Chapter 165: The Past Has Passed Away (Part II)

Zhao Guoping Liang, Zhao Wang Dugu Zheng was reading the chapter alone in the Hongyang Hall of Ninghe Palace, and the voice of Dugu Qing, the princess of Zhao Guo, came from outside the hall: "Brother Wang, can you have time to teach me a few sets of swordsmanship today?" ”

Dugu Zhen looked up and saw Dugu Qing dressed in simple men's clothes, holding a long sword, and walking into the Hongyang Palace.

Dugu Yan continued to review the chapters, but his tone was quite gentle: "The princess wants to learn the sword, and it's not a day or two. ”

Duguqing walked to the front of the case, looked down at King Zhao, and said solemnly: "This time, I really want to study hard." ”

King Zhao raised his head, smiled lightly, and said, "The princess doesn't have to worry about the Restoration Alliance army raising troops to attack the Song Dynasty. I assure you that Zhao is neutral and will not participate. ”

Duguqing frowned and looked at King Zhao, feeling that although the man in front of him was only smiling lightly, although it was still difficult to figure out and approach, as long as she could see him and hear him speak, her heart would be able to calm down.

Dugu Qing put the sword on the case lightly and sat beside King Zhao. Seeing that she was silent, King Zhao lowered his head to look at the recital again.

After a long time, Dugu Qing took out the Zhao Guohu talisman from his sleeve and said in a low voice: "Liu Ying, the Four Nations Alliance Army raised troops to attack the Song Dynasty, don't you know that in the Song Kingdom, everyone must call you 'King Song Huai'?" If you want to send troops to aid the Song Dynasty, the tiger talisman left to me by my grandfather is here, and you can use the soldiers of Zhao State. ”

King Zhao glanced at the tiger talisman in Duguqing's hand, and smiled lightly: "It turns out that the talisman of Zhao State looks quite similar to the talisman of Song State." Could it be that the military talismans of the Kyushu countries are all from the same carpenter's shop? ”

Dugu Qing saw that Liu Ying was indifferent to Zhao Guohu Fu, who she had protected with her life for 20 years, and was indifferent to her decision to think about it repeatedly for three days and three nights, and couldn't help but feel angry and sad. But the man beside him had already turned his gaze to the music again.

She couldn't hold back any longer, and threw the tiger talisman to the ground.

She stood up suddenly, looked down at him, and said word by word: "Liu Ying, King of Song, I have protected the tiger talisman for 20 years, I have guarded you for 20 years, read you for 20 years, and endured you for 20 years, why are you still lukewarm to me, smiling and talking lightly?" ”

Liu Ying sighed lightly, got up and walked to the corner of the Hongyang Palace, leaned over and picked up half of the tiger talisman, and moved to pick up the other half. He saw that the second half of the tiger talisman had a corner of the tiger ear knocked off, so he leaned over and searched for it carefully.

Dugu Qing saw that he disregarded the king's appearance so much, like a lowly palace person, looking for a piece of something that was broken by himself, and he couldn't help but be even more angry, but even more sad.

She was still standing in front of the case, and said coldly to Liu Ying, who was facing her back: "Grandpa told me that in order to justifiably recover the land of Qi and the hearts of the people of Qi, King Song Huai married the princess of Qi with a national gift. I stubbornly believed it for twenty years. I also believe that twenty years ago, you sent me back to Zhao when I was thirteen years old and went to Song to make peace with my relatives, because you felt that the relationship between Chen and Song was tense, and Zhao was caught in the middle, so there should be no bias, and sending me back was the best policy for Zhao Guo, so that Grandpa could feel that Song Guo was really good for Zhao Guo. You have been the king of Zhao for twenty years. For twenty years, if you don't marry me or touch me, I believe that you are still for the good of Zhao Guo. Because you are pretending to be my brother, how can we be reconciled between us? But what I don't want to admit is that I lied to myself for twenty years. ”

Liu Ying finally found a corner of the tiger ear of the soldier talisman in the corner, and after picking it up, she put it together and compared it on the tiger talisman, which was really good.

Duguqing looked at Liu Ying's indifferent back, and choked up: "You didn't marry me at the beginning, not because you thought I was young, nor because it was for the good of Zhao Guo." You don't marry me just because you won't marry me! You don't touch me now, not because you and I want to pretend to be brother and sister, nor are you for the good of Zhao Guo. You don't touch me, just because you don't have me at all in your heart! The person in your heart, ten years, twenty years, from beginning to end, is only the princess of the dead country who has an unclear background and cannot prove her innocence! ”

In the dark corner of the Hongyang Palace, Liu Ying's back was slightly stiff.

Dugu Qing saw that Liu Ying neither turned around nor answered. She laughed in vain, and the laughter was desperate and lonely.

She said: "Liu Ying, everyone laughs at you for being a smart king, but you are a stupid husband, laughing at you for less than a year on the throne, but I don't know how many times the green hat was worn by the princess of the dead country of the Qi country and the first dancing girl of Fanjing!" But only I, Duguqing, know in the whole world that the thrones of Zhao and Song can't cure your lovesickness for a dead man! Infatuation like King Song, ruthlessness like King Zhao, it's all on you Liu Ying alone! ”

Liu Ying turned around and walked towards Dugu Qing, and stuffed the tiger talisman and the fallen corner into Dugu Qing's hand. He said without joy or anger: "Princess, your brother died in the battle of Pingliang, and your grandfather also fell ill after Chen Jun entered Ninghe Palace. Before he died, he entrusted the Zhao State to me, and the Tiger Fu to you. Over the past 20 years, I have done my best to Zhao Guo, have a clear conscience, and have lived up to the entrustment of the old King Zhao. But the weight of the tiger talisman is even heavier than that of Zhao Guo. Zhao is weak, and all men are soldiers. This tiger talisman that commanded the Zhao army was not two ordinary pieces of delicate wood, but the net worth of the only 300,000 men in Zhao State. I also hope that the princess is cherished and valued. ”

Duguqing held the tiger talisman in his hand tightly, and suddenly tears rained down. She sobbed: "Since you are the king of Song Huai, why didn't you send troops to save Song?" You...... Do you want to regain the land of Qiwei and rebuild your homeland for the princess of the dead country in your heart? ”

Liu Ying turned around and sat down in front of the desk, looked directly at Duguqing, and said unhurriedly: "The princess also knows that I have only been the king of Song Huai for less than a year, but I have been the king of Zhao for twenty years. I will not treat the people of Zhao as a mustard, and I will not make the slightest joke about the lives of the soldiers of Zhao State. The allied forces of the four countries of Qi Wei Chen Shu do not need to borrow the Zhao State, they go straight to the Song Kingdom, the battlefield is in the Song State, and it has nothing to do with the Zhao State, why did the King of Zhao send troops to save it? When King Wu of Song broke through the two countries of Qi Wei, Zhao did not aid Qi Wei, and recently Qi Wei was restored, if Zhao Guo went to aid Song at this time, wouldn't your grandfather be responsible for helping King Wu of Song to destroy Qi Wei for no reason? The allied forces of the four countries are menacing and their morale is vigorous, if Zhao Guo confronts them at this time, wouldn't he be in danger of destroying the country? They could not attack the Song Dynasty, but first destroyed the Zhao State that had allied with the Song State, and then stationed troops and grain in the Zhao Territory, and slowly restored the country. And the Song State has never formed an alliance with the Zhao State, so why did it send troops to aid Zhao? Therefore, in order to protect the century-old foundation of Zhao State, Zhao State should only show weakness and only look at it from a distance. ”

Duguqing wiped away his tears, thought carefully about what Liu Ying said, sighed, and said, "Thank you, brother, for thinking about Zhao Guo." But...... The allied forces of the four countries are menacing and morale is high, and the elder brother really doesn't plan to go to the aid of the Song State? ”

Liu Ying looked in the direction of the Song State to the east and said, "Princess, the Four Nations Alliance can easily swallow the Zhao State, but it is not the opponent of the Song State yet. ”

General Dugu Qing was suspicious: "Are you really sure that your diligent son Liu Jing can take charge of the four countries and defeat the alliance of the four countries?" ”

Liu Ying replied peacefully: "I promised the old King Zhao that as long as I am the king of Zhao for one day, I will not put the people of Zhao in danger." Zhao Guo's soldiers, I don't know how to use a soldier. If Jing'er can't resist it, I'll go back to help him. Defeat the allied forces of the four countries, it is enough for me alone.
