The green tea system is lying to me again

Chapter 583
In the 41st year of the lunar calendar, the north suffered a severe drought, and wars with Diller became more frequent.

Due to perennial battles and defenses, there are strong soldiers and elite generals on the frontier, but the power of the government is out of balance in Gyeonggi, and civil servants are generals.

In the Great Xia, the military system of the government was adopted again, and the situation in the local area was very easy to raise soldiers and amass wealth, and the tail was too big to lose, which had already become a worry for the royal family.

In the autumn of the same year, King Nanhuai rebelled against him, killed Emperor Xia, and supported his son Yiyong as emperor.

In October, King Changyi launched a mutiny in the name of protecting the country against rebellion. The officials of the prefectures and counties along the way unexpectedly changed their minds, and easily won the key passes and approached Gyeonggi.

Nanhuai King was suppressed by him and defected to the south.

Emperor Yong was forced to abdicate, proposed a decree to abdicate to King Changyi, and changed the name of the country to Zhou.

Soon, Emperor Yong was summoned to hang himself in a small building and died.

On the eve of his ascension to the throne, King Changyi was unexpectedly assassinated and died, and was succeeded by his son Minyan.King Changying took the place of regent and took over the important task of supervising the country.

It is rumored that the remnants of the previous dynasty conspired against the law.

Since then, the party members of the former dynasty have been bloodbathed and slaughtered, and the nine clans have been implicated, causing a bloody storm in Gyeonggi.

However, because of such iron-blooded and ruthless means, the peace, peace and order on the surface of the capital were quickly restored.

As a result, loyalists of the former dynasty secretly established the Great Xia Guild, hoping to restore the country.

On the day Nanhuai King raised troops to encircle the palace, the palace was already in chaos.

Except for the eunuchs and maidservants who were loyal to Emperor Xia, everyone else took advantage of the chaos to plunder the treasures and money in the palace and fled in a hurry.

Even the overturned candlestick burned down half of the palace, but no one cared about it, even though the burning fire was raging and black smoke filled the sky.

"Princess……"

In a ruined temple only half a mile away from Gyeonggi.

The young man who squatted in front of him always had serious eyes and dark clothes, like a silent shadow in the middle of the night.

Since he was sent to the inner court by his father at the age of 11, he became the secret guard of the eldest princess of Xia. His long-term companionship has already made Shu Yang willing to become her shadow, inseparable.

It never occurred to him that one day the royal court would be overthrown, and it would come so unexpectedly.

After Shu Yang gave the order of Empress Xia, and forcibly took the eldest princess away from the palace, she kept looking at the direction of Beijing outside the temple like a puppet, hugging her knees and not saying a word.

Shu Yang handed over two pieces of dry food, choked his throat with difficulty, and said warmly: "Eat something."

If it was in the past, Shu Yang would never have presented such crude food in front of her, and he felt ashamed.

But today is not what it used to be, this is the best he can come up with now.

Shu Yang kept his head down, until the dry food in his hand was taken by someone, his eyes flickered with flames, and he looked up cautiously.

The girl in front of her ate the food cake in her hand without saying a word, drank the cold water in her pouch, and looked directly at the only surviving hidden guard for the first time.

The rest died on the way out of the palace.

"I have no country and no home. In the future, you don't have to swear to die for me, go back and be an ordinary person."

Go back and be a normal person...

Originally, it was already a big extravagant hope, and I thought about it day and night.

But now... Shu Yang just knelt down firmly, with perseverance like iron, lowered his head and said sonorously: "This subordinate will always be by the princess's side."

"Will never die."

...

On the eve of returning to Beijing, Shi Qing had just returned to the prefect's mansion when he unexpectedly heard the news that a rebel from the former dynasty who had attempted an assassination attempt had been captured in her courtyard.

The appearance is no different from the wanted portrait.

Fortunately, on this day, she and Chu Qi went out and returned late, and escaped unharmed.

But how can there be such a coincidence... That person is Shu Yang!

For Shu Yang, if he wants to hide in Beicang City for a while, and then take advantage of the chaos to get out of the city, if he is agile and his martial arts is superior to that of Wei Lan, or he can even draw with Heju.

But he fell into the trap.

Like moths to a flame, desperate.

Since he was the murderer who killed General Wei, he should be executed according to the law. Chu Qi temporarily detained Shu Yang in the dungeon of the prefect's mansion.

Shu Yang didn't make any demands, nor did he show any resistance.

During the examination and inquiry, he kept silent.

But before the dawn of the second day, the prison guard came to report that Shu Yang had committed suicide by taking poison in prison, and the poison was hidden in his teeth.

What Shu Yang did was really puzzling.

why he came.

And why work without success.

For various reasons, I am afraid that I will never know again.

The next day, when Xiao Man was combing Shi Qing's hair, she found an exquisite phoenix-tailed jade hairpin in the dowry.

"Ma'am, why does it seem like there are more phoenix hairpins?"

Xiao Man murmured to himself: "Perhaps when the general came, he secretly gave it to Madam? Madam, do you want to wear it?"

When Shi Qing heard the words, he turned his head and glanced, but had no impression.

"Let it go."

The girl in the bronze mirror has clear eyebrows and eyes, like snow on a cold mountain.Undecorated gold hairpins and jade hairpins are still naturally beautiful and graceful.

...

The Great Xia Guild is at the end of its rope in Beijing.

Accompanying with relatives, taking the opportunity to assassinate, and even going all out to fight to the death.

Unexpectedly, Princess Daxia, who is the backbone, has now turned her back and gone to enjoy the glory and wealth of the General's Mansion.

The Great Xia Guild has long been unstable and fell apart, only one step away.

The last order Shu Yang accepted was to assassinate the traitor—the eldest princess of Xia.

She no longer cares about the glory of restoring the country, nor does she care about the subjects of Great Xia behind her.It's time to kill!

It's time to kill!
Shu Yang hates it.

What he hates is not that she betrayed Daxia and forgot the mission of restoring the country, but... for betraying him!

The bewildered feeling of being betrayed made Shu Yang truly feel that the world was so vast that he had nowhere to go and no home to turn to.

But he couldn't do it...

Just like when he confronted her that night, when he met hand-to-hand, Shu Yang was willing to receive a sword from her, and he did not want the sword to hurt her in the slightest.

When he was young, Shu Yang once stole a phoenix hairpin from the eldest princess, and hid it in the dark as a despicable concern for the shadow.

It is now yours.

I am also willing to protect you one last time, my princess.

——Shu Yang.
