"I think this is a dream, I woke up from the dream, none of this happened, or, don't let me be born, so that I won't go through all this, my mother won't die, I won't meet such a father, I have never experienced the protection of my brother, the warmth of my husband, so that I won't be sad." - Xia Jingyan

But it's not a dream.

When Xia Jingyan woke up, it was already the middle of the night, there was only one oil lamp in the imperial tent, dim and dim, the candle flame was shaking, as if it would be extinguished at any time, it was so strange here! This is...... Zhou military camp.

Xia Jingyan felt a trace of coldness slip across her face, and she reached out to wipe it, it was tears.

Zhou Ranmiao was sleeping soundly beside him, his expression was so peaceful, yes, he was the Emperor of Zhou, with an army of 200,000, what did he have to worry about? Xia Jingyan sneered, looked down at his clothes, they had already been torn apart.

Xia Jingyan hated a lot, but looking at Zhou Ranmiao's uncovered bedding and the curtain door blown by the cold wind, she was still distressed and went to help Zhou Ranmao tuck the quilt.

But this moment still woke Zhou Ranmao up, he raised his head vigilantly, tightly grabbed Xia Jingyan's wrist, and after seeing Xia Jingyan's appearance clearly, his eyes softened again.

"Why did you wake up?" Zhou Ranmiao seemed to be dodging, and he turned his back.

"If His Majesty Emperor Zhou wants Jing Yan to sleep for a long time, just give him a poisonous wine or white silk." Xia Jingyan replied coldly.

At this moment, Zhou Ranmiao's heart is also colic, but his self-esteem binds him.

"You are now atoning for Mingxia, aren't you afraid of annoying me, and I will attack Mingxia again?"

"Then how does His Majesty the Emperor Zhou want Jing Yan to serve?" Xia Jingyan smiled bitterly, "My tent is also warm, and the palace sand is also lost, Your Majesty is still not satisfied?" There is nothing to be done about it. ”

"Shouldn't you beg me, crying and screaming so that I won't destroy Mingxia? Don't you know, your imperial brother has been defeated again, and the total number of Ming Xia troops is only 50,000, which is really a defeat with one blow. Zhou Ranmiao turned his head back and stared at Xia Jingyan again, with a smile on his face.

Xia Jingyan knelt down and said stiffly: "I beg His Majesty Emperor Zhou to spare me Ming Xia." ”

But Zhou Ranmao was not happy, but was also annoyed, he flew up and hugged Xia Jingyan, Xia Jingyan resisted, he strangled Xia Jingyan's wrist, Xia Jingyan shouted, he didn't let go, only licked Xia Jingyan's flesh frantically.

"You let me go...... Let me go! Xia Jingyan roared and pushed Zhou Ranmao away.

After a "snap", Zhou Ranmao finally stopped, as if he were stiff.

"Zhou Ranmao, I really believed the wrong person, you jumped off the cliff, and I almost jumped down with you! And you are like this now, how sorry is our Xia family for you! You ......"

"How can you be worthy of me!"

Xia Jingyan's arrogance that was almost raised was suppressed by Zhou Ranmiao again, and Zhou Ranmao's hateful eyes stared at Xia Jingyan's back.

"Yan'er, I lost you, but I didn't lose the Xia family, the Zhou State has enough troops, it's not that I can't beat Xia Jingsheng! I drove my troops to level the Dongjiang River, and the people of the world couldn't say anything about me! Your Xia family slaughtered my clan, and I killed 300,000 people tragically in Yihe, Xia Jingyan! If I wasn't for you, why would I have to quit one after another! If it weren't for you, let you live, why would I be angry with those courtiers! Do you think I won't dare kill you! Look at the current Ming Xia, what kind of thing is it to me! ”

Zhou Ranmiao roared, and Xia Jingyan couldn't speak.

"So not only did I not lose the Xia family, but I also saved the Xia family, otherwise I would have let the last tens of thousands of people in the Xia family all die tragically! Including your royal brother! Including your sisters and sisters! ”

"But that's not my brothers' fault......" Xia Jingyan muttered very quietly.

But this sentence was still heard by Zhou Ranmiao, a wry smile appeared on Zhou Ranmiao's face, and he was very close to Xia Jingyan, forcing Xia Jingyan to retreat.

"But that's not my fault!" Zhou Ranmiao roared.

Xia Jingyan sobbed quietly, and indeed, at this time, what other choice did she have than crying?

"Shut up!" However, this was also reprimanded by Zhou Ranmao.

Xia Jingyan was frightened and quickly covered his mouth.

After a long time, Zhou Ranmiao seemed to have relented.

"Okay, don't cry." Zhou Ranmiao gently hugged Xia Jingyan in his arms, "If you go with me obediently, I will retire, Zhou Guo and Ming Xia will be friends, and I will no longer take care of the resentment for many years, I just want to compensate you to me, my life is enough." ”

"Do I still have a choice...... Xia Jingyan was still choked.

But Zhou Ranmiao really couldn't take a step back, he had a cold face and said softly: "No." ”

There was silence in the imperial tent for a long time.

"Yan'er, let me tell you my previous story, the previous Xia Wangfu was all a lie, now I just want to tell you the truth, I really can't bear such pain alone."

Xia Jingyan nodded slightly, Zhou Ranmiao pulled Xia Jingyan to lie down on the couch together, he sighed first, and then slowly spoke.

The moon stars are scarce, and the blood is dark.

"The four rivers are in chaos, the world is in turmoil, Emperor Yuan of Dongjiang broke the border pass, betrayed the peace treaty, broke my Nanjiang Zhou State Xunzhou, and my whole clan was driven to this Yihe ...... where materials are scarce."

Fifteen years ago, Yihe

Zhou Ranmao is just eight years old, it is the age of playfulness and activity, he doesn't understand the difficulties of his family and country, he only knows that his father said: "Boy, if you are active, you have a spirit, play!" Go crazy! So he ran round and round on the plain by the Yi River, and dozens of subordinates could not catch him.

"Hey! Ay! Nine Emperors, be careful! Don't fall! Cui's mother couldn't stop chasing after her skirt, her voice was almost hoarse, and Zhou Ranmiao didn't slow down.

"Slightly! Old witch, old witch! This prince can't fall, you be careful that you fall! Zhou Ranmiao turned around and grimaced.

"Ouch, you little slippery head!" Cui's mother is still chasing after her.

Laughter echoed across the shameful Yihe grassland.

The massacre was in the afternoon, this was the scene of noon, and Zhou Ranmao never imagined that the changes in one day would be so extreme.

Emperor Zhou sighed in the barracks, on his left was the eldest prince Zhou Ling'an and the third prince Zhou Yanbing, on the right was Xun King Gu Yuan, and around him were a group of generals, all of whom were staring at the map that was splashed with blood, and also listening to Emperor Zhou's sigh.

"Father, the Yuan army is still chasing, and King Xia's private soldiers are also eyeing him, so it's really not possible to go to Beijiang to help." Zhou Ling'an's eyes were full of worry.

"Emperor Qi, arrogant, but bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, now that Emperor Yuan is powerful and King Xia is dominant, do you really think he is willing to help us? I don't want to avoid it. Emperor Zhou's beard shook.

"Not to mention the Xijiang side, Emperor Chu ordered to recuperate, and no more wars are allowed, so he will not help us fight against Emperor Yuan, father, the remaining strength of the Zhou army is only 150,000, and the remaining 150,000 are old and weak women and children or children, we ...... Still fighting? Zhou Yanbing frowned.

"I don't want to fight, what can I do, this Emperor Yuan is here to destroy my Zhou Kingdom." Emperor Zhou only sighed, but he was helpless.

didn't know that Zhou Ranmiao sneaked to the imperial tent with Zhou Jiuli.

"Dye, what are my father and brother talking about? I haven't seen my father out of the emperor's tent for a few days, didn't he say that he brought us to play? Why didn't my father come out of the emperor's account? Zhou Jiuli whispered, and his little hand also held Zhou Ranmiao's little hand.

"I don't know, maybe...... Do you want to surprise us? Listen to it! Zhou Ranmiao smiled excitedly and put his ear to the imperial tent.

"Ling An, Yan Bing." The voice of Emperor Zhou came from the tent.

"Yes." "Yes."

Zhou Lingan and Zhou Yanbing answered one after another.

"The situation is ...... I believe that my father will not say it, and you will also know that you two are elder brothers, if it is true at that time...... You can run away with your younger brothers and sisters, and this is the last thing your father can do for you......"

"Father, the emperor can't!"

"Father! How can a retainer abandon you! Please ask your father to take back his ......"

As expected, Zhou Lingan and Zhou Yanbing opposed one after another.

"That'...... Yuan Er ...... "Emperor Zhou turned to Gu Yuan again.

"Erchen can't do it......" Gu Yuan is the same.

Outside the tent, Zhou Jiuli and Zhou Ranmao looked puzzled.

"Dyeing, what run? What does my father want the emperor to take us on? Zhou Jiuli leaned over to Zhou Ranmiao and asked.

"Hmm......" Zhou Ranmiao lowered his head and pondered, and suddenly had an idea, "Let's run a horse!" My father asked the emperor to take us to play, but my father didn't go by himself, so the emperor said that we should not leave my father alone.

"Oh, I see." Zhou Jiuli nodded and said.
