The book has no strength, the female supporting role just wants to survive

The atmosphere was at a stalemate for a moment, and Ryokawa Taki's guards surrounded him and drew their samurai swords.

Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled. She had been helping this girl, so why was this person so ungrateful and made the situation so ugly.

"Miss, there is only a little friction and misunderstanding between us. Why do you have to provoke confrontation between the two countries?"

Jiang Tunan had a blank expression on his face. He raised his hand to signal Su Xiaoxiao to stop talking.

"Don't be impatient, I'll scold you later."

Su Xiaoxiao:?

After saying this, Jiang Tunan returned to his pitiful appearance.

"If it weren't for the aunts and uncles present here protecting me today, I would have been killed by this man."

"My lady, Prince... Master Taki is just a little impulsive. He doesn't really want to take your life. Please don't be too aggressive."

Su Xiaoxiao stepped forward, and Liangchuan Taki looked at Su Xiaoxiao's back, feeling deeply moved.

"Besides, the war is over. Master Taki did not participate in the war. What's his fault? This is unfair to him. Girl, when will the cycle of revenge end?"

Su Xiaoxiao spoke righteously, saying that it was the other Dayin people who made the mistake, and what did it have to do with Liangchuan Taki.

"What qualifications do you have to forgive others?"

Jiang Tunan spoke calmly, Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled.

"what?"

"Because it's not your family members who died, and it's not your family that was destroyed, so you can stand here and pretend to preach the truth, but who doesn't know how to reason? Those women who were insulted by the big Yin people, and their compatriots who were slaughtered like livestock, who can they talk to? Do they have a chance to survive?"

Jiang Tunan felt upset, as if he saw the mountains of corpses and seas of blood again.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't know how to answer for a moment and stood aside feeling somewhat aggrieved.

"I recognize the knife in his hand. It's a samurai sword commonly used by the Daiyin people."

The crowd automatically made way, and an old woman, leaning on a cane, tremblingly walked forward from the back.

"Both of my sons died at the hands of samurai swords... They hung my sons' heads on the city gate as the result of a so-called killing competition. But what did my sons do wrong? They just went to the border town to escort their convoy, and their bodies were nowhere to be found!"

The old woman leaned her cane back and forth on the ground, making it make noises, and tears glistened in her cloudy eyes.

Jiang Tunan could feel the old woman's sadness, his nose felt sore, and he felt like crying. The old woman took a few steps towards Su Xiaoxiao, and Liang Chuanlong saw this and stopped in front of Su Xiaoxiao.

"What are you going to do?!"

The people around were also nervous, fearing that Liangchuan Taki would do something to hurt the old woman.

The old woman didn't look at Liangchuan Taki, but spoke directly to Su Xiaoxiao instead of him.

"Girl, I see you are from Daxing, right? Family feuds and national hatred... How can you just brush it off..."

The old woman's voice gradually became choked, and in the end she was sobbing uncontrollably, and the faces of the people around her were also filled with sadness.

"That's not what I meant, I'm sorry..."

Su Xiaoxiao didn't understand why everyone was blaming her. She clearly just didn't want to cause a quarrel.

"Xiaoxiao, you don't need to blame yourself. They are the ones who are unreasonable."

Su Xiaoxiao gently avoided Liangchuan Long, feeling a little unhappy.

"I'm fine, you better stop talking."

In the teahouse, Xiao Mingrui and Xiao Mingli were sitting opposite each other. Xiao Mingli looked tired.

"Then Liangchuan Taki has finally been quiet these days, otherwise I would have wanted to resign."

Xiao Mingli took a sip of tea and sighed deeply. However, Xiao Mingrui, who was sitting opposite him, smiled.

"It's probably because you beat Ryokawa Zemu in the last International Meeting, and he's angry."

Xiao Mingli felt helpless.

"If only you could come and help me."

Xiao Mingrui remained silent, while Xiao Mingli smiled to himself.

"That's right. With your talent, it's a waste to come to Honglu Temple."

Xiao Mingli said this lightly, and seemed to be mocking himself, with a hint of loneliness flashing across his eyes.

"Second brother, do you plan to stay in Honglu Temple forever?"

Xiao Mingrui looked straight at Xiao Mingli, not daring to miss any expression on Xiao Mingli's face. Xiao Mingli's pupils shrank at first, and then he pretended to be relaxed and said,

"I'm doing fine in Honglu Temple."

Xiao Mingrui spoke softly,

"I know you have never been interested in this. It's okay to be willful once in a while, brother."

Xiao Mingli's grip on the teacup suddenly tightened. If he had not given up the imperial examination back then, perhaps he would have had a chance to win the championship today.

The two factions of the eldest prince and the second prince have been fighting for a long time, and both of them want to win over the Xiao family, which is already at the center of the storm. Moreover, the Xiao family already has a martial arts champion, and if there is another literary champion, I am afraid that the Xiao family will never have peace again.

"Ari has grown up."

Xiao Mingli showed a relieved smile, and Xiao Mingrui's expression instantly became speechless.

"I am only two years younger than you. Why are you acting like an adult in front of me? Have you forgotten who helped you deal with the girl chasing you for two miles?"

Xiao Mingli's expression fell. Could he please not mention this matter again?

"Master."

Shu Yan came over respectfully, leaned over to Xiao Mingrui, said a few words, and then left.

"what happened?"

Seeing that Xiao Mingrui's expression changed slightly, Xiao Mingli asked.

"I heard that a new restaurant has recently opened on West Street. I have already reserved a table. Would you be so kind as to go with me, brother?"

"nature."

The moment Xiao Mingli stood up, a hint of coldness flashed in Xiao Mingrui's eyes. Thinking of what Shu Yan had just said, Xiao Mingrui quickly followed Xiao Mingli's pace.

The two of them walked together and came to the newly opened restaurant that Xiao Mingrui mentioned.

"Yuzhu Tower, what a direct name."

Xiao Mingli looked at the restaurant's sign and commented seriously,

"But it looks a little better than Jumanlou."

Xiao Mingrui's mind was not on the restaurant, but on looking around.

"What are you looking at?"

Xiao Mingli was a little confused when he saw that Xiao Mingrui seemed to be looking for something.

"Look, there are a lot of people gathered over there. Something must have happened. Let's go take a look."

After saying that, Xiao Mingrui strode towards where the crowd gathered, with no intention of waiting for Xiao Mingli.

Xiao Mingli: When did he become so fond of watching the fun?

After a moment of stunned silence, Xiao Mingli quickly followed.

When the two arrived at the scene, they saw Jiang Tunan sitting on the ground with red eyes. Next to him were some middle-aged men wearing coarse cloth shorts, standing in front of Jiang Tunan in a protective posture.

Standing opposite were a group of dark men, led by Ryokawa Taki again. He was holding a samurai sword in his hand with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Cousin? What happened?"

Xiao Mingli stepped forward and wanted to help Jiang Tunan up. It was obvious that Jiang Tunan was being bullied. Who was so bold in broad daylight?

Xiao Mingrui was a little confused. Seeing Jiang Tunan's tears, her affected posture, and her familiar feeling, it seemed that Jiang Tunan was acting again. Did someone provoke her again?

Jiang Tunan saw Xiao Mingli walking towards her, and her heart was full of fear. Could this be the first meeting between the hero and the heroine? Was she still involved in the plot?
