Your Majesty is happy [rebirth]

Xiao Mantou cried heart-rendingly, his face was flushed red but he couldn't make a sound, Ling Qiyou hugged him tightly, his hands were almost trembling, his heart felt so uncomfortable, Xiao Chuqian also raised his head to look at That Yuwen Minhao questioned: "Should you explain to His Majesty why His Highness the Crown Prince became like this?"

But Yuwen Minhao asked him back: "Who are you?"

"Your Majesty's minister, surnamed Chu and named Xiao."

The other party narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and his eyes fell on him, as if he was examining him. Xiao Chuqian calmly met his scrutiny, and after a while, Yuwen Minhao opened the corner of his mouth, revealing a smile of unknown meaning : "Why do I hear people say that when you first came to my Nan* camp, you told people that you are also the other father of His Royal Highness? If it wasn't so, my people wouldn't agree with you to stay..."

"That's right, I gave birth to His Majesty the Crown Prince," Xiao Chuqian said nonsense without even frowning: "Now, can you please explain why my son became like this?"

Hearing what he said, there was a flash of surprise in Yuwen Minhao's eyes, and then he said: "I was negligent. The people below saw that the child was too noisy, so he gave him medicine, and he became dumb. I'm sorry."

Yuwen Minhao spoke lightly, as if he didn't think it was such a serious matter at all. Hearing that his fingers had been deeply pinched into the palm of his hand, Ling Qiyou's face turned completely pale, Xiao Chuqian's voice suddenly raised, completely angry: "You dumbed down the prince?! You really don't pay attention to me, Da Shengchao, do you?!"

Yuwen Minhao raised his eyebrows, disapproving of his words, turned to Ling Qiyou and said, "I didn't expect His Majesty to dare to come to our country alone, his courage is admirable..."

"When can we leave?" Ling Qiyou interrupted him coldly, forcing himself not to get angry with him at this time, and only asked: "You want us to come to the Southern Kingdom, here we are, now, when can you let us go?"

Yuwen Minhao smiled: "Your Majesty doesn't plan to leave my southern country just like that?"

Ling Qiyou's eyes darkened: "What do you mean by that? Are you going to detain us?"

"Since your Majesty dares to come, you should have this awareness," Yuwen Minhao said, tapping his finger on the armrest of the throne under him, and said slowly: "I originally thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of your country might not be able to have such a big man. The usefulness of it can really make His Majesty condescend to come to our country in person, but His Majesty's performance did not disappoint me..."

"Stop talking nonsense, just mention your purpose." This time it was Xiao Chuqian who interrupted him. They couldn't understand Yuwen Minhao's domineering attitude, especially when he attacked Xiao Mantou Well, if it weren't for this being on the territory of the Southern Kingdom, they wouldn't be able to directly confront him now. He really wanted to stab the person in front of him to death with a sword.

Yuwen Minhao crossed his arms, his eyes fell on Xiao Chuqian, stared at him for a moment, and suddenly asked: "The Pingcheng War seven years ago, the leading general of the Dacheng Dynasty at that time, named Xiao Chuqian, what is your relationship with you?" ?”

"It's okay." Before Xiao Chuqian could speak, Ling Qiyou answered for him first: "Xiao Chuqian has already been executed for treason."

Yuwen Minhao raised his eyebrows: "Executed? But how did I hear that all his clansmen and subordinates died? He himself was originally sentenced to death by Ling Chi, but he didn't go to the execution ground afterwards. I heard that he was given by your majesty." Arrested in the dungeon of the palace, and then disappeared?"

"This is my business, what does it have to do with you?"

"I just want to confirm," Yuwen Minhao's eyes still fell on Xiao Chuqian, with a seemingly innocent killing intent in his eyes, as if he wanted to see through it: "Chu Xiao is Xiao Chuqian."

"So what if it is, so what if it's not?" Xiao Chuqian asked him back: "Even if I really am Xiao Chuqian, what are you going to do?"

"Xiao Chuqian led the army to behead [-] soldiers from the Southern Kingdom, and the souls of the dead are still there, so naturally..."

"Kill him as a memorial service for them?" Xiao Chuqian twitched the corner of his mouth coldly: "You seem to have forgotten which side instigated that war back then. My Dasheng Dynasty has always advocated peace, and the common people just want to To live a peaceful and stable life, if you hadn’t repeatedly provoked and sent troops across the border to burn, kill, humiliate and loot, there would be no such war. Skills are not as good as others, if we are not convinced, we will go to the battlefield to compete again, snatch a baby who is still in its infancy as a threat, and lure your majesty to throw himself into the net. If such a despicable and insidious trick spreads out to your country, you will not be afraid of losing your face and making you laugh. ?”

Yuwen Minhao was a little embarrassed by what he said, the smile on the corner of his mouth froze, and his eyes became cold: "You are the ones who forgot what happened back then. The real reason for the war back then was that your Emperor Shunde died on the 15th. Years ago, I broke the covenant and killed the eldest prince that our country sent to you as a hostage. In terms of despicability and insidiousness, my southern country also learned from Dasheng Dynasty."

"The eldest prince of the Southern Kingdom," Ling Qiyou said with a sneer, "Are you avenging him? How good is your relationship with him? You killed the third prince who was a compatriot with his mother in order to seize the throne. Didn't you kill the general who was given the surname of the country? If he didn't die early, you would have to think hard to get rid of him to be the emperor, right? You have repeatedly provoked me and sent assassins The spies sneaked into our Dasheng Dynasty, and even assassinated the two vassal kings of my Dasheng Dynasty, all for the purpose of provoking disputes and civil strife in our Dasheng Dynasty. You can take the opportunity to send troops. Everything you do is because of your ambition. , why bother to find such a high-sounding reason."

Yuwen Minhao's face darkened completely: "Do you think you can go out so easily after you come here?"

"Just tell me what you want." Ling Qiyou lost his patience early in the morning, and the little steamed bun in his arms was still crying. He didn't have any extra thoughts to deal with Yuwen Minhao now. Check for Xiao Mantou whether there are other injuries on his body.

"I want you to decree in the name of the emperor of the Dasheng Dynasty to return the twelve cities ceded by our country at the beginning, and order all your soldiers and horses stationed in southern Xinjiang to retreat to Chongshan Mountains, and what's more, to send your King Xuan The guard surnamed Shen is sent back, he is the defeated general of our Southern Kingdom, and he will be punished by the Southern Kingdom's military law."

"It can't be done."

Ling Qiyou refused unceremoniously. After retreating to Chongshanling, it would be tantamount to giving away the vast land of southern Xinjiang and the dozens of large cities there. It is impossible for him to do such a thing for his own life. Come.

"You didn't think about it at all, just refused?" Yuwen Minhao already gritted his teeth: "If you don't agree to my conditions, not only you will die, but your lover will die just like your son."

"Then die," Ling Qiyou said indifferently, "It's worth it if we can die together."

Then he curled his lips again and continued: "If I die alone, it will be a good deal to save the country and the country."

"Do you really think so?"

"Since we dared to come, we didn't intend to go back alive. If we want to be killed or cut, let us take it at our discretion."

A stern look flashed across Yuwen Minhao's eyes, he stared at him firmly, and the hall fell into silence.

After a while, Yuwen Minhao frowned, called people in, and ordered them to be taken back to the courtyard where they lived before: "I'll give you three days to think about it, you can think about it slowly, and just die here. Is it worth it or not?"

Ling Qiyou turned around and left with Xiao Mantou and Xiao Chuqian in his arms.

Back at the residence, after there were no more outsiders, Ling Qiyou's eyes finally turned red, and he hugged the little steamed bun tightly, unable to say a word for a long time.

The little mantou seemed to be tired from crying, and now he fell asleep in his arms. Xiao Chuqian stood aside and watched silently for a while, then sat down beside Ling Qiyou, and took the little mantou from his hand.

Looking at his son who had lost a lot of weight in just half a month, Xiao Chuqian's heart ached a lot. Such a small child was going to suffer such a big crime, and he was dumbfounded by those utterly devoid of conscience. As long as he thinks about it, he regrets that he didn't directly lead the troops to conquer the Nanman Kingdom.

Fortunately, after the inspection, there was no other injury except that he was dumb. Xiao Chuqian helped the little guy wipe the tears off his face. Xiao Chuqian turned his head to see Ling Qiyou was still staring at the little mantou dumbly, and stretched out his hand to pinch his cheeks. Hand: "Don't worry, I think Shen Lexin, following his master, can even make things like fertility medicine, he can cure Xiao Mantou."

Ling Qiyou looked up at him with red eyes: "Can we still go out?"

He was not afraid of death, but he never wanted his son to die here at such a young age.

"It's okay. Didn't he say to let us think about it for three days? Think about it again. Besides, after you fell asleep last night, I saw a signal flare from Shen Lexin outside. He should have arrived. Let's wait a little longer." .”

Xiao Chuqian sighed, he and Ling Qiyou had the same thought, they could live and die together, but Xiao Mantou, no matter what, still wanted to send him out alive.

Ling Qiyou didn't say any more, he lowered his head and kissed the face of the little bun in Xiao Chuqian's arms. The little guy used to sleep on his back, but now he was holding Xiao Chuqian's sleeve tightly with his little hand, and he didn't sleep well. Anwen, Ling Qiyou didn't dare to think about how he came here for the past ten days, whether he was very scared, whether he was crying every day, and now seeing that he was indeed in their arms, he was overwhelmed. Yue's stone finally fell to the ground, but his heart throbbed more and more.

Xiao Chuqian held Xiaomantou in one hand, and wrapped his shoulders in the other: "Don't think too much, let's rest early."
