Forty years ago, after the king returned to seclusion, in order to recuperate with the people, in fact, he was jealous of the mutiny of the three armies to help the king of Dingwang force the palace, Gaozu killed many generals on the grounds of not starting the war, and successively disarmed 100,000 elite soldiers and returned home.

A few years later, Gaozu discovered that most of the elite soldiers who were disarmed were not recorded in the county and township military registers.

Angry and shocked, it is conceivable that after careful investigation, it is found that not only are the soldiers missing, but most of the generals who returned to their hometowns and returned to their hometowns under the accounts of King Ding and King Jing were also nowhere to be found.

Is there anything more bizarre than the fact that the general and the soldier disappeared at the same time, and the vast land could not find their place to stay? A little thought about it can lead to a sensational conclusion: someone has secretly hidden an army, is they trying to secretly rebel?

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for two generations of emperors to be jealous of the Jiang family. Because you are afraid, you should be on guard. They have been waiting, waiting for the Jiang family to renew their old grudges, and one day rush out to take him and meet the royal soldiers.

However, they were quiet for forty years, and they really never entered the world again.

Such a low-key makes people feel ironic, one side is waiting for the day, and the other side is in a hurry, and the other side is quiet and hidden. This is really a great mockery for the royal family with a ghost in his heart.

If it weren't for the last time the eldest princess of Wangjing visited Muyi Villa, she didn't know that after the decision of the warriors thirty years ago, General Kong Wu, who resigned and left, had been in Ruian City. Back then, Gaozu had sent people to track him to the southwest, but the obstacles were too great, and the mountains and mountains were full of moats and abysses, and he was never to be found again. How did he know that he had already turned around and returned to Ryan City, and he had been hiding for decades.

Emperor Qingli leaned back on the dragon chair, closed his eyes and thought, and listened to all the news that King Fuling had recently discovered. The whole world is under his control, and he enjoys the pleasure of being the Ninth Five-Year Honor.

King Fuling stood for a long time: "If my father has no other orders, my son will retire." ”

"You're doing a great job." This is the praise of the king's minister, "Your aunt and grandmother told me that you are not young and it is time to marry a concubine." Do you have someone you like? This is the Father's concern for the Son.

King Fuling bowed his head and obeyed respectfully: "It's all up to my father and the emperor to decide." ”

"Your aunt and grandmother have mentioned someone, and I want to ask you what you mean."

"Erchen didn't mean anything else." He can't make his own decisions about his marriage.

"Really? Who you don't want to know? "Emperor Qingli didn't believe him.

"It's all up to my father."

"You are filial. I ask you, what do you think of the one in Muyi Villa? ”

The king of Fuling raised his head in an uproar, and it was difficult to hide his earnestness, although he was looking forward to it, he still felt incredible.

His reaction so strongly startled Emperor Qingli. The latter was a little distressed, and sighed, "If you have your eye on that one, I will not stop you." But the king of Qi also came to ask for marriage today......"

"Why do people ask for marriage?"

"Who else? Prince of Qi! The king of Qi begged me to marry Xiao Zhaoxian and gave Jiang Qi to him as a concubine. ”

"To be a concubine?" King Fuling thought he had misheard.

Emperor Qingli was a little upset: "King Qi is indeed courageous, he came to intervene with a tiger's eye, and dared to humiliate her like this!" I see that he is dreaming too much, don't say that he is a concubine, he is presented as a concubine with both hands, and no one may be able to look at it, so he is looking for me to find this kind of trouble. Okay, that's the end of today, you have to think about this matter clearly, I will think about it again, and step back. ”

After King Fuling came out of the Forbidden Palace, he didn't stop for a moment and ordered his servants to drive to the place where Xiao Zhaoxian was.

is different from what he saw last time, Xiao Zhaoxian did not get drunk this time, hugged incense and bought drunk, but wore Qi Pei and dressed up.

"You're here." His face was handsome, as if he had first seen him when he was young.

"You've been waiting for a long time." The king of Fuling was courteous and sat in his clothes.

Back then, two teenagers who were also frustrated and disliked by their fathers got acquainted with sorrow, admired each other, comforted each other, cherished each other, and were friends for many years.

In the heart of King Fuling, Xiao Zhaoxian's benevolence, righteousness and sincerity are far better than his brother, so he went to Ruian alone as a hostage.

In Xiao Zhaoxian's eyes, the King of Fuling was outstanding and not inferior to the King of Liyang, but he was banished from the palace because his maternal uncle's family was destroyed. If they can all be loved by their fathers and can turn over and take power, they will definitely become a generation of heroes.

"Your father has asked His Majesty to marry Jiang Qi and be your concubine." He got straight to the point, and there was a disdain for the king between his lips and teeth.

"If they have to, sooner or later they will be dead. Alas! Xiao Zhaoxian sighed and bitterly, "This morning, I had a big quarrel with them, but I still couldn't dispel my father's thoughts. Jiang Qi endured it for the first time, endured it for the second time, and the third time, she wouldn't endure it again. ”

"How are you doing?"

He shook his head and sighed: "Don't worry, no matter what, I will fight with my father to the end, and I won't do anything with Jiang Qi." "Neither can it be.

The king of Fuling settled down, and Xiao Zhaoxian in front of him was gloomy and haggard, and he didn't see the suave and graceful people who used to sing and sing, his heart was too heavy.

"Tell me about your sister Yuqi'er?"

Xiao Zhaoxian was silent, lowering his head and not knowing what he was thinking.

King Fuling explained: "Last night you were drunk, and said that King Qi made four jade carvings with a piece of family heirloom jade, and it was a jade unicorn for your sister Xiao Yuqi, and I want to hear her story." ”

Xiao Zhaoxian was in a trance, laughing weakly, and muttered to himself: "Yuqi'er has been away from the Xiao family for a long time. When she was a child, she was a little beauty, my father favored her the most, she could step on her father's shoulder to pick plum blossoms, her father's black horse she wanted to ride, her father's sword she said she wanted to go......"

He said in a whisper, his eyes showing favor, such a intoxicating smile, King Fuling rarely saw it.

"She relied on her affection, yelled at me, the eldest son, and never took me seriously...... Hehe, I was the demon king of the mixed world when I was a child, but I met her as an opponent, and it was really a thing to a thing...... Even if she hated me again, I still wanted to play with her, she just ignored me, only liked my second brother, I told her that my second brother hated their mother and daughter, she didn't believe me, but kicked me. I said, 'We'll see,' and then ......"

"What happened next?"

Then she was gone. I've always missed her, I miss her so much, I want to go crazy, but I never see her again...... Have you ever experienced that when you see someone, you can never forget it and think about her all the time? ”

Xiao Zhaoxian's confused and painful eyes hit King Fuling's heart, and a forgotten memory was opened.

"I've met someone like that, but I still don't know who she is. At that time, I had just arrived at Eagle Eagle Mountain, and I only did some sweeping chores all day, and my master didn't teach me kung fu, and there was no one else on the mountain, and I missed my aunt and grandmother very much, so I hid in the back mountain and cried. Just as I was crying a handful of snot, I saw a little girl climb up from the cliff in the back mountain, her clothes were torn by stones, blood blisters were grinding out on her hands, and blood was flowing from the corners of her mouth. I was so scared that I forgot to cry and pointed at her and said, 'You're bleeding.'" She reached out and wiped it off, glared at me fiercely, scolded me, and said, 'What are you crying about!' Only a waste without ability will cry! I asked her, 'You have all injuries on your body, don't you hurt?' and she attacked me, 'It doesn't hurt, but it hurts.' Hehe......"

King Fuling couldn't help but laugh, laughing for the little girl who was as fierce as a little leopard in his memory.

Xiao Zhaoxian suddenly felt that the person he described was familiar: "Who is she?" ”

"I also want to know who she is, I've only seen her once. She said to me, 'Instead of crying here, you should run away'. She tied me to a rattan and took me down the cliff. As soon as I climbed a section, it started to rain. She took me into a cave in the cliff wall, where there was water and food, and she lit wood for me to make a fire. I asked her where she lived. She said she didn't have a home. After dark, it was windy and rainy outside, and it was very cold. I watched her huddle in the corner holding herself and shivering, her mouth kept bleeding and flowing, one moment she said it was cold, the other time she said it hurt, and she curled up in a ball and shouted 'Mother', 'Mother, don't go'. I cried and didn't know what to do. She scolded me, 'What's the use of crying, if there is a kind, let all the people who have bullied her kneel down and beg for mercy'. ”

Xiao Zhaoxian's eyes were quietly moist, he covered his eyes, and his palms were full of tears. Jade Qi'er, is this your past? How can I hurt you again!

"And then?" he asked. ”

Later, she rolled on the ground in pain, pounding and screaming, like a madman, very painful. I didn't dare come near her, she yelled at me to get out. I was scared, so I had to hide to the side, far away from her, and I didn't know why I fell asleep, and I heard her rolling in my dreams, and the voice of Master and Senior Brother calling me. When I woke up, I was already back to Master. I asked my brother what the little girl on the back mountain was, and the brother said that there was no one in the back mountain at all. I don't believe it, I'm going to find her in the back mountain. Master said that the back mountain is a forbidden place, and I am not allowed to go there, so as long as I go, he will send me down the mountain. I'm afraid that if I am really driven back, my father will dislike me even more. So, I never asked again, and I didn't go to the back mountain. To this day, I still feel like a dream, I don't know if I really met such a girl......"

Since the eldest princess of Shengjing and the king of Qi expressed their willingness to marry one after another, Emperor Qingli really thought about it carefully for some time. On the one hand, he hoped to have the opportunity to domesticate Jiang Qi, and even let her learn to lower his eyebrows and be pleasing to his eyes in front of him, so he naturalized her into a great power person through the matter of marriage, so as to make her recognize her imperial power. But on the other hand, he vaguely knew that this woman was very arrogant, and she was probably not convinced by anyone except for the hidden national teacher.

Therefore, he struggled and struggled, but still didn't come up with a good way, so he sent Zhang Dajian to summon Jiushu into the palace. When it comes to Jiang Qi, he has always been jealous, so it's better to ask about the Nine Techniques.

Since the last time King Fuling visited Jiushu and spoke out, these days, Jiushu has not entered Muyi Villa, but Jiang Qi's actions are under his control. Therefore, when Emperor Qingli conveyed his entanglement to Jiushu and asked for his opinion, there was a blank on his calm face.

The key is not what kind of person is courting, but what kind of man Jiang Qi will like. For the first time, he began to think about the affairs of men and women like ordinary men.

He thought, if one day Jiang Qi really opened up to the affairs of men and women, what kind of person would she choose to be her husband? Is it the reckless prince of Beihu, or the domineering leader of the Blood Alliance, or the king of Fuling who suppresses his ambitions, or ......

He couldn't help but feel his heart swaying, even though the love between him and her didn't need to be measured by such a cheesy love.
