Rebirth of the Golden Bastard

Xia Yunqing was splashed with three bowls of water by Cang Qiao, and she woke up from the confusion after a while of trembling.

"Brother?" Xia Yunqing looked up at the serious man holding the bowl in confusion, and in the blink of an eye, Sikong Lang and others also looked at him.

"Why..." The memory of drunkenness suddenly broke into his mind. He seldom drank alcohol, and the number of times he got drunk was even more unique.Just now, he just pretended that he was in a dream, and the depression in his heart came out all at once.but don't want to...

Cang Qiao squinted at him, "What did you just say? What's going on?"

Xia Yunqing's face turned pale, Gu Xiao handed over a handkerchief, Xia Yunqing wiped his face with it, hesitating.

"I...that..."

Sikong Lang shouted anxiously, "Brother Yunqing! Why are you hiding such an important matter? Say it quickly!"

Cang Qiao sat next to her in her robe, and the bottom of the bowl hit the wooden table heavily, making Xia Yunqing nervous and desperate with a knock.

He then relayed what Fang Xing had said, all in front of him were trustworthy companions who lived and died together, and he was not hiding Mr. Qi's relationship with the royal family.After finishing speaking, everyone was silent, each seeing unspeakable shock in each other's eyes.

"Could it be that Mr. Seven used to be a member of the royal family?" Sikong Lang was puzzled, rubbing his chin to look at Cang Qiao's ring, "I've never heard anyone mention this thing in the palace, is it really important?"

Even Jiang Ji said while wiping his face: "Second Young Master, you will not be deceived, right?"

Xia Yunqing shook her head, "I don't think Fang Xing is telling a lie, and the story he told has no flaws given the current situation."

He turned his head to look at Xia Cangqiao, as if he was afraid that he would be overwhelmed or deeply shocked.But the person sitting next to him obviously didn't feel anything. Rather, he seemed to be in a better mood than ever before.

Xia Yunqing was a little puzzled, "Brother? Aren't you worried?"

"The problem I was most worried about is gone!" Cang Qiao laughed, and patted Xia Yunqing on the shoulder, "We are not blood brothers! It's really great, isn't it?! Oh, I've always been worried that our ban will be good. The end, I have been worrying about how to tell my parents, is it possible to maintain the underground party relationship for the rest of my life? Think about it, you will inherit the Xia family in the future, maybe your father will force you to marry, what will you do then? ? Am I robbing the bride? Oh, I will be embarrassed..."

Xia Cangqiao chattered endlessly, Xia Yunqing's head was full of black lines - what should I do, it seems that there is no need for me to worry about it for so long...

At the other end of the table, Sikong Lang and Titan ignored the two brothers and started discussing directly.

"Have you seen this ring?" Sikong Lang asked the titan.

The titan shook his head, "I have entered the palace many times with the young master, but I have never heard of it..."

The two were still discussing this issue, when the sparrow suddenly said: "More than 20 years ago, could it be that incident?"

Sikong Lang and Titan stopped to look at it, they both saw something in their eyes.Although Jiang Ji is from Jianghu, he also said: "If it is that matter, most of the people in Yilan know about it, right?"

Cang Qiao shut her mouth and looked around at the crowd, "What's the matter?"

Huaque said: "More than 20 years ago, the late emperor passed away, and the princes at that time made a lot of trouble in order to fight for the throne. That was the time when the civil strife in Yilan was the worst."

"I heard that the capital city of Yilan was bloodbathed at that time, and even many villages outside the capital city were not spared." Sikong Lang added.

The brave general also said: "After all, the late emperor had thirteen princes, and it was unusual to fight. Emperor Ren was the No.11 prince, and it is said that he is the orthodox prince, but in fact there are rumors that the imperial edict for succession was temporarily changed. "

Gu Xiao opened his eyes wide, "Where is this rumor? Why have you never heard of it?"

The brave general said: "It's just private rumors in the palace, these topics will never spread to the public anyway."

Sikong Lang also nodded, "I also heard from the third brother's nanny that the third prince, who has been locked up in the capital for more than 20 years, was also a victim at that time. He promised his father not to go out. If he stepped out of the house, One step, and the whole family will die."

Cang Qiao was startled when he heard that, although he knew more or less how ruthless the royal family was, he didn't know that brothers could be so ruthless.But thinking about it, it was also the same reason, those who peeped at the throne would end badly, the third prince was let off by someone as merciful as the Emperor Ren, and if it was someone else, it would be better to kill a tiger if it was a trouble.It also saves worrying about him competing with his own children in the future.

Thinking about it this way, the reason why the Ninth Prince gradually withdrew from the government is probably for this reason.Now that the emperor is at the critical moment of establishing a crown prince, it is best for him not to favor anyone, so as to save trouble.

Cang Qiao shook her head, "Things in the court are just annoying to hear."

Sikong Lang also nodded, and changed the topic: "That Mr. Qi, maybe someone who participated in it at that time. Although we know a thing or two about what happened back then, it is not complete. Maybe the emperor and the others know better."

Xia Yunqing almost subconsciously denied it: "No way!"

Cang Qiao smiled, stretched out her hand to pinch Xia Yunqing's fingers, and looked calm, "Don't worry so much, what Fang Xing said may not be right."

Xia Yunqing frowned, "But if..."

"If you want to kill me, it will be sooner or later. No one knows better than me how the Emperor Renhuang and the Ninth Prince treat me. I prefer to believe that they really don't want to kill me, rather than making up for it with guilt."

Xia Yunqing didn't say a word, but the words refusing to compromise were still written all over her face.Seeing that he was so persistent, Cang Qiao no longer insisted, and said: "Then let's not talk about it. Before meeting that mysterious gentleman, let's do what we have to do now."

……

News from the front keeps coming, it is said that the last line of defense is about to collapse and cannot hold on anymore.Sikong Lang and the generals continued to supervise the subsequent mountain bombing operations, as well as the transfer and embankment of all villages behind the valley.Fortunately, the old village head of a village rushed to Sikong Lang with a walking stick and told him that there was a long-abandoned small mountain road at the back of the village, leading to the branch of the Little Liusha River on the other side. Fork, so that the flood can be divided into two waves, which can reduce a lot of pressure.

All the projects are racing against time. After the news from here spread, Yingyou also replied that they would try their best to prevent the flood from bursting before the preparations here.

Mr. Park's letter was also attached. There were only a few simple lines on the letter, "Jinzhang fell, and the prince was imprisoned."

Cang Qiao put down the channel: "It seems that the plan can't keep up with the changes, Jin Zhang's second child has already gained power."

Sikong Lang also said: "The war is approaching. It's great that Uncle Nine Emperors can follow this time, maybe there will be a fight."

Cang Qiao took a long breath, "That Mister Seven has won the first round, but I can decide whether the second round can start." He touched the ring around his waist with his fingers, and he looked very different. Obviously frustrated and frustrated, but eager to try.

Sikong Lang was also aroused by a series of incidents to have a bloodthirsty fighting spirit. He was eager to go to the front line to defend against foreign enemies with his uncle.

While everyone was immersed in the incident between Yilan and Jinzhang, one person seemed extremely absent-minded.That person is Gu Xiao.

On this day, it seemed that the weather was fine again, and the absence of continuous rain eased the flood for a long time.Everyone in the tent went out to get busy, Gu Xiao changed Jiang Ji's medicine and fed him again. Seeing the man fell asleep exhausted, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood on the edge of the tent to look out.

The people gathered on the top of the mountain have been taken good care of by the officers and soldiers sent by Yingyou for the past few days, and the previous anxiety has also eased a lot.The military and civilian families are chatting with each other at this time.He frowned, and his eyes fell on a soldier who helped them communicate with the capital and the front line these days. A carrier pigeon was parked on his shoulder. The gray carrier pigeon was cooing and turning its head, with small eyes like mung beans, and fluttered its wings from time to time. , adjust the stance.

He was struggling.The Ninth Prince said that once he knew the relationship between the young master and Hanyue Palace, he would repay him.

Will the Ninth Prince harm the young master?A slight smile appeared on his calm face, as if saying, "Trust me, I will help you."

Gu Xiaoxiao's face was wrinkled into a bun, and her fingers tightly grabbed the edge of the tent curtain.explain?Did not say?explain?Did not say?

But if the young master is really in danger, if the emperor and the Ninth Prince really want to kill him, the Ninth Prince is so powerful, maybe he can ask the emperor to save the young master's life.

His heart was shaken violently, belief and doubt seemed to be tearing his heart apart like two strong and rough men.He thought of what Cang Qiao said about the ruthlessness of the royal family, and of the struggle for the throne, but the young master was clearly innocent... The Ninth Prince should understand.

Or beg him yourself, for the sake of doing so many things for him, to give him a hand when the young master is in danger?He didn't expect anything extravagantly, but such a little wish.

As if making up his mind, he was about to call out to stop the soldier when Jiang Ji's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Don't be stupid."

The voice was stuck in her throat, Gu Xiao turned her head in shock, and saw Jiang Ji struggling to get up, sitting cross-legged and looking at herself.

"What did you say?"

"If you don't want your eldest young master to die, and your second young master is in pain, then don't do stupid things."

Gu Xiao became flustered as if his mind had been crushed. He pinched his sleeves and said tremblingly, "You...you know what I'm going to do?"

"Probably know." Jiang Ji scratched his neck and said, "I found out from the day I set off that you and that Ninth Prince have a good relationship?"

"No..." Gu Xiao lowered his head, "How could a person like me have anything to do with the dignified prince?"

"Whatever." Jiang Ji waved his hand, "I've been watching you for a long time. You've always been paying attention to the conversation between Xia Cangqiao and Xia Yunqing, right? What order did that Ninth Prince give you? ?”

Gu Xiao bit her lip and remained silent.

Jiang Ji laughed and said: "I thought you were so loyal to your young master, but the result was nothing more than that. Xia Cangqiao is really pitiful. I was recruited halfway and didn't even want to betray him, but I was recruited by the most trusted one." Betrayal." He paused, showing a ambiguous smile, "Or, what kind of ecstasy soup did that Ninth Prince pour into you? Do you like him?"

Gu Xiao raised her face, Yuanyuan's cowardly face showed anger, like a kitten whose tail was stepped on: "Shut up! The Ninth Prince is not like that...he...he didn't want to plot against me!"

Jiang Ji stared at him for a while, then put away his teasing smile.Gu Xiao was a little scared for a while, and took a step back involuntarily. Jiang Ji was very serious when he was not smiling, and there was a fearful hostility in his eyebrows and eyes.

"I don't care what that Ninth Prince said or did to you, I just warn you, you can't believe a word that man said."

Gu Xiaoxiao's heart twitched, and he retorted subconsciously, "Why? You don't know him..."

"I don't need to understand him." Jiang Ji said coldly: "How much do you remember what your young master said along the way? Even Sikong Lang can say that the royal family is ruthless. He knows what will happen in that world better than you."

Jiang Ji didn't wait for Gu Xiao to speak again, and continued: "Even if his original intention was not like this at the beginning, or he changed his mind after the original intention, but as long as the final purpose remains the same, he will never be the person you think he is. Good man. If you tell him what Xia Yunqing said today, if Xia Cangqiao dies in the future, you will be the murderer."

Gu Xiao felt a turmoil in his heart, "Why, why did the young master have to die? He didn't do anything!"

"If Mr. Qi really has something to do with the royal family, or maybe he is wanted by the royal family, Xia Cangqiao will only be implicated." Jiang Ji said: "There is also the ring, which is only wanted by the people of Hanyue Palace now. Get it. If you say it, the Ninth Prince will definitely send someone to snatch this ring, and the one who will be implicated is still the most innocent young master you said."

Gu Xiao pursed her lips tightly and remained silent for a long time, but Jiang Ji could tell that Gu Xiao had given up the idea of ​​notifying the Ninth Prince.He sighed, and he didn't know why he felt unbearable and depressed when he saw Gu Xiaowei get angry with that man.

Sikong Shen, Sikong Shen, you really know how to find someone to attack.Jiang Ji mocked in his heart.
