Chapter 232 Xiao Xiang

Li Xingchen reached out and pushed open the door. Chen Zhishen's words were still echoing in his ears.

"The roads outside the city are muddy, but fortunately it's not too far from the official road to the north from here, and although the rain lasts for a long time, it is not a heavy rain after all, so the roads are not so complete that it is impossible to walk on them. We just need to wait for the rain to stop.

It will take about two or three hours to set off."

Now it has been almost half an hour since the rain stopped. A ray of sunshine shines on the city in the wilderness, and the whistling wind still carries a hint of coolness. The Nanchen soldiers in the city are wiping their weapons, packing their bags, and preparing to leave.

In order to prevent unnecessary complications, all the generals and above were still informed of where they would go next, and the soldiers below did not know. However, there was not much panic or worry on their faces. After all, the Battle of Crossing the River and the Battle of Jinan

, they have witnessed too many miracles and created too many achievements, and naturally they believe that no matter where they go next, they can still triumph.

Seeing Li Xinchen come in, the Xiao family girl hurriedly stepped forward and carefully helped Li Xinchen untie her cloak. This scene fell in the eyes of Li Ping, the boy behind Li Xinchen, and Li Ping couldn't help but stick out his tongue, and stood up with a wink.

No more coming in at the door.

Li Xingchen looked at the girl strangely. After all, the girl was not that old, and she was still a head older than Li Xingchen, so she could only stand on her tiptoes slightly, and it took a long time to untie the second knot. She looked at her Yao nose, which was already covered with wrinkles.

A slight sweat broke out due to nervousness, and his cheeks turned red. Li Xingchen couldn't help but laugh: "I'll do it myself."

"I...I just want to...I am too stupid!" The girl immediately lowered her head in shame.

While Li Xingchen untied the knot, he walked to the table and found that the water had been boiled. Looking around, he saw that the originally messy room with only one chair for people had been tidied up, and the dirty Lingluo

They were all piled together, and the ones that were still intact were hung up again, and a chair was still placed on the table, clearly telling Li Xinchen who did it.

Realizing that Li Xingchen looked back with a half-smile, the girl's hands were twisted together unconsciously: "Yes...I'm sorry, I didn't expect the general to come back so soon. I should...should..."

Pick up the faster ones.”

Li Xingchen couldn't help but burst into laughter. The trance standing in front of him made him feel that she was not the Empress Xiao who had made countless emperors and heroes bow down under her pomegranate skirt in history, nor was she the golden branch of Xiliang, but just a person from a poor family.

The little girl walked into the deep courtyard for the first time and was very nervous.

She is somewhat similar to her own girl, but Li Lian'er's carefree temperament is far less restrained.

But thinking about it, although she was born into the royal family, she has not been recognized by the royal family since she was a child. She has been moved to relatives' homes at a young age. The royal family in Xiliang is still shabby, and these relatives who are only related to the royal family are naturally not much better.

Where to go.

Therefore, Li Xinchen took the initiative to serve Li Xinchen at this time, which was also within Li Xinchen's understanding. This was just a means of survival that this little girl found for herself. After all, under the protection of Li Xinchen's wings, it was better than fighting with relatives who looked at her coldly.

It's better to squeeze together.

You must know that the rest of the royal relatives do not have such good treatment. When it rained just now, there was not enough shelter for Nanchen soldiers, so they could only find a half-collapsed shack for them to huddle in.

Shivering.

Li Xingchen looked at the girl in front of him. Some people in history always said that Queen Xiao was a free-spirited woman who shamelessly passed through the hands of one emperor after another. But in Li Xingchen's view, this was nothing more than the success of this woman who had gone through hardships since she was a child.

It's just a way to make a living in troubled times.

She may be confused by the greed and incompetence of those men, but she has no other choice. This appearance is the only capital that allows her to continue to survive.

At least according to the history that Li Xingchen knew, although Empress Xiao was not a virtuous queen with a mother-in-law in the world, she did not really do anything to control the government, charm the king, or harm the world. She even got a high-sighted person because of her virtuousness.

Queen Dugu appreciated it.

When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was initially indulging in pleasure, Empress Xiao also gave many advices. Unfortunately, after seeing Yang Guang, who was rich and beautiful, how could he care about the advice of his married wife?

And Li Xinchen also understood why he felt sympathy for this little girl from the bottom of his heart. It was not just because her appearance was indeed enough for Li Xinchen to be moved by her. After all, in this era, it was not like Li Xinchen had never seen beautiful women, such as the pretty girl.

Her Royal Highness Princess Lechang may be interesting, perhaps, because Li Xingchen knew that this little girl was also struggling to survive in this troubled world.

Everyone is in the same boat...

Looking at the girl with a look of fear on her face, Li Xingchen stretched out his hand and touched his nose. As an out-and-out single in his past life and this life, to be honest, he really lacked experience in dealing with girls: "You shouldn't do this with these things."

You're done, sit down and rest for a while."

As he spoke, Li Xingchen poured a glass of water and handed it to her. He picked up a pear placed on the table and took a bite. He took out the jade pendant from his sleeve and said with a smile: "Your name is Xiao Xiang?"

The girl was startled for a moment, and then she understood that her name was engraved on the jade pendant. She bit her lower lip lightly and nodded.

"Dreams cannot come true on a bed of ice and silver. The blue sky is like water at night and the clouds are light at night. The sound of wild geese is far away from Xiaoxiang, and the moon shines brightly on the twelfth floor." Li Xingchen recited softly, "What a name for Xiaoxiang."

The name of Empress Xiao has not been left in history, and she did not expect her maiden name to be so poetic. But on second thought, it makes sense. The Lanling Xiao family has been the home of poetry and calligraphy in ancient times. Although Xiao Xiang has never been recognized by Xiao Kui,

But it was impossible for Xiao Kui not to name this daughter. This seemed to come easily. The word "Xiang" had always been used as a place name. When paired with the surname "Xiao", the relationship suddenly changed.

"The sound of wild geese is far away than Xiaoxiang..." Xiao Xiang repeated in a low voice, raised his head and looked at Li Xingchen, his eyes as bright as stars.

Li Xingchen smiled and said: "Then I will call you 'Axiang' from now on. If you don't mind, you can call me 'brother'."

"You dare not!" Xiao Xiang hurriedly took a step back and bowed and said, "The general is the master and the slave is the servant. Thanks to the general, he does not despise the appearance of slave Puliu. It is an honor for the slave to take him in. In the name of brother, slave Wanwan·

·····”

Li Xingchen shook his head in a funny way: "How can you be so particular? Regardless of whether Xiao Kui admits it or not, you are still a princess of the country, and I am just a mud-legged person who walked out of the mountains, and lived a life of licking blood with the blade of a knife.

In these days, if you call me that, I can’t afford it.”

Xiao Xiang looked at Li Xinchen in surprise. It was obvious that Li Xinchen's attitude made her even more uncertain about this man.
