Rebirth from the Ashes: The Fatal Slave

Chapter 193 Poisonous Plan: The Pain of the Great General
Zhuo Zhuo walked to the front of the palace and looked up at the situation above.Guang Sai and a few attendants stood on the pillar, and they were indeed inside.Zhuo Zhuo looked around, there was a forest from here to the gate of the place, and usually there were not many people, so Zhuo Zhuo went there to wait.Han Yingxi came back, and when they were in the premises, the person who secretly followed her would also follow.What's more, even if he still followed, Xuanyuan Ji could still sense the warning to her.

It didn't take long for the two of them to come out.After walking down the steps, Han Qingjian walked directly to the bedroom, while Xuanyuan Ji came here under the guidance of an attendant.Zhuo Zhuo pursed her lips and scolded that attendant hundreds of times in her heart, but as long as that attendant was around, she couldn't talk to Xuanyuan Ji, after all it was too obvious to wait here.

Seeing them approaching her, Zhuo Zhuo hid behind the tree and made a slight rustling sound.Xuanyuan Ji's martial arts are so strong, even if she didn't make a sound, she should have sensed that someone was behind the tree, let alone she made a sound on purpose?

They walked from one side of the tree to the other side of the tree, Xuanyuan Ji suddenly stopped, and said to the attendant: "I still prefer to walk by myself, you go and do your work."

"Yes, General." The attendant bowed and left.Zhuo Zhuo was happy in his heart, and she and Xuanyuan Ji really enjoyed their cooperation.

But it was not clear what was going on outside, and Zhuo Zhuo didn't dare to go out rashly, so he poked his head out to see the situation.As soon as he stretched out his head, his vision was blocked by a suit of armor.Xuanyuan Ji was standing by the tree, Zhuo Zhuo looked up and saw his monotonous eyebrows: "His Royal Highness Yingxi will be angry if he doesn't see you when he returns."

Zhuo Zhuo has no time to tease him, after all, time is precious.She dragged Xuanyuan Ji behind the tree, and then looked around.Xuanyuan Ji switched hands and looked at her startled look with a slight frown: "Why are you acting like a thief? Don't worry, I will know if someone comes."

Yes!Zhuo Zhuo turned his head, squinted at him, and then pursed his lips: "General Xuanyuan."

"what?"

"I have something to ask you, I hope you can answer me seriously."

"I like you, didn't you tell me?" He started to be serious again, with a bad smile on his face.

Zhuo Zhuo didn't refute him, nor was he angry, but just stared into his eyes with a trace of sentimentality in his serious expression: "You are a survivor of Huai country, right?"

Xuanyuan Ji's smile froze on his face, no matter how he could hide it, this secret that had been hidden for more than ten years, a secret that no one should know, was suddenly brought up by Zhuo Zhuo, he couldn't believe it.Seeing his expression, even if he didn't answer, Zhuo Zhuo already knew the answer.

Her brows slowly frowned, her eyes half-closed, and the water color in her eyes glowed erratically: "The Second Highness led an army to kill all your family members, why did you become his subordinate?"

Xuanyuan Ji was still stiff, the teasing smile from before seemed to be a mask.After a long time, he turned his head to the side, frowning slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.Then he looked at Zhuo Zhuo again, without censure, fear, or any intention of questioning, but just smiled miserably, as if sighing: "You are such a powerful woman, you know even these things."

"You haven't answered me yet, why did you follow His Royal Highness Yingxi?"

Xuanyuan Ji raised his eyes, his smile restrained, but his eyes were still so helpless: "If I don't answer you, will you tell His Highness Yingxi all this?"

Zhuo Zhuo pursed her lips, and finally she replied: "Even if you refuse to answer, I will not betray you. Because you have never betrayed me, and you have helped me hide a lot of things... We are actually friends, no ?"

Xuanyuan Ji shook his head and smiled bitterly: "So you think I will definitely tell you?"

"I know that you have never harmed His Royal Highness Yingxi, so you will not hide it from me. I trust you, and you trust me, knowing that I will not easily reveal your secret."

"You speak so beautifully, it seems that I have no room for maneuver. Zhuo Zhuo, since you know that I have never harmed His Highness, why do you have to know the reason? Women are strange animals. You said you trust I, in fact, am still worried that I will do something wrong to His Highness."

Zhuo Zhuo looked at him, the water in his eyes rippled layer by layer, so that his reflection also became volatile: "I trust you, otherwise I wouldn't ask you directly. Whether I'm weird or not animal, at least I won’t harm you.”

"I know, you are also very protective of me." Xuanyuan Ji smiled, but that smile was not pretty at all, "As you said, you came to ask me directly because you trust me, and you won't betray me. But if I said that I actually planned to kill His Royal Highness Yingxi, would you still be so indifferent and hide it for me?"

Zhuo Zhuo looked at Xuanyuan Ji in surprise, Xuanyuan Ji knew that she would not give him an answer, because it would be a very painful decision, so he did not wait for her answer, and continued: "I saw the whole family being killed with my own eyes, I hold I only escaped the catastrophe by hiding my sister in the narrow stove. The country was ruined and the family was destroyed. I only had hatred in my heart. I entrusted my sister to a friend and joined the army as a commoner in the Xia Kingdom. It was the army of His Royal Highness Yingxi. "

Xuanyuan Ji looked at Zhuo Zhuo, and described his experiences at that time word by word. Zhuo Zhuo felt sore in his heart. He didn't know whether it was because of the tragedy of his loss of a loved one, or the conflict he faced with killing relatives and enemies.

"I was trying my best to get close to His Royal Highness Yingxi and kill him to avenge him. Finally, I was appreciated by him. But suddenly, because of the death of his best friend, he chose to put down the butcher knife. Only then did I realize how important this Highness is. Love and righteousness are important, and there is a bright red heart in his indifferent appearance. Since he no longer slaughters, why should I persist in hatred? He left the army and returned to the capital, and I continued to stay in the Xiaguo military camp. As the years passed, I also became a powerful person, and I can take care of my sister with peace of mind."

Xuanyuan Ji looked at Zhuo Zhuo with complicated eyes, and his expression was full of mystery: "But now His Highness has broken his promise, because of you, he picked up the knife again. So, should I start revenge again?" ?”

Xuanyuan Ji looked into the distance, and after a long time, he laughed out loud, Zhuo Zhuo had never heard such a painful laugh: "He is the enemy who destroyed my homeland, and also the benefactor who cultivated me and gave me today, he kills, but he is also full of tenderness .He is sometimes cold, but sometimes he is cheerful and innocent. No one knows which is the real him, but no matter what kind of person he is, his talent is immeasurable. After he chooses to hold the gold again At the same time as the knife, he also let me see hope, to achieve a peaceful and prosperous country, and there will be no more wars, and no more tragedies. So Zhuo Zhuo, I am very conflicted. Should I continue to assist in realizing my hope, or for Family revenge."

Seeing Zhuo Zhuo's tears, Xuanyuan Ji smiled wryly again. He stretched out to wipe away her tears, and said softly: "Although I am very contradictory, there is one thing for sure. No matter what I choose in the end, you choose What, what is the result, my love for you will never change."
