Half-dead paulownia

(Anling Capital, Xiao Jinmo's home)

The only thing that worries everyone the most now is Meng'er who has not yet woken up. Although Liu Meng's awakening did let everyone breathe a sigh of relief, Meng'er, who was also poisoned, has not improved for a long time. disturbed.

Xiao Jinmo looked at Ziye who was standing in a daze in the yard, such a quiet and peaceful him was indeed rare.

"Why are you lying?" Xiao Jinmo came to Ziye's side.

"I didn't understand what Young Master Xiao was saying." Ziye was a little surprised by Xiao Jinmo's question, but still looked innocent.

"Your eyes have already betrayed yourself." Not intending to give up on her questioning, Xiao Jinmo, who has always been careful, could feel Ziye's feelings, obviously it was the reluctance and nostalgia in her eyes, but she kept it hidden, obviously it was her own Do you want to stubbornly throw the things you care about into the distance?

"Mr. Xiao, I see that you are feeling unwell recently, right? Don't worry about it all the time. If you get tired, you will bother me again. I don't have that much free time." Ziye didn't plan to continue talking with Xiao Jinmo. As the conversation continued, he was afraid that he would be completely exposed if he was not careful.

"I don't know if Ziye has heard of the ghost gate? I don't know why I can always feel the breath of the ghost gate. It's the same feeling that my brother Han'er exudes." Xiao Jinmo seemed to be deliberately asking, but also seemed unintentional. mentioned.

Ziye's heart couldn't help being startled, he became more and more aware of Xiao Jinmo's intelligence.

"Ghost door? I'm afraid everyone in Jianghu has heard of it. It seems that Mr. Xiao has friends." Ziye asked alertly. If Xiao Jin and Mo Guimen really have familiar friends, then he should know Know your purpose.

"Yeah, it's my best friend in childhood. I don't know what happened to make him what he is now, but I'm just a half-life person. Because of my illness, many memories have been blurred, and even Illusions appeared, so I can no longer tell the real from the fake in my world, so I cherish everything I have now, whether it is good or bad, it is all engraved in my life." Xiao Jinmo did not How sad to explain his misfortune, but with a face of satisfaction.

For Xiao Jinmo's illness, Ziye knew best. The pain he endured was hard for anyone to bear. He never thought that this frail man in front of him could last until today.

Ziye knows that soul-eating disease can certainly take a person's life, or make life a torment that is worse than death, but from the diagnosis and treatment of Xiao Jinmo, it can be seen that every time it seems that he is on the verge of life and death, a ghost will swim out of his body. A force was constantly restraining the spread of the disease. From the moment Ziye treated Xiao Jinmo, he was sure that the blood spirit did exist in his body.

As for how the ghost king found out that he was in Xiao Jinmo's body, he didn't know, but the day when Venus transited the sun was getting closer, which meant that the countdown to the time when Xiao Jinmo's fate ended began.

"I'm not feeling well, I'm going back to rest." Ziye felt his heart ache again, turned around and was about to leave.

"If you miss some things, you will never have a chance. Sometimes the choice you think is right may not be the best." Xiao Jinmo said meaningfully facing Ziye who was leaving.

Li Chaoxi, who was reviewing the team, got a little excited when he heard someone whispering something in his ear, and hurried back to his military tent.

A moment before entering the military tent, Li Chaoxi suddenly stopped his steps, straightened his clothes carefully, stroked his long hair, took another deep breath, and then walked into the tent.

"I didn't expect Brother Qin to actually come. I still want to visit you in person." Li Chaoxi looked at the man wearing a dark hat with his back turned to him, and couldn't hide his excitement in his words.

"Brother Li is serious. Brother Li has saved Qin's life. As long as Qin is alive, as long as Brother Li speaks, I, Qin, will do my best and will die." voice, turned around and took off the hat.

The face under the bamboo hat does not seem to have withstood the erosion of many years. The tough face is just like the warrior under the golden and iron horse back then. The torch-like eyes exude the power that can incinerate all things. It also smelled of blood, and the black clothes made the man in front of him full of mystery and strength.

"Are you still alone all these years?" Li Chaoxi poured a glass of water himself and handed it over.

"I'm used to it." She answered simply, but seemed a little lonely.

"Didn't you go find your son?" Li Chaoxi said in a worried tone.

The porcelain cup that had just been picked up stopped before it was put to his mouth. Although he didn't show a strange expression, Li Chaoxi still saw the clue.

For Qin Xiangkai, Li Chaoxi still understands, he will always seal up all his feelings deeply, exists like an iron man, he has never spoken much, and always has a cold expression that rejects others for thousands of miles , If a person can tell his heart from his expression, then Qin Xiangkai is absolutely impossible for you to see through, because he will never reveal any information.

"Perhaps for him, it is his luck that he will never know my existence." He took a sip of the fresh tea.

"It's not fair to him." Li Chaoxi was a little annoyed. He was obviously his own son, why was he so ruthless.

"There will never be fairness in my world." The indifferent answer, even in the face of this benefactor for whom he is willing to go through fire and water, is still the same.

Looking at the man in front of him, Li Chaoxi still couldn't understand what he was insisting on to hide himself so tightly, did he really have no feelings for him?But why do you want to repay my life-saving grace? Is there really no pain at all?But why I can still feel his pain.

"Well, it is really helpless for me to find you. The current little prince asked me to find two people. Judging from his usual behavior, he seems to be a very important person. I must not take it lightly. Now is the key to the battle. Moment, he cannot be affected by these two people, otherwise the result will be unimaginable, after all, war is not a child's play." Li Chaoxi told Qin Xiangkai his worries.

"Is your so-called little prince Anling Yuhao who is the most favored by His Majesty today?" Qin Xiangkai inquired.

"It is indeed him, but he is really not as arrogant and domineering as in the legend. At the beginning, I also misunderstood the rumors outside and thought he..." Li Chaoxi was eager to defend Anling Yuhao, because he knew that Qin Xiang He has an open personality, as long as he denies the person or thing, no matter whether it is a high position or a wealthy businessman, he will ignore it, and any persuasion will be useless.

"I understand him." The three words directly interrupted the long good words that Li Chaoxi was about to say.

Li Chaoxi was speechless for a moment, he couldn't figure out what Qin Xiangkai meant, what did you mean by understanding him?Do you understand his dandyism, or do you understand that he is really a good monarch?Such a simple answer is really his style, but if he doesn't agree, who should he ask for help?

"So..." Li Chaoxi pointedly reminded.

Qin Xiangkai picked up the porcelain cup again, took a deep sip of the tea aroma, "Can you take me to meet you?" He looked up at Li Chaoxi who looked surprised.

"There is no other meaning. Since you are looking for someone, do you know those two people? What's more, let the little prince take a look at the people who acted, and you should feel more at ease." Qin Xiangkai analyzed calmly and methodically.

"Brother Qin is right. It's not too late. Let's see him right away." Li Chaoxi didn't expect Qin Xiangkai to actually agree. Although he wanted to meet Anling Yuhao, what he said was not unreasonable.

(Anling Capital, Xiao Jinmo's home)

Liu Meng looked weakly at Meng'er on the bed, the memory of each scene, the warmth of each sentence, when did this feeling in the heart sprout?And how should it bloom?

"Meng'er, I haven't fulfilled the task I promised you. Remember the promise I made at Mount Sumeru that day? A narrow-minded girl like you will definitely seize the opportunity and use me for a few more years, but you have been sleeping If so, I will regret it. I, Liu Meng, have been with the prince since I was a child. How could I be threatened by a little girl like you? Wake up, although I am stupid, only at this time can I hear my non-stop nagging. Am I annoying? Then wake up and teach me a lesson." Liu Meng kept talking to Meng'er, at this time he seemed to be no longer that introverted guard, but more like a mother-in-law.

"It's really... really annoying." A faint voice suddenly sounded in my ear.

"You think I'm annoying, then you..." The unresponsive and casual answer, still looking eager to see through, suddenly realized that the answer just now was actually Meng'er.

"Menger! Is Menger really you? Are you really awake? I thought I would lose you forever, I thought I would never have another chance." Liu Meng couldn't believe his ears and shouted loudly road.

"You are so annoying, how can I sleep well?" Meng'er still said in a resolute tone, but the corners of her eyes were already filled with tears.

"Thank you, thank you for waking up." Liu Meng gently wiped the tears from the corners of Meng'er's eyes, the tears with temperature were so warm.

"Is talking still considered talking?" Meng'er stretched out her jade finger, and gently held Liu Meng's hand that wiped her tears.

"Well, you can command me for the rest of your life without any threats. I do it voluntarily." Liu Meng became gentle.

(outside the door)

Hearing Liu Meng's shout just now, Ziye hurried to the outside of Meng'er's room without delay, but did not go in for a long time.

"It's impolite for you to eavesdrop like this." The sudden voice really startled Ziye.

But as soon as I heard it, I knew it was the ghost moon who came and went without a trace. Thinking about his more and more presumptuous words and deeds recently, it is really annoying, even though he is not in his territory now, nor is he taking advantage of him. , but... But it seems that there is really no reason to discipline him.

"Why don't you go in and have a look, Meng'er is awake, right? Are you peeking at the sweetness of the young couple and feel a little jealous?" Gui Yue said in a playful tone.

"Hmph! I'm just passing by. It will be a matter of time before I wake up. My medical skills are not enough to let her die. Why do I have to go in and have a look? It's boring." After finishing speaking, she turned and left.

"You really have a fiery temper that can't be changed. Let's see who is willing to marry you in the future." Guiyue couldn't help sighing as she watched Ziye's back.
