Rebirth of the Splendid Phoenix

Chapter 89
Five days have passed since the battle of Xuzhou City, and the team escorting supplies and medicinal materials left behind by Xie Jinhua and Bailifeng also rushed over. The arrival of these people is undoubtedly a timely help, which made the people of Xuzhou City eat another meal. As a reassurance, everything is more orderly, and with Bailifeng helping to watch, the rest of the officials are also doing things carefully and carefully, so Xie Jinhua doesn't need to keep watching.

Xie Jinhua was a little free, so he started to find all the state chronicles and various customs maps of Xuzhou City over the years. These things have been produced year by year, and there are some records from previous dynasties. It is really almost full of a room There are books all over the house.

Xie Jinhua flicked through the pages with all her attention. She was looking for something, not really wanting to savor any book, so she read it relatively quickly. After finishing a book soon, she put it aside casually. In half a day, the house was in a mess.

Qin Zheng pushed open the door with a cane, and saw Xie Jin's painting among the piles of books.

She usually looks enthusiastic and bright, but now she is in the pile of books, with the sun shining on the corners of her lips in her hair, but she looks calm and peaceful.

Qin Zheng's injury is still not healed, and he can't do it with great effort. Although he can read, he doesn't know much, and now he can only understand some letters. Most of the books Xie Jinhua read are old, and many are ancient books. He knew that he couldn't help Xie Jinhua find what she was looking for, so he helped Xie Jinhua tidy up.

Xie Jinhua flipped through a book and threw it away, Qin Zheng sorted out the things Xie Jinhua had read into piles, and put them in a place far away from Xie Jinhua, so as not to hinder her.

Xie Jinhua sorted out the ones she hadn't seen before, and put them in her hand.

Xie Jinhua was so engrossed in reading just now that he didn't notice that Qin Zheng came in. He flipped through the book in his hand, put it aside, and stretched out his hand to search for the one he hadn't read. Books sorted by categories at hand.

There is also the figure of Qin Zheng carefully arranging and summarizing a book.

Xie Jinhua looked at the figure of the young man moving slowly among the pile of books, as if he was infected with tranquility.

Although a man reaches adulthood early, but at Qin Zheng's age, most of the youths are still in the study, they are from poor families, at most they just help farmers at home, how can they experience life and death like Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng's appearance of being bathed in blood that day seems to be still in front of his eyes.

"A Zheng."

Xie Jinhua spoke suddenly.

"Ok?"

Qin Zheng kept moving his hands, and when he heard Xie Jinhua make a sound, he hummed.

"You, when facing life and death, have you ever been afraid?"

Xie Jinhua didn't know why he suddenly asked this question, but he suddenly wanted to ask.

Xie Jinhua wanted to ask the other party if he was ever afraid or complained.

Even if Qin Zheng was born in an ordinary poor family, he would be happier than he is now.

Qin Zheng stopped his movements and seemed to think for a while before opening his mouth: "I'm afraid."

The boy has been showing his toughness in front of Xie Jin's screen, and he is not afraid of life and death.

This was the first time that he said he was afraid of words in front of her.

The boy's voice was soft, like a cup of tea in the afternoon, warm and soft, different from the gloomy and cold in the past: "The first time I picked up a sword, the first time I killed someone, the first time I was almost killed When I killed, I was afraid."

Xie Jinhua couldn't see the boy's expression at this moment, because his back was facing her.

"I have been afraid and resentful. I used to think, why did God let me bear this, why did I live in a sea of ​​blood and purgatory since I was a child, why other people don't need to work as hard as me to survive, why other people people can be so happy.”

Qin Zheng's voice was a little laughing, which didn't match what he was saying at the moment.

But Xie Jinhua could hear it, it was a real smile.

"But I wasn't afraid anymore. After I met my sister, I didn't feel resentful anymore."

Qin Zheng turned her head, Xie Jinhua saw the slight smile on the young man's face, it wasn't so bright, but it was so beautiful, which made her a little distracted for a while.

Trials of life and death, suffering and killing, if all the suffering experienced in the past ten years was in exchange for a chance to meet Xie Jinhua, Qin Zheng would be happy.

He never uttered these words, but his eyes were telling Xie Jinhua his satisfaction at the moment?

It seemed that getting along with her was his greatest happiness.

Xie Jinhua moved his lips and lowered his head slowly, for a moment he was afraid to look at Qin Zheng.

Glancing at the book in his hand, he took a deep breath and suppressed the turmoil in his heart. Xie Jinhua changed the subject: "Ah Zheng, if there are really some hidden treasures, do you want them?"

Qin Zheng heard Xie Jinhua's meaning clearly: "What kind of treasure did my sister find?"

The map he got from Xu Yanran only marked the approximate location, and the map is still a bit old. Although it shows the topography of Xuzhou City, in fact, many places have been changed by the sea.

If not, then the treasure has already been obtained by the Xuzhou government or the people of Xiyuan, how can it wait for it to be in the hands of Xie Jinhua.

Xie Jinhua read so many ancient books just to determine the location. When Qin Zheng heard Xie Jinhua's question, he couldn't help guessing that the other party had actually found it. At the first moment, Qin Zheng's thoughts were not about the treasure. It has nothing to do with me, but I am a little proud and a little surprised. Sure enough, Xie Jinhua is better than other people.

According to Xu Yanran, the Xuzhou government has been studying this blueprint for several years but still hasn't figured out where it is.

"Do you want to?"

Xie Jinhua didn't answer Qin Zheng's question, but just asked Qin Zheng again.

After reading so many ancient books of Xuzhou City, she got some clues about the location on the treasure map that was too rough and changed too much. Even the treasure, she also had some guesses.

If it is really what she thinks, she can't blame Xiyuan for being so determined to win Xuzhou City this time, and it's no wonder that Xuzhou's state capital directly caused the disaster of killing her.

If that thing is real, it will naturally be a big killer, and everyone will want it, but the first person Xie Jinhua wants to give it to is Qin Zheng.

If he wanted it, she would find it and give it to him even if he would risk the world's displeasure.

"If there is a treasure, I will give it to my sister, but if you want it, sister, you'd better block the news. I will be responsible for sealing Xu Yanran's mouth for you, and those who dig for it must choose carefully. able to be known.”

Qin Zheng is already considering who can cooperate and who needs to be silenced.

His eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes were full of coldness.

For teenagers, killing people is really not such a rare thing.

It is not natural to get used to it.

Xie Jinhua looked at Qin Zheng's serious consideration, and couldn't help being helpless: "I'm not sure what it is, what are you thinking so far."

She is now sure that Qin Zheng is really not a fragile person, even if he had the fear and vulnerability of a child before, now that he has grown into a teenager, he has already become a hunter who is not afraid of anyone.

"Anyway, good things must be given to my sister."

Qin Zheng said a little stubbornly, thinking that although the things were not his own, but the treasure map was drawn by him himself to Xie Jin, he couldn't help but smile on his face.

Although he has martial arts, he is no longer a slave now, but he still has nothing outside his body. The only "treasures" he has are all from Xie Jinhua. To give the best to your sweetheart.

Very pure heart.

He didn't even ask what the treasure was.

Xie Jinhua looked into the young man's bright eyes, couldn't help reaching out and gently stroked the other's head: "Silly boy."

She only protected him twice, but Qin Zheng protected her more times. She just atones for his sins and repays his kindness at the beginning, but now she realizes that what she owed him may not only not be repaid, but more and more. more and more.

How could he be so devoted to her?

Qin Zheng likes Xie Jinhua's gesture of stroking his head, because her gestures are full of pampering, but he doesn't like the other party's call of child.

Qin Zheng began to think about what else to do to make Xie Jinhua realize that he is not a child, but a man who clearly understands what he wants to do.

For Qin Zheng, this question is much more important than the treasure.

Xie Jinhua's eyes fell on the ancient book placed on the table. It was a booklet describing strange events in Xuzhou from the previous dynasty.

In the 35th year of Hongyuan in the previous dynasty, there was the sound of thunder in the daytime in the Bailisang Mountain outside Xuzhou City, and the surrounding area was shaken, and all the flowers, plants, soil and trees were burned. over it.

It's like an ordinary booklet introducing strange things and gods and monsters.

But Xie Jinhua had just read another booklet.

In the 25th year of Hongyuan in the previous dynasty, Wang Zongxin, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was reprimanded by the current emperor, and he took his family and craftsmen to live in seclusion in the mountains of Xuzhou.

That Wang Zongxin, many people in this world have already forgotten him. At most, they can find some records in the official history and unofficial history of the previous dynasty. They know that he is good at making utensils, he is good at making, he is very ingenious, and he is stubborn.

But Xie Jinhua had a deep memory of this person.

Not for anything else, but because when the previous king of Qi was forcing the palace, he took out the things that were said to be from the hands of Wang Zongxin of the previous dynasty. They were some powerful firearms that blew up half of the palace. That's right, half of the imperial guards were also intimidated, and the people of Shengjing even said that King Qi was bestowed by heaven, with thunder and fire in his palm, and he should ascend to the throne.

Xie Jinhua only knew this, and the powerful firearm never appeared again. I don't know whether King Qi was worried that it would be too powerful and would affect his status and destroyed it all, or he only got a few.

Just these are enough for Xie Jinhua to piece together the truth.

Xuzhou City, where the former Sangshan Mountain has changed into unknown, Wang Zongxin's firearms are worthy of Xiyuan people attacking Xuzhou City in the hinterland of the Central Plains.

These kinds of images are connected one by one to form a complete line.

"Ah Zheng, this is our secret..."

Xie Jinhua looked at Qin Zheng who was in a daze and didn't know what he was thinking, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly: "When we have free time, let's go find the treasure together, okay?"

If it was really those threatening firearms, then Xie Jinhua would not hand them over to anyone other than Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng only noticed the key words of two people's secret and together, his eyes slightly bent, like a cat, with some satisfaction: "Okay."
