Reclaiming the Way of the Empire

Chapter 61 Betrayed 1

Xi Honglei dimmed the lights in the whole ward a bit, turned on the warm light, then helped Li Ting up, and built a cushion with pillows.Taking the cup of warm water from Xi Honglei, Li Ting sips it in small sips, blinking his eyes and urging Xi Honglei to start telling her past stories.

Xi Honglei seemed to hesitate for a moment before speaking, and then confirmed again: "This is not a good story, are you sure you want to hear it?"

Li Ting tilted his head and smiled slightly: "If you don't listen, how can you be a lobbyist in the future?"

Xi Honglei shook her head, knowing that pedestrians would not let go of their hatred so easily, but then saw the ring on Li Ting's finger—maybe if Li Ting tried to persuade her, it would be different.

"Probably, when we were still at Campbell Military Academy..."

Xi Honglei spoke slowly, but gradually outlined everything that she, also pedestrians, Yang Dajiang, and Xie Junhuai experienced at Campbell Military Academy: young and promising, making correct decisions.

——It was everyone's evaluation of Xi Honglei at that time. As one of the founders of the Beisheng Legion and the legendary female prince of the alliance, she naturally had many suitors around her, including Yang Dajiang.

However, Xi Honglei doesn't look down on any of them, and never takes the children's affair seriously.

Whether it is the "Death and Life" marriage contract prepared by the pedestrians in advance, or Yang Dajiang's behavior of insisting on running every morning for her, even though he doesn't like sports at all, the red tears back then are incomprehensible. I even feel that things like feelings are a burden in life.

"At that time, both Lao Yi and Lao Yang said that I just didn't meet the magic star I was destined for." Xi Honglei looked at an unknown direction and smiled self-deprecatingly, "He really is my magic star... "

When he met that person, Xi Honglei was already the prince of the military supervisor of Xia Ke Island, holding great power and a great reputation; his decisiveness in killing and attacking was admirable.

Xi Honglei said that it was the 160th anniversary celebration of Campbell Military Academy. She, pedestrians and Yang Dajiang were invited back to their alma mater as outstanding graduates. At the military parade of the school celebration, she saw that person, as if The magic star enters the eyes, and it will never be restored.

"Most beauties admire heroes, presumably he must be an excellent graduate."

After hearing Li Ting's words, Xi Honglei just shook her head helplessly:

"This time, you guessed wrong. If I were a woman who admired heroes, I was also a pedestrian back then. Isn't she the greatest hero in this universe?"

"So—" Li Ting followed suit, "Are you the kind of weirdo who likes bears?"

Xi Honglei rolled her eyes at Li Ting with some annoyance, cleared her throat and continued her words: "He is not a hero, not even an outstanding graduate. If it wasn't for his being late and arguing with the teachers justly, I would How did you know him?"

"Late?" In Li Ting's memory, even Xie Junhuai, who had such a noble background, would not dare to be late or leave early at Campbell Military Academy, let alone a school celebration ceremony.

indeed,

Xi Honglei remembered that young man because of his audacity and reckless refusal to admit his mistake, and the way he was sent to the principal's office by two or three teachers in the school.After a little inquiring, I found out why he was late.

The young man was not born noble, and his family may not even be considered as the next three types of nobles. In his generation, he is even more desolate. He is the only one in the whole family who passed the voice test and entered Campbell Military Academy. Knife mercenary.

Straight knife is not some great noble mercenary profession. According to common sense, with the expectation of family rejuvenation, the young man should work hard and keep himself safe in the academy for the future.

However, this young man is a person who "does not know what is good and what is bad".He ran into three types of nobles twice in three days, either because he was demerited for fighting or because he was late and left early and was invited to the principal's office.It can be said to be the nightmare of every Campbell Military Academy teacher.

"Then why is he late this time?" Li Ting frowned, "Da Yin is hidden in the court, and he is too attractive to do so. Why, didn't the academy expel him?"

Xi Honglei shook her head: "Naturally, someone is secretly protecting him, poor - he won't know until he dies..."

Hearing what Xi Honglei said, Li Ting shut up, and only waited for Xi Honglei to continue——

Those who can save a student who "committed chaos" at Campbell Military Academy are certainly not ordinary people.

Back then, Wang Wengang was actually in power, and Mo Youwen never left Xiake Island. There were two upper and lower houses in the administrative system of the empire, and the first member of the upper house was called the "Old Prime Minister".The old man had only one daughter who was bedridden all year round. Although the lady passed the test, she was unable to attend classes at the Campbell Military Academy due to physical reasons. She only invited the teachers of the academy to teach alone at home.

The old prime minister was obedient to his daughter, even though he didn't know how his daughter, who didn't go out much, knew that troublesome poor boy, the old man could only keep the young man secretly.

The young man never knew the real identity of Miss Prime Minister, and only regarded her as a sick and weak woman. Whenever they met, the young man always told her all kinds of "new things" outside, and also told her about the life of ordinary people. Miss Prime Minister quickly Then you know the truth that young people always "make trouble"——

It was common for nobles to fight each other, but young people could not understand the behavior of those upper three types of nobles, and occasionally contradicted, it was often because the nobles behaved out of line and bullied ordinary classmates.Moreover, the reason why he often came late and left early was because their family was poor and there was no extra money to pay for his tuition.

The young man deceived his family that he had received a scholarship in the college, but actually worked two or three jobs outside to support his own tuition.

Miss Prime Minister is used to the flamboyance of nobles, and she can't understand those frivolous men who know her identity and deliberately post them.In her eyes, young people are naturally pure and attractive. More or less, under the subtle influence of Miss Prime Minister, the attitude of the old prime minister has also softened, and he secretly helped the young man to graduate smoothly.

It's just that at the school celebration this time, the behavior of the young man was no longer something the old prime minister could suppress, and the miss prime minister's illness was aggravated because of this.Under such circumstances, Xi Honglei took the initiative to extend a helping hand to the old prime minister, and secretly suppressed the matter in the name of her prince.

After Miss Prime Minister learned about this, she was grateful to Xi Honglei, and regarded the female prince and sister as a close friend, and always called Shang Xi Honglei for everything.Even so, the young man became familiar with Xi Honglei.

At that time, the Beisheng Legion was invincible. The young man had just graduated from Campbell Military Academy. Although his grades were not enough to allow him to enter the Legion, but there were red tears and various actions of the old prime minister. The atmosphere of brotherly dating was quickly integrated into it, and they made great achievements repeatedly and were proud of life.

However, at the same time, Miss Prime Minister's condition became more and more serious, and she would only wake up for three or four hours on weekdays, so she was transferred to the VIP monitoring center of the Union Hospital.

"Do you know?" Xi Honglei said here, paused, with a sad expression on his face, "I always thought that my feelings for him were well hidden, and only I knew about it. But I didn't want to, one day, I I was called to Union Hospital by the old prime minister, and he said that his daughter had something to say to me."

Li Ting frowned, as if he had already guessed the next development.

"At that time, when she was so awake every day, she suddenly called me over, and I knew it was not good, but I still went. In the ward, she said, she knew that she didn't have much time, and she knew I have always had a soft spot for that person, and I hope that I can take good care of him after she dies..." Xi Honglei smiled bitterly, "How dare I agree in that case? Even if I really miss her One day when I die, I can wait for him to change his mind. However, if I want to make a promise in front of a dying woman, I absolutely cannot do it. "

"Then later—" Li Ting gritted his teeth, but didn't ask: If that's the case, why did you seem to betray Ren Pingsheng for this matter later?

Xi Honglei got up to add a glass of water for Li Ting, and then continued——

At that time, Miss Prime Minister originally hoped to keep her feelings in her heart forever, and die slowly with happiness.Clinker, despite everything being concealed, the young man still knew that the sick and weak girl he had helped for a long time was Miss Prime Minister, and even knew that her time was numbered.

To everyone's surprise, the young man applied for a marriage contract to the cosmic court that night, and went to the Union VIP's ward to propose to the lady.

"I guess Miss Prime Minister agreed, and her condition has improved."

"... How do you know? Xie Junhuai told you?"

"No, I guessed it myself." Li Ting put down the water glass in his hand, "If that young lady didn't agree, how could you do such a betrayal? Because of the marriage proposal of someone else, that's why you are stimulated and want to take your lover as your own. If Miss Prime Minister doesn't agree, you just have to wait, don't you?"

Thinking of those years, there were tears in her red eyes, she smiled bitterly, but tears flashed from the corners of her eyes: "The authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders are clear. Sure enough, after you said that, I realized how stupid what I did back then— ——You are right, she agreed to the marriage proposal, and her body recovered miraculously, and she even became pregnant with their child in the second year."

Li Ting raised his eyebrows, he did not expect this.

"But fortunately, we are still friends, and she always apologizes to me because of these things. As for me, I always blame myself for this feeling, suppressing and suffering, until, until one day... Xie Junhuai found me I."

"Jun Huai?" Li Ting was stunned for a moment, he never thought that Xie Jun Huai would be involved in this matter.
