Chapter 569: Family and Country Hatred
The war spread, and the place where the prodigal son and Xiaoqi crossed was either the sound of drums and horns, or the blood flowed like a river. They did not get involved in the fight, and relied on their skill to avoid many killings.
Xiao Qi tried to harden his heart, tried to deal with many things independently and strongly, and tried to only benefit the prodigal son during the journey without investing in feelings.
Three years later, the monarch of the Miao Kingdom lost, and the royal family was captured. Xiao Qi wanted to return to the capital to save his relatives, but the prodigal son resolutely stopped him. His reasoning was that those people were not her relatives at all, and she was stubborn about going. She didn't go because of family affection, she just wanted to prove that she was not a royal shame but a royal savior.
The mountains and rivers of Miaoguo are broken, the people are hungry, and they only hear mourning all over the way back to the capital. Xiao Qi stepped into the Red Wall Palace with extremely complicated emotions, and she didn't know that there were two other people who followed her into the palace. One is the prodigal son who is not worried about her going into the tiger's den alone, and the other is the Holy Father who finally finds her whereabouts.
The prosperous capital of the past has become a ruin, and the palace with carved railings has really become a prison. It is impossible for Xiao Qi to secretly save many relatives, she just came to ask to see the general who was detaining the captive, and wanted to kidnap him and let him release his father and older siblings.
The general didn't panic at all after being kidnapped, he said that he would rather die than let go, but let Xiao Qi not have to kill him to vent his anger, he had something to tell Xiao Qi.
The general's message was that as long as Xiao Qi went to see the new emperor, not only could he save the lives of his relatives, but the new emperor could also give her relatives official titles.
After getting this news, Xiao Qi quickly went to the big tent on the outskirts of Beijing. The new emperor is the former imperial uncle, he wants to burn down the former capital and the palace, and build a new capital and new palace next to the old site, which is to temporarily live in the big tent.
"Uncle Huang, are you okay?"
When she saw him, she smiled, and when she greeted him, she no longer had the cowardice she had at the beginning.
"Good, good. You're here, and it's better than good. ”
The two of them, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, were not embarrassed by a slight rustiness, and the imperial uncle smiled evilly and embraced her.
The emperor had not yet officially ascended the throne, but his vassals had already regarded him as an immutable new monarch, and they discouraged him from having anything to do with her.
They are not uncles and nephews, but they are also related by blood if they are far apart, how can they do things that are contrary to the norm if they want to truly achieve hegemony and sit firmly on the dragon chair?
Xiao Qi's father and sisters were released and placed under house arrest in the mansion, although the situation was not as good as before, but it was better than being abused and tortured every day.
Her brothers were still not released, because the old monarch was old and frail and it was difficult to make big waves, so it didn't matter if he was a little more lenient. The old princes are in the prime of life, and if they get the opportunity, they may make a comeback.
's father begged Xiao Qi that no matter how he wanted to save another brother, the roots of the royal family could not be broken.
She promised her father, and she used all kinds of rhetoric to coax Uncle Huang, but Uncle Huang was not fooled. Uncle Huang knew her intentions, and he said that as long as she did one thing, he could exile her smartest and most capable second brother to the desert to fend for himself.
As long as she can be free, even if she is in the desert, with her second brother's intelligence, she can at least divide one side, and she can agree to any conditions without thinking about it.
That condition is: let Xiao Qi say in front of the Holy Father that she only loves Uncle Huang, and obeying the Holy Father is just helping Uncle Huang contain neighboring countries. The neighboring country is very powerful, and the imperial uncle needs the Holy Father, who is the former crown prince of the neighboring country, to help him restore the country.
Xiao Qi didn't think how difficult this condition was, but he only wondered if the Holy Father's whereabouts were uncertain, where to find him?
Uncle Huang sneered, he easily found the Holy Father. He also told Xiao Qi that the Holy Father had been looking for her everywhere after he left the customs, but everyone else hid the news of Xiao Qi's return to the palace.
By the time the Holy Father had tried every possible means to find out her whereabouts and prepare to take her out of the palace, she had already left the palace with the Assassins. The Holy Father pursued all the way, and when she found the mountain hut, she and the prodigal son went away.
Knowing that she wanted to save her relatives, the Holy Father wanted to help her secretly, but his own brother noticed it. The younger brother of the Holy Father, called the middle father, was the one who helped the imperial uncle to restore the country, and the imperial uncle promised to make the country dependent on the middle father after ascending the throne. The middle father easily raised a puppet emperor, how could he watch his brother destroy his achievements?
The middle father's wishful thinking played well, and after the imperial uncle restrained the Holy Father, and the Holy Father was disheartened, his position as the prince of the neighboring country would no longer be threatened. After the imperial uncle achieves his goal, he will also be able to better control the imperial uncle, and then control the Miao Kingdom.
On that day, Xiao Qi's second brother was hung upside down on a high wooden stake, and the pile was full of vertical knives. Uncle Huang put his arm around Xiao Qi and pointed at her second brother and said a lot of humiliating things about her family.
She didn't refute, just fell silent with tears. Uncle Huang said that he likes to see her being wronged the most, and bullying tearful beauties is the most interesting.
When she learned that the Father had never given up on her, she hoped that he would not come. She had always buried the Holy Father in the deepest part of her heart, but once she could not bury it, he would take possession of her entire heart. But now, how does she face him?
The Holy Father still came after all, Xiao Qi's eyes were hazy with tears, and he couldn't see his appearance at this time clearly. She looked at her second brother, who was in danger, and said many heartless words to the Holy Father like a puppet.
Her body remains, but her soul is shattered to powder. She said to herself: Wrong, wrong, wrong! Then it will always be wrong to the end, if this can make the Holy Father resent me, dislike me, and forget me, then it can be regarded as Xiao Qi's atonement.
No one understands her remorse and pain, and those onlookers have nothing but contempt for her. Soon, she herself had no regrets and no more pain, because what happened next made her heart numb!
A terrible scream pierced the sky, and the onlookers were stunned! It was Uncle Huang's subordinate who threw a flying knife to cut the hemp rope on the high wooden stake, and her second brother fell straight down and fell on top of the sharp knife!
In front of everyone's eyes, how could Uncle Huang be so discredited? A trace of surprise and anger flashed in the emperor's eyes, but it quickly dissipated. He was calculated, he didn't order the killing, but it was so far, and it was useless to argue.
The holy father, who looked like ashes, left gloomily, and Xiao Qimu ran returned to the big tent with the emperor's uncle. Her second brother died, and she didn't want to please Uncle Huang anymore. She didn't force a smile, and Uncle Huang no longer took pleasure in seeing her sorrow and sorrow as he used to.
After three months like a backwater, a simple palace was built next to the old capital, although it was not as solemn and magnificent as the imperial palace, this palace was also better than the big tent, and the imperial uncle moved into the palace.
On the first night when the imperial uncle moved into the palace, because various affairs had not been arranged, the imperial kitchen caught fire. When the guards panicked to put out the fire, the assassins broke into the inner hall and assassinated the emperor's uncle!
The Assassin was the Assassin who had lived with Xiao Qi, and he had returned from hunting and had disappeared from her, and had searched everywhere to no avail.
On the day that the emperor's uncle deliberately humiliated her and her second brother died tragically, the assassins finally learned about her. He lurked into the army and became a guard, just to assassinate the emperor's uncle and take Xiao Qi away.
Uncle Huang was wounded but not killed, many guards poured in, and the assassins fled to Xiao Qi's residence, wanting to take advantage of the chaos to take her away.
She refused to flee, she had come from the net, so why should she run away again? She diverted the searching guards and helped the Assassins escape.
In a hurry, it was another three years, and during these three years, the Holy Father only cared about helping his younger brother and middle father to fight in the east and west, as if the whole person had turned into a sharp blade.
Uncle Huang's new palace has been built, and he is looking for joy every day, staring at Xiao Qi's door every night but not entering the house.
The prodigal son became a prison official, secretly taking care of Xiao Qi's relatives, and also secretly helping Xiao Qi to cultivate.
The Assassins lived in the rivers and lakes and made a living by killing people. He doesn't care what the reason for his employer is to buy the murderer, no matter whether the person he kills is good or evil, he only accepts money and wine......
The iron hooves of the neighboring countries crushed the dream shadow of the Miao country, and the wolf smoke of the Miao country, which had only regained its vitality, was everywhere, and the Miao country was destroyed! Not a change of dynasty, but a complete demise!
Along with the destruction of the Miao Kingdom, there were several other small countries, and the neighbors of these countries were no longer "neighbors", and there was only one Dream Empire in the Cloud Desolate Land!
The middle father had dreamed of being the founding emperor of the Dream Empire countless times, but the civil and military generals supported the Holy Father as the emperor, and seeing that his brother was expected by everyone, the middle father had to secretly suppress the desire for power.
However, the Holy Father did not claim the title of emperor, and he went to Mengze to live in seclusion. He left a book on the dragon chair and asked his father to treat the annexed small country equally and treat all the people of Li with kindness.
The middle father tried his best to make himself like a good emperor, strict with officials and lenient with the people. He also gave preferential treatment to the old royal family members who had died in the country, and accepted their sisters or daughters into the harem to stabilize the public hearts of all the people who had died in the country.
The strength of the Dream Empire does not mean that the middle father is strong, he is timid in his heart, and he is always afraid that someone will assassinate him, especially afraid that the Holy Father will kick him down from the emperor's throne one day when he is in seclusion.
There are many middle fathers and concubines, but whether he spoils other women or not, he has to sleep with Xiao Qi. He didn't love Xiao Qi, he knew that the Holy Father would be embarrassed to see them sleeping together, and he knew that the Holy Father would not kill Xiao Qi, he fell asleep with a living shield.
Xiao Qi, who was scolded by the people and hated by the concubine, lived only to take revenge, she had awakened the blood of Tianfeng and was about to take revenge with the help of the prodigal son.
She actually couldn't tell who her enemy was, but the prodigal son said that the middle father was the worst, so he took revenge on the middle father. She just wants to use blood to make up for the past, and it doesn't matter who she kills.
The moon is full in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the monarchs and ministers of the Dream Empire gather together to toast and celebrate.
The favorite concubine Xiaoqi invited herself to dance a song to cheer up, and the middle father readily agreed. She danced gracefully, and she lost her trace in the whirlwind......
I didn't see Xiao Qi's figure, but I saw the fiery red phoenix shadow falling from the sky!
"Tianfeng ......," many people exclaimed.
Tianfeng's eyes were cold, and fire erupted from his beak and burned towards his middle father. The blazing flames frightened the middle father's face pale, but someone blocked the flames for him.
"Spare his life!" The Holy Father protected the middle father, with a long body and a jade body, and his eyes were indifferent.
"Can't spare him!" Uncle Huang rushed out, and his appearance surprised everyone.
They thought that the emperor had gone crazy after the death of the country, and he slept in feces and urine all day long, eating dirt. It turned out that he was just pretending to be crazy, and he said something even more shocking.
Uncle Huang said that he was not Xiao Qi's "Uncle Huang", because Xiao Qi was not the monarch's biological daughter, but the orphan of Tianfeng, the protector of the cloud wilderness. The unification of the cloud wilderness is the general trend, and Xiao Qi, who has the blood of the heavenly phoenix, will of course have his fate fluctuate with the changes in the division and chaos of the cloud wilderness.
Only the Imperial Uncle and the Holy Father understood the secret, so at the beginning they wanted to control Xiao Qi, and control the fate of Yun Huang by controlling Xiao Qi's fate. However, the Holy Father was unwilling to do so later, so he had a disagreement with the imperial uncle, so the imperial uncle used a trick to force Xiao Qi to return to the palace......
Is it possible to live in deception from the day you are born? Xiao Qi didn't want to listen to it anymore, she only had a hellfire-like resentment burning in her heart, she just wanted to destroy!
