Chapter 162: The Story That Must Be Told
"Xu Xiao, you dare!" Two voices sounded at the same time, one was Zhao Chengde, the king of Jing'an, who was pale, and the other was from behind Zhao Chengde, full of majesty and could not be ignored.
Zhao Chengde bent over, turned sideways, and whispered: "Queen Mother!" β
The gray-haired Queen Mother walked out of the Jing'an Palace on crutches, her eyes were full of hatred for Xu Xiao who killed her two children, and the things of the year seemed to be in the past, and before late at night, the Queen Mother was always awakened by nightmares and saw Zhao Jiancheng and Zhao Yuanji in different places.
Xu Xiao continued to hold the knife, his eyes were full of light, and he did not show the slightest shock because of the appearance of the Queen Mother, but his hatred was even stronger.
In the past, Xu Xiao, the king of Xiliang, was a very affectionate person, even if he did something extraordinarily absurd, he gave others a bold feeling, but since he saw the Queen Mother, he did not hide the killing intent in his heart.
The Queen Mother condescendingly glanced at the arrogant and domineering Xu Xiao, and snorted coldly: "Xu Xiao, when you killed so many people, weren't you afraid of retribution?" β
Zhao Jiancheng and Zhao Yuanji's wives nearly 800 people, regardless of men and women, young and old, were all killed with a knife, and the blood flowed like a river, killing the red-eyed Xu Xiao was like a bloody evil Yama, who had just come out of hell, and killed every person, the Zhao royal family, four to three. This is the eternal pain in the heart of the Queen Mother, she has been complaining about the emperor for many years why he didn't cut off Xu Xiao's head and skin him, so she didn't return to Beijing for many years and has been living in Luoyang Palace.
"Retribution? Haha, I, Xu Xiao, are still afraid of retribution? Xu Xiao laughed wildly. is extremely arrogant, it is this arrogance that Wei Song sees the hatred of his father-in-law. I felt the fragility of my father-in-law, the fragility that was deeply hidden.
The gray-haired Queen Mother was trembling with anger at this time, stretched out her finger and pointed at the laughing Xu Xiao: "Xu Xiao, you don't need to be so arrogant, you can't avenge my two children now, if you die, the mourning family will not let go if you become a ghost." β
Xu Xiao hated the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother also hated Xu Xiao very much.
"Whoa?! Okay, old thing, when the time comes, I see that you killed me Xu Xiao. Or I, Xu Xiao, will take your life again. Xu Xiao squinted and said.
Everyone present was shocked, no one thought that Xu Xiao, the king of Xiliang, would say such a rebellious rebellious thing about the nine clans, everyone in the world knew that the king of Xiliang was domineering, but he didn't expect it to be so domineering.
The Jinluan Hall was sprinkled with ridicule. Playing scoundrels. In the Prime Minister's Mansion, forcing Prime Minister Pan Chunwei to kneel down and admit his mistakes, in front of the prince's mansion, threatening King Jing'an with a knife, can be regarded as Xu Xiao's arrogance, but it is still within the permissible and acceptable range, because you are Xu Xiao, the king of Xiliang who controls the 300,000 iron horses of Xiliang.
But who is the Queen Mother? She is the biological mother of today's Majesty XiΓ and the only birthday star of the Great Wei Kingdom.
Xu Xiao's following words shocked everyone even more: "Being old and not dying is a thief." You old thing has lived for so long, don't think so many years. I don't know what you've done with this old boy in private! β
Calling the Queen Mother an old thing and King Jing'an an an old boy, there are already many people who are indignant.
The palace housekeeper, who was standing next to Zhao Chengde and had excellent skills, said loudly: "Xu Xiao, how dare you ...... the queen mother and the prince?"
Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly grabbed by Wei Song's neck with one hand, and he lifted it in the air: "Where is your place to speak." With a slight throw, the butler flew upside down and fell to the ground, life and death unknown.
Xu Xiao, the king of Xiliang, is arrogant, and the "tiger bear" of Xiliang does not let too much.
"Old thing, you and Zhao Chengde have been together for so many years, and every year in the name of choosing a concubine, you hide people's eyes and ears, and privately summon the dead to sneak into Xiliangxing to assassinate them. Do you think I don't know what's going on behind the scenes? Xu Xiao exposed the woman's stabbing in the cold.
"Yes, it's all the mourning family, so what? The mourning family can't wait to pick your Xu Xiao's skin and drink your blood, but they can't stab you to death. The Queen Mother said tremblingly, "But if you Xu Xiao's subordinates showed mercy back then, how could the mourning family be like this?" β
It was Xu Xiao's iron-blooded ruthlessness that made the Queen Mother linger for so many years, and her hatred for Xu Xiao has surpassed the Cheng dΓΉ that ordinary people can imagine.
"Back then? You're an old thing, and you're embarrassed to mention back then? Xu Xiao said viciously, the long-standing past in his heart was not vomited or unhappy, "Back then, His Majesty, this king and Xiahou fought on the battlefield, worked hard and complained, the Great Wei army was like a broken bamboo, you old thing and Zhao Jiancheng were bad behind it, I was afraid that I Xu Xiao and Xiahou Gong would be the master, and I ordered to lure Su Su and the family members of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs into Beijing, and then put them under house arrest, I wanted to use this as a threat, and when the world was decided, I would kill me Xu Xiao and Xiahou, and assist Zhao Jiancheng to ascend the throne and become the emperor, do you think I don't know?" β
When Zhao Jiancheng was already the crown prince, he saw his majesty with great military achievements and his famous generals like clouds, and his heart was unstable, forcing the queen mother to make a decree to induce the families of civil and military officials to enter Beijing.
But at that time, I had no choice, the kid who built it wanted to be the emperor too much, and wanted to be the emperor too much. I just want to save the lives of a few children and protect a family.
"Old thing, the life of your Zhao family is life, isn't the life of other people life? What's more, they are fighting the world for your Zhao family. Poor Su Su is pregnant with Liujia, and was deceived into the palace by you, and the day is not safe, how have you ever thought about others? Xu Xiao mentioned Princess Bai Su, and grabbed the cold knife in his hand again, as if he would step forward in the next moment.
"Old thing, you can use Zhao Jiancheng to coerce you to prevaricate, but you know very well in your heart that even if the world is decided, Zhao Jiancheng will not allow His Majesty to live today, nor will he let the families of civil and military officials live. Later on, you're just kidding yourself, haha. β
Xu Xiao's words were like needles piercing the queen mother's heart, each needle could make her feel the pain of her heart, and she kept shaking her head: "What you said is not right, Jiancheng just wants your and Xiahou's lives, he won't kill the emperor, he won't." β
"Won't? Haha, the old thing is still deceiving yourself today, you might as well tell you the truth, Zhao Jiancheng will kill His Majesty afterwards, and then slaughter you old thing and this old boy without mercy. β
"Don't deny it, why did Zhao Jiancheng send that crazy old eunuch who was the first to kill people in the capital to you. I don't hope that one day this demon will be so demonic that he will take your old woman's life without paying attention. β
When Zhao Chengde heard Xu Xiao's words, his hands turned white, and his muscles burst out: "Xu Xiao, you are talking nonsense." The eldest brother and the third brother won't do this! β
"Am I talking nonsense? Haha, don't you know each other better as brothers than me, an outsider? Don't think that your eldest brother and third brother are brothers who put their hearts into their hearts, there is no gap, after killing you and this old thing, these two brutes will kill each other. Everyone in the world knows about the Ten Dead Soldiers, but they don't know that these Ten Dead Soldiers were specially trained by Zhao Yuanji to deal with Zhao Jiancheng. waited for a seemingly peaceful opportunity in the world, and then killed Zhao Jiancheng and ascended the throne as emperor. β
"Zhao Chengde. A few days ago, I went to Xishu to do two things, one was to find my Xu family's ancestral grave, and then dig it, but you don't know that the war has been going on for years. I Xu Xiao don't even know where I boiled. When he carried his mother into Xishu, the ashes had nowhere to be placed, so they could only be sprinkled on the river. Another thing is that because the Ten Dead Soldiers are from the Xishu Sword Pavilion, you want to check the ins and outs of the Ten Dead Soldiers, and the result will not disappoint you! β
The queen mother's hair is whiter, like snow and frost, and her temples are silver and white, and the whiteness is shocking. She turned her head and grabbed Zhao Chengde's arm: "Chengde, you sue the queen mother." Is what Xu Xiao said right, right? β
Zhao Chengde's lips trembled, and in the end he couldn't speak, so he could only kneel on the ground and shout in pain: "Queen Mother!" β
"For so many years, you old thing has been hiding in the Luoyang Palace and don't want to see Your Majesty, do you think Your Majesty wants to see you? If it weren't for you and this old boy to lure the family members of the hundred officials into Beijing, there would not have been His Majesty pretending to be dead and entering Beijing, there would have been no Suzaku Gate Incident, and my Susu would not have disappeared. In the final analysis, it was Zhao Jiancheng and Zhao Yuanji who were forced to death by you, an old thing, and it was you who single-handedly created today's situation. Doesn't Majesty hate you? Can Majesty not hate you? You should be glad, glad that His Majesty is a good person, if you are like Zhao Jiancheng and Zhao Yuanji, the two of you would have been in the Netherworld Mansion a long time ago. β
Words are like knives, Xu Xiao's words are the sharpest knives, the knives are deadly, so that the Queen Mother can't believe it, and she can't believe it.
Xu Xiao slowly closed his eyes, and then opened his eyes, Wei Song clenched the silver gun in his hand, as long as his father-in-law gave an order, he would definitely not mind killing everyone present, and women were no exception.
But Xu Xiao calmed down, reinserted the knife back into the scabbard, and looked up at the sky, where the bright moon was in the sky, where the stars were brilliant, old thing, you just said retribution, my Xu Xiao's retribution has come many years ago, without Susu, this is the greatest retribution for me Xu Xiao - this dog's retribution.
After the Suzaku Gate Incident, Su Su disappeared, he was drunk and dreamed of death, often between drunk and not drunk, he saw his wife in white smiling shallowly at himself, still as usual, like a private school teacher to order himself to read and write.
Xu Xiao was unconvinced: "What do I do when I lead soldiers to fight?" β
Bai Su, who had a big belly, asked rhetorically: "You don't want to write?" β
The Xu family's family law is Bai Su, Xu Xiao muttered, "I didn't say or write", and then lowered his head and wrote again, Xu Yunfeng, the son next to him, pursed his lips and snickered, his father was a hero, but the ancients said that heroes were sad to pass the beauty pass, and the ancients did not deceive today's people.
He turned around and no longer looked at the people in front of the palace: "If Baoyu really has three strengths and two shortcomings, what this king said back then would still work." β
That sentence? That sentence - kill all the Zhao family.
Wei Song drove, gradually moving away, Xu Xiao sitting in the car did not have a trace of joy, but full of sadness, back then, if it could be changed back then, as long as it could change a little bit, it would be good. The gentleness and warmth that Bai Su gave Xu Xiao is not something that others can experience, and it has become something that can never be experienced again, and can only be experienced in dreams and memories.
If it weren't for the queen holding Xu Yunfeng's little hand and walking into the room, reminding herself, "Xu Xiao, you don't like Sister Su when you see it", Xu Xiao didn't know if he would be drunk to death.
After Xu Xiao's carriage left, a bright yellow carriage slowly drove up, and His Majesty, dressed in bright yellow clothes, slowly got out of the car, glanced at the direction where Xu Xiao was going, and sighed for no reason, as if this breath exhaled the breath of depression accumulated for many years, as well as the helplessness in his heart.
The Queen Mother saw that Her Majesty was coming, and the sadness in her eyes was even stronger, she couldn't imagine that what she had been planning for many years turned out to be a void, she wanted Her Majesty to know that she wanted to kill Xu Xiao, but she didn't know that Her Majesty hated herself.
His Majesty walked up to the Queen Mother and took the Queen Mother's arm: "Mother, let's go back to the palace!" β
After the Suzaku Gate Incident, His Majesty replaced the "mother" with "mother", tonight's "mother" seems to evoke the memory of the queen mother many years ago, at that time, the four brothers had not yet had a gap, playing with each other, reading and writing together, holding up the big characters written together for their own evaluation, but how did it become like this now?
"Emperor, Xu Xiao said that you hate the mourning family? Is he right? The Queen Mother asked cautiously, as if she was afraid to hear the final answer.
His face was full of sadness, and he shook his head gently: "How can a child hate his mother?" β
The Queen Mother exhaled a long breath, as if she had heard the best words, and there was a trace of comfort and comfort in her heart, and then she seemed to grasp a life-saving straw: "Emperor, you listen to the words of the queen mother, kill Xu Xiao, kill him, and avenge your two elder brothers, otherwise you will not be able to explain to your father if the mourning family dies." β
Then she shook her head again and muttered to herself: "You can't kill, Xu Xiao can't kill, he still controls 300,000 iron horses in Xiliang, kill it, and the world will be in chaos." Your father raised the army in order to be peaceful in the world, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, if Xu Xiao was killed, the mourning family would not have the face to see your father again. It's all the fault of the mourning family, and every qiΔ is the fault of the mourning family. β
His Majesty glanced up at Zhao Chengde, Zhao Chengde didn't dare to look at his imperial brother, as if he had done something bad when he was young, breaking his father's favorite vase and blaming the imperial brother.
His Majesty smiled lightly, stretched out his hand and patted King Jing'an's shoulder: "It's been hard all these years. β
Zhao Chengde's body stiffened, self-blame and chagrin welled up in his heart, the imperial brother was humble since he was a child, and he also took this into account back then, so he followed the will of his eldest brother Zhao Jiancheng and Zhao Yuanji to kidnap the families of hundreds of officials to Shangjing, where would he have thought that things would become like this?
"Chengde, the past is over, even if you can't get over, you have to find a way to get through." His Majesty said as he helped the Queen Mother to get into the car, "Even if you are the emperor, there are some things that you can't completely control, and there are still many things in the world that need you, King Jing'an." β
There are still many things going on in the world? What's the matter? His Majesty seemed to have predicted something, but he didn't pick it out, just mentioned it roughly, like a glimpse of light.
"Take a step back and talk about it, for the sake of Zhao Feng and Yan'er, you should also be the king of Jing'an." His Majesty's voice came down from the carriage, softly. (To be continued......)
