Chapter 171: I've been living like a puppet for a long time
Guan Jiyu went out, and Xia Mingzhong was standing under the tree in the courtyard outside, waiting. Her mind was full of the last sentence that Jin Cicada said to her: "This request is very simple, I believe you should be able to do it, right?"
When Xia Mingzhong saw her coming, he asked, "How is it?" Did she give you the finale?"
Guan Jiyu shook his head and replied, "Not yet, we have to wait a while."
"What are you waiting for?" Xia Mingzhong was a little surprised, and said, "Since you already know that the things are in her place, why don't you just come over?"
Guan Jiyu hung her head, and there were a lot of residual leaves on the ground, she stepped on them with her feet, and said, "How can it be so simple? We only know that she is there, but we don't know if it is hidden on her, or is it hidden by her somewhere else? It's too risky to rob hard, what if you annoy her and be ruined by her? What's more, Jin Cicada has made conditions, as long as her conditions are met, she should be able to get it back smoothly."
Xia Mingzhong was not at ease, and asked again, "Then are you sure that you can meet the conditions she proposed?"
He was measured, within his concern, and did not touch the content of the conditions she did not want to say.
Guan Jiyu thought to himself, isn't it just a promise not to meet before Jin Chan and Xiang Lincheng's wedding? What's so hard about that? Now that she has seen her heart clearly, she will never miss Xiang Lincheng for half a minute, and now if he wants to get married, he will get married, and it is none of her business.
It's just that Jin Chan may be a little unsteady in his heart, and he is always worried that Guan Jiyu will disturb this marriage, so in order to complete the marriage smoothly, this will make this request, right?
Guan Jiyu had two choices in front of him.
One is the cultivation page she is looking for. If you can really get back the final chapter of "Chopping the Wind Technique", maybe you still hope to pick up the original kung fu again.
The other is Xiang Lincheng.
Compared with a man's own health, Guan Jiyu will only choose the former no matter what he thinks.
"Now that I don't have him in my heart for a long time, how can I joke with my future?"
Guan Jiyu said to Xia Mingzhong: "There should be no problem now, they will get married in about a month, and when the time comes, I will just wait for the ceremony to be completed, and I will come to get my things back."
Xia Mingzhong nodded and said seriously, "If necessary, I can come with you when the time comes."
Guan Jiyu was in a good mood, and while walking outside with Xia Mingzhong, he asked, "Speaking of which, I still want to ask you, more than a year has passed since the incident of "Wind Chopping Technique", not to mention others, even I have almost given up and stopped thinking about it, Brother Xia, why do you bother to keep it in your heart and keep it in your heart?"
Guan Jiyu thought for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, except for cultivating in the palace last year, we have only seen a few times in the palace before, and we haven't said a few words, so there is no need to talk about any feelings. That...... Why are you helping me like this?"
Xia Mingzhong's pace was slow, and a subtle expression suddenly appeared on his handsome and wild face, and it took him a long time before he said casually: "It's not sentimental, if you have to ask why, then maybe I saw what I looked like when I was young from you."
"What were you like when you were younger?" Guan Jiyu pointed at himself and said, "Me? I've heard that you've been called the Northern Knife for a long time, and I don't dare compare you with your fame and strength."
"I didn't mean that." Xia Mingzhong glanced at Guan Jiyu and said lightly: "Originally, I didn't know very well, but if you think about it carefully, maybe you were the same as me at that time, and you didn't have any backing. It doesn't matter if a person doesn't have a backer or a family power, but if he is born in such an environment and is too sharp, it is not a good thing."
Guan Jiyu said blankly: "But I have never done anything ostentatious, from the very beginning, the eldest prince taught us, don't be arrogant, don't bully. Over the years, I have always adhered to his teachings, to be cautious, to be careful in what I do."
Xia Mingzhong looked at her again, stopped, and said earnestly: "In this world, if you are not careful, bad luck will stay away from you, if your light is not supported, it will make people with intentions have intentions......
"Then, you are also ...... by someone who has a heart?" Guan Jiyu asked cautiously, "You
But the North Knife! Who dares?"
Xia Mingzhong pinned the nullah knife to his waist and walked slowly with his hands behind his back, "What about the Northern Knife? It's not that I can't protect the people around me. I used to think that with my hard work, I would be able to protect the important people around me, but in the end, I realized that I was nothing in front of some forces above me."
Guan Jiyu nodded affirmatively, and Xia Mingzhong's words made her echo and said, "Also, when I was in the Well of Purgatory, they brutalized my companions like that, and I could only watch it, but there was nothing I could do about it."
Xia Mingzhong let out an "um" and asked softly, "When you get the final chapter of the Wind Chopping Technique this time, if you can recover your previous kung fu, will you go back again?"
Guan Jiyu knew that he was asking, would he return to the border camp?
Without thinking, she said, "If I can really restore all my kung fu, I think I'll go back."
Xia Mingzhong raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Do you want to go back, knowing that it's not easy to stay there, knowing that you might lose your head from time to time?"
"I know what I'm doing." Guan Jiyu said with some emotion: "My country may not be very strong, but if everyone can do their best to support it, one day it will definitely become a big country that is respected and respected by all the countries around it!" Under the nest, Ann has finished eggs? If it collapses and collapses, where can I hide even if I hide?"
Guan Jiyu thought of the incident when she met King Ying in the Well of Purgatory, and she reminded Xia Mingzhong: "It's you, Brother Xia, your sword skills can be called a god, and there will be a place for you anywhere, so why do you have to be obsessed with following King Ying? What he's doing, what's going on in his mind, don't you know? The prince of the dignified Li Kingdom can come and go in and out of the enemy camp at will, what is his intention? Don't you really understand?"
Out of the alley street, the two walked to the spacious road, Xia Mingzhong stopped, faced Guan Jiyu, and said with a solemn expression: "What does the prince do, what he wants to do, I don't want to ask, and I won't think about why he does these things. All I can do is stand by his side and listen to him."
Regarding this issue, Guan Jiyu was by no means willing to be ambiguous, she insisted: "Brother Xia, I saw that you had a righteous spirit, so I was good at persuading you. What is the point of a person living without even being able to tell the difference between right and wrong?"
"Right and wrong...... Xia Mingzhong silently recited these three words, he suddenly pulled out a smile of unknown meaning, and then said slowly: "Does right and wrong matter to me? Anyway, I would have lived like a puppet a long time ago, and if it weren't for him, I wouldn't know where to lose my life...... I saved him, and he saved me, because of him, I was able to avoid being hunted down and appear on the land of the capital like a person. He and I didn't just redeem each other, we had already twisted into a rope and could no longer break away."
"I just feel sorry." Guan Jiyu was still unwilling to say: "A top master like you, if you come to protect your family and defend the country, if there are more people like you in the border camp, how good it would be......
Xia Mingzhong sneered, shook his head, and said, "You are really still very young."
Guan Jiyu was a little annoyed by his sneer, so he glared at him and said, "What are you laughing at? Do you think I'm ridiculous? What does it have to do with my youth? I dare say that in 10, 20, or 30 or 50 years, I would still think so!"
Xia Mingzhong nodded indifferently and said, "Okay, good, you have backbone, you have faith."
His perfunctory attitude made Guan Jiyu feel angry again, Guan Jiyu gritted his teeth and said, "Not only me, but everyone in this Xuli country should have such a belief, right? As long as we are still the people of this Xu Li country, we should guard it well, and we are duty-bound!"
"I only know the 'food of the king, the matter of loyalty to the king'." He said leisurely, "I met the prince when I was desperate everywhere and had no way to escape, didn't I say it? If it weren't for him, I wouldn't know where to lose my life. He may be a bit of a problem, but he also asked me to be a new person and gave me a bite to eat, so how could I abandon him?"
Xia Mingzhong took out the nullah knife from his waist, and he slowly pulled the knife out of the scabbard and used it
He wiped his sleeve and put it back, saying, "As long as I and my knife are still there, I can give everything I have for him, even my life."
Guan Jiyu was speechless for a while, she couldn't think of anything to argue with Xia Mingzhong, so she could only say indignantly: "Okay, you are loyal, you are the most righteous. I have nothing to say, and I can't tell you clearly!"
Xia Mingzhong's hearty laughter sounded, Guan Jiyu frowned, and said, "I am grateful to you for encouraging me when I was desperate, and I am also grateful for everything you helped me with, but the Tao is not the same, you and I are not people on the same road, just don't talk about these things again, so as not to add more trouble!"
"I didn't say that." Xia Mingzhong looked down at her with a smile and said, "Didn't you say it yourself?"
Guan Jiyu didn't look over, and said bluntly: "I shouldn't say it, I will never mention this matter to you again in the future!" But I'll remind you one last time, to be in the company of evil and to fight for the tiger is only to harm yourself in the end!"
"I see." Xia Mingzhong said that he knew, but there was still a joke on his face.
Where does he still look like a middle-aged man with this playful attitude?!
Guan Jiyu clenched his fists and said, "Don't leave it here, I'll go."
She turned around and left, only to hear a "yes."
Xia Mingzhong paused, and shouted behind her again, "If you need it, you can come to me again!"
