Chapter 197: The General's Face and the General's Soul
Mo Xiaoya seemed to be still talking to the person sitting across from her, Ling Heng ordered a cup of coffee, staring at the photo on her phone, her brows furrowing more and more.
He really wanted to stand up and walk to Mo Xiaoya's side now, but he still controlled himself.
Ling Heng enlarged the photo several times, and looked carefully at the man's facial features in the photo, "How could it be him?" It's incredible. ”
The man sitting opposite Mo Xiaoya was the one who Mo Xiaoya couldn't forget for four hundred years.
Ling Heng had seen his portrait, it was a Gongbi portrait painted by Mo Xiaoya very carefully, the general's lifelike face seemed to be alive at any time, so Ling Heng remembered the general's face.
And the man sitting opposite Mo Xiaoya actually had the same face as the general in the portrait, Ling Heng didn't believe that there would be such a coincidence.
Ling Heng patiently waited for Mo Xiaoya and the man to finish eating, intending to follow them silently, but Mo Xiaoya and the man parted at the door of the restaurant.
"Mo Xiaoya!"
Ling Heng called out to Mo Xiaoya, who was about to leave, with a cold expression.
"Old, boss?"
As soon as Mo Xiaoya saw Ling Heng, she immediately shrunk her neck and took the opportunity to escape.
"Stop! Where else can you escape? Ling Heng handed her the phone, "Say, where did you meet this man?" ”
"Met on a chat app." Mo Xiaoya knew that she couldn't deceive Ling Heng, so she could only tell the truth.
"What chat software? Who spoke to whom first? Ling Heng's stern questioning made Mo Xiaoya feel a lot of pressure.
Mo Xiaoya obediently held up the phone in front of Ling Heng, "Look at it yourself." ”
Ling Heng unceremoniously took Mo Xiaoya's mobile phone, and carefully read the chat records between Mo Xiaoya and the man, it turned out that Mo Xiaoya greeted him first, the two only met this morning, and Mo Xiaoya took the initiative to ask him to meet.
"Mo Xiaoya, don't you understand a truth in the world for so many years? How can you easily meet strangers? Do you think you're a ghost so you don't have to be afraid of anything? ”
Ling Heng's scolding was like a basin of cold water, pouring on the top of Mo Xiaoya's head.
She is not guarded, but when she is idle and bored, and occasionally clicks on the software to find the man's avatar, she can no longer be calm, she must see that person as soon as possible.
Mo Xiaoya was still silent, and Ling Heng continued: "Don't you have any doubts about such a similar person? Have you forgotten that the fire has the exact same face as me, so you are not afraid that he is the second fire life? ”
Mo Xiaoya finally couldn't help but open her mouth, "He's just an ordinary person, I can be sure." And he is also very gentlemanly and polite, no rhetoric, most of the time we had dinner just now I was talking to him excitedly, so don't worry, he is not a bad person. ”
After listening to Mo Xiaoya's defense, Ling Heng didn't get more annoyed, but just continued to question her, "You asked him to meet just because he had the same face as the general, right?" Will you still fall in love with him because of this? ”
Mo Xiaoya pursed her mouth and didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence to Ling Heng's words.
"What's the man's name? How old is he? What does it do? Do you have a home? ”
Ling Heng's series of questions caught Mo Xiaoya off guard, but she also answered them one by one.
"His name is Mi Rui, 33 years old, he is engaged in financial investment, he is very busy with work, and he has no time to talk about love, let alone start a family. He's also using that chat app for the first time this morning, and he's definitely a reliable person......"
But Mo Xiaoya's answer made Ling Heng even more angry, "You fool! It's been 400 years, and my brain hasn't grown at all! ”
Ling Heng was so angry that he really wanted to give Mo Xiaoya a slap.
Mo Xiaoya stubbornly raised her face, no longer endured Ling Heng's reprimand, and retorted with a tough attitude: "Aren't you also relieved about Yeji's matter, no longer regard her as an enemy, and take her back!" Why can't I strive for my own happiness when you can love whoever you want to love? Boss, do you know that I have loved the shogun for hundreds of years longer than you have loved Yohime? Why can't I be bold enough to fight for my own happiness? ”
Mo Xiaoya felt that her words were sonorous and powerful, and Ling Heng should have no reason to refute her.
Who knows, Ling Heng said something that frightened her at this time.
"Xing Jiang has a wisp of the general's soul in his body!" After Ling Heng said this, he turned around and left.
"What did you say?"
How could Mo Xiaoya let Ling Heng just leave, desperately stopping Ling Heng.
Ling Heng stared at her coldly and said lightly: "What's the matter, is there something wrong with your ears when you are immersed in love?" ”
Mo Xiaoya ignored Ling Heng's taunt and asked anxiously, "How do you know that Xing Jiang has a wisp of the general's soul in his body?" Why didn't you tell me earlier? ”
"I thought you would find out, and at that time, Xing Jiang only had Ye August in his heart, if I told you, wouldn't you be even more uncomfortable? But now that you've found someone who looks the same as the general, I won't interfere with you anymore, so just be careful yourself. ”
Ling Heng removed Mo Xiaoya's arm that was blocking his way, and stopped talking to her, he still had to go to the Jade Food Pavilion to find out the whereabouts of Yu Panxin.
"The general was killed by the enemy's witchcraft, and his three souls and seven spirits were damaged, and it is not easy to enter reincarnation, but it is not impossible. I waited for him for four hundred years and couldn't, and when I gave up hope, I met Xing Jiang, but unfortunately he was thinking about others in his heart. When I was about to let go, I met someone with the same appearance as the general, but the boss told me that Xing Jiang had a wisp of the general's soul in his body. If the general is really reincarnated, how can the three souls and seven spirits be separated? What the hell is going on? ”
Mo Xiaoya stood in place and muttered to herself, she suddenly felt that she had not entered reincarnation for four hundred years, and the idea of waiting for the general seemed to be an empty wait in the end.
Although Mi Rui's appearance is no different from that of a general, and although he doesn't say much, Mo Xiaoya can feel that he also has a good impression of him, and the reason why tonight's date will end early is because Mi Rui is going on a business trip abroad tomorrow.
But Mo Xiaoya was not completely unwary of Mi Rui's appearance, so after Ling Heng's reminder, she now wanted to see Xing Jiang as soon as possible.
"Xing Jiang!" Mo Xiaoya read Xing Jiang's name all over the place, and her eyes were full of ghosts.
Ling Heng felt a little uncomfortable when he came to the door of the Jade Cuisine Pavilion, on weekdays, the Jade Cuisine Pavilion was already full of guests and friends at this time, how could he think that the door was closed like this now, and the door was full of birds.
Ling Heng still knocked politely on the door, and soon the masked man in the gray robe came to open the door for Ling Heng.
"Hasn't Boss Jade come back yet?" Ling Heng asked with a twisted eyebrow.
The masked man shook his head helplessly, "The boss hasn't come back yet." But since you're here, come in, and I'll make you a pot of tea. ”
"Thank you!" Ling Heng was not polite, he raised his feet and walked in.
"I don't have to make tea, I'll just turn around." Ling Heng smiled at the masked man, and the masked man retreated with interest.
Ling Heng first walked around the lake, and then went to the tomb of Yupanxin.
There are two permanent lamps lit in the tomb of Yupanxin, which are not too dim, and there is no unpleasant smell of dampness and decay here, only a faint smell of herbs.
Ling Heng carefully inspected the tomb of Jade Panxin and found that there was a place in the tomb of Jade Panxin that was different from before.
Because he found that the paper on the bookcase had ink marks, and before that, Ling Heng noticed that there was only paper and no ink in the tomb of Jade Panxin, this guy was not a person who was good at ink treasures.
Ling Heng immediately called the masked man, "Did Boss Yu come back before?" ”
The masked man shook his head, "I haven't seen him come back." ”
Ling Heng pointed to the table and asked, "Then what's the matter with the inkstone in his tomb?" Did you bring it to him? ”
The masked man looked at the table strangely and shook his head again, "I've never seen this inkstone before, and I didn't bring it." ”
"So what's going on? Doesn't that guy usually write with a carbon pen? And it is said that carbon pens are much more convenient than brushes, how can there suddenly be four treasures of the study? ”
Ling Heng muttered puzzled, and then said to the man: "You should be alert, if he comes back, tell me immediately, and you must do your best to keep him, and you can't let him leave again!" ”
The masked man replied respectfully, "I understand, Mr. Ling rest assured." ”
Ling Heng hurriedly left the Jade Food Pavilion.
The paper with ink marks on the jade plate's bookcase was carried by Ling Heng in his jacket pocket, and he always felt that he could find something on this seemingly useless piece of paper.
Ling Heng was on his way back to the office, and Mo Xiaoya was also on his way to Xing Jiang's house.
Xing Jiang used this time to redecorate his home, and the real murderer of his cousin and cousin's girlfriend, Huo Sheng, has been caught, although he has not yet been given a specific time for execution, but this is also a matter of time, at least he can comfort the souls of all the people killed by Huo Sheng.
However, at the beginning, Ling Heng and the others were busy looking for Ye Ji, and they didn't ask what Huo Sheng wanted to trade with Zhu Zheng was.
Ling Heng suddenly remembered this incident, changed his route, and went to the detention center where Huo Sheng was being held.
Ling Heng used "unconventional" means to go directly to see Huo Sheng, who had already rested at this time.
Huo Sheng was arranged in a private room and waited for the order to execute at any time, in other words, ordinary people might have been unable to sleep in fear all day long, but Huo Sheng was lying facing the wall and sleeping soundly.
Ling Heng only felt ironic as he listened to his even breathing.
"Don't you already notice I'm coming?" Ling Heng's voice was very low, and the whole person was hidden in the dark.
Huo Sheng's body moved slightly, but he didn't turn around, and said lazily, "Why did you come?" I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”
Ling Heng took a step forward slightly and sneered disdainfully, "It seems that you do have residual spiritual power in your body, and you are worthy of being a member of the Spirit Clan." Do you know what I came to you for? ”
Flames sat up, still facing the wall.
His shoulders shook slightly, and he let out two sneers, "Hehe, I know the purpose of your coming." Are you trying to ask me what I wanted to sell to Zhu Zheng but regretted it? ”
