Chapter XXVIII
In a dark corner of the palace, Cheng Qing was pulled over and fell against the wall.
She raised her eyebrows, put her hands around her chest, hooked her lips and said, "Isn't the military advisor known as a gentleman?" How did this kind of behavior come into existence? ”
Bai Xiuyuan looked at her and said, "You finally admit it." ”
Cheng Qing looked into the distance, sighed faintly, and said, "Didn't you already know?" ”
"Why do you want a woman to disguise herself as a man and go into the barracks?" Bai Xiuyuan really wanted to beat her, but with such a face, how could he beat her?
"For my brother." Cheng Qing said quietly, she struggled and thought about whether to tell Bai Xiuyuan, but he already knew, so she couldn't hide it from him, they were brothers.
"Your brother?" Bai Xiuyuan said suspiciously.
Cheng Qing turned his head, looked into his eyes, and said, "The Cheng Ran you know is Cheng Yue." He wasn't my cousin who passed into my father's name, he was my own brother. ”
Bai Xiuyuan was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Then why did you pretend to be in his name?" ”
Cheng Qing glanced at him suspiciously, and said, "You weren't conscripted on the battlefield at the beginning?" ”
"Conscription? When was this? Bai Xiuyuan asked blankly.
"No wonder you're asking me." Cheng Qing sighed quietly, leaned against the wall again, and told about the events of the year, "I grew up in a family that was not wealthy, my brother had congenital deficiency, my mother died early, and eight years ago, my father was lame because he went up the mountain to chop wood, and his livelihood fell on me." ”
"Fortunately, I have learned martial arts since I was a child, and my brain is flexible, so it is not too difficult to support a family. But the accident struck five years ago, when I was 14 years old. ”
A flash of hatred and pain flashed in Cheng Qing's eyes, and Bai Xiuyuan's heart tightened when he looked at it, guessing that it was not a good thing behind it.
Sure enough, I listened to her.
"That year, the war at the border was tight, and the imperial court urgently recruited soldiers, asking each family to produce a man, and our county order, in order to make up the number, wrote my brother's name and submitted it to the above."
"My father found out and went to the county government to make trouble, but the people in the county government said that my brother must go, and if he doesn't go, he will be punished for disorder."
"Five years ago, the Zhao State was in chaos, and it was no clearer than the people living at the bottom. For the sake of my brother, I had to disguise myself as a man to go to the battlefield. So I turned my father and brother over with numbing and went to the battlefield alone. This time, I never thought I would come back alive. ”
Cheng Qing spoke very calmly, and Bai Xiuyuan was very shocked when he heard it.
He went to the border pass with his own negative anger back then, and he never thought that there would be someone like Cheng Qing who was forced to go to the battlefield.
She is a girl, at such a young age, on the battlefield, how afraid should she be in her heart?
But he never saw a trace of fear in her face.
Maybe she wasn't afraid in the first place, otherwise how could she have such courage to become the supreme commander of the whole army?
Bai Xiuyuan was both distressed and admired, a woman, on the battlefield, has far more problems to overcome than a man.
Not only did she do it all, but she did it brilliantly.
The two were speechless for a long time, and Cheng Qing hid the coldness in his eyes. Things have come to this point, and she doesn't want to go to the original county order to settle accounts.
"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Cheng Qingdao, she still didn't find a better attitude to face Bai Xiuyuan, it was too embarrassing to get along, she didn't want to do this.
"I ......" Bai Xiuyuan wanted to ask her if she had ever hated him so venomously, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't ask, what if she really hated, then what should she do?
Cheng Qing frowned and said, "If you want to ask, just ask, what does it look like to procrastinate?" ”
The familiar reprimand, Bai Xiuyuan's heart suddenly settled, it doesn't matter if Cheng Qing hates him or not, as long as he can grasp the future.
"I want to ask, how did you and the emperor get like this? Have you seen him before? Bai Xiuyuan asked what he wanted to ask most when he pulled her out.
Cheng Qing frowned, walked to the pond with his hands in his hands, and said, "It's just the old emperor's wishful thinking." ”
"Is he really right for you?" Bai Xiuyuan walked up to her and asked nervously.
"He didn't say anything, but I'm afraid, I'm determined to get it." Cheng Qing said heavily, if she didn't feel this way during the day today, then she understood the glow-in-the-dark cup tonight.
"Qing'er, if you don't want to, I can help you." Bai Xiuyuan said solemnly.
Cheng Qing turned his head to look at him, bumped into his gentle watery eyes, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, turned his head, and said, "I've always been curious about your identity, listening to your words, I'm even more curious, who are you?" ”
"The second son of Bai Haosheng, the richest man in Nanzhou, the head of the Bai family, and the closed disciple of the Sword Saint Qingzhou."
Cheng Qing looked at him in surprise, he didn't expect him to be so honest, not only who he said, but also where he was from.
Looking at her surprised expression, Bai Xiuyuan chuckled and said, "Surprised? Actually, I didn't just want to tell you now, I always wanted to, but I just didn't find the right opportunity. ”
Cheng Qing touched his nose and said, "No wonder you dare to put such a big word, the second son of the richest man does not seem to need to be afraid of the emperor." ”
"Yes, there is no need to be afraid." Bai Xiuyuan laughed.
His voice was already beautiful and good, this voice simply entered Cheng Qing's heart, turned his head to look at his fairy-like and good-looking face, and suddenly felt that this night was a little charming.
She leaned over slowly......
Bai Xiuyuan's smile slowly faded, and looking at her movements, his heart suddenly accelerated.
I saw Cheng Qing climbing on his shoulder, slowly standing on tiptoe, getting closer and closer, and when he was about to reach his lips, he suddenly staggered to his ear and said softly: "Bai Xiuyuan, you still look so much like to bully." ”
After that, he stepped away and laughed.
Although the fragrance dissipated, Bai Xiuyuan's heart was a little lost and a little empty, and he didn't know what he was expecting? But Cheng Qing's rogue words made his ears red differently.
Let her laugh, he can't be angry, and he wants to laugh with her.
What's wrong with him?
Throwing these away, Bai Xiuyuan asked, "Cheng Qing, I still have a question for you." ”
"Just ask." Cheng Qing is bigger than him, so he is used to doing this, so he naturally won't feel that there is anything wrong.
"Why fake your death to lie to us?" Bai Xiuyuan tried his best to pretend to be calm, only his ears were extraordinarily red at night, but the dark curtain made him less obvious.
Cheng Qing touched his chin and said, "There are many reasons for your problem. The main thing is that I have too much credit. ”
"What's the reason for that?" Bai Xiuyuan almost laughed, she was still so narcissistic.
Cheng Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "Haven't you heard of the high merit and the master?" ”
