Chapter 073: Vow This Life
After getting along for a long time, it is not difficult to find that Yi Chenjing is not as ruthless as he seems, but his arrogance has not been compromised at all. Xu is proton has suffered too much bullying and contempt, his self-esteem is much higher than others, bowing his head to others and apologizing Bai Qige never thought about this kind of behavior, the "I'm sorry" after the last quarrel was only regarded as a last resort for him to keep the chess pieces, but he didn't expect Yi Chenjing to come to the door again with such a meaningful apology.
"There is Bai Hao City with self-respect for the army, neither King Zhao nor the right prime minister dare to act rashly, the three armies of Zhao are not many in number, but they are all elite soldiers brought out by the Bai family, no matter how arrogant they are, they will not kill themselves."
Bai Qige has been thinking hard about how to protect the Bai family from persecution, and she can't find any good way to think about it, Yi Chenjing woke up the dreamer with a word, and she has to admit that she still can't compare with Yi Chenjing in terms of power-After all, the Bai family, who has been a generation of Jin Ge Iron Horse, is a subject of Zhao State, and the monarch has to die if the minister wants to die, but what if this courtier has enough heavy troops to overthrow the monarch?
Although King Zhao is not wise, but it has not reached the point of stupidity, in the face of Bai Haocheng, who commands the entire Zhao army, he can only hold and follow, otherwise he may not even be able to keep the position of the king of the vassal country, how can he talk about life and death? It's just that in this way, Yi Chenjing is much more dangerous, no matter what, Zhaoguo was attacked by him with his troops, looking at the entire Zhaoguo, the person hated by all the people the most is him, and the loyal and patriotic second brother Bai Haocheng is no exception, in case there is an assassination in case of contact in the future......
Taking a deep breath, Bai Qige couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Meeting with the second brother can still be avoided, the second brother is peaceful but loyal to Zhaoguo more than anyone else, and it is unknown if he will make some unexpected moves." ”
"Are you afraid he'll assassinate me?" Yi Chenjing chuckled silently.
Bai Qige was worried about him, which was more important and precious than any answer.
Realizing that her reaction had exposed her true heart, Bai Qige was annoyed and frightened, Yi Chenjing's fist and foot kung fu was one of the best among all the princes, she should be worried about the second brother Bai Haocheng, why did she think about his safety first? It seems that unconsciously, she has positioned herself as Yi Chenjing's henchman, and she is no longer the third lady of the Bai family who only wants her relatives to be well.
The words were out and couldn't be taken back, Bai Qige had no choice but to take off his cold expression and glared at Yi Chenjing fiercely: "Don't be self-righteous, I don't want the second brother to be convicted for killing you, and it was not easy to get rid of the pain of prison, it is really not worth losing your freedom for people like you." ”
"What kind of person am I?" Seeing that Bai Qige was no longer angry about the past, Yi Chenjing's heart finally let go, and his tone was much more relaxed, "No matter how disgraceful it is, you approve of it, didn't you say it, you are willing to help me win the world and determine the future." ”
"I said I wanted revenge on you, forgot?"
"When do you want to take revenge, just say, if you want to kill me, I will definitely not dodge or hide." didn't give Bai Qige a chance to return the favor at all, Yi Chenjing unexpectedly held Bai Qige's hand and raised it in front of him, lowered his head in front of his forehead, and closed his eyes with a reverent expression.
This action Bai Qige has seen before, it is a symbol of the agreement between the children of Zhaoguo, once promised, this world will not change.
Can you trust him anymore? After experiencing so many ups and downs, Bai Qige was extremely disappointed with Yi Chenjing's performance that she would lose her mind whenever she encountered something related to Hongxuan, but those sincere and deep eyes did not allow her to refuse, or rather, she could not refuse Yi Chenjing's request.
If you have to find out why...... Probably because it's too similar, she and Yi Chenjing.
Unusual circumstances make them stronger and more endurant than ordinary people, defending their loved ones with tenderness, defending against enemy damage with coldness, paving the way with scheming and intrigue, and walking towards their ultimate goal step by step. The slight difference is that Yi Chenjing's encounter gap is greater than her, and his character has both the forbearance and paranoia of being a lowly proton, the grace and arrogance of a noble prince, and the pride and ambition of a prominent general, such a person will inevitably be entangled with suspicion and capricious emotions, which is why he will repeatedly hurt her and try to make amends afterwards.
His nature is so good, and his life experience is so lamentable, how can she hate him again?
She knows very well the depression of being oppressed by others in a foreign land, so she understands Yi Chenjing's involuntary and inner contradictions, looking at him, thinking about him, slowly, the whole heart sinks.
Sighing lowly, Bai Qige's tone was full of weakness and exhaustion: "What about Princess Hongxuan?" Didn't you swear to avenge her? With a woman who is very likely to be the culprit by your side, can you really feel at ease? ”
"As I said before, whether you killed Hongxuan or not, now you are no longer Xiaoyingge, and those sins should not be imposed on you." Yi Chenjing kept the agreed posture still, opened his eyes, his eyes were bright, and his voice was elegant and soft, "Maybe Xiao Yingge was already dead when he rescued you ashore that night, and the deceased is gone, so there is no need to extend the hatred to others." Qige, I need your wisdom and strength, I hope you stay by my side, but I will never treat you as a pawn at will, if you insist on leaving, I will not impose it, everything is up to you. ”
That's it, there's nothing more to say. Bai Qige has no way out, when she decided in her heart to help Yi Chenjing become the emperor of Yaoguo and become the overlord of Zhongzhou, the intertwined fate track is destined to be inseparable again.
The slightly cool forehead rested on the clasped hands, the two of them were only a few inches away from each other, Yi Chenjing looked at the broken plain face in front of him, and a smile was drawn on his lips.
"From today on, you are my confidant, no matter whether he can ascend to the throne in the palm of his hand in the future, I Yi Chenjing will bear the burden of heaven and earth, and I will never fail you."
Bai Qige didn't say any oath, no matter how much she promised, there was always the possibility of betrayal, no matter how strong the oath was, there would always be a day when it collapsed, she couldn't guess how Yi Chenjing would keep this agreement, and even if she didn't say half a word, she would still use this life to maintain her life - willingly for him.
A noise in the courtyard interrupted the ambiguous atmosphere in the room, Bai Qige was startled, and subconsciously retracted his hand behind his back.
"No one, probably the sound of the wind blowing." Yi Chenjing hurriedly opened the door and looked around, but he didn't see anyone, and when he turned around and looked at Bai Qige, he was still gentle, "I asked Yu Che to go to the dining room to look at the tonic soup, and it will probably be delivered later." You have lost a lot of weight recently, and your face is not as good as before, anyway, there is nothing important before the expedition, and the Bai family doesn't have to worry about it anymore, you have to recuperate during this time, and you will have to take care of your mother and Chenxuan when I am not there, so I can rest assured. I went back first when I had nothing to do, and secretly ran back from the imperial study, and my father found out that he was going to scold me for being in love with women. ”
"Wait!" Seeing that he was leaving, Bai Qige blurted out.
Yi Chenjing stopped: "Anything else?" ”
"I ......" I didn't know what to think just now, and suddenly I had an urge to tell Yi Chenjing about the child, but in a short moment, Bai Qige regained his senses, and immediately changed his words, "It's not a big deal, I just want to see Yun Zhongjin again, last time he said something insignificant, I want to see if I can ask more things." ”
As soon as he heard Yun Zhongjin's name, Yi Chenjing immediately frowned: "What do you see him doing?" That person is very vulgar, and after coming to Yaoguo, he is unwilling everywhere, and if he asks him tightly, he is likely to jump over the wall and hurt you. ”
"It's okay, I have my own way."
Bai Qige's expression was firm, Yi Chenjing knew that she couldn't help it, so she had to nod and agree: "Go and go, let the battle court accompany you, if Yun Zhongjin really dares to do something to you, you don't have to show mercy, Da Yao can be a deputy general, not worse than him." ”
In fact, Yi Chenjing also wanted to ask Yun Zhongjin again, and in the dark, he always felt that Yun Zhongjin had hidden some important information, the mystery of Hongxuan's death. However, until now, he has not been able to put it into action, as soon as he comes to the expedition, there are many things, and the incompatibility with Yi Chenxuan is becoming more and more intense, and he must deal with the big things in front of him wholeheartedly; Second, because of Bai Qige, for some reason, Yi Chenjing subconsciously always resists the truth being revealed and the truth coming out.
What if the culprit is really Bai Qige? It's easy to say on the lips, but in my heart I am not ready to completely accept all the good and evil rights and wrongs of Bai Qige's past.
If you can delay it for a day, you can delay it for a day, and then think about these when he returns from the northern expedition to stabilize the military power and completely overthrow the prince and Yi Chenxuan, or simply let Bai Qige solve all the puzzles, he believes that Bai Qige will never lie to him again, hide from him, and tell him half a lie.
"Things have been too busy lately, if you have something to do, go to the imperial study to find me, when I'm not there, be careful."
Just reconciled and made an unexpected agreement, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward, Bai Qige smiled and waved goodbye, but when he closed the door, he left a gap, looking at the tall figure through the narrow gap, until Yi Chenjing walked out of the courtyard and couldn't see it again.
Bai Qige was a little flustered, his inexplicable mood was disturbed and complicated, rubbing his forehead and taking deep breaths again and again to try to regain his composure, but finally gave up.
In the face of such a gentle Yi Chenjing, she actually had a feeling of heartbeat.
"Open the door, open the door! Open the door! It's going to burn people! The irritability was broken by a series of cries, and outside the door, Yu Che kept shouting with a casserole, and his pink cheeks couldn't tell whether they were frozen by the cold or smoked by the heat, and they were flushed.
"If you are in a hurry, you can't be stable for a day?"
"It's hot, the skin is going to be burned!" Rushing into the room and putting down the casserole, Yu Che rubbed his fingers and blew the cool air, "The dining room said that this soup should be drunk hot, and it must be packed in the casserole so that it will not lose its medicinal power-huh?" Your Highness is gone? ”
Stretching out his hand and flicking it on Yu Che's head, Bai Qige raised his eyebrows: "Sure enough, you are making trouble behind." Dead girl, no one has as many eyes as you. ”
Yu Che smiled and acquiesced, and couldn't wait to open the lid of the casserole, the heat steamed high, and the rich flavor of meat and medicine mixed together wafted all over the house. Smelling this fragrance, Bai Qige's heart moved, and a confident smile spread to the corners of her mouth.
"Yu Che, you go to the battle court and ask him to find a way to help me get a pack of sweat medicine no matter what."
