I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Chapter 390 I just want a promise

There was another agonizing silence, and then Jin Xin stepped forward and forced himself in front of her.

"Haha." He chuckled, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "Whether you are a young eunuch or a lady, you can tell by sending someone to check. Does Mrs. Jing really want to force Jin to go to that point?"

He didn't give Luo Qianhuai a chance to speak, and continued to say solemnly: "Madam, you should know that guarding the palace and guarding Xijing is all the responsibility of Jin. However, Madam Jing first robbed the prison of Tingwei Mansion, and then led people to break into The Forbidden Palace doesn’t take Jin seriously at all, should you give me an explanation?”

Luo Qianhuai's eyes flashed slightly, and he probably guessed that the reason why the other party dared to be so stubborn must be that he had exposed some flaws at some point.

But it doesn't rule out the possibility that he is still deceiving himself.

In fact, as long as you use the system to quickly leave and then restore your identity as a woman, the opponent will find out that there is no verification.

But in this way, Huang Naiguan, who had just sent him out of the palace, would definitely be implicated, and possibly even Jiao Mu and Jiao Zuo.

Therefore, Luo Qianhuai did not want to ask for help from the system unless he had to.

She simply raised her head and looked directly at Jin Xin: "It turns out that the general mistakenly mistook the young one for the assassin who broke into the palace the day before yesterday. If the young one really has the skills of the Sword Sect, then at this moment the general is repelling everyone, isn't it? Are you seeking death?"

This sentence already sounded a bit threatening, but Jin Xin was not afraid at all and did not take a step back.

"Madam Jing," he said softly, "I am standing right here, general. If you dare to take action, you will never get out of Xijing alive."

Luo Qianhuai took another step back, with his trademark lotus smile on his face: "Although the general was suspicious, he did not lay a dragnet. Instead, he met with me in private. It can be seen that he had other plans and there was no need to bring the assassin to justice. Let’s use the law?”

"The eldest lady is really smart. No wonder she has achieved such achievements at such a young age. It's just a pity." Jin Xin's face showed some sincere regret.

Luo Qianhuai didn't ask any more questions, just waited silently for him to continue, his apricot eyes as calm as the sea. Jin Xin stared at her blankly for a while, then looked away with difficulty.

"Jin can ignore what happened the night before." Jin Xin said slowly: "As for arresting the assassin, I will naturally give His Majesty an explanation."

Luo Qianhuai suddenly looked up and saw a solemn look on his face: "Of course, I want a promise from Mrs. Jing."

"The general's position is so high and powerful that there are things beyond his power?" Luo Qianhuai did not respond immediately.

"Yes." Jin Xin said quietly: "And there are not many."

"No matter whether he was the assassin that night or not, as long as he can do whatever he can and it does not violate justice and morality."

When Luo Qianhuai said this, he suddenly remembered what Jing Yuan said about seeing each other the night he left Jing's family, and he immediately put back the words that were on his lips.

Could it be that Jin Xin was surprised because of her, so he asked, "How can I be sure that the young one is Mrs. Jing before I ask the general?"

Jin Xin stared at the pair of familiar almond eyes, and there was a little warmth in his voice. "Eyes." He said warmly, "Madam Jing's eyes are very similar to those of my wife. Unfortunately, many years after she left, I can only vaguely regain her former appearance through you."

I see. That night in prison, although she was wearing a mask, it couldn't cover her eyes and she was still recognized by Jin Xin.

"So you have met me before." There is no point in making excuses anymore, Luo Qianhuai simply stopped covering up: "There was a rumor in the palace that you wanted to renew your relationship, and you deliberately let it go?"

"That's right." Jin Xin nodded first, then shook his head melancholy: "So it's a pity. If Mrs. Jing is just a doctor, Jin will be willing to hire you with three matchmaking and six gifts."

Luo Qianhuai thought for a while and realized that Jin Xin's position was definitely not suitable for marrying a wife with excellent martial arts skills and unpredictable whereabouts. He felt relieved immediately and had a smile on his face: "So what the general said before The promise mentioned does not refer to the marriage contract.”

Jin Xin nodded and said in a deep voice: "It is indeed not the case. Madam, you may have heard that my wife left behind a son who was very naughty since he was a child."

Luo Qianhuai not only heard about it, but also saw it before, and could even guess his fate. But at this moment, when she suddenly heard Jin Xin mention this matter, she had a very bad premonition in her heart.

Sure enough, as Jin Xin spoke, his eyes focused on her face, staring at her for a moment: "Although Jin wants to discipline her, he can't help but feel unbearable every time he thinks of his mother, so much so that he can't bear it." He has developed a domineering temper. I heard that Madam Jing had offended Quan Zi many times when she was in Changling County, so Jin made amends for Quan Zi here!"

He cupped his fists and bowed to Luo Qianhuai, his body almost parallel to the ground. Luo Qianhuai felt guilty and quickly stood aside, refusing to accept his courtesy.

"General Jin, please get up quickly. Da Langjun is naive and has been tempted by bad people, so he has just done something that is inconsistent with his status. But things have already changed at this time, and I am not a stingy person."

She said it plausibly, but in fact her heart was already filled with waves, and she was very worried that Jin Xin knew something.

Jin Xin straightened up and sighed: "To be honest with you, Madam, Quanzi has been out for fun since the Lantern Festival, and he and several of his followers have disappeared."

Luo Qianhuai had already guessed that he would talk about this matter, and had already prepared a suitable expression. At this moment, he looked up at him with a surprised look on his face, without any flaws.

"General Jin is in charge of the northern and southern guards. It is not difficult to find someone." She said with a pair of innocent almond-shaped eyes.

Unexpectedly, when Jin Xin heard this, there was anger on his face: "How does Mrs. Jing think of this general? The north and south guards are specially designed to protect Xijing, how can they be used for personal use?"

A trace of genuine astonishment appeared on Luo Qianhuai's face, and he said humbly: "General Jin's distinction between public and private affairs is really admirable."

Jin Xin's anger came and went even faster, and now his expression was as usual. "So after Jin met Mrs. Jing that night, he had a heartless request."

Alarm bells rang in Luo Qianhuai's mind. Could this man blame Jin Dalangjun's death on himself just because he saw that he was good at martial arts?

But if you think about it, it doesn't matter. If Jin Xin was really hostile to her, he could justifiably send out a large team of people to kill her as long as he revealed her identity as an assassin, so why go to such trouble to arrange a meeting.

"General Jin, please speak." The more Luo Qianhuai thought about it, the calmer his face became.

"Jin wants to ask Mrs. Jing to help find the whereabouts of the dog." Jin Xin looked quite lonely: "Jin only has this little flesh and blood in his life, so he wants to see people when he is alive and a corpse when he dies - Mrs. Jing may Yes?"
