Chapter 102 The Trial of Love (5)
That night, Shan Zhen came back very late, but he did not stay up late, which made Feng Jingyi very relieved. In any case, she did not want Shan Zhen to be too tired or too overworked.
Later, perhaps due to the reduction of official duties, Shan Zhen's daily life gradually became the same as others; one day, Shan Zhen was going out for an inspection, and Feng Jingyi made an excuse to follow him. Although Shan Zhen refused, he had no choice but to agree. Fortunately, Shan Zhen was alone, and Feng Jingyi didn't mind despite her silence; this inspection was outside the city, and he could only rest on the side of the road. Fortunately, he brought dry food with him so that he wouldn't starve...
"Why did you suddenly think of coming out for inspection?"
While resting by the river, Feng Jingyi finally couldn't hold back and asked. At this time, they were already on their way back.
"Not suddenly."
Shan Zhen answered, but did not elaborate. Feng Jingyi understood and did not ask more questions. After all, she knew Shan Zhen would not answer some questions, and she did not want to embarrass Shan Zhen. So, she looked around. To be honest, she had seen many beautiful scenery, but being with Shan Zhen made her feel that even the most ordinary scenery would become beautiful, just like what was happening before her...
“The scenery here is nice.”
Looking around, one can see a landscape of mountains, rivers and people's homes. There are mountains of moderate size, green fields and rivers. One can also see people working in the fields, forming a beautiful landscape of mountains, rivers and people's homes. Shan Zhen agrees with Feng Jingyi's praise.
"yes--"
Shan Zhen said calmly that as a soldier of the Great Zhou, he was proud and yearning for such a life. He was proud that the Great Zhou had such a peaceful scene, and he yearned for a life without conflict like them. However, how long could such a peaceful life last? And whether it would last for a long time, this was what Shan Zhen was worried about, because in this extraordinary period, riots were possible at any time, otherwise he would not have come here. Thinking of the uncertain future situation, Shan Zhen was full of worries.
"If I could live a peaceful life with the person I love, it would be very happy, right?"
Feng Jingyi, who was not aware of Shan Zhen's worries and focused on the scenery, was also worried, but she also spoke her mind; Feng Jingyi's words also spoke Shan Zhen's mind, how could he not want to? Especially during the time he spent with Yin Yin, at that time he really wanted to be together forever, but it was impossible after all. Not only was it impossible, but Shan Zhen was even more cruel because he destroyed everything with his own hands.
The two stopped talking, both lost in their own thoughts. Feng Jingyi was not surprised by Shan Zhen's silence; Shan Zhen fell into deep guilt for what happened in the past, thinking countless times if he could believe Yin Yin, would everything be different? He was very glad that Yin Yin was still alive, but he could never forgive himself for his doubts in the past. He never thought about how much harm his doubts had brought to Yin Yin at that time, and even pushed her to the brink of death.
When Shan Zhen was lost in his own world, Feng Jingyi turned around and looked at him. Shan Zhen showed no emotion on his face, but the sadness in his eyes was so obvious. It was not difficult for Feng Jingyi to guess what Shan Zhen was feeling at the moment. She knew that the sadness was only for one person. Suddenly, Feng Jingyi felt very envious. She envied the man who could make Shan Zhen look like this. Even if he was sad, at least he had her in his heart!
The silence between the two continued until the end of the break. Perhaps because the inspection was over, Shan Zhen was not in a hurry to travel as usual. He did not want to leave even after the break. Feng Jingyi knew that Shan Zhen was worried about something, so she had to cooperate and stay with him. Time passed by little by little. Even though Shan Zhen was thinking about something, Feng Jingyi did not want to disturb him. After all, this kind of time for relaxation and rest was rare, and being alone with Shan Zhen was even more precious.
Suddenly, Shan Zhen regained his consciousness, and before Feng Jingyi could react, he had already hugged her and avoided the sneak attack of a cold light...
“Who?”
Shan Zhen stopped and shouted loudly. In a blink of an eye, a dozen masked men in black clothes appeared in front of him, holding sharp swords.
"If you want her life, hand her over."
One of the men in black spoke up. Shan Zhen knew very well that the assassin in front of him was no ordinary person. If he had hesitated for a moment longer, the consequences would be disastrous. Thinking of this, Shan Zhen pulled Feng Jingyi behind him. Even though Feng Jingyi was also very skilled, her body had already acted faster than her brain.
"Ask again, who are you? What do you want to do with her?"
"Never mind, we are just following orders."
"By whose orders?"
"None of your business."
"She's my friend, how can I just ignore her?"
Hearing her friend, Feng Jingyi didn't know whether to be happy or sad. At least compared to the assassin in front of her, she was more concerned about how Shan Zhen would react.
"Then why don't you ask her herself? She ran away from her marriage first, and then hurt her future husband. We were just ordered to bring her back. You'd better not meddle in her affairs, otherwise don't blame us for being rude."
He was arrogant and domineering the moment before, but was forced to answer by Shan Zhen's momentum. This answer surprised Shan Zhen. He looked at Feng Jingyi behind him with some Feng Jingyi looked at Shan Zhen with innocence and fear.
"I don't like him, and he...he flirted with me, so -"
Feng Jingyi avoided Shan Zhen's gaze and answered tremblingly. In Shan Zhen's opinion, it was rare for her to show such a side of her.
