『Volume 2: The Golden Scroll』 "Xia Kexing" Chapter 31 The Real Princess

Xiao Shaoqian smiled playfully at Yinxia, "Do you need us to avoid it?"

"Not necessarily. Yinxia said proudly, "There is nothing unpleasant about what I want to ask. ”

Xiao Shaoqian summoned Xiao Yin, "This time, you have to explain the matter, and there must be no more misinterpretations." ”

Xiao Yin said solemnly: "Yes, my subordinates understand." ”

Xiao Shaoqian and Gongzi retreated to the side.

Yinxia slowly walked up to Xiao Yin and asked word by word: "Above the teahouse, why do you treat me like that?"

Xiao Yin looked at her with complicated eyes, and said, "Because I was on business at the time, I can't entangle with you too much." And I've found the real princess, and I deserve to be a severant with my wrong past. ”

"You mean, she's your real princess?" Yinxia felt a pain in her heart, gritting her teeth to meet his gaze.

"Yes. Xiao Yinwei hesitated, and then said, "Back then, my father and brother had served King Liang. King Liang was benevolent, dismissed the generals, suspended the army for farming, and my father and brother deeply felt that they had met the master. Later, the Tang soldiers besieged Kyoto, and my father, brother and generals brought more than 100,000 troops to help, but it was a pity that it was three days late. When the soldiers arrived, they only saw the air and air warships going down the river, and the king of Liang had already left the city to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Later, I heard that Li Yuan'er actually put on a victor's face when he surrendered, and reprimanded King Liang with a fierce voice. The king of Liang did not humble or arrogantly puncture his hypocrisy, he said: 'Sui lost its deer, heroes competed, and there was no destiny, so this is it. It is also south of the field, not negative Han Dynasty. If you think it is a sin, you are willing to obey it. Such an open mind is unparalleled. Li Yuan was speechless and beheaded King Liang in Chang'an East City. Later, most of the generals of the Liang Dynasty descended to the Tang Dynasty, and my father and brother and I were unwilling to surrender to them, so we avoided the Western Regions, and I was the only one who finally reached the Western Regions alive. Now that I know that the princess is still alive, I have the last wish of my father and brother, and I should follow her. ”

Yinxia was silent, with mixed feelings in her heart. Those affectionate gazes that he once thought were just looking at his real princess through himself?...... Unfortunately, she wasn't his real princess. It turned out that it wasn't her who he had been silently watching.

After being silent for a while, Xiao Yin said in a low voice: "Your father treats me very well, but...... Just you and I have never known each other. ”

Haven't you ever met? Yinxia's heart seemed to set off a huge wave. Back then, he saved her life and passed on her martial arts, but she wanted to perform the teacher's ceremony, but he refused, and only humbled himself as a guard. Now that I think about it, he was trying to be incognito, and the other was to get out. After more than ten years of getting along, I once thought it would last forever. Now you know that no one can always be by your side.

"Is the princess done asking?" Seeing that the two had been speechless, Xiao Shaoqian asked each other from afar.

Yinxia came back to her senses and nodded slightly at her. That's it, what's the point of saying more. But can it really be treated as if they had never known each other, as he said?

Xiao Shaoqian walked slowly in front of her and said solemnly: "Then I also want to ask the princess a question." ”

"You ask. Yinxia suppressed many emotions in her chest.

"What I want to ask the princess is, between the clan and personal private affairs, which thing will the princess prioritize?"

Yinxia's heart froze, and she replied without hesitation: "Clansmen." ”

"Yes, I really have the bearing of a princess, and it is not in vain that I cooperate with you. Xiao Shaoqian nodded and praised, "As the third prince said, now I have financial resources, and the princess has soldiers in her hands, if you and I join forces, ......."

Yinxia interrupted unceremoniously: "Gaochang has no strength to fight. ”

"I still know Gao Chang's strength. Xiao Shaoqian smiled faintly, "My conditions are very simple, I pay a lot of money, and I don't play the banner of Gaochang, I just treat it as a mercenary." I wonder if the princess will be able to agree to such a condition?"

Yinxia thought about it in her heart, and her eyes were hesitant. Such conditions are indeed very beneficial to Gao Chang, and if Serku is here, he will definitely agree to her. Is it really good to just work with her?

Xiao Shaoqian saw her hesitation, and said with a smile: "The princess doesn't have to rush to reply, the stakes are very high, it is better to make a decision after consulting with the clansmen." ”

Yinxia hesitated for a moment and nodded cautiously.

After the two sides finished talking, Xiao Yin sent Yinxia and Gongzi Ye back to the carriage.

Yinxia had something in her heart, and she was speechless all the way. When Xiao Yin opened the car door again, the car had already carried the two back to the streets of Guanhui City.

Yinxia was about to bow her head and leave, when Xiao Yin suddenly called her.

Yinxia turned around.

Xiao Yin glanced sharply at Gongzi Ye, and said to her: "The Central Plains is not as good as the Western Regions, most of the people here are cunning, you are pure by nature, you must not trust others." ”

Childe Ye sneered when she heard this, "Even if you are cunning, it is better than believing someone who has betrayed her." ”

Xiao Yin's pupils shrank, and he pointed to Gongzi Ye and said bluntly to Yinxia: "This person's identity is complicated, I advise you not to have anything to do with him." ”

"What's wrong with having a relationship with my son?" Childe raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "At least this son won't do anything so ruthless that it will make a woman sad." ”

Xiao Yin raised his head suddenly, and his cold eyes shone straight through.

The corners of Childe's mouth curled slightly, and there was a cold mockery in his narrowed eyes.

The two looked at each other, their eyes intersecting like swords.

After a few moments, Xiao Yinhuo turned to leave.

Childe's head was raised lightly, and a hint of pride flashed in his eyes. When he turned his face and saw Yinxia's dark face, his face also darkened. Without saying a word, he silently followed her and walked slowly along the street with her.

At this moment, the sun is about to set, and the sky is full of dark clouds, which appear darker and darker.

Yinxia walked aimlessly towards the last sunset, and the heartache that she had endured just now came like a river and a sea.

How many times have I watched the sunrise and sunset with him, and I once thought that this was forever, but now it has become a memory that will never return.

Although I never talked about it to him, it was precisely because of this that the emotions that were deeply buried in my heart would ferment again and again.

In the past, she had illusory hopes. And today, he gave her a deep knife that is difficult to repair. He made it abundantly clear that he wanted to make a break with the wrong past, and this wrong past contained the wrong her.

Her heart was numb with pain, and the boundless bitterness seemed to devour her. In fact, she should have understood that with her and his identity, it is impossible to have a future in any way.

The cool wind blew, and a few strands of rain fell sporadically in the sky. Yinxia closed her eyes and looked up, meeting the tiny coldness.

Life can never stay in the most beautiful moment, just like this sky, it will show a sunny and beautiful moment, but I don't know when it suddenly changes.

...... Many things have only now come to the realization that those illusory hopes are nothing but self-righteous naivety and naivety. Who can accompany whom forever.

There was a long sigh from beside her, and she was taken into a warm embrace.

This time, Yinxia didn't push him away. The irrepressible clammy cold in my heart can't be driven away even by the summer heatwave. Even if it's unreal, I want to draw a little warmth.

The woman in her arms was trembling slightly, and Gongziye's heart suddenly swelled with a pity that she had never felt before. Put away its claws, this fanged beast was nothing more than a wounded kitten.

"In that case, I was, as he said, as I had never known each other. The light rain drifted into Yinxia's eyes, and the flickering brought out the water.

Closing her eyes slightly, her voice was extremely soft but unusually firm, "Even if it's just me, let the whole clan live a happy life!"

Childe's dark eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but tilt slightly. Oops, still scorned her. Even at times like these, she hasn't forgotten her responsibilities. How could she be a kitten growing up on the Gobi? Obviously, she is a tenacious and unyielding leopard. In time, he may become a real leopard king. Xiao Yin, Xiao Yin, maybe I should thank you.

"I'm here, how can you be alone?" a very gentle look appeared on his face, but his tone was light, "What are your plans for Xiao Shaoqian's proposal?"

Xiao Yin's previous words were not wrong. Yinxia pursed her face and broke free from his arms, "Gao Chang needs to recuperate, and he can't start a rebellion again." Although there are still some troops, they can only be used to protect the clan and settle down, and they should not be lightly challenged. With the words, the bitterness in my heart swelled up again. Now that he has another master, he no longer thinks about the safety of his people.

Childe raised his eyebrows slightly, and a look of approval flashed in his eyes, "So, you're not going to accept her proposal?"

"If she just wants to hire a few samurai with a lot of money and good conditions, it's not impossible to agree. Yinxia thought for a moment and said cautiously, "But in terms of Xiao Shaoqian's identity, what she is trying to do is probably not a good thing." My father still has lessons from the past, and there are some things that must not be involved. No matter how much silver taels there is, it can't bring back the peace of the whole clan. ”

Childe Ye stared at her, his gaze becoming deeper and deeper, "If you accept her proposal, you can get the silver taels for this emergency immediately." That way, you don't have to follow me to be your most hated thief. ”

"Of course I'll go with you. Yinxia glanced at him coldly, "This is what I promised you, do you treat me as a dishonest liar? ”

"Okay!" Childe smiled at night, his eyes rippling, "Then without further ado, let's go and prepare what we need." Narrowing his smile, his eyes flashed with indescribable determination: what should be done must come to an end. It's time for him to get serious, too.

The day has fallen, and no matter what happens, it will pass away.

Night falls, and the moment that belongs to him is just around the corner.

Liang Wang Xiao Milling in Yi Zhen's eyes

When he was young, he came from a poor family, loved to read, was filial, and was a standard good boy.

When he was young, he became Luo Chuanling, generous, and famous, and he was a good young man who was young and promising.

When the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty was chaotic, Dong Jingzhen, the leader of the rebel army, found him and elected him as the leader, and he readily agreed, showing extraordinary bearing.

However, Dong Jingzhen just wanted to take advantage of his reputation as the great-grandson of Emperor Xuan of Later Liang and make him a puppet. He saw through his selfishness, but he didn't say anything about it, and he couldn't bear it. It was not until Dong Jingzhen was unfavorable in several battles that he proposed that Jiangnan was originally the homeland of the Liang Dynasty, and if the name of the Liang State could be restored, it would definitely be able to attract the heroes to join him. Dong Jingzhen followed the permission, and Xiao Mo took advantage of the situation to call himself Liang Gong and hold high the banner of Liang Guo. Under his fame, the states and counties in the south of the Yangtze River surrendered one after another, and the number of troops reached more than 400,000.

When the Liang Dynasty reverted to the old system, Xiao Mo found that the generals were arrogant and murderous, so he ordered them to stop their troops and let them go back to farming. Unfortunately, many generals did not want to be deprived of military rights and rebelled one after another. Xiao Mo had no choice but to kill one by one.

As a result, the Liang state weakened, and the Tang/army seized the opportunity to besiege the Liang capital Jiangling in one fell swoop. At this time, there were only a few thousand guards in Gangneung City, and most of the soldiers had been sent back to the fields by Xiao Miao. Hearing that the capital was trapped, the soldiers who were released back to the countryside hurriedly came to support. However, the territory of Liang is vast, and there is no way to rush to the rescue.

The army besieged the city, Xiao Mo said to his subordinates: "Heaven does not protect the Liang country, and the country has been destroyed several times, if we defend Jiangling to the death, and wait for the Tang army to break the city, we will definitely hurt the people in the city, how can we hurt the people because of me? While the two armies are not at war now, I will open the city and surrender, maybe we can avoid the rebellion and save the people." Even if you don't have me, you don't have to worry about not having a monarch. ”

The decision has been made, Xiao Mo gave an order, and the soldiers defending the city wept bitterly. After worshipping the ancestral temple, Xiao Milled to the Tang Dynasty. He said: "I am the only one who should be killed, Xiao Miao, the people are not guilty, please do not kill and plunder." ”

Xiao Milling was escorted to Chang'an and beheaded by Li Yuan at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve.

A few days later, more than 100,000 rescuers from Jiangnan rushed to arrive, but Xiao Mo had already surrendered, and the generals could only surrender to Tang.

In Yi Zhen's eyes, Xiao Milling, the king of Liang, has the courage of a natural emperor and the heart of benevolence and love for the people, but he has no imperial skills. Kill the generals prematurely and disband the soldiers when the overall situation is undecided. Then because of the bookish anger, he refused to give in.

However, it is precisely this scholarly spirit that can solve the misfortune of the people in the city with the life of one person, which makes people can't help but be enthusiastic and sigh for it.

History has always been written by the winners, but there are no real heroes among the losers!
