998. Chapter 998 The cute princess clings to the prince 2
Xia Qingtian took a deep look at Xia Ziyan, then reached out and said, "Son, give the soldier talisman to daddy."
"Dad..." Xia Ziyan choked and couldn't say a word.
He knew that if he handed it over, they would really have no chance of survival. With the military talisman in hand, as long as he could save his father's life, and then the news spread, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers under him would definitely raise their troops and invade.
Ping Splendid Dynasty.
When the time comes, the country will still be my father's.
But dad... hesitated, Xia Ziyan finally took out the military talisman from his arms. He had never disobeyed dad's orders, not before, and certainly not now.
Xia Qingtian took the military talisman, stood up suddenly, dusted off the dust on his robe, then solemnly raised his robe and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I am willing to hand over my military power and all my family property. I only ask that your Majesty spare my son's life."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Murong Leiting looked at Xia Qingtian in shock. He didn't understand why Xia Qingtian voluntarily gave up the last means to save his life. Was it really for his son?
He couldn't help but look at Xia Qingtian carefully.
I saw that Xia Qingtian, who was so all-powerful, was defeated now, but he looked so decadent and pitiful. But his love and care for his children made people unable to help but be moved by it.
I am afraid that no one can surpass him in father's love in the world.
Murong Leiting looked at Murong Xitian in embarrassment: "Xitian, what do you think?"
"Xitian..." Xia Ziluo finally had time to break free from Murong Xitian's arms. She looked at Murong Xitian with tears in her eyes, holding his hand tightly with her little hands.
Her pitiful appearance immediately made Murong Xitian raise his eyebrows in distress.
How would he face the late emperor and the queen mother if he let Xia Qingtian and his son go? But if he didn't let them go, how would he appease Xia Ziluo?
"Xitian, I..." Murong Xitian's frown made Xia Ziluo feel distressed, and she hurriedly stretched out her hand to smooth his brow.
She knew that she had no position to pray for Xia Qingtian, because Xia Qingtian had owed countless blood debts to the Murong royal family.
Each pile, piece by piece, if taken out alone, is a capital crime.
But seeing the father and son being convicted and sentenced to death, she could not do it no matter what. Because in her heart, she had already regarded them as her father and eldest brother.
Xia Qingtian looked at Xia Ziluo's tangled look and hesitated to speak, and knew that the child was worried. On the one hand, justice and love, on the other hand, family affection, it would be difficult for anyone to choose between them.
"Daughter, if dad did something wrong, he must pay the price." Xia Qingtian suddenly waved his hand and threw the soldier talisman to Murong Xitian, "Do it, one life for another, I believe you will keep your promise and let my son go.
.”
Murong Xitian caught the soldier talisman, took a look at it, and was immediately frightened.
This is the military talisman of the late emperor. It can mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops, and it only listens to the orders of those who own the military talisman, ignoring the emperor's orders.
Did Xia Qingtian really feel repentant after handing this over? Was he really willing to die for Xia Ziluo and Xia Ziyan?
"Temporarily detain Xiang Xiang and General Xia in the sky prison." It was difficult to judge for the moment, and Murong Xitian planned to discuss with the Queen Mother and the emperor's brother before deciding how to deal with them.
Shouldn't he be executed immediately?
Xia Qingtian breathed a sigh of relief. This would give his son more chances to save his life.
He looked at the Yu Lin army who had surrounded them again, glanced at the ropes in their hands, and couldn't help but laugh: "No need to tie them up, we can go to the prison by ourselves."
