"If you don't come back, she's going to get married, that's what Aunt Qingxu said." Under the thin sunlight, the little owner of the Yiye Villa, who was full of spirits, looked at the battle court of Honest Mu Ne in surprise, "Then how did you respond." ”

"Me. I don't know what to say. Zhan Ting scratched his head, still puzzled by Qiao Qingxu's abnormal behavior last night, "Is she drunk......?"

Ye Huawan took a deep breath, suddenly raised a foot and kicked on Zhan Ting's leg, and her rude behavior was the same as Qiao Qingxu: "If you don't come back, Aunt Qingxu will marry, don't you understand, that is, if you return to Qiao's village, Aunt Qingxu will not marry someone else but marry you," The girl's delicate face showed a look of disdain, and she hid in Fu Chu's arms as if she was afraid of being infected and stupid: "Brother Zhan, it's not that I praise you, you are so stupid,"

Zhan Ting was confused for a while, turned around to look at Qiao Qingxu who was talking to people behind him, and turned around and smiled: "How come, I have known Qingxu for so many years, you don't understand." ”

"I, I, I don't understand. You know. , "Ye Hua's lungs are about to explode, and it is another kick on the ground."

"Yezi, don't make trouble, you have to hurry." The gentle Fu Chu held the little junior sister in his arms, and swayed his thin body on the back of the bumpy horse. Ye Huawan knew that his injuries had not healed, and it was easy to affect the wounds by moving casually, so he was busy and honestly stopped moving, and only took the watery eyes and whitened the battle court.

Qiao Qingxu likes the Zhan Ting, but I am afraid that the whole world will be this stupid hat and I haven't noticed it, seeing that my favorite Aunt Qingxu is suffering from infatuation, Ye Huawan, who is young, can't wait to ask Zhan Ting directly, would you like to be my uncle. However, she didn't have the courage to puncture the well-known secret, otherwise she would have to be beaten by Qiao Qingxu with her ears in her hands.

Yi Chenjing was not in the mood to laugh with everyone, his eyes under the tightly knit brows were always looking ahead, and when he saw the tall and magnificent gate of the imperial capital, he took a deep breath, and his face became more and more solemn.

"After entering the city, Master Ye Zhuang and Fu Chu will be handed over to the two friends of the Zhao family, and I will go to Jingyang Inn to find you afterwards, if I live."

The sharp negative tone made Bai Qige a little worried, and she looked at Yi Chenjing silently, but the cold and handsome face didn't seem to want her to see the slightest thought, and deliberately put on a mask of indifference. As soon as he entered the imperial capital, it was equivalent to a head-to-head confrontation with Yi Chenxuan, the two competed, the most taboo was pre-war cowardice, and Yi Chenjing's depressed mood was very obvious recently, she was really afraid...... I am afraid that he will retreat, I am afraid that he will lose the ambition he once had, and what I am most afraid of is that he has no determination to compete with Yi Chenxuan to the death, and he will be defeated in the final silent smoke.

The winner is the prince and the loser is the thief, the battle for the throne is the most cruel, and he is defeated, but I am afraid that his life will come to an end.

Walking to the city gate with anxiety, the gate of the imperial capital that had sent them out to the north was silent at this time, and the number of soldiers who were interrogated below was not more than usual, but there were many children playing and frolicking around the base of the city wall, and pleasant laughter and nursery rhymes faintly came.

"It's a little strange how it's so quiet. Shouldn't the five princes be on strict precautions against the great enemy? Qiao Qingxu was puzzled.

"The stakes are very high, Yi Chenxuan will never let us return to the palace." Bai Qige was also a little confused, frowning slightly and looking at the group of children, "These children ...... The city gate is heavy, and the people are not allowed to stay on weekdays, and it is strange to say that there are so many children, so there is no father and mother watching. ”

Bai Qige's question led everyone's eyes to the city gate, and after careful observation, more strange phenomena were discovered one by one.

"There's definitely quirkiness. Look at those children, they are all playing clapping songs, and there are dozens of them. No matter how fun it is, you can't play this one game all. The girl who was traveling with her stretched out her arms and pointed with a determined expression, "Also, I used to play when I was a child, but the boys don't know how to play clapping songs, but there are many boys here, who seem to be very reluctant to look at their expressions, and always feel like they are being forced." ”

"Yes." Bai Qige and Yi Chenjing were at a loss.

Bai Qige has been in an orphanage since she was a child, where there are few games, and most of them are children looking at the sky in a daze; As a prince, Yi Chenjing's usual life is completely different from that of ordinary people, he has never seen the games played by the children of these low-level people, but fortunately, the people who are traveling with him are ordinary people, weird children, and forced childhood games, and they were soon found to be so unusual.

Qiao Qingxu took a deep breath: "Be careful, let's go see the situation first." ”

Immediately following near the city gates, the guards only glanced at them, not paying any attention to the group. The others were either vicious or stupid, but Fu Chu, who was the most gentle and kind-hearted, had to go out in person, jumped off the horse and walked to the center of a group of children with a smile on his face: "Little sister, why are you all playing here." Did someone make you do this? ”

The little girl, who looked at most six or seven years old, glanced timidly, lowered her head and said in a weak voice: "Daddy said that the official uncle gave us silver and asked us to play at the city gate, and when I saw strangers entering the city, I sang songs to them." ”

Ballad. The children were arranged to sing ballads here, and they were specifically designated to be sung to the people who came into the city, as if someone wanted to convey some message in this way.

"What a ballad." Yi Chenjing rode on the horse and looked down, her cold gaze frightened the little girl to speak.

"I'll ask." Fu Chu blocked Yi Chenjing's figure, bent down and smiled more gently, "Can you tell me what the ballad is." Well, here are ten copper plates, you can buy a lot of delicious food, and if you tell your brother, these copper plates will be yours. ”

The attraction of delicious food to children is extraordinary, seeing the ten copper plates lying quietly in Bai Xiu's palm, a group of bold boys hula came up and exploded the pot, originally let them come here to sing ballads to others, and now someone is giving money to listen, which is cheap.

It is not easy to hear clearly when there are many people, but fortunately, there is an older child who has a clear speech and a loud voice, so he completely retold a few nursery rhymes, and after hearing a few words, Yi Chenjing's face turned pale instantly.

"The prince in the west and the concubine in the east, flew out of the palace and couldn't find it, Cihu Mountain looked forward to the return of her son, and her mother only shed tears. The golden silk birdcage hides the little sister, the little sister is blind and has no legs, waiting for the brother to scoop the lake water, and the sun sets and turns to ashes. ”

These lines of the ballad donkey lips are not in the horse's mouth, they are not in line with the rhyme, they are vulgar and shallow, and the content is also strange and inexplicable, obviously not made up by children to sing and play. However, the content of nursery rhymes, which may sound boring and meaningless to others, is a fatal blow to Yi Chenjing and Zhan Ting.

The prince of the west refers to Yi Chenjing from Western Chu, and the concubine does not mean Bai Qige, but Jing Fei; The little sister in the golden silk birdcage is very obvious, talking about Li'er, who is blind and can't walk, these two people are the most important people in Yi Chenjing and the war court, and the facts here are already obvious, these children are arranged by Yi Chenxuan, in order to let them know the news of Concubine Jing and Li'er before they enter the city, and then give up their plans to enter the city, Cihu Mountain Pan'er returns, waiting for his brother to scoop the lake water, the sun sets and turns to ashes, this is a naked threat, if you can't reach the designated place to rescue people before the sun sets, then, Concubine Jing and Li'er's lives are not guaranteed.

A nursery rhyme, two lives.

"Li'er ......" Zhan Ting stood stunned in place, muttering his sister's name, suddenly, the fierce light in his eyes rose, and the killing intent poured out in an instant.

That cold, almost ruthless look makes people palpitate, like a ruthless killer and like a hell Shura, it is easy to remind people of the name that Qiao Zhaohai called him that night, Wine Yasha. The cold and murderous battle court, the gentle and kind war court, which is the real him.

Bai Qige was still surprised, Qiao Qingxu had already jumped off his horse and stopped in front of the battle court, as if he had already guessed that he would leave impulsively.

"Don't go, this is clearly the enemy's trap," Qiao Qingxu stretched out his arms in front of the horse, without the slightest intention of backing down.

An almost crazy gaze looked into the distance over Qiao Qingxu's figure, and the voice of Zhan Ting's voice was low and ruthless, gritting his teeth: "Get out of the way." ”

"I said I wasn't allowed to go, didn't I understand people's words? , knowing that it is a trap and still breaking in, you have a few lives enough to die. As his chest rose and fell violently, Qiao Qingxu's tone gradually trembled. She knew very well that once it was a matter of Li'er, it would be difficult to dissuade the war court, and he did not hesitate to leave Qiao's family village and her to break into the palace to save Li'er, and now, he will still choose to die at all costs.

He was willing, but she couldn't sit idly by.

"Don't go, okay."

The tone of almost pleading made the battle court distract for a moment, but in the blink of an eye, it returned to its original state, and the horse's hooves stepped on the dust, hiding the plain expression behind the dust.

obviously swore to himself that he would be a lifelong guard to repay his kindness, and he would put His Royal Highness in the most important position no matter what the situation, but he couldn't do it, he really couldn't do it. In this world, he only has one relative left in his sister, he is her brother, how can he watch her being hurt by others, and let her die innocently in vain. She was imprisoned, he could wait, wait until Emperor Yao died, and Yi Chenjing ruled the world to return his sister to him; She can't see or walk, he can be her eyes and legs, and accompany her weak sister to live and laugh like an ordinary person.

And if she dies......

So, what's the point of him living.

Gripping the reins, his heart ached like a knife, and Zhan Ting lowered his eyes and raised his hands to clench his fists: "Your Highness's kindness Zhan Ting will never forget, if there is an afterlife, I am willing to enter the sword mountain and sea of fire for Your Highness again, and live and die together." ”

That's a farewell. Qiao Qingxu smiled bitterly, and all her internal organs were devoured by despair.

After waiting for him for so many years, this is the end. He still doesn't care about her feelings, he can leave if he wants, he can stay if he wants, until now he doesn't know that there was a woman who waited stupidly for his words, and even secretly prepared a red wedding dress just for him to go home.

Be gentle with everyone, but cruel to her.

The body that was no longer young lost the strength to stand upright, but fortunately, there was a white dress by her side, which held her steadily.

"I'm not going to stop you two from saving people, I just want you to listen to me first." Compared with the excitement and anger of Zhan Ting and Yi Chenjing, Bai Qige was as calm as a pool of peaceful lake water, calm and unhurried, and he could wash away three points of anxiety when he opened his mouth, "If you want to rush to the palace first and then save people, it will definitely be too late, Concubine Jing and Li'er's lives are at stake, we can only choose to save people first, but," As soon as the words changed, Bai Qige's face suddenly became serious: "Impulsiveness will only do bad things, so in order to avoid losing your mind emotionally, Zhan Ting took someone to save Concubine Jing Niangniang, and Li'er handed it over to me and Chen Jing, if you don't agree, No one wants to pass through here today,"
