I hoped that Lu Gong would send troops to help us for the sake of a generous bribe, but his appetite was terrible, and he poured almost half of the pearl jade in the palace to buy his support, but unfortunately, it was too late, and the Jin and Song coalition forces even invited the Qi State to recruit Wang Qi.

As soon as the banner of the king is unfurled, it will confirm the felony of rebellion between you and me! Ha, the whereabouts of Zhenyugui are unknown, and we cannot prepare the edict of Weijun and the position of Zhengshuo'er; the military talisman was deceived by the Jin Shizi, and we cannot mobilize the Praetorian Guard...... Why trouble you with those children, let them go, and I give you my life as atonement for my sins......"

"Are you Rory verbose, are you showing off your stupidity?" Xia Yao was indifferent, "So far, my deepest experience is that in addition to regret, I still regret." ”

She sat down next to him, took his hand, and rubbed it in her palm: "I used to believe your lies very much, for fear that I would not sacrifice all my might to achieve the glory of our Yao clan as you described. I even accompanied my innocence to hook up with the guy who called me my concubine...... Guess what I got in return? I lost my son, I lost my integrity, I lost my chance to survive. A sentence that is entirely due to variables is an explanation for what I have to do?"

Tai Bu Zheng withdrew his hand: "Okay, if you want to blame, just come to me!" I can be shallow and unable to achieve the goal I promised you, how can you retaliate against me, I dare not have the slightest complaint." Let Shuo'er and my sons run away together! they are innocent!"

"No one is innocent. Xia Yao held up her chin and stared at the palace people rushing in the small square field in front of the Taimiao, "I am a big tree planted by the Yao family in the country, in the past, you competed to enjoy the blessings that my tree gave you, everyone is rich and noble, and everyone is brilliant...... The tree is finished, withered, and about to be cut down, but you are screaming that the innocent want to leave?hahahahahaha......hahahahahahaha

She couldn't stop laughing, and the bronze horse hanging under the eaves of the Taimiao Temple seemed to echo her, tinkling in the wind.

Taibu stood up solemnly: "You are indeed crazy!"

Xia Yao shook her head indifferently: "It's crazy, it's not crazy." …… Don't even think about leaving!"

"You plan to destroy the Yao clan?!" Taibu Zheng was on guard, but he didn't expect her to hold such a firm hatred, "Wait, we still have a way! That, that Jin Shizi doesn't want the princess Sikou that we have detained! She can probably block the sword soldiers outside the city, at least delay some time, so that the reinforcements of the Lu State can come!"

Xia Yao glanced at him: "Can she turn the situation around?"

"Yes!" Tai Bu Zheng was afraid that his words were not exaggerated enough, so he had to convince her!

Xia Yao taught the maid to leave with a graceful gesture: "Is it possible? I buried her in the dirt not long ago, and she must not have rotted yet, so you can dig everywhere and find it. ”

Taibu Zheng looked at her back and muttered, "Crazy, crazy......"

"Keep an eye on Taibu, watch his family. Xia Yao advised, "Even if it is a bird resting on the beam of his house, don't teach a feather to leave the house." ”

"Mother! Mother!" Gongzi Shuo shouted all the way to Xia Yao's dormitory.

Xia Yao just woke up from her dream and looked at the purple jade hairpin on the dressing table.

When Gongzi Shuo didn't hear it, she repeated: "Mother!"

Xia Yao moved, indicating that she was listening.

"The soldiers of the Jin and Song dynasties have attacked Miyagi! They say that if we surrender, we will ......" Gongzi Shuo said in a panic, spitting stars, "You see, Uncle Tuhu is not here, the soldiers are not there, and those guards refuse to obey me, aren't we waiting for death?"

Xia Yao asked absentmindedly, "Are you afraid of death?"

Gongzi Shuo was stunned: "...... Fear. ”

Xia Yao called him to come to him, hugged him in his arms, and stroked his soft hair: "Mother knows that you are afraid." You're fourteen years old, you're a child. …… In the years to come, Mother won't be able to protect you, Shuo'er. ”

"Mother!" Childe Shuo's eyes welled up with water.

"You cried once, and don't shed tears for your mother again. Xia Yao wiped the fine sweat on his forehead and the tears at the corners of his eyes, "Forget me, in fact, I hurt your brother and you, you should curse me, hate me, hate me! Whoever mentions my name again, you have to complain about me with the most aggrieved look! Do you understand? Huh?"

Childe struggled blankly but resistantly.

Xia Yao patted him on the face: "Cheer up!" It won't be long before you meet your eldest brother Jing Zhao, or Jin Shizi, or Song Shizi, or whoever, if they are unfavorable to you, you will immediately announce that you know the whereabouts of your father and Princess Sikou, but if you say so, the condition is not to kill you." And the promise not to kill you must be made by Jin Shizi, you have to beg him to protect you, others can't believe it. ”

"Why is that?" Gongzi Shuo couldn't help but wonder.

Xia Yao put the hairpin in his sleeve: "...... Not why. An infatuated person is always more trustworthy than anyone else. Show him this. ”

Childe Shuo sobbed and accepted it.

Xia Yao leaned into his ear and whispered a few words, and then walked forward, constantly ordering the temple and maidservants who were standing: "Open the palace door and welcome the prince!" "Don't resist!" "I'm waiting in the pear hall." So they don't have to search, just go there!"

One of her shoes slipped off her foot and lay lonely at the end of the long hallway.

The heavy palace gate unexpectedly opened in front of the menacing army that supported the restoration of Wei Shizi Jingzhao.

When the vanguard Su Xian's subordinates stopped the fierce attack, he flew towards Jing Zhao and Shangguang with an inquiring look: "Duh! It's weird! This is an invitation?"

Shangguang stopped the furious flames, ignoring Jing Zhao, who was rushing in, and motioned for him to press for the time being.

"Don't kill me! Don't move!" the disheveled, sad-looking Gongzi Shuo stumbled along the palace wall and threw himself next to Jing Zhao's horse, "Brother, save me!"

Jing Zhao said coldly: "Where is your mother, where is your uncle?"

"Mother is in Litang. Gongzi Shuo groped in his sleeve for a long time, and took out the pair of purple jade hairpins: "I...... I'll tell you the whereabouts of your father and Princess Siko!

When I saw the hairpin, I had mixed feelings, joy and sorrow. The joy was that the wind was close at hand, and that she was expected to survive, but the fear was that she must have suffered a lot, or she would not allow the secret of their marriage to be defiled by the rebels.

Gongzi Shuo knelt down under his car and cried out: "Jin Shizi save me! As long as you save my life, I will lead you to pick up Princess Sikou!"

"Okay!" Kamitsu did not hesitate, "With me, you are here!"

Su Xian wanted to stop it, but he accidentally saw Jing Zhao Tieqing's face, but he didn't stop it.

Xia Yao's bet was on the right one.

Gongzi Shuo got the promise, like a drowning man encountering a driftwood in the torrent, he immediately hugged it desperately, and he didn't relax: "Xie Jin Shizi!

Thankfully, he took the bridle of his bare horse and headed for the earthen wall.

Jing Zhao followed, but he went to Litang.

Su Xian slowly followed the back of the team and found that Gongsun Zhan, the son of Weichen Taishi Jian, was quietly approaching Shangguang, to be precise, Gongzi Shuo.

"Alas. He sighed.

Wall.

A foul smell hit, stirring people's stomachs and intestines.

"Is this here?" Kamitsu looked at the black bugs crawling on the walls, suspicious.

Childe nodded hurriedly: "Yes! Yes! Absolutely!"

Gongsun Liangxiao and others demolished the nearby wooden pillars to hit the earthen wall.

The earthen wall was very strong, and they finally hit a gap with a lot of effort, and the stronger and stronger stench suddenly penetrated into everyone's hearts, and the brave Gongsun Liangxiao almost couldn't control the nausea and vomiting, but the stench stepped into the wall.

It didn't take long for him to step out: "...... In the center of the room was a body dripping with pus. Judging from the clothes, it is Wei Jun. Good night, spread the word to Wei Shizi, Wei Junxue passed away. ”

Gongzi Shuo choked: "Father ......"

Shangguang didn't have time to comfort him: "What about the princess? Isn't it the princess who you brought me here?"

One of the backbones of Jin Shizi's think tank, the blind musician Shi Yong, suddenly asked everyone to be quiet.

Everyone held their breath as a faint knocking sound came from the earthen wall on the other side.

Shangguang made a gesture, and Dafu Yuan took over the task left by Gongsun Liangxiao, who was ordered to report the news, and hit the earthen wall on the other side.

The earthen wall collapsed.

"Yes...... Who...... , please help me......" is the call of the wind to be weak.

Before everyone could react, the glazing had already rushed in.

"Feng'er!" he picked up Linfeng in the dark, "Feng'er!"

Linfeng wrapped his arms around his neck and leaned against his chest: "Glazing ......"

"Childe Shuo!" Just as the lovers were reunited, a loud shout exploded above Childe Shuo's head, "You are useless, take your life!"

Looking back, Gongzi Shuo covered his lower abdomen, fell to the ground on his back, and convulsed in fright. Gongsun Zhan took the blood-dripping dagger and watched indifferently.

Dafu Yuan snatched Gongsun Zhan's short sword: "What are you doing?!He is the person who my family wants to protect!"

The corners of Gongsun Zhan's mouth twitched: "He is the enemy of our Taishi clan and the evil seed of the Yao clan...... I have survived to this day, and what I will not forget is revenge!"

He saw Gongzi Shuo's legs kicking and kicking, and he lost his breath, and Fang was satisfied with the short sword to his neck: "I'm sorry, Jin Shizi." You are deeply kind to the country, and you don't want to repay you and lose your trust, it is all the fault of the foreign minister, and the foreign minister will thank him with death!"

Shangguang felt the wind tremble: "Don't stop!"

Linfeng's body was cold and cold, and he kept shivering. She couldn't afford more bloody irritation.

"I'm going to sleep for a while, glazing. She closed her eyes, "Forgive me for not being able to take a good look at you now......"

"It's okay, Feng'er. Kamitsu took off his robe and carefully wrapped her, "You're tired, go to sleep." ”

Pear Hall.

Empty.

"The fountain is on the left, and the water is on the right. The woman has a line, and her parents and brothers ...... "Xia Yao scattered her long black and translucent blue hair and soaked them in water mixed with spices. Her hair bloomed like a flower on the surface of the water, and she sang happily.

It's been a song for years.

Twenty years ago, when she crossed Qishui from Nanyan and set foot on the land of patriotism as a bride, the people who greeted her sang this song.

Originally, she thought that it had long been lost in the depths of her memory, but today, it came back to life in her mouth for no reason.

Singing and singing, she cried bitterly.

Again, for no reason.

A pair of hands gently rubbed her long hair.

She stopped crying, and let her hands splash up the water repeatedly: "Jing Zhao?"

"Hmm. ”

“…… You're back......"

"Hmm. ”

"You're back, I have to go. ”

“…… Well. ”

She paused: "It's done." ”

Jing Zhao silently helped her wring out her wet hair and drape it behind her head.

"What are you going to do with me?" Xia Yao sat in front of the window, bathing in the last rays of sunlight while holding a jade comb, combing the remnants of life one by one.

Jing Zhao looked at her: "...... I don't know. Just as I did not consider the death you arranged for me, I did not consider the death you arranged for yourself. ”

Xia Yao pulled up a simple bun, took the bronze mirror, and looked at the mirror to reflect her still delicate face: "Suicide...... I thought I was going to turn into a pulp of flesh under the sword. ”

"You...... It's always my mother-in-law......" Jing Zhao looked away.

Xia Yao smiled: "I understand." ”

She packed up the bronze mirror, put on the jade comb, and leaned wearily on the railing of the window: "But, I thought that you would say that I was always ...... Who have you liked...... I was wrong. ”

Jing Zhao was silent.

……

The sun is fading.

"Mother-in-law. Jing Zhao stood up and paced to her side.

She closed her eyes serenely, as if she had fallen into a sweet sleep, and a wisp of purple blood hung from the corner of her lips.

Jing Zhao stared at her for a long time.

"Of course I liked you. I've even liked everything that has to do with you, just because they have your breath. As he spoke, he took out the shoes she had left in the hallway hidden in his bosom and slipped them on her tiny feet......

God, it's really dark.

Su Xian stood on a high platform, looking at the Acropolis Castle that looked hazy and miserable under the layers of dark clouds in the twilight. A group of ravens crowed in a strange voice, skimming his vision.

He frowned.

Crows always make people feel unlucky. Clothed in pitch-black feathers, this bird usually likes to stay on desolate branches or tombs, quietly gazing at the world, like an indifferent spectator, and when something of interest to it appears, such as a corpse, it will hoarse and hiss, half weeping and half mocking, turning misfortune into a farce.

So he hates them. Especially at this time, Linfeng has not yet woken up from a drowsy sleep.

She's been asleep for two days, and no matter how tired she is, it's time to open her eyes and see him.

Still, maybe it's better for her to fall asleep, if she can do it.

"Brother?" Gongzixi probed his brain beside him and asked hesitantly, "You haven't eaten a drop of water, and you haven't rested, what are you doing here?" ”

Su Xian said casually: "It's hurt, it's okay." ”

Childe is only the only one. After a while, he felt that it was still necessary to continue to speak: "Brother, you are the son of the Song Kingdom, the maintenance of Sheji, please take care of yourself!"

Su Xian smiled: "This is all nonsense. Think about it, what is the difference between me and others? My limbs and five organs are all flesh and blood, and I can't breathe the wind or the rain, so where can I maintain my social integrity? Not only me, but I am afraid that no one in the world has such special power, so why bother to think too highly of myself. …… In fact, even if I die, aren't you still there? Besides, we have younger brothers, and some of us have heirs. ”
