In the forty-first year of the summer calendar, there was a great drought in the north, and the wars with Dile were more frequent.

Due to the perennial conquest and defense, the border has strong soldiers and elite generals, but in Gyeonggi, there is an imbalance of power in the court, and civilian officials are generals, and the contradictions are intensified, and there are many mistakes and omissions.

Daxia also adopted the military system of the government, and the local situation is very easy to raise soldiers and accumulate wealth, and the tail is too big to fall, and it has long become a worry for the royal family.

In the autumn of the same year, the king of Nanhuai rebelled, killed the Xia Emperor, and established his son Yiyong as the emperor.

In October, King Changyi launched a mutiny in the name of protecting the country and rebelling, and the officials of the prefectures and counties along the way were unexpectedly changing, and easily took the important places of the pass and approached Gyeonggi.

The king of Nanhuai was suppressed by him and defected to the south.

Emperor Yong was forced to abdicate, and he planned to give up to King Changyi and change the name of the country to Zhou.

Soon after, Emperor Yong hanged himself in a small building and died.

On the eve of King Changyi's accession to the throne, he was unexpectedly assassinated and succeeded by his son Min Yan. King Changying acted as regent and took the important task of supervising the country.

The rumors are all about the evil intentions of the remnants of the previous dynasty.

Since then, the henchmen of the former dynasty have been bloodbathed and killed, and the nine clans have been connected, setting off a bloody storm in Gyeonggi.

But because of such iron-blooded and ruthless methods, the peace and order on the surface of Gyeonggi were quickly restored.

As a result, the loyal soldiers of the previous dynasty secretly established the Great Xia Guild in an attempt to restore the country.

On the day when the king of Nanhuai raised troops to besiege the palace, the palace was already in chaos.

Except for the eunuchs and maidservants who were loyal to Emperor Xia, the rest took advantage of the chaos to plunder the treasures and money in the palace and fled in a hurry.

Even the overturned candlestick burned half of the temple, and no one cared, allowing the burning fire to fill the sky with black smoke.

"Princess ......"

It is only half a mile away from Gyeonggi in a ruined temple.

The young man squatting in front of him always had clear eyebrows, black and dark clothes, like a silent shadow in the middle of the night.

Since she was sent to the inner court by her father at the age of eleven, she became the secret guard of the eldest princess of Great Xia, and her long-term companionship has already made Shu Yang willing to become her shadow and be inseparable.

I really never thought that one day the royal court would overturn and come so suddenly.

Shu Yang gave the order of the queen of summer, and after forcibly taking the eldest princess away from the palace, she kept looking at the direction of Jingzhong outside the temple like a puppeteer, hugging her knees and saying nothing.

Shu Yang handed over two pieces of dry food, choked his throat bitterly, and said softly, "Eat something." ”

If it was in the past, Shu Yang would not have taken out such a crude food and presented it to her, and she was very ashamed.

But now it's not what it used to be, and this is the best he can do now.

Shu Yang kept his head down until the dry food in his hand was taken over, and a fluttering flame flashed in his eyes, and he looked up cautiously.

The girl in front of her ate the bread in her hand without saying a word, drank the cold water in the bag, and looked directly at the only surviving secret guard for the first time.

The rest died on the way out of the palace.

"I have no country and no home. In the future, you don't have to swear to serve me anymore, go back and be an ordinary person. ”

Go back and be a normal person......

It was already a great luxury, and I thought about it day and night.

And now...... Shu Yang just knelt down firmly, with perseverance like iron, bowed his head and said sonorously: "The subordinates will always be by the princess's side." ”

"Never give up."

…

On the eve of returning to Beijing, Shi Qing had just returned to Taishou Mansion, but she didn't expect to hear the news that she had captured a former traitor who had attempted assassination in her courtyard.

The appearance is the same as that on the wanted portrait.

Fortunately, on this day, she and Chu Qi went out late and escaped a catastrophe.

But how could there be such a coincidence...... That person is Shu Yang!

If he wants to hide in Beicang City for a while, and then take advantage of the chaos to get out of the city, it will be easy for Shu Yang to do so.

But he threw himself into the net.

Like a moth to a fire, desperate.

As the murderer of General Wei, he should be beheaded according to the law, and Chu Qi temporarily detained Shu Yang in the dungeon of Taishoufu.

Shu Yang did not make any demands, nor did he make any resistance.

When questioned by the censors, he was silent.

It was only before dawn on the second day that the prison guard reported that Shu Yang had committed suicide by taking poison in prison, and the poison was hidden in his teeth.

What Shu Yang did is really incomprehensible.

Why did he come?

And why do you work in vain?

I am afraid that the reasons for this will never be known again.

The next day, when Xiao Man was combing Shi Qing's hair, he found a phoenix-tailed jade hairpin with exquisite workmanship in the makeup, which was ingenious and emerald.

"Madam, why does it seem to have an extra phoenix hairpin?"

Xiao Manwu muttered to himself: "When did the general come and secretly give it to his wife, right?" Madame, do you want to wear it? ”

Shi Qing glanced at it when he heard this, but he was not impressed.

"Let it go."

The eyebrows and eyes of the girl in the bronze mirror are clear, like the mist and snow of the cold mountains. The unadorned gold hairpin hosta is still naturally beautiful and generous.

…

The Great Xia Guild in Beijing is already at the end of its life.

accompanied his relatives, took the opportunity to assassinate, and did his best to fight to the death.

Who knew that the eldest princess of Great Xia, who was the backbone of the main heart, has now defected and enjoyed the glory and wealth of the General's Mansion.

The Great Xia Guild has long been unstable and falling apart, just one step away.

The last order Shu Yang accepted was to assassinate the traitor, the eldest princess of Great Xia.

She has no regard for the glory of restoring the country, nor the subjects of Great Xia behind her. Damn it!

Damn it!

Shu Yang is hate.

What he hated was not that she betrayed Daxia and forgot the mission of restoring the country, but that she ...... Betray him!

That feeling of being betrayed made Shu Yang really feel that the end of the world was big, and he had nowhere to go and no place to rely on.

But he couldn't do it......

Just like confronting her that night, seeing each other in short arms, Shu Yang was willing to accept her sword, and he didn't want the sword to hurt her in the slightest.

When he was young, Shu Yang once stole a phoenix-tailed hairpin from the eldest princess, and hid it in the shadows as a shadow despicable heart.

Now it's back to you.

I'm willing to protect you one last time, my princess.

- Shu Yang.
