: "It's boring." You said you wanted to compete with swords, but you didn't bring a sword, so what should I do here? She suddenly thought that Chi Ling was going to seize the matter of her threat to Yu Li, and looked around vigilantly. It can't be a trap set by you and the Demon King, right? ”

"In your eyes, am I such a villain?" Jing Yuan said expressionlessly.

"Or else?" Yunjing still didn't let his guard down, "I was hit several times, and my life was almost gone." It's not all thanks to you! ”

Jing Yuan stepped forward to her and asked in a low voice, "Then can you tell me if you killed my brother?" ”

Yunjing was shocked and took a few steps back. Didn't Jue Li say that Jing Lin was killed by him? Why did Jing Yuan question her like this? Could it be that there is something else going on? She held back the ups and downs in her heart and said, "I don't remember anything from the past, how do you want me to tell you?" ”

Jing Yuan took out a pill: "As long as you take this pill, you can remember all the things in the past." He pressed step by step, Yun Jing didn't know what kind of medicine this was, so he didn't dare to take it, so he could only continue to retreat.

"At that time, the two of you were determined that you killed Jinglin and tried your best to excuse each other, do you know how much I hated you at that time? I lost my hands and feet, but you are still there to play the concubine! Jing Yuan's smiling expression just now was gone, replaced by gritting teeth.

"We've been punished by heaven, why are you still pestering?" Yun Jing clenched the sword in her hand, she was a little flustered, I don't know if it was because Jing Yuan was pressing step by step, or because she was closer to the truth.

"Heavenly punishment? Now you can still meet in the mortal realm, and you can continue to be affectionate, but what about my brother? He's gone! How cruel is your heart? You know how ...... he is to you" Jing Yuan almost choked up, unable to speak.

Yunjing knew in his heart that Jingyuan would never give up. And his alliance with Chi Ling is very threatening. As Chi Ling's magic power grows day by day, she and Jue will be more dangerous.

Since what Jing Yuan wants now is the truth, then the pill he took should be an elixir to restore the memory of the gods, so he might as well give it a try.

"Okay, I'll take this medicine."

Yunjing took the medicine and was about to swallow it, but someone snatched it away.

At some point, a figure appeared in front of her. It turned out to be Kuoli.

"Kuo...... Brother! In front of Jing Yuan, she still didn't ask him to leave.

"You dare to take the pills he gave?" He was unhappy on his face.

"It's a medicine to restore memory......"

"You believe whatever he says?" Juli crushed the pill with his fingers and swayed it in the wind. He said to Jingyuan: "You don't play tricks on her. ”

Jing Yuan sneered: "What, are you afraid?" Don't dare to let her regain her memory? ”

"There's no need. Jing Lin was indeed killed by me, if you are unhappy in your heart, you will come to me. ”

"I'll find out the truth." Jing Yuan finished speaking and left.

"Brother Yuli, when did you come?" Yun Jing asked, grabbing the placket of Jue Li's clothes.

"Just scared, right? You forgot I told you that when you feel in danger, I'll show up. He said softly.

Yun Jing stroked the ancient jade on his neck and said, "This Jingyuan is indeed not normal. It's been mixed with the demon king for a long time, and it's also weird. ”

"Jing Yuan is not a vicious person, but he was bewitched by Chi Ling and was obsessed by his brother's death, so he would be like this."

Yun Jing's expression became serious: "Brother Yuli, you tell me the truth, how did Jinglin die?" ”

"Didn't I say that I killed him by mistake?"

"No, there must be something else going on, right? Otherwise, why is Jingyuan so suspicious? ”

"What's the secret, it's all been closed, you and I have been punished, and what are you doing so much?" Jue Li said, "Jing Yuan just can't accept the fact that Jing Lin died. ”

"Then why did you kill Jinglin?"

"I said, I accidentally killed ......" Seeing Yunjing's thin clothes, Jue Li asked, "Is it cold?" Let's go back to the house. ”

Yun Jing completely ignored his concern and said, "With the mana of your god of war, will you kill another god by mistake?" You don't want to coax me as a child, okay? ”

"It was a child...... "Kuo Li scratched her nose.

She grabbed his hand angrily: "Tell me, what the hell is going on?" ”

Jue Li felt the temperature of her palm, rubbed it gently, and said, "He wants to marry you, how can I tolerate him?" ”

Hearing this, Yun Jing's heart jumped wildly uncontrollably, and she pretended to be calm: "Then you don't have to kill him, right?" ”

"New hatred and old hatred are counted together." He was still playing with her hand, which was not weak and boneless because of her perennial practice, but it was still soft, not as strong as her usual character.

Yun Jing forgot that his hand was still in his hand for a while, and asked, "What old hatred?" ”

"Everyone said that it was Yuteng who let go of the demon king Chiling, but the Qiyun Luo I used to suppress Chiling has only one nemesis in the sky and on the ground, and that is Yu Fang Ding. And Yu Fang Ding has always been kept by Jing Lin, and the escape of the Demon King will have nothing to do with him. ”
