"You don't like it? Is it because the woman's family background is too low? "
Jiang Pengji frowned.
Although Liu Zhao was the son of a concubine, marrying the daughter of a hunter, even if she had saved his life, was too unseemly.
Liu Zhao's expression froze as if he wanted to say something.
But when he saw Jiang Pengji's face, he swallowed his words.
"Do you think I'm someone who cares about my family background? Father liked that girl, and in order to make Father smile, Little Brother married her … but … "Liu Zhao said," But Little Brother has some reasons that others can't know, so I can't marry that girl. I definitely can't! "
Jiang Pengji glanced at Liu Zhao.
Not enough for outsiders to understand?
Liu Zhao avoided her gaze and awkwardly changed the topic.
"A few days ago, I went to visit Master Liaochen in Hejian County. I heard that Master Liaochen is a good friend of Min's mother … "
Jiang Pengji looked down and asked, "And then?"
Liu Zhao laughed dryly. "According to Great Master Liaochen, when Min's official mother was pregnant for the third time, she was disturbed by evil spirits due to the lack of Yang energy in her body. She had no choice but to hide with Great Master Liaochen to find a way to get rid of the evil spirits. Sigh, it's a pity that the monastery is austere and not good for nurturing the fetus. "
After listening, Jiang Pengji further confirmed that there was a hidden meaning in Liu Zhao's words.
He was probably really looking for him to ask for help.
"Mother's third pregnancy? Why don't I know about this? "She pretended not to know." Aren't there only two times? "
Liu Zhao gulped nervously.
"Sister ~ ~ don't scare little brother ~ ~"
If Jiang Pengji really didn't know about this, Liu Zhao wouldn't be seeking protection today. He would be courting death.
Jiang Pengji did not tease him and continued to ask.
"What else do you have to say?"
Liu Zhao's eyes darted around and only spoke after a while. His words were also intermittent. "This little brother has learned a lot of Zen philosophy from Master Liaochen. When she heard him talk about evil spirits, she asked him if there were really evil spirits in the world. What the Great Master said was true. Evil and humans existed side by side in the world. If the human body lacked Yang energy, it was easy to be targeted by evil. As he spoke, Grandmaster began to talk about some interesting things. There's a story that left a deep impression on me. "
Jiang Pengji sneered at Liu Zhao.
To be fair, Liu Zhao was truly pitiful.
If not for his family background, he might have had some achievements.
"What story?"
"A story passed down from the Sixteen Kingdoms period." Liu Zhao struggled internally for a while before he said hesitantly, "It's said that the soul of a certain noble goddess left her body and roamed the King of Hell's palace at night. She was captured by the Black and White Impermanence, and the judge said that she couldn't return to the mortal world before her time was up. She refused to accept it and asked the judge why she was wrongly judged. The judge said that her body had already been taken over by a nameless wild ghost, but that wild ghost did not have the memories of a real noblewoman. Because the memories were attached to the soul, although there were remnants of the memories in the physical body, these memories only recognized the noble lady's soul. Unfortunately, in order to assume the identity of the noblewoman, the wandering ghost lied to the noblewoman's relatives that she had lost her memory and took the opportunity to take over her place. "
Liu Zhao's fingers were trembling as he told the story.
He was afraid that Jiang Pengji would beat him up in the next second and kill him to silence him.
Jiang Pengji did not make a move.
"Ah Zhao, are you saying I'm a nameless ghost?"
Liu Zhao's face was pale as he shook his head.
Even if he was given ten guts, he wouldn't dare to openly provoke them!
Although he didn't know who this sister of his was, Master Liaochen also said that he couldn't afford to offend her.
Liu Zhao didn't have any interactions with the original Liu Xi. They weren't close siblings, but the person in front of him had taken care of him.
Moreover …
Sigh!
Liu Zhao thought about the truth he discovered not long ago. He felt a chill on his neck and couldn't sleep well at night. He was afraid that when he woke up the next day, his brain would move. He thought that his hidden identity could provide him with protection, but he didn't expect that he was also an abandoned chess piece on the surface.
As an abandoned chess piece, there was no guarantee of his life.
When the chess player felt that he had lost his value, he would only end up being abandoned.
He cherished his life, and he wanted to live.
After thinking about it, he still took Master Liaochen's suggestion and came all the way to Jiang Pengji.
"Forget it, I'm not an unreasonable person. No matter what you know, if you want to live for a long time, it's better to continue pretending to be deaf and dumb. Even if you really become a pig, I'll allow you to live the rest of your life in luxury … "
Liu Zhao couldn't help but shiver.
Concubine Die was right.
When the gods fought, a small shrimp like him didn't even have the qualifications to be cannon fodder.
Liu Zhao laughed dryly. "Sister, I naturally believe in your words. I'll have to ask you to take care of my father. "
Jiang Pengji rolled her eyes at him. She rolled her eyes angrily.
"If you're so afraid of my father, why did you dare to escape?"
Liu Zhao said, "I had to choose the lesser of two evils. Didn't I have you to protect me?"
Jiang Pengji said, "Stay in the camp and don't run around. The battle at the front line is serious. Don't add to the chaos. "
Liu Zhao secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
He secretly glanced at Jiang Pengji's eyes. He wasn't sure if Jiang Pengji had received his hint.
If she had, why was she so calm and unperturbed?
Judging from her reaction, she seemed to have known the inside story for a long time.
If she really knew, why could she pretend that nothing had happened?
"What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Pengji asked out of the blue.
Liu Zhao blurted out.
"Of course I'm thinking about you. I'm thinking about why you're not afraid …"
Jiang Pengji said, "Superfluous feelings will blind people's eyes and cause them to be blind, so they can't see more concrete things."
Liu Zhao asked in return, "So you don't have 'superfluous feelings'?"
"I don't have that, so I see far more things than you do. People will be afraid of the unknown, but things that they know won't. "
With that, Liu Zhao was even more certain of his guess.
"It's getting late. You should go and rest first. I still have to deal with government affairs. Otherwise, I'll stay up until late at night again."
Liu Zhao left tactfully.
He left. Jiang Pengji didn't deal with government affairs according to his instructions. Instead, she stared at the God Slayer on the sword rack in a daze.
Suddenly, she asked in her heart.
"System, Liu Xi didn't die, right?"
According to Wei Ci's revelation, "Jiang Pengji" didn't obtain the memories of the body's original owner. Because of the language barrier, she wandered outside. Just like the "nameless wild ghost" in the story, she couldn't obtain the body's memories because her soul didn't match. She could only pretend to have amnesia to deceive the body's relatives.
Jiang Pengji was different. She had Liu Xi's memories.
As long as she searched carefully, she could even find a lot of content that Liu Xi himself had forgotten.
Before Liu Zhao told her the story, she could think that the System had helped.
However, Liu Zhao came all the way here to tell her this. The weight was different.
Liu Xi was very likely not dead!
Thinking back carefully, Liu Xi's "death" was quite interesting.
She was just frightened by the bandits. She stepped forward bravely to block a knife for Wei Jingxian. The knife cut her collar, but it didn't hurt her flesh.
After that, Liu Xi had a high fever. After that, Jiang Pengji was pulled over by the System.
Jiang Pengji's brain and spirit were strong. She could accurately sense if there was a strange second presence in a body.
The conclusion was that Liu Xi's spirit had died.
The death of his spirit meant complete death.
