The eldest daughter is not easy to bully

Chapter 80 Consolation
"Miss, you look at me like this and keep silent, I'm so embarrassed." Martin scratched the back of his head.

Ling Qing didn't intentionally keep quiet, but was thinking about what reason he would use to rescue Martin tomorrow.

The fires in the Xuanji Hall and the slums always need someone to stand up and admit it.

"Ma'am?" cried Martin.

Ling Qing looked at Martin, took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket, and poured a pill into Martin's mouth: "Take this pill."

Martin swallowed it without saying a word. He knew the purpose of Ling Qing's entry into the prison and his intention to return the pill.

He smirked and said, "Thank you, big girl."

This thank you is full of many emotions.

The pill was mixed with drowsy medicinal ingredients. Martin struggled for a while between pain and tiredness before gradually falling asleep. Occasionally, he could hear him crying out for pain in a daze.

Ling Qing didn't feel sleepy at all.

She looked at the small square window on the wall and was dumbfounded.

Until the torch was extinguished, the body still did not move half an inch, and the daze did not stop.

In the middle of the night, there was movement from the prison gate.

Ling Qing's eyes moved, and he listened attentively.

Someone was talking, but I couldn't make out what they were saying, and then there were footsteps, several people.

From far to near, they all stopped in front of her cell.

The cell door was opened, someone walked in, and then there was the sound of the cell door closing again.

Ling Qing cast her gaze away, her eyes adapted to the darkness saw the appearance of the person coming, she froze.

"It's only been closed for an hour, and you're stupid?" He wore a black jade crown, a black-patterned narrow-sleeved shirt, and a black lotus coat.

Xiao Yan, who was dressed exactly the same as when they first met, walked up to Ling Qing and sat down.

The familiar and elegant bamboo fragrance came over immediately, awakening Ling Qing.

She asked, "Why are you here?"

Xiao Yan bent his lips: "You can come, and I can come too."

"I'm not like you, I came here on my own initiative."

"You came here on your own initiative." Xiao Yan concluded, "The curfew is just a reason. I knew you would come, but it was because of Martin."

Ling Qing was taken into consideration by the words, so he involuntarily turned his gaze away and fell silent.

Xiao Yan suddenly moved closer to Ling Qing, his broad shoulders touching Ling Qing's small shoulders.

The latter frowned and stared at the former, and the crooked profile of the former happened to touch the top of her head.

Before she resisted, Xiao Yan whispered, "Want to hear about my first battle?"

Ling Qing was stunned.

Xiao Yan continued talking on his own.

"I was only 16 years old at that time, and I was one of the well-known playboys in Liang Guo. I was the best at eating, drinking and having fun."

"Until I met a person, she stepped all my strengths to the ground, and then said arrogantly that I am not as good as her." When he said this, he chuckled lightly.

Ling Qing sensed a lot of regret from this laugh.Her intuition told her that the she he was talking about might be a woman.

Xiao Yan looked at Ling Qing's tense little face, and continued: "Young people can't stand provocation the most. Just at that time, Qiu Chi country invaded and the father was injured, so I replaced the father and led the army to fight. "

"Don't look at me as a dude, but when I was young, my father gave me a lot of education."

"At that time, the Xiao family held the military power and made military achievements repeatedly. I don't know how many people were jealous. Moreover, because they were too loyal, they also offended many people."

"So, as soon as there is any movement, it will be changed beyond recognition by those people and presented to the emperor."

"Once or twice, the emperor will only feel that the ministers are making a fuss over a molehill. If he sees such impeachment day after day, year after year, his thinking will be affected."

"That's why you pretend to be a dude." Ling Qing said.

"Well." Xiao Yan continued: "After being shocked by her words, I decided not to waste time and went to the battlefield resolutely."

"She said, after you pretend to be a dude, those enemies won't be enemies? Will the emperor not be afraid of King Xiao?"

"Or return all the military power to the emperor, then resign from the military position, and become a dissipated prince. The old Xiao Wang and Xiao Wang's military achievements like running accounts will be forgotten, and then you will only be treated as ordinary courtiers?"

"No." Ling Qing answered naturally.

"Yes, no." Xiao Yan regretted: "Once some things are chosen, no matter how the process changes, there will only be one result."

"So in the end, I was no longer a dandy, but went to the battlefield. But I thought everything too simply."

Xiao Yan paused, and became a little nervous: "When I killed the first person, I had the idea of ​​retreating. But watching the people around me who just called brothers fall down, I had to lift the silver The guns keep going."

"Some are older than me, some are younger than me, and none of them backed down. As the leader, how can I back down. Only then did I really understand what a battlefield is."

"When you go to the battlefield, you have to kill people, and you have to continue to charge on the blood of your brothers. As long as you step on the ground mixed with the flesh and blood of the enemy and your own family, and win one victory after another, you can go home with your life."

After the words fell, Ling Qing's eyes fell on Xiao Yan's side face through the darkness.

She suddenly understood that he was comforting herself.

What was the scene on the battlefield? She had never been there in person, but the pictures and memories that flicked through her mind intermittently were not good.

Cruel, that is inevitable.

If you are not cruel, you will die yourself.

And that's not the saddest.

The saddest thing is that your brother saved you and fulfilled you, but in the end you let him down.

Just like she is now, she feels guilty for not protecting the original urban residents in the slums.

Ling Qing's black eyes trembled, yes, she blamed herself very much.

There is no revolution in the world that is not bloody.If she keeps blaming herself for failing to protect them this time, she will lose even more.

The belated realization almost let her emotions leak out.

Ling Qing knew that now was not the time to cry, and this was not the place to cry.

It took her two breaths to calm down, then she couldn't help but cast a glance at Xiao Yan beside her, and gave a low laugh.

Xiao Yan asked inexplicably, "What's wrong?"

Ling Qing raised her gentle face: "Martin said that Grandpa Xin in the slums died voluntarily, and so did those former city dwellers."

"The person who knows Xuanji Tang best is none other than Grandpa Xin. If they can escape the fire this time, what will happen next time?"

"Perhaps, it will be more cruel than burning." Ling Qing added.

She remembered Qi Min's statement that when You Da ran to the slums to bully them, he ravaged women and children and destroyed the weak in the most shameful way.

If they continue to be bullied, what kind of harm will they face.

Ling Qing didn't dare to imagine it.

"Well, I know." Xiao Yan said: "I know that death may not solve everything, but for Elder Xin and the others, it is a kind of relief."

Ling Qing was puzzled immediately: "Do you know Elder Xin?"

"I know." Xiao Yan said lightly.
