stepson

After figuring out what Princess Zhang was going to do next, Shang Xuanlie left the City Lord's Mansion and returned to the inn, but he didn't see Su Zhaoxue.For no reason, Shang Xuanlie felt a sense of fear, fearing that Su Zhaoxue would disappear.He hurriedly found the waiter and asked Su Zhaoxue's whereabouts.After learning that he was just going out for a walk, I felt relieved.

But Su Zhaoxue was restless after returning to the inn, thinking about what he would do if Shang Xuanlie married a wife and had children in the future?To tell the truth, he likes Shang Xuanlie very much. Shang Xuanlie has a suspicious personality, but he is very sincere and honest to him.Although he was born in a royal family, he is as unloving as he is. The first impression Shang Xuanlie gave Su Zhaoxue was that he was a strong martial artist, and he admired him as a strong man first.That's why when Shang Xuandong poisoned him and couldn't move or speak, he rescued him.The following relationship was a matter of course, the deeper the two got in touch, the more Su Zhaoxue felt that Shang Xuanlie liked him very much.

With her mind in a mess, Su Zhaoxue let out a long sigh, and made a decision in her heart, let's just walk and see.If Shang Xuanlie really wants to marry a wife, then he will leave.It's good for each other.For Su Zhaoxue, there is nothing she can't let go of, it's just a life experience, maybe everything can't get a satisfactory result.

Waking up from contemplation, Su Zhaoxue immediately felt something was wrong.There are several teams of officers and soldiers on the street, searching people's houses one by one.what happened?Could it be that something happened to the city lord's mansion?Thinking that Shang Xuanlie didn't return to the inn at noon, he couldn't help but feel worried.Turn around and go back to the inn, wanting to see if Shang Xuanlie is back.

When I returned to the inn and opened the door, I saw Shang Xuanlie sitting at the table with a gloomy face and meditating. After seeing him come back, he got up and looked at him calmly, and said, "Where did my brother go? I'll wait for you." For a while."

Su Zhaoxue saw that her eyes were bloodshot, as if she was very tired.He keenly felt that Shang Xuanlie seemed to be a different person, and his whole body was very heavy.It seemed that he hid his heart even deeper, and his smile was not real at all, as if he had just met when he returned.He frowned, and asked directly: "I just went out for a walk. What's wrong with you, brother? It seems that you have something on your mind?"

"I don't have anything on my mind." Concubine Zhang is his mother and concubine after all, Shang Xuanlie couldn't tell Su Zhaoxue about things like Hong Xing's cheating.

"It's fine if it's nothing." Su Zhaoxue felt very disappointed when she didn't want to say it. He said, "I saw a lot of officers and soldiers searching for something on the street. I was worried about you, so I came back to look for you. Would you like to go to the City Lord's Mansion Check it out, don't tell me something happened to the city lord's mansion."

Hearing this, Shang Xuanlie felt a bit of warmth in his cold heart, closed his eyes and stretched out his hand to pull Su Zhaoxue into his arms, hugged his body tightly, buried his face on his shoulder, and said: "You Don't worry so much, let me hug you."

"What's wrong with you? Is there anything you can't tell me?" Shang Xuanlie is very weak at this time, which surprised Su Zhaoxue. Even when he was poisoned by Shang Xuandong, he had never seen him like this, just one morning What the hell happened?

Shang Xuanlie closed his eyes and didn't speak. His parents were very unfavorable. The betrayal from his close relatives undoubtedly dealt a great blow to Shang Xuanlie and made him even more distrustful of others.Killing Meng Bin was not only out of anger, but also because if this matter was exposed, Princess Zhang would undoubtedly die.The Bei'an Palace has a history of more than 100 years, while his mother's Zhang family has flourished for only [-] years.Even if his father Shang Zhengxing did nothing, the righteousness of the world is on Shang Zhengxing's side, not to mention that there are many generals loyal to the Bei'an Palace, and it is no problem to get rid of the Zhang family.

In addition, the Bei'an Palace secretly raised 20 private soldiers, who only listened to the orders of the Bei'an King, and used them to save themselves when the Bei'an Palace was in danger.It's just that Shang Zhengxing is weak and greedy for beauty, and the token of this private soldier was directly passed to him by Shang Xuanlie's grandfather, the Old King of Bei'an.This is also the reason why Shang Xuanlie is not worried about losing the position of son, the trump card of Bei'an Palace is in his hands.

Thinking that this idiot Meng Bin made his affair with Concubine Zhang known all over the city, Shang Xuanlie wished he could tear him apart.Hmph, Meng Bin's mind, Shang Xuanlie can guess how much, thinking that the Zhang family controls half of the soldiers and horses of the Bei'an Palace and can resist the Bei'an Palace!With the emperor and the Tatar kingdom staring at each other, the Zhang family dared to stir up civil strife in the northwest!

Seeing that Shang Xuanlie didn't speak at all, Su Zhaoxue sighed and became more worried about him.He stretched out his hand and patted Shang Xuanlie's back lightly as if to comfort a baby, and said in a low voice, "Since you don't want to talk, forget it. I think you seem very tired, close your eyes and have a good sleep."

"No, I can't sleep anymore." Shang Xuanlie took a deep breath on his neck and said, "We can't stay in this city any longer. The person outside the officers and soldiers is looking for is me. I killed the military advisor of the City Lord's Mansion. He took away the son of the military master."

As soon as Su Zhaoxue heard it, she knew that Shang Xuanlie must have concealed something, and when he learned that it was related to Princess Zhang, he stopped asking.Seeing that he didn't ask himself the reason for the murder, Shang Xuanlie felt slightly relieved.He didn't want to lie to Su Zhaoxue, but Shang Xuanlie couldn't say anything about Princess Zhang.

It's not that Su Zhaoxue doesn't care about what happened, but that Shang Xuanlie is an adult and has his own ideas. Since he doesn't want him to intervene in this matter, then he has his reasons.It is appropriate to keep a distance at a certain moment, this is Su Zhaoxue's thoughtfulness.

The two checked out and left the inn, and immediately prepared to leave the city.It's just that at this time, troops have been stationed at the gate of the border city, and they are checking the identities of the people who come and go one by one.Concubine Zhang governs the army very strictly, and the guards in the border towns are not like the guards in Yunzhou City, who can be bribed with a little money.

"What should I do?" Su Zhaoxue asked.Both of them are wanted criminals across the country, and they don't have household registration certificates, so they will definitely not be able to leave the city.

"Forget it, let's go out in the dark at night." Shang Xuanlie stared at the several feet high city wall.

Reluctantly, the two turned back.The inn must not be able to live anymore.Shang Xuanlie brought Su Zhaoxue into the City Lord's Mansion.They knocked out the two servants, and Su Zhaoxue disguised herself as two servants, and walked in the city lord's mansion openly and aboveboard.

At this time, Concubine Zhang was guarding the mourning hall, and the butler in the mansion was busy with the funeral.The servants took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and gossip about each other.Su Zhaoxue heard the discussions among the servants, and learned that someone broke into the city lord's mansion, killed the military adviser, and kidnapped Princess Zhang's adopted son.After hearing that the military division had an affair with Princess Zhang, he immediately understood why Shang Xuanlie was so fragile today.He glanced worriedly at Shang Xuanlie next to him, and then held his hand tightly.

Shang Xuanlie felt something, turned around and gave him a crying and smiling expression, and held Su Zhaoxue's hand back, the sadness accumulated in his heart disappeared a little.He never thought of concealing the matter of Princess Zhang, since he couldn't say it, he told Su Zhaoxue through someone else's mouth.

So far only Su Zhaoxue has entered his heart and given him trust and care.Shang Xuanlie doesn't want to let down this feeling, as long as Su Zhaoxue doesn't betray him, his heart is willing to hold nothing back to him.

Pulling Su Zhaoxue to hide in the secluded and uninhabited garden, Shang Xuanlie said with a bitter face, "You don't know, when I heard my mother and concubine personally say that I would be under house arrest, I really wanted to die Forget it. Am I not her own? Why can she be so cruel to me? Can she watch me die? I always thought that my mother and concubine were indifferent to me because of indifference. Watching her affectionately give to that wild Kind of sweating, a loving mother. I can't believe it! Originally, all her love was given to that bastard..."

Seeing Shang Xuanlie complaining painfully about the various injustices of Princess Zhang, Su Zhaoxue really wanted to persuade him to look away, thinking about what words to use so as not to hurt him.Su Zhaoxue can understand what Princess Zhang did. Shang Xuanlie is not the child of her beloved, so it is natural to ignore him. Women are more ruthless than anyone else, and maternal love also has to be targeted.

After a moment of contemplation, Su Zhaoxue said: "There are always many unsatisfactory things in a person's life. Since Princess Zhang doesn't like it and regards you as a stepping stone, you have to strive for yourself. It's best to be superior to them and let them rely on you Survival is the best revenge."

"You're right." After Shang Xuanlie poured out some of the bitter water in his belly, he felt much happier. He said: "When I learned that they wanted to put me under house arrest, I swore to take back Bei'an Palace! Disarmed Returning to the field is only the weak's way! What's more, I am in this position, I can let others go, and others will not let me go. Power is the best talisman."

"It's best if you can figure it out. What are you going to do with Meng Shaojie? It's impossible to keep him imprisoned forever, right?"

"No, I want to see what step my concubine mother can do for this bastard!" Shang Xuanlie's eyes flickered and he gritted his teeth. "I want to exchange Meng Shaojie for soldiers and horses in the border town!"

Su Zhaoxue was speechless, he was afraid that Princess Zhang would really give up the [-] troops in the border town for Meng Shaojie.That way Shang Xuanlie might be even more sad, he said: "Don't get angry, just calm down. For Meng Shaojie, you must maximize his interests to be worthy of your pain. Don't be emotional, and if it breaks, you can take back Bei'an Palace plan."

Shang Xuanlie was startled, frowned, thought for a while and said, "Thank you brother Zhaoxue for reminding you, you are right! There are [-] garrisons of my uncle's garrison dozens of miles away! Not only that, my grandfather's second My uncle has [-] troops in each hand. How can I waste Meng Shaojie’s great power? This time I must win the Zhang family’s military power!” Home, there is no pressure for Shang Xuanlie.

Seeing that he listened, Su Zhaoxue heaved a sigh of relief.He said: "I don't really understand these matters of seizing power, you can do it as you see, but it's better for brother to discuss it with Mr. Fan before proceeding."

"Mr. Fan is just outside the border town. When you and I set off to the border town, I sent someone to tell him to come find me from the border town. Before I came to the border town, I always felt uneasy. I asked Mr. Fan to come first to prevent just in case."

Su Zhaoxue said: "Princess Zhang doesn't know that it's my brother who already knows about her and Meng Bin. My brother has the upper hand. If you and Mr. Fan work hard, you will be able to take over the border town smoothly."

"Of course I know this."
