Chapter 86: The Wedding of the King of Chongqing
When Bi An heard Lord Xiao say this, he was so frightened that he lay on the ground and kowtowed: "What does the emperor mean by this?" Scare the minions to death! Eighteen years ago, the old slave really doesn't remember. ”
Lord Xiao looked up at the starry sky and smiled miserably: "Yes, it's time to forget, Prime Minister Lan Cheng's dream is about to come true, but it's a pity that my stupid son is still waiting for the day when his father-in-law's army returns to the court, so that he can ascend the throne and sit in the palace, Chen'er, my son, when will you return to your father's side!" ”
Xiao Yichen's heart skipped a beat, through the dim candlelight, he clearly saw the tears in the corners of his father's eyes, just now there was something in his father's words, it seems that Lan Guang lied about the defeat of the army, and the delay in returning to the dynasty was to delay Xiao Yishuo's accession to the throne and succeed me, but why did he do this?
A bolt of lightning pierced the night sky, followed by a rumbling thunder, and Lord Xiao looked up at the vast night sky and sighed to himself: "It's going to rain, it's going to rain, butterfly, are you coming back to visit me?" I'm incompetent! Even my most beloved woman can't protect her, knowing that Lan Guang colluded with the guards, but I can only watch you leave...... Butterfly, our Chen'er has grown up, you want to bless our Chen'er in the spirit of heaven to return safely and inherit the throne smoothly, and it will not be in vain that I have endured humiliation and burdens for 18 years, and waited for 18 years. ”
When Xiao Yichen heard this, he seemed to understand his father's hard work, it seemed that he had to send himself to the Wind Dance Country as a proton, but also to save his life, listening to his father's sadness talking to himself, Xiao Yichen's heart was also sad, he had tasted the warmth and coldness of the world in the eighteen years of proton life, if it weren't for the palace grandmother and those guards desperately protecting, how could he be today!
He was like a frightened bird all day long, especially when he first arrived in the country of Wind Dance, he and Gong Mama lived in the livestock shed, it was dark around, he had a high fever and did not go away, Gong Mama cried and begged the soldiers who were guarding them, let him see the doctor, give him some medicine, but those soldiers were cold-blooded and ruthless, and they didn't put his life and death in their eyes at all, and in a daze, he saw Gong Mama naked, lying on the cold ground and changing his bowl of soup and medicine, from that moment on, Xiao Yichen, who was the prince, died, And Proton Xiao Yichen began a life of lying on the salary and tasting courage!
Over the years, no one knows how he survived, and when he was about to take it anymore, he saw Mama Gong staring at him with tearful eyes, telling him to live well and avenge his mother.
Even if it's to protect yourself, is going to the country of Wind Dance to be a proton is the only way out?! Xiao Yichen recalled the torture he had suffered, but he was still unwilling to forgive his father.
Xiao Yi gently grabbed Xiao Yichen's hand, blinked his eyes, as if to remind him of something, Xiao Yichen hurriedly retracted his thoughts, and watched Bi An serve his father and drink the decoction, after Bi An retreated, but saw that Xiao Guozhu suddenly sat up, clasped his throat with his hand, and spit all the decoction into the basin! After a while, Lord Xiao said in a low voice, "Chen'er, is it you?" ”
Xiao Yichen was stunned, he knew that his father didn't know martial arts, how could he know that he was on the roof.
Xiao Yichen and Xiao Yu fell in the bedroom of the lord of Xiao, and Xiao Yichen knelt down: "No, Xiao'er asks for peace to my father." ”
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Xiao Yu knelt behind Xiao Yichen.
Lord Xiao nodded: "Let's all get up." ”
"Father, your body is ......." After all, it is the father and son who are connected, Xiao Yichen looked at the pale face of the Lord Xiao, felt sad for a while, got up and helped Lord Xiao to sit on the couch.
Lord Xiao shook his head: "I should have gone with your mother eighteen years ago, but you and Luo Chen are still young, and your mother's revenge has not been avenged, so my father has to live secretly, now it's okay, you are back, Luo Chen has also grown up, from now on, your two brothers must work together to deal with Lan Guang!" The old thief's plot must not be allowed to succeed! ”
Lord Xiao grabbed Xiao Yichen's hand with some excitement, and his godless eyes were full of eagerness at this time: "Chen'er, promise your father, the first thing you will do when you ascend the throne is to kill Lan Guang and avenge your father, the emperor and the princess!" ”
Xiao Yichen looked at his father who was a little excited, killing Lan Guang and even punishing him was originally the target of Xiao Yichen's pursuit, but Xue Yi's black and white eyes shook in front of his eyes, and Beiling Xue Yi's words were still in his ears, he once said that he would fulfill Xue Yi's wish, but he didn't expect Xue Yi to only say: "After he ascends the throne one day, Rao Languang will not die." ”
Although he did not agree, he never refused, at this time, Xue Yi was still lying in the igloo life and death, if she knew that he was going to kill her father, would she forgive him?
"Father, back then, was it really Lan Guang who colluded with the guards to frame my mother?" Xiao Yichen suddenly thought that this was a misunderstanding, it was Concubine Jing who killed his mother and not Lan Guang, so that he could never have a gap with Xue Yi again.
"Why do you ask that? Don't you believe your father or the results of your own investigation? Back then, Lan Guang colluded with Xue Feng of the Wind Dance Country, if it weren't for me pretending not to know and giving your mother to death, I'm afraid that the lord of the Moon Inviting Country at this time would be your stupid uncle! Lord Xiao looked at Xiao Yichen with some excitement, he didn't allow him to have such suspicions!
"Now that Lan Guang and Xiao Yishuo are united, how should we deal with the 100,000 elite soldiers under them?" Xiao Yichen looked at his father tentatively, fifteen years of separation, the handsome and dashing father in front of him has become a sickly old man, and in fact he is only in his forties, if there is no calculation of the people around him, he should be in the prime of life at this time.
Xiao Yichen didn't believe that his father was really so weak, since he knew the truth fifteen years ago, and had the heart to avenge his mother's concubine, then he should have made a plan early on.
Sure enough, Lord Xiao smiled: "Chen'er, you and Xiao Escort will leave the capital quickly in a while, and stay at the Ruyi Inn outside the capital, and my edict will arrive at the Ruyi Inn in two days, and at that time, you can return to the palace openly."
Xiao Yichen was still about to ask again, and Lord Xiao waved his hand tiredly: "Okay, you guys stand down, after talking about it for a long time, I'm also tired, remember, Ruyi Inn, you will naturally understand in two days." ”
Xiao Yichen had no choice but to retreat, according to his meaning, he wanted to go back to the Fish and Dragon Temple, Xiao Yu stopped him, the reason was that the Fish and Dragon Temple was very safe, but if they came and went frequently, they would find unnecessary suspicion and trouble, at this time the capital was full of Xiao Yishuo's eyeliner, if he found Xue Yi and Liu Nong, then it would be a big deal, Xiao Yichen knew that what Xiao Yu said was reasonable, and Xiao Yu went straight to the Ruyi Inn.
Xiao Yichen lay on the bed with his hands on his pillow, looked at the roof and asked Xiao Yu who was wiping his sword: "Xiao Yu, you said that in two days, in what name will my father let me return to Beijing?" ”
Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, and his hand was accidentally cut on the blade of the sword.
Xiao Yichen glanced at Xiao Yan: "What's wrong with you?" He looks preoccupied. ”
Xiao Yu just bowed his head and said nothing, stood up after the sword was still sheathed, and said sullenly: "I'll go out to breathe, and I'll be back in a while." Xiao Yichen looked at Xiao Yudi's back a little strangely, Xiao Yu seemed strange.
The past two days have been like years for Xiao Yichen, he is not worried about Xueyi and his father in the palace, it is almost noon on this day, Xiao Yichen is a little breathless, he walks back and forth in the room.
Xiao Yichen pushed open the door and was about to enter the capital to find out, but saw that the path outside the door was dusty, and a pair of Praetorian Guards wearing red brocade robes were sitting on horses galloping.
"Hu ......" led the leader to hold the reins of the horse after seeing Xiao Yichen, jumped off the horse, and knelt down in front of Xiao Yichen: "Lin Er, the leader of the guards, has seen the prince, the prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old. ”
Xiao Yichen hurriedly hugged Lin Er with both hands: "Don't be polite, I don't know what General Lin is doing here?" ”
Lin Er took out the holy decree from his arms: "Xiao Yichen, the king of Chongqing, receives the decree." ”
Xiao Yichen hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, there is a wind dance messenger to escort the princess of the blue lotus to invite the moon and kiss, the princess of the blue lotus belongs to the king of Chongqing for a long time, and hereby urgently edict the prince of Chongqing to return to Beijing to marry, Qin this." Lin Er handed the edict to Xiao Yichen and clasped his fists with both hands: "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince." ”
Xiao Yichen waved his hand: "He also invited General Lin's palace to drink wedding wine in the future." ”
Lin Er said goodbye, Xiao Yichen unfolded the holy decree, if in the clouds, how could Lan He come to invite the moon and kiss? The Wind Dance Country is thousands of miles away from Shuangyang City, how could my father know that Lan He came to make peace two days ago? Why do you want to hide yourself?!
Xiao Yichen's mind was confused for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was something strange about this matter, but where the strange thing was, it seemed to be in his mind but he couldn't figure it out.
"Xiao Yan, what do you think?"
Xiao Yu looked into the distance thoughtfully: "Princess Lanhe should have been in Shuangyang City for a long time." She is just an excuse for the emperor to let you go back to Beijing, and after the marriage, it is also a reason to ask for help. ”
Xiao Yichen shook his head, things are by no means so simple, at this time, the Wind Dance Country is also turbulent, and Leng Fengyue is too late to deal with Xue Feng, not to mention the continuous major and small battles between the two countries for decades, how could he send troops to help the Yue Country?
Unless...... Unless there is trouble in the country of Feng Wu, Leng Fengyue has always loved Lan He's sister the most, and he must have entrusted Lan He to Xiao Yichen to avoid something.
"Let's go! Back to Beijing! Xiao Yichen picked up his sword and strode out of the inn to chase the lightning.
It's just speculation now, and you can only ask why when you meet Princess Lanhe.
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Yichen and held back a sentence for a long time: "Lord, if you really marry Princess Lanhe, you will never be able to save Xue Yi again."
Xiao Yichen heard the words and grabbed the reins of the horse, turned around and looked at Xiao Yi who was a little crimson curiously, he was very strange about what he had to do with Lan He's wedding and saving Xueyi: "How do you say this?" Do I have a relationship with Lan He and Xue Yi for their wedding? ”
