Ziling's nails were deeply embedded in the palm, and his tone gradually revealed a gritted hatred and a bit of sadness.

The Emperor and the Shadow are both the Lord and the Father, both of whom are people whom Ah Ying respects very much. However, they took advantage of Ah Ying's respect and trust in them, and did not hesitate to extract the truth from Ah Ying through coaxing and inducement, putting Ah Ying in a place of disloyalty and injustice, so that he had been living in self-blame and guilt all these years.

She once asked Ah Ying if she regretted choosing to save her and tell the truth.

At that moment, Ah Ying only nodded, and then shook his head again.

What made Ah Ying regret was the attitude and actions of the emperor after telling the truth. Even if the master was alive, the emperor still forced him into a desperate situation, and completely broke the master's desire to be honest with Miss Lin after learning that he could still live.

A thought can see the light again, a thought falls into the abyss again, the master can only choose to silently guard, looking at the old man in the midst of many dangers.

But if the years can be looked back, Ah Ying will still choose to tell the truth.

Although Ah Ying knows the importance of Miss Lin to her master, in Ah Ying's heart, her master's life and the future of the country are far more important than everything else. Even if Ah Ying knew that what his father said could not be trusted, even if he knew that telling the truth would hurt Miss Lin, even if his master would blame him in the future, as long as he could save his master, even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he would not give up. It was the master's choice to give the Yingfu grass to Miss Lin, and he had no right to interfere, and when he learned that the master's life was hanging in the balance, he chose to tell the truth in exchange for the master's life, which was also his choice. The master has no remorse, and so does he.

Ziling can understand the Shadow's distress, and of course she feels sorry for everything that the Shadow bears, but the damage caused by this choice to the master and Miss Lin in the future is also a fact and cannot be repaired.

Ziling closed her eyes, suppressed the surging tears, and took a deep breath: "When the master wakes up, everything has settled and he has no power to turn around." When the emperor learned the truth, he was furious and even more angry at his master's disregard for his own life and leaving his mission and responsibility behind. When the master was seriously injured and did not recover, the emperor did not care about the relationship between father and son, and ordered the master to be flogged secretly as a warning and punishment. The master has been whipped alive and is almost dying, but the emperor did not let the master go. He actually forced his master to go back to Beiluo Shimen to take Miss Lin's heart to eradicate the poison of the seven evils in his body, otherwise, he would unite the power of the four countries to make Beiluo Shimen never have peace, and Miss Lin, who grew up in Beiluo Shimen, would also hate her master because of the hatred of the country and the family. ”

Located at the junction of Shikoku, it is the hinterland of the fortress, and it is impossible to say that Shikoku has no covetousness for this place. However, since the Great War of the Four Kingdoms, the first lord of the Beiluo Division Gate has spent decades repairing and transforming the Beiluo Division, making the Beiluo Division Gate an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack city. What's more, there are many knights in the city, countless martial arts masters, and there are many strange people in the city guard, if they attack rashly, regardless of the impregnable defense of this city, it is unknown whether there will be another big war between the four countries because of the ownership of this city. Besides, the successive city lords who guarded the Beiluo Division Gate were all benevolent, benevolent, and chivalrous men with a common heart, and they had a high reputation in the hearts of the people of various countries and martial arts warriors.

So for hundreds of years, the four countries have been waiting and watching, and no one wants to be this bird. They even sent the children of the royal family to Beiluo Shimen to practice martial arts, which seemed to be a show of goodwill, but only they knew how many conspiracies and calculations were hidden in it.

But if Dongchen is willing to give up the ownership of the Beiluo Division, and is willing to become the first bird to attack the Beiluo Division, then the situation will be different. As long as the Beiluo Division can be slightly injured, it can be used to radicalize the other three countries, and then thread the needle through it, even if the other three countries will not send troops easily, they will also be eyeing it, and the Beiluo Division may not have a peaceful day.

Thinking of this, Ziling was even more sad and indignant in her heart. Not only was he moved by the deep affection of the master for Miss Lin, but he also felt helpless and sad for the two who were divided by fate, and he was indignant at everything that the shadow had suffered, and he was even more resentful of the emperor's unscrupulous persecution.

She knew that the master was not afraid that Miss Lin would hate him, and if he could exchange Miss Lin for a peaceful life, even if Miss Lin hated him, he would be willing to do so. But he was afraid that he would not be able to protect Miss Lin, and he was even more afraid that Miss Lin would eventually be buried because of him, or that he would never lose peace because of him, and he might even end up with a ruined city. Either way, it is an unbearable pain for the master.

Ziling tried his best to suppress the sorrow in his chest, calmed down his emotions, and continued: "Although the master was a prince at that time, compared with the first emperor, he was weak and could not compete with the first emperor at all. But even though the emperor repeatedly forced him, the master refused to hurt Miss Lin in the slightest, and finally did not hesitate to fight with Dongchen's future with his own life, which made the emperor temporarily dispel this idea. ”

In order to protect Miss Lin, in order to make the emperor give up the idea of hurting Miss Lin, and in order to pave the way for Miss Lin, the master had to deceive the emperor, saying that the past four years in Beiluo Shimen have not been nothing. He learned from Miss Lin that the first city lord of the Beiluo Shimen had left a secret treasure, which not only stored many rare treasures, but also a elixir that could cure all kinds of poisons. The first lord sealed the key to open the vault in a jewel and passed the secret to the successive lords, so that if the four kingdoms fell into war again one day, the Beiluo Shimen could rely on these treasures to find another place to live. In order to prevent future generations from having different intentions, the first city lord handed over this jewel to the monarch of Nanling Kingdom, who had a good relationship with him at that time, but the monarch of Nanling did not know the secret in his orb, and only passed on the jewel as a token of friendship. That jewel is the current national treasure of Nanling Kingdom - Canghai Pearl.

Ziling also learned later that when the master went to Beiluo Shimen to practice martial arts, in fact, martial arts had already been above Ah Ying, and in order to hide from the Lord of Shen City, the master had to let Ah Ying seal the acupoint with a silver needle every month, so that he had hidden the front for four years. The reason why the emperor let the master go to Beiluo Shimen to practice martial arts was to let the master find objects and explore information in Beiluo Shimen. As for what it is, neither she nor Ah Ying knows.

Ziling only knew that the master and the former emperor had a secret conversation in the palace for a long time that day, and no one knew the content. And what Ziling knew was revealed by the master later, and she and Ah Ying pieced it together piecemeal piecemeal. But Ziling knows very well that it is not enough to make the first emperor compromise and make concessions, the content of the conversation between the master and the first emperor that day is by no means limited to this, perhaps the secret that the master has kept in her heart is the focus of this secret conversation.
