"yes." Qin Yining said funny, "What kind of popularity is Tianjizi, a good-tempered person like Mu Gongzi has been invisibly offended." ”

Xiao Xiao also found it very interesting, "I think it doesn't matter if she is shut up or not, if she wants to leave, there are many ways to get out." When the time comes, there will be no delay as usual, and when we go back, those who can be trusted will be taken away, and there will not be so many superfluous manpower to guard her. ”

Qin Yining also thought so, and said with a smile: "Actually, I think Tianjizi won't make trouble anymore, and letting Mu Gongzi protect you is actually exactly what she wants to see." ”

I didn't care about it at first, it was just because Tianjizi wanted her to die.

Now that Xiao Xiao is forced to gradually embark on the "right path", Tianjizi has relieved a large part of his heart disease, and I am afraid that he will not be as careful as before.

Qin Yining's meaning naturally understood, he sighed, and touched Qin Yining's head with his big hand, "Let's get ready these days." Let's try to get off as quickly as possible. ”

"Hmm. Actually, I have one more thing I want to tell you. ”

Seeing Qin Yining's serious expression, Xiao Xiao asked strangely, "What's the matter, you say." ”

Qin Yining hesitated, finally called Lian Xiaocongee over, and ordered Bingtang and Jiyun: "You guys are guarding outside, don't let anyone approach." ”

Seeing that Qin Yining was so solemn, Xiao Xiao immediately straightened his sitting posture.

Seeing this scene, Bingtang and Jiyun were really a little worried, for fear that even Xiao Congee would cause some trouble. Bingtang has some premonitions in her heart, although she doesn't know exactly about Lian Xiao Congee, but after getting along for so long, she is very concerned about Lian Xiao Congee, so she can always find some clues.

But the master has his own measure, and it is not their turn to speak.

Jiyun and rock candy went out to guard.

Qin Yining pulled Lian Xiao Congee down and came closer.

Four years have passed, even Xiao Congee is no longer the malnourished appearance at the beginning, she is already a thirteen-year-old girl, slim and elegant, wearing a green armor, which is a light pink cotton jacket, her hair is combed, wearing pink and white beaded flowers, delicate and beautiful like peach blossoms blooming in spring.

Even Xiao Congee has been by Qin Yining's side for so many years, and his speech has long been neat, seeing that Xiao Xiao's expression is very serious, he pulled Qin Yining's sleeve with some trepidation, "Sister......"

When she first came, she dared to argue with the "uncle" in front of her, but after a long time, she was still afraid......

Qin Yining said: "I'm sorry, Zhixi, I've been hiding one thing from you. ”

Xiao Xiao looked at Lian Xiao Congee in disbelief.

Qin Yining also looked at Lian Xiao Congee, took her hand, and whispered to Xiao Xiao: "When Dayan perished, my father moved to the capital of Great Zhou with his family, and when he passed through the border Liangcheng, the team was intercepted and killed by Ji Lan's men and horses, and I was forced to flee into the mountains in order to escape for my life, and I met Xiao Congee. ”

"Yes, you told me that you almost froze to death on the mountain that day, and it was Xiao Congee who saved you. Her father is gone, and she can't survive in the mountains as a ten-year-old child, so you take her down and raise her like a sister. ”

Qin Yining nodded, "Yes, that's what I said to you and my father at that time. But actually, I deceived you in this matter. Lian Xiao Congee is actually not surnamed Lian, her name should be reversed, her surname is Zhou, and the small character Xiaolian is Xiaolian. She is not fourteen years old this year, but thirteen. ”

Xiao Xiao was stunned: "Zhou Xiaolian, her surname is Zhou?" ”

"Yes. Her father, the cousin Wei Xian, and her title is Yongfu. ”

Xiao Xiao was shocked: "You mean, she is actually the Yongfu princess of the Northern Ji Kingdom?" ”

"Yes." Qin Yining nodded.

Xiao Xiao was a little incredulous for a while: "You, what's going on?" Why haven't you told me? ”

Qin Yining hugged Lian Xiaocongee, patted her slightly trembling hand comfortingly, and said softly: "When the Northern Hebei Kingdom was not yet dead, the last emperor saw that the situation was not good, and the emperor only cared for the young Princess Yongfu, so he sent a letter to General Liu Jinxuan, asking General Liu to take the princess away.

General Liu took the five-year-old Princess Yongfu out of the capital and lived in seclusion in the mountains, but they were hunted down and killed, and General Liu died not long after to divert the pursuers.

"Princess Yongfu was only five years old, and she survived alone in the mountains without knowing how difficult it was, and she lived alone until she was nine years old until she met me. Because she was young when she left the palace, her memory was blurred, and she hadn't seen anyone for more than four years, and when I met her, she couldn't even speak, like a little savage. ”

Qin Yining hugged Lian Xiaocongee, her face was sad: "When I saw her, I thought of myself." I know that Beiji Dujun has done a lot of evil, and his dynasty is not unjust, but Princess Yongfu is so young, she has not done anything evil, and even she was implicated by her father, and she suffered so much at a young age.

"I thought at the time, your father, General Xiao, died because of the fainting monarch of the Northern Ji Kingdom, and the Northern Hebei Kingdom was also destroyed by you, and you and Xiao Congee have a grudge against your father. Even if she's a child, I'm afraid you'll ......"

"You're afraid I'll kill her, so you've been hiding it from me?" The voice of the owl was gentle.

Qin Yining nodded, "Xiao Congee has followed me all these years, and I have been teaching her to know this country and today." She gradually grew up, learned to read and write, learned pharmacology and medicine with rock candy, and also distinguished right from wrong. So even though she has the blood of the Zhou family in her body, she is really two people who are completely different from Beiji Dujun. ”

Xiao Xiao nodded, didn't say anything, and asked again: "Then why did you tell me now?" Why do you mention the revenge of killing your father in front of you, you are not afraid that I will kill her because I am afraid of her? ”

"Because you are my husband, we have lived for so many years, I know you. If you talk about the revenge of killing your father, didn't my father use a discordant strategy against Xiao Zhongzheng and Beiji Dujun? It is precisely because of the discord plan that the Northern Ji Kingdom will seize the opportunity to make a black hand against the Xiao family.

"But now, you have been very kind to me, and you have never hated my father. You know very well what is right and wrong, in fact, I care about it, and I have been hesitant not to tell you, when I was a child, you once came to see me, when you were fifteen or sixteen years old, you were already able to distinguish between right and wrong, knowing that I was innocent, and now that you are not confused, you can naturally tell whether the porridge is innocent. ”

Xiao Xiao smiled, "But she is Princess Yongfu." I can tell if she is innocent or not, doesn't she hate me for destroying Beiji? ”

Lian Xiaocongee first subconsciously shrunk her neck at the sharp gaze of Shang Xiaoxiao, but she immediately straightened up and stubbornly blocked Qin Yining with her neck.

"Don't say that about my sister, my sister is a good person! I followed my sister and also learned how to be a good person. I know that many of the things my father did were wrong, and my sister taught me the truth that prosperity must decline, and also taught me the change of dynasties in history.

"The Great Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Northern Hebei because my father and the emperor worked hard and lost their wealth and killed the loyal and good, and the Northern Hebei Kingdom would only die when the qi was exhausted. You are the one who led the troops to fight, but you are for the people to live a good life, and you are not a bad person.

"My father was very good to me, but he was too bad to the people of the world. Although I remember that you are the one who destroyed Beiji, I have never treated you as an enemy, not only because I understand the truth and you have done nothing wrong, but also because your sister's husband, my sister likes you very much, so you are definitely not a bad person.

"My sister hid it from you in order to protect me, and she has been teaching me the truth, and I won't harm you, so you are not allowed to be so fierce to your sister!"

Even the small porridge had a clear voice, the jade was like a gradual pearl, and he poured a cart of walnuts and said everything he thought in his heart.

Xiao Xiao couldn't cry or laugh when he listened, is he an unreasonable image in the eyes of this little girl?

However, the sentence she said, "My sister likes you, so you must not be a bad person" really made him feel comfortable.

It's just that he had the intention to tease Qin Yining, and deliberately just smiled and said nothing.

A smile is sometimes more intimidating than words, and when a person speaks, he or she can judge the mood by the tone and content. But when people don't say a word, the consequences of just thinking about them will be terrifying.

Even the hairs on Xiao Porridge's back stood up, and the braided teeth bit his lower lip, and his whole body was tense with nervousness.

Qin Yining is no one else in the end, she knows too much about Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao's expression changed, she knew that he didn't go to her heart, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart, and at the same time, she cherished and moved Xiao Xiao's open-mindedness.

Seeing that this person still had the mind to tease, he took Lian Xiaocongee's hand and asked her to stand in front of him, glanced at him, and comforted: "Don't pay attention to him, your brother-in-law is like that, no matter how serious he is sooner or later, he is not angry." ”

Lian Xiaobei looked back at Xiao Xiao's fierce face, and was very skeptical of Qin Yining's judgment.

"Sister, otherwise, you can send me away, so as not to be suspected in front of me."

Xiao Xiao laughed angrily, "What do you suspect?" ”

Lian Xiao Congee said: "Of course, I suspect that I have the heart to avenge my father." ”

Xiao Xiao pointed to his heart, "I'll just sit here and let you take revenge, you see if you can kill me." ”

Even Xiao Congee's face turned pale with fright, but he said stubbornly: "I made it clear just now, how can you not understand what people say." I didn't want to take revenge, history is the trend of the times, and my sister taught me so much just to make my life better. Can I kill you now, can I live on my own? ”

"It's like you can kill me." Xiao Xiao laughed.

"You! Bad guys, bad uncles! Even Xiao Congee glared.

Qin Yining saw that the topic of these two people was crooked, and shook his head funny, and his initial apprehension was also dissipated by this teasing.

Xiao Xiao was called uncle, remembering that he was not confused, Qin Yining had only turned the New Year for two years, and he was already a little rough in the wind and rain on the battlefield, but he was really a lot older than Qin Yining, compared with Lian Xiao Congee, he was more like an uncle, and couldn't help but snort, not wanting to pay attention to her anymore.

Seeing this, Qin Yining smiled and said, "Okay, I'm telling you this in order to tell you a secret." When we get back to Beijing, I want to take a different trip to the same mountain. ”
