There are only a few houses in Ji'nan City, and almost all the houses were messed up by the people from Xiliang who fled in a hurry. Only the house where Li Xingchen stayed before has been cleaned up.
Reaching out to push open the door, Li Xingchen made a gesture of invitation. Before Chen Xu judged Xiao Kui's crime, Li Xingchen was naturally polite to Xiao Kui. After all, he was also the king of a country and a descendant of the previous royal family.
, it is more likely that Chen Xu would arbitrarily seal an idle prince and let him sit in a well in Jiankang Mansion and watch the sky.
It will be easier for everyone to talk when we meet again, right?
Xiao Kui smiled and nodded at Li Xingchen, giving him a favor in return. This young man could easily catch him out. His ruthless methods and cunning judgment were enough to win Xiao Kui's respect. More importantly,
, just like how Li Xingchen treated Xiao Kui, everyone was polite to each other, and it would not be awkward to meet each other in the future.
But when Xiao Kui saw the girl sitting in the room, his face suddenly darkened, and his hands even trembled slightly. He pointed at her: "You...why are you here?"
The girl who was sitting there in a daze also noticed the person who came in, and jumped up with a cry, but the room was empty, and there was no place for her to hide. Xiao Kui subconsciously looked at Li Xingchen: "Why is she here?!"
His voice was stern, or rather, there was fear in his stern voice.
Li Xingchen sighed and took a step forward to protect the girl behind him: "This is where we found her. Is this Duke Xiao's daughter?"
"This is an ominous sign, he is a monster!" Xiao Kui's voice trembled, his face was gloomy, or rather, his face was ashen, "Sure enough, sure enough! This monster killed everyone, including me!"
While Li Xingchen stretched out his arm to block the girl, he looked at Xiao Kui with a sneer: "Monster? Bad luck? It's obviously because of his incompetence, but in the end he attributed all the reasons for failure to a little girl because of some vague customs.
Moreover, this little girl is still your biological daughter and your flesh and blood. Ask yourself, don’t you feel shameless?!”
Xiao Kui opened his mouth. Although his voice was lowered, it still carried a sense of majesty and anger: "I am the emperor of Xiliang, you are just..."
"Pa!" Crisp slaps echoed in the room. Li Xingchen looked at Xiao Kui, who was covering his face and gasping for air, and waved his hand casually. The strength he used just now was not small at all: "You are just
He is just a prisoner, even if he is any of our Da Chen soldiers outside, you are not qualified to insult him. I hope you can recognize it for yourself!"
After a pause, Li Xingchen didn't wait for Xiao Kui to speak, and said to himself: "The reason why we are polite to you is just because you are of some value to us, and we can use you to ask for rewards from His Majesty. In addition, considering that you will eventually
We were once the monarchs of a country, and it would be a disgrace to throw them together with those prisoners, but that doesn’t mean we won’t do it, and we hope that Mr. Xiao will have this self-awareness!”
To be honest, Li Xingchen cannot be regarded as a feminist. In many aspects, he even stands on the opposite side of feminists. For example, women are not welcome on the battlefield, etc., but this does not mean that Li Xingchen will think that everything has failed.
The blame lies with women.
Throughout the ages, too many men have blamed women for becoming sinners. Xia Jie because of Yu Xi's temptation, King Zhou because of Daji's bewilderment, King Zhou You because of his complimentary smile... But after all, these women are just
A woman truly has the power of life and death, and it is a man who can make the decision.
It would be too much for a man not to bear the blame for his own troubles, but to blindly attribute such blame to a woman. What Xiao Kui did in front of him made Li Xingchen even more angry. The girl born in February was unlucky, so this
It was just a folk custom, but Xiao Kui simply used this custom to blame all crimes on his biological daughter.
But in fact, what did this girl do? She was homeless when she was young. Even when she grew up, she was brought into the palace, but she didn't get any care or fatherly love. If she had any influence on Xiliang, Li Xingchen would have beaten her to death.
Don't believe it either.
In history, Empress Xiao indeed killed many husbands, but thinking about it, did these people really die because of the existence of Empress Xiao? Not to mention others, at least Yang Guang was definitely not the case. And Xiao
Didn’t Tang Taizong Li Shimin, the last owner of the queen, also successfully become a sage king?
Xiao Kui is today, but it is just inevitable. Before, Xi Liang was able to establish a country because of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but now the main force of the Northern Zhou Dynasty is moving northward, and the defense lines of Xiangyang and Huaibei have no time to take care of themselves. It is natural for Xi Liang to become the prey of Nan Chen. Not only did Xiao Kui not prepare for it
Instead, he blamed all of this on a girl who had nothing to do with all of this. In Li Xingchen's view, this was shameless.
Xiao Kui's face changed. He covered his red and swollen cheeks and gritted his teeth. He was from a noble family and was the emperor of Xiliang. When had he ever been so angry? He said almost subconsciously: "You really have such a big tone.
.”
"Because we are the victors," Li Xingchen snorted, raising his hand as if to slap him again, "Now this slap will make Mr. Xiao's other cheek swell. This will actually make Mr. Xiao's cheek swollen."
It's symmetrical, does Mr. Xiao think it's okay?"
Xiao Kui took two steps back and waved his hands repeatedly. As a monarch and a hero who seeks to survive in the cracks, he will not really insist on being strong. Although the leader of Nanchen in front of him looks young, his methods are ruthless, which is obviously not the case.
Xiao Kui is very sure that this easy-to-provoke master really dares to slap him with another slap.
Li Xingchen then turned around and knelt down to look at the girl whose eyes were blurred, and said with a smile: "I will protect you from now on, okay?"
The girl subconsciously glanced in the direction of Xiao Kui, but her nominal father turned away, obviously not wanting to look at the daughter who had brought so much misfortune to her.
After a moment of silence, the girl made up her mind and nodded.
Li Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to touch her head: "Then come with me."
As he spoke, Li Xingchen reached out and pushed open the half-open door. A ray of sunlight shone on his body and the girl's body, while the rest of the house was still shrouded in darkness, including the man standing silently.
Figure in the corner.
Li Xinchen walked forward without looking back. When the girl reached the threshold, she looked back at the room and then let Li Xinchen lead her out.
A threshold is like a fence that can no longer be broken, dividing Yin and Yang.
Seeing Li Xingchen coming out, Xiao Shilian shook his head and whispered to the guards around him: "Let the two brothers go in and watch Xiao Kui, so that nothing can go wrong."
