Chapter 31: Leaving the Jade Gate Pass
Loulan received Dongying's covert help.
Xiang Xiaoer didn't know about this matter, and even if he knew, he didn't care.
He had one more thing on his mind now.
That is, whether to leave the Yumen Pass or not.
Originally, according to his plan, he was going to wait until the end of the war before leaving.
Take a look at one side
But just now, he found that the Dongfang dragon qi was beginning to thin, and Tianhan's dragon veins made a weak sound.
What does this mean Xiang Xiaoer knows very well that Emperor Zhao, the current reigning emperor of the Tianhan Dynasty, is about to usher in a catastrophe.
"Who could it be? Tianhan still has five years of luck, isn't he afraid of backlash now? ”
Xiang Xiaoer buried his head in thought.
"Most likely it won't be those families, those guys are treacherous, and those old guys who hold military power in their hands won't be so impulsive, so it can only be those ~ Saiwai barbarians?"
Xiang Xiaoer's eyes lit up: "Tsk, it's so good-looking, although the strength is not weak, and there is a reason to make a move, but Loulan is the only one with divine power, and now she is stopped by the army at Yumen Pass, so it can't be Loulan, and the Nanban side probably doesn't have the brains to plan an assassination." So the only possible ones are Dongying and Goryeo? ”
The more Xiang Xiaoer thought about it, the more interested he became.
"Tsk, I'm afraid this Luoyang is lively this time."
Xiang Xiaoer glanced at Sun's rouge shop, where he had been staying for more than half a month.
"Actually, it's good to live like this, if I wait for my revenge to be over, I'll find a good-looking woman to open such a small shop, and it's not bad to eat and drink every day, but unfortunately, it's not the time yet."
Does Xiang Xiaoer hate the Liu family?
must be hateful, the outside thinks that he is a descendant of the Xiang family, but in fact, there are no descendants of the Xiang family, Lu Pheasant is not a benevolent character.
How could the Xiang family, who had lost the overlord, survive under the pursuit of the powerful Lu Pheasant.
All the doors were dead, including the livestock.
The rumored escape of the overlord and Yu Ji's widow under the cover of everyone is just a story made up by the storyteller in order to attract everyone's attention.
It's just that because everyone passed it on like this, this fake spread for a thousand years, and it became true.
It's a pity that Xiang Xiaoer knows that this is fake, he is not the descendant of the overlord, he is the white dragon of Western Chu, the dragon vein of the founding of Western Chu, and he is also the dragon soul that has been suppressed by the Sword of Heaven under Mangdang Mountain for thousands of years.
He has never been a good dragon, and he didn't kill Luoyang after escaping, not because time has made the hatred fade.
It's because his strength hasn't fully recovered, because he is not sure to face the entire Tianhan, because he wants to make up for the mistakes of the year, and he wants to destroy the Tianhan in the period of total victory.
He wants to tell the world that if it weren't for the idiocy and stupidity of the overlord, the world should be his Xichu.
So he resurrected Geng Gong, the god general of the Heavenly Han Dynasty, at Yumen Pass, but unfortunately he underestimated Loulan, and the god of the Heavenly Han who came back to the world only lasted for a few hours this time.
He casually destroyed the vanguard of Loulan.
Although the strength has not recovered, it is still easy to face these stinky fish and rotten shrimp.
However, this also made him realize that there is actually a certain problem with his plan, Tianhan's thousand-year-old luck is coming soon, and now is the time when the strength is going downhill, and for some reason, other countries have also begun to awaken their divine powers, all of which show that the real troubled times are coming.
Demons come out of troubled times, and heroes come out of troubled times.
He couldn't have destroyed the Heavenly Han alone, as he had planned.
But it doesn't matter, he doesn't want this country, all he wants is to make the Liu family pay the price.
So there was such a lively thing in Luoyang, he must have wanted to join in the fun, and the battle in Yumen Pass could not end in a short time.
If you want to come back again, you have a decision in your heart, and Xiang Xiaoer made a decision immediately, ready to say goodbye to Widow Sun's mother and daughter and go to Luoyang.
When she learned the news, Yin Yin and the two were obviously a little unhappy, they had been living together for nearly a month, although Widow Sun knew that the two sides were not all the way, and it was impossible for you to stay here all the time with the character and identity of your own cheap brother, but now that she was suddenly leaving, she was still a little uncomfortable for a while.
But even so, he knew that the other party had something important to do, and he wanted Xiang Xiaoer to take some silver taels, but he was rejected by the other party.
In his words, if you are a man, you have to count, since you have said that you don't need to be paid for food and shelter, then you don't need to be paid, even if the other party gives it to him in the name of a gift, he can't receive a woman's money, and it is not easy for orphans and widows to survive in this world.
After getting acquainted, the other party treated him well, and he also liked Yin Yin's cute little Lori, and he cared more about their mother and daughter than himself.
Separation is always sad, Xiang Xiaoer didn't want to cry like his daughter's home, and after saying goodbye, because he didn't have anything to pack, he left directly.
Looking at the back of the other party's departure, Yin Yin couldn't help crying.
She really likes this brother.
Because she was raised by her mother alone since she was a child, coupled with some bad rumors, no matter where she goes, Yin Yin will always be looked down upon by some people.
Although she was naturally lively and never expressed her unhappiness, she was also extremely envious when she watched other children play happily.
Because adults educate the children around her not to play with her, and her mother is busy working all day to support herself, so the lonely Yin Yin can only run to the tavern next door every day to find fun.
Although she is precocious, she never causes trouble for the guys and shopkeepers in the tavern, but after all, she is a child, and she will always attract the dislike of the people around her.
But even so, she still enjoys having nothing to do on weekdays.
He saw all kinds of life in the tavern, which also made him reveal a maturity that did not match his age, but a child will always be a child.
Maturity is not with a child, what he really needs is a happy childhood.
She will not forget the first meeting with Xiang Xiaoer that day, that good-looking big brother, who did not show a disgusted expression towards herself like everyone else.
From the look in his eyes, he saw the kindness from the heart, and he couldn't forget the taste of that piece of mutton, which was the best food she had ever eaten in her life.
After that, Xiang Xiaoer lived in her house, which was also the happiest period of time he had ever lived since he grew up.
Every night, the other party rubs his head and points to the stars in the sky to tell stories that have never been told by anyone before.
He knew that his brother was not simple, although he was very young, but he also understood the meaning of a prince who was inferior to him and begged for help.
She didn't like the prince, not because of what the other party had said in order to survive, but because he could feel that every time she saw the prince, his smiling, shapeless brother would always change something.
She didn't understand the meaning of hatred, but she knew that it would prompt everyone to leave her.
13 The prince was sent to the barracks, and she was very happy that day, and he felt that at least his brother would be by her side for a while longer.
However, the distinction is so unexpected.
He hadn't cried since he was sensible, and he finally couldn't help crying.
Xiang Xiaoer heard the cry behind him, he didn't look back, he couldn't turn back, no one made him have to take revenge, but he himself told himself all the time that the lives of the soldiers in Xichu, the lives of Yu Ji, the lives of the overlords, and the lives of men, women, and children were all pressed on his head.
If it wasn't my fault at the beginning, maybe I would have changed the ending.
With his strength, he can really give Yan a happy future, at least it is not a problem for him to grow up happily and safely, but she is not qualified for this.
Life is always unsatisfactory.
These were the words that the beautiful woman told him.
Back then, he was a dragon, and he didn't understand.
Now that he's human, he understands.
"Brother, my birthday is two months away, will you come to see me?"
Yin Yin's crying voice sounded from behind.
Xiang Xiaoer's pace gradually slowed down, and then he turned around and showed a big smile:
"Of course!"
Looking at Xiang Xiaoer, Yin Yin smiled strongly, stubbornly wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with her little hands.
"That's it!"
"That's it!"
"Liars are puppies."
"Well, it's a puppy to deceive."
Reincarnated as a human, Xiang Xiaoer made his first vow, but he still doesn't know how heavy this oath is.
After saying goodbye to Yinyin's mother and daughter, Xiang Xiaoer did not rush to Luoyang, but went straight to the barracks.
There are people there who owe him his life.
He has saved a person's life, and he has changed a person's life, and he doesn't want some interest, but it's not his style.
The wind was cold at night.
After the daytime battle, the soldiers of Tianhan were resting physically and mentally exhausted at this time.
Without alarming the vigilant soldiers, Xiang Xiaoer went straight to the place where Liu Wang was.
Since he was a dragon vein in his previous life, he could clearly feel the thin dragon qi on the people of the Tianhan royal family.
The prince and the princess, as well as the emperor of the dynasty, were like the shining stars in the sky in his eyes.
It's just that he didn't expect that he originally wanted to find King Liu first and then find Lu Wenhou, but he didn't want the two to be together.
It seems that the life of this unfavored prince is not particularly bad.
The two of them who saw Xiang Xiaoer were stunned for a while.
Then Lu Wenhou couldn't help but step forward excitedly:
"Is it you?"
Looking at the tiger's tearful eyes, the tall and tall Lu Wen Houxiang Xiaoer's eyes flashed with a hint of disgust.
If he is a delicate little lady and puts on such a posture, he can still accept it.
A big man with five big and three thick, doing this kind of posture really makes him a little disgusted.
"No need to do this, you and I meet is also fate, I said at the beginning, tell me my name, we will be friends, since we are friends, you can call me by my name."
"How can this be so, Engong has the grace of reinvention for me, how can I call Engong by his name."
Lu Wenhou objected at the first time.
However, Xiang Xiaoer insisted again and again, and finally Lu Wenhou agreed to come down and call him a brother.
Lu Wenhou called Xiang Xiaoer Brother Xiang, and Xiang Xiaoer called the other party a virtuous brother.
For this title, Xiang Xiaoer reluctantly accepted.
Although it seems that he is much younger than Lu Wenhou, but in terms of actual age, he is really a young dragon who has lived for more than 1,000 years, and calling the other party a virtuous brother is really not an advantage.
"Since you two are here, it's okay, I'll find another one after another."
I didn't want to waste too much time, and I was afraid that I would miss the Luoyang drama, so Xiang Xiaoer opened his mouth in time to change the topic.
"I'm going to Luoyang later, and tomorrow the two of you will move to Sun's Rouge Shop in the city to help me take care of Sister Sun and Yinyin."
Hearing this, Lu Wenhou didn't react, but Liu Wang asked with some surprise:
"What are you doing in Luoyang?"
Grinning at the child, revealing a mouthful of white teeth:
"Watching a play."
The king asked again:
"What play?"
Xiang Xiaoer showed a meaningful expression and replied:
"Jing Ke assassinates the King of Qin!"
Liu Wang's face changed.
"You're going to the palace?"
Xiang Xiaoer nodded, and shook his head again:
"I'm definitely going to the palace, otherwise how can I see this big drama? But don't get me wrong, I'm not that Jing Ke. ”
Liu Wang's face changed, his brain was running wildly, and when he heard Xiao Er say that he was going to Luoyang, he had a hunch that the other party might be trying to scare his father.
After all, from the murderous aura exuded by the other party when he faced Xiang Xiaoer directly, he could feel the other party's hatred for them.
If the other party ran to the palace to kill him, he really wouldn't be surprised, but at this time, listening to the other party's words, it seemed that it was not him who wanted to do something to the palace, but someone else.
"Who is it?"
"I don't know."
Xiang Xiaoer didn't lie to the other party, although he felt that there was a high probability that it was Dongying or Gaoli, but before he saw it with his own eyes, he couldn't make a decision.
"But for sure."
Xiang Xiaoer looked at Liu Wang very seriously and said:
"Your dad is going to die."
Liu Wang: I@¥$&!
If it weren't for him, Liu Wang must let him know why the flowers were so red.
It's a pity that there is no if, if you can't beat it, you can't beat it, if you rush up now, I'm afraid it's him who knows why the flowers are so popular.
"So, aren't you going back to see your cheap daddy one last time?"
Looking at King Liu, whose face was constantly changing, Xiang Xiaoer nodded secretly in his heart, it seems that although he is not favored in the palace and is chased and killed when he goes out, as the most miserable prince of Tianhan, he still cares about that cheap dad very much.
In fact, he didn't know that the other party's face changed because he was angry with Zu'an's words.
Liu Wang really thought about Xiang Xiaoer's question seriously.
Get back?
To be honest, there is indeed a need to go back, once his father dies, although his eldest brother will be the crown prince now, but the third brother with the support of the military and the fifth brother with the support of the postal minister will never let the other party take the throne so easily.
The imperial court and the palace will definitely usher in great changes, and he can also take this opportunity to seize the opportunity to gain benefits in Luoyang.
But if you think about it carefully, even if you go back, even if your father has left a will, and you have no foundation of your own, you will not have any chance to ascend to that position, and you may even be eliminated first.
So in the end, he decided to stay in Yumen Pass honestly.
If the father who didn't have much affection for him was lucky enough to survive, he would continue to accumulate his strength at Yumen Pass and wait for him to return to Luoyang to fight for that position.
If the other party didn't survive this time, he would not have attracted the attention of his brothers who were far away from Luoyang, and when they faced that position for a while, they would at most shoot some assassins to assassinate them.
And away from the whirlpool, he can take this opportunity to win over the soldiers of Yumen Pass.
Seeing that King Liu had made a choice, Xiang Xiaoer didn't say anything, to be honest, he still had some good feelings about this prince, after all, he likes honest people, and this thirteenth prince is a particularly sincere and wonderful person.
instructed the two to take care of Yin Yin, and Xiang Xiaoer left the barracks.
Normally, ordinary soldiers are not allowed to leave the barracks, but fortunately, Lu Wenhou has been promoted to captain at this time, and in addition to necessary patrols, he is usually allowed to return to other places to rest.
Liu Wang is more troublesome, if he exposes his identity, it is normal to have this privilege, but if he does not want to expose his identity, there is some trouble.
Fortunately, Lu Wenhou is very valued now, and he can solve it with his help.
After Xiang Xiaoer left, the two discussed, and they didn't wait for tomorrow, so they went directly to Sun's Rouge Shop tonight.
It was so late that two big men went to knock on a widow's door, and it was really nice to say.
Fortunately, after Widow Sun carefully determined the identities of the two, she didn't let them stay outside for too long, and let them in.
I wanted to rest here, but I didn't want someone to come to the door again, it was Chang Li, the general of Zhengxi who came to seek Xiang Xiaoer's help.
It's a pity that if he had come a little earlier, he might have been able to see people, and he was destined to return in vain at this moment.
However, seeing Lu Wenhou here, and the lack of thirteen princes of the dynasty was also an unexpected gain.
As the general of the expedition to the west in the court, Chang Li naturally knew about the exile, and at this moment, he could also guess the other party's idea of blending into the army, but he didn't expect that the other party would find the descendants of Wenhou Lu Bu.
Tomorrow, we have to beware of Loulan attacking again, and Chang Li, who had already learned that Xiang Xiaoer had left, went back without staying too long.
And Liu Wang and Lu Wenhou, who lived in the original room of Xiang Xiaoer's house, did not sleep directly.
Instead, we talked openly and honestly.
Through what Xiang Xiaoer said before, Lu Wenhou probably guessed the identity of King Liu.
At this time, it was natural to ask carefully, and Liu Wang did not hide from him and told the other party his identity and situation.
Afterwards, he told Lu Wen Houxiang the identity of Xiao Er.
Only then did Lu Wenhou know that his life-saving benefactor was actually the descendant of the overlord of Western Chu back then.
Not to mention how long the lover talked about this night.
Shan said that Xiang Xiaoer went out of Yumen Pass, and he prepared to go straight to Luoyang under the stars.
But he didn't walk long before he was stopped by an old acquaintance.
"Little brother, this book is good but deliberately leaves an ending and doesn't finish, this person stays in Yumen Pass well, why did he suddenly leave overnight?"
The tavern keeper in a green shirt blocked his way.
"Young people eat too much, so they naturally want to come out in the middle of the night to digest and digest, but I don't know the old neighbor, you are so old, you are not afraid of catching up with the wind and cold when you come out in the middle of the night, what is the purpose of this place?"
