Chapter 298: The Man in the Painting
Early the next morning, Xia Qing left Wanshou Villa with a lot of good things, accompanied only Shi Xuanxuan, Tuoba Qi, Ben Xiao Erfeng Yelai and the one-armed angel Hai Beili, and the others went to conquer other sects under the leadership of the Flag Dancing Lord.
Back at Panlong Pass, Xia Qing first went to the temporary Xia Wangfu to say goodbye to Xia Yuanba.
"Second brother, are you leaving now?" Xia Yuanba was very surprised, knowing that Yan Guo couldn't keep Xia Qing and would have to leave sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
"Yes, the Western Regions Frontier has been basically pacified, and it doesn't make much sense for me to stay. ”
Xia Qing paused and said, "Big brother, after I leave, if there are any difficulties in the court, you can ask the minister first, and I can't solve it to find Liniang." Although Li Niang is a woman, she has always been by her father's side in the past, responsible for reviewing documents, and has more experience in governing the government than many ministers. If you encounter difficulties outside the court, you can find the flag dancer of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, and she will handle it properly. ”
"Good!"
Xia Yuanba remembered Xia Qing's words, and looked reluctant, "Second brother, you are tired enough these days, why don't you rest for a few days before leaving?" Wuzhou is a long way, and it's always bad to be too tired." ”
Although he became the monarch, in private, Xia Yuanba was no different from before.
"Don't be afraid, I have the teleportation order banner of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, and I can directly teleport to Wuzhou. Big brother, I'm leaving, take care. Xia Qing waved his hand and turned to leave.
"Second brother, take care too!"
Xia Yuanba chased him out, but Xia Qing was already gone, and walked away like a gust of wind. Xia Yuanba sighed secretly, knowing that after all, he still had to face all kinds of difficulties in Yan Guo alone, so he forced himself to sit down, and he had a headache when he looked at the paperwork piled up like a mountain on the table. Since he was a child, what he feared most was reading.
Behind a thick stone pillar, Xia Qing glanced at Xia Yuanba, turned around and left quietly.
Just now, he didn't go far, and when he saw Xia Yuanba forced to sit down and flip through the papers, he finally left with confidence.
"No matter who it is, it's going to change. ”
"Not to mention ten years ago, even a year ago, who would have thought that the eldest brother would be able to sit down and flip through the paperwork in a decent manner?"
Xia Qing sighed with emotion in his heart, and met Shi Xuanxuan and the others, preparing to leave Panlong Pass quickly. On the one hand, he misses the days of being free and easy in Wuzhou, and he doesn't like the worldly life more and more; on the other hand, he also deliberately exercises his eldest brother Xia Yuanba, as a monarch, there are many things that Xia Yuanba has to face alone sooner or later, the sooner the better, and staying to help him do everything will hurt him.
Seeing Xia Qing coming over, Shi Xuanxuan took out the teleportation order flag, "Childe, leave now?"
"Yes, let's go!"
Xia Qing nodded, hesitated, and said, "Actually, Sister Xuanxuan, it's better for you and Tuoba Qi to stay in Panlong Pass, and you don't have to follow me to adventure around Wuzhou." ”
"No, we must follow you, this is the order of the master. Before leaving, the master emphasized it again and again. ”
Shi Xuanxuan's face was slightly red, and she was reluctant to leave Xia Qing under the pretense of passing on the order of the flag dancing master. Tuoba Qi didn't say anything, he glanced at Shi Xuanxuan silently, and vaguely understood something.
The light of the teleportation order flag flowed, and the group was about to teleport out, when a little maid suddenly trotted all the way over, "Wait a minute, little master, wait a minute." ”
"Sister Xuanxuan, wait. ”
Xia Qing recognized that it was the little maid who had been with Liniang in the past, and hurriedly asked Shi Xuanxuan to pause.
The little maid ran over panting and handed Xia Qing a letter and a scroll of paintings, "Little master, this is from Li Niang." ”
"Okay, thank you Liniang for me. ”
Xia Qing took the things over, and the little maid bowed and saluted and stepped back.
Xia Qing picked up the envelope first, and a few words were written on it, 'Qing'er opened it personally'.
"This ...... , Is this his father's handwritten letter?" Xia Qing was surprised, recognized it as his father Xia Changkong's handwriting, tore open the envelope and spread out the letterhead, and sure enough, it was his father's handwritten letter.
"Qing'er, when you read this letter, your father is no longer alive. From now on, there will only be two of you brothers left in the Xia Wangfu, you must work together, and the Mo brothers will fight. Yuanba is more than brave, but he is not patient, you take a little more responsibility, and the brothers work together to revive the Yan Kingdom. But in the end, if it is really powerless to return to heaven and the Yan Kingdom is doomed, then let it fend for itself, and find a place to live in seclusion with the tablet of the old lady. ”
"A hundred years of life pass in a hurry. Many years ago, my father vowed to revive the Yan Kingdom, but now I found out that the greatest achievement was not the restoration and governance of the country, but the raising of two sons. Yuanba's personality is like that of his father when he was young, brave but reckless, while Qing'er is like your mother, witty and intelligent. When my father picked you up for the first time in the depths of Wuzhou, he knew that you would definitely be different in the future. Qing'er, always remember one sentence, although you are not my own child, my father will always be proud of you. Father and Yuanba are both laymen, and you are destined not to belong to the world of laymen, just like your mother. ”
"In my father's life, I have a clear conscience, but I have two regrets. One is that you didn't reject the peach blossom demon queen earlier and lived up to her affection, and the other is that you didn't know your mother earlier. If time passes, my father would like to leave everything behind and embark on the fairy ship with your mother, and grow old in a city in the sky far away from the world. ”
"Qing'er, my father is about to die, but fortunately, I met with the Peach Blossom Enchantress before I died, and I took back the portrait of your mother. ”
"Qing'er, my father knows that you must find your mother, and my father's limited ability can't help you, so I'll give you this portrait of your mother. In the future, if you really see your mother, you will say that your father's promise has been fulfilled. On that day, don't forget to burn paper in front of your father's grave and tell me the good news. ”
"Finally, there's one more little thing. If the Yan Kingdom really wins the Central Plains and destroys the Dakang Dynasty, the people of the Zhao family's royal family will not kill if they can kill it, especially the Peach Blossom Demon Queen, let her go. ”
There were not many words on the letter, and Xia Qing read it quickly, her eyes were red. At this time, I learned that my father Xia Changkong had left another suicide note, and specially asked Liniang to transfer it to him.
"Father, Qing'er is also proud of you, and you will always be ......"
Xia Qing muttered, put away the suicide note, and picked up the painting left by his father Xia Changkong. According to what his father said, this is a portrait of his mother, and you can immediately know what her mother looks like, but Xia Qing's hands trembled.
What his mother really looked like was something he had wanted to know all these years;
Growing up, even if I was dreaming, the mother in the dream was vague, and even had only a faint back, and now, I finally want to know what my mother looks like!
Xia Qing's hands trembled, as if what he was holding in his hand was not a painting, but the most precious thing in the world.
A wisp of strong wind suddenly appeared behind Xia Qing at this time.
A masked man suddenly appeared behind Xia Qing strangely, holding a sharp dagger in his hand, stabbing Xia Qing in the back of the heart, and suddenly made a move when Xia Qing was most defenseless.
