CHAPTER XXIII
Sometimes Xiang Xiaoer has to admire the shameless spirit of the Liu family.
Perhaps the original overlord lacked this shameless spirit, and finally gave up this huge country to Gaozu.
The early morning sun brought warmth to the icy Yumen Pass.
Looking at the red sun rising in the east, Liu Wang unconsciously showed a smile on his face.
In the end, he survived, and if he didn't die, he would be blessed, and maybe he could look forward to his future life.
"Get to work. What's in a daze? ”
The cold voice shattered his expectations.
The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
Although he was lucky enough to pick up a life, his situation did not get better.
It is impossible for him to let him go so easily, and Xiang Xiaoer may regret it at any time.
is obviously a prince, but he lives a precarious life.
If there is an afterlife, I don't want to be reborn in the emperor's family.
"Work."
Xiang Xiaoer raised his hand and smashed Liu Wang's forehead.
This kid is afraid that he has lived enough, and he has said it himself, and he dares to be in a daze.
A busy day begins.
King Liu, the prince who does not touch the spring water with his fingers, is instructed to come and go like the newly hired man of Sun's rouge shop.
The rouge has been sold out, and there is no replenishment, Xiang Xiaoer naturally does not need to go to the street to solicit customers, and leads Liu Wang to change the house slightly, and it becomes a teahouse-like dress.
Then the door was opened to greet them, and the eldest ladies who were still waiting for them early in the morning continued to tell the unfinished story.
....
Yumen Pass General Military Mansion.
As soon as the eldest lady Huayang went out, someone knocked on the door of the chief soldier's study.
"What?"
The voice of the chief soldier of Yumen Pass came from inside.
"Miss went to Sun's Rouge Shop."
The person who came spoke respectfully.
The room was silent for a while, and the voice of the chief soldier came over.
"Got it."
The visitor hesitated and spoke:
"Sir. Do you need to send someone to follow? After all, there are still ten in the Xiang family. ”
"Got it."
The chief soldier of Yumen Pass interrupted him.
"No, the little one is gone!"
The man didn't dare to say anything more, and bowed away.
In the study, Hua Anguo, the chief soldier of Yumen Pass, put down the urgent report of the military situation he received this morning.
"The people of the Xiang family saved the people of the Liu family, it is really that the times have changed, thousands of years have passed, not only these barbarians, but even the Xiang family has jumped out again?"
Hua Anguo was stunned, not knowing what he was thinking.
Then he suddenly spoke:
"Someone!"
"Master, what do you command?"
Soon someone replied outside the study.
"Prepare, I'm going out."
"No!"
"I want to see what tricks your descendants are preparing to pretend to be ghosts in the city."
Far away in Sun's Rouge Shop, Xiang Xiaoer, who continued to talk about the twelve hairpins in Jinling, didn't know that a trouble was coming.
But she said that Sister Feng waited for another day, and the next day she said goodbye to Lao Nun and asked her to go to the house three days later to ask for a letter. That Qin Zhong and Zhizhi couldn't bear to be separated in every way, and there was no need to elaborate on how many secret periods there were behind his back, so he had to say goodbye with tears. Sister Feng went to the Iron Threshold Temple to take a look again. Baozhu insisted on refusing to go home, and Jia Zhen had to send a woman to accompany her. ”
After Xiang Xiaoer finished speaking, he took a sip of the water that Liu Wang had just poured out.
The water poured by this prince is sweet.
Just as he was about to continue, he saw a handsome woman in a black strong suit walk in, and said:
"I didn't expect the heroes of Overlord I, and future generations would like this story of being mixed in the fat powder pile all day long and unable to support the backbone of a man."
It is the eldest lady of the Yumen Pass General Soldier's family, Huayang.
Xiang Xiaoer looked up and saw a heroic woman.
"Su asked, although the eldest lady Huayang in the Yumen Pass General Soldier's Mansion is a woman, she doesn't like red makeup and arms, and her ability is not weaker than that of a man in the army.
Hearing Xiang Xiaoer's praise, Hua Yang smiled but didn't appreciate it:
"Childe is also as eclectic as the rumors, obviously he has great skills, but he hides in the rouge shop to tell stories that women love to hear."
Xiang Xiaoer took a sip of water:
"There are men and women in this world, and there are stories of men. Naturally, there is also a woman's story, why does Miss Hua, as a woman, look down on this woman's story. ”
The smile on Huayang's face remained the same:
"This sharp mouth is not at all in line with the identity of the descendant of the overlord of Western Chu."
"This is brutal and capricious, but it is in line with the identity of the daughter of the chief soldier of Yumen Pass."
Huayang stared at Xiang Xiaoer, secretly saying that he was worthy of being the descendant of the overlord, this handsome face, combined with that noble but not oppressive momentum, I am afraid that it will fascinate countless women in Tianhan.
"It's not that I don't like women's stories, I just don't like the daily trivial stories of women in the high-rise buildings of the deep palace."
Xiang Xiaoer didn't speak, and Huayang continued:
"Compared with this kind of vulgar, greasy and boring story, I am more interested in the story of the women's march and battle, and the recovery of rivers and mountains."
"Dancing knives and guns is a man's business, and the daughter's family still hides at home to embroider, read and write."
This was not said by Xiao Er, but by the exile who was standing beside him.
Huayang turned his head and looked at the most unfavored prince in the palace, and did not get angry with him, but said meaningfully:
It is because the people above have always had this kind of thinking that the people under the world will have this kind of thinking.
It seems to me that men can plow the fields. My women can also cultivate, men can learn literature, I women can also learn, men can learn martial arts, why can't my women learn it?
My Majesty the Emperors of the Tianhan Dynasty has always encouraged equality between men and women, and Gongzi seems to have an extraordinary bearing, but this enlightenment does not seem to be enough. ”
Thinking about it, Love didn't open his mouth, and looked at Liu Wang with interest.
Huayang's words were subtle, but the meaning of the words was almost a direct scolding, which is why you can't be the emperor, but an unfavored prince.
"My Tianhan has always advocated equality between men and women, and the women of my Han family are naturally treasures in the hands of men, but this is just like what is said in the twelve hairpins of Jinling, daughters are flesh and bones made of water, and men are made of mud.
This water has always been supple, how can it be used to defend against foreign enemies? ”
As a prince, King Liu has learned even if he is no longer favored, and he can speak skillfully.
And Huayang, as the daughter of the general soldier of Yumen Pass, coupled with her talent and intelligence, is naturally not weak.
"Childe is only soft with water, but he doesn't know that when the water is angry, it will set off a monstrous flood, and even the mud city wall will not be able to stop it."
Liu Wang was silent.
He really can't say Huayang.
"Water and mud are just a metaphor, and it is inherently unreasonable to use dead things as a metaphor for people, so although what Miss Huayang said is correct, it is unreasonable from the beginning."
Xiang Xiaoer spoke.
Huayang smiled disdainfully.
Just flip the table?
Compared with the identity of the descendant of the overlord, he is more like the royal descendant of Gaozu.
"Miss Hua must not have come here today just to discuss the relationship between water and mud, right?"
Changing the topic to Xiao Er, I don't want to continue to discuss it too much.
Huayang smiled slightly.
"I'm not very interested in the story of the 12 golden hairpins in Jinling, but I'm a little interested in the rumored 12 golden hairpins themselves, and I've heard rumors.
These 12 golden hairpins are very magical, and their personalities are different, but they are all a top and one divine object, and the little woman is not talented, and I think I have a relationship with this golden hairpin. ”
Xiang Xiaoer was stunned for a moment, and then smiled:
"Miss Hua is confident."
"I'm just telling the truth."
Huayang said as a matter of course, as if everything was just as she said.
"Self-confidence is a good thing, but if you are too confident, I am afraid it will become conceit."
Xiang Xiaoer spoke meaningfully.
"Does Childe think I'm a little conceited?"
Hua Yang looked into the other party's eyes.
"Confident and conceited, just try it and you will know, if you succeed, you will naturally be confident and fail."
Xiang Xiaoer grinned, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth.
Even if you don't finish speaking, everyone understands.
"Okay, then I'll give it a try."
Huayang spoke.
Xiang Xiaoer didn't get up, and raised his hand to signal the other party to take care of himself.
Huayang didn't care, she had already investigated this place before, and naturally knew how to try.
Walked up to the 12 boxes and waved the maid back.
Then he turned his head and didn't look at the box, but stared at Xiang Xiaoer.
Thyme fragrance?
Jade butterfly hairpin?
Golden hairpin shines?
Change your life for the Lord?
Oh, it's just a trick.
It's just that other tricks are played by charlatans, but this trick of the twelve hairpins in Jinling is played by people who are really capable.
It is precisely because of the real ability that this benefit is true.
This trick is naturally true in the eyes of everyone.
But in her opinion, the trick of the rivers and lakes is always the trick of the rivers and lakes.
Just like this fateful person.
What is fate?
It's not that the other party wants it to have a fate.
The whole room was silent.
There were 12 boxes, and there was no change, and everyone even took a look at them several times, but they didn't see a box secretly opened.
"Childe thinks I'm conceited?"
Huayang was not disappointed, but asked Xiang Xiaoer.
"Conceited or confident depends on the result."
Xiang Xiaoer took the teacup and asked the exile on the side to pour water into it.
"That boy thinks I'm out of luck?"
Huayang asked again.
After taking a sip, the tea poured by the prince was no different from ordinary people if he drank too much.
"I'm just a rouge guy who tells a little bit of a novel story at the top of the day, is there any reason for you to ask me how do I know? If there is a fate, the golden hairpin will react, if it does not react, it is naturally unfathomable. ”
Huayang looked at Xiang Xiaoer very seriously again:
"So Childe is saying that I have nothing to do with Jin Hai?"
Xiang Xiaoer shook his head and grinned:
"I didn't say it, but Jin Hai said it."
"Which golden hairpin said that?"
It was not Hua Yang who said this, but Hua Shoucheng, the general soldier of Yumen Pass, who walked in from outside with a group of people.
Most of the people present were ladies in Yumen Pass, and the combined forces of everyone's family occupied almost the entire Yumen Pass.
But at this time, each of these eldest ladies stood up and said hello obediently like a good baby.
"I've seen Mr. Hua."
Hua Shoucheng waved his hand to signal everyone not to be polite.
"It's really lively today, and I don't know what kind of wind blew you, the general soldier of Yumen Pass, to us."
Xiang Xiaoer smiled, but he didn't even stand up.
"Hahaha."
Hua Shoucheng let out a hearty smile.
"I heard that my daughter came to fetch the golden hairpin that she was destined for, so I came to take a look."
"Then you heard it wrong, there is no Jin Hai who is related to Miss Gui here."
Xiang Xiaoer's words made the atmosphere in the whole room become low.
Hua Shoucheng looked at him seriously and asked rhetorically:
"Who said that?"
Xiang Xiaoer smiled, and then his face became very cold.
"I said it."
The tiger is not powerful, and there are always people who treat him as a sick cat.
Hua Shoucheng can't remember how many years no one dared to speak to him in this tone.
If it were someone else, I am afraid that he would have been dragged out and cut down by his order.
But the descendants of this overlord have to think twice.
A hundred-legged insect that dies but does not stiffen.
Back then, Empress Lu did kill everyone in the Xiang family.
But how could the Xiang family, who had destroyed the tyrannical Qin, had millions of troops, and divided the country equally with the Chu River as the boundary, nothing left?
Dare to walk openly and brightly as the other party, in the arid land, it is enough to explain a lot of problems.
But as the chief soldier of Yumen Pass, he can't easily fall in front of so many people.
"Why not?"
Hua Shoucheng asked rhetorically.
Xiang Xiaoer smiled, and the atmosphere relaxed a little
"It's not happening, or it's the right time."
"The timing is wrong?"
"It's late."
In an instant, Wang Ningxiang and Miss Liu broke out in a cold sweat.
The other ladies around them were even more subconsciously away from the two.
Hua Shoucheng looked at Xiang Xiaoer with a little meaning.
"Could it be that these twelve golden hairpins fell asleep and didn't feel me?"
Huayang opened his mouth, which made Wang Ningxiang and Miss Liu immediately breathe a sigh of relief.
Xiang Xiaoer looked at Huayang as if he had re-acquainted with each other.
Unexpectedly, this eldest lady who seems to be spoiled is unexpectedly kind, and she is not at all like his father.
"I'm not a golden hairpin, how do I know, if Miss wants to, I can try again."
"Okay."
As soon as Xiang Xiaoer opened his mouth, he didn't think about it, and Huayang agreed directly.
"But this time I want to try."
"How do you want to try?"
Xiang Xiaoer vaguely guessed the other party's thoughts.
Huayang smiled slightly, and walked towards the beginning of the twelve boxes.
"Try it!"
Xiang Xiaoeryi grasped Huayang's hand stretched out to the box.
Everyone's eyes widened, and even Huayang was stunned for a while.
It's so fast that you don't even feel the other person's movements.
"Miss Hua, if you try like this, you'll die."
"Boom!"
The guards led by Hua Shoucheng drew their swords one after another to surround Xiang Xiaoer.
Hua Shoucheng didn't speak, and his face didn't even change in the slightest, but he didn't stop the guards from making their own claims.
Huayang reacted after a while and smiled:
"I should have thought of it a long time ago, you are the descendant of the overlord, the descendant of the overlord of Western Chu, who is the enemy of ten thousand people, and you should have this ability."
Xiang Xiaoer didn't speak, just looked at her with a smile.
"Xiang Gongzi, holding a girl's hand like this, but you are responsible, are you ready?"
"That's not ready, because I'm just an irresponsible person, and I don't care about killing or burying it."
Huayang: . . .
is worthy of being the descendant of the overlord, and in the face of women's routines, he adopts the practice of dooming to be alone.
"Xiang Gongzi is good at kung fu."
Hua Shoucheng opened his mouth at this time, smiling and praising him.
"This is not kung fu, this is divine power."
Na Cheng thought that Xiang Xiaoer didn't appreciate it at all, and opened his mouth to retort.
