Although the emperor loved Xie Yang, who was once the crown prince, compared with his father's love, it was naturally more important in the world.

Xie Zhan's subordinates were resolute, but Xie Yang knew early on that Xie Zhan would definitely not let it go, and he was even more vigilant, and the competition was stalemate for a while. 、

Xie Zhan knew Xie Yang's approximate location, but he had never been able to lock it, and Xie Yang could also see Xie Zhan's tracking, but there was also no way to get rid of it completely.

It was when Xie Yang took Mingxiu to be tired of running for his life that he gave Mingxiu a chance.

On the one hand, she secretly gave Xie Yang ideas, so that he could escape Xie Zhan's pursuit, and on the other hand, she did not forget to leave clues before the fight.

Mingxiu is not good at scheming, and the whole person is exhausted.

"Why are you helping me?"

This is Xie Yang's doubt, and it is also the doubt of the person who has been hiding in the shadows.

"I think you've investigated my affair with him." Mingxiu pondered the words, "I don't want to be a caged bird, borrowing your hand to escape from him may also be an opportunity for me." ”

This is not all a lie, Mingxiu used to think so in her heart, but the reality still made her give up.

She's not alone, she has her parents.

She couldn't go back to take her parents around, and she couldn't bear to let the two old people be scared for her.

That's it.

What Mingxiu said now is indeed consistent with what Xie Yang found, and he has never understood why Mingxiu, who is in a position of power that others are flocking to, is not willing?

He once thought that Mingxiu wanted to capture him, but he didn't see Xie Zhan being hung by her all the time, even though she never let go, but Xie Zhan still couldn't give up and find someone else?

The matter of a hot face sticking to a cold ass is not in line with Xie Zhan's personality.

But now it seems that Mingxiu really planned to do so.

This made Xie Yang look at it a little differently.

Sometimes when you see others achieve what you can't achieve, you will not only be jealous, but also admired.

There is no conflict of interest between the two, and now Xie Yang only admires Mingxiu.

It's just that Mingxiu's goal is destined to be impossible to achieve here, and he captured Mingxiu, not just to escape, what he wants is to get back what once belonged to him.

It's not just the crown prince, it's the supreme position.

But Xie Yang didn't break it, he wanted Mingxiu to help him escape and lie dormant with such a mind.

Waiting for the opportunity, he will definitely be able to pull Xie Zhan off the horse.

It's a pity that even if Mingxiu and Xie Yang are combined, they are still not Xie Zhan's opponents.

Following the clues given by Mingxiu, Xie Zhan had already locked down their location.

As soon as they walked out of the door of the foothold, they saw that Xie Zhan had already led people to surround them.

Xie Yang's first reaction was to pull out the dagger in his hand and clamp it around Mingxiu's neck.

He held Mingxiu in front of him as a hostage.

"Let her go!"

Originally, he was confident, but at this time, Xie Zhan saw the bright red dripping from Mingxiu's neck, and he began to panic.

"Looks like he really cares about you." Xie Yang didn't take his nervousness to heart, and laughed with Mingxiu with interest.

Mingxiu kept silent, not because she didn't want to speak, but because the dagger around her neck that had been threatening her life made it impossible for her to speak.

At this time, there was already a blade embedded in her flesh, Xie Yang would not show mercy to her subordinates, an inadvertent shock might make the blade deeper, she didn't want to kill herself at this juncture where she could be rescued.

She didn't answer, Xie Yang didn't care, smiled lightly, and said, "If you want her to live, it's simple, take the talisman of the defenders of the capital in exchange!" ”

Not only Xie Zhan, but Mingxiu's face changed.

Taking advantage of the fact that Xie Yang's hand loosened a little and the blade left her skin, she sneered, "Where did you get your confidence?" ”

The talisman of the defenders of the capital means the safety of the capital, if this thing falls into the hands of Xie Yang, not only Xie Zhan and the one on the dragon chair, but also the civil and military ministers and even the people in the imperial city will be in danger.

The matter of the princes of the Beacon Opera was just a fable in Mingxiu's heart, and she didn't feel that she was really a demon queen of the country.

Xie Yang didn't answer, and tightly imprisoned her, blocking the archers in front of him, not only that, but the loyal guards around him also surrounded him.

It is impossible for this person to compete with Xie Zhan.

But it was enough to guard against those archers and prevent Xie Zhan from suddenly making trouble to save Mingxiu.

It's really not good, and you can take her name directly.

Seeing that Xie Zhan didn't answer, Xie Yang was a little annoyed, he grabbed Mingxiu tightly, didn't say anything, and gently teased her tender flesh that had already flowed blood.

The roughness of his fingers rubbed back and forth against the wound on his neck, and Myeongsu frowned.

It was the first time she felt like she was going to die.

At this time, what Mingxiu thought in her heart was just that if she couldn't go back, she wanted Xie Zhan to take care of her parents.

This time she suffered, strictly speaking, she was affected by Xie Zhan, so Mingxiu thought, he should take care of his parents, right?

"My patience isn't good, you've figured it out."

Xie Yang pressed the wound on her neck fiercely, and the blood-soaked fingers fell down.

At the same time, Mingxiu's face obviously turned pale from blood loss, and his eyes were a little dizzy.

“…… Okay, I promise you. ”

As soon as Xie Zhan's words fell, everyone's faces changed.

"Xie Zhan!"

"Master!"

They all want to stop his decision, but what he decides, where can others stop it?

Even if it's Mingxiu, it can't.

Xie Zhan stepped forward with a normal face, took out the talisman of the defenders of the capital, and ignored the swords of those beside Xie Yang.

He knew that Xie Yang wanted this talisman, but he wouldn't harm his life now, otherwise even if he died, the forces left in the capital would not let him go.

Today's Xie Yang is no longer the prince who was in power at the beginning.

Everyone in the world knows that he has been abandoned by the emperor.

Xie Yang stared at the talisman tightly, and his heart was extremely proud.

Just as the talisman was about to arrive, a sudden change occurred.

The sound of breaking wind sounded, Xie Zhan's face changed, and he quickly stepped forward to Xie Yang's side, knocked out the dagger in Xie Yang's hand with one hand, and hugged Mingxiu into his arms.

At the same time, an arrow fell from the place where he had just stood.

If Xie Zhan's reaction was a little slower, this arrow would have pierced his head!

"There are masters! Protect the master! ”

Xie Zhan was surrounded by groups, no one cared about the situation on Xie Yang's side, and everyone looked around vigilantly.

And the position where Xie Yang was standing at this time was also right in the middle of Xie Zhan's guard.

This didn't get the talisman, Xie Yang was angry, and wanted to take advantage of Xie Zhan's guards to sneak attack while they were looking for someone to hide, and it was best to take Xie Zhan down!

However, the reason why Xie Zhan didn't do it was because he was afraid of Mingxiu in his hand, and now that Mingxiu is safe, he doesn't have to keep his hand anymore.

"There's no need to leave a mouth alive."

In just one sentence, Xie Yang's life and death were decided.

With no hands to worry about Mingxiu's safety, she could only let her watch Xie Yang fall in a pool of blood.

This is the first time Myeong-su has seen a living person die in front of her.

The original pale face caused by blood loss and pain was even more pale, and she looked at Xie Yang's corpse and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

The archer in the dark did not intend to let them go, and shot arrows in the direction of Xie Zhan again and again, without mercy for the lives that were killed by mistake.

It is also because of this that his place is exposed.

"The master withdraws first, and his subordinates go down to chase people!"

In the chaos, Xie Zhan's arm was wounded, and the flesh and skin mixed with the fabric of his clothes were embedded in the arrows, and he only saw the end when he went deep into the ground.

"To live."

Xie Zhan only left this sentence, he didn't even care about the injuries on his body, holding Mingxiu in one hand and a sword in the other, threw her on the horse, and rode away.

"Those Guards of Yours ......"

It was not only Xie Yang who died, but also those brought by Xie Zhan himself also had a lot of casualties, and Mingxiu was a little unbearable.

"The wounded will be treated, and the dead will be buried."

For his subordinates, Xie Zhan has never been stingy.

Mingxiu nodded and stopped talking.

Until the city, Mingxiu didn't say a word to Xie Zhan.

"Go to my house first and take care of your injuries."

"What did you tell my mom and dad?"

After coming out for such a long time, Mingxiu didn't tell his family in advance, and the situation at home was always at ease.

Xie Zhan had already sent someone to her house before he came.

"I told your father and mother that you have something to do with me and can't get away for the time being, and your father and mother didn't suspect it, but just said that the restaurant will open when you go back."

Xie Zhan admired Mingxiu a little in his heart, how long had he been in the capital?

With his funding, he bought his own restaurant in such a short time, which many people can't do.

With his escort and Mingxiu's own means, although their restaurant may not make money every day, it is very easy to make a good life.

Such a woman, such a means, how can he not be moved?

"Got it, thank you."

Mingxiu pursed her lips, she felt a little uncomfortable, and she didn't know how to face Xie Zhan for a while.

Even though this kind of thing is very normal for him, Mingxiu still wants to know, doesn't he have any mood swings at all?

Looking back at the man beside him, Mingxiu said with a little doubt and inquiry, "You seem to be ...... didn't take Xie Yang's life to heart. ”

"How do you take it to heart? He's always going to die. Xie Zhan didn't look back, and took care of making tea for her.

"I just can't learn your tea-making skills." Mingxiu shook her head, she used to think that the picture of making tea was very good, and she had learned from Xie Zhan for a few days, but she really couldn't learn it.

Xie Zhan didn't care, "That's because you haven't worked hard, and my father is very strict with our brothers." He seemed to be lost in his memories.

"The queen mother has not died yet, although Xie Yang has not been named the crown prince, but everyone has already acquiesced to his position as the crown prince, he is many years older than me, and he also gave me a passport when he was a child, and did the responsibility of the eldest brother."

Xie Zhan respected Xie Yang very much back then, although the two were not in and out together, but they were unusually harmonious and friendly.

At that time, Concubine Zhen was still a noble person in the harem, with no status and no favor, and what kind of life she lived in the inner court with her son can be imagined.

If there was no Xie Yang, Xie Zhan might not even be able to enter the Guozijian.

It can't grow into what it is today.

This is Xie Yang's love for his brother.

When did it start to change?

Maybe Xie Zhan grew up and showed a talent far beyond Xie Yang, and the emperor also valued him so much that he had obviously left the crown prince, but when the princes were divided, he let Xie Zhan stay in the capital, and when he was sick and couldn't handle the government, he named him the regent, instead of the default prince in charge of the country since the previous dynasties.

Xie Zhan threatened his position, so even if he was a young brother who had been pampered for many years, Xie Yang still did it.

This is the sorrow of the royal brothers.

Mingxiu didn't know how to answer, and Xie Zhan just talked to himself.

"Actually, as long as he honestly guards his father's tomb in the imperial mausoleum, I won't do anything to him."

At least at the beginning, Xie Zhan wanted Xie Yangan to spend his life in peace.

That was because he promised the previous emperor, and it was because when Xie Zhan was a child, Xie Yang's efforts with him were great favors to Xie Zhan.

It's a pity......

Xie Zhan looked back at Mingxiu, the girl in front of him was his sweetheart and his counter-scale.

At that time, as long as he could save her life, he didn't mind letting the defenders of the capital out.

If you want to control those soldiers and horses, it's not just enough to have a talisman.

Fortunately, after that change, the talisman is still in his hands.

Mingxiu pursed her lips, "Your injuries haven't been dealt with yet." ”

"I will let the imperial brother be buried in the imperial mausoleum, and let's go to worship together for the first seven."

“…… Good. ”
