Chapter 322: Zhao'an
Originally, Xuanqi had already given up by default, but the crisis in Xuantian City brought him hope again!
"If I solve the danger of Xuantian City, my father will definitely call me back to my side!" With such a thought, Xuan Qi rekindled his hope, with his cleverness and the discussion of the strategists around him, he could naturally see that this matter was in a hurry, but Xuan Qi ignored everything, and only thought about acting in front of Emperor Xuan.
He only now understood why he said those words without thinking in the court.
He is not really a person who fights for justice for the common people of the world, he is just sad that his biological father is afraid and distrusts him, he is just sad that the original family relationship has disappeared at some point.
Although he had already noticed many suspicious points on the way here, he still covered his ears and deceived himself, taking the "crisis" of Xuantian City as real and doing his best to act.
The first is that he has no choice, and the second is that he is really eager to get the respect of Emperor Xuan, and he is eager to restore his previous relationship with him.
Therefore, he is willing to cooperate with Emperor Xuanhuang to act for a sanctimonious reason, and is willing to be a "licking dog" who pretends to be stupid, but he didn't expect that Emperor Xuanhuang wouldn't even give him the opportunity to lick a dog, and he no longer had even the slightest trust in him.
If Emperor Xuan didn't want to send him to Yunchuan and vainly try to take away his artifact to restrict his strength, maybe he would really acquiesce to all the evils that Emperor Xuan had done, and obediently be a 'Ten Highnesses' by his side with one eye closed, and he would not be the crown prince of Tuna, just for family affection.
After all, he is just a child who lost the love of his parents when he was a teenager - of course, it would be great if he could become a prince again, and it didn't matter if he didn't. This is the fantasy of Xuan Qibao, and this fantasy is absolutely impossible to happen in the current situation.
In addition to family affection, Xuanqi also thought of a lot!
Along the way, because of his eagerness to show greed for merit, many brothers died tragically, some died on the way to the limit, and some died in the traps of the enemy.
And each of these corpses is what he calls "brothers who share life and death together".
This is also one of the reasons why he is full of anger in the face of Emperor Xuan, but now that he thinks about it, in the final analysis, he has an unshirkable responsibility.
If it weren't for the planning of the capable people who were still calm around them, I am afraid that before they arrived in Xuantian City, most of the army of Xuanqi would be killed or wounded.
The cell was dark and steamy, and it was good to sleep during the day and a little cold at night.
Xuan Qi turned his back to the light source outside the cell and buried his body in the darkness, and in the darkness, his cheeks flashed with crystal points of light, and all the negative emotions of self-blame, grief, remorse, resentment, and so on gushed out.
Seeing his curled up back trembling uncontrollably, he tried to restrain himself from making a noise - even if he was actually alone in this huge dungeon, he didn't want to let out a loud cry.
"Your Highness the Ten!" The voice of a middle-aged man suddenly came from the dead prison, Xuan Qi was startled, and his body shook and quickly recovered.
"Zhan, Uncle Zhan!" Xuan Qi said in surprise, and if you listen carefully, you will find that his voice is still slightly trembling with crying.
Zhan Xiong accidentally bumped into this scene, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.
"Ahem!" Xuan Qi coughed twice and regained his voice.
"Is Zhan Xiong's predecessor here to collect my artifact?" Xuan Qi said first, his tone calm and cold.
"What did His Highness Ten say, it's really embarrassing for the old minister!" Zhan Xiong hurriedly said.
"It's too late to elaborate on the urgency of time, the old minister is now retreating to look at the door, if there is any problem for her to tell you!" Zhan Xiong hurriedly left after speaking, and a slender figure wrapped in a black robe appeared in front of Xuan Qi.
"Brother Huang, you-" Xuan Qi hadn't washed his face for too long, and although the tears just now had disappeared, the two black tear stains were particularly conspicuous on his cheeks. The person who came obviously couldn't believe that Xuanqi would cry, and he stopped talking for a while.
"Xuan Yue!" Xuan Qi learned the identity of the other party through his voice.
"What's wrong with me?" Xuan Qi saw Xuan Yue's gaze, and subconsciously quickly wiped his cheeks.
"No! No, this place is so damp, it makes your face glaze!" Xuan Yue did not directly dismantle Xuan Qi, and handed over her handkerchief.
"Uhh Xuanqi hurriedly answered. As for the handkerchief handed by Xuan Yue, he hesitated for a moment but took it and wiped his face.
"What's the matter, Princess Yue came to see my joke so late?" Xuan Qi wanted to say this, but when he saw the handkerchief in his hand, he swallowed it again, quietly waiting for the other party to speak first.
"Brother Huang, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you have become handsome again!" Unexpectedly, after a period of silence, Xuan Yue's first words were like this.
Xuan Qi imagined countless scenes, but he didn't think of this, and he didn't know how to reply for a while.
Only then did he look at Xuan Yue intently, and found that Xuan Yue was not greeting, but a serious conclusion after looking at him very seriously. There was still warmth in her eyes, which was the strong family affection for her brother that Xuan Qi hadn't seen in her eyes for a long time.
At this moment, Xuan Qi had an illusion, as if the two of them had returned to their childhood.
"Brother Huang heard that you angered your father in front of the court today?" Xuan Yue began to bring up the topic.
"Uh-huh!" Xuan nodded, his expression a little dark.
There was another silence, and the scene was silent and embarrassing.
"I really want to go back to when I was a child!" it was Xuan Yue who spoke first.
"At that time, my father was kind, and everything was so beautiful!"
Xuan Qi's eyes moved, and he didn't answer.
"Brother Huang, have you ever noticed that your father has changed! He is no longer the kind father and benevolent monarch he used to be!"
"Huh?" Xuan Qi was blinded by Xuan Yue for a while, and he didn't understand what she wanted to say.
Xuanyue collected her mind, hid all her warmth, and turned back into the moon princess who looked down on the world.
"Brother Huang, I said that my father would kill you, can you believe it?" Xuan Yue said that her eyes glanced at Xuan Qi intentionally or unintentionally, for fear that he would not believe it.
"Believe!" Xuan Qi said lightly.
"Huh!" This time it was Xuan Yue's turn to be blind, she thought that she would have to spend time persuading Xuan Qi, but Xuan Qi's answer was concise and clear.
"You, why do you believe it?" Xuan Yue said in confusion.
"Since my father no longer trusts me, then I should say that it was yesterday today, and everything I showed yesterday to please him has become the reason why he wants to kill me!"
"Whether it's the relationship with the Lord of the Dust City, or his henchmen, or his own strength, no matter what, it's beyond his control, and he still retains his previous perception of me, but he never thought that I would grow up and become stronger!
