Chapter 52: The Old Man (Part II)

"Xiao Yuemu? You are...... It's you? Xiao Xian looked up and down suspiciously, and the corners of his mouth were raised: "But Emperor Lianghong ordered you to come, show off your might, and show me that the daughter of the servant was still a thousand times better than me?" How is it? To this day, you can know how to write the word 'transgression'? ”

Xiao Xianhui was wearing a jet-black narrow-sleeved cloth jacket, although the collar and cuffs were damaged, but compared with the people he saw along the way, he could already be called luxurious and comfortable. A pair of dark leather shoes on his feet, the edges have been worn, and the dry and cracked soil is adhered to all around, and it is clear at a glance that they are left over from years of labor.

This kind of appearance and clothing, not to mention the daughter of the servant in the palace, is the merchant farmer among the ordinary people, which is better than Xiao Xianhui's appearance.

"To the tenth emperor brother Hongfu, Yue Mu knows." I was neither humble nor arrogant, and glanced at Zong Zhengxu who was standing quietly on the side. He didn't make a trace, and nodded his head, and I knew that he had also understood Xiao Xianhui's suffering for many years, and he would use this as a breakthrough point to persuade Xiao Xianhui.

"It's just that Yue Mu thought that the Ten Emperor Brothers had misunderstood. Yue Mu has also not seen the emperor for several years, and this time he came not to receive the emperor's will, but because of the planning of the night Dahonglu and the king of Pingzhou Hu Ru outside the tent. ”

Frowning in surprise, Xiao Xian looked at Zong Zhengxu. Zong Zhengxu hugged his fists and saluted, and Xiao Xian said for a long time: "Pan Ye and Hu Ru? …… Do you want to take advantage of the Western Wilderness Plague to attack Lianghong? ”

What a great insight. I sighed in my heart, and Zong Zhengxu had already taken over the words: "Aside from that, Zong Zhengxu and King Hu Rupingzhou came here, mainly because Emperor Lingyue cared for His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince, and Fang came with Emperor Lingyue to ensure that His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince was in good health. ”

With a cold snort, Xiao Xianhui's eyes were sharp, and he looked at Huan Ke who opened the curtain and entered. After listening to his introduction of his identity and name, he looked around coldly and said indifferently: "There is no need to say more about fake kind words. In the past ten years, I have tasted the suffering of human feelings, and I know best how people are unpredictable, and they are as poisonous as snakes and scorpions. You just looked at my clothes," he looked at me, "and this is the clothes that Xihuang wore when he was about to die. I fought with the laborers until their heads were bleeding, and I took off his garment while his body was still warm. ”

Slightly surprised, Huan Ke quietly protected behind him, I looked straight at Xiao Xianhui, he looked at him with a comfortable appearance, and smiled sarcastically: "So it's a pity." You have thought about it with this garment, and you can't count it at all. If you want to judge my mind in this way, you can avoid it. ”

In the silence of the room, Xiao Xianhui looked away and said in a low and proud voice: "Therefore, the three of them did not come at the behest of Emperor Lianghong, so there is really no need to stay here. Having said that, even if Emperor Lianghong wanted, Xiao Xianhui would not easily obey. Thinking of having a fight with your brother and sister, I will not expose it to the officials of the Western Wilderness. Wait for you to leave quickly, don't talk about it again. ”

"His Royal Highness the Ten Princes is indeed the same temperament as Emperor Lingyue, with a pure heart and a childish heart, and he refuses to betray the country." Zong Zhengxu smiled calmly: "The similarities between brother and sister don't stop there, and the words of Emperor Lingyue who persuaded Emperor Lingyue that day are afraid that they also apply to His Highness." ”

He raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Xianhui without giving in: "His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince has forgotten, how did he come to the Western Wilderness?" But forget, how did Concubine Qian die unjustly? ”

"Bold!" Xiao Xian was angry and pulled out his self-defense sword and pointed it directly at Zong Zhengxu, and Huan Ke stretched out his arm to take me behind him.

"What is the cause of the death of the concubine, and what is the reason why this palace came here, both of them are the secret affairs of Lianghong Palace, how can you be allowed to be an outsider to talk about it wantonly?!"

Stabbing me sideways, Xiao Xian sneered: "Don't compare Your Highness with such a woman." The villain is difficult to raise, abandoning the mother country, and being embarrassed to do the plot of Cao She, but in order to seek glory and wealth, His Royal Highness understands very well! is a servant of the second husband, but it is really a good ability! ”

It was expected that Xiao Xianhui would not respond immediately, and Zong Zhengxu's words touched his scales, and it was not surprising that he would be incoherent in his words, but such difficult words were really unheard of so far.

I didn't feel how to humiliate, I opened my lips and wanted to speak, but Huan Ke took a step forward. He took out Zong Zhengxu's sword and threw it to Xiao Xianhui, and then calmly raised his hand to hold the empty trace, like a meteor, and deceived Xiao Xianhui.

In a hurry, even the question was choked in his throat, Xiao Xianhui reluctantly caught a sword, staggered a few steps back, and was caught off guard by another move.

Embarrassed to roll out of the range of the sword move, Xiao Xianhui turned sideways to dodge the empty sword blade, jumped up, couldn't bear to see the stitches, and took the initiative to collide with Huan Ke.

Avoiding it lightly, Huan Ke held the sword with one hand, and the tip of the sword pressed down on Xiao Xianhui's sword body, and quickly pulled a few sword flowers to transfer to the sword body, skillfully and lightly. Xiao Xianhui didn't hold it for a while, and the saber flew out of his hand and was caught by Zong Zhengxu steadily.

This is a dizzying success. In a few moments, the two of them stopped.

The empty trail has reached Xiao Xianhui's neck.

Huan Ke's expression was calm, and he said steadily: "If His Royal Highness the Ten Princes were not the Emperor Brother of Emperor Lingyue, he would be in a different place at this moment. When Huan Ke and Emperor Lingyue met in danger, they didn't know each other's details and could trust each other and tide over difficulties together. His Royal Highness the Ten Princes, as the elder brother of Emperor Lingyue, speculated arbitrarily without hearing the ins and outs, did not believe in Emperor Lingyue, and the other did not know right from wrong, and insulted Emperor Lingyue's reputation. ”

"Just this round of competition, His Royal Highness the Ten Princes should know that if we want to act, we don't have to go through a lot of trouble, and with the permission of His Royal Highness, we can choose one of the people with identity from the people in the Western Wilderness at will, and we can still succeed. If there is no Emperor Lingyue, does His Royal Highness the Ten Princes think that he can be safe and sound to this day? ”

Putting the sword into the sheath, Huan Ke walked back to my side, and looked at Xiao Xianhui coldly: "Just because of the grace of dripping water back then, Emperor Lingyue reciprocated with springs and made plans to protect the lives of His Royal Highness the Ten Princes." In Huan Ke's view, His Royal Highness the Ten Princes is not worthy of being as bold as Emperor Lingyue. ”

Stiffening his neck, Xiao Xianhui clenched his fists and said nothing. I stepped forward quietly, slightly blessed: "The mood of the Ten Emperor Brothers, Yue Mu empathizes. Since the Ten Emperor Brothers left Zhongshu, Yue Mu has had frequent accidents. The reason why he can stand here today with the great Honglu of the night and the king of Pingzhou of Hu Ru is because Yuemu and the ten emperor brothers were also abandoned by the emperor and went to the night as hostages. ”

He slowly moved his gaze to see, I greeted him honestly, and said sincerely: "Yue Mu admits that at the beginning, he wanted to overthrow Liang Hong at the invitation of the Great Hung of the Night, but at this time, it seems that he is really reckless. At that time, he was only forced to lose his calm by the truth of his mother's death and friend, and he only wanted to take revenge on Emperor Lianghong, even though he said not to hurt the people, but he really didn't think about it completely. ”

But in the days that left the night and stayed in Hu Ru, Yuemu saw first-hand how the war made the people miserable, and how the mediocre rulers oppressed the civilians. If there is no clear lord in the city, it will not only harm the people of several cities. ”

"Yuemu's original intention is indeed only for his own selfish interests, but when time has passed, he wants to use the power of Pan Ye and Hu Ru to fight for a stable and prosperous world for all living beings, so that thousands of Li people can live in peace, without worrying about where the Ming Dynasty will rise again, and whether unintentional words and unintentional actions will become fatal crimes. This is Yuemu's heart at this moment. Brother Ten Emperors, do you believe it? ”

There was a great silence in the tent. Xiao Xianhui's eyes were half surprised and half admiring, and Zong Zhengxu's heavy eyes were half as thick as the smile of Huan Ke's tender understanding on his side. As soon as the hands that were originally overlapping in front of me were put down, they were immediately gently held, steady, centered, warm, and broad, and completely held my hands in the palm of my hand, and held them shallowly with relief.

Looking back and smiling with relief, seeing that Huan Ke was about to speak, a medical officer's voice suddenly came from outside the tent: "Your Royal Highness the Tenth Prince, two adults, I don't know if you need to go inside to diagnose the pulse of His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince?" ”

Glancing at everyone present, Zong Zhengxu did not look back: "No need, His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince is fine." Please wait, Xu and Ke immediately went out to check the epidemic with several adults. ”

Raising his eyes to look at Xiao Xianhui, Zong Zhengxu said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince and Emperor Lingyue have reunited after a long absence, and they should be told each other first. Xu and the king of Pingzhou temporarily retreated, hoping to get a reply from His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince when he returned. ”

Pinched my palm, Huan Ke let go of his fist, and left with Zong Zhengxu. Xiao Xian was silent, and pointed to the stool and chair next to him for a moment. After thanking him and sitting down, Xiao Xianhui paused, concisely and concisely: "The three of you came to the Western Wilderness to look for me, but you want to cool the fish and rotten the river, so as to steal the day?" ”

There is no shying away from this statement, I know that Xiao Xianhui has let go of a prejudice against me, and I can't help but chuckle: "This day has been brilliant for a long time, how can I say it secretly?" It's just that the imperial power has changed, and the court has ups and downs, but there will be no eternal truth. Just as the Ten Emperor Brothers also had the opportunity to succeed to the throne, it is no longer possible to discuss the number of rites today. ”

"Etiquette?" With an ironic sound, Xiao Xianhui sneered: "It was precisely because of the so-called etiquette collision that the mother offended Wang Gushan, and she was framed by the design to be wronged. Emperor Lianghong knew this, but still issued an order to give his mother and concubine to death. I just told the truth, and I was stripped of my identity and sent to this point! No one paid attention to the body of the concubine, and no one cared about the corpse in the wilderness......"

His face wrinkled together in pain, and he gritted his teeth so that tears did not wet his face from the corners of his eyes. I quietly looked at this face that was more or less similar to mine, such undisguised grief and pain, such a sense of heart in the form of color, whether it was for myself or for others, I had never seen it in the past three years. Always thinking that the road ahead is long, you can't cry or joy easily, even if you can't help crying, it will never be a minute-by-minute and a second-less continuation.

I often think that I was fortunate to have been born the daughter of a ruthless playboy and an unrighteous emperor in the world, and this heart was humiliated enough from the beginning, so that I could be patient and indifferent enough. Even if he meets Cheng Kuo, he will only be free to him when he is with him in his life, and he will not ask about tomorrow.

Thinking about this a lot, I raised my eyes to Xiao Xian's gradually calming expression, I secretly thought that the emperor's family was really cold, and I opened my mouth lightly, and put my hands into my arms: "Ten Emperor Brothers' Day mourning." The Ten Emperor Brothers also know that Yue Mu lived in the Lanbu Fang of Lianghong's harem when he was a child, and if the servant died, he would have no choice but to ...... Mass graves. ”
