Luo nine needles

Chapter 226

This sentence is contradictory.

Just like people are sometimes contradictory.

In the dark cell, the wind disappeared, only Huo Lian spoke in a low voice.

"Prince Jin is the third son of the first emperor, and his concubine mother is the emperor's favorite concubine Yi."

"And Concubine Yi is the old friend of foster father."

The relationship between the two families is very simple. Concubine Yi's elder brother lives in the north with Liang Si. They are good brothers who have gone through life and death together. As the youngest daughter in the family, Concubine Yi is deeply loved and is not bound in the boudoir. She can not only ride horses and shoot arrows , You can also step out of the capital city and go to the northern border to meet your brother who has not returned home for a long time in the army.

Liang Si also got acquainted with Concubine Yi.

For the first time, the young general, who was dedicated to making contributions and only knew how to fight, had his heart aroused.

The young and delicate girl also has different thoughts about this general who is like an elder brother than her younger sister.

But before the two of them had time to express their affection, the girl returned to the capital, rode a red dress on the autumn hunt held by the emperor, and was able to match the man's archery skills.

Heaven's grace is mighty, no matter if you dare not refuse, or if the family is greedy for power, the girl under the emperor and the family can only put away her heart and enter the imperial city.

Liangsi, far in the north, also only complained about the lack of fate, and put away his thoughts, but never married a wife again.

No one knows about his affairs with Concubine Yi except the two of them, and Concubine Yi's elder brother, and Concubine Yi's elder brother will not reveal anything.

The favorite concubine of the deep palace will never have any intersection with the generals of the northern border.

However, when Concubine Yi gave birth to the third prince and the emperor celebrated her first birthday, Liangsi also sent a gift from the northern border, a crossbow seized from the leader of the Yihuang tribe.

Coincidentally, the third prince grabbed the bow and crossbow during the Catch Zhou banquet.

Of course, the emperor didn't think too much, and happily praised his son for his mighty future.

With a loud snap, Huo Lian seemed to hear the sound of King Jin smashing an old crossbow on the table again.

"This king has confiscated any gifts since he was a child. He has never taken it seriously. If he likes it today, he will throw it away tomorrow, not to mention the gifts from his one-year-old child. However, this bow and crossbow has always been hung in the royal room."

"Mother and concubine often say that I want the king to remember both civil and military skills, and live up to the expectations of my father."

"This king really thought that the mother concubine's expectation of this king was because the people who sent the bows and crossbows were different."

There was another scolding in his ear.

"My lord, be careful! Don't insult your mother and concubine."

King Jin's voice did not stop, but laughed instead.

"General Liang, you are the only one who can insult my mother and concubine, and you also brought me along. Now I suspect that my father and emperor know what happened to you back then, or else he has become more and more harsh on me over the years. Also, my mother Is the concubine really sick and dying? Is it..."

Huo Lian stood outside the window, looking at the figure reflected on the window lattice, as the candle flickered and danced, the voice also became distant and near.

"...was bestowed to death by my father?"

The adoptive father's originally bowed figure suddenly stood up straight: "My lord! Don't talk nonsense, Your Majesty has never treated Concubine Yi harshly! Concubine Yi is dying of a serious illness. Your Majesty tells the world to pray for Concubine Yi. The world can learn from it!"

King Jin just snorted: "Maybe it's a guilty conscience to show it to outsiders."

Footsteps sounded in the room, accompanied by King Jin gasping for breath.

"Why is the father treating me more and more badly?"

"He must be loathing me!"

The foster father's voice became low again, with comforting words: "Your Majesty has always been very kind to the prince, but the prince, you should restrain everyone in the palace..."

"Stop teaching me a lesson. How can I indulge the people in the palace? Isn't the prince like this? Who in the prince's palace is not arrogant?"

"Why is the father treating me well? Why didn't you let me be the prince for being good to me and kicking me out of the capital?"

The foster father's voice was raised again: "Your Highness, be careful!"

But this time King Jin's voice was even louder: "Why should I be careful with my words! My mother and concubine are dead, and I am going to die too!" He said and grabbed the person in front of him, "It's all because of you, it's you who married me. My mother and concubine Goulian—”

The foster father's figure broke away suddenly. Even though he was old, he stood up straight and was taller than King Jin.

"His Royal Highness King Jin, I and Concubine Yi have only met each other since we were young, nothing else!"

Pushed by the veteran, King Jin took a few steps back, hitting the table with a loud crashing sound, mixed with King Jin's weird laughter.

"Nothing else? Haha, ha, Liang Si, why have you never married a wife all your life?"

"I have no intention of marrying a wife. I have ten adopted sons, which are enough to pass on the incense."

"I heard that you dote on a dancing girl?"

"I'm a human being, eating fireworks in the world. Although I don't marry a wife, I'm also lustful."

"Then why did you name the dancer's daughter Siwan?"

The room was frozen for a moment, and Huo Lian, who was standing outside the window, also stopped breathing for a moment. The tall man in sight slowly dwindled down again, and next to his ear was King Jin's soft voice, coming out from the crack of the window. into his ear.

"...My uncle said that when my mother and concubine were at home, they had a nickname, Wan'er."

Huo Lian turned around from the window and left. He didn't go far away. He stood outside the courtyard gate and guarded it himself, preventing anyone from approaching.

He leaned on the bed and looked at the night before him, as if he had returned to that night again.

In fact, Prince Jin's Mansion was extremely extravagant, and at night there were lights everywhere, shining like stars, but at that time his eyes were completely dark.

"My adoptive father knew that I heard it outside the door." Huo Lian continued, "He took the initiative to find me the next day, and he also told me about the past with Concubine Yi, and Siwan's name was indeed in memory of Concubine Yi. , from the time he named it, he knew it was inappropriate, but when he thought about it, he couldn't bear it."

The past has dissipated, but he doesn't want to have nothing in his life, even if it is a name, he wants to catch it and keep it in his mind.

It's been so long, Yifei is gone, and his family lives in the far north. I thought no one would guess it, but I didn't expect...
"Actually, it's not surprising that King Jin can guess it." Huo Lian said, "My adoptive father said that he didn't do anything, but when he rarely returned to Beijing to report on his work, he proposed to the emperor to teach the princes Kung Fu, and then he was more serious to King Jin. Do your best."

Having said that, he smiled.

"But his devotion when he was a child only made King Jin hate him even more."

The pampered and pampered little prince really suffered so much, His Majesty's praise of his extraordinary martial arts was nothing more than just talking. Does a prince still need to be really martial arts to lead the army to fight?
I fell down while riding a horse in the school field and scratched my skin, and I have to take care of it for half a month.

However, when the little prince grew up and realized the power of the Tian family and the life-and-death struggle between the brothers of the Tian family, he no longer hated this general.

"He also began to care about his adoptive father, giving gifts from time to time, and calling him a teacher."

"The king of Jin is very cautious. He knows that the prince's friendship with the general in charge of the military will make the emperor jealous, and even make the prince provoke him, so he keeps it private and avoids people's eyes and ears."

"And he never made any illegal demands on his adoptive father. He just gave him a very ordinary gift during the holidays."

"Although the adoptive father knew that this was inappropriate, he had no way to refuse the approach of the son of an old man, and he convinced himself that this was really just the prince's respect and love for the teacher who taught him."

Speaking of this, Huo Lian smiled again, revealing her fine white teeth in the dark night.

"There is no respect and love for no reason in this world. Those respect and love must be returned."

What King Jin wants in return is to join him in rebellion, kill the prince, and force the emperor to abdicate and replace him.

Qi Xing, who had been listening quietly, asked, "So General Liang was tricked into coming here?"

Huo Lian nodded: "At that time, foster father received a secret letter from the King of Jin, inviting him to come to Jindi to have a look."

The king of Jin said that the meteorite fell from the sky and prayed for his father to forge an artifact. This is the task his father entrusted to him, and he must do it well.

Let the emperor see his son's heart.

It also reassures the deceased mother and concubine.

"After the death of my mother and concubine, this king has no other elders who are trustworthy. General, you are my teacher and you are proficient in weapons. Please help me palm my eyes."

When mentioning Concubine Yi, the words were so hopeful, how could Liang Si refuse.

The general is not allowed to leave without orders, let alone go to a prince's fiefdom.

"Bazi, it's just you and me. Let's ride fast and go back quickly."

Once you go, you will never come back.
