Su Yueyang looked at Su Ning'er's eyes and said: "The imperial family has been trained for three years, and now more than five years have passed, and the eldest prince has not come back, in fact, he has not heard from him since three years ago, and even the royal Yu Linwei can't find a trace, it's not missing, what is it?"

Su Ning'er thought for a while and said, "The royal training is protected by cultivation masters, if you can't even find Yu Linwei, then you must be missing." ”

Su Yueyang said: "As soon as the news of the disappearance of the eldest prince came out, the chaos and suspicion among the thirteen princes began again, and it was at this time that our eldest brother was assassinated by Bai Feng. ”

"You should know that our Su family has always been not prosperous because of the bloodline, and we can gain a foothold among the thirteen princes, relying on the fact that there have always been strong people in the Six Realms in the family, since my grandfather left the family in pursuit of the way of heaven, all the hopes of the Su family have been pinned on the eldest brother, and his assassination and murder suddenly put my father into an unprecedented crisis. ”

"What crisis?" Su Ning'er knew very little about the past of the palace.

Su Yueyang said: "First of all, the seven princes broke with their father, switched camps and took refuge in other princes, in order to show loyalty to the new master, they united to suppress their father, and put all the shameless and despicable evil things they did on their father's head, among the thirteen princes, our Rongshan City is now almost reduced to an isolated and helpless situation. ”

"Ah, why haven't I ever heard my father talk about this?" Su Ning'er said with wide eyes.

Su Yueyang looked at Su Ning'er dotingly, and said softly: "Because you are still young, my father likes to see you happy every day, and he doesn't want you to get involved in this right and wrong." ”

Su Ning'er's eyes were filled with tears, and she suddenly thought of her marriage, and said, "But he still wants to force me to marry Wu Rulong." ”

Su Yueyang's eyes showed deep pain: "This is probably the most painful decision my father has made in his life. ”

Su Ning'er bit her lip tightly, recalled the bits and pieces she had heard before, and said, "Can the family's crisis be resolved only in this way?"

Su Yueyang was silent for a moment and said, "If there is another way, how can my father bear to let you marry someone you don't like." ”

Su Ning'er said: "But I really can't think of what King Wu can do for us." ”

"Do you remember that the second uncle hasn't been back to the palace for a few years?" Su Yueyang suddenly asked.

Su Ning'er was stunned, and didn't understand what Su Yueyang meant by mentioning the second uncle at this time, "Three years, no, four years, it's not right, it's been five years, I remember that I haven't seen the second uncle since I met the second uncle on my eleventh birthday." ”

"yes, five years. Su Yueyang sighed and said, "Then do you know where he went, why didn't he come back?"

Su Ning'er said: "Listen to what my father said, didn't you go to guard the bloodstained city?"

"Usually generals guard the city, often bring their families, even if they don't bring their families, they have the opportunity to go home to visit their relatives every one or two years, and the second uncle hasn't been home for five years, leaving his uncle and two sons in the palace, do you know why?"

Su Ning'er shook her head: "I don't know." ”

"Because Bloodstained City is too dangerous, it is the darkest, most evil and chaotic place in the entire continent. Su Yueyang said slowly, when he mentioned this name, his bright starry eyes actually revealed deep fear, "It is located in the westernmost part of the Great Xia Kingdom, it is the junction of Great Xia, the Phoenix Dance Heavenly Kingdom, the Demon Race, and the Demon Race, and it is surrounded by the entrance of the evil underground race, and every year our royal palace has to invest more than half of its income and troops there to consolidate the defense line in case the enemy invades, and the second uncle has been in the Blood City for five years." ”

"In such a dangerous place, only our soldiers and horses from Rongshan City are stationed, don't the other Hou Wang and the royal family of Anyang City help?"

"The qualifications to garrison Bloodstained City are determined by Xia Law. Su Yueyang said: " In order to enhance the national strength, the Great Xia Kingdom will hold a great court meeting every two years, the great dynasty will be a big competition of the comprehensive strength of the princes and kings, the top three will be rewarded by the royal family, and the best one will be stationed in the blood-stained city, our Rongshan City is located on the border, although the fief area is large, but more than half of it is barren and barren land, plus frequent wars, on the comprehensive strength of the princes ranked in the middle and lower, since the eldest brother was killed, we have been at the bottom of two consecutive great court meetings, if we can't win next year, we will continue to guard the blood-stained city, in fact, since last winter, our palace has been unable to make ends meet。 ”

Hearing this, Su Ning'er was speechless in surprise.

Su Yueyang said again: "I married you to Wu Rulong because King Wu promised to provide us with economic and military assistance, otherwise once the defense line of Bloodstained City is broken while we are defending, the Su family will face a catastrophe, not only the royal family, but other princes will also take the opportunity to annex us." ”

"This is not fair!" Su Ning'er continued: "Our Su family guards the Bloodstained City alone, protecting the safety of the royal family and the thirteen princes, they don't help or say anything, and they are ready to fall into the well at any time, I, I don't accept it!"

Su Yueyang smiled bitterly and said: "This is a world where the weak eat the strong, is it useful for you not to accept it? Actually, Xia Lu is fair, if you want to blame our Su family for being weak, who makes us not strong enough? Now, you should understand the pain and helplessness in your father's heart, right?"

Su Ning'er bit her lip tightly, and her breathing became rapid due to the imbalance in her heart.

Su Yueyang looked at Su Ning'er quietly, his eyes became more and more gentle, he slowly stretched out his hand, gently stroked Su Ning'er's little face, and suddenly said softly: "Little sister, I know that this marriage has made you very wronged, when I learned from my father that you were going to plan to escape with Ye Haotian, I thought about it for a long time. If you really don't want to, I won't force you anymore, and tomorrow, I'll go and push off your marriage with him. ”

Su Ning'er paused for a moment, "Push, how to push?"

Su Yueyang smiled, he straightened his waist slightly, his handsome face showed a charming smile that turned all beings upside down, and his slightly neutral voice suddenly became as pleasant as a silver bell, "Don't forget, I'm also a woman, if I change into women's clothes, my posture is not much worse than my little sister, Wu Rulong is lustful, I believe that with my appearance, although I am temporarily replaced, he should be happy to agree to this marriage, not to mention, I am also the apprentice of the Sword Saint, the youngest famous general in the Great Xia Kingdom......"

"No!" Su Ning'er's face changed miserably, and she interrupted loudly without waiting for Su Yueyang to finish speaking: "You can't marry him! I do, this marriage, I do!"
