Spend it safely, born in the royal family, who can really be alone. Xia Yeteng played with his fingertips, and the potted plants on the desk were indifferent to Bai Mengtan's request.

Bai Mengtan knew very well that the young man in front of him was very deep in the city. But the reality is in front of her, at present, apart from him can help herself, who else can she rely on?

Crystal tears flowed down from her beautiful eyes in an instant, like an underground fountain that had been accidentally dug up.

No matter how hard-hearted people look at it, I feel pity.

It's not that Xia Yeteng doesn't want to help her, but Bai Mengtan's words reminded him of the suffering he suffered when he was in Yanbei Palace, he said that one day, the people who had bullied him, he would pay it back tenfold and hundredfold.

looked at Bai Mengtan, who was raining pear blossoms in front of him, and said that he was not moved at all, that was really a lie.

It's just that once he decides to help her at this moment, will he give up the foundation he has finally laid in the Northern Qi Kingdom.

"Brother Shizi, can you help Tan'er? The queen mother was seriously ill last night, but we didn't even have a trustworthy medical officer by our side, and I knew that the queen mother's illness suddenly broke out, and I didn't know what to do. ”

recalled that last night, Bai Mengtan was lying on the side of the bed, tired little body.

Natsuyoto's hand gripping the blade tightened, and he finally let out a relenting sigh.

"What good will I do if I help you?"

She got Natsuyoto's answer, and wiped her red eyes with her sleeve with her hand.

patted his chest and promised, his eyes were firm, "When I successfully gain a foothold in the palace, the military power in my hands will be at the disposal of the prince and brother, even if it is to lay down the country of Yanbei for you, my sister is duty-bound." ”

The little girl's childish words were like a bright light that suddenly appeared in the dark night, even if the light was insignificant, but it had already struck the unwavering pool of stagnant water in the depths of his heart, making it turbulent.

Bai Mengtan's conditions were not tempting for him. If it weren't for the fact that he was suffering from a hidden disease, he really didn't pay attention to the Northern Qi Kingdom at this time.

But the little girl's eyes at this moment reminded him of being spurned by thousands of people and struggling to survive.

The young man's thin lips were hooked, and his shallow smile seemed to be gentle and fearful. If a timid person is to look at his silver hair and the other side of his face that cannot be seen clearly, it is enough to make people timid.

"Third princess, don't forget your promise to Xia today." He stretched out his hand and slowly picked up Bai Mengtan, who was kneeling on the ground.

Summoned three stones in.

Qiao Zhen had been guarding outside the Zixuan Hall for three hours, and it was almost noon, which was the hottest time of summer.

More than a dozen guards guarding outside the hall wore heavy military uniforms, their hair covered by military caps, sweat dripping down the hair strands on both sides of their ears, and some of them were even pierced by the scorching sun, unable to open their eyes.

Qiao Zhen anxiously looked at the guards guarding the gate of Zixuan Palace, and saw that the subordinates who were waiting with him were all sweating, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

The prince of Yanbei was kind to him, three years ago he was ordered to escort the prince of Yanbei to the Northern Qi Kingdom as a hostage, and the road ahead was relatively safe, but when passing through the desert, a storm hit on the way, and a group of people were forced to hide in a cave for refuge. But who knew that this was the hole of the rattlesnake, seeing the enemy in the back, the soldiers in the cave drew their swords one after another, and fought with the poisonous snake, but there were still many soldiers who were deeply affected by its poison.

Seeing that the group of people he brought with him would be wiped out, even if he survived by himself, he was afraid that he would only be dead and apologize.

At this time, there was a pleasant sound of bamboo flutes from outside the cave, and the rattlesnake wrapped around the soldiers' bodies suddenly gave up resistance, like a group of captive puppies, wagging its tail and swimming in the direction of the flute, and finally clinging to the feet of the silver boy.

Even though it had been three years since this incident, the situation at that time was still vivid in his mind.

At that time, he was also suffering from snake venom in his body, and he knew that the lives of himself and his subordinates were in danger, but it was the young man who took out the unique hundred poison pills of Yanbei Kingdom from his arms and took them one by one for each soldier.

He had only heard of this hundred poison pills, and it was rumored that the process of making them was very cumbersome, and the medicinal materials prepared were also extremely precious.

What he didn't expect was that since he was wasted by their group of rough people, he secretly swore from then on that he owed the boy his life.

Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, as long as he can do it, he will not hesitate.

But now that he knows that Engong is in trouble right now, how can he sit idly by?

At this moment, a red smoke suddenly shot out from the sky above the Zixuan Palace, and it quickly disappeared into the sky.

Qiao Zhen's face changed suddenly, this red smoke was given to Xia Yeteng by him at the beginning, and he told him that as soon as the red smoke came out, he would definitely appear.

If it weren't for the moment of crisis, presumably Yanbei Shizi would not have used red smoke rashly.

Ignoring the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers, Qiao Zhen pulled out the spear he carried with him and subdued the two guards guarding the door with one move, and the guards behind him were all brothers who had followed him for many years.

Seeing Qiao Zhen rushing in, they also followed and broke into Zixuan Palace, but as soon as they arrived in Zixuan. It was expected that they would be embattled, but only a few maids in the hall looked at them in confusion and walked away.

At this time, the gate was suddenly closed, and the group of people who came in from Qiao Zhen quickly surrounded the middle, all of them were armed, and watched everything around them vigilantly.

At this time, the door of the temple opened, and a series of crisp silver bells came from the door, and the girl's delicate and white face was fresh and sweet, combing with the sea of Sanqi, with two cute pigtails, and the whole body exuded a lively and bright vigorous atmosphere.

"General Qi, it's polite."

At this time, tens of thousands of long arrows were shot out of the hall above the glazed tiles.

"Third princess, what are you?" Qiao Zhen looked at the girl in front of him who couldn't see his intentions.

Wasn't she going to kill him?

Bai Mengtan leaned over and said, "It's not a secret, Mengtan has a request for General Qiao, and he is afraid that the wall will have ears, so he deliberately makes it difficult, and I hope I don't mind." ”

It is rumored that the third princess has always been rude and willful, and Qiao Zhen also thought so before, so he was worried that Xia Yeteng would fall into her hands.

Could it be that he was wrong? But the three princesses did turn them away before, and it didn't seem like they did it on purpose.

"Qiao is not talented, I'm afraid it will disappoint the third princess."

Bai Mengtan expected him to say this, but the elder brother of the prince had instructed that as long as he was responsible for taking him to the bamboo building. As for whether he was willing to stand on her side afterwards, Bai Mengtan's little brain couldn't think of so much for a while.

"Then what if it's about the safety of the prince of Yanbei?"

"Third princess, what is there to ask Qiao to help."

Now that the benefactor is in her hands, even if Qiao Zhen is a hundred reluctant, she can only grit her teeth.

Bai Mengtan, who had just won back a city, was a little proud in his heart. But now, when he makes a mistake, it's better to take his deceased brother there first.

"General Qiao, please come here." Bai Mengtan led the way, and the less people knew about the injury of the prince's brother, the better.

In order to find out the life and death of the prince of Yanbei, Qiao Zhen gritted his teeth and put down the weapons in his hand, ordered his subordinates to stand by in place, and followed the direction guided by Bai Mengtan.

On the bamboo building, the sound of the piano was leisurely, and I saw a young man with silver hair spread out, lowering his eyebrows and not seeing his whole face, wearing a plain brocade robe, and leisurely caressing a sandalwood guqin.

Qiao Zhen is a rough person, and he doesn't know anything about music, but he just thinks that Xia Yeteng has a unique flavor in the rhyme he plays.

Seeing that Yanbei Shizi was fine, his hanging heart was put down, and he clapped his hands again and again to praise.

"Don't do it for many days, the prince still has all the instruments at his fingertips."

As soon as this remark came out, the piano stopped immediately.

Xia Yeteng took back the piano and got up to say politely to Qiao Zhen.

"Xia is in distress, and I hope General Qiao is worried."

"If the prince is there, as long as the prince is in trouble, Qiao will definitely do his best to help." Qiao Zhen also learned from the literati and laughed.

Seeing that Xia Yeteng made a gesture of please, Qiao Zhen sat down at the tea table next to him.

Xia Yeteng gave Bai Mengtan a look behind her, and she motioned to go downstairs and wait.

The two chatted for a few words, and Xia Yeteng could roughly deduce who was instigating behind the scenes, instigating Qiao Zhen to come to find Bai Mengtan's fork.

also explained to Qiao Zhen, the meaning of inviting him in, and what he was going to say next.

At this moment, Sanshi, who had been keeping a guard on the tree in the distance, with his keen hearing, noticed that a large number of teams were coming in the direction of Zixuan Hall one after another.

In a hurry, he could only use a hidden weapon and carry a note.

Shooting into Xia Yeteng's room, Qiao Zhen saw a four-cornered dart with a note on it.

Vigilant propped himself up, looking back and forth.

Natsuyoto immediately opened the note.

The sexy thin lips are lightly picked, and the eyes are full of calculation.

"General Qiao, the next thing is up to you."

Jin Luanjiao, Bai Chenyi is sitting in Jiaoli, wearing a golden crown and a black gold silk dragon robe. Dajiao, who was lifted by six people, stood at least twenty officials in front of and behind.

At the back of the procession was a satin-clad carriage with hollow windows carved in mahogany, and beaded roofs from top to bottom.

Have all one's goods in the window.
