This time, Ling Xiao couldn't keep calm, and while sitting up from Lu Jingxing's arms a little, his clear eyes suddenly opened, and the gaze that was originally lingering in the night sky instantly flowed to Lu Jingxing's face covered with a thin layer of clear light: "What? Are you saying that the ancestor of the Xiang family is Xiang Yu? How so? It seems a little ridiculous. ”

Lu Jingxing looked down at her eyes full of surprise, the small wave in his heart that had just risen had gradually subsided, and he blinked and said calmly: "Since Qin II Fusu, the Xiang family has been named a nobleman, and it has not fallen after the war at the end of Qin, and it is still the case after the founding of the Central Plains. ”

"How did you find out?" Ling Xiao looked up at him in bewilderment, but the moonlight fell on her eyes.

Lu Jingxing stared at her moonlit pupils, and said lightly without concealment: "Since the Xiang family was wiped out more than twenty years ago, these seem to have been gradually sealed, and the imperial court also has a clear prohibition. If Feng Baiyue hadn't found you, maybe I wouldn't have known about these things. Later, because of you, I deliberately consulted a lot of historical classics and got a general understanding of the Xiang family. ”

Ling Xiao looked away, his gaze fell on Lu Jingxing's hand that was wrapped in front of her, a trace of indifference crossed his face, and he sighed lightly: "So that's the case." Come to think of it, if Feng Baiyue hadn't taken the initiative to find me, maybe even if I accidentally learned about the Xiang family when I was reading the classics in my spare time, I am afraid that I would not have associated this family with Zhong Liyuan's life experience. After all, whether it is good or bad for Zhong Liyuan, I am afraid that I will not tell her these things, and I naturally have no way of knowing. Through the confirmation of the Yuanqu Daoist that night, I have been convinced of Feng Baiyue's words. ”

"Xiao Xiao wants to avenge the Xiang family?" When thinking of this possibility, Lu Jingxing's expression became a little solemn. He didn't want her to take any more risks, let alone hurt her. Although she now knew that this body was not hers, it was still her who suffered the pain, not Zhong Liyan. Moreover, in his opinion, since Ling Xiao was not Zhong Liyuan, it had little to do with the Xiang family's grudge, and there was no need to meddle in this matter.

Ling Xiao lowered his eyes, shook his head slightly, and said softly, "Not necessarily." The only connection I have with the Xiang family is this body, and in fact, these rights and wrongs have little to do with me, let alone resentment. ”

When Lu Jingxing heard this, his heart was relieved. However, then I heard Ling Xiao's words change sharply: "However, Zhong Liyuan has the grace of reinvention for me, if I really want revenge, it is also the grace of Zhong Liyuan, and this is probably the only thing I can do for her." Of course, I don't plan to let go of what they murdered me in the first place. Besides, now that I am in danger, if the Zuoqiu family really knows my whereabouts, how will they let me go. Because this body has already borne too many grievances against right and wrong, in order to save my life, I am afraid that I will have to fight back passively. ”

"Xiao Xiao don't worry, you still have me, these things, let's face them together." Lu Jingxing gently held Ling Xiao's cold hand, and his soft voice was full of seriousness. What Ling Xiao said was not a fact in front of him, for these potential hidden dangers caused by Zhong Liyan, it was an inescapable fact, so he also felt deeply worried about Ling Xiao. But as long as he is there, he will definitely do his best to protect Ling Xiao's safety.

Ling Xiao snuggled comfortably into Lu Jingxing's arms again, his head resting on his chest very naturally, and his voice was soft: "Well, I believe in you." It's just that I still have a lot of things to figure out. ”

A ray of concern flashed in Lu Jingxing's eyes, and he asked casually, "What's the matter?" ”

Ling Xiao's fingertips moved in Lu Jingxing's palm, rubbing along his cocoon formed by holding the sword for a long time, slowly interlocking with his five fingers, and his voice was calm: "It's about Zhong Li's family." Judging from Feng Bai Yue's statement and the form of crisis she faced, it is very likely that Zhong Liyuan is the only survivor of the Xiang family, otherwise, she can go to Zhong Liling or Zhong Liji, who holds the military power, even if she goes to Zhong Limu or Mrs. Yunhou, I am afraid that it is better than finding me. ”

"It was also because of this confusion that I thought of a possibility, maybe Zhong Liyuan is not Yunhou's biological daughter, and Mrs. Yunhou is not from the Xiang family." Wisps of fragrant fragrance wafting from afar echoed in Ling Xiao's nose, and she paused, "Thinking of the palace banquet last year, at which the Empress Dowager Zuoqiu did not shy away from saying such words as Zhong Liyuan's mother enchanting the monarch, as well as the emperor's attitude towards Zhong Liyuan, I am even more puzzled.

How can the daughter of a courtier be crowned a princess? I also suspected that maybe Zhong Liyuan's biological father was the emperor, but thinking of her marriage to Yan Lingzhan, I thought it was unlikely. Even if he is a mediocre emperor, I am afraid that he will not allow his children to unite with each other, right? Besides, the current emperor can also be called a generation of Ming monarchs, and he will never do such a ridiculous thing. And if he did, why didn't any of the courtiers object? ”

After being puzzled, her eyes lit up for a moment: "When I met the third brother this time, I wanted to ask him about it, but I had some scruples, worried that he would not only not tell me the truth, but would also worry about me from time to time because of this." Of course, maybe he didn't know much, after all, he was still young at the time. What kind of identity Zhong Liyuan has, I'm afraid I can only leave it to find out later. ”

"Well, don't worry too much about that. I think some things will become clear in the end. Lu Jingxing's kind comfort just didn't want Ling Xiao to be too upset about these things. In his opinion, compared with Ling Xiao's safety, Zhong Liyuan's complicated life experience can be said to be insignificant.

In this lonely world, layers of distant mountains are ethereal, and the cold moonlight is pouring in Guilin, falling on Ling Xiao's eyes dimly. She nodded slightly, and gently lifted the corners of her lips, as if helpless. sighed: "I was going to tell you about another world, but when I talked about Zhong Liyuan's life experience, it was a bit far." By the way, where did you just go? ”

Lu Jingxing smiled faintly, looked at the hazy and lonely distance, and gently reminded: "Han Dynasty." ”

"Yes. The Han Dynasty lasted for hundreds of years, and at the end of the Han Dynasty, the political situation was divided again, the power pattern of all parties, the war was raging, and the people were struggling to make a living......" Ling Xiaoxiao stated eloquently, starting from the end of the Han Dynasty, time passed slowly, and finally, the major events in the long history were all displayed in front of Lu Jingxing, and she stopped for a short time, and she was a little tired of speaking.

After a pause, before Lu Jingxing came back to her senses, she added in a summary manner: "In short, in the ancient times of that world, there were more wars with less, and even in peacetime, it was inevitable that there would be local wars every year. A peaceful and prosperous era of more than 300 years like the Four Kingdoms of Dongzhou is impossible in that world. The era in which I live is more than 2,000 years after the Qin Dynasty, and there is no longer an absolute monarchy, and its prosperity is far greater than that of today's Dongzhou Four Kingdoms. ”

After saying this, Ling Xiao fell silent, he had never said so many words at once before. She felt as if what she was saying tonight was the same as what she had said in years of the past, as if she had become a storyteller.
