"Actually, I called you here because I asked for something. ”

"The question of ownership in the future?"

Xia Xiao raised his eyes, and when he looked at Ji Yi, the latter nodded sincerely.

Ji Yi's mind is not difficult to guess, and now inviting Xia Xiao over is nothing more than this matter. Although Xia Xiao didn't expect it at first, when Yi Yi mentioned Nanshang, he realized it.

Before I knew it, in another half a year, the period of time that the first church stayed in Bactria would be one-third less. At that time, NCB will definitely attack. In the face of the strong Nanshang of the country, even if Yi Yi tried his best, it was difficult to resist. Although there are two Allied countries, it is not optimistic. Therefore, Xia Xiao with a special identity is very important!

"During the border war, the Shooting Powers and the Southern Kingdom wanted to break the alliance and bow to the Southern Merchants to protect themselves, but we argued with reason and asked for a postponement of the decision. Now that you're here, it's estimated that they won't break the covenant easily. But after four years of college, we want you back. ”

"Holy Lord, what are you worried about?"

Xia Xiao asked directly, now there is no one around, I believe that Ji Yi will not hate this.

"The College has spent four years and countless resources educating people, and many people have chosen to stay and become part of it. Just like Chuan Lian Instructor, from the moment he decided, he had no connection with Great Xia. I don't know what kind of magic Ning Seminary has to make them abandon their homeland, but it's true. But you can't leave, otherwise the two countries will withdraw from the treaty, and the situation of Great Xia will be even more dangerous. ”

Xia Xiao, who is also a student of Ning Seminary, a disciple of the Pope, and a person who has come from afar, in a sense, the importance of one person is comparable to that of an entire army. Therefore, Yi Yi had to keep Xia Xiao before he entered the academy. Otherwise, when Xia Xiao made a decision four years later, it would be difficult to change this matter.

Preparing for a rainy day is what the Holy Lords often do. If Xia Xiao does not return after four years, even if they hold on to that time, in the face of the abandonment of the two countries, the military strength will decline, and it will be a matter of time before they lose to Nanshang!

"How?"

Yi Yi needed an accurate answer, and Xia Xiao shrugged his shoulders, as if he had no choice.

"My family is still in the dynasty, so naturally I will not abandon it. ”

Although it is not explicit, it can be regarded as a promise.

"Holy Lord, I would like to see Instructor Chuanlian, please summon me. ”

"I know what you're going to ask, he told me that Shu Shuang will be admitted to the hospital with you without any hindrance. ”

"What else?"

"That's all. ”

At the beginning, Chuanlian came all the way to Rongcheng and asked himself about Shu Shuang's identity. He didn't answer, but now, Fang Hai and the others seemed to know the mystery, and only he was still in the dark. Because of some relationships, Chuan Lian and they won't tell Yi Yi, but Xia Xiao will definitely ask clearly!

After a moment of silence, Xia Xiao took a sip of tea, quite bitter.

Looking at the tea in the cup, did I drink too much wine last night and the taste changed? Or is this tea too inferior?

"There's nothing else, you can go to the library and look for the book you're looking for. If there is no answer there, go to Ning Seminary to find it, and if you want to know, someone will always know. ”

Xia Xiao did not procrastinate, like a neat and neat pen stop. He stood up and saluted, and said goodbye.

Xia Xiao came out and was taken to the library by someone. Father-in-law Mu entered and walked to Ji Yi's side.

"Holy Lord, how's that?"

He agreed. ”

Father-in-law Mu felt that this was a good thing, but Ji Yi's brows were still furrowed.

"Gao Mu, how far do you think Xia Xiao can go?"

"It's hard for the old minister to judge, but now it seems that he may be able to go to the sky. ”

Father-in-law Mu gave a high evaluation, and there was some curiosity on Ji Yi's face. Xia Xiao's cultivation speed, four years later, may be able to change the current situation.

Outside the imperial study, Xia Xiao was gone. He followed the little eunuch to the library and passed on the holy edict to the keeper to get the key.

There are tens of thousands of books in the library and there are chronicles of the past dynasties, so it is particularly important. The caretaker opened the heavy iron door for Xia Xiao and handed him a lantern.

Leaning against the last door, the library in Xia Xiao's eyes was a little dark, but it was not so difficult to see the road clearly, but it was difficult to read the words. It was dry and unventilated, and had an unpleasant smell, like ink that had been sealed for a long time. As for the intoxicating aroma of books, Xia Xiao didn't smell the slightest.

After the gate was cleared for a while, the old man who guarded the place stepped forward with a lantern.

"What book is the Third Young Master looking for?"

"Is there any record of prophecy?"

"The old man remembers having one. ”

"Only one?"

"The old man has been in charge of the library for a long time, and there will be no mistake, there is only one. ”

Books are written by people, and I am afraid that it is difficult to compare them, and it is impossible to determine the authenticity of them, but it is better than nothing. Xia Xiao looked forward to it.

"Then take a look. ”

"Third Young Master, please come with me. ”

The library has two floors, and when you go up to the second floor, the surroundings are much brighter. There was a small breeze in the air, which attracted Xia Xiao's attention, and after the old caretaker felt it, a nervousness that could not be hidden appeared on the old face. He carefully set the lantern aside and walked in search of the wind.

This kind of small wind is not a big deal, but the caretaker is faintly afraid. If the window is broken, and the rain comes in on a cloudy day, and the book is damaged, he can't afford it. But he clearly remembered that these windows were all inspected, how could they be damaged for no reason?

When the old man walked, Xia Xiao strolled through the extremely wide bookshelves. It's as spacious as the first floor, and it's like a sea of books, but no one has been here for so long, and the dust on it is a little strange.

Although the old man will ask people to clean regularly, it is strange that some books are not dusty, but everything is there.

When his fingers moved on the bookshelf and swiped across the countless books, Xia Xiao paused and felt a faint breath behind the bookshelf beside him. That breath was extremely light and faint.

Fingers clasped the thick book and took it off, and when Xia Xiao looked at the other side, it was still a book!

Xia Xiao felt strange, walked to the other end of the long bookshelf, and looked around. I saw a young girl sitting in a group of books, particularly intoxicated.

The girl was wearing a precious light fur dress, a phoenix hairpin with green silk, and her side face was a little thin, with some morbid beauty. But the pair of bright eyes, the book resting on his lap, chewed with relish, as if he had substituted himself into it, and he was extremely focused.

Xia Xiao couldn't help but wonder what kind of distant world the book would describe, which fascinated her so much, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Third Young Master, you feel free to wander around, and I'll pick up the book for you. ”

The old man's voice came from afar, although it was faint, but Xia Xiao was still afraid of breaking the girl's tranquility. But she didn't seem to hear it, and still looked at the book in her hand.

Seeing her little face pale, Xia Xiao couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although I haven't met, the one in front of me is the princess of Great Xia! I heard that she was seriously ill, so I didn't think that I would open the window and enter the library pavilion.

Xia Xiao retreated and wanted to go. It can be seen that she covered her slightly pale mouth, listened to her cough a few times, and stepped forward with great reluctance. As Fei Lian said that day, in the life of ordinary people, two years may be very short, but for her, two years is the end of her life. A stranger who could wait for him like this, Xia Xiao still couldn't bear to leave. He didn't provoke her, but he had to let her go back.

It was too quiet all around, Xia Xiao squatted to the side and made some strange noises, making her turn her head by herself so as not to scare her.

Soon, the princess, who had dark circles under her eyes and was in poor spirits, noticed that something was wrong. She frowned slightly, the corners of her mouth downward, and turned her head to find the source of the voice.

In the gap between the two rows of bookshelves, Xia Xiao turned his back to the light, so that the girl could not see his face clearly. But the more mysterious and distant it is, the more infinite beauty it becomes.

In Xia Xiao's eyes, the princess named Ji Yunying laughed, with a bit of a trance, as if she would faint at any time, and as if she had seen through life and death.

"Are you here to take me away?"

Her voice was full of weakness, which made Xia Xiao feel sorry for herself, and she regarded herself as a god of death who asked for her life? What a poor child.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, I am ......"

"Are you Xia Xiao?"

There was a hint of joy in her frank tone, whether it was a fairy, an illusion or a tenderness. And Xia Xiao couldn't be sure if she was asking herself or explaining this fact.

For Xia Xiao, this was the first time he had met the princess, and the first time he saw her sitting quietly with a book in her hand, with only echoing coughs all around. It's not the first time I've seen him, and for countless midnights, he has been imagining Xia Xiao's appearance in his mind based on the stories he heard.

What kind of person should Xia Xiao be in order to get through the difficulties and appear in the mouth of the imperial brother?

Ji Yun thought about it for a long time, and it wasn't until she saw him that the figure that had always been blurred was confirmed. Xia Xiao is very similar to what she imagined, not very handsome, but extremely resolute, as if nothing can defeat him. It seems ordinary, but it is not.

After the rain yesterday, the sun was just right at this time, flashing Xia Xiao, who was kneeling on one knee, sprinkled on her face, making her even more delicate.

"Yes!"

Xia Xiao found that he didn't hate the princess so much, so he was fortunate to talk to her, so as not to be called into the palace by the saint again. Xia Xiao began to make excuses for herself, but in the face of her, she couldn't always avoid her.

Sitting under the bookshelf in front of her, Xia Xiao looked at her, his eyes did not dodge, but he didn't dare to think about it. The pair of eyebrows and eyes were crooked, smiling like flowers.

"What a coincidence, we met here. ”

"It's a coincidence. ”

"I didn't think I could see you. ”

"Why?"

"Brother Huang said that you have a girl you love very much, but we can meet here, and you can explain it when you go back. ”

"You don't blame me?"
