escape to the end

This battle took place in autumn. Although most of the flowers, plants and trees on the battlefield have already withered under the continuous artillery fire, occasionally one or two old trees standing alone can be seen on the roadside. Because of the weather, their leaves It has been dyed golden, and if the wind blows gently, it will fall from the branches impatiently, and the ground will be golden.

The boundless fallen leaves are like broken gold, more beautiful than the brilliance of the setting sun.

Zhou Jin also thought the same way before. Life in the military camp was boring. In the days when she didn't have to fight, besides thinking about Lin Chi, she still read books.On very rare occasions, she will relax her gaze a little, and only at this time, she will have a little appreciation for this kind of scenery that seems to her to be very tasteless.

And it was late autumn when she successfully escaped from that battle, the trees had shed their golden coats, and bare branches appeared, leaving only one or two dead leaves shivering in the cold wind.

The desolation of this scene reflects the coldness in Zhou Jin's heart.Therefore, on the way to a certain tent with the senior colonel, Zhou Jin suddenly cut off an old tree standing silently by the roadside.

Seeing those falling leaves, she couldn't help thinking of the young soldiers who died on the battlefield before, and seeing the dead leaves stubbornly biting the branches on the branches and refusing to fall, it was like seeing the young soldiers struggling to survive on the battlefield. my own...

This is also the reason why Zhou Jin didn't take Lin Hen out in autumn alone.

She doesn't like autumn, and since that lesson, the scenes that are no different from the dead branches and leaves in the battlefield can often trigger her memories of that battle, the smell of gunpowder, blood, and various fighting elements often It all jumped into my mind at this time, and with this messy and vivid memory, it stimulated the fierce beast that had been locked deep in Zhou Jin's soul.

That's the dark side that everyone has.

"It seems that you are really angry." The colonel was startled by her, but in a blink of an eye, he showed a clear expression again.He raised his hand, as if he wanted to pat Zhou Jin on the shoulder, but when he saw Zhou Jin's vigilant eyes, he immediately retracted: "Don't get me wrong, I have no malicious intentions."

"You'd better give me an explanation, otherwise I'll let the marshal die as the tree died just now." Zhou Jin glanced at him coldly, her eyes full of determination.

"It seems that you are very sure that I know something." While talking, the two entered the colonel's tent. This is an extreme authority tent with strong secrecy, so the colonel's voice returned to its normal volume as soon as they entered the door.

"Our great marshal probably doesn't even know that I have murderous intentions towards him, but you can stop me before I attack the marshal, then at least you are better than the prince marshal who looks fierce but has only wine in his head , then you should know more." Zhou Jin glanced around the tent, still very indifferent.

She can't fully trust anyone now, but she is still willing to keep to this person who has shown goodwill to her from the beginning, and later fulfilled his promise to fish her out of the cannon fodder camp. Two points of trust.

Immediately afterwards, the colonel showed enough sincerity—after repeatedly confirming the confidentiality of the tent, he entered a string of numbers in the personal communication system on his wrist. After a while, the call was connected, and the empress was dignified An elegant figure appeared in the holographic projection.

She glanced at Zhou Jin standing stunned in the tent, then looked at the senior colonel who was waiting respectfully, and said softly: "Xiao Yu, you have worked hard." There was something else in her eyes besides admiration. The colonel understood what it was, so he respectfully took off his wristband, gave a military salute to the empress, and strode out of the tent.

Because what is going to happen next will be a very confidential conversation.

Not long after the colonel walked out, seeing the expression of the empress still looking gentle and kind, as if she could infinitely tolerate them juniors, Zhou Jin pursed her thin lips and gave a military salute, but she didn't speak for a long time, she just watched quietly. The eyes of the empress, trying to spy out the true thoughts of this nobleman standing at the top of the empire.

"Good boy, I know you may have a lot of doubts, and I also know that you should have your own ideas at this time, but if you still want to believe me, you might as well listen to what I have to say." From the background, she looks like It was in the bedroom, wearing complicated palace attire, but there was no servant around her. This was a bit fresh in Zhou Jin's eyes, because every time she saw the empress in the past, the mother of a country would always be surrounded by a lot of palaces. people.

And under the background of the palace people, she always seemed to have an indescribable prestige, and she looked far from being as gentle and amiable as she is today.

Before today, the queen empress gave Zhou Jin the impression of being mysterious and dignified, she loved Lin Chi very much and her status was very high. Empress Dowager, who had clearly hinted that she wanted her to make progress and made her work hard to climb up, undoubtedly easily left people with a utilitarian image.

But today, looking at the gentleness and tranquility in the empress's eyes, she seemed unable to connect this middle-aged lady who seemed to have no desires in front of her with the former empress who was actively pursuing business.

"Please tell me." Calmly suppressing the doubts in her heart, Zhou Jin made a gesture of invitation respectfully, which was a standard court courtesy, and it was extremely elegant for her to do it.

No matter what role the empress played in this conspiracy, she was Lin Chi's biological mother, and even if it was just for Lin Chi, it was impossible for Zhou Jin to really vent her anger on her.

"You look more noble than most of the nobles." The queen's eyes flashed with admiration, and she continued: "Are you wondering why someone set up such a vicious trap for you to jump?"

Zhou Jin nodded, quietly waiting for the empress's next words.

"It's the emperor, he gave Lin He an order to let you die on the battlefield, so there was this conspiracy.

If you don't believe me, here is a recording of a top secret conversation between our great monarch and his dear brother, Prince Lin He, I can play it to you right now or send you the file directly, you are a smart man My child, I have learned a lot in these years. I believe you have the ability to distinguish the authenticity of the recording. "Lin He is the name of the current marshal, the fourth younger brother of His Majesty Lin Ye, the emperor of the empire. As Zhou Jin commented, he is a person who indulges in sex and sex, and has no wisdom in his mind.

There was a flash of understanding in Zhou Jin's eyes, but then more puzzlement and even anger surged up.

The queen's words are all about this, and she dares to hand over the document directly to her for appraisal, so at least it shows that the queen did not deceive her in this matter, and she doesn't need to go for appraisal, because she has always cared about her studies The empress should be very aware of her learning ability, and she has long known that she is also good at computer science, or...proficient.

But even though she was convinced in her heart, Zhou Jin still accepted the document and planned to check it again afterwards.

At the same time, she suppressed her anger and asked: "Your Majesty, you mean you have known about this plan for a long time? Then why don't you stop it, even remind me?" She was very disappointed in her heart, although the Queen Niangniang seems to have left herself alone, but she can't explain her desperation.

The queen was not unhappy when she heard this, but gave her another appreciative glance: "Because I want to see if you are qualified to marry Chi'er. If you escape, at least it proves that you are really good. If you can't escape , then you will not be able to deal with more dangerous things that you are destined to encounter in the future." Her face was calm and calm, and she even had a smile that hadn't changed, but the words that came out of her mouth But it was so cold, so cold that it made people feel chills all over the body!

Zhou Jin's pupils became deeper, like a dark night with a cold light.

"You mean, you didn't do anything just because you wanted to test me?"

"That's it."

Zhou Jin suddenly sneered: "So, you will watch me lead 120 excellent soldiers into a dead end, and watch them die on the battlefield because of a ridiculous conspiracy and test that had nothing to do with them ?”

The tragic scene of the corpses reappeared in front of her eyes, and she couldn't help feeling extremely sad.

It was she who killed them...

"Their sacrifices are necessary. Die on the battlefield and sacrifice for the country. This is a problem that every soldier should face. Even you, don't you start from the bottom?" The indifference in the empress's eyes finally appeared After coming out, Zhou Jin could see clearly that maybe this noble man never had real kindness in his eyes.

She clenched her fists tightly and squeezed her knuckles. She managed to suppress a little anger and gritted her teeth: "Sacrificing for the country? If this is the case, then I will be proud of them. But the truth is Is that so? Their death is not a sacrifice at all, but a murder! They are just victims of you and the emperor, it is ridiculous, they shed blood for the country, but in the end they became pawns in the hands of you people."

Zhou Jin rarely loses control of her emotions like this. She didn't wait for the queen to speak again, and continued to sneer: "Oh, then what am I? Is it a useful chess piece after all? Am I lucky that I got into your eyes?" , let you value me so much that you would test me with the names of hundreds of soldiers who shouldn't have died?"

She looked at the queen with cold eyes, and her aura was not inferior to the queen who had been in power for a long time. With that extremely beautiful face, she was as inviolable as a banished fairy.

Lin Chi: It feels so familiar, this student looks like my wife, ah!don't want……
