Prince Boring and Concubine Qiao Ai

"I survived by luck, and I also thought it was a dream. But the fact is that when we were trapped by the fire, a big hole suddenly opened in the ground, and someone climbed up from the hole, holding your Xue Jiajun's soldier talisman, he said yes Your friendly army came here to save us. We followed them and got into the cave to escape. Shuttle underground, and finally arrived at a safe place away from the fire. They let us temporarily take shelter in a nearby cave. Dry food and drinks have already been prepared. .”

Ground?

No wonder, without anyone noticing.

How much thought and how much money was spent to dig through the mountain base of the West Corridor.Tens of thousands of people have to work on such a huge project for three months without sleep.Moreover, it is digging secretly, and it cannot be done with great fanfare, so the difficulty can be imagined.

Zhao Ling blurted out, "It's Luo Yi?"

Qiu Heng nodded, "I was also surprised at the time, why was it him?"

"It's me... I gave him the soldier talisman." Zhao Ling recalled that year, after the fire burned everything, he regretted deeply, hated that he had misjudged the person, he was desperate at that time, but he had to guard what he needed to protect Something, he didn't want Daliang's warriors to follow him into rebels.He begged Luo Yi to help him once, because only Luo Yi had the ability to keep the [-] western border troops, and the western border troops could still be used by Daliang, so that they would not hide in Tibet and go into the mountains to become bandits in order to survive.

Luo Yi agreed to him, and he gave Luo Yi the soldier talisman.What Ke Luoyi returned to him was a sea of ​​flames in the west corridor.He always thought that the fire was set by Luo Yi. He thought that Luo Yi chose the imperial decree and betrayed him. He led the Liang army to force Xue's army to surrender with fire, and burned to death [-] soldiers from the Western Region Army who had fought side by side with him. Soldiers.

Until his death, he hated Luo Yi, hated to the bottom of his bones, hated until Gong Cheng knelt in front of him begging, he didn't want to look back at his good brother who used to cherish each other, and then... made a big mistake.

He suddenly punched the ground. "Xue Jiajun... Where is it?"

"I hid for a while, and later, after Zhao Qi ascended the throne, he built Nianming Temple. Under the mountain of Nianming Temple, there are hundreds of villages, large and small. The villagers are all from the Western Border Army. No one knew that they survived. They changed their names to commoners. Marry a wife and have children, and lived an ordinary life for 20 years. The people you entrusted to Luo Yi back then, quite a few, are all alive."

"Why? Why didn't he tell me! I thought Xue Jiajun was dead, and I thought you were dead, so I...I will..."

Zhao Ling wore the memory fragments after rebirth.The village he broke into indiscriminately had formations outside the village, how could there be formations in ordinary villages?It was clearly a puzzle set up not to allow outsiders to come in.

"Have you ever given him a chance to tell you the truth?" Chu Di listened with a definite answer in his eyes.

"I……"

No.

20 years ago, he, Zhao Jingming, swore to the sky that he would sever justice with Daliang En.The mother and concubine committed suicide, the uncle died tragically, and the 3 Xue family army was wiped out. Bearing the infamy of the rebels, they were burned alive by a forest fire.

He is wholeheartedly for Liang, willing to be a hostage, regardless of life and death, he sacrificed most of the soldiers of the Xue family, broke the Futian Formation, and won the credit for destroying Ningguo.But how did Daliang treat him?Slandering him for stealing the jade seal of Ningguo, forcing the Xue family army to become rebels, and forcing his flesh and blood relatives to death.

He once risked his life to save Zhao Qi, but Zhao Qi ignored his last plea and asked Luo Yi to deceive him into taking away his soldier amulet, and set fire to the dense forest of the corridor in the west, the hiding place of Xue's army, and his last home.

He hated Luo Yi and everyone in Daliang to the core. When he met on the battlefield, he was a mortal enemy.

Until the end, Ling Chi was three thousand dollars, very painful, very painful. At that time, he really wanted Luo Yi to appear and let Luo Yi see how painful he was, but Luo Yi never appeared.

After listening to Chu Di, he continued, "Luo Yi knows that the Queen Mother will never let you live, and the promise to Kuang Chengzong was just a cover. So when Qingji Kingdom surrendered, Luo Yi let the Mobei Army stationed three miles away from Liangdu. The Xue family army is also pretending to be the Mobei army, and is always on standby. Luo Yi would rather break his oath, be an enemy of Daliang, and be an enemy of Zhao Qi, but also save your life."

"But back then it wasn't..."

"At that time, Luo Yi was a little younger after all. The Queen Mother acted first, bought the close officials of the Luo Palace, and used Zhao Qi to set a trap in the palace to capture Luo Yi and secretly lock him in the harem."

Zhao Ling remembered the traces of fighting with swords on the walls of the ancestral hall.

"The two armies on the outskirts of the city have been waiting for the signal, but the signal has not been sent out for a long time. When Luo Yi came out of the harem, his hands were full of blood. He dug through the brick wall with his hands. It can send a signal of rescue. But it's too late. You have already suffered the death sentence. Everything has been settled."

"That's right... That's why he was the only one who didn't come to see me when I was executing the execution. I thought he couldn't bear it a little bit, sympathized with me, or hated me so much that he didn't even want to look at it," Zhao Ling said at this time Instead, he lost his turbulent mood, "But I don't know...he is preparing...to save me..."

In the end, there was no time.

Zhao Ling seemed to see Luo Yi's blood-stained hands.For him?He is not worth it.How much trouble did he cause Luo Yi, how much trouble...

"He believed in you from the beginning to the end. But you never believed in him. You would rather trust Kuang Chengzong, an outsider, than him." Chu Di heard, "How regretful Luo Yi is, how much he hates him for being incompetent? He put The sycamore tree you planted in Caiyue Palace was moved to his yard, and watered every day like a treasure. He dug out all the wine you buried in the backyard of Luo Wangfu, and drank it day and night to get drunk. He didn't listen to anyone who advised him. After drinking the ones you buried, he sent someone to buy them outside. If there was no one to send, he went to the restaurant to drink. Zhao Qi finally had no choice but to use the guards. Tie him up to quit drinking."

"so……"

The fig tree in the yard... the one he planted?Already grown that big?

Why Luo Yi drank, never expected that Luo Yi became an alcoholic because of his death.Wu Lan spoke vaguely, maybe Wu Lan didn't know the ins and outs, he was just a child at that time.But after Chu Di was rescued by Luo Yi, he has been by Luo Yi's side all the time. He is naturally aware of Luo Yi's changes.

"It's a good thing I've been given a precept, elder brother will never leave Lord Luo alone."

"Didn't you notice? He lost his sense of taste. It's because of drinking too much." Chu Di realized after hearing Ye Pei's admiration for Zhao Ling. Zhao Ling was the son-in-law for a while, and the two were in the same house, but they didn't notice it. Fortunately, he once had a childhood sweetheart with Luo Yi.

Zhao Ling remembered that when he deliberately picked chili for Luo Yi to eat, Lord Luo swallowed it happily, so disgusted.It's not that Lord Luo can eat spicy food, but that he can't taste it at all.

"By the way, I should give you something." Chu Di listened to take out a fan from his sleeve, "After I repaired it, I never had a chance to return it to the prince. When I see you today, I will give it to you directly."

It was his fan. He picked it up by accident when he was in Nianming Temple, and before he warmed it up, he dropped the fan under the cliff to save Concubine Su.

"Luo Yi searched for days and nights, and even transferred Cui Fang, who was familiar with the terrain, to finally find it. But the fan was soaked in water, and the ink on it was smeared. After all, it was made by me. When I sent you off that year I still vaguely remember the pattern. Just try to repair it. After all, it is your favorite fan." Chu Diting handed the fan to Zhao Ling.

Zhao Ling took the fan and put it in his arms.

"So... Luo Yi knew my identity a long time ago, didn't he?" Zhao Ling felt like a mirror in his heart when he heard Chu Di heard this. If Luo Yi didn't know, this fan would never have turned around back to his hand.How did he know?Zhao Ling asked himself that he was alright, although Wan was far from Zhao Lian's personality, but compared to the former Zhao Ling, he was much more low-key.

Chu Di listened to him and answered him, "Intuition. Lord Luo firmly believes that it is you. If not, he would not adopt you to Prince Luo's mansion. Even if he knew you were unwilling, he would still want to keep you by his side and protect you for the rest of his life."

For the rest of my life...it's like marrying a daughter-in-law...

Zhao Ling felt disgusted when he heard it, but Mr. Chu was especially serious when he said it.

"Zhao Ling, don't you understand? That's all... I won't tell you directly, you probably won't understand in two lifetimes."

"Then tell me? How can I understand if you don't tell me?" Zhao Ling hates being tricky the most.

"Lord Luo likes you."

Ok?

Zhao Ling thought he had heard wrong.

Chu Di said again, "Prince Luo loves you deeply."

Perhaps because Zhao Lian was a broken sleeve, when Chu Di heard that Luo Yi liked him, he accepted it very naturally.

"Brother Chu... Who do you say is the most in love?" Ning Qiumo changed his clothes and hugged Brother Chu's neck. In front of Brother Chu, he will always be a child.

Zhao Ling suddenly turned around and ran towards the door, missing Ningzhuang, he stopped suddenly and asked, "Where is the prince?"

"I went to the study. You haven't seen Mr. Chu for many years. I'll give you time to reminisce."

"You also know who I am?"

"Of course I know who you are! Zhao Lian, Prince Luo, the Thirteenth Prince..."

This one doesn't know anything at all!

Zhao Ling ran wildly all the way, and was out of breath when he stood at the door of the study. Holding the door frame, he saw Luo Yi who was flipping through the newspaper in front of the desk in the middle of the study.

Luo Yi raised her head to look at him, she was also prepared, and said calmly, "What's the matter?"

"When did you know?" Zhao Ling stepped forward.

"When you were injured in Nianming Temple." Luo Yi said quickly.

so early?

Zhao Ling took another two steps forward, "How do you know?"

"When you rescued Concubine Su, you tied Concubine Su to you. The knot you tied was the unique knot-tying technique of the Xue family army. I asked a few little nuns who were saved, you tied the knot, and you taught them .” Luo Yi put down the report and stood up.

"And then? Is it funny to watch me act?" Zhao Ling took a few steps forward.

"I don't know, how to speak."

The distance between the two is getting closer, Zhao Ling tightly clutches the long sleeve, he is afraid that he can't help punching Luo Yi, how badly he was deceived in his previous life, if Luo Yi hadn't deceived him, he would never have Agree to Kuang Chengzong's invitation, go to Qingji Kingdom to be some kind of general, maybe he still has the possibility of the prodigal son turning back, maybe Ah Cheng will not die, and the little junior sister will not become a widow...

But it's no wonder Luo Yi, Luo Yi saved his Xue family army, and even almost made Zhao Qi an enemy in order to save him.

It is always him who makes the choice.

It was his own mental instability, it was he who was blinded by unnecessary hatred, it was he who forgot the oath he made together in Xuanwu Pavilion a long time ago.

Guard the soil and open up the frontiers, defend our beams.

Zhao Ling walked forward again, the two of them were only one step away, he had to look up to meet Luo Yi's gaze, he hadn't looked at Luo Yi's face so closely and carefully for a long time, it was vague for 20 years, time is not forgiving, "Luo Fuxun, do you miss me?"

Nianming Temple...Nianming...Missing...Zhao Jingming...

Zhao Ling knew the answer without Luo Yi answering him.

"Think." Luo Yi stretched out his finger and wiped away a tear from the corner of Zhao Ling's eye.

"I want to see you again and tell you personally that your Xue family army is fine."
