Chapter 69 There is no way back
But somehow, now that she described it lightly from Zhang Xiaotian's mouth, she was convinced, or because Zhang Xiaotian showed that he was not afraid of power and was above board last night!
Although her love for Qi Xiao is strong, it is purely a superficial attraction between the opposite sex, and Qi Xiao took advantage of her feelings as a young girl to take advantage of the void and occupy her heart.
Although the taste of first love like this made her unforgettable for a long time, it still reached the point where it was unforgettable, when Qi Xiao's perfect image was destroyed, this relationship also dissipated with the wind, and for a while, her mind was blank, and she didn't know how to deal with it.
Zhang Xiaotian smiled at her transformation at this time and asked, "Miss Xunlan, let Liu Bei send you home, okay?" ”
Mi Xunlan was taken aback when she heard this and said, "I don't need someone to send it!" Then he galloped into the side street on the left.
Zhang Xiaotian glanced at Liu Bei at this time, Liu Bei was overjoyed at the moment, patted his horse and chased after him, ignoring the sideways glances of passers-by, and shouted: "Miss Xunlan wait for me!" ”
Zhang Xiaotian was happy at this time.
Mi Xunlan is really good, and she is very compatible with Liu Bei regardless of age and appearance. And the most important thing is that he saw that Liu Bei fell in love with Mi Xunlan at first sight, but it seems that if he wants to chase her, then Liu Bei will have to work hard.
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaotian felt that he had changed a lot, if he put it in the past, he would be more and more to women, and he would not refuse to come, but now I don't know what the reason is.
This is a lot darker, whether it is because he has too many beauties, or maybe it is because of the tragic blows suffered by the death of his beloved one after another, at this time he is a little reluctant to get involved in the love field.
After everyone is born and grown, they have to face the death of those around them, and finally end with their own death. In the course of this year, he experienced many times of this heart-wrenching pain of life and death.
This reminded him of the incident with Wang Rong last night, although there were some dirty thoughts at that time, but it had nothing to do with the love, and the pure essence was based on the instinctive impulse of opposites to attract.
But it's so hard to control.
Be careful when you see her again tonight, or it will be more complicated if you have some kind of relationship with her. I can only hope that she will not tease herself, because this woman is too good at seducing men.
Madame's mansion was in sight, Zhang Xiaotian immediately sighed and patted away.
The two Guan Zhang brothers and Zhongwei hurriedly rode their horses to follow, and the twenty-three horses swept into Liu Fen's wife's mansion like a whirlwind.
Mrs. Fen had already gone to the palace at this time, and there were only the four princesses and the princess Ben in the lady's mansion.
Liu Ben has matured a lot at this time, and he no longer sneaks out to play all day like before, or flirts with maids, and forms a group to make things wantonly.
The fourth princess took pity on his miserable experience and accompanied him to read and write, and Liu Ben also studied hard in front of the beautiful princess's cousin.
At this time, Zhang Xiaotian saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart, so he led Liu Ben to the garden, carefully taught him the Tai Chi swordsmanship, and sent his subordinates to fight with him.
When Liu Ben was practicing martial arts unwillingly, Zhang Xiaotian chatted with the fourth princess who was watching from the sidelines: "I really can't imagine that this kid has become so sensible now." ”
The fourth princess's eyes turned red when she heard this: "The person he loves the most is Sister Fang, and now his heart is full of hatred, not only Liu Mang, Dong Zhuo, but also his cousin,
Therefore, he wants to take your master as an example and learn to be both wise and brave, so as to avenge Sister Fang. ”
Zhang Xiaotian looked at Gongziben's gloomy concentration and perseverance on his face at this time, and a chill immediately surged in his heart.
He had an intuition that this Liu Ben would definitely not be an ordinary person in the future, but it was difficult to guess what he could do for the time being.
The fourth princess said in a low voice at this time: "He is willing to accept me, on the one hand, because I am your person, and on the other hand, because I hate Your Majesty, Liu Mang, and Dong Zhuo just like him. ”
Zhang Xiaotian felt uncomfortable at this time, and said, "Isn't Your Majesty the most respectful of Mrs. Fang?" Why do you sit and watch Liu Mang and Dong Zhuozhi like this? At the very least, the matter should be thoroughly investigated. ”
The fourth princess sighed faintly at this time: "No one can understand Your Majesty, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the imperial court has done its best to quell the rebellion.
The final outcome is that all localities support their own troops, the situation of warlords separating and the court in name only is irreparable, the first emperor is gone, His Majesty is young and reuses He Jin, which Cheng wants He Jin to be killed by the ten permanent servants,
Now they can only let Liu Mang and Dong Zhuo monopolize the power and cover the sky with one hand. Like Mrs. Fang, he should have severely reprimanded the guards to investigate thoroughly, but Liu Mang,
After Dong Zhuo intervened, the three moves and two styles turned big things into small things, and small things turned into nothing, which made everyone's hearts in the palace cold. ”
From the words of the fourth princess, Zhang Xiaotian saw the impact of the Yellow Turban Rebellion on the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The rise of the rebellion was mainly due to the corruption of the imperial court at that time, the constant fighting between eunuchs and relatives, the continuous wars on the frontier, the weakening of the country, and the drought in the country.
The poor peasants, who were desperate for no way out, rose up one after another under the command of the giant deer man Zhang Jiao and launched a fierce attack on the bureaucratic landlords.
And had a huge impact on the rule of the imperial court, in order to quell the rebellion, all over the country supported the army to respect itself, although the final uprising ended in failure, but the warlord separation, the Eastern Han Dynasty existed in name only.
After the most fundamental setback in the history of the imperial court, Emperor Ling of Han lost confidence and finally died. Only Empress He and the young Liu Wei were left behind, and Liu Wei succeeded to the throne.
So Liu Mang took advantage of the void and met the needs of He Hou both mentally and physically, and it was inevitable that the power would fall.
At this time, the fourth princess said sadly: "When shall we leave this ugly place and find a wilderness where there is no one, and let me make a fire and cook for you, while you hunt to make a living?" ”
Zhang Xiaotian could only smile bitterly in his heart when he heard this, if he stayed in Luoxia Mountain and didn't leave, maybe he could use this way to end up in the mountains and forests, but now it is difficult to ride a tiger and he can't stop.
Even if you get to Cao Cao, you may face a more complex power struggle, and in this era, it seems that there is no paradise.
Otherwise, Diao Chan would not be in danger of being plotted by the earth tyrants, and Zhao Yun would not have lost his wife and children.
At this time, Zhang Xiaotian sighed and told the story of the Peach Blossom Land to the four princesses, the beautiful four princesses were intoxicated with what they heard, and when their souls flew to the paradise that human beings longed for, Liu Fen returned to the mansion with a solemn expression.
Zhang Xiaotian and her immediately avoided entering the quiet room to discuss.
Zhang Xiaotian asked at this time, "What happened?" ”
"After the banquet last night, Liu Mang immediately entered the palace to find Empress He, no one knows what to say, of course there will be no good things to say about you." Liu Fen looked at him dejectedly and said;
Zhang Xiaotian only then understood why so many young children sat on the throne in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and when power was concentrated in the hands of one person, this person became the key to success or failure.
Modern democracies, full of shortcomings, are a thousand times better than a young child controlling the life and death of everyone.
"He Hou found me this morning, asked you about it in detail, and forced people to tell me their true relationship with you, I couldn't resist it." Liu Fen continued;
"How did you answer her?" Zhang Xiaotian asked in horror;
Liu Fen's expression became unnatural at this time, and she replied: "Of course I won't tell the truth, but it seems that she still believes that I am not obsessed with you, or because my previous reputation is too bad!"
You must not overestimate the strength of the He family, if Your Majesty is desperate and executes you on the spot, then the rice will be cooked, and no one will really clash with Your Majesty head-on for you. ”
After speaking, he lowered his pretty face and looked full of thoughts.
Zhang Xiaotian was angry in his heart when he heard this, and sneered: "If you want to kill me Zhang Xiaotian, I'm afraid Your Majesty will have to send a large army, and I will never surrender and arrest me." ”
"What? You said your name is Zhang Xiaotian? Your name is Xiao Tian! Xiaotian, Xiao Tian...... Oh! I see, your smile and Xiao are homophones,
Why does this Zhang Xiaotian sound so familiar, wouldn't you be the Zhang Xiaotian who became famous in Luoxia Valley? ”
Zhang Xiaotian saw that he couldn't hide it, so he had to nod and admit it.
"Zhang Lang, you are really a hard person to hide, people are afraid of you here, how can you think that you are still deceiving people like this, come from the truth, how many people know your identity?" Liu Fen said coquettishly at this time;
"Except for the He family, you are the first person to know my true identity, but you should not reveal my true identity to anyone, including those closest to you." Zhang Xiaotian said;
"Alas! Sometimes you seem to be a brave and unscrupulous person, but where do you think that you are such a famous person, it is really unwise for Dong Zhuo and Liu Mang to be enemies of you. ”
"Just His Majesty's personal guard corps has tens of thousands of horses, tens of thousands of soldiers defending the city, and the commander Li Dao is Liu Mang's person, if something happens, who can save you.
If something happens to you, how can people live! In the end, tears came out of her eyes, which showed how sad and frightened she was, but it seemed that she had other feelings.
Zhang Xiaotian hugged her into his arms with a heartache at this time, and said with a smile: "Don't worry! I am blessed with a great life, a great creation, so I will never die. ”
"Now that people are in chaos, their hearts are in turmoil, Zhang Lang quickly teach me what to do." Liu Fen said;
Zhang Xiaotian pondered for a moment and said: "There is no good choice now, only by escaping Chang'an, can we find a way to live." But before leaving, I had to break Liu Mang and Dong Zhuo's bodies into thousands of pieces to relieve the hatred in my heart. ”
"Then you have to agree to take Fen'er away." Liu Fen caressed his cheek lovingly and said;
Zhang Xiaotian said with certainty: "Of course, not only will I take you away, but Xiao Ben and the fourth princess will also leave with us." ”
"Isn't it to Cao Cao, Cao Cao is deeper and more terrifying than anyone else!" Liu Fen said softly;
Zhang Xiaotian said with a smile: "Don't forget who I am, I'm afraid that only when I go to Cao Cao will I have the opportunity to accompany you, what is the reaction at this time,
