"You want to be cremated?"
Everyone thought death was the same as the soul.
If cremation was used, it would be the same as burning the bones and scattering the ashes. Other than Kang Xintong, this was the first time Her Majesty heard someone ask for it.
"When I was born, it was snowing heavily in Nansheng for twenty years. I heard from the servants that the sky and the earth were one color and the vast expanse of whiteness …" After three consecutive days of torture, if Kang Xintong's willpower was not stronger than that of ordinary people, her soul would have long gone to hell. Her voice was as weak as a mosquito. Her words sounded more like she was talking to herself. "I've seen corpses rotting. Rotten flesh turning into water, maggots eating bones. No matter how beautiful a beauty is, she can't escape such an ending. I was born clean. I don't want to be dirty after death. Isn't it better to be burned? "
Her Majesty said, "As you wish."
In the end, Kang Xintong burned herself to death wearing the prisoner's clothes that were dyed red with blood like a wedding gown. No matter how many evil things this woman did when she was alive, death was like an extinguished lamp. Wei Ci saw her die in the raging fire with his own eyes, so he didn't continue to pay attention to her.
Time flew and years came again. He didn't expect to see her again.
Wei Ci thought that since there were so many changes in this life, Kang Xintong might have died early in the disaster of Nanman. Even if she survived, her fate would most likely be different from her previous life and she wouldn't be able to cause any trouble. He never expected that she would become Lu Zheng's adopted daughter …
Wei Ci, who had always disliked gossiping, was a little curious. He beat around the bush and asked how Lu Zheng had managed to take them in.
"Be a good husband." Lu Zheng looked at him sideways and warned him calmly, "You're a man with a family."
Wei Ci almost choked on Lu Zheng's words.
Just now there was a brotherly love between them. How did they end up hurting each other in the blink of an eye?
He dared to bet that Lu Zheng learned the term "husband's way" from his lord.
"What are you thinking about, Shaoyin?" Wei Ci couldn't help but interrupt to prevent Lu Zheng from letting his imagination run wild. "I only saw that this woman's face is strange and her birth chart is also strange. That's why I asked. Since she's your adopted daughter, she's your junior. Why would an elder have any thoughts about a little girl who hasn't reached marriageable age? Moreover, this matter isn't something to joke about. My Lord will take it seriously … "
Lu Zheng was stunned. He had forgotten that Wei Ci was a quack.
"There's something wrong with Xintong's physiognomy?"
After all, she was his adopted daughter, and Lv Zheng did not want anything to happen to her. If he could avoid it, he would try his best to avoid it.
Wei Ci said, "Beauties are full of ups and downs."
Needless to say, Lu Zheng naturally understood. He faintly sighed and concisely explained Kang Xintong's past experiences.
Wei Ci's words, 'Beauties are full of ups and downs', matched Kang Xintong's previous experience. Naturally, Lu Zheng did not doubt it.
"This is also a child with a hard life." If it was possible, Lu Zheng naturally hoped that Kang Xintong would agree to his request. "You said that her appearance is strange and her birth chart is also strange … Could it be that there are other variables? Was it a blessing or a curse? Will we be able to turn misfortunes into blessings in the future? "
Wei Ci said, "She met a benefactor and her destiny changed greatly. It will be better than what she had originally planned."
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Now that you've said that, I'm relieved."
While they were talking, Kang Xintong had already prepared dinner. Wei Ci conveniently stayed behind to freeload.
After dinner, the sky gradually darkened. Kang Xintong stood up to send Wei Ci off on behalf of her adoptive father, Lu Zheng. She was so nervous on the way that she could not speak.
After she watched Wei Ci leave, she hurriedly went to look for her adoptive father.
"Adoptive father, are we going to stay here from now on?"
She had thought that she would be imprisoned, but she did not expect that the treatment after being captured by the enemy was better than staying at An Cui's side.
If she had known earlier, she would have continued to persuade her adoptive father to change jobs.
Lu Zheng felt that it was better to have a short term pain than a protracted one. He frowned and drank the bitter medicine.
He did not know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the medicine prescribed by the doctor was much more bitter than the medicine he had drunk before.
"You look rather happy?"
Lu Zheng could not help but remind his adoptive daughter. They were now prisoners, what was there to be happy about?
Kang Xintong said, "I observed that Martial Uncle. He has a good temperament. If we become colleagues in the future, wouldn't it be much better than before?"
Lu Zheng was speechless.
How much did his adoptive daughter despise her lord, An Cui?
After a while, Kang Xintong cleared the dishes for him and suddenly thought of something.
"Adoptive father, adoptive father!"
"What's the matter? Speak! "
Kang Xintong asked, "Did Master Lanting personally come to recruit you?"
His adoptive father was a talented person with a strong presence. The Master of Lanting would surely come personally to show his respect.
Lu Zheng turned to look at his adoptive daughter, an indescribable feeling in his heart.
What if the child always sided with an outsider?
It was fine. She was most likely retarded. A beating would be enough.
Of course, Lu Zheng could not bring himself to beat the child. He could only suppress his feelings.
It was not enough that Liu Lanting had harmed Wei Ci and him. Now that she had become capable, she had harmed his adoptive daughter.
Ha …
What a sentimental and promiscuous woman.
Lu Zheng sneered coldly. Jiang Pengji sneezed loudly. Her eyes looked even more watery. It was the season change, and the number of sick people was much higher than usual. Li Yun and the others were worried that their lord would be affected. They asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell, my lord?"
Jiang Pengji waved her hand and rubbed her nose. "I'm fine. My nose suddenly itched."
Li Yun and the others relaxed when they saw that her expression was normal.
Jiang Pengji said, "Tonight, An Cui and the others will definitely send men to launch a sneak attack. Is the granary ready?"
Li Yun replied, "General Fu has already brought men to set up an ambush. It's guaranteed that nothing will go wrong."
An Cui had already run out of ammunition and food. Jiang Pengji had pointed out a "clear path." An Cui, who had nowhere else to go, had no choice but to take the bait.
"Tell Zhengtu not to be careless. Whether this battle can end cleanly depends on him," Jiang Pengji reminded him.
Jiang Pengji exhorted. She had no intention of getting involved.
Li Yun cupped his fists and said, "Understood."
Jiang Pengji did not personally lead the troops to set up an ambush, but she did not wait quietly in the tent for news either.
Haoqi Getui Zi: Tsk tsk, didn't the streamer say that she would not wander the battlefield?
Yeshen Fengkuang: Judging from the streamer's posture, it doesn't seem like she's going to lead the troops to smash An Cui's head.
The idle people thought that Jiang Pengji was going to return to the martial world. Who knew that she would only lead a thousand troops out to guard a certain mountain valley?
Just as they were puzzled, Jiang Pengji opened her mouth to explain.
