The Dukes of Dingguo and Zhengguo had been on good terms for generations, and the two families had many contacts. Therefore, Zhao Mingyue expressed his desire to marry the two families several times.
The Xia family only had an only daughter, Xia Zhaoyi. Xia Wenshan said that he could not be the master. He had promised Xia Zhaoyi's master that Xia Zhaoyi's future marriage would be happy with Xia Zhaoyi.
This incident caused an uproar among many people. How could the marriage of the daughter's family be followed by the daughter's family? However, when it comes to Miss Xia, I don't think it is so shocking.
So Zhao Mingyue personally hinted to Xia Zhaoyi, and Xia Zhaoyi expressed his rejection tactfully, but Zhao Mingyue did not give up. He mentioned it again every time he met again. It was not until the Northern Rebellion broke out not long after that that the matter was forgotten.
Of.
And Zhao Mingyue wanted Xia Zhaoyi to marry the Duke of Zheng, the man in white in front of him, the eldest son of the Duke of Zheng, Zhao Yu.
Calculating the years, Zhao Xun must be at least nineteen now. Not too old, but not too young. She has ruined her good yard like this, and even came over to play the piano in white clothes in the middle of the night. This is
What is it going to do? Is it going to be haunted?
Xia Zhaoyi turned around and looked around and said, "You don't seem to be such a courageous person. There must be a lot of your guards hidden around here."
"Let's not mention my guards." Zhao Qin frowned slightly, his handsome and clear face showing some displeasure, "You haven't said anything yet, how do you know me? Who are you?"
In the darkness, the branches were facing the wind and swaying rapidly. Although the place had been renovated like a wall being demolished, the wind direction remained unchanged. If someone wanted to hide, Xia Zhaoyi knew where they would usually hide.
"Answer me, little girl." Zhao Xun said again.
"Yeah." Xia Zhaoyi responded.
She withdrew her gaze and landed on the man's face.
It's just that in the past two years, his appearance has basically not changed. His eyebrows are pure and beautiful. When he is solemn, his eyes are deep and murderous, and when he laughs, he is bold and calm. The completely different temperaments are mixed in this person just right.
Everyone in the world can be deceived by his innocent and harmless appearance. Only those who are close know how insidious and cunning this person is.
"An old friend of the deceased here," Xia Zhaoyi continued, "my name is A Li."
Zhao Yun's lips curled up into a slight smile: "I didn't expect that you actually knew my late wife."
Xia Zhaoyi: "???"
"Well," Zhao Xi looked at her expression and smiled lightly, "Looking at your young age, how did you get to know her? Did she bump into her when she was traveling around the world?"
"I don't remember her ever getting married," Xia Zhaoyi said.
"How much do you know about her?" Zhao Yu said with a smile.
Xia Zhaoyi turned around and looked around again, took small steps and paced in the night, and said leisurely: "After the Xia family's accident, you took this yard as your own? Aren't you afraid of being discovered and implicated in Zheng Guogong's mansion?
?You must have been traumatized a lot by the ransacking of Dingguo's residence. Wasn't that a very difficult time?"
Zhao Yu still had a smile on his lips and looked at her little figure: "Don't mention those troublesome things. I feel like I am thinking about my old friend tonight in the dark. Ah Li, I want to hear what kind of person you say she is.
I miss her too much, so tell me something about her and take pity on me."
"Don't test me," Xia Zhaoyi said slowly, "I said we are old friends, and we are old friends. As much as you know about her, I also know as much, and I definitely know more than you."
"oh?"
Xia Zhaoyi stopped and looked back at him: "The person who was hiding in Yufu just now was sent by you?"
As soon as these words came out, she could clearly see the cold light in his eyes, but Xia Zhaoyi knew that Zhao Gong was not an impatient person and would not lose his composure and immediately let him hide in the dark.
The men rushed out.
If his personal guards were still the same people as before, Xia Zhaoyi really couldn't guarantee that he would be able to leave safely today.
"Did you also go to Yu Mansion?" Zhao Xun asked.
"There is some connection between the Yu Mansion and the Xia family's troubles, isn't it?"
"Why do you care about this?"
Xia Zhaoyi smiled lightly: "Because we are old friends."
She sat down on a stone bench next to her, placing her cold fingers on her knees casually. The night was cool, and she did not shrink. She sat upright with her small body, looked at Zhao Xun, and continued: "Don't speculate or doubt me.
Who is behind me? I am alone. Besides, I am sure you have heard my name in the past month. Speaking of which, what I did in Peifeng also helped your Zheng Guogong government."
"Yes, I have to thank you girl for this." Zhao Xun said, the coldness on his face receded a little, and a smile appeared again.
Xia Zhaoyi also smiled, and then said very softly: "Zhao Xun, I have never quite understood why the emperor wanted to attack the Dingguo Palace. I have seen a lot, heard a lot, and thought a lot these days.
I'm thinking maybe there's no particular reason."
Zhao Xun smiled lowly and said: "You don't even know how Duke Dingguo was convicted, so you want to take care of this matter?"
"The world is about to be in chaos, and the emperor must stabilize people's hearts. Peace is stability, and killing is also stability. Our emperor is a cruel person. In his view, appeasing the heroes may not be as effective as killing chickens to scare monkeys. Duke Dingguo of the Xia family and
The prince is gone, leaving only a seriously injured general and a child less than ten years old, so this is indeed the best target to attack." Xia Zhaoyi said.
"I don't know." Zhao Yu shook his head.
"Look, I can kill a whole family of such a great hero, so what else can't I dare to do?" Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile.
Zhao Xun smiled again and looked at her: "You little girl, what do you know?"
A few fallen leaves were blown down by the rushing wind. Xia Zhaoyi raised his head and looked at the branches, and said calmly: "There are a total of fourteen military camps in Daqian. In addition to these military camps, the aristocratic families also maintain their own armies."
, the more troubled the times, the more disobedient the general will be, so being a benevolent king is not as scary as being a tyrant. If a king wants to establish his authority, he must see blood, and killing innocent people indiscriminately is not acceptable. There must be
The excuses and the accusations laid out one after another in the Duke Dingguo Mansion must have been carefully planned."
Zhao Xun still wanted to laugh, but couldn't.
He looked at this little girl. Because her face was covered with a layer of cloth, the focus of his vision fell on her eyebrows.
She looked up like this, her eyes were very bright, as if they were woven with a pool of water, and the broken hair on her forehead was blown away by the cold wind, making her white and smooth.
She was very serious, and when she said these words, her tone was very quiet, but her words seemed to be filled with pathos. Maybe it was because the night was too dark and he was too sleepy, but he vaguely felt that her voice seemed to come from the long and ancient time and space.
It floated out and landed on the cold mountains and clear fields, light and heavy at the same time.
