Chapter 97 Follow the choices it gives, or...
The rotating memories flow into my mind one by one. Every time I come back to my mind, every clue is engraved in the depths of my consciousness.
His mind was blanked by the overwhelming amount of past memories. He clenched his teeth, but still let out a sob that he couldn't suppress.
At the same time, the emotions that came with it began to accumulate, and the heart was beating extremely fast due to overload.
As if all his strength was drained away, his knees slammed to the ground, but he did not bother to get up. He just bent over and clutched his clothes tightly, swallowing the subsequent groan along with the surging blood.
"It will be easier to control it if you let it out," it warned. "Don't waste too much time."
So he took a slow breath, and then expelled the oxygen in his chest with a silent shout.
This method did help him calm down quickly, but his unstable breathing caused him to cough out the suppressed scarlet liquid.
"General?" Yunqi outside the door asked through the closed door.
Jing Yuan didn't even know when they came, so when he heard this, he subconsciously supported himself on the stool next to him and stood up, trying to speak as steadily as possible, "Nothing."
After he finished speaking, he realized that the fact that they did not rush in at the beginning already proved that this was Jing Yuan's special order.
The strength he had forced himself to hold on was completely exhausted at this moment. When he thought that Jing Yuan would always be there for him no matter what happened, he simply lay on the ground and judged in his heart: In fact, you didn't give me any choice at all.
"Of course you can choose." It said indifferently, and then raised its voice as if it was irritated by such an answer, "Anyway, they never blame you, and you took advantage of it, didn't you?"
"......" He was silent, and then whispered, "I never thought of using them."
In contrast to his hesitation, it quickly asked, "How come I didn't know you were so hypocritical? Or do you think this thought would make you feel better?"
He closed his eyes, but couldn't help but sneer, and asked back, "What about you? Why do you always look at these things from a third-party perspective? Or do you think this perspective will make you feel better?"
It paused for a moment, then sneered, "If you couldn't bear it, why would you ask me to guide you as a third party?"
He just followed the result and asked: "So you want to deny that you are running away?"
It failed to respond again. Or rather, it had already anticipated that no matter how it responded, it would eventually hear from him what it had said: How come I didn't know you were so hypocritical? Or do you think this thought would make you feel better?
It knew him too well, just as he now knew it too well.
Boom boom! The sudden knock on the door made Jing Yuan suddenly gather his consciousness, and he subconsciously responded, "Come in."
Jing Yuan pushed open the door and glanced around roughly - there was no second figure in the room.
He didn't ask any further questions, and just stood there, watching "Jingyuan" stand up slowly.
On the contrary, Yan Qing saw the blood on the ground and thought there was an assassination. He hurriedly checked the room for possible hiding places. Then he seemed to suddenly understand something and asked in disbelief, "General, who... were you talking to just now?"
"Nothing." Jing Yuan suppressed all the emotions that had just arisen, and then he softened his voice that was a little hoarse due to coughing up blood, and then added, "Just some echoes of the past."
"Ha." It sneered.
Although he said it was nothing, Yan Qing saw it clearly. In the blink of an eye, he concealed the pain in his eyes. When he looked at her again, there was only the usual peace left.
Yanqing subconsciously turned his head to look at Jingyuan, both worried and asking for help.
But Jing Yuan took two steps forward as if he had not noticed this sight, and finally stopped in front of "Jing Yuan" and asked, "How is it, do you need more illusion?"
The serious gaze fell on him, making Jingyuan subconsciously want to avoid it.
But recalling the figure he had been searching for repeatedly in his memory, he still met Jing Yuan's gaze, and as they stared at each other, he looked deep into his eyes.
His miserable figure was clearly reflected in those bright eyes.
Because of the recent tossing and turning, his hair was a little loose and messy, and the part that was stuck to his forehead was wet with cold sweat and stuck together uncontrollably.
However, Jingyuan was always considerate, whether he did not support her or asked her questions as if nothing had happened.
"It's always good to have more strength." "Jingyuan" responded as usual.
Jing Yuan responded lightly, and suddenly said, "The way you look at me now seems to be different from before."
Then he jokingly compared it to "seeing an oasis in the vast desert, and suddenly feeling hope ahead."
It is not an oasis in the endless desert, but the sun in the lonely world. "Jingyuan" thought so and almost agreed with this, and then asked, "Can I hug you?"
But he just looked at Jing Yuan who was so close, and finally smiled and said, "Well, next we just need to plan and layout and take advantage of the situation."
While they were talking, Yan Qing looked up at the roof as if he had sensed something, then walked out of the room and looked up.
A young man who looked exactly like himself sat on the eaves with a sword in his arms. After meeting Yan Qing's gaze, he simply nodded, with no intention of leaving.
Yan Qing then leaped up and landed lightly beside him and sat down. "Have you heard everything from the beginning?"
"Yan Qing" nodded, "We said before that we would never leave him alone again."
His words were emotionless, as if he didn't care about what happened to Jing Yuan, but Yan Qing, who was sitting next to him, sensed suppressed uneasiness from his calm voice.
It's not that he doesn't care, he's just hiding his fear.
Yan Qing then took the lead in bringing up the topic, "I knew the general was under a lot of pressure, but I never knew it would be this serious."
Even now when I recall Jing Yuan's situation - when he was teaching me swordsmanship, when he was teaching me how to play chess... it seemed as if there were clues everywhere.
While concentrating on the conversation in the room, Yan Qing paid some attention to respond to Yan Qing's words, "I regret it now."
This sounded like a frank start, and Yan Qing listened attentively, but he only heard the other party say, "I should have listened to the pioneer's advice and just packed him up and locked him up."
Yan Qing frowned and said disapprovingly, "The general will not agree."
"Yes, he will never agree." "Yan Qing" believed it without a doubt, but changed the subject and asked, "But if we insist on doing so, will he really resist?"
As if intending to stop such a dangerous idea, Yan Qing answered firmly, "Yes!"
However, after answering, he continued to think deeper along this line of thought.
Even if they resist, Jing Yuan will not be willing to hurt them. This concern determines that he will not take any tough measures.
Yan Qing's breathing quickened for a moment, "Do you want to..."
"Of course not." "Yan Qing" tilted his head and looked down, as if his eyes could see through the layers of tiles and see inside. "I just can't help but think so, that's all."
"Yan Qing" couldn't help but think about it, especially when he heard the painful coughing of blood and the sharp self-questioning inside.
He couldn't even pat Jingyuan on the back and tell him gently: You have never used us in the slightest.
But as long as Jingyuan cannot overcome the hurdle in his heart, no matter who's comfort he offers, it will be ineffective, and it will only intensify the unspoken guilt in his heart.
"Yan Qing" exhaled deeply, gritted his teeth and said, "If you ask me, he just has too high a sense of morality. I'm so angry that I want to kill Chuan Boyue Gu Hai directly!"
The sudden turn of events made Yan Qing pause for a moment, and then he continued to dissuade him, "This kind of thing is even more unacceptable."
"I know. After all, this will only cause trouble for them." "Yan Qing" sighed, as if he couldn't bear it, and also as if he felt regretful. "Speaking of which, the last time "Dan Heng" and "Ren" were able to return safely from Boyue Ancient Sea, it was all thanks to Jing Yuan's advance notice to others. ”
Although he said it calmly now, when Yanqing heard Danheng and the others recounting the story, his first reaction was: I didn't expect that there were people sent by Jingyuan inside Chiming!
On second thought, I think it makes sense. After all, Chiming lives in the ancient sea of Boyue and is not isolated from the world.
Even a Chi Ming has to go ashore to make a living. From small things like food and clothing to big things like rules and laws, which one can be separated from Jing Yuan's decision?
What's more, Chi Ming will also take the civil service exam. If Jing Yuan cannot find a few reliable ones among them, then it can only be said that Chi Ming is really hopeless.
Thinking of this, Yan Qing said to himself, "So, the Chiming clan will not be united either? If we can let them fight each other..."
"This is a crime of breaking up the alliance." Yan Qing reminded at the right time.
"You're right." Yan Qing nodded in understanding, and then changed his train of thought and continued thinking, "So the person who goes to sow discord has to be a vidyadhara. This will be their internal affairs."
"Even if they really have many factions, it is not so easy to separate them." Yan Qing reminded again.
This time, "Yan Qing" was silent for a long time.
Just when Yan Qing thought he had finally given up on this plan, he heard him say, "It's not impossible. After all, what they want is too obvious. But I will never do that."
Just don't know how to do it, not can't do it? Yan Qing looked at him in surprise, and only then did he realize the difference between himself and the future from his calm demeanor, "So, you can do it?"
"I can't." "Yan Qing" refused decisively, and then looked at him and said word by word, "No one can."
Although he didn't know what the method would be, Yan Qing keenly noticed from the undisguised intention of protection that this method might be related to "Jing Yuan", and it was even very likely that "Jing Yuan" had done it before.
And he is used to using himself as bait.
With this association, Yan Qing couldn't help but worry, "But if the general insists on doing this..."
Unexpectedly, Yan Qing said with great certainty, "No."
At that moment, Yan Qing could hardly tell whether these words meant that the general would not do this, or that they would not give the general the opportunity to do so.
