Chapter 16 Turning Enemies Against Others

"I heard Yu'er say, Seventh Uncle, you and Xue Youyou were close friends when they were young, and they often talked about literature and martial arts together, horse racing and hunting, and even once you carried the emperor behind your back, secretly hid Xue Youyou in the army, and took her to the north to defend against the enemy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 But after that expedition to the north, you and Xue Youyou suddenly turned against each other, and later developed into a life-and-death struggle, so that you have been hunted down by her for so many years. What happened on that trip to the North that caused you to form such a deep hatred?" asked Haoxing Mingrui inquiringly.

Xiao Tianjue was stunned when he heard this, and said: "It seems that what you said before is indeed the truth, Yu'er didn't tell you everything, I think that the kid still wants to save more face for me, a master, in front of you." ”

Haoxing Mingrui couldn't help but say aggrievedly: "Seventh Uncle, do you think that your nephew is a good person who likes to listen to other people's secrets? I didn't ask Yu'er much at the beginning, just because I thought it didn't matter at that time. But now, in order to rescue Yu'er as soon as possible, I have to turn to a person who is close to Xue Youyou, because I need to understand the root cause of your grudge with Xue Youyou, and I can be more confident to persuade that person to help me rescue Yu'er. ”

Xiao Tianjue waved his hand, "That's it, that's it, it's just that Yu'er is very similar to you at this point, everything will only be held in your heart, and she will never say it happily! Alas, it's no wonder that you have experienced many hardships since you were a child, and if your mind is still pure, I'm afraid you won't be able to live today! But I, an old man, often seem to be as anxious as a child in front of you juniors, and I really haven't grown at all. ”

Haoxing Mingrui couldn't help but smile and said: "Uncle Seventh has a straightforward personality and is also vigorous and resolute, and he was called 'General Fire' on the battlefield in the past. I remember that my father used to call you Haoxing Agnihuo, and once I also screamed, and you beat my ass and warned me with a straight face that I should not tell my father, otherwise, you would eat all the candied fruit that my mother made for me, and you would not keep a piece for me. And my mother often told me not to always grab food from you, saying that I was afraid that if you got angry, it would really catch fire......"

Hearing Haoxing Mingrui mention those long past events, Xiao Tianjue's eyes unconsciously showed a look of memory, and there was a soft smile with a little sentimentality on his face.

"I am the youngest son of the first emperor, and since I was a child, I have been spoiled by my father and mother, and I have always been indulgent and willful, and I never know the height of the sky. And the sixth brother is kind and generous, and attaches great importance to affection and righteousness, compared to my eldest brother who is a fellow mother, he treats me kindly, so my relationship with the sixth brother is also the most intimate, much closer than with several other princes. It is precisely because of this that I was bold at that time that I dared to take the risk of making the sixth brother angry, blatantly violated military regulations, and let Xue Youyou blend in with the expedition team, and went to Yongzhou with me to reinforce the sixth brother's northern army.

Originally, I let Xue Youyou blend into the army quite secretly, and I didn't find out for a long time by the sixth brother who was the commander of the Northern Army. Unexpectedly, in the following fierce battle with Beirong, the sixth brother, who had always taken the lead, fought against several enemy generals, but was accidentally shot in the back by a cold arrow flying from nowhere, and the situation was critical. When I saw this, I rushed forward desperately to help, but because of the distance, I was trapped by the enemy generals, and it was difficult to get out for a while. Fortunately, at this time, Xue Youyou, who had been pretending to be a soldier and hiding in the army, suddenly stepped forward and slashed two enemy generals with a sword, so as to solve the danger of the sixth brother.

But after this incident, the identity of the snowy woman could no longer be hidden. The sixth brother, who had always been gentle, was furious and taught me a hard lesson, in addition to beating me with forty military sticks according to the military law, he also ordered me to immediately escort Xue Youyou back to Jingyang. Although I have always been lawless, I am most afraid of this fair and strict sixth brother, and in desperation, I have no choice but to coax and persuade the land, and bring Xue Youyou, who is extremely reluctant to leave, back to the capital.

Originally, if this matter had ended here, Xue Youyu wouldn't have blamed me much. But who knew that the sixth brother actually submitted all the reasons for this matter to his father, and the father was furious, and immediately issued an order to reprimand the sixth brother for not governing the army strictly and dereliction of duty. For me, my father did not punish me too severely, and after reprimanding me in person, he ordered me to be grounded in the house for half a year. And Xue Youyou, who was also locked up in the helm of the Loyalty League by her father Xue Pinghao, was not allowed to go out for a long time.

Half a year later, when I met Xue Youyou again, her attitude towards me had completely changed, and it could be described as cold. At the beginning, I took her to the army at her request, but I was not only severely punished by the sixth brother, but also imprisoned me by my father for half a year.

I was still an eighteen-year-old boy at the time, and I had always been as impatient as I was, and I was already angry, and I couldn't help but speak in a heavier tone, and asked her why she treated me like this. And Xue Youyou is two years younger than me, and she is also rude and willful on weekdays, and she accused me of complaining to my father about the sixth brother and her, and her words were fierce, not giving me the slightest chance to speak.

I was very annoyed by her unwarranted accusations, and even turned my face with her. Unexpectedly, she was also very angry with me, and accidentally, she actually confided her sincere words. It turned out that she had long been fond of my sixth brother, which encouraged me to take her to the north to meet him. She thought that it was because I saw her thoughts, so I deliberately sabotaged it, causing her to be locked up in Beijing, and never had the opportunity to see the sixth brother again, and even more so that the sixth brother was reprimanded by his father, and ordered him not to return to Beijing without an edict.

Hearing her words, I was really annoyed and jealous, I lost my mind for a while, and even recognized all this in one fell swoop - I just deliberately let her be punished and grounded, I just wanted to let her and Sixth Brother never see each other again.

Hearing her crying and scolding me for being despicable and shameless, I only felt like a knife in my heart at the time, but I still held on to myself, and deliberately laughed at her proudly a few times before turning around and walking away......

After this incident, I swore to heaven that I would never see Xue Youyou again. But who knew that just a year later, she and I met again in the palace, and at that time, I was ordered to lead thousands of forbidden troops to besiege the sixth brother and dozens of his hidden tribes in the Donghua Gate——"

Speaking of this, Xiao Tianjue's lips trembled and stopped.

Haoxing Mingrui also lowered his head with a painful face, "Under that situation, Seventh Uncle, you have no choice-"

"Of course I still have a choice! I could have chosen to die with the sixth brother under the chaotic arrows-," Xiao Tianjue's voice became hoarse, "but I didn't do it! The scene of that day still appears in my dreams from time to time -- at that moment, the forbidden army with the arrows wound all fixed their eyes on my raised right hand; Xue Youyou, who was restrained by her father, could only stare at me with her eyes; but I turned my gaze to the sixth brother...... As a result, the sixth brother suddenly smiled at me!--To this day, I don't know what happened to me at that time! I only remember that by the time I came to my senses, the sixth brother had fallen at my feet covered in blood......

"It's soul chasing," Haoxing Mingrui said in a dumb voice, "It was my father's soul chasing smile that made Uncle Seven lose his mind at that moment, and waved his hand to give the order to release the arrow!"

Xiao Tian's eyes widened sharply, and he was speechless for a long time, and suddenly, he buried his face deep between his palms and cried bitterly......
