Jiang Bei felt a little numb.
In his consciousness.
The purpose of the four guardians is to protect the foundation of China, the four spiritual veins of southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest!
Even though the war in the north was very chaotic, it did not affect life in the country too much, and was far from posing a threat.
The four guardians had never taken action before, and even the hidden families that were dispatched were only a few in the barren land of the north.
None of the hidden families in the mainland have extended a helping hand.
Still not messy enough!
Plus, Gu Shiya is from the Taoist sect...
So no matter from which perspective, Gu Shiya should not know the specific situation in the North!
Facing Gu Shiya's question, Jiang Bei was silent for a moment, but still answered truthfully: "I was only in charge of a department called Shenlong Camp. The entire Shenlong Camp had only a few thousand people."
"And the war in the northern border has far-reaching implications... How can I pacify the war in the northern border by myself?" Jiang Bei smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Gu Shiya frowned slightly, and did not respond to Jiang Bei's answer immediately.
But after a moment, he changed the question.
"So... it was under your leadership that the war in the North was quelled?"
Jiang Bei was completely confused and couldn't understand why the dignified Suzaku Guardian would be so obsessed with this point!
I'm clearly here to break off the engagement, and your disciple clearly doesn't want to get married either... Do we have to go together?
What’s the point!
He was about to continue denying it, but then he heard Gu Shiya ask, "Jiangbei, did you leave the Northern Territory more than three years ago?"
At this time, the twin sisters also cast a suspicious look at me...
There is no woman who doesn't gossip.
Although they didn't know how serious the war in the north was... could it really be settled by a man?
Even the master can't do it.
No matter how good your kung fu is... you may not be afraid of kitchen knives, but you will always be afraid of cannons!
Jiang Bei took a deep breath. He knew that the critical moment had arrived!
Facing the three women opposite him, Jiang Bei nodded heavily, avoiding Gu Shiya's previous question, and answered directly: "Yes, more than three years ago, the war in the northern border was completely over, I was sent to a military court, and then to prison, and sentenced to three years in prison."
"I was diagnosed with ALS, and then I met several of my masters in prison..."
“…”
War criminal identity!
This is thunder!
Especially for an existence like the Four Directions Guardians, it is absolutely not allowed. How could a disciple possibly get married!
"Oh, so that's how it is."
Gu Shiya nodded slightly, her expression calm... but there was a hint of certainty in her eyes, and a gleam of light flashed across them.
Jiang Bei did not see this detail.
He only saw Gu Shiya lowering her head in thought. As for the twin sisters, they were obviously shocked by the identity of this "war criminal"!
His eyes were a little dull.
Not only had he been to prison, he was also a war criminal!
"You haven't answered my first question yet." Gu Shiya said suddenly.
Jiang Bei: “…”
"Or, are you the King of the North?"
Before Jiang Bei could come to his senses, Gu Shiya asked again.
At this moment, Jiang Bei just felt his scalp tingling!
The identity of the King of the Northern Territory was just an empty title bestowed upon him when he was in the Northern Territory. How could it be known by Gu Shiya, the dignified Suzaku Guardian, in front of him?
Could it be that...
Has this woman already communicated with the Xuanwu Guardian?
Jiang Bei didn't know what to say. Old Man Xing on the side seemed to be energized and his reaction was faster than anyone else!
He jumped up, pointed at Jiang Bei, and said excitedly: "It's him, it's this kid! When this kid went to prison, he said he was the King of the North!"
“…”
Gu Shiya raised her head, looked at Xing Yifu, and nodded slightly. The meaning was self-evident... It was as if she was thanking Xing Yifu for his righteous words!
Then, she looked at Jiang Bei again, and their eyes met...but Jiang Bei could no longer look at this woman.
Shifted his gaze.
His intuition told him that it was about to end...
"So not long ago, you were the one who went to the imperial capital and killed a dozen high-ranking officers in the military department. It was you... Oh no, it wasn't you who killed them, it was Xuanwu."
"I talked to Xuanwu on the phone about what happened that day." She smiled, "He said you are a genius that is rarely seen in a thousand years."
Xing Yifu was a little stunned, and then his eyes became brighter and brighter!
Looking at Gu Shiya's smile, then looking at Jiang Bei, that blooming smile...the corners of his mouth were almost stretched to his ears.
Surprised or not? Unexpected or not?
You didn’t expect that!
The corner of Jiang Bei's mouth twitched, and he was afraid that the old man would not smile steadily and his mouth would split!
"So that's how it is..." Jiang Bei nodded reluctantly.
Gu Shiya also nodded and said with a smile: "So if I'm not mistaken... you had a conflict with the military back then, and were framed by the military. In addition, you were suffering from a terminal illness at the time and knew you wouldn't live long... That led to you losing all your military merits and being imprisoned as a war criminal."
"But unexpectedly, you met Mr. Xing and his men in prison, and your strength improved..."
"Even a terminal illness like ALS can't do anything to you."
"If not for this, you wouldn't have been able to go to the imperial capital and take revenge on the hatred from three years ago."
Jiang Bei felt completely numb.
Senior Suzaku, I never thought you had such a powerful imagination!
Although I guessed it right.
But the most important point is wrong!
Jiang Bei gritted his teeth and said, "I went to the imperial capital at the beginning... not because I thought I was strong enough or because this terminal illness couldn't do anything to me."
"But...but I'm going to accompany my fiancée back to her parents' home. Oh, by the way...my fiancée is the eldest daughter of the Chen family in the imperial capital, Chen Ningshuang."
"Besides Mu Yi, I have several fiancées." Jiang Bei curled the corners of his mouth and continued to use his big move!
Isn’t it just a matter of reciprocity?
I have a trump card too!
As he spoke, he also looked at the twins beside him... As expected, after hearing that he had several fiancées, their expressions changed!
Originally, they were somewhat tempted by the words that they were protected by this Suzaku!
Although Jiang Bei couldn't tell what this "intention" was, he could tell that they had listened to it... No matter what it was, he had to pull it back in time!
"If Suzaku Guardian is willing... he can definitely check what happened outside the military department that day." Jiang Bei said with a stiff smile.
"As for going to the military, it was just a matter of convenience... The sixteen people killed by Senior Xuanwu were not the people in charge back then. They were just some people who gained benefits. I haven't seen the person in charge back then..."
Gu Shiya interrupted Jiang Bei with a smile: "Sooner or later you will avenge the military and those who died in the northern border, right? When your ALS is cured and your strength is improved..."
