On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!

After saying this, the young man rushed forward to snatch the beggar's bowl.

The beggar was so scared that he huddled together. As the two fought for the bowl, it fell to the ground with a bang.

The porridge in the bowl also scattered all over the floor, but the beggar hurriedly knelt on the floor, picked up some of the rice grains, and hastily stuffed them into his mouth.

He was very hungry.

"You are such a fool! I will beat you to death today and eat your flesh!"

The young man's eyes turned red and he clenched his fists and waved them at the beggar.

Seeing the young man's red eyes, everyone retreated. Now, whoever went forward would be beaten to death by the young man.

If you want to blame someone, you can only blame the beggar for his bad luck.

At that moment, a figure came forward and grabbed the young man's hand.

The young man was startled for a moment, then he raised his head, snorted with a ferocious face: "Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you stop your grandfather? Well, then I will grant your wish and let the two of you accompany each other on the road to the underworld!"

Just as the young man finished saying those harsh words, he heard a snap.

Then he felt pain in his wrist and screamed, but he no longer had the strength to resist.

Cen Xiao flipped his arm and the young man fell heavily to the ground.

Not far away, soldiers who heard the noise came hurriedly over. Cen Xiao didn't care about that. He picked up the frightened beggar beside him and disappeared into the alley.

After finding a quiet place, Cen Xiao stopped.

The beggar came back to his senses and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you very much, thank you for saving my life."

This sound...

Although he looked much older, Cen Xiao was clearly anxious!

There was a glimmer in his eyes as he looked at the man in front of him, then he knelt on the ground: "I am Cen Xiao from the Zhenbei Marquisate, and I pay my respects to the eldest prince."

When no one was around, the man was cold at first, then he knelt down hurriedly: "You, what are you talking about, what about the eldest prince and the youngest prince."

Cen Xiao grabbed the beggar's arm and pushed aside the loose hair that covered his face. There were spots of mud on his dark face, but his appearance could not lie.

"Your Highness, your brows cannot lie."

As he finished speaking, tears flashed in Cen Xiao's eyes.

Seeing this, Ji Xunze said nothing more, but just nodded silently, looking at his old friend in front of him, tears slowly rolling down his cheeks.

"On the night of my father's death, my third brother started a coup to seize power. I was taken to a secret passage by the eunuch who was in charge of my father's affairs. I changed into eunuch's clothes and managed to escape."

Ji Xunze let out a long sigh and told everything that had happened.

"I thought my third brother would sit firmly on the throne, but unexpectedly, he was taken over by my fifth brother..." Ji Xunze frowned, and thinking back to what happened, he felt heartbroken.

He was too naive. In the royal family, there was no such thing as brotherly love and respect. They were just full of calculations and in the end, they would not hesitate to kill their brothers and sisters!

"During this period, many assassins were sent out from the capital. I fled all the way to the territory of Nanzhou, changed my name and gender, scratched my face with a tile, and put my shirt on a starving person. Only then did the assassins stop tracking me."

Ji Xunze let out a long sigh. Thinking back on this journey, it was really uncomfortable.

After hearing this, Cen Xiao also let out a long sigh.

"Your Highness, you have suffered." Cen Xiao frowned.

But then again, he whispered: "The late emperor passed away. Logically, you should have inherited the throne, Your Majesty..."

Before Cen Xiao could finish his words, Ji Xunze raised his hand and signaled him not to continue.

"Because of this throne, so many people have died tragically. I can't care about so many other things. If he, Ji Xunchuan, can make the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment, I will be willing to hand over this throne with both hands!"

Ji Xunze's eyes were firm. He had seen and heard a lot on his way south.

He also wanted to ask for some of the things.

But seeing Ji Xunze like this, Cen Xiao felt really uncomfortable.

"Your Highness, you are such a prominent figure, yet you are being bullied here. Why don't you stay with me for a while? After the disaster in Nanzhou is over, I will send someone to take you to the Marquis' Mansion. With my father taking care of you, you can also recover."

Cen Xiao continued.

After the words fell, Ji Xunze frowned: "Cen Xiao, you and I have known each other since childhood, and I trust you, but now, I just want to live the life of an ordinary person."

Ji Xunze's mind was as clear as a mirror.

No matter how the Zhenbei Marquisate tried to stay out of the affairs, it was still an honorable lord in the court. If he went to the Marquisate, he might be involved in the disputes again one day.

On his way south, he suffered from illness, bandits and mountain robbers, and he had already put life and death aside.

If you can still see the mountains and rivers of Dacheng during your lifetime, you will die without regrets.

But Cen Xiao knew in his heart that it was impossible to let the people of the royal family fall to this state.

But he also knew something about Ji Xunze's personality, so now he could only go along with what he said.

In order to prevent what happened today from happening again, we must do something.

After returning from the alley, the onlookers had not left yet and the police were still waiting there.

"It's them, that big guy!" After seeing Cen Xiao, a voice came over.

Cen Xiao didn't say anything, but just walked forward with firm steps.

"Sir, I was the one who pointed it out first. Look, you just said to give me an extra bowl of porridge and rice for one night..." The man next to him smiled flatteringly.

The officer nodded, and after giving an order, someone beside him brought a bowl of porridge.

Cen Xiao was taken into the government office, but he didn't say anything else.

But after a short while, an official came to deliver the oral order.

"If there are still people fighting, they will be severely punished! Everyone is welcome to report it. Those who report it will receive an extra bowl of porridge!"

After this order was given, everyone was no longer as cautious as before.

Upon hearing that Cen Xiao was imprisoned, Shen Wantang rushed to the prison without stopping.

But Cen Xiao looked worried, and no one knew what he did during his half-day leave.

"Bring him out, our Lord will interrogate him personally!"

Qing'e straightened up and looked at the jailer beside her. It was the first time for her to deliver a message. Although she was a little timid in her heart, she still managed to save face.

When Cen Xiao was released from prison, Shen Wantang was waiting at the door.

"Come with me." Cen Xiao looked a little disappointed, and Shen Wantang saw it at a glance.

She didn't say anything, just spoke calmly.

After bringing Cen Xiao into the room, Shen Wantang spoke softly, "What crime did you commit?"

Cen Xiao slowly raised his head, a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Master Shen, do you really want to interrogate me?"

Shen Wantang coughed lightly and then said, "You beat the people of Nanzhou. Don't say you are a general. The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Confess the truth."

As soon as he finished speaking, the smile on Cen Xiao's face suddenly disappeared.

"What if ordinary people were to cause trouble and offend the people of the royal family, Lord Shen, how would you deal with it?"
