Chapter 190: Atonement

The emperor is very sad, he has spared the eldest prince several times, but he has repeatedly taught and refused, this time he made a painful determination to remove the eldest prince from the candidate to inherit the throne, send him to the imperial mausoleum to guard the tomb, and not allow him to come back.

Approaching the New Year's Pass, there are wars on the border every day, because the out-of-territory herdsmen also want to take advantage of the New Year's Eve to enter the customs and grab a batch of supplies to go back for a good New Year.

Although the soldiers resisted desperately, they still lost a city.

Now I have to talk about it for a long time every day, and Xiaoliu is full of sorrow when he sees his father and them come back every day.

One day, Uncle Huang suddenly came to her window.

"Little Liu, this king is here to take you out to play, do you want to go?"

"Okay."

Xiao Liu followed Uncle Huang all the way around.

"Uncle Huang."

"Huh?"

"I feel like everyone is busy, is something wrong?"

"No, don't think about it."

How could he tell her that because her third brother made a wrong decision and fell into the encirclement of the enemy, her eldest brother desperately saved him, but because of this, he lost a city, and he was waiting for them to atone for his crimes, otherwise......

"But ......"

"Don't be, don't you like his food the most, let's go upstairs and eat a little."

Nangong Han led Xiaoliu to the restaurant and ordered a table of delicious food.

But Xiaoliu didn't have much appetite and looked out the window.

In the window on the opposite side, which was only a little cracked, a few people could be seen loomingly.

"Ning Hou, what I need is the obedience of the Zhenguo Mansion, and I don't want them to die, are you too heavy?"

"Second Highness, if you don't trample them on the soles of your feet, how can you be willing to work for others!"

Ning Hou lightly picked up the teacup and took a sip.

The second prince stared at him closely: "That can't allow the enemy to betray the country, I want to be in that position, but I don't want to become a traitor." ”

"Weichen doesn't dare!"

"If you don't dare, don't do less things that harm others and yourself, don't forget who you are, let me know, if you contact the enemy again, don't blame me for not being merciful."

"Yes!"

Ning Hou lowered his head slightly and lowered his eyes.

After the second prince left, Ning Hou looked deeply at the back of him leaving, his eyes were half-narrowed, and the corners of his mouth were contemptuously hooked.

Nangong Han took care of Xiaoliu meticulously, "Eat some, this is your favorite food." ”

"I'm not hungry."

Xiao Liu shook his head lightly.

"Are you still hungry? Come, drink some soup first, it's very light and not greasy. ”

Nangong Han held it with a spoon and handed it to her lips.

Xiao Liu was looked at by him like this, and he had no choice but to open his mouth, if he had the first mouthful, there would be a second bite.

Nangong Han sandwiched the vegetables and fed her one bite at a time, watching her like a small animal, the movement of chewing her mouth, and the corners of her mouth hooked.

It's still good to look like this, it's good to have a small appetite, how can it be bad.

In the next few days, Uncle Huang took her outside the city to ride horses and shoot arrows, walk her dog, go shopping, and buy things...... Xiaoliu was very happy, but it didn't take long for the imperial uncle to tell her, "Xiaoliu, I'm going to the border, you are at home obediently waiting for the king to come back." ”

Xiao Liu frowned: "Even Uncle Huang is leaving?" Can't you go without going? ”

"This king is just going to see, how can you not go to the overseers who send grain and grass, well, I will be back soon."

Nangong Han rubbed the top of her hair.

This time, I don't know when I will come back, and I am afraid that it will take a lot of effort to repel the enemy and take back the city.

I was separated from the emperor's uncle, and when I went to the Hanwang Mansion the next day, I heard that the person had left, Xiaoliu was very angry, why didn't he even wait for a while, he was so anxious, so wait for her to send it! Stamped all the way back to the house, she was so angry that she whipped the roadside flower bed with a whip, "Everyone has something to hide from me, I'm not a child anymore, why don't you tell me!" ”

"It's always like this, it's always like this, I'll protect myself! I'm not a child! ”

Although Xiao Liu was very angry, she didn't show it in front of the adults, she knew that they were already very annoyed and couldn't cause trouble.

Nangong Han rushed to the border with grain and grass, and rested at the inn on the way.

"Master, why don't you wait for the county lord to say goodbye?"

Liufeng sorted out the clothes for the prince.

"No need, I can't bear to part."

Nangong Han sat at the table, studying the road map.

I'm afraid that this road will not be smooth, and we must study how to go.

"Master, it's not early, I've been on the road, so let's rest early."

Liufeng sorted out his belongings and came over with tea.

Nangong Han looked up at the window, "You pay attention to some grain and grass, this king is looking." ”

When Liufeng went out and closed the door, he saw his master lying on the table and studying.

Soon it was time for the Chinese New Year, and the capital was full of lights, and it was very lively.

Xiaoliu looked at everyone in the family with a smile on their faces, preparing New Year's goods and decorating the family.

The mother is talking to her subordinates, assigning duties and expenses in various places; Erniang looked at the account book, and the second father went out to check the accounts...... There's something for everyone.

Xiao Liu felt that he had nothing to do, so he ran to the street to wander around, "Spring, summer, autumn and winter, you all go and buy me food, I'll wait for you here." ”

"But, we're all gone, who will protect Miss?"

Chunlan said worriedly.

"You can't go far, not to mention I'm not Miss Jiao, go ahead."

Xiaoliu walked to the stall selling fried noodles.

"You can't go far, not to mention I'm not Miss Jiao, go ahead."

Xiaoliu walked to the stall selling fried noodles.

"Boss, bring me one."

"Okay."

Xiao Liu sat and waited, and someone next to him was selling a handicap, looking not like someone from the capital, and beckoned, "Come and show me." ”

The man didn't seem to hear it, so Xiao Liu could only walk over, pick one up, and take it in his hand to see: "This looks a little chic, but I've never seen anything like this." ”

"Miss has a good eye, this is a small purchase from outside the territory, one of them, and there is no other place."

The little brother who sells the goods sells hard to sell.

"It's so amazing, this, this, and these two, I want all of this."

Little six o'clock, let them all wrap up.

"Ouch, okay, Miss is really discerning, and the ones she picks are all high-quality goods!"

The little brother happily wrapped it all up and handed it to her, such a bold one is not easy to touch.

Xiaoliu paid the money and took it back to the stall, she had already placed a bowl of noodles in her place, picked up the chopsticks, and hadn't eaten yet.

A man sat down next to her and knocked the bowl over.

"What are you doing, sick seedling, aren't you sick again?"

Xiao Liu stared at Ning Huaijun speechlessly.

"You're sick, I just happened to bump into you and wanted to say hello to you."

Seeing that the whole noodle bowl on the table had been overturned, he raised his hand.

"I'm sorry, I knocked you over, I'm calling you again."

While wiping his hands, he walked to the boss: "Boss, prepare two more bowls." ”

Standing at the boss and waiting for the face, his eyes swept slightly to the corner of the front and stared at a man on this side.

He had just seen Xiao Liu in the distance, and when he was about to come over, he found that she had gone to the side, and after the boss put the noodles on the table, a person eating noodles at the next table got up, and when he passed by Xiao Liu's seat, although he did not pause, he felt that there was a problem.

That's when the bowl of noodles was knocked over.

That man...... Will it be grandpa's man? Eyebrows, shot at the man, I don't know if it was his discovery, or if the person was really grandpa's person, and quietly left.

"Miss, this is shortbread, this is an oil fruit, dragon's beard candy ......"

Spring, summer, autumn and winter came back one after another, took the food, and set a table.

Holding two bowls of noodles, Ning Huaijun walked back to his position and watched Xiao Liu eating fried chestnuts with sugar.

"The noodles are good, eat some first, it's not good to eat too many snacks, and you should eat less things on the side of the road, let's go to the restaurant to eat in a while."

"You're so annoying, you can manage more than my mother, so you don't eat it."

Xiaoliu got up and left.

Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter hurriedly followed with snacks, and Ning Huaijun put down the silver and chased after him.

"It's okay if I don't talk about it, I heard that there is a new storyteller in the teahouse in front of me, and he spoke wonderfully."

Xiao Liu stuffed a preserved fruit into his mouth and clapped his hands, "Then let's go." ”

The teahouse is full of real people, and the lobby is sitting or standing, all of which are guests.

"Little Er, is there a private room upstairs?"

Ning Huaijun took out a piece of silver.

"I'm sorry, guest officer, there are too many guests these days, and the room is long gone."

Ning Huaijun pulled Xiao Er to the side, "Find a way to vacate one." ”

and the silver was put into his hand.

"Guest officer, don't embarrass me, I really can't make it out, and there is no way to make a small one."

Xiao Er returned the silver.

"Ning Huaijun, it's okay, even if there is no private room, the lobby is very good, there are many people.

Little two, it's not difficult to find a position, right? ”

Xiaoliu smiled.

"Yes, the guest officer, please."

Xiao Er shook the handkerchief on his shoulder and took the lead to walk forward.

"Look at how it is over here, and the corner is a little quieter."

Xiao Er wiped the stool and motioned for them to sit down.

"So be it."

Xiao Liu didn't care, but Ning Huaijun was worried about insecurity.

Xiao Liu walked to the stool, and just about to sit down, a man walked over: "The little one has seen the county lord, the prince, Your Highness, please go upstairs." ”

"May I ask who is Your Highness?"

Ning Huaijun asked.

"You'll know when you two go up."

Xiao Liu looked up and looked at the upstairs window, "Let's go." ”

Looks like I've met a nasty ghost.

Xiaoliu and the others followed upstairs, pushed open the door, and after entering, sure enough, they saw a nasty ghost.

"Meet His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

Ning Huaijun gave up.

Xiao Liu stepped forward directly and sat down with a swagger, "Wait for me to have a cup of tea first, I'm thirsty." ”

Poured a cup of tea and drank it slowly.

The second prince raised his hand, motioned for Ning Huaijun to sit, and looked at Xiao Liu: "You guys also come to listen to the book, this person is really good." ”

Xiaoliu pouted, "I haven't listened yet, I don't know if it's good or not." ”

"Xiaoliu, your face is not very good, but you are not feeling well?"

The second prince looked at her with concern.

You're uncomfortable, your whole family is uncomfortable, it's really uncomfortable to see you! Grinning, "No, I'm fine, by the way, what story did he tell?" ”

"Talking about a big hero who went to the battlefield, died on the battlefield, and shrouded in horse leather, it's very bloody, you listen to it."

The second prince raised his eyebrows and motioned for Xiao Liu to listen carefully.

The voice of storytelling in the lobby came into the private room: "This general, he is really jealous of his talent, he is not yet twenty years old, because of his reckless temperament, he chases the enemy with a spear and kills the hinterland, and the blood in the sky is all over the sky, killing many enemy soldiers, and the enemy is frightened and full of blood. ”

"Just because the enemy general captured his wife, he desperately resisted, with several swords in his body, with full of anger and the belief of saving his wife, he forced himself to the enemy's tent, just when he thought he was going to kill the enemy and rescue his wife, the sky was full of arrows raining down, falling from the sky, no matter how he dodged, there was no way to avoid it, and finally, alas, ......"

"You mean, what happened in the end?"

The listeners below urged.

"In the end, the rain of arrows shot him out, and he was full of feathered arrows, like arrows, and the blood of the sky echoed with the blood and water of the ground, and it is said that the blood of the ground stained a piece of land, and after a hundred years, the color of the soil was still blood red."

The storyteller shook his head and sighed.

Xiao Liu in the room choked his palm, no, the eldest brother and the second brother are so powerful, it won't happen to them.

The spectators at the bottom were arguing for another one, and there were many people shouting, so the storyteller made an exception to talk about another one.

"Okay, let's tell another story about Mulan's joining the army......"
