After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

Chapter 368 Her Origin

If only he had realized this sooner...

If this accident had never happened, none of this tragedy would have occurred. He would have watched his own sister grow up with a smile, showering her with the best of everything in the world, and making her very happy...

Thinking this, Xie Xing's bloody and mangled appearance from his previous life reappeared in front of Xie Yuze.

His gaze toward Xie Xing became even more sorrowful.

Xie Yuze clenched his fists. Everything was the fault of those damned remnants of the Qian Dynasty. If they hadn't switched the prince with a cat, none of this would have happened.

He wants to wipe them all out in one fell swoop!

"Huh? Are you brothers?" a new recruit asked.

Xie Yuze snapped out of his daze and said with a smile, "Yes, this is my younger brother."

"To my shame, that year the great flood washed away my brother's and my house. After that, my brother and I depended on each other for survival. In the end, when we had nowhere else to turn, we..."

As Xie Yuze spoke, he wiped his reddened eyes.

This wasn't something he was faking; Xie Yuze's eyes welled up with tears whenever he thought about the tragedy that happened in his past life.

Xie Xing looked at him suspiciously for a few moments, and when he met the gazes of the other soldiers, he could only nod and play along: "Yes, yes, I've never had enough to eat or wear since I was a child, which is why I'm so thin."

During this time, Xie Xing lived in constant fear, either following the moon into the forest or staying by Chao Le's side, terrified that Chao Le would kill him.

In addition, Xie Xing's face looked sallow and malnourished after she had cleansed her body of toxins some time ago.

Seeing this, everyone nodded in sympathy.

"Who can argue with that? If they weren't desperate, who would join the army?"

"Yes, yes, I heard that the military camp here is privately run by some lord, and we are his private soldiers."

"One careless mistake could be a capital offense!"

"hiss!"

Everyone gasped.

"Is there still this?"

The newly hired staff, unaware of this, immediately began to consider leaving.

The idea had barely surfaced when it was rejected: "Don't even think about getting out. Once you're in here, there's no way you can get out. You either become soldiers or you die."

"Is there such a thing?"

“Hey, life is tough these days. You guys have to make a living out there. Here, apart from the daily hard work and training, you get plenty of three meals a day.”

"Besides, if the rebellion succeeds, we will be the founding heroes of the nation, and we might even be able to earn fame and become generals."

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed that it made sense.

"If I could become a general, I'd finally make it in life!"

"Yeah yeah."

Xie Xing and the others listened from the side, exchanged glances, but remained silent.

Saying too much might lead to mistakes, but it might also attract attention.

But looking at these people who know nothing and are completely bewildered, they can sit together chatting and laughing right now, but the next second they might become corpses lying on the battlefield.

Xie Xing felt somewhat lost.

War is far too cruel.

In the course of a war, countless innocent lives will be lost.

These are nothing more than a game in which those in power vie for their interests; the winner takes all, and the loser is condemned.

Too cruel.

As a result, Xie Xing found it increasingly difficult to adapt to this ancient era, and he became more acutely aware of how much blood and flesh had been used to build modern laws and peace, how many dynasties had changed, and how many generations had sacrificed their lives for peace.

She misses home.

It wasn't just her own little family, but also the era that suited her to live in.

Xie Xing's mood plummeted.

The system sensed her emotions and offered words of comfort: "After all, you've been brought back from the dead. How could you possibly go back without paying a price?"

As long as you stay true to yourself and complete your mission well, you will definitely return.

go back?

Resurrection from the dead?

After hearing what the system said, Xie Yuze and Jun Lanjin felt a slight ripple in their hearts.

Even though Xie Yuze himself was a case of someone who had come back from the dead, he was still filled with doubt and unease.

What does this mean?

Could it be that Xie Xing, like him, was also someone who had died and been brought back to life?

But what does "going back" mean?

Could this strange thing be related to his resurrection?

Many thoughts flashed through Xie Yuze's mind.

Jun Lanjin, however, thought much more deeply. From Xie Xing's inner thoughts, he learned that she was a person who had been resurrected from the dead, who did not belong to this era, nor to this world, and who even came from outside the world.

What kind of person could possess such power?

Are they gods or demons?

Jun Lanjin rubbed his fingertips, his expression unreadable.

But if they are gods or demons, how could they be worse than ordinary people?

Jun Lanjin focused his gaze on Xie Xing's dejected expression.

I suppressed my thoughts for the time being.

He will find out everything one day.

He was waiting for that day to come.

night.

Xie Xing and Xie Yuze gathered together.

Xie Yuze looked at Jun Lanjin: "What do we do now? Send a message to the imperial court to raid this place and wipe them all out?"

Xie Yuze wanted to resolve the issue quickly.

However, Jun Lanjin said, "It's not that simple. They are not only involved with remnants of the previous dynasty, but they may also have someone supporting them."

"The problems are deeply entrenched, and if they are not thoroughly resolved, the hidden dangers will be difficult to eliminate in the future."

Xie Yuze frowned: "How can we find out the forces behind them?"

He wanted to say that he knew who the traitors were.

They were just ministers who had followed Luo Hanfeng in his previous life. Anyone who hadn't submitted to Luo Hanfeng would have been killed by this man long ago.

But after glancing at Xie Xing, he ultimately didn't say what he was about to say.

To avoid arousing Xie Xing's suspicion.

Jun Lanjin replied, "Of course I know where the money to support their troops and provisions comes from."

"Xing'er, come with me. You will separate from us and go out to gather information, see if you can find out anything."

"Especially the main business."

Jun Lanjin said calmly.

Xie Yuze wanted Xie Xing to follow him.

He didn't want Xie Xing and Jun Lanjin to get too close, but judging from Jun Lanjin's expression, he was determined to be with Xie Xing.

Xie Yuze had no choice but to listen to Jun Lanjin.

He gave Xie Xing a deep look, then turned and left.

It is late at night, the time for the soldiers to rest.

Generally, the people who help these adults with their washing and grooming, or those who patrol, are experienced soldiers who lead newly arrived recruits on patrols within the camp.

These new recruits were also responsible for serving important figures.

They were all doing odd jobs.

Xie Xing and Jun Lanjin mingled among these patrol soldiers.

Because Xie Xing was petite, they could only follow at the very back of the group, step by step behind Xie Xing.

The two were at the very back of the group. After figuring out who lived in each of the tents, they walked on and disappeared without a trace.
