Chapter 123: Confrontation

Baili Mingyu led the civil and military officials to stand under the city tower and looked at Xia Lie who came from afar, and closed his mouth happily, finally about to see this young pillar of the country, and he will be his most powerful shield in the future.

Xia Lie didn't like his original name in the first place, and the reason for changing his name was because he didn't want others to laugh at him by relying on his family connections, and because he wanted to surprise her and let her see that he was also a good son who could make a name for himself without relying on his family.

It was getting closer and closer, Xia Lie's heart was beating rapidly, and he had never been so nervous as he was when he went to the battlefield.

He looked at the people around him with expectant eyes, and after carefully discerning and feeling that there was no her inside, his eyes full of anticipation suddenly became no longer bright.

Finally arrived at the bottom of the city tower, he dismounted and knelt down on one knee: "Long live the Five Emperors, long live, long live!" ”

"Flatten, Xia Aiqing. I didn't expect you to be so young, you are really young and promising, and I am deeply gratified that there is such a talent in Wule Country. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." When Xia Lie stood up, his eyes collided with Xia Zhan, Xia Zhan took a step back suddenly, when did this little rabbit cub change his name!

"Father, are you alright?" Xia Lie rushed up to support Xia Zhan with an arrow step, and then knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The child is not filial, he has not come back to visit his father for so many years, and he asks his father to forgive his sins!" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar all over the court, this young general was actually the son of Xia Zhan, and sure enough, the Xia family was the tiger general.

The most shocking thing was Baili Mingyu, the general he had been waiting for for so long was actually from the Xia family.

"Xia Aiqing, what's going on? Don't you want to explain it to me? ”

Xia Lie got up and said with a face full of apologies: "Back to the emperor, the minister concealed his identity because he was afraid that others would think that they looked down on me because the minister was the son of Xia Houye, and in one was afraid that they would give me convenience because of this identity, the minister just wanted to prove himself with his own strength, and asked the emperor to forgive him!" ”

"Good! Be ambitious! "Baili Mingyu had to ignore the past in order to win over this young and promising general, and now what he needs by his side is fresh blood, those old ministers have their own hearts, and the kung fu of seeing the wind and making the rudder is not ordinarily high, how can they be so heartily loyal to themselves.

Xia Zhan thought that Baili Mingyu would be angry, but he didn't expect his attitude to be unexpected, so he hurriedly kicked Xia Lie's ass and said: "Stinky boy, don't hurry up and thank the emperor, the emperor's bearing is really admired by the old minister." ”

The happiest person is Nalan Lingyu, he stood among the ministers and looked at Xia Lie carefully, no wonder the combat techniques he used on the battlefield were similar to those in the Xia family's art of war, it turned out that they had all been changed by this kid, and he was really a talent.

Hu Wei was a little embarrassed when he stood aside, and now this hairy young man has become the son of the old man Xia Zhan for no reason, this can't be killed, even if he can kill it, he can't kill it, he can't do it with his own strength.

He looked at Nalan Lingyu with blank eyes, it seems that this weak scholar is still needed to come forward at a critical moment.

Nalan Lingyu smiled dumbly when she saw Hu Wei's expression, it turned out that there were times when General Hu was in trouble, it was really funny.

Xia Lie still couldn't help but want to ask where Xia Qianxin was, when he was in the frontier, he heard that the eldest sister married into the palace, if it wasn't for the eldest sister, he wouldn't have chosen the path of joining the army.

What he remembered most clearly was that she was standing in the courtyard full of pear blossoms, and she pointed her sword at him and said: "A good man is determined to live in all directions, not in a corner, and the way out of his own ability is awe-inspiring." ”

Until now, he remembers her appearance clearly, and it was she who lit a guiding light for his confused life.

"Dad, why didn't the eldest sister come? And what about the second sister? ”

Xia Lie didn't like his mother since he was a child, and in his memory, his mother was a person who was picky, and he didn't care about his feelings at all, and used him just as a tool to compete for favor.

Although the second sister is the sister of a mother's sibling, she has not been very close to him since she was a child, but she is the eldest sister, don't look at her usual clothes, the strange gadgets in his hands are all given by her.

Xia Lie has known since he was a child that the eldest sister is a good person with a cold face and a warm heart, and she looks indifferent to protect herself, so he likes this eldest sister very much.

The reason why he did this was to show his eldest sister his achievements one day, so that she could see what she had become, and she could also become the pillar of the family, but she never thought that she would become a queen.

"Stinky boy go home first, let's talk about it, I still have the heart to think about your eldest sister and second sister, seeing that you don't break your dog's leg when you go home, you dare to lie to Lao Tzu!"

Xia Zhan glared at Xia Lie fiercely and was ready to take him home, and there was a grand banquet in the evening, and that was when Baili Mingyu really began to be rewarded.

In fact, Xia Zhan's heart was not to mention how proud he was, he watched his son grow into an appearance that he had never imagined, and felt that the ancestor of the Xia family was really eye-opening.

He doesn't even care about the name he changed privately, isn't it just a name change, as long as the surname is Xia.

"Dad, do you mean that the second sister is home?" After this understanding, Xia Lie understood the rights and wrongs in the middle.

It turned out that the two sisters were married into the palace, and each of them was not happy, and not all women's final belongings were in that golden wire cage.

"Dad, didn't the eldest sister give birth to the emperor's child, why didn't she have a better life?"

Xia Zhan listened to his question, sighed deeply and said: "You will know when you go to Nalan Mansion, it is useless for Dad to talk too much, there are some things that you have to feel for yourself." ”

Xia Lie couldn't wait for a minute, he didn't see Xia Lingcheng's face and went to Nalan Mansion directly, according to his father's words, the eldest sister had already made a private agreement with Nalan Lingyu for life before entering the palace, he wanted to see what kind of person this Nalan Lingyu was that could make a strong woman like the eldest sister unforgettable.

Nalan Lingyu had just returned to the mansion thinking about how to go to the Xia Mansion to meet him, so he had further dealings with Xia Lie, but he didn't expect Xia Lie to send it to the door himself.

"Master, there is a person who calls himself Xia Lie outside the door and asks to see him."

Xia Lie? How did he get here?

"Why don't you invite him in." Nalan Lingyu got up and went to make tea in person and waited for Xia Lie, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Lord Nalan, you don't need to introduce yourself in Xia Lie, compared to Lord Nalan, you can already see it clearly under the city tower today."

Before people came in, a large smell of * came in, it seems that this Xia Lie is not good.

"Captain Xia can deter one side at a young age, which is really admirable, but I don't know what to call when I see Captain Xia coming in such a hurry?"

Nalan Lingyu still looked light-hearted, he sat on the chair and poured a cup of tea for Xia Lie with elegant movements, and suddenly the fragrance of tea filled the whole room.

Xia Lie praised him in his heart, it is really a good tea art, his movements are elegant and he is not flustered, and he is not a layman when he is not alarmed.

"Sit down, just talk about something slowly, don't rush." Nalan Lingyu guessed a little bit what he meant, and it seemed that it was because of the tilt.

"Okay, since everyone is a cheerful person, I'll just talk about it. Are you still disconnected from my eldest sister? ”

"So what?"

"Then do you know that as the mother of a country, doing such a thing is a great crime to destroy the nine clans?"

"What if you know?"

"Then why don't you give up? My eldest sister is very happy in the palace, and you are not worthy of such a beautiful woman as a courtier. ”

Xia Lie went straight to the point, he felt that since the eldest sister had married into the palace as the queen, and gave birth to a baby and was still a prince, he had to protect their mother and son no matter what he said, and the future world could only be his own nephew.

"This anger is difficult to obey, and I can't do without her, and I can't do without her."

"Shame on you! Didn't you already take the princess as your wife, why didn't you give it up! ”

Xia Lie was a little annoyed, this man looked like a Da Luo Jin Immortal, and even his temperament gave people a feeling of fluttering immortals, how could he say something so speechless.

"Because Baili's surname is Nalan, his name is Nalan Yi." Nalan Lingyu put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at Xia Lie standing in the center of the room with a smile.

Xia Lie looked at his little face and felt that his consciousness was in a trance for a moment, this man was so good-looking, even he could look at himself as a pure man.

But the sentence he lost just now is the point, what does it mean that Baili is not surnamed Baili surnamed Nalan, could it be that the child is theirs?

"You mean my nephew, your son? You..."Xia Lie couldn't say it anymore, no wonder Daddy sighed when he mentioned it.

If this matter is known by Baili Mingyu, it is not a question of whether he will die or not, I am afraid that even if he dies, he will dig them out of the grave and whip them again.

"Why did you tell me? Aren't you afraid that I'll tell you? ”

"You don't, you can tell from your eyes how respectful and deferential you are." Nalan Lingyu picked up the teacup and took another sip of tea, he could tell the man's character from his face.

"I'm really convinced! So you're going to plan to go on like this for the rest of your life?"

Xia Lie felt that he couldn't pretend anymore, so he sat on the chair and poured a sip of tea, and now he was still in the mood to drink tea, which was really calm.

"Tea is for tasting, don't drink it like this, it will spoil the tea." Nalan Lingyu still looked at Xia Lie with that expression, like a master who didn't ask about ordinary things.

"You still have the heart to tell me that! I'm asking you, are you going to do it for the rest of your life? The child has someone else's surname, and you are willing? ”

"Or else? What else can I do? Nalan Lingyu was testing Xia Lie, and he said this to see what kind of person Xia Lie was.

"What to do? You won't work hard to replace it, what a proud woman my eldest sister is, how can she endure such a deep palace loneliness. ”

Xia Lie leaned on Nalan Lingyu's ear and whispered, this matter is the way to get a good result.
