After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong
Chapter 326 Bai Zhi Gained Trust
Qi He never thought that such a long time after the Wen family was exterminated, he would still be able to hear from a little girl about their general's most common habit at the time, which was unknown to everyone.
Not only did the girl know, but her expression and tone also showed her familiarity with the general.
She could even take out the token that the general had shown them personally, and she still said that she was Wen Bai?
Wen Bai had already gone with the general and the others a long time ago, so Qi He must have known about it.
He pulled out a sword from the rack behind him, pointed it at Wen Baizhi, and asked, "Who are you? The young lady has been dead for many years. Please respect her and don't pretend to be her name outside."
Wen Baizhi was not surprised by Qi He's reaction. After all, no one would believe that a person who had already died would appear in front of them again.
But Si Jiu's subconscious action of blocking in front of her made her feel warm in her heart.
She also stood up and slightly pulled away from Si Jiu: "Zi Jin, go behind me, I will be fine."
Si Jiu naturally knew that she would be fine.
Not to mention that Qi He would never do anything to hurt someone's life in his own escort company, even his secret guards hiding in the dark were all well-trained and would never watch Wen Baizhi get hurt.
On the contrary, he might even get sick and faint in the excitement and anxiety. Compared with Wen Baizhi, he needs more protection and is the more vulnerable one.
But he just didn't want to see Wen Baizhi in even the slightest danger.
He would stand in front of her no matter what.
Si Jiu followed Wen Baizhi's strength and retreated behind her.
Now what he saw was Wen Baizhi's back.
Wen Baizhi was not at all flustered when facing Qi He's sword.
Qi He felt a little unsure. It was surprising that such a young girl didn't look panicked at all when she saw his sword.
Wen Baizhi said, "On the way here, I was still thinking, Qi He, who exactly is it? I was wondering if I had heard your name before when I was at the Wen family. I kept thinking but couldn't figure it out. I have to thank you for this sword that helped me figure out who you are."
"What?" Qi He was led by her to ask unconsciously.
Wen Baizhi smiled and said, "It seems to be ten years ago, it should be about this long. When my father came to Yunzhou, he met a young man who had just lost his brother. He felt sorry for the young man and he had some skills, so he took him with him to the military camp and gave him a sword. If I remember correctly, this should be the sword my father gave you that year, because he asked me to make this sword. There seems to be a small arc mark on the hilt? That's it, it's been too long and I don't remember it."
She said it very easily, but Qi He's brows became more and more furrowed as he listened.
Such a secret past should not be known by anyone other than him and General Wen and his daughter.
His hand holding the sword was shaking. "Where did you hear these things? Who are you?"
Wen Baizhi asked herself again, "Me? I am Wen Bai. I told you I was Wen Bai a long time ago but you didn't believe me. Why do you still ask me who I am?"
How could Qi He believe it? "We all know that Miss Wen died in battle at the border. The dead cannot be resurrected. How could you be Wen Bai? And I have seen Miss Wen before. You clearly look different from her. It's impossible. You absolutely cannot be Miss Wen."
Wen Baizhi is well versed in negotiation.
At this moment, she could see that Qi He had already begun to lean towards Wen Bai.
But as he said, the dead cannot be resurrected. If you really want him to believe it, you still need some other excuses.
So she said, "It is true that the dead cannot be resurrected, but have you ever thought about what if I had never died in the first place?"
"What?" Qi He loosened his sword completely.
Wen Baizhi just quickly went through a lot of thoughts in her mind on how to make Qi He believe her.
Si Jiu could believe that Wen Baizhi's soul was hidden under her body because Si Jiu loved her deeply. So Si Jiu would believe whatever she said without any doubts, let alone think that she was possessed by some ghost or something.
But that may not be the case for others.
Especially in such an ancient context, most people are still very wary of such things.
She didn’t dare to bet on what Qi He was thinking.
If she said that she was Wen Bai, but was reborn in Wen Baizhi's body, Qi He would think she was crazy and talking nonsense.
So she just stopped saying it.
It would be better to just say that she is Wen Bai and has never died. This would make people more convinced.
"You also said that Wen Bai was dead before. Have you seen her body? Have you seen her grave? But you have been in Yunzhou all the time. I'm afraid you haven't returned to Kyoto for a long time. The Wen family was wiped out, and you probably haven't even gone to see them." There was a hint of sarcasm in Wen Baizhi's tone.
Qi He was so excited that he immediately denied it: "How could I not have been back to Kyoto! General Wen saved my life and is my great benefactor. Even if he wanted us to never return to Kyoto, how could I not go to see him after he suffered this disaster! I also asked people about Miss Wen, but I have never heard of where her tomb is, otherwise I would definitely go and pay my respects."
Wen Baizhi believed what he said: "So, Wen Bai has no grave in the world, which means that her body may not have been found. Does that mean that she is not dead? Just like me now, standing in front of you?"
This is the loophole she is deliberately exploiting now.
Qi Yan'an snatched Wen Bai's ashes from Si Jiu at that time. Qi Yan'an would not announce such a thing to the world.
What's more, she had already confirmed with Si Jiu that Wen Bai had no grave alive.
That's why she dared to argue with Qi He now.
Qi He became more suspicious after hearing what she said: "But you, you, even if Miss Wen is not dead, it can't be you, you look different from her."
Wen Baizhi also has a solution to this problem.
"I wonder if you've ever heard of the secret technique of face-changing."
Qi He didn't know how many times he was confused: "What?"
Wen Baizhi ignored his reaction and continued to make up stories: "I was indeed seriously injured on the battlefield that year. I was seriously injured from head to toe. Fortunately, I was rescued and found a person with superb medical skills to treat me. He also helped me change my face. My original face was full of scars and it was unsightly. It was that person who saw that I still had a lot of things to do in the future and couldn't face the world with such a scarred face. After obtaining my consent, he changed my face for me. My voice was also damaged by drinking countless bitter medicines at that time, so my voice also changed."
Wen Baizhi made up all these stories based on what she had seen in TV dramas when she was in modern society.
Now it depends on whether Qi He will believe it.
As she expected, Qi He actually began to believe that she was Wen Bai.
All the coincidences come together, including things about him that almost only he knows and that the deceased General Wen knows.
Plus the jade pendant...
If she was not Wen Bai, then who could she be? Qi He didn't know.
"So, are you really Miss Wen Baiwen?" Qi He asked a question, but in his heart it was almost a confirmation.
Wen Baizhi met his gaze head-on: "I am, I am Wen Bai."
This statement is very true.
Wen Baizhi wanted to cry at that moment.
four years ago.
In four years, she had never admitted to anyone other than Si Jiu that she was Wen Bai.
Even when Qi Yan'an forced her so hard, held Si Jiu hostage, and was determined to force her to admit that she was Wen Bai at all costs, she still refused to admit it.
He still insisted that he was Wen Baizhi.
but now.
She is not afraid of anyone's power. She can openly say in broad daylight that she is Wen Bai.
This emotion also infected Qi He.
He is a commander who is proficient in combat.
Many times when fighting, he would carefully feel the route the enemy would take.
So he trusts his intuition very much.
Including now.
He believed that the girl in front of him was Wen Bai.
"You are Wen Bai." This time Qi He finally used an affirmative sentence.
Wen Baizhi: "I am Wen Bai."
Qi He threw the sword in his hand directly to the ground, and then, regardless of the presence of Wen Baizhi and the others, he looked up to the sky and laughed.
Wen Baizhi didn't think his behavior was strange. She just stood aside tactfully and waited for Qi He to finish laughing.
After a while, Qi He finally stopped.
He looked at Wen Baizhi again with a different look in his eyes: "Miss Wen, please forgive me for being so presumptuous just now. It is really difficult for people to accept such a thing for the time being. I must interrogate you more to confirm it."
Wen Baizhi replied: "I know everything. By the way, Qi He, no matter where you are in the future, you must remember that I am no longer the Wen Bai of the past. Wen Bai has long been dead. I am Wen Baizhi now. Also, don't call yourself a subordinate in front of me. Just call me by my name."
"After all, if someone with ulterior motives overheard us by mistake, it would be bad for both you and me. And Qi He, I won't hide it from you. The only people in this world who know that Wen Bai is still alive, besides the three of us present here, are the subordinate who took me to treat my illness at that time and the doctor who treated me."
Qi He clenched his fist and said to her: "I know, I didn't think it through."
Wen Baizhi was very satisfied with the results achieved today.
She still had a lot of things she wanted to ask Qi He, but Qi He had already suffered so much stimulation today, and she didn't think it was a good idea to ask him now.
"The purpose of my coming here today is to let you know that I am still alive and to make you believe that I am still alive. Now that everything has been done, I will go back first and come to see you next time." Wen Baizhi said.
Qi He hurriedly asked, "When will Miss Wen come next time?"
Wen Baizhi asked: "How do you know I will come again next time?"
Qi He pursed his lips and smiled: "Miss Wen must know what the jade pendant in your hand means to the Wen family."
Wen Baizhi wondered if Qi He was still testing her.
But she still replied honestly: "It means that whoever gets this jade pendant can freely deploy the rest of you Wen Family Army members."
After hearing what she said, Qi He almost put aside his last doubts: "It's just like what Miss Wen said, so I guess Miss Wen hasn't come here with the jade pendant in the past few years. Now she suddenly comes again. She must want to do something with the rest of us."
Wen Baizhi now also feels that it is not easy for Qi He to sit in his current position.
He was able to guess her purpose at once.
"You are right. I won't beat around the bush. I came to you now because I do need your help with something. But I may not need your help forever. It is more likely that I will need your help soon."
What she said sounded like a tongue twister, but Qi He still understood it.
In fact, no matter whether he understood or not, the obedient nature of a soldier has always been deeply engraved in his heart.
"Miss Wen, please rest assured. You came to me with this token, which shows that you trust me very much. I will not let you down. In the future, no matter what you want me or my brothers to do, we will do our best. This is my promise to you."
"Okay, thank you Qi He. Regardless of whether I need your help in the end, I have to thank you."
Wen Baizhi said this with true feelings.
Before Qi He was about to send them out, he asked, "Miss Wen, is it OK for me to know about your return? Don't tell anyone else."
Wen Baizhi nodded: "It's better if fewer people know about this kind of thing. As for other people, don't tell them. It's enough for you, the leader, to know."
Qi He nodded with a determined look.
When they were leaving, Qi He personally escorted them to the carriage: "Miss Wen, you can come to me if you have any problems. We are always here."
Wen Baizhi also said: "We live in the inn not far from here. If you need to find me for anything, you can go anytime."
The two of them exchanged their contact addresses, so that they could communicate at any time in the future.
Then Si Jiu pulled Wen Baizhi into the car and drove away safely.
In the carriage, Wen Baizhi panted and leaned against Si Jiu's slightly cold arms, reviewing:
"Zijin, you don't know. I was scared to death just now. I wasn't afraid that he would hurt me. I was afraid that he wouldn't believe that I was Wen Bai."
Si Jiu stroked her hair and said, "You have done a great job just now. You have gradually convinced Qi He that you are Wen Bai. In fact, the tokens you carry with you and the details you know have already proved that you are Wen Bai. It is only a matter of time before he believes you."
"I think so too." Wen Baizhi was complacent.
