The news that the Northern Xia army was broken by Bai Qing certainly spread all over Hulan Mountain. The Northern Xia Emperor Li Dezhao first lifted the question of Li Yuanjue's status as the crown prince. Immediately after that, he did another thing, arrest the national teacher!

You must know that a few months ago, this national teacher brought everyone from the Bai family to the royal court, and in front of everyone in the royal family, he forced everyone to kill themselves, so that he had a plan for Northern Xia to attack the Eastern Song Dynasty.

However, the prince led tens of thousands of troops to see Bai Qing in Tanyuan City, and was forced to retreat by him.

Such a national teacher is guilty of bullying the king, even if it is confirmed. In addition, Li Dezhao was bound to ask him for the crime of inciting national war.

It's a pity that the national teacher should have heard the wind and didn't know where to go. Then he ordered someone to go to the place where the corpse of the "Bai family" who killed himself was displayed, and found that the corpse was also missing.

After a long search, it was in vain. Li Dezhao was furious, but he was helpless.

After returning to the prince's tent for a long time, Li Yuanjue was still shocked by the secrets told by his father. It's hard to accept anything, the boy who once saved himself turned out to be the child of destiny that the goddess said.

The prophecy of the Son of Destiny is widely spread in Hulan Mountain. The legendary Son of Destiny holds the stars in his hand, expands the heavens and the earth, marries the saint and has two sons.

It's just that from ancient times to the present, it is still only a widely circulated and well-known prophecy, and there has never been any clue.

Therefore, the contemporary saints are also hesitant when they see the auspicious star bursting, and if it is not for the holy objects at the same time, they do not know how to confirm the prophecy.

It is also for this reason that when the holy woman walked down the sacred mountain and talked about it to the Northern Xia Emperor, Li Dezhao was also incredulous. If it weren't for Bai Qing's actions, he would gradually believe it.

However, when it was Li Yuanjue's turn, although he had made up his mind in his heart, he didn't want to believe it. After all, as the crown prince, the prince of Northern Xia, and the future emperor of Northern Xia, he is a chosen one!

But anyone understands that his heaven is the heaven of Northern Xia. And the heaven that the goddess talked about, how can it be compared to Northern Xia?!

This kind of feeling of making a judgment is not very pleasant for Li Yuanjue, who was born into a noble royal family. He couldn't even understand that his father, who he admired so much, could accept it calmly.

But when he thought of what he had encountered in Tanyuan City, he suddenly felt powerless. In addition, he often heard some rumors after entering the Song Realm. Yangping Guan Baiqing broke the city with one punch, and the soul sacrifice of ten thousand soldiers in Shuying City was all clear.

With the passage of time, after the prince of Northern Xia returned from Tanyuan City, he has been depressed. Think about it, in fact, it is also common sense.

Ben is a prince whose heart is higher than the sky and his ambitions are high. But one day, when I heard that the sky was limited and high, and the earth was forbidden, I naturally had a depressed mind.

Emperor Li Dezhao also saw it, but did not interfere. From the point of view of the Northern Xia emperor, this is also a tempering of the heart of his favorite son. If he can pass the test, the Northern Xia Dynasty will be even more relieved to hand it over to him!

In fact, just talking about the temperament of this prince is to be able to bend and stretch. He is heroic and probrating, and he inherited Li Dezhao's ability to cooperate vertically and horizontally. should be the hero of the world.

Therefore, the choice of destiny, although there are others. But for Li Yuanjue, there are also other arrangements, and he will definitely achieve another extraordinary. This is all an afterthought, and when the fate is aggregated, it will naturally be known.

The Gesang flowers on the grassland have bloomed, there is no war in Northern Xia, and the royal court is naturally dull and leisurely.

Every day is the smoke of cooking, children riding horses and shepherding sheep, and young men and women frolicking and singing. It's as if it's inhabited by just a bunch of herdsmen living and working in peace.

Less than 5 miles east of the royal court is cattle and sheep pasture. Most of the people who lived here were commoners and slaves who herded cattle for the royal family.

Compared with the royal court's honor guard, the living conditions here are obviously far worse. The low tents are mostly made of felt cloth. The people here even drink blood, and their survival habits are primitive and simple.

There is only one person here, and he is a little uncomfortable with this environment.

First of all, although the person was dressed similarly to others, it did not fit properly, and it was clear that the clothing was not his own.

Secondly, although the clothes are dirty, the hair is in a high bun all day long, and the face is neatly cleaned.

In addition, inside its tattered coat, he wore the costumes of the Eastern Song Dynasty. And in his arms, he always carried something wrapped in oilskin paper.

Someone has seen it before, such as a customs clearance document and the like. Nomadic things that are useless in the steppes, but this person regards them as treasures.

He was left on this ranch for seven or eight months, eating and living with the slaves every day, and doing the most menial work. Just living in such a mess.

But a few days ago, the prince's class returned to the court and brought back some news. The Northern Xia was defeated, and everyone from the royal family to the slaves was a little depressed. But this person is unusual, and he has become energetic and dancing all day long.

was already an unsociable weirdo, so he suddenly went berth, and everyone around him was only briefly surprised, and he didn't pay more attention to it.

"The prince's tens of thousands of troops have been broken by Bai Qing! Broken by Bai Qing! This is true, Bai Qing is not dead! The prince and tens of thousands of troops have seen Bai Qing!"

When it came time to graze alone, the weirdos began to dance again.

"The Bai family is still there! The Bai family is still there! Lord, the Bai family is still there!"

The strange man cried and cried, venting his joy. At the beginning, he went out of Bianjing and rode his horse to Shuying. But halfway through, he met the "Bai family" following a person who looked like a monk.

hurriedly appeared and said earlier, "everyone in the Bai family" did not reply, as if he was looking at the head of the horse. was puzzled, but because of his loyalty, he was finally deceived by Fang Shi's clever words and went to the Northern Xia royal court.

When he arrived at the royal court, Chen An was horrified to see the lord and his party kill themselves. So far, I have been blaming myself and feeling guilty like an abyss, and I cannot be exempted.

Now that tens of thousands of troops have witnessed Bai Qing, the lies of the Fang Shi have been self-defeating, which has made Chen An feel a little relieved and has this relief.

"Although the Bai family is here, I am also a sinner, if I hadn't listened to the demon's lie halfway, I would have returned to Shuying City early, and everything might have been different. ”

As he spoke, the strange man sat down in a dejected manner. He took out the brown paper bag from his bosom and opened it carefully. Take out the things inside and put them respectfully in front of you, throw your five bodies to the ground, and bow solemnly.

"Lord, I heard that the Bai family is still alive, and I am satisfied. Don't dare to expect it, let me apologize here. ”

In the sunset, the worshipping figure of the strange man pulled out a long shadow. At dusk, the breeze on the grassland blows, blowing the water and grass like waves. Blow through the chapter in front of the stranger and turn the pages upside down.

A name in the customs clearance document is shown over and over again by the wind.

Chen An!

In a moment, the strange man got up, carefully put away the disc again, and put it in his arms. The last rays of the sun shone on his face.

Indeed, he is Chen An. Chen An, who fled from Bianjing and returned to Shuying to report the news, but failed to do so. is still the appearance of a beautiful scholar, and he still combs his hair in the same bun as when he traveled back and forth between Shuying and Bianjing, but there are more vicissitudes in the corners of his eyes.

Chen An drove the sheep into the pasture fence and dragged his tired body to the shack where he lived.

"It's Mr. Chen?"

Chen An was startled, only to find that there was a person sitting in front of the door, with a silver helmet and silver armor. Looking at the texture of the saber on his waist, he knew that this person's status in the Northern Xia royal court was not low. Then bow down and be.

The man laughed and got up and walked in front of Chen An.

"I am Li Yuanjue, and Bai Qing, the son of your father-in-law, are friends, redeem me before I didn't know that Mr. was here, how neglectful, Mr. atonement!"

The prince of Northern Xia rarely came here, and everyone was surprised. It was even more surprising to see that this noble prince actually stepped forward to hook up with the dirty strange man.

"Sir is an envoy of the Bai family, how can I live here, there is a place to live next to my big tent, if Mr. does not dislike it, he will move there, and I can ask for advice or two on weekdays. ”

Saying that, someone brought the horse, and Chen An was taken to his new residence in such a daze.

Li Yuanjue summoned his attendants again, and waited for Chen An to wash up inside and out. He put on clean and comfortable clothes, changed into neat sheets and leather mats, and withdrew.

In the exquisite tent, only Chen An was left. Until now, Chen An has not understood the motives of the prince of Northern Xia.

But now I lie on the fragrant and comfortable fur bed, and look at everything neatly and neatly. Soon he fell asleep, he was so tired, today, all these months.

I don't know how long it took, Chen An was woken up by two women who had burrowed into the fur cover. The gentle and slippery left and right close-fitting made Chen An, who was hazy and sleepy, very comfortable. As the two women's waists twisted and the sound of warblers and swallows in their mouths, clouds rose in the tent.

"Father, to a Chen An, isn't it... ”

Li Yuanjue retracted his gaze at Chen Anying's tent, a little puzzled.

"It's worth it! Do you think your two sisters can be accepted by Bai Qing?"

The Emperor of Northern Xia was a little gloomy, thinking that it was all the Eastern Song Dynasty to marry the princess, and now Li Dezhao has set a precedent. And the princess is not married to the prince, but Chen An, a Bai family clerk.

Chen An is also a very human being, just because he endures humiliation and hibernation in the pasture and tids his hair and cleans his face, it can be seen that he is noble. And I knew that the Bai family did not exist, and I still enshrined the customs clearance document, which shows its loyalty!"

Li Dezhao patted his son on the shoulder.

"I can see this person's characteristics, and I believe that the Bai family will see this person again, and it will be the same. Believe me, at the critical moment, Chen An can save me Beixia! Now you say, what are the two princesses?"

Li Yuanjue looked at Chen Anying's tent again, thinking of the two younger sisters who had been playing since they were young and growing up in that tent, he always felt a little mustard in his heart. But he is the prince, and family affection can't save Northern Xia, but Chen An may really be as his father said.

"Erchen understands, Erchen knows what his father means!"

Li Yuanjue bowed and raised his hand to clench his fist.

"Father, forgive me, Yuan Jue is frivolous. If I had to choose, it wouldn't be the way to go. ”

Hearing his son's retort for the first time, the Northern Xia Emperor was stunned. Looking at his son's resolute face again, Li Dezhao relaxed.

For the head of the royal family, perhaps for the survival of the royal family, anything can be sacrificed. But once upon a time, why wasn't he upright?

"So be it. ”

In Li Yuanjue's surprised eyes, the father, who was nearly sixty years old, rarely showed a look of relief.

The prince of the country will sooner or later reign over the world. Li Yuanjue has been on the crown prince for several years, and he has been cautious and walking on thin ice. And just now, my father's smile of relief actually contained a sense of pride!

The most ruthless imperial family!

Li Yuanjue is lucky because:

He is the prince and the supreme.

He is a son, and a father is proud of it!
