Before dawn the next day, Gu Yuexi braved the cold winter wind and snow, and rode alone to Xiabei County.

Just after noon, when asked the soldiers under the gate of Xiabei County, Gu Yuexi took out a golden token from her arms with a solemn face, and drank, "I am the princess of the imperial court, and I am ordered to come to meet your Lord Xia!" ”

Where have these soldiers seen any princess, as soon as they heard this, they immediately panicked, and the leader hurriedly approached Gu Yuexi's horse to take a look, and saw that the token was cast with the four big words "Ru I am coming", and immediately gasped.

Hurriedly ordered a few soldiers guarding the door behind him, first ordered them to carefully greet Gu Yuexi to wait at the city gate, and at the same time quickly ran to tell Xia Fan.

After a while, I suddenly heard the horses' hooves in the city gate, and then I saw Xia Fan coming to greet him in civilian clothes.

He was about to speak, but he saw him dismount first, strode towards him, and asked, "You are the princess today?" ”

Gu Yuexi was not afraid, held the token in her hand, and shook it in front of Xia Fan, dazzling and brilliant, and said, "I am today's 'Pingtai Princess' Gu Yuexi!" This is a token given by the Holy Father, and I am ordered to come to you to discuss important matters! ”

Hearing the so-called "Princess Pingtai", Xia Fan was stunned at first, and then trembled suddenly, the outsiders who came by the four roads didn't know who the "Princess Pingtai" was, but Xia Fan knew very well - the princess of the Song family, and Yang Meng, the sister of "Princess Anrong" Yang Yingying.

Xia Fan couldn't help but look up and down at Gu Yuexi, who was straddling the horse's back and wrapped in a thick jacket, and said secretly in his heart, "This yellow-haired girl really has a bit of the arrogance of the little princess back then!" In broad daylight, I dare to say that I am a remnant of the previous dynasty, and I am really not afraid of death! ”

But after all, the stakes were high, and when his life was at stake, Xia Fan calmed down, and followed Gu Yuexi's intentions and sneered, "Are you really a princess?" Why is it that there is no holy decree and no court to match? Since ancient times, how can there be a female streamer who has come to announce national affairs - it must be a woman pretending to be a princess! He raised his voice and exclaimed, "Someone! Give this official the right way to capture this bold and reckless woman! ”

The words fell, but not a single soldier dared to step forward under the order. Especially when everyone saw Gu Yuexi's gold medal in his hand, although they didn't know whether it was true or not, they already had a chill in their hearts.

Xia Fan saw that all the soldiers were looking at each other, and saw that the onlookers at the city gate were already in turmoil, and knew that he would be completely complete if he was a little timid. But seeing that she was just alone, she felt a little relieved, and smiled viciously, "What are you doing in a daze?" It's hard to believe whether this thing is real or fake! ”

Gu Yuexi couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh when she heard this, and then pointed at the soldiers behind Xia Fan and shouted, "Wait, are you trying to follow Xia Helu to rebel!" ”

"Princess!"

All the soldiers behind him were all disciples of Da Xu, not Xia Fan's dead soldiers brought by the Song Kingdom. was already frightened because of the previous burning and looting in the city that alarmed the imperial court.

Now seeing Gu Yuexi scolding herself for wanting to rebel, her eyes widened in fright, and she couldn't breathe through it, and several timid soldiers were already so frightened that their legs were weak and they knelt down in front of them, shouting, "Forgive your life!" ”

Seeing that some people were kneeling and worshipping, the rest of the soldiers also came to their senses, and they all knelt on the ground and shouted for mercy.

"You guys!" Xia Fan saw that all the soldiers knelt down one after another, his face turned pale with anger, and he scolded sharply, "You spineless fools! Stand up for Lao Tzu! ”

"Xia He Road!" Gu Yuexi pointed to the horsewhip on the horse's back and shouted, "Do you want to resist the decree and disrespect!" ”

Knowing that the situation was wrong, Xia Fan had to temporarily put away his temper, and forcibly suppressed his anger and knelt down at Gu Yuexi and said, "Princess forgive you...... The slave will lead the horse into the city for the princess......"

Today's Xiabei County has long been a purgatory on earth after the sacking of Xia Fan's military horses, and the city is full of corpses and burned houses and shops that have not had time to be buried.

Xia Fan walked in front of him with his horse, and Gu Yuexi looked at the various tragic scenes that came into view, and her whole body was terrified. Fearing that the red-eyed Xia Fan and the others would take the opportunity to kill themselves, they kept their left hand firmly on the saber and stared around vigilantly.

"Don't be afraid, princess, this is all a disaster done by bandits and rogues. With our protection, the princess will be safe! Xia Fei didn't look back, just lowered his head in the wind and snow and led the horse rope, step by step and stepped heavily in the snow and slowly moved forward.

This murderous warning shocked Gu Yuexi's heart trembling, forcibly easing the tension and suppression, and chuckled lightly on her face, "You slave only cares about holding the horse rope, how can the princess's daughter be afraid of this scene!" ”

Xia Fan listened, lowered his head and sneered, and slowly spit out the two words "Antai".

The so-called "Antai" in Xia Fan's mouth does not refer to anything else, it is the name canonized by the Emperor of the Song Kingdom for his two princesses - Anrong and Pingtai.

At this moment, it seemed to be mentioned casually, but the intention behind it Gu Yuexi had already been clear, so she leaned forward and said with a smile, "Master Horse is this afraid?" ”

After hearing this, Xia Fan stopped talking, and walked for almost three pillars of incense in the wind and snow, and after letting Gu Yuexi almost see most of the tragedy in the city along the way, he arrived at the gate of the summer ya.

As soon as he entered the mansion, Xia Fan ordered everyone to wait outside the house, and he led Gu Yuexi to the living room to discuss.

"What are you going to do with me?" Gu Yuexi saw Xia Fan cautiously closing the door, trying to hide the panic in her heart, and asked with a casual posture on her face, "But do you want to kill me!" ”

"Princess!" Xia Fan suddenly knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, "I, Xia Helu, have been loved by His Majesty the Emperor, although I have been committed to the Xu Kingdom as a slave!" But I have never forgotten the idea of returning to the country! I have been thinking hard about finding the bloodline of the Song family so far, and today thanks to God's eyes, I finally have to taste what I want! ”

Stunned by Xia Fan's sudden scene, Gu Yuexi immediately forgot what to say next.

Xia Fan wept bitterly and kowtowed, "The master can only supervise me with peace of mind in the future, and I, Xia Helu, swear to the sky that I will restore the former glory of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

"You ......"

Gu Yuexi had thought about talking to Xia Fan countless times on the way here, but she never thought about this. In the face of such a bitter drama, especially when I remembered the various past events of the Song Kingdom that remained in the depths of my memory, a sour moment came to my heart.

Xia Fan was crying on the ground, seeing that Gu Yuexi didn't respond for a long time, he secretly looked up, and saw that Gu Yuexi's eyes were moist and swollen, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, but the more he cried on his face, the more he died, and he almost fainted when he was in the depths of love.

Gu Yuexi hurriedly bent down and helped her up, and said with a choked tone of relief, "We are all Song people, why should the horse blame himself so much, please get up quickly!" ”

Xia Fan wiped his tears, slowly got up, and then respectfully bowed his hand, "There were many people before, and the slaves were afraid of revealing the identity of the princess. I have no choice but to be disrespectful to the princess, and I hope the princess will forgive her sins! ”

After Xia Fan entered the house, this series of bitter scenes had already made Gu Yuexi's head blank, where did she remember the previous situation, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Don Ma Mo said this, you and I are a family, why is it so?" ”

Xia Fan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and then asked in a low voice, "The slave has been privately searching for the royal bloodline for many years over the years, but I don't know where 'Princess Anrong' is now?" ”

Hearing Xia Fan inquire about her sister's whereabouts, Gu Yuexi's nose suddenly became sore, and her tears dripped involuntarily, and she replied in a sad tone, "My sister passed away three years ago......"

Looking at Gu Yuexi's miserable appearance in front of him, especially when he heard the news of the death of the long-rumored "Princess Anrong", Xia Fan's heart had already blossomed, and he almost cried out excitedly,

immediately pretended to be sad and gloomy, and cried bitterly, "Which bastard did it!" Even if I risk my life, I will avenge the princess! ”

Hearing this, Gu Yuexi howled sharply, "Even if those two people turn to ashes, I won't be able to forget them!" As he spoke, his eyes flashed into flames, and he gritted his back molars and said hatefully, "One is that human trafficker Bai Ang!" Another one is a person called 'Gentleman's Sword' Xie Zimao! ”

For the latter, Xia Fan had never heard of his name, although he was a little confused, he didn't have time to think about it, seeing that Gu Yuexi was so worried about her sister's death, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Can the princess still remember the battle when Bai Angna destroyed my Song Kingdom?" ”

"Then how can you forget?" Gu Yuexi gritted her teeth and nodded hatefully, "That faction looks like hell on earth, if I don't report this ugliness, what face will I have to go down to meet my father and the people of the Song Kingdom!" ”

Seeing her take the bait, Xia Fan took advantage of the situation and said again, "But the culprit of that war to destroy the country is not only Bai Ang, but there is one more person!" ”

"Who'!!"

"Han Yu, Han Xiaozhi!"

Xia Fan's eyes suddenly rose, and he continued with murderous intent, "Back then, when Bai Ang raised troops to attack my Song Kingdom, it was Han Xiaozhi who sent someone to send a letter to Yang An, the general of the border pass, promising that as long as he did not return to the army for reinforcements, he would agree to allow him to establish himself as a country in the south!" Now his son, Yang Ce, has established a puppet Song regime in the south, but he has long been in a corner of peace, only greedy for pleasure, forgetting that he is also a Song person! I forgot that he was also the nephew of the first emperor! The princess said that this Han Xiaozhi should not be killed!!! ”

Hearing Han Yu's name, Gu Yuexi was momentarily stunned and asked in disbelief, "Where did you hear all these things!" ”

Seeing Gu Yuexi's reaction so big, Xia Fan couldn't help sneering a few times in his heart, and immediately raised his right hand and cried bitterly and swore bitterly, "Princess Mingjian, what the slave said is true!" If you don't believe me, ask someone else – it's no secret! ”

Seeing Xia Fan so determined, Gu Yuexi only felt a tingling pain in her chest, and suddenly her eyes were blurry, and she couldn't hear a sound in her ears, and the vision fell extremely quickly and fell headlong to the ground.

In the vague scene where Xia Fanguang moved his mouth without a sound, Gu Yuexi's eyes were pitch black, and she fainted on the spot.
