Changed again! Changed again!
All the events were brought forward. If Xie Jingxing went to war now, would he end up dead just like in his previous life?
Shen Miao originally wanted to save the Xie family for the future to deal with the royal family. Would the fate of some people still follow the trajectory of the past? Was the arrogant young man with red lips, white teeth, and beautiful eyes really going to walk towards his demise?
When Xie Jingxing noticed Shen Miao’s abnormal expression, he did not find it suspicious. His eyes flickered and he said, “You seem to be very worried.”
At this moment, Shen Miao was not in the mood to joke around. She looked at him and said, “You… are you going to lead the Xie army?”
“Pay attention to the soldiers in the Xie army and the people around you,” Shen Miao said word by word. At first, she was a bit awkward saying that, but in the end, her tone gradually became serious. “The wind and sand in the northern border are strong, and the armor of the soldiers is heavy. No matter what, don’t take off the mirror armor.” In her previous life, Xie Jingxing’s heart was pierced by thousands of arrows. Perhaps, wearing the mirror armor would save him. More importantly, Shen Miao felt that Xie Jingxing’s death was too strange. How could the young general, who was outstanding in battle tactics, lose so miserably? In addition, later on, she gradually understood the situation and knew that the royal family was cracking down on the big families. There might be some people from the royal family hiding in the Xie army, and the death of Xie Ding and Xie Jingxing might be a conspiracy by the royal family.
Shen Miao was focused on the big picture, but she did not know that with her current relationship with Xie Jingxing, they could by no means be called friends. Therefore, her words of concern seemed a little strange.
Xie Jingxing was also surprised by her reaction. He suddenly smiled and approached Shen Miao, lowering his head slightly. He was extremely close to Shen Miao, his eyes smiling as he teased, “Are you so concerned about me?”
Shen Miao was engrossed in her thoughts and did not notice that he was already so close to her. Suddenly, she came back to her senses and looked at Xie Jingxing with her big eyes.
Xie Jingxing was caught off guard by that innocent look of hers. He was a ruthless person and only regarded the Shen family as his chess piece. He knew that Shen Miao was scheming and her methods were uncommon, and she was definitely not as harmless as she looked on the surface. However, sometimes, he felt that she was just a little girl who did not understand anything.
Xie Jingxing quickly shook off the thought. He took a step back and said, “The Shen army is too powerful. It’s not a good thing.”
Shen Miao replied, “It’s my mother who was summoned to the palace today, and the people who summoned her were Consort Xu and Consort Dong.” When she said Consort Xu and Consort Dong, her expression was not respectful, as if she was talking about two ordinary people. Xie Jingxing was used to Shen Miao being so calm.
He said, “Retreat.”
“Retreat?” Shen Miao asked.
Xie Jingxing stopped talking. In the end, he still gave Shen Miao a hint. If Shen Miao was smart, she would understand what he meant.
Shen Miao lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before saying, “Thank you. May I know when you are leaving.”
“Ten days later.”
“So soon?” Shen Miao exclaimed.
“Why?” Xie Jingxing turned to look at her and said with a faint smile, “Can’t bear to part with me?”
“No…” Shen Miao said expressionlessly, “In that case… I wish Young Marquis a triumphant return.”
“If I get rewarded after I return.” Xie Jingxing said indifferently, “I’ll give you a little something as a gift.”
