Chapter Thirty-Eight: Plum Blossoms Bloom Alone

Although the military attache who was detained here in this major case is only separated by a wall from the people of the second military department, but the vigilance is indeed a world of difference, just gathered these officials who have escaped back from the fifth grade or above, Xiao put in a lot of effort, he patted his chest to the seventh prince, and promised that not even a single mosquito could fly out.

But when he stood in front of the Seventh Prince again, he was dumbfounded, obviously there were many people in the hall, but he couldn't find the Dingxi general who led the army this time, but this Dingxi general was over seventy years old, although he was old and strong, but it was impossible to escape in this kind of place, unless he would turn into a bird and fly out. But the Dingxi general on the roster was indeed crossed, Xiao Rang carefully recalled what happened that morning a few days ago, and the person was indeed arrested from the Dingxi General's Mansion, a seventy-year-old white-bearded old man, when his precious daughter was still lying on the threshold and crying for a while--why can't a living person be found now?

He suddenly remembered the person he saw when the Seventh Prince joked with him, his face was as white as a woman? I didn't look closely at that time, but now I think that the son who doesn't know whose family is even when he talks to others, he is soft, and the wide military uniform does not match her petite figure at all, and if she doesn't pay attention, she won't guess that he is not a man at all.

Most of these people are young eunuchs, relying on the power of their families to ascend to the sky one step at a time, it is rare to see strong men over forty years old, and there are even more people who do not have beards under their lips, and they didn't think about it at that time, but now it seems that the young lady who dresses as a man is naturally the stand-in of General Dingxi.

Xiao Rang scolded himself secretly, he was so sorry that he had been with the Seventh Prince for so long, and he didn't know that he had been stolen and replaced. But even if I know it now, I'm afraid that the person who came up with this strategy has already sent the real general Dingxi out, pretending to go to the toilet on the road, taking the opportunity to change, even if it is found here, it doesn't matter, I'm afraid that the person has already planned everything, this case is a hand-picked serious case, in order to sort out several intertwined forces, you have to take into account the emperor's face, the defeat of Gaul has made the emperor angry, if there is such a thing now, The Seven Princes who were pushed to the Imperial Court must be the first to bear the brunt of the emperor's reproach, and it is inevitable that the emperor will do something unfavorable to the Seven Princes with the surname that the emperor likes to play with the question, and that person saw this point before sending a substitute for the dead ghost in, even if he wants to investigate it now, he can only knock out his front teeth and swallow it in his stomach, at this time, maybe the Dingxi general has already eaten chaos noodles thousands of miles away, it is really a good strategy, even he has to bow down.

"I see," the prince still had the same expressionless face, as if the man had taken everything with him since he left, "I don't know who came up with it?" ”

The Seventh Prince, who had already guessed the whole story in an instant, walked quickly to the figure dressed as a man, "Miss, can you tell me who you are here for?" ”

Xiao Rang noticed that the five-grade military attache uniform that had been hovering beside the girl seemed to be suddenly stunned and motionless, and the rough-looking military general who was licking the plates one by one also put down the greasy plate in his hand and stared at the girl as if gloating.

"I am the daughter of General Dingxi, Da Zhoulu's parents committed crimes, and the eldest son can bear it on his behalf, although I am not a man, but I can't bear to see my father in prison, so I voluntarily come to be punished, please don't embarrass my father again."

Sure enough, he is a very well-behaved person, it seems that he really has to admire the old general Dingxi's cunning, maybe he found such a stand-in for his daughter before he set out on the expedition, and then when he saw that the signs were wrong, he immediately asked this girl who didn't know how to spend hundreds of thousands of gold to send it to him, this kind of line of reproach for his father Xiao Rang is really too familiar, a few months ago, there was a Sanpin Jing official who recognized a Qinglou woman as his goddaughter, Then when the incident occurred in the east window, he sent the person who didn't know whether to call his goddaughter or the seventeenth aunt's wife to the main hall, and even Huang Yanjing was so angry with him that he only sentenced him to exile with his whole family, and he didn't even bother to kill, and he was a laughing stock for a while. Now this old general of Dingxi is still playing this trick, which is a bit too new.

"Why are you so bothered・・・・・・ The Seventh Prince looked at the delicate and pitiful girl in front of him in a daze, and suddenly sighed.

"Brother, no matter what you do, I won't blame you, I was prepared before I came here." The girl hung her head and said in a low voice.

"What?" Xiao Rang tried hard to keep his eyeballs from bulging, "Are you really the daughter of General Dingxi?" ”

As soon as the words came out, even the military general who had been sitting in the corner eating and drinking glared at him angrily, "It's unbelievable," seeing that the situation was wrong, Xiao Rang hurriedly retracted his tongue that he spit out, "I'm sorry, this... The one who doesn't know is not guilty・・・・・・"

"No, how can a weak woman be allowed to confess her sins under the king's law, what is the crime, I will help her bear it!" A person next to him rushed over with a shout, staring and spraying saliva on Xiao Rang's face who was blocking in front of the Seventh Prince: "She still called you brother, did you even ignore your sister's surname?" Do you have to leave all your brotherhood behind for the sake of that official hat? ”

"Qi Xuan," the hand stretched out from the sleeve of the wide robe grabbed the sleeve of the young man's coat, "You can't be so rude to the Seventh Prince. ”

"The Seventh Prince... The man, as if he had been burned on the buttocks by coals, hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground, shouting for help in a voice worse than a cry.

"Brother," the girl slowly knelt in front of the man with a sinking face, "this may be the last time I call you brother, please help me and spare my father, okay?" This time the girl did not bow her head again, and there was a hint of pleading and despair on her delicate face

With a hint of madness, the starry eyes are as bright as the Nine Heavens Milky Way falling a little tears. Now she had nothing to lean on, even - even the warm shoulders of the handsome young man she had been a child.

"Star Dance, you ・・・・・・" The seventh prince hesitated on his face for the first time, he really didn't know what to do now, thirty was the time agreed with the Nine Princes, five thousand iron horsemen followed the front line to escort the farmers with food, although after the first fiasco, the only remaining 70,000 Chinese troops were stationed within a hundred miles from the capital of the Gallic kings to build solid fortifications, but since the Gallic kings failed to break through several times, they put most of their forces on the confrontation with the Great Zhou, if it were not for the lack of brave generals in the army, it would only take a few days to rush back to the border town. Even if it is limited by the terrain, coupled with the incompetence of the generals, it is impossible for the 100,000 army to be defeated all at once, you know, those proud soldiers and fierce generals are trained by themselves, even if they can't win the battle and retreat, the only possibility of this defeat is that there is an enemy in the Zhou Dynasty, so the enemy knows the advantages and disadvantages of the Great Zhou Iron Cavalry, and after opening a gap in the weakest infantry phalanx, the enemy's light cavalry will drive their infantry to charge the heavy cavalry, Because of the sudden attack, the heavy cavalry, which had already fallen into the infantry, could not accelerate the charge at all, and because of the heavy weight of the horses, they could not run away at all, and were pursued by the enemy like peeling potatoes for hundreds of miles.

It is for this reason that he did not ask for troops from the imperial court, if the enemy knows that he is leading the troops, he will definitely be vigilant, maybe even the towns he captured will be given up together, the winter is not conducive to a long battle, and when he leads the army to arrive slowly, he will only admit defeat, only let the annihilation in the Great Zhou not get a little rumor, and then take advantage of the arrogance of the Gallic rebels to light the enemy will have a chance of victory. But in a few days, he will have to leave here, no matter who the star dance falls into, he can be beheaded on the spot for the crime of bullying the king, at that time, he has been thousands of miles away, and it is even more inappropriate to take her with him, the battlefield is no more dangerous than others, a bamboo arrow may kill someone, not to mention that he does not have many chances of winning this time, the army may have to spend days and nights on horseback, in case she can't hold on and fall down at that time, it will be even more distressing. There are other people watching her every move, what if someone finds out when she comes out and shows her feet?

The prince suddenly turned his gaze to the person standing straight in front of him, remembering that Xiao Rang introduced that this was the precious son of the Nine Princes, and he suddenly had an idea, and he couldn't see that the Nine Princes, who were not good-looking, would give birth to such a handsome son, and he was really unseemly.

"You are the son of the Ninth Prince," the Seventh Prince still said in a faint tone that made people unable to hear the ups and downs.

"So what?" The prince stopped Xiao Rang, who was about to explode, and thought, I don't know how sincere this guy is about Star Dance.

"You go back with the Nine Princes, he will be waiting for you outside the main hall." The prince forced a smile and continued in a serious tone, "Don't play here next time, or someone will be worried—this is not the place where a young master like you should come." ”

"What about her?" Hearing this, the son, who looked like a powerless chicken no matter how he looked here, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to ask.

"General Dingxi is not here, someone has to help him take the blame, right?" The Seventh Prince began to stare at the person in front of him with his usual sneer, only to hear him say softly in a voice that he couldn't even listen to: "As long as you go out, with your identity, you can choose the beauties of the world, so why care about the daughter of a criminal minister?" ”

"You!" The pale-faced boy changed his face instantly, "Even if I have to leave, I have to go with her." ”

"That's it, sell the Ninth Prince a face, anyway, I just need to pay the difference. Only one of the two of you can go out, don't you like her? Then you will give her this opportunity, are you satisfied with this arrangement? The Seventh Prince smiled again and glanced at the girl who lowered her head deeply again, as if her trembling body was so perfect that he was intoxicated, "Of course, you also consider my suggestion, there is no grass at the end of the world, after you go out, everything is yours, why lose your surname here in vain?" ”

"Let her out, I'll stay." Without the slightest hesitation, the pale and even a little sickly man's clear eyes stared into the eyes of the Seven Princes without fear, "Because I like her." ”

The prince nodded, waved his hand without further ado, "Release people." ”

"Your Highness!" "Brother!" The voices of the two people overlapped, and Xiao Rang next to him looked at the Seventh Prince with a look of disbelief, "It is a capital crime to release Qin privately, and at least there is a noble concubine on the side of the Ninth Prince, but this little girl, she ・・・・・・"

"Brother, brother!" The girl's voice was already crying, "Don't listen to him, I don't know him at all!" She seemed to grab Qi Xuan's clothes with all her strength and shook them, "Don't do this, I don't know you at all, I don't like you at all!" It's good that you leave on your own, I don't need you to pity me!"

Sure enough, it's just a Shuanghua girl, the seventh prince smiled miserably in his heart, probably when his father gave Fu'er wine, there would be a trace of this heartache, in a trance, that bright face gradually coincided with the girl in front of her, the same person she loved deeply, why did God always tear them apart by someone else's hand? Father, you probably wouldn't have imagined that today, I would be like you to destroy the happiness of another pair of destined people.

Sure enough, he is only suitable to be a villain, even Xiao Rang will only follow him tremblingly, not daring to say a word.

"Star Dance, you don't have to worry about your father, since you have taken the blame for him, then he is no longer the person involved in this case, and I will guarantee his safety." I don't know how I closed my eyes and said such cruel words, I don't know why I want to force her to take another step, just because of jealousy? Just because this time it was the god of fate who made the judgment on behalf of the god of fate who would never be ruthless? Or are you looking for the bright eyes that are no longer there?

Fu'er, I can't fool myself.

Fu'er, I still can't forget you.

But now, where are you?

"I don't like you, I don't like you, I don't like you, I don't like you..." The girl's cry hit his chest like a hammer, making it difficult for him to breathe. In an instant, he seemed to understand that it was the same kind of love that he had to deceive himself for the sake of his beloved.

Fu'er, if it were you, you would also lean on me like this, crying quietly.

Fu'er, if it were you, you would also say words like knives to me like this, let those sentences turn into sharp dagger words, and hurt yourself over and over again.

Fu'er, if it were you, she would also make herself duplicitous and say that it was not you who actually loved.

Fu'er, you're so stupid・・・・・・

How silly・・・・・・
