Chapter 189: Stand-in

The soldiers approached the city, and the young man rode his horse and stood outside the city that had not been attacked for a long time, and a division behind him hurriedly passed through the old part of the young man, and said eagerly: "Your Highness, if you can't attack it again, your brother's support force will ......."

The young man just rushed here before his royal brother, and no one expected him to be able to grasp the battle situation in an instant and make a command to turn the situation around, the military advisor just threw out a premise first, in fact, the generals who had been in a stalemate with the defenders of the city for several months knew that they had lost as early as today, and they were already discussing the matter of surrendering, and the military advisor came to persuade the youth.

However, the young man did not give him even a trace of his afterglow, and drew his long sword in a tall and upright manner, pointing straight at the city wall.

The military advisor was stunned for a moment, looked in the direction of the tip of his knife, and suddenly understood that this order was not given to them.

I saw a black shadow flashing from somewhere on the city wall like a ghost, as if it suddenly appeared from the void, and I couldn't see what was happening above it from a distance, but I only vaguely saw that the enemy troops stationed on the city wall suddenly became chaotic, and corpses fell from the city wall and fell to the ground one after another.

The young man stood still, stared at it for a moment, and suddenly lost interest, bowed his head and ordered: "Order all teams to prepare and prepare to enter the city." ”

The military advisor noticed that he was talking about entering the city instead of attacking the city, and couldn't help but feel very ridiculous, and subconsciously said: "Even if His Highness has a secret soldier who is strong enough to climb the city wall, he can't make any changes to the battle situation alone, so please follow me ...... Your Highness."

"Prepare to enter the city." The young man interrupted him to order again, and there was no room for maneuver in his tone.

The military advisor immediately realized that he could no longer talk to this future leader, this person was reckless and arrogant, and it was not worth continuing to follow him at all, perhaps the general was right, he was just a puppet who relied on his blood status, and he did not have the destiny to be the emperor.

Just when the military division turned to the rear, halfway through, there was a sudden exclamation of soldiers behind him, and the military division turned to look, only to see that the city wall, which had been closed for several months and could not be attacked, was opened.

The city wall was opened by such a lone person!

What made the military advisor even more stunned was that when he entered the city gate with the young man, he saw that the woman who was alone, stepping on the ground with blood and corpses on the ground, and standing inside the city gate with a sword in both hands.

Although her face was splashed with blood, it was clearly clear that it was an extremely beautiful woman, she gasped heavily, raised her head and watched the young man walking towards her for a moment, her gaze was almost so hot that it could burn people, and her expression was like that of a patient who was deeply addicted, desperately trying to take the antidote to his symptoms from the young man, as if if she could take a slight look away, she would immediately die in severe pain because of the onset of the disease.

Gradually, the people who followed the youth understood one thing, this woman with an extremely strange figure, an extremely mysterious body, and such a beautiful woman, was completely young and only looked forward. She would do whatever the young man gave without complaint, and she became the sharpest sword in the young man's hand, aimed at his father and brother's chest.

In fact, at that time, Gala's heart disease was very serious, and after spending more than ten years of panic when she couldn't find a match for the physique of a thousand mirages, she suddenly had infinite worries. She was afraid that the young man would die before the thousand mirages woke up, she was afraid that she would not be able to find the next replacement after the young man's bones and blood failed, and she was afraid that the inheritance of the thousand mirages would end at any moment, and she would fall into a state of panic and could not get rid of herself.

She forced the youth to stay in her sight at all times, and sometimes even when the youth woke up in the middle of the night, they would find Gala awake and in the room.

For a moment, the young man felt creepy, he had been with her since he was a young boy and was taken away by Gala halfway to escape from his father. She was indeed a very qualified supporter, and she only carried out the orders of the young man without questioning, but at the same time he clearly understood that when Gala looked at him with such emotional eyes, she was actually looking at another person through him.

When he was young, he asked Gala very naively, "Who is Mirage?" ”

For a moment, a terrifying look flashed across Gala's face, but after a moment, she quickly smiled and said, "It's you." ”

She couldn't make sense in this regard, no matter how much the young man tried to understand the meaning behind her words, he ended up in failure, and over time, the flattery and shyness that he had at first faced with such a look faded from the young man's mind, and turned into another kind of anger that even he himself could not explain.

He was spoiled by Gala when he was growing up, and he learned to grasp Gala's psychology without a teacher, and even deliberately committed self-harm behavior, exposing himself to the sight of his father and brother, and appreciating the panicked expression on Gala's face when he came to rescue him, and his heart was full of revenge.

The young man gradually discovered that Gala was like a puppet with all the threads in his hands, and his every move changed according to his actions, and he did all kinds of behaviors to test Gala's feelings, and even made intimacy with other women in front of Gala, but in the end, he was surprised and disappointed to find that Gala did not seem to mind these things.

It seemed that allowing him to survive in the intricate battle for royal power had already consumed all of Gara's mental strength, and her nerves were tense to the extreme, and she couldn't care about anything else.

But then the young man had an even more absurd conjecture: perhaps Gala did not know her own inner feelings at all.

Occasionally, Gala reveals his doubts about the complexity of human affairs, and while his life experience and past are confusing, the young man discovers that Gala is unexpectedly simple in some ways.

This doesn't mean that she doesn't know these things, but she retains an animal-like instinct for them, and she is not too influenced by the rules of the world, but seems indifferent. Just as the young man deliberately let Gala bump into himself in bed with another woman in disheveled clothes, Gala did not show much emotion.

Young people are very disappointed by this.

He knew that this meant that it wasn't him who Gara's cared about, but the one who could see through him, called Mirage.

He constantly guessed the person's appearance and personality, and guessed the story and relationship between him and Gala through his usual reactions.

Are they brother and sister, are they fellow disciples, or are they childhood sweethearts who grew up together?

Are they lovers, are they husband and wife?

What is the whereabouts of the man named Qianmir now, is he dead or alive, where is he dead, and where is he alive?

Why did Gala choose him and help him without expecting anything in return?

The young man didn't have much thought about the throne, and his expectations were only to nominate his virtuous second brother to the throne and release his mother who was suffering in the deep palace. All his memories of the palace were the night when his mother's cry was constantly heard, and the blurred light of the sky that he hid under the window to love, and the young man only saw the shape of the majestic palace from a distance on the day he fled, and then it was just the time he spent with her after being taken away by Gala.

The young man was originally intelligent, but with the help of Gala's actions and the cooperation of the second brother, the young man soon met with the second brother who had been absent for a long time, and got in touch with the reality outside of the letter.

Who knew that the second brother's first reaction after seeing him was to be stunned, and then in order to hide his stunnedness, he said: "I just said that the old man looks like a mother, and the longer he grows, the more beautiful he becomes!" ”

The people around the second brother showed meaningful eyes when they heard this.

The young man didn't understand the meaning of this look at the time, he didn't pay much attention to his appearance, he was indeed handsome, much better than others, but it was normal for this to be like his mother, after all, his mother was also a famous beauty back then.

However, when he finally entered the palace with his second brother and really saw his mother, the young man realized that he had never met his mother since he was sent to flee.

Even the mother concubine herself was at the moment when she saw him, and the joy on her face was replaced by doubt in an instant.

The young man no longer looked like any one in the royal family, not like his late father, not like every one of his brothers, and even without the slightest resemblance to his own mother.

All the people who reunited after a long time couldn't help but have doubts about the appearance of the young man and his identity, after all, a parent who is pure from the Central Plains and has dark eyes, the possibility of giving birth to a light-eyed child is very small. In addition, the young brothers are all dark-eyed, and none of them have light-colored pupils like him, as if they had been diluted by water.

The young man knew that Gala was not an extraordinary person, and he also had some strange methods, and remembered what Gala seemed to have done to him back then, which made him suffer for a short period of extreme pain, but these doubts were dissipated by Gala's connivance and concern in the future, and were hidden in his heart as insignificant details.

Until the moment of reunion with the old man in the main hall. Remembering Gala's feverish and intense eyes again, the young man suddenly understood the meaning.

It was indeed looking at someone else, and Gala was watching him little by little, gradually becoming someone else.

It becomes a mirage.

The young man did not choose to question Gala, he knew very well in his heart that if it were not for the existence of a thousand mirages, Gala might not have looked at him more.

A little bit of resentment, jealousy, shame, little by little, accumulated in the heart over the years, so that the moment the young man found himself so eager to be seen by Gala, the emotions stronger than love had fermented to the point where he could not control himself.

The young man pushed open the door of the temple and saw the gorgeous costumes and jewelry on the table as they were, and the treasures in the room were pushed into the corner, Gala was only relieved the moment she saw him enter, and then fell into a daze again.

She is often in this state after repeatedly confirming that the youth is safe, and the youth does not know what she wants and does not understand what she is thinking.

The splendid palaces and clothes, the servants of the servants, and the rare weapons could not attract her attention more.

The young man squatted down on one knee in front of Gala and asked softly, "What do you really want?" ”

"What the hell do you want from me?"

There was a very soft emotion in Gala's eyes, but the young man knew that it was not his own.

Gala shook her head and said, "You will be safe." ”

"Why did you save me back then?" The young man asked: "I am just an abandoned prince, with no power, and even the risk of being hunted down, and you, in terms of your skills, no matter which country's monarch you throw yourself into, will be treated and appreciated by the highest guests, and will be treated and appreciated by countless ordinary people in a lifetime of glory and wealth." ”

"I'm not rare with those."

"And what do you want, me?" The young man slowly approached her, his voice low as if whispering, "Do you want me?" ”

Gala stared at his face, her lips slightly open, but she couldn't speak.

The young man's fingers gently caressed her lips and asked, "Even for the person you've always missed, aren't you angry and sad when you see me mixed with other women?" ”

He induced him to ask, "Since you say that I am a mirage, then why are you so dishonest with me?" Do you really not feel it? Then why did you deliberately lure the woman who was kind to me out of the city and let her be shot to death by random arrows? ”

Gala suddenly showed a look of guilt and shame, and the young man thought that she was ashamed that she had eaten so inhonestly because she was jealous, and ashamed of her jealousy, so he slowly leaned over and kissed her on the lips.

The two of them exhaled warmly, and after a moment of confusion, Gala suddenly pushed the young man away, stood up in a panic, and then turned and rushed out.

The young man thought he was wrong.

The expression on Gala's face was not shy, shame or accuracy, but another kind of resistance, a look of intense self-loathing as if she had found herself blasphemous.
