Feng Yu washed herself from beginning to end, even washing her hair several times, and it was finally fresh and refreshing. Fei Ying even brought new sheets and quilt covers. Before Feng Yu's hair was dry, Xie Jue
Here they are. Xie Jue and Fang Chuning have always been like conjoined twins, living together and eating together. Except when Fang Chuning went to the battlefield and Xie Jue guarded the rear, Feng Yu truly realized what Xie Xun once said about conjoined twins.
We go together wherever we go.
When Xie Jue came in, Feng Yu was sitting in the tent to dry her hair. She was neatly dressed and her disheveled hair looked extremely unseemly to Xie Jue. Feng Yu couldn't care less. Anyway, it was Xie Xun's face and it had nothing to do with her.
.
"Second brother, is something wrong?" Feng Yu was a little nervous. Because she was still injured, her face was pale and she looked a little pitiful.
Xie Jue looked at him steadily. To be honest, this was not the first time he noticed something strange about Xie Xun. When the four of them were discussing matters in the study, Xie Xun was kicked over by his father and even cried.
Xie Jue was extremely impressed. Later, he noticed several times that Xie Xun seemed to be a different person. However, Xie Jue did not think deeply about it. He only thought that Xie Xun was young and it was okay to be a little squeamish occasionally. After seeing him a few times, he gradually got used to it.
In addition, after their brother rebelled from Kyoto, Xie Xun also had a very restrained desire to protect and monopolize him. Xie Jue suppressed this weirdness, but something was really wrong this time.
In the past few days, all the wars with the Beiman took away all his thoughts, and Xie Jue had no time to chat with Xie Xun. Today, he and Fang Chuning came to see him, just to test it out, but he did not expect to see this scene.
Xie Jue asked tentatively, "Ayu, is that you?"
Feng Yu, "..."
Feng Yu's face was expressionless, motionless, but her heart was filled with turmoil. How could her second brother see it? They obviously haven't had much contact in the past few days, why?
Will she admit it?
"Second brother, what are you talking about?"
"You can't pretend to be Zhixu now, you don't look like him at all." Xie Jue's voice was indifferent, as if to calm Feng Yu's nervousness, "Don't be afraid, I won't tell anyone."
Feng Yu can play the role of the young prince three years ago, but she can never play the role of the King of Qin today.
Feng Yu nervously grabbed her robe, and the piece of fabric on her knees was almost crumpled into a ball by her. Xie Jue looked down at her hands. Maybe Feng Yu didn't notice it herself. She was very used to holding on to that piece when she was nervous.
The fabric was rubbed desperately. Such small movements made Xie Jue more sure of his guess. When did it start?
That year, Zhixu fell off his horse and had his leg broken by Dugujing. For the first time in history, he scolded Fengyu in the tent for a whole day and night. If Fengyu was in front of him, he would have cut off Fengyu's head with a knife, and he was so rebellious.
Talk back to him.
So, it was because of the bizarre exchange between him and Ayu that he fell off his horse and had his leg trampled by Dugujing's horse?
Xie Jue still felt that this was too bizarre. Even though the Northern Barbarians had so many secret techniques, they had never seen the souls of two people interchange.
"Second brother...how did you see it?" Feng Yu knew she couldn't keep it secret, and she was also very nervous. "Zhixu and I are sometimes interchangeable, but this time, for some reason, we can't be interchanged."
"Be specific!" Xie Jue frowned. Maybe he was mentally prepared, but he wasn't even that surprised.
Feng Yu told Xie Jue everything about her first exchange with Xie Xun, several important exchanges, and exchange of news. This time she was in danger in Xizhou, "The news of my death spread all over the world.
I was afraid that Zhixu would be worried and distracted on the battlefield, so I exchanged news with him, but I don’t know why, he hasn’t come back yet, and I’m very anxious too.”
Xie Jue's heart was beating like a drum. No wonder Han Ziqi raided Xizhou and Zhixu knew the news immediately. No wonder... Zhixu did look strange a few times.
All the mysteries have been solved. It is not easy to hide this matter for so many years.
Xie Jue said, "Zhixu was seriously injured. Maybe he thought it would be safer for you to recuperate in Ningzhou, so he hasn't put back the soul-suppressing beads for a long time. He should have gone to Kyoto."
Feng Yu was even more worried about another possibility, "The war situation in Ningzhou hasn't stabilized yet. Zhixu... What if Zhixu didn't do it on purpose? What if he can't come back even if he wears the soul-suppressing bead?"
"Has this ever happened before?"
Feng Yu shook her head, "But the last few times, I feel something is not right. I can't tell you exactly, but something is just not right."
What if I can’t exchange it back?
She cannot be a commander who orders troops on the battlefield, nor can she be a general who charges into battle.
Xie Jue thought to himself that if he knew that Xu was in the capital, he would definitely activate his shadow guards. He sent a message to Kyoto to ask about the situation. This matter was indeed very difficult. He could only comfort Feng Yu first, "Although the war situation in Ningzhou is not stable yet,
, Dugujing suffered heavy losses in these two battles. Even if it comes back, its combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened. It is far less than when the war first started. Although the Ningzhou cavalry also suffered losses, with Fang Chuning and I here, it will not be a problem to defend Ningzhou. You take good care of your injuries. I will first
Send a message to Kyoto to ask about the situation."
As long as the person who penetrates Xie Xun's body is not Feng Yu, Xie Jue will not allow him to walk freely in the military camp or recover from his injuries. If it is Feng Yu, Xie Jue will not be so worried. Knowing that people in Kyoto should behave in a proper way
It is indeed a troublesome thing if it cannot be changed back, but as long as they are all safe, Xie Jue feels that it is okay to maintain the status quo for the time being. He really can't spare the time and energy to solve this matter, and it is not within his ability.
.
What is more important right now is the battle situation in the Northern Barbarians and the battle situation in the south of the Yangtze River.
On the battlefield in Jiangnan, Sangnan's poison formation was very vicious. Xu Zhou and Cui Lansong had led the Ningzhou cavalry to the aid of Lanzhou and fought against the enemy with the Jiangnan garrison.
Cui Lansong just sent a letter a few days ago. The situation is not very optimistic. If Sang Nan's army has real swords and guns, it will not be Yanyang's opponent, but this poison formation is too cruel.
Xie Jue, Fang Chuning, General Xiao Zhou, and General Cui have recently discussed using this poison on the Ningzhou battlefield to achieve a quick victory. Xie Jue does not want to have another peace negotiation with Dugu Jing. The consequences of the last peace negotiation are still vivid in his mind.
He will never allow himself to make another mistake.
He would not accept the Northern Barbarians' request for peace, but would only accept surrender or exterminate them all!
The fact that Feng Yu and Xie Xun cannot be exchanged seems not that important in this chaotic war situation. As long as they are safe, Xie Jue can accept it.
Xie Xun was seriously injured, and Ayu could just recover from her injuries, and there was no need for her to charge into battle.
Before the conversation between Xie Jue and Feng Yu ended, General Xiao Zhou came and brought news that Dugu Jing wanted to have peace talks with Xie Xun.
Feng Yu secretly thought, would the Northern Barbarians admit defeat so soon?
"Peace talks again?" Xie Jue sneered, "He really dares to think that there is no room for maneuver in this matter. Tell Dugu Jing that if he wants peace talks, he should first hang his head on the wall of Ningzhou City for three days, and then I will consider it!"
