Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Final Farewell

In the cold winter, outside the imperial capital of the Northern Dynasty.

Tao Tao was dressed in thin red, kneeling straight on the wet and cold ground, his face was as white as paper, thin and skinny, and a pair of phoenix eyes were vaguely visible, but unfortunately he was like a fish with dull eyes.

The general of the Southern Dynasty sat on his horse, looking down at the down-and-out woman who had absconded from the city with the proton of the Southern Dynasty and claimed to be the eldest princess of the Northern Dynasty, and his eyes fell on Tao Tao's godless eyes.

I heard that the eldest princess of the Northern Dynasty lost her mother at a young age, was stupid and stupid and suffered from eye diseases, and was a stupid rotten wood.

However, the woman in front of her, although she was young but vigorous, not only escaped from the besieged imperial city with the prince who stayed in the Northern Dynasty alone with the Southern Dynasty, but also kept saying that she wanted to make a deal with the Southern Dynasty.

"What do you want when you bring the eldest prince? To save your life? ”

The contempt and suspicion in the general's words were not concealed at all, Tao Tao raised his head, his voice was hoarse but loud, "If nothing else, I can take the general into the city from the secret passage, and I just hope that the general will control the soldiers and not hurt the people in the city." ”

As soon as these words came out, the Southern Korean army, which had been talking a lot, suddenly quieted down, and it was not until the general's horse snorted that the silence was broken.

The general's face changed from contempt to solemnity, and he glanced at the eldest prince who was protected by the soldiers, the eldest prince had a pair of amorous eyes, but his eyes were cold, and only when he looked at Tao Tao did warmth appear.

The eldest prince entered the Northern Dynasty at the age of six as a hostage, and said that he was the most noble prince of the Southern Dynasty, but his fate was bumpy. He is only nine years old now, and he has been in the Northern Dynasty for three full years.

The Northern and Southern Dynasties divided the Central Plains into two lands, after years of war and hatred, finally broke out, the emperor of the Northern Dynasty was deaf, extravagant, the Southern Dynasty soldiers were strong and invincible, and the soldiers were in the city, only this last imperial city was missing, and the Central Plains could be unified.

"Tao ...... What she said was true, she knew the secret passage, and I had to follow her to escape. After the eldest prince returned to the army of the Southern Dynasty, he only said the first sentence at this point, and looked up at the general fixedly, "General Fei, it is a great military achievement to capture the imperial city without spending a single soldier." ”

General Fei didn't expect that the eldest prince, who had been away from the royal family since he was a child, could call out his name, and the men and women in front of him, one was nine years old and the other was only fifteen, but he was young and talented.

The wealth of the sky was close at hand, and General Fei couldn't resist this temptation, he glanced at the girl in red deeply, and said word by word, "The princess is benevolent and righteous, and the general is naturally willing to accept this business." The north and the south were unified, and the people were all the people of the Southern Dynasty, and the general promised to control the soldiers and not hurt the people. ”

Tao Tao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, staggered up and almost fell, but was held by the eldest prince, covered by his sleeves, Tao Tao gently squeezed the eldest prince's hand, and said silently, "I'm fine, don't worry." ”

As night fell, in the chaotic royal family of the Northern Dynasty, no one cared about the lack of an eldest princess, but they all looked for the proton of the Southern Dynasty, which was a bargaining chip.

The emperor of the Northern Dynasty shrank in the palace, angrily threw the jade cup and marigold, walked down the throne barefoot and kicked away the general who was looking for people without success, his eyes widened, "What do you mean you can't find it!" How can a living person not be found! My country is dying, and I want you all to be buried! ”

After losing his temper at his subordinates, the emperor of the Northern Dynasty held his aching forehead and turned into the arms of the empress, sniffing the good aroma of her jade body, and stroking her hand on her smooth green silk like satin, and muttered, "The national fortunes of the Northern Dynasty are over, Zitong, don't be afraid, even if you and I are all over today, I will let the people of the entire imperial city be martyred for you and me." In the underworld, I am still the supreme emperor, and you are still my favorite wife. ”

After that, the slender jade fingered at the face of the Northern Emperor, her beautiful eyes flowed, and she said coquettishly, "Okay, Your Majesty, the concubine will be born with you and die with you." ”

However, the two of them failed to continue to stage, the Southern Dynasty army will follow the eldest princess of the Northern Dynasty Tao Tao from the secret passage into the city, the people closed the door, did not report it, but drove all the way in, straight to the palace gate.

When General Fei led people to knock open the door of the main hall, the Northern Emperor was still enjoying the last joy and a room of joy with his successors.

"You, how did you get in...... Come on! Escort, escort! ”

Beidi hurriedly lifted his pants, and couldn't hold the sword studded with gems, only to find that his biological daughter was beside General Hua in a hurry, and his fear immediately turned into hatred, "It's you, it's you who took them to the palace, how could I give birth to a princess like you, you're the same as your mother, you're a lowly ......"

"You don't deserve to mention my mother!" Tao Tao, who had been carrying a breath and the Southern Dynasty army to enter the palace at a rapid pace, only interrupted after hearing the Northern Emperor mention his dead mother, his voice was as rapid as a bellows, and his face was visibly red, caused by a lack of qi.

The father and daughter did not have time to reminisce, General Fei ordered with a cold face, and the soldiers immediately surrounded the hall.

The mediocre Northern Emperor at least said one sentence correctly, the national fortunes of the Northern Dynasty are over.

In the battle between the north and the south, the Southern Dynasty won a complete victory, the Northern Emperor surrendered, the people of the imperial city suffered almost no casualties, and the battle of the Northern Expedition came to an end.

The soldiers of the Southern Dynasty who were busy catching people and counting the spoils of war became busy, and Tao Tao, the leader of the way, became insignificant, only those royal nobles who participated in the Northern Dynasty spat when they saw it, "Women are difficult to raise, cartilage people!" ”

Tao Tao was not at ease for a long time, she stood outside the main hall, looked towards the gate of the palace, and said softly, "Zhou Xing, accompany me to the city gate to have a look, okay?" ”

Si Zhouxing, the great prince of the Southern Dynasty, who had been silently following Tao Tao, did not make a sound, only took two steps forward, grabbed Tao Tao's arm, and led the person towards the city gate.

"Although I am not favored by my father in the Southern Dynasty, you can rest assured, if you return to the Southern Dynasty with me, I will protect your health for the rest of your life." Si Zhouxing tried his best to soften his tone, clumsily calming Tao Tao's emotions.

Tao Tao felt his kindness, and the corners of his lips curled slightly, "Okay." ”

"The climate in the Southern Dynasty is warm, and you won't have cold legs and pain in winter, so I'll call you the best doctor."

"Okay."

"The food of Xiangguo Temple is delicious, I have eaten it for many years and I am not tired of it, and I will take you to eat it when I return to the Southern Dynasty."

"Okay."

"Why are you talking so much today? I'd like to go up and see for myself. Tao Tao kicked the stairs of the upper city tower, stopped, and looked in the direction of Si Zhouxing with a smile, "No matter what, you still have your mother and sister thinking about you, don't feel sorry for yourself when you return to the Southern Dynasty, be happy, you know?" ”

Si Zhouxing looked at Tao Tao's gaze, with an attachment that he had never noticed, he nodded first, and then remembered that Tao Tao couldn't see, so he responded, "Then I'll wait for you here, it's cold, you come down quickly." ”

This time Tao Tao didn't answer again, she wrapped herself in a warm coat by Si Zhouxing, pushed away his hand and climbed the city tower step by step.

The cold wind howled above the city tower, and the sound of war drums, footsteps, and wind could be heard, Tao Tao looked at the direction outside the palace, she couldn't see anything, but she seemed to see the lights of thousands of homes, white and bright as day.

Dayu slipped to the ground, and the red clothes jumped off the tower.

The last memory of being wrapped in the biting cold wind, Tao Tao called out to his mother who died early in his heart.

"Queen Mother, Tao Tao is tired, Tao Tao has fulfilled her responsibility as a princess, and she only wants to be your delicate daughter in the next life."
