Chapter 20: Bai Hanhai
Because Bai Hanhai has been in Nanyuan in the western suburbs for two years, the edges and corners have almost been smoothed, and the pride and flying of the past have gradually been forgotten with the passage of time, Ye Qianling did not get up in a hurry, just stared quietly at Bai Hanhai, who seemed to have been numb, and fell into a burst of emotion.
That's why no one likes to come here, not knowing what kind of spell is here that can torture a good, self-willed person to this point. This kind of mentality of not thinking about oneself at all is already stupid in the eyes of normal people. Ye Qianling didn't want to stay here for two years to become such a person, although it was not good to think of Bai Hanhai like this, but there was no point in living a person without self-will. Ye Qianling really didn't want to follow in his footsteps, although she was a little scared, even as a princess, she didn't know what method Nanyuan in the western suburbs used to train people into killing machines.
"Miss Wu, it's time to go in." On the side, Si Yan saw Ye Qianling staring at one place, and looked at him with his eyes, it was the machine general who was called the Immortal Descendant, and knew that these two people knew each other.
Si Yan once investigated him, learned all about his deeds, and really admired this person, and once thought that if this person was born and raised in Yanguo, he would have an absolute position and ability to take him under his command. Si Yan admired this person's tenacity, tenacity, and perseverance, but two years later, after seeing Bai Hanhai appear on the battlefield with a blank gaze and a lack of self-awareness, he regretted this person's fate and sighed for this person's changes. If he hadn't encountered this, maybe the former twin stars would have been able to stand side by side on the galloping field, unlike now, no matter how much merit he has obtained, he will not be able to get rid of the identity of the dark guard, and he will always be inferior.
When Bai Hanhai just came out of the bamboo forest, he saw Ye Qianling sitting under the tree talking to a boy next to him, he only received the news half an hour ago, saying that the fifth princess Ye Qianling was sent to Nanyuan in the western suburbs, and his face showed a trace of disbelief. Only those who have experienced it know how terrible the western suburbs of Nanyuan are, and Emperor Guangde sent his daughter here, which is likely to ruin Ye Qianling's life. Because of what he has encountered, Bai Hanhai really doesn't want Ye Qianling to follow in his footsteps, unless he finds evidence that his father was framed, or he can only be a secret guard forever, from life to death, disaster to future generations.
Bai Hanhai and Ye Qianling's brother Ye Qianchen are very good brothers, the two grew up together since childhood, they are of the same age, they learn martial arts together, study the art of war together, and have a very deep friendship. And as Ye Qianchen's youngest sister, she has been learning martial arts with them since she was a child, and as an only child, Bai Hanhai has always wanted to have a brother and sister. After Ye Qianchen knew about this, he said to Bai Hanhai, My sister is your sister. Since then, in Bai Hanhai's heart, he has always taken care of Ye Qianling as his own sister.
After knowing this, Bai Hanhai's immediate reaction was to go to Ye Qianchen to ask clearly, although the edges and corners that had been smoothed out a long time ago, but because Bai Hanhai no longer had any hope for himself, but transferred the psychology of love and hope to the people he cared about.
Ye Qianchen hadn't seen Bai Hanhai's mood swings for a long time, and when he saw him arriving at the prince's mansion quickly, he was startled, and said to Bai Hanhai with a smile: "Hanhai, why are you here?" Is something going on? It's been a long time since I've seen you angry. ”
Bai Hanhai ignored Ye Qianchen's quip, and said to him expressionlessly, "What's the matter with the fifth princess?" I heard that she was sent to Nanyuan by the emperor, don't you know what place it is? Are you trying to kill her? Bai Hanhai's tone was a little excited, not as calm as he had been.
"Hanhai, I haven't seen you like this for a long time, I'm really happy." Ye Qianchen looked at Bai Hanhai, her voice was a little choked, and she felt a lot of emotion.
The two of them are such good friends, like-minded, originally inspired to be the twin stars of the night country together, open up the territory for the night country, and be the king of the world. But because of the identity of the secret guard, it is destined to be too restrictive, even if the emperor once specially approved Bai Hanhai to enter the high-level general meeting, but there is no way to order the whole army and get everyone's respect.
After returning from Nanyuan in the western suburbs, Ye Qianchen originally wanted to see the young man who was still heroic, the best in the world. But seeing a soulless robot, the brother who once looked down on the world has changed so far in just two years, which has always been an indelible regret in his heart.
Bai Hanhai heard Ye Qianchen say this, lowered his head slightly, and looked away, "Don't talk about this, such a gaffe is not suitable for you, you tell me, Ye Qianling will not be sent there by the emperor no matter what, you know what it looks like there, you know what it looks like when you look at me, you know that it is not a place for people to stay, it is not me who scares you, you don't want to destroy her." Bai Hanhai didn't feel good in his heart, he knew that his brother for many years, and the one who wanted him to cheer up the most was Ye Qianchen.
"It's the best thing to do right now." When Ye Qianchen heard this, there was no way, "Hanhai, Ling'er was framed and killed Ye Qianhao, and the queen mother left to save her, if this matter is not explained to the world, isn't the law just a decoration, can you be nepotistic?" ”
"Since you know that she didn't do this, you still have to send her there? Send her to Xiyuan, she will be abolished, can you bear to let a good child become what I am today? Bai Hanhai opened his mouth excitedly, saying what he had always wanted to say, the best way to torture a person is to make him have no self-awareness, even if he has self-awareness, he can't show it, he is already in pain enough, there is no way to change it, but Ye Qianling is still young, and there is still a chance to turn around.
"After all, she is a princess, the daughter of her father, and her father will not harm her, in order to save her life, this is the only choice." Ye Qianchen patted Bai Hanhai on the shoulder, knowing that he was about to go back to participate in the assessment of Nanyuan in the western suburbs, and he didn't let him enter the mansion, wanting him not to worry.
"Can you guarantee that by that time, the emperor will have a way to change the inhuman-shaped Ye Qianling who has been tortured?" Bai Hanhai said.
Ye Qianchen's body stiffened obviously, and the corners of her mouth gently pulled up a wry smile: "Hanhai, take good care of Ling'er, she is still a child, you can rest assured in other aspects." Because of the queen mother, she can't get over this hurdle in her heart, and you have time to enlighten her. ”
"Qianchen," Bai Hanhai eased his mind, knowing that this matter was indeed a certainty, "I'm not happy at all now, and I don't want Ling Er to be like this." ”
Since Bai Hanhai knew that it was irretrievable, he didn't do useless work and rushed back to the assessment field.
Raising his head, the two looked at each other, Bai Hanhai clearly saw the helplessness and sadness in Ye Qianling's eyes, and it seemed that there was lingering sadness between his brows. It's too similar to my own state two and a half years ago.
They didn't say hello to each other, they just looked away tacitly. Si Yan, who had been sitting next to Ye Qianling on the side, saw her tears sliding down her eyes in the sun, and was once again made by this situation and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
"Let's go," Si Yan pondered for a few seconds and patted Ye Qianling's back, "What are you thinking?" ”
"Nothing." Ye Qianling raised his head and looked at Si Yan, who was standing in front of him and blocking all the sunlight, shrouding himself in his shadow, and for a moment he didn't feel that he was blocking the warm sunlight, and when he raised his eyes, tears had soaked his eyes.
Ye Qianling couldn't hide her gaffe, got up and wanted to walk to the meeting point next to the bamboo forest, Si Yan was made to lose her mind by such tears, and almost instinctively grabbed Ye her's arm, "Miss Wu, we can be considered friends, you can tell me something, we can figure out a way together." ”
"You can't help it," Ye Qianling felt very uncomfortable when she heard this, and she didn't know what to do by this sudden concern from a stranger. Whenever he encounters something that he can't handle, Ye Qianling will become very indifferent, as if he is rejecting people thousands of miles away. Quietly breaking away, Si Yan grabbed his arm, pulled the corners of his mouth, nodded his head, and walked over there.
Along the way, I saw many people passing by Bai Hanhai's side, their eyes were full of admiration, such a young talent, with a prominent reputation, even as the most humble secret guard, he still couldn't hide his demeanor. How many people can't become secret guards, the biggest goal is to be like Bai Hanhai, even if his status is low, but he has a lot of military achievements, a righteous man and a gentleman, and a clear breeze in the moon.
"My name is Wu Ling, an orphan, from Kyoto, and I came to apply for the secret guard." Ye Qianling said expressionlessly.
There are very few female secret guards, it can be said that there are very few, because girls and boys are not worth comparing in many aspects such as strength, and ten female secret guards in an average of three years is already a miracle. Therefore, when they came to the place where the registration was reviewed, almost everyone looked at Ye Qianling. Except for his pale face, he couldn't find anything flawed.
"Why did you sign up for the Dark Guard? You should know that few girls dare to sign up here, but there are death indicators here. Bai Hanhai, who never spoke much, couldn't help but ask, Ye Qianling lowered his eyebrows, not daring to look at Bai Hanhai.
"Without a father or mother, to be a secret guard for a living." Hearing this question, Ye Qianling continued to deal with this lame reason that had been made up a long time ago.
"Coming here for a living? It's the first time I've heard of it. It was the first time Bai Hanhai was so aggressive, and the people next to him were wondering when this girl offended Bai Hanhai, who had always been silent, so that he targeted a person like this.
"It's better to come here than to go to some Fengyue places." Ye Qianling raised her head, knowing what Bai Hanhai was for, her smile was a little bitter, and there was a pleading in her eyes that was not easy to detect: Let me go.
Bai Hanhai's pupils were obviously shocked, and he didn't say anything more, and a middle-aged man who looked like a trainer next to him spoke, obviously saving this embarrassing scene now, "It's not easy for a girl to come to this place, since you came here, work hard, I wish you to pass the assessment." ”
Ye Qianling nodded politely, and the moment she left, she looked at Bai Hanhai's silent appearance, and wanted to go up and comfort her, but what kind of identity is it now, what position do you have, what ability do you have to be willful, and do whatever you want?
