The snow stopped suddenly, and there were still scattered snowflakes in the sky.

Xiao Chen and Ling Hujin walked side by side, but they did not speak tacitly, and only the sound of "creaking" feet stepping on the snow came from the snow.

"Is that woman very important to you?" Ling Hu Jin suddenly raised his head and asked.

Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, stopped and looked at Ling Hujin: "What are you talking about......"

"Outside the city of Yong'an, the woman you drew your sword for her."

Xiao Chen was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "It turns out that you know everything." ”

Ling Hu Jin was silent, but his eyes were slightly red.

Looking at Ling Hujin, who looked wronged, Xiao Chen chuckled and said, "So it's because of this that you don't want to marry me?" ”

Looking at Xiao Chen's heartless and still chuckling lightly, Ling Hu Jin simply turned his head angrily.

Xiao Chen looked up at the sky and continued thoughtfully: "Actually, you should also know that the marriage contract between you and me is just part of your father's plan, and not marrying me is indeed a correct choice. ”

"What about you......" Ling Hu Jin turned his head to look at Xiao Chen: "The reason why you sent troops to support my father is not because of me, right?" ”

"If it was the old me...... Perhaps. ”

"Why?"

Xiao Chen smiled: "After all, you are so good-looking." ”

Ling Hu Jin was amused and smiled, but in an instant, he said angrily: "Xiao Chen, if anyone marries you, it must be the most unlucky and unlucky girl in the world." ”

Xiao Chen smiled dumbly and did not speak.

Sending Ling Hujin back to his residence, Xiao Chen immediately returned to the guest room, and in the guest room, Zhang Gu walked forward quickly:

"Lord Wang, Yong'an has a letter."

Bounced off the snow stains on his body, Xiao Chen asked softly, "What did the letter say?" ”

Zhang Gu said: "The letter said that the army that conquered the Guizhou Kingdom will return to Manshenzhou in three days, and the prince must leave this place within these three days. ”

Xiao Chen frowned slightly: "What about Your Majesty?" ”

Zhang Gu shook his head: "The letter didn't mention it, and the letter also said that the prince only needs to arrive at the foot of the Zhaizi Mountain on time in three days, and Xue Wuxing's army will not go to Manshenzhou, but will meet the prince at the foot of the Zhaizi Mountain." ”

"As for Your Majesty......"

Zhang Gu paused for a moment and said, "Ji Wushuang should have his own arrangements and preparations. ”

"Three days?" Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed slightly: "It should be enough." ”

……

Linghu Jin's yard, Linghu Chu walked into the courtyard.

Looking at this father who single-handedly promoted the marriage contract between himself and Xiao Chen, and tried his best to complete his marriage with Xiao Chen, Ling Hu Jin did not speak with a calm face, but sat quietly on the stone bench that swept away the snow in the courtyard.

Ling Hu Chu walked to Ling Hu Jin and sat down, and asked softly, "How did you talk to Xiao Chen?" ”

Ling Hu Jin raised her beautiful eyes and looked at Ling Hu Chu, and asked, "Do you still want me to marry Xiao Chen?" ”

was questioned by Ling Hu Jin, and Ling Hu Chu said impatiently: "That is a marriage contract made by His Majesty himself, and my father can't help it." ”

"No way?" Ling Hu Jin sneered: "You still treat me as a three-year-old child, in your eyes, do you still care about the meaning of the emperor who was imprisoned by you in the backyard?" He is just a puppet of yours now, whatever you say, it is whatever it is, even if you want to marry Aunt Liu to Cao Xun, it is a matter of your words. ”

"And now, you actually said that it was Your Majesty's will for me to marry Xiao Chen......"

Ling Hu Chu's eyes gradually became angry with Ling Hu Jin's words, and finally Ling Hu Chu roared angrily: "Ling Hu Jin, you are too bold, do you know that if these words are spread, you and I will not be able to cut off ten heads?" ”

"Are you afraid of Bai Qi, or are you afraid of the emperor in the backyard who was imprisoned by you?" Ling Hu Jin didn't give an inch, stood up and said, "Father, I can ignore the things you do, but how can you marry your daughter to someone who doesn't have me in her heart at all?" ”

"What Xiao Chen has experienced, you know better than me, the girl who gave up everything for him, do you think he can give it up?"

"He Xiao Chen has no choice!" Linghu Chu roared: "If he marries you, is good to you, and knows the times to be an obedient puppet, I will naturally give him a peaceful and glorious rest of his life, otherwise, this time he doesn't want to leave Manshenzhou alive!" ”

"You're going to kill him?!" Ling Hu Jin was surprised, she didn't expect that her father not only put the emperor under house arrest, but also had the idea of killing Xiao Chen.

Ling Hu Chu sat on the stone bench, and the whole person fell into silence for a long time.

"Jin'er, I'm doing this for your good!" After a moment, Ling Hu Chu spit out a sentence.

"Say no more!" Ling Hu Jin only felt a little incredible, the father in front of her, she felt so strange: "You are just for your royal cause, so for those, you can sacrifice everything, including me." Is that right? ”

Looking at Ling Hu Jin with a desperate look in front of him, a flash of reluctance flashed in Ling Hu Chu's eyes, and he wanted to step forward to touch Ling Hu Jin's hair, but the latter retreated and dodged it.

This action completely dispersed the last tenderness in Ling Hu Chu's eyes, looking at Ling Hu Jin, Ling Hu Chu forced him to ask: "So you can't understand your father's good intentions, can't you stand on the same front as your father?" ”

Ling Hujin kept shaking his head: "I just don't want my father to be so crazy." ”

"Father, you weren't like this before, in the past, you would take me to eat all kinds of delicious food, and every time you went out, you would bring me a gift back. will also leave the prince's shelf and accompany me in the snow. Although naïve, I think that at that time, my father, you, were the most respectable. At that time, you cared about everyone's thoughts, and you always taught me to be loyal to the monarch and love the people, but now? ”

"Father, you've changed!"

Ling Hu Chu was stunned, and countless complicated emotions flashed in his eyes, as if he was also reminiscing about the past.

Suddenly, the snow began to fall again, and the flakes were as bright as goose feathers.

The father and daughter stood in the garden in a daze, without saying a word.

After a long time, Ling Hu Chu suddenly sighed and said:

"Jin'er, times have changed, and the times create heroes, but in the same way, if I am not ruthless enough, then the person who will die in the future must be me."

Flicking his sleeves and turning around, Linghu Chu, who was just about to leave, seemed to think of something, and suddenly stopped.

"You said I didn't give you a choice, so my father will give you one now."

"As long as you say that you don't like Xiao Chen, my father will immediately send someone to kill him, lest he mess with your mind and ruin the relationship between my father and daughter."

"If you like it, then don't do anything, rest assured and wait for the army to return to Manshenzhou to marry Xiao Chen, you can rest assured, as long as he does it, his father will definitely spare his life."
