Chapter 89: Don't give in

"I'm Zhao Yi!" a man opened his eyes and shouted suddenly. But after a while, he shook his head and said to himself: "It's really strange, I'm not Zhao Yi, who else could it be?

He is Zhao Yi, the second son of Zhao Wuregret, the city lord of Maple Leaf City, and his mother Ye Wushuang is the daughter of another wealthy family in the city, and he has an elder brother named Zhao Ren, who has traveled abroad and has not returned for several years. His father is not only the lord of a city, but also the prince of the empire, and naturally in Maple Leaf City, more people call him the little prince.

"Little prince, are you awake?" Yihong, the personal maid, hurriedly stepped forward to serve him to get dressed and get up. The maid is a beggar picked up by Zhao Yi on the side of the road, and because she is active and loyal, she has become his personal maid.

"Yihong, can my father and mother be in the house?" Zhao Yi got dressed, and while rinsing his mouth at this time, he asked the maid where his parents were, and he found that when he woke up, he felt that he hadn't seen his parents for a long time.

When he heard the news from the maid that his parents were in the house, he immediately rushed over there as soon as he finished cleaning up. In the backyard garden of Fuzhong, when Zhao Yi arrived, he found his father sitting on a stone table drinking tea, while his mother was playing the piano on the side.

From the smiles on the faces of the parents, it can be seen that they are enjoying it very much. Zhao Yi stepped forward and called "father", and then called his mother. Zhao Wuxian put down the teacup in his hand, and Ye Wushuang also stopped and continued to pluck the strings. All eyes were on him.

Zhao Yi first saluted his father, and then threw himself into his mother's arms. Although his parents joked that he was "all adults, just like children", the smiles on the faces of the family of three reflected the scene at this time very harmoniously.

A year later, Zhao Ren returned from training, and Zhao Yi heard the news and went to greet him with excitement. When the brothers met, they were extremely enthusiastic, but Zhao Yi could clearly feel a trace of distance in his brother's laughter. He shook his head, reassuring himself that perhaps it was because he hadn't seen him in a long time.

Originally, Zhao Wuregret planned to hand over a shop in the city to Zhao Yi to take care of in order to do his training. But after Zhao Ren came back, he said to Zhao Yi: "Brother, in two years, I can go to the city lord assessment, but I have no experience in managing shops, after all, I am not qualified, you are still young, can you give me this opportunity first?"

Zhao Yi saw that his brother was reasonable, considering that his brother needed this position more than himself, so he agreed, and even went to explain to his father in person, giving up the opportunity to take care of the shop to his brother Zhao Ren. It's just that he missed the best opportunity to gain management experience, but he doesn't regret it.

Three years later, Zhao Yi fell in love with the same woman with his brother. The woman is the daughter of the wealthy Ning family, named Ning Chengcheng, as her name suggests, she looks like a country and a city. What is rare is that she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her first-hand cooking skills are also complete, and she has a docile personality and is polite and courteous. Such a woman is really the best choice to be a wife, and the brothers are unwilling to give up easily.

Brothers are like siblings, and women are like clothes, and it depends on whether the clothes fit or not. It is not uncommon to stab brothers twice for the sake of a woman. The Zhao Yi brothers didn't stab each other twice, but when they saw Zhao Ren choose to commit suicide for Ning Chengcheng, Zhao Yi silently withdrew, even if he loved someone again, he didn't want to lose the lives of his relatives.

Zhao Yi wanted to slow down and make another calculation, but he didn't know that his beloved woman would become his brother's wife, and he could only call her sister-in-law forever, he could only abide by etiquette and respect her, and love was difficult to say. On that day he drank wine to drown his sorrows, and he was very drunk......

Maybe watching is also a kind of happiness, Zhao Yi can only comfort himself silently like this. He began to spend his energy on studying and practicing martial arts, and only in this way could he relieve the pain in his heart a little.

Yi Hong looked at the sleeping little prince, her face was a lot more gentle, but her heart was a little distressed. Is it worth it for a woman like this? But she immediately thought that she was not more stupid than the little prince......?

In March again, Zhao Wuregret ushered in his fiftieth birthday, and important people in the city went to the palace to congratulate him on his birthday. Zhao Yi congratulated him and prepared to go back to the room, because such an important thing as receiving guests was of course handed over to the eldest brother Zhao Ren to do, after all, this was an excellent opportunity to contact the feelings.

On this day, the palace was full, and the table was full of wine and food. Suddenly, a discordant voice came in from outside the palace: "Oh no, the Qin army is coming." “

The Qin army came over? There was a commotion at the scene, and Zhao Wuregret was about to send someone to check the situation, but he found that the guests sitting there had fallen down one by one. "What's going on?" his eyes fell on the eldest son beside him, because this birthday banquet was organized by Zhao Ren throughout the whole process, but before he could reply, he was shocked that the strength in his body was decreasing, and then his feet were weak and he fell.

Zhao Ren was about to hold the long sword, and walked towards Zhao Wuregret's side step by step, at this time, Ye Wushuang walked out of the inner hall and shouted urgently: "Ren'er, what are you going to do?" Zhao Ren turned his head, and with a jump, the long sword responded and sank into Ye Wushuang's heart. "Brute, what are you doing? He's your mother! How can you do such a thing?" Zhao Wuregret's eyes were torn apart, and blood and tears flowed from his eyes. He couldn't believe that his excellent son would do something to kill his mother, and now I'm afraid that even his father would not let go, and he fainted without taking a breath.

"Hahaha!ha

Ning Qingcheng held a dagger in his hand and decisively stabbed into Zhao Ren's heart, before he said hatefully: "Don't think that if you get my person by despicable means, you can get my heart, the food in the past few months is delicious, right?

"You slut, I" Zhao Ren didn't finish speaking, and suddenly changed his tone: "Brother, this slut poisoned the wine, stunned everyone, and killed his father and mother, and now he wants to kill me, kill him quickly." ”

It was Zhao Yi who heard the noise and rushed over, but as soon as he came, he saw his parents lying on the ground, and his sister-in-law was stabbing his brother with a dagger. It was his loved ones who fell to the ground, and the murderer was the woman he loved deeply, he didn't understand why this was the case, he only felt that his heart was very painful, he covered his painful heart, and asked stupidly: "Why?"

"No, it's not what you think!" Ning Chengcheng looked at Zhao Yi in pain, she knew that she couldn't explain it clearly no matter what, and the biggest hidden danger had to be solved at the moment, so the raised dagger was going to greet Zhao Ren's body again.

Zhao Yi found that his parents no longer knew life and death, where could he tolerate the last relatives and brother being hurt, so he immediately rolled over, picked up the long sword on the ground, and was about to block the dagger in Ning Qingcheng's hand. Unexpectedly, Ning Tingcheng heard the sound, turned around, and went straight to his chest, the long sword passed through his chest, Ning Tingcheng spurted out a mouthful of blood, ignoring the long sword passing through his chest, but looked at Zhao Yi with affection, and said softly: "It's not me, it's not me."

It was not easy to kill the woman he loved with his own hands, even if she had just killed his family, even if he had no intention of killing her at all, he just wanted an explanation. Zhao Yi felt that he was about to collapse, he let go of the long sword in his hand, stepped forward to hug Ning Qingcheng, he wanted to see if there was still a chance to save her, he no longer cared that this was his sister-in-law, and he didn't care that his brother was next to him.

"It's really my good brother, but you can die with them!" Zhao Ren's heart was just the opposite of ordinary people, and Ning Qingcheng's stab just now did not consume all his strength. At this time, he survived the most serious stage of the poison attack, and took advantage of Zhao Yi to check Ning Qingcheng's injury, picked up the dagger on the ground, and was about to solve Zhao Yi, anyway, he couldn't live, so let's die together!

Zhao Yi turned his head and found that the dagger was getting closer and closer to him, and he couldn't dodge it, and suddenly he felt that someone pushed him, and he fell to the side diagonally with Ning Qingcheng in his arms. All he heard was a familiar voice: "Don't!"

When he looked over again, Zhao Yi found that his brother, who was suddenly in trouble, seemed to have exhausted the last trace of strength, bleeding from his seven orifices, and died violently. Next to him, a woman in palace clothes had a dagger in her chest, which was his personal maid Yihong. Blood spilled out of Yi Hong's mouth, but she still crawled towards Zhao Yi, and before she could say a word, "Little Prince, I love you!" she closed her eyes, with a hint of satisfaction and a smile on her face.

"No!" Zhao Yi looked up to the sky and shouted. Suddenly, she felt that Ning Qingcheng in her arms moved, and her brother, who was suddenly in trouble, had already made him understand that things were not as simple as he imagined, and at this time he just wanted to heal her injuries first. Ning Qingcheng shook his head and said, "Don't bother, in fact, Zhao Yi, do you know? Actually, I liked you at first, but later I found out that he was a spy Zhao Yi, do you know? Sometimes you can't hesitate, there are some things that you can't let you do!" After speaking, he closed his eyes and lost his breath.

Zhao Yi got up, came to Zhao Ren's face, looked left and right, and actually tore off a human skin mask from his face, Zhao Yi found that his brother had already been impersonated, he angrily picked up the long sword, and stabbed the fake Zhao Ren, but after the stab, he found that the people around him were dead, and he had no idea of continuing to live, he wanted to commit suicide by swinging the sword.

At this time, his ears remembered his father's call: "Yi'er!" Zhao Yi's face showed surprise, his father is okay? He threw away his long sword and came to Zhao Wuregret's side: "Father, you're fine, it's okay!" Zhao Wuregret shook his head: "Yi'er, I'm afraid I can't do it, don't do stupid things, now that we have all had an accident, and the Qin army has hit Maple Leaf City again, you have to take on the responsibility of a prince, remember to lead the army and protect the people of the city! As a prince, you should be benevolent! Remember."

Tears wet Zhao Yi's face, and he picked up the token and walked out of the palace. There are not many Qin troops who come to attack, after all, there are many cities in front, I originally thought that there was Zhao Ren in it, and it would be easy to take it, but Zhao Ren did not appear for a long time, and the two sides fell into a stalemate, after Zhao Yi appeared, the morale of the soldiers and civilians in Maple Leaf City was greatly boosted, and the Qin army was quickly repulsed.

After Zhao Yi buried the people of the palace, he came to his father's grave, thinking about what his father said at the end, in the face of responsibility, he should not give in, he couldn't help but think that he had been forbearing, and he didn't get what he wanted, and he thought of what Ning Qingcheng said at the end, yes, some things can't be allowed.

What is to let go, let is courtesy, is humble, is to retreat from the heart of gain and loss, rather than blindly weak forbearance, some things can not be allowed, just like the love between each other can not be allowed to others? some things can not be allowed, in the face of responsibility, the people of our generation should not give in

A beam of light appeared on the graves of Zhao Ren, Ning Qingcheng, and Yi Hong, and threw it into Zhao Yi's body, and then Zhao Yi seemed to think of something, raised his head, and before he could think about it, he turned into a ray of light and broke through the air
