Volume 4 Settlement Surrender

The hairs on the back of her neck stood up, her heart jumped suddenly, and a panicked feeling came to her heart, she unconsciously stretched out her hand and touched the back of her neck, her eyes raised and looked up, and her eyelids jumped fiercely.

This look is not unfamiliar to her, she has seen it a few times in the palace of the Hanging Sky Valley, and the only one she has been tricked has been, her lips have been swollen for a long time, but it made her uncomfortable.

She hurried back a few steps to avoid the impending danger.

But it's still a little slow, she doesn't know if Huyan Linwan is an immortal, after all, she has no cultivation now, and she can't judge, but although Huyan Linwan is not an immortal, her reaction and speed are still faster than that of Shantai Xia, almost as soon as the forefoot of Shantai Xia was raised, Huyan Linwan's warm big hand grabbed the back of her neck, and the hairs on her whole body stood up at once.

Approaching her slowly with a slightly rapid hot breath, Tang Taixia didn't dare to have any more hesitation, and his right hand directly touched Hu Yanlinwan's hand on the back of his neck, while his feet were still retreating.

Hu Yanlin Wan's strength was not small, and Taixia couldn't shake his big hand, so he could only try his best to avoid it.

Because of her movements, Hu Yanlin stayed away from the strange fragrance, and the whole person came to his senses, and he looked at his movements, his expression froze.

Tan Taixia felt the fingers on the back of her neck tense and knew that Hu Yanlin had regained her consciousness at night, and she looked at the movements that she couldn't avoid, and somehow, she was also a little embarrassed.

She didn't dare to make any more movements all of a sudden, just waiting for Hu Yanlin Wan to remove her hand from her skin.

Hu Yanlin didn't make any moves, he lowered his head and looked down at Tai Xia, who was just a head shorter than him.

Her lips were so close to him that if he hadn't suddenly sobered up, he would have kissed them as soon as he lowered his head so that they wouldn't be so dry.

Seeing that although he was sober, his movements were stiff, and he didn't make the slightest move to stay away from her, so he could only do it himself to save the back of his neck.

"I, what I said is true." She took a big step back, keeping herself and Hu Yanlin Wan at the maximum distance in the limited space.

His heart suddenly felt empty, as if a big hole had been opened.

"What's your name?" He asked in a low voice.

Shantai Xia didn't dare to make any other moves, she lowered her head, avoided Huyan Linwan's gaze, and replied, "Shantai Xia." ”

"Shantai, the surname of the inland."

Yutai Xia nodded invisibly, and quickly raised his eyes to glance at Huyan Linwan.

"So I'm really not a spy, I didn't even know that the water source still had an owner."

Hu Yanlin thought quietly for a while, there was an embarrassing silence in the air, and Taixia's breathing was much lighter, almost suffocating himself.

"You look so smart, how can you not understand?" After a while, he sighed.

Tantai Xia somewhat understood what he said, but also a little didn't understand.

"It's been quiet on the prairie for a long time, but some people don't like it."

So I have to find a sign to provoke a war, the timing of the appearance of Taixia is just right, and she is an inland woman who can't find her background, this is a God-given opportunity.

She had actually had the idea in her head at first, but it was so conspiracy that she disproved it herself.

I didn't expect it to be like this.

"No matter who you really are, you can only be one identity, and that is a spy sent by which tribe."

Tantai Xia suddenly felt that the evening on the grassland was really cold, and she shivered from the cold, so she could only slowly squat down and hug herself, absorbing the few temperatures on her body.

"I actually knew from the beginning, and I also told your king, let him tell me what tribes are on the grassland, and I will choose a good one." Tantai Xia said with a wry smile.

"I just want to ask you one thing, can I live?"

Taixia didn't want to die, Sikong Yang became like that in order to save her, her life was not easy to come by.

"It's hard."

Because no one trusts her, and only the dead will not argue, can everything that is half-believed become a fact that cannot be confronted.

"I can't die." Tantai Xia raised her head suddenly, tears suppressed in her voice, and she said firmly.

Hu Yanlin looked at her with some sad eyes.

There was a fire burning in her apricot eyes, and she said, "I live to maximize your interests." ”

Hu Yanlin looked into her eyes, through these eyes, he saw her tenacious desire to survive, so when he opened his mouth to answer, he had a trace of pity that he didn't notice: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Only if I live, can I let those tribes live in fear all day long, and then buy some people to use their hands and feet to surrender the soldiers without a fight, what a great reputation it will be."

In fact, she was relieved after she finished speaking, and the war books and scripts for many years were finally not in vain.

"You should not say these things to me." Hu Yanlin thought about what she said, and agreed with it in his heart.

"I'm just an idle man with no revenge, and I don't have real power in my hands." A trace of unwillingness flashed quickly in his eyes, and he didn't know if he deliberately asked Taixia to see it.

Tan Taixia saw it, but she was hesitating, because whether it was the bearded king or Huyan Lin Wan in front of her, they were all strangers to her who met for the first time, if it weren't for today's step, she didn't want to choose, she wanted to be free.

She didn't want to participate in any of these conspiracies, because she could witness the bad side of too many people, which was contrary to the good world in her heart.

But she thought about it again, there was no mercy in the eyes of the person on the tiger skin seat, even if he was a king above ten thousand people, he should have pity for life, this is a qualified emperor.

Thinking of this, she lifted her eyelids again and looked at Hu Yanlin Wan, who was staring at her, and a story she had seen appeared in her mind, so she asked.

"Suppose you are sitting in a carriage and the horse is frightened and out of your control, and there happens to be a fork in the road ahead of you, and on one road there are seven or eight children playing and on the other road there is a beggar with a bowl begging, whichever one you choose, the carriage will stop when it encounters an obstacle, which path will you choose?"

A hint of interest appeared in Hu Yanlinwan's eyes, and a smile rose at the corner of his lips, so he lowered his long eyelashes and thought quietly.

He didn't think long of it, and he didn't wait long before he heard him say slowly: "Actually, it is not necessary to sacrifice the lives of either side, I can call the little beggar to stand with the group of children, so that the other road will be unimpeded, and I will jump out of the cart and tell the horses to run by themselves." ”

She lowered her head and looked at the ground, shook her head, and said in a muffled voice: "Your answer is opportunistic, not the answer I want." ”

Hu Yanlinwan's eyes became serious, the corners of his lips tightened, he looked at Tang Taixia and said, "Which answer do you want?" Don't tell me that the correct answer is to sacrifice the life of the little beggar, to get the greatest benefit with the least sacrifice, but the beggar has less luck than others, and if he is crushed to death by a carriage, why bother to come to life? ”

Tan Taixia looked at the white cloth spread on the ground, because the cloth was too thin, some stubborn grass came out, unwilling to be covered in it, and wanted to come out to enjoy the fresh and free sun and air.

She slowly stood up with her knees on her hands, tilted her head and looked at Hu Yanlin Wan, and said, "I don't know if this is the real choice in your heart, because you know the answer I want." ”

Hu Yan Lin Wan was stunned, and when he came back to his senses, his gaze changed when he looked at Tang Tai Xia, and Tang Tai Xia could feel it, and then Hu Yan Lin Wan looked at her and really regarded her as a person, not a life that could be sacrificed at will.

"I still have a younger brother outside, he looks like he is seven or eight years old, he is injured, I am afraid he will not survive tonight." Tan Taixia didn't say anything more, turned his back, and said a little tiredly.

Hu Yanlin understood what she meant when she arrived late.

"Don't worry, he'll live well." Hu Yanlin didn't stop any longer in the evening, turned around and walked out of the tent.

When he opened the curtain and walked out, he heard him say to the guards: "The king has always been merciful, even if he is a spy, he will not be harsh, you go and prepare some food and water, and send it to the girl inside." ”

Tantai Xia listened to his instructions, a smile opened at the corner of her mouth, she was finally able to fill her stomach, just laughing and laughing tears came down, her eyes were red, she was thin enough to see the back of her shoulder blades shaking, she bit her hand in her mouth, whimpering to prevent herself from crying.

This night, not only did she eat a hot and hearty meal, but Hu Yanlin also sent a thick blanket and quilt, she slept in the warm and heavy quilt, but she didn't feel sleepy at all.

Sikong Yang is such a smart person, he must be able to live well under Huyan Lin Wan, he must not be stubborn, first heal his injuries and then talk about it, with such hope, she closed her eyes.

Plagued by nightmares all night, she was tired, and opened her eyes when the first rays of the morning sun shone on her eyelids.

Her surroundings were very quiet, she rubbed her sour eyes, and thought a little confused, at this time, I am afraid that the grassland has not woken up yet.

It was a good opportunity to escape, and the thought popped into her mind.

The word escape has been with her for most of the time, as if she has been exhausted since she came out of the Lin family.

Is this the world of adults? Tantai Xia sighed and thought that as for running away, she gave up the moment she thought of it.

Maybe she'll be able to be truly free when she's strong enough, she thought, power is a good thing, she hadn't thought of it before.
