Xie Quan was a little concerned about what Marshal Ji said.

Marshal Ji said that if Prince Saroyan knew about his relationship with Ji Cheying, he would get into trouble.

But what is his relationship with Ji Cheying?

This question is not for Ji Cheying, nor for that Marshal Ji.

Instead, Xie Quan was asking himself.

After knowing Ji Cheying for so long, he didn't seem to have asked himself this question.

For a long time, the only person in his life who could be called 'close' was Anna.Not to mention that Anna has betrayed her now, or that she had other plans for herself from the beginning, Ji Cheying is not like Anna.

Ji Cheying and himself are not in an exchange of interests, and Anna is not as close to him as Ji Cheying.

close.

Standing in the street with that huge backpack on his back, Xie Quan was suddenly taken aback.

He never thought that he would use this word to describe a person.

"Major General, this is the record of Marshal Ji's recent whereabouts. Marshal Ji has mostly participated in various meetings of the military headquarters recently, and occasionally attended court meetings in the palace. The rest of the time he went to drink afternoon tea alone. There are too many abnormalities." After Joseph finished his report respectfully, he handed over the report recording Ji Danhong's latest developments to Ji Cheying.

Seeing Ji Cheying looking at those pages meticulously, Joseph's face was troubled.

Without raising her head, Ji Cheying said, "Speak up if you have something to say."

Joseph stood upright, just like his personality. He thought about it for a while, and then asked: "Why did the major general investigate the marshal? To inquire about the whereabouts of the marshal of the empire, if it is known to others, it is not a small crime."

His eyes had quickly scanned the content, and as Joseph said, there was nothing unusual about it.

As soon as Ji Cheying put the report on the table, he turned around and walked towards the back of the table. While walking, he asked, "Joseph, what kind of person do you think Ji Danhong is?"

Joseph was taken aback for a moment, he didn't dare to judge an imperial marshal casually, so he said cautiously: "The marshal is upright and humble..."

Ji Cheying interrupted him, "Don't talk to me about the scene."

"... Marshal Ji is very unpredictable," Joseph said frankly: "Of the three marshals in the military department, he is the youngest in history, but he is also the most desireless among the three marshals. of one."

But if it is true that there is no desire and no desire, how can it be possible to sit on the position of marshal at the age of forty in this wolf-like army?

Ji Cheying sat on his leather chair behind the table, put his hands on the handles of the chair, and rested his chin weakly. He looked at Joseph who fell silent, and raised his eyebrows lightly, "Continue."

Joseph pondered for a second, and then continued: "Marshal Ji has a very good temper, and his subordinates have almost never seen him lose his temper."

"That's just because there's nothing worthy of his anger." Ji Cheying's eyes were vainly looking at a point in the sky, as if looking at the past through a gap in space.

Well said Joseph.

Ji Danhong is a man with deep thoughts and a forbearing personality.

But he wasn't always like this.

Although he and Ji Danhong were biological brothers, due to some reasons, they didn't spend much time together. Even in his childhood, Ji Cheying only heard that he had an older brother.

Later, when he grew up a little bit, he saw this elder brother.

At that time, Ji Danhong was completely different from now. He was dark and indifferent, like a cloud that could not be blown away, like a monster escaped from the ground.

Ji Danhong killed everyone in Ji's family without blinking in front of him, but he also saved him.

Later, he was thrown into an orphanage by Ji Danhong, and Ji Danhong disappeared.

Until a few years later, when he suddenly appeared again, Ji Danhong changed at that time, he started to laugh, and covered up the piercing murderous look in his eyes.

But no matter how Ji Danhong changed, he almost never cried.

Only one time.

When he was eight years old, there was a thunderstorm that day, a thunder dragon pierced through the sky, and the rain poured down from the sky like a waterfall.

Amidst the noisy sound of rain and thunder, he heard Ji Danhong's subdued and painful cry.

It was a cry that had never appeared again.

Ji Cheying respected Ji Danhong and was grateful to him, but he never trusted Ji Danhong.

Because he knew very well how crazy and terrifying that person was, the current Ji Danhong was even more frightening.

A beast that is always out on the run is content, taking a nap in the sun when it doesn't have to.

But a beast that has been imprisoned for a long time has only boundless killing and cruelty in its heart. Once it is released, it will flow like a river of blood.

Ji Cheying didn't care about the world to the extent that it had nothing to do with him how Ji Shanhong wanted to subvert the world.

But he can't hurt the people he cares about.

When Ji Cheying brought Xie Quan back to the imperial capital, he thought that he might be entangled by Saroyan, but he never thought that Ji Danhong would be so interested in Xie Quan.

And Ji Danhong's concern for Xie Quan is more dangerous than that naive third prince's entanglement.

"Marshal, your orange wine." The servant in the palace put the goblet containing the beautiful golden liquid on the tea table next to Ji Danhong, and the sunlight outside the corridor slanted in, illuminating the wine More crystal clear.

"Aiqing still likes this as always." Opposite Ji Danhong, is Emperor Hea wearing a silk crescent-colored robe. This year is his 55th birthday, but he still looks energetic, although he is not wearing a fancy dress , the person is also leaning on that chair, but still has a kind of awe-inspiring momentum, which makes people feel intimidated.

He gossiped and said in a familiar way: "It seems that since I met you back then, I have never seen you drinking other alcohol."

Ji Danhong smiled leisurely, "I didn't expect Your Majesty to pay attention to this, and I am flattered." The glass of wine had golden ripples in his eyes, and he shook the glass gently, the unique taste of orange wine The sweet and sour taste of the wine wafted out, and he said contentedly: "I don't like the bitterness of wine, only this orange wine is sweet and sour, without the bitterness of much wine, so it has always been my favourite."

Emperor Hea shook his head with a smile, "I didn't expect this famous military marshal to be afraid of the bitter taste of wine. If you say this, it won't make you laugh."

"Then I hope His Majesty can keep this secret for the sake of the face of the military."

"That's natural." Emperor Hea looked at the golden glass of wine, his eyes darkened slightly, "Unlike Ai Qing, I don't like orange wine very much."

"Does Your Majesty dislike sweet wine?"

"Orange wine is too sweet and greasy, and loses the character of wine. After all, it will not be in the hall of elegance." Emperor Hea said meaningfully: "So Aiqing should quit this wine as soon as possible, don't let him tarnish Aiqing's identity .”

Ji Danhong paused, and then he stood up under the gaze of Emperor Hea, and poured the wine in the wine glass into the coquettish blue flower bed.

Turning around, he gave a long bow to Emperor Hea.

This is not a ceremony from the military, but a ceremony from the palace.

He said humbly: "If Your Majesty doesn't like it, I should obey."

"Mr. Xie?"

On the street, Xie Quan suddenly heard a questioning call.

He turned around and saw a familiar figure.

The girl was wearing a very ladylike pale yellow dress and a white sun hat. Her exposed skin was as creamy and dazzlingly white.

Seeing Xie Quan turn around, Lilith stepped forward in surprise, "I didn't expect it was really Mr. Xie. What a coincidence."

Those nimble and gentle eyes searched behind Xie Quan, and she asked tentatively, "Is Major General Ji not there?"

When Xie Quan heard it, he subconsciously asked, "Are you looking for him?"

Lilith quickly waved her hand, "Of course not."

Rather, it would be better not to be there.

That major general Ji, like the guard, stared closely at everyone who approached Xie Quan.

If he was here, she might not dare to come up and talk to him.

There were cicadas singing from the trees, but Lilith was still wearing a long-sleeved dress in such a hot weather, which made her look out of place on the street.

Xie Quan asked: "What are you doing here?" If he guessed correctly, this Lilith should be a pampered noble lady, why is she walking on this street alone?

Lilith didn't break out a drop of sweat, but there was a blush on her face, whether it was from the temperature or from seeing Xie Quan, she replied softly, "I went to the library in the morning."

"you alone?"

"Yes...it's more comfortable to be alone." Lilith asked, "Where is Mr. Xie going?"

"Just walk around."

Lilith was taken aback, a little confused, "Walking around casually?" In such a hot weather?

She thought for a while, and then invited: "Mr. Xie, do you want to go shopping? Then Lilith will accompany you."

This time Xie Quan did not immediately refuse, but unexpectedly nodded in agreement.

"Row."

Lilith was overjoyed, and took another step closer, almost to Xie Quan's side, "Where does Mr. Xie want to go?"

"Just go."

Lilith followed Xie Quan, and the two really walked aimlessly like this.

This man and woman are very handsome and beautiful, attracting the attention of passers-by frequently, but neither of them has much awareness of this, just strolling slowly.

Gradually, Lilith found that Xie Quan seemed to be 'walking around'.

Encountering a fork in the road, she walked in one direction without looking at it. At first Lilith thought that Xie Quan knew the way for a purpose, but later she discovered that the other party seemed to have simply chosen a direction at random.

Seeing that she had been walking for almost an hour and a half, and she was getting further and further away, Lilith finally couldn't help but said: "Mr. Xie, if you go further from here, you will be in a slum area, which is not a suitable place for strolling."

Xie Quan paused, "Slums?" He said in a contemptuous tone, "So there are slums in the imperial capital? I thought every inch of land here was expensive."

Lilith replied: "Where is there a place that can be completely bright? Where there is a bright place, there must be a dark and damp corner. Although the imperial capital is not large, and every inch of land is indeed rich, there is always a dark area." There are a lot of criminals here, they all live in the sewers, they never pay attention to etiquette, if we go in alone, we will definitely be in danger."

After Xie Quan listened, he looked at the area in front of him, "Yinqu?" He repeated the word Lilith said, and then he asked, "Have you heard of the Epsilon area?"

Lilith nodded, "It's a place abandoned by the gods, and it's a place of exile for the most vicious criminals. I heard that none of the people who went in can come out."

"God?" Xie Quan laughed, "It's true that each one is more mysterious than the other."

"It's just a place for a group of people who have nowhere to go to find themselves."

Xie Quan raised his foot and continued walking in the direction of the slums. He said, "Go back, you don't have to follow me."

Not far away from them, a woman wearing a hat and sunglasses said to the light brain: "He went to the direction of the slums."

The author has something to say: the update is late...

Recently, because I am very busy and the code words have been outputting, I feel that my brain is relatively dry. I actually had time to update it yesterday, but I was not very satisfied after writing several paragraphs, so I simply deleted it and let myself take a rest. Reading 23333 It’s not so uncomfortable to write today~

If you feel that you are very tired sometimes, don't force yourself all the time, relax and adjust your state~
