Seventeen pressed Xiao Yu'an's hand, in case he suddenly controlled the emotion exposure, today's incident happened suddenly, they were also unexpected, according to their original plan, it was scheduled to leave the city in three days, when the literati without a scholar would make a big fuss in the mansion, stirring up the city full of storms, and Jingming would dispatch all the beggars in Kyoto to cause chaos.

However, it can take advantage of the chaos to bring Xia Zhishu out, Xiao Yu'an took Liang Wenjiu's people as bait, Yiren answered at the city gate, and rushed out of the city gate as soon as they converged, Yiren had the sword of the Son of Heaven in his hand, which was more than enough to deter those people at the city gate, as long as they escaped, Xiao Ye would have no way/

This morning, it disrupted all their plans, and the three of them could only act at the opportunity, Xiao Yu'an looked at the woman standing on the prisoner car, with an indifferent face, and the blue tendons on her forehead burst out, but she couldn't bear it and didn't make a move.

The three of them squatted in the tea shed at the gate of the city, using straw as a cover, "No! Seventeen suddenly spoke up, attracting the attention of the two, "Xiao Ye knows that we are in Kyoto, but he still sends such a small number of people to escort us, there must be a fraud." ”

Yiren poked his head out to look, and found that there were only two teams of people sent to the prisoners, and then saw that their leader was Su Li, and his voice sank, "He is reminding us." ”

The infantry in front, the cavalry in the back, this is simply a taboo in the art of war, the cavalry should rush to the front to open the way, and walking in the end has become an ornament, even though Xiao Ye wants them to relax their vigilance, obviously he didn't expect Su Li to leave this hand.

The three of them fell silent, and Seventeen gave Jing Ming a look, and Jing Ming understood, and quietly hid from the tea shed.

"It's not good, only hard to break through." Yiren looked at Seventeen, "Brother Xiao handed it over to you, you must bring him back and bring him back to the north." ”

Seventeen looked at her and pursed his lips, "Okay." ”

Xiao Yu was relieved, "What about you?" ”

"I'm a princess, as long as I reveal my identity, they won't dare to do anything to me, I can help you delay time in Kyoto."

To put it simply, she is a hostage, falling into Xiao Ye's hands, her final ending must be death, but does it really make a difference who dies? If it was just to call a person to die, Xiao Yu'an didn't know what the meaning was.

"She's just a hostage, and I'm a bargaining chip." When Yiren saw his expression, he knew what he was thinking, she had too many things that Xiao Ye wanted, the edict, the double seal, the sword of the Son of Heaven, everything he needed was in her hands, these were his bargaining chips, he could use these to drag Xiao Ye, and Xia Zhishu was just a hostage who came out of him.

Xiao Yu'an is indecisive, and he has never been clearer than Yiren in terms of right and wrong, as a king, his feelings are too heavy, which is a burden, and Yiren hopes that he can understand that even human feelings must be distinguished from the pros and cons, otherwise there is only fearless sacrifice.

Seventeen was silently paying attention to the side, and seeing that Su Li had already walked in with someone, he lowered the brim of his hat on his head and dragged the two of them into the crowd.

There were too many people on both sides, Xia Zhishu stared at the front with his eyes blankly, and didn't notice them, Yiren thought, with a flash of inspiration, he looked around, ran to the small vendor behind him, looked at the bell in front of him, and smashed his heart to the ground.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." As he spoke, he buried his head to pick it up, and lowered the brim of his hat.

The long street was already quiet, only the high-pitched voice of the suona was ringing, and she stopped in the middle to find an opportunity to smash the bell down, and the people who were close to her turned around to take a look, and then turned around again, not paying much attention, the high-pitched suona sound sounded again, Yiren buried his head and returned to Seventeen and Xiao Yu'an, "Did she see us?" ”

Seventeen replied, "You're taking too much risk like this." ”

Yiren also knows adventure, but there is no other hair for her, Xia Zhishu once said that she envied the braid that Seventeen gave her, especially the small bell at the end of her hair, but it was silent, for a while she held a string of bells every day and shook it in her ears, and said that she loved the sound of the bell jingling and shaking, she just wanted to try it, and it turned out that her recklessness was not wrong.

Xia Zhishu suddenly heard the sound of the crisp bell falling to the ground, his face changed suddenly, and he looked at the sound, and saw a woman in white holding the braid on her chest, lowering her head to pick up something, and then hurriedly walked into the crowd, it was the crowd surging, Xia Zhishu seemed to have Lin Xi in his heart, and locked their direction at once, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Xiao Yu'an's complicated expression.

There is sadness, self-blame, anger, and more remorse, that kind of expression makes it difficult for her to breathe, her eyes are inexplicably moist, before the tears fall, she gently holds her breath, and when she calms down, she looks away, "Mr. Su, please wait and do me a favor, I want to go up to the city tower." ”

Xiao Ye's purpose was to lure them to the gate of the city and force them to a dead end, his mind couldn't be more obvious, if Su Li resisted, he would put himself in danger, "Girl, forgive me for being embarrassed." ”

Xia Zhishu didn't answer, Su Li followed her eyes and looked over, and saw the three people hidden in the crowd at a glance, maybe it was his own reason, he felt that they were too bright, even if they had been disguised so far, he still saw them at a glance.

He saw a girl he hadn't seen for a long time, dressed in a white plain dress, wearing a hat, revealing a pointed chin and pink lips, and the tip of her nose hidden in the shadows.

Xia Zhishu saw Xiao Yu'an's hand on the hilt of the knife, slowly closed his eyes, tears quietly crossed him, and said softly, "My husband." ”

As soon as she opened her mouth, Su Li raised her hand to stop the person who was still playing suona, and the crowd was silent, quietly watching Xia Zhishu.

Xia Zhishu covered his face with a fan, and bowed slightly in the narrow prison car, "My husband, you call him the son of Chang'an, he is humble and polite, treats people equally, and is the ability to lead the army, the heart of love, he has seven emotions and six desires in his heart, and he has a family and a country, he is the son of Xiao Shizi of Xiao Hou Mansion, and His Royal Highness King Jing who was personally enshrined by the first emperor, and the eldest son of the first emperor, His Royal Highness the Prince, I am her crown princess, the eldest daughter of General Xia's Mansion, Xia Zhishu." ”

She said very gently, like an ordinary person nagging to introduce herself, her eyes were sparkling, she laughed low twice, and put down the fan, "You said that Marquis Xiao collaborated with the enemy and treason, Marquis Xiao is the general of the western border guard, he was recalled to Beijing by the first emperor to recuperate, and the latter hand Xiao Yezhi guarded the southwest wilderness, he fought all his life, you said that he collaborated with the enemy and treason, and when he slept at night, did he ever hear the roar of the southwest soldiers, and he slept peacefully?" ”

Her voice is still so calm, inexplicably giving people a feeling of giving up, this feeling makes them depressed in the hearts of the people, Xia Zhishu grew up later, and I also want to understand why these people will pretend to see her off, not because they really pity her, but in order to comfort their conscience, you see, I also sent her the last ride, people's hearts are like this, I can't help but think about it a little, so, it is better to make them more and more sad, if you can wake up a person, it is also good.

Xia Zhishu looked at these people indifferently, smiled, and laughed like a spring breeze, "But these, I also forgive you." ”

Everyone couldn't react, and heard her say again: "But Xiao Ye, what kind of thing is he, seeking power and usurping the throne, collaborating with the enemy and treason, trying to murder the prince, and giving away the country, can't you see it?" Don't have a heart? Her voice was tinged with grief and indignation, "Do you send him to sit in that position in peace, and after a hundred years, watch your children and grandchildren suffer, and take a rare breath to worship their ancestors in troubled times, and ask you to bless them?" Are you worthy of the souls of the soldiers who drove them? ”

Everyone gasped, someone was whimpering and crying, Xia Zhishu looked at the person who had been staring at her in the distance, ripped off the flesh and skin, smiled at him, and immediately urged his eyes to cover half of his face with a fan, and tears soaked the fan, "Mr. Su." Please. ”

Seeing that their direct distance was getting closer and closer, Seventeen and Xiao Yu'an's hands slowly fell on the hilt of the sword, Su Li saw this, his fingertips moved slightly, and the seventeenth hand still fell on the hilt of the sword, and it was not unsheathed, and the crowd suddenly surged.

"Quick, save the princess!"

A group of black-clothed people rushed towards Xia Zhishu, the crowd suddenly became flustered, scattered and ran away, and the first reaction of the two of them was to protect Yiren behind them, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's not our people, it's Xiao Jiajun." Yiren recognized Xiao Jiajun's dark lines, and when Su Li came to look for her, he had seen the secret guard behind him.

The man in black avoided them and ran straight in the direction of Xia Zhishu, the two teams of people who escorted Xia Zhishu were scattered, Xiao Yu'an was about to run towards her, but the Xiao family army, who had avoided them, suddenly made a move towards them, and the two had to deal with it, and Seventeen took advantage of the chaos to release a signal to Jing Ming.

A big knife slashed down, and the prisoner car was instantly split in half, "Princess, go with your subordinates, your subordinates will serve ......" After saying that, the man suddenly spit out the blood of his clothes and pants, splashed on Xia Zhishu's dress, and instantly merged into one, Xia Zhishu stood there dumbly, his pupils dilated, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.

Su Li kicked away the corpse in front of him, took her hand and ran towards the city gate, Xiao Jiajun rushed up, Su Li released fireworks, and ordered the people who were ambushed in advance to arrest the thief.

Seventeen and Xiao Yu'an barely resisted, and Xiao Jiajun was just trying to trap them, seeing that Xia Zhishu had already walked out of the prisoner car, he left her in an instant, and then a dense array of long arrows shot down, and the two escorted the Yiren to retreat in the direction of the city gate, and the two armies confronted each other, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

Jing Ming hurried over with the secret guards of the Liang Mansion and blocked in front of them, he opened the city gate according to the plan in advance, and at this time Xia Zhishu was already standing on the city tower, Su Li was standing behind her, and Xiao Jiajun was holding a spear at Su Li.

"Quick, get out of town, it's too late."

** Shouting, trying to wake up Xiao Yu'an.

Xiao Yu'an looked at Xia Zhishu at a high place, but he couldn't move his body for some reason, and as soon as his mind was hot, he was about to run to the meeting.

Seeing this, Seventeen snatched two horses, pulled Yiren on the horse to protect him, flicked the long whip on his waist, blocked Xiao Yu'an's way, and then threw it on the back of another group of horses, the two horses galloped to the city gate, and the Xiao family army and Xiao Ye's people behind him were still confronting, not knowing who the enemy was, obviously all this was beyond their expectations.

On the city tower, the Xiao family army was fighting with them, and in the end they were outnumbered or defeated, Xiao Yu'an turned around and saw Xia Zhishu wearing a red shirt, standing there lonely, Su Li stood behind her, looking indifferent.

"Brother Xiao?" The Yiren spoke out uneasily, as if they wanted to say something, all this today was really beyond their expectations, Su Li wanted them to go out of Beijing, but for them, such a result was too costly.

His eyes were lonely, as if he had lost his soul, and he looked at the people on the city tower decadently, without even blinking his eyes.

Xia Zhishu looked at the lonely voice, tears couldn't stop flowing down, the city tower was still fighting, the city gate had been slowly closed, and Jing Ming had quietly retreated with people.

He had many doubts in his heart, but he couldn't find the source, so he stood in front of the window in confusion, listening to the sound of rain outside the window.

When Yiren saw him, he was standing in front of the window like this, alone, Yiren wrapped the cloak on his body tightly and poured him a cup of hot tea, "Brother Xiao?"

Xiao Yu'an turned around, there was a faint dark blue in his eyes, obviously he hadn't slept all night, he smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect you to be willing to call me Brother Xiao." ”

"What nonsense? You won't always be our big brother Xiao!" Yiren handed him the hot tea in his hand and closed the window for him, "It's windy outside, so it's better to be careful." ”

Xiao Yu'an lowered his eyes, put down the teacup, and clenched his clenched fist into his sleeve, "You know that you are not a real princess, but you are still willing to do this, don't you regret it?"

Yiren knew that in fact, he wanted to ask about the place where his brother of her family was sent to the palace, and he didn't regret watching him die?

How to regret it? She raised her eyes, smiled, and looked at her seriously, "Even if I am not a princess, I am also a courtier, this is my responsibility, I feel regret because I have regrets, but Brother Xiao can't regret it, I can't let them sacrifice in vain." ”

"I thought you'd blame me." He said it in a low voice, obviously a little lost.

Yiren was stunned for a moment, and said lightly, "If I blame you for making you feel better, then you blame me for you, but it's not your fault in the first place." ”

To say pitiful, he is not a pitiful person, his life has never been his own decision, Yiren is not so selfish, one of her greatest wishes in this life is that everyone can be free and satisfied.

"Huh." Xiao Yu'an chuckled inexplicably, put his hand to his lips, his shoulders were trembling slightly, Yiren turned to look at him, but saw him laughing even more wildly, "What are you laughing at?"

Xiao Yu'an straightened her cloak for her, Yiren reflexively took a step back, she retreated, and Xiao Yu'an entered, "I finally know why I stayed on you alone." ”

He reverted to his former appearance of a humble gentleman, but inexplicably made Yiren feel flustered, his fingers unconsciously clenched, and he was not afraid, but in the face of something that had not been pierced, she felt helpless, so she could only stand there stiffly.

Xiao Yu'an noticed her nervousness, and smiled even more, but he just took a step back for her cloak and kept a comfortable distance for her, he bent down and kept her eye level, "It's because you have the ability to not care about everything that I envy." ”

"I like you."

"I ......"

Xiao Yu'an interrupted her, straightened up and looked out the window again, "But that was before, and it may be before now." ”

He chuckled under his breath, as if to say something very good.
