Chapter 80 Why are you pretending to be stupid? !
When Yun Zhao just came back, everyone thought that she would attack Chen Tingting.
But she didn't.
She remained calm and even seemed more patient than usual.
And then.
Xie Jingmo wanted to take Chen Tingting away, and everyone thought that Yun Zhao would stop them.
But there isn't one.
Yun Zhao was so silent.
The silence made people feel that she should just hold it in.
after all--
The dead cannot be resurrected, but the living still need to live a good life.
Chen Tingting's identity is different, and she is not someone that people of Yun Zhao's status can afford to provoke.
Everyone thinks so.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Only Xie Jingmo didn't.
Seven years.
It's not meaningless.
Yun Zhao once showed him his true self.
He understood her coldness and arrogance, and also knew that she would never give up until she was vengeful!
He only had time to return to the camp and change his clothes when Chen Tingting disappeared.
Wiping her tears, the nanny hurried to Xie Jingmo's side and said, "General Xie, the person disappeared in your territory, so you have the responsibility to find him. Otherwise, if the news gets out in the capital, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain yourself!"
Xie Jingmo's cold eyes fell, "Get out!"
As he said that, he mobilized the entire military camp to search.
It started to rain outside, and Mammy became more and more uneasy.
She turned around and looked for Xie Jingmo again, "General Xie, if you really can't find it, why don't you go find Doctor Yun?"
Xie Jingmo stared at the old nanny's face coldly, "What does this have to do with Yun Zhao? Chen Tingting clearly came out of Lincheng, everyone saw it, why would she go to find Yun Zhao?!"
"Really?" the nanny said anxiously, "But Yunmeng just died, and Yunzhao has a cold and arrogant temper. If something happens to the young lady at this time, wouldn't it be too much of a coincidence?"
The words fell.
The nanny felt someone gripping her neck fiercely. "You naughty slave! What did you say?!"
The nanny could barely breathe. She squinted at Xie Jingmo and said, "General, go and look for him quickly. If you can't find him, the people in the capital will hold him accountable, and Doctor Yun might not be able to escape."
Xie Jingmo stared fiercely at the eyes in front of him and warned coldly, "Until the person is found, watch your mouth!"
After saying that, Xie Jingmo threw the old lady aside like throwing away garbage.
Everyone in the military camp was silent. Perhaps they all knew what was happening in their hearts. What was happening was what every man of blood should do, but Yun Zhao was braver than them.
Yun Zhao did what they originally wanted to do but did not dare to do.
Lieutenant General Lin has been in the army for seven years, working for the safety of the capital. Now his wife has died in vain, which is a pain in everyone's heart!
Xie Jingmo glanced at the soldiers who were lazily searching for someone, and his eyes darkened.
He turned to Deputy General Gao and said, "Come with me to Lincheng!"
Deputy General Gao stepped forward and said, "General, this isn't necessary, is it? Didn't we just come back from Lincheng? What's going on? Are you pulling something?"
Xie Jingmo frowned, walked closer, and lowered his voice, "Why are you pretending to be stupid?! Go!"
As they said this, they jumped on their horses and hurried to Lincheng.
It was a rare sunny day in Lincheng.
After Yun Zhao finished the consultation, he sat on the steps at the door with his chin in his hands.
The sound of horse hooves came from afar, messy and violent.
One meter away, Xie Jingmo's horse stopped. He stood high above them, just like Yun Zhao when he first entered the camp.
But this time, Xie Jingmo lowered his tone a little, "Yun Zhao, hand the person over, and I will pretend that this incident never happened."
Yun Zhao smiled.
He leaned back, his expression somewhat lazy, but his tone was sharp, "General, since it has already happened, how can we pretend it never happened?"
Xie Jingmo frowned and said angrily, "Do you know the seriousness of this matter?"
"How serious is it?" Yun Zhao said innocently. "Is it more serious than my sister's death? General, can you tell me what's so serious that you'd have to ride a thousand miles?"
"Yun Zhao! Don't play dumb in front of me!" Xie Jingmo gritted his teeth.
Yun Zhao burst into laughter.
I laughed so hard that tears came out.
Xie Jingmo looked at her solemnly.
It is still the same thin dress as before, but now it looks even looser.
When Yun Zhao smiled, she was like a rose in winter, but now she was covered in cold thorns.
"General, who is playing dumb?"
"I?"
"Or you?"
"Or everyone?"
Yun Zhao's expression was contemptuous. "You are all cunning people, why pretend to be innocent? Who can't see through Chen Tingting's little tricks? Everyone knows that you are the ones pretending to be stupid."
Xie Jingmo dismounted, his lips drawn straight. "I know what you mean, but I will reconsider this matter later. Lieutenant General Lin is my soldier, and I don't feel any worse than you do! Yun Zhao, hand him over first!"
Yun Zhao stood up and dusted himself off. "The person isn't with me, so I can't hand him over."
After saying that, Yun Zhao stood up and was about to go in.
Xie Jingmo took a deep breath, "Yun Zhao, if your elder sister were still alive, she wouldn't agree with your impulsive behavior!"
Yun Zhao steady himself and lowered his voice.
With endless regret, he said, "Yes, but my sister is gone after all."
Xie Jingmo suppressed his anger, turned around and gave a look to Deputy General Gao, asking him to go and persuade him.
But unexpectedly.
Yun Zhao slowly began to speak, "Xie Jingmo, I have been in the army for seven years. From the day I arrived, I never thought about going back."
"I thought about protecting my family, my compatriots, and the peace of all families in the capital. For these, I am willing to give up my life."
"My elder sister...is also willing to go out."
"But I think she probably never imagined that one day, she would die at the hands of the person she protected, or... die in that way. Do you think my sister would regret it when she died?"
Deputy General Gao's mouth, which was about to open, slowly closed after saying these words.
Yun Zhao took a step forward and walked inside.
Xie Jingmo glared at Deputy General Gao angrily, "Yun Zhao always calls me brother, but is that for nothing?! I told you to persuade him, but you played dumb!"
Deputy General Gao clenched his fists, "But, this is too cowardly! I can't stand it!"
Xie Jingmo was furious. "I know! But don't tell me this now. If we can't find the person, do you know what the consequences will be?"
"The Chen family had a daughter in their old age, so they've become spoiled. Because the Chen family is powerful, the Queen Mother tolerated Chen Tingting as her goddaughter. Everyone in the capital knows this, and they're just waiting to give her the title of princess after the wedding! Who do you think you're mad at?! This is someone you can't touch!"
"Do you think the maids in the palace will just come here and make trouble? That's because Chen Tingting is favored by the capital! If you can't find her in the future, do you think the capital will be reasonable with you? If then, the crime of killing all nine generations of your family will be imposed, and it won't just be Yunmeng who will die!"
What Xie Jingmo said was realistic.
Reality is always hard to accept.
Xie Jingmo now understood why Yun Zhao and Duan Jiafei had lost contact.
It turned out that she had been prepared for this.
