Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 332 The Grand Finale (12)
Tao Yu raised his hand and waved the smoke in front of him, and said angrily, "My concubine's arrogance is really getting bigger and bigger. Not only will I not pick you up when I come, but I even don't bother to get up."

After taking a few puffs of cigarettes, Xianglai got up lazily, and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I was just at the critical moment of eating, and I didn't pay my respects to the Emperor in time!"

"Food fragrance? The taste of food is more important than welcoming me!"

Xianglai said: "This incense is amazing. This is the cloud-rising incense used by Taoists. It is said that eating this incense often can seclude grains, escape from the mortal womb, and ascend by clouds!"

Tao Yu glanced at him contemptuously, and said, "You can talk nonsense, I am the Son of Dragon, and if I can't ascend in the daytime, what kind of fairy are you waiting for a woman to become!"

Xiang Lai said: "The reason why the emperor cannot ascend is because the emperor has not cultivated. The emperor's real dragon is reincarnated. If he cultivates, there is no reason why he cannot ascend!"

Tao Yu said: "Don't act strangely in front of me, I don't believe in those things!"

While they were talking, Concubine Luo had already walked to Xianglai's couch, picked up her pipe and started smoking. After taking a few puffs, she came over happily and said, "Your Majesty, this thing is really fragrant, my lord." I want to take it back and try it, anyway, I just take a few sips, and I don’t need to meditate so hard.”

It was the first time Tao Yu saw her so happy since she entered the palace, so he nodded and said, "Okay, try it if you want, but you have to let the princess teach you how to make the incense."

Concubine Luo turned her head and said to Xianglai: "Princess, how to use this thing, please teach me!"

Xianglai blinked her eyes, and said: "Teaching is fine, but what will the emperor and concubine Luo do after the teaching is over?"

Concubine Luo said: "Of course the emperor and I will go back to Jingchun Pavilion to taste the incense."

Xianglai said: "Oh, then..."

As he spoke, he walked to the side of the couch and squatted down, took out a jade box from the small drawer on the table, took out a small piece of black ointment from the box, handed it to Concubine Luo, and said: "Put it in Just light it in the incense pot, but you can use it sparingly, I have made a lot of medicine to make such a little!"

Concubine Luo said: "Okay, I'll go back and try first, if it's good, come and trouble Wangfei to help me practice more."

After finishing speaking, he took Tao Yu's arm and said, "Your Majesty, let's go back."

Tao Yu's eyes were full of unwillingness, but he reluctantly followed Concubine Luo back.

Although Tao Yu said he didn't believe it, he still tried it after Concubine Luo's persuasion after he went back. Within two days, he fell in love with this thing, and even began to believe Xiang Lai's words. Every time I inhale, there is a feeling of ecstasy.

In this way, Tao Yu became more and more addicted to cigarettes day by day. Apart from being happy with his concubines, he smoked "Sheng Yunxiang" every day. There were not many loyal ministers in the Southern Liao Dynasty, and after trying to persuade them to no avail, all the courtiers were busy putting money into their own pockets, and the Southern Liao Dynasty became even more corrupt.

And Xianglai's status in the imperial palace is getting higher and higher as Tao Yu's addiction to smoking deepens. Although Tao Yu tried his best to find out how to make "Sheng Yunxiang", even Qu Xiuchan who was beside Xianglai said I don't know the reason, but said that it was boiled with many kinds of medicines, but I didn't know that it came from the poppies in the courtyard.

Tao Yu couldn't get the production method of "Sheng Yunxiang", so he could only be controlled by Xianglai, who was controlled by Xianglai to death, and obeyed her orders.

After Xianglai's position was stabilized, he first took Luo Ping back from Tao Qian, and then asked Tao Yu to kill Lu Fusheng with an excuse, and Shi Yan's reputation in Southern Liao was too great to kill directly, so he kept Shut up in Dali Temple.

After that, Xianglai gradually got in touch with Luo Jinxing, told him the situation on his side, and the two exchanged news.

Three years passed in a flash.

On this day, Xianglai came to Jingchun Pavilion again.

The eunuch guarding the gate didn't dare to remove the barrier, and let her go straight up.

When he came to the second floor, Xianglai saw Tao Yu lying on the Arhat couch, sucking and spitting violently. His once fat body was as thin as wood, and he didn't even have much interest in women. Indulging in the lies woven by Xiang Lai.

Seeing Xianglai coming, he put down his pipe and got down from the couch, and asked eagerly: "Princess, you are here, look at me, how is my state now? I feel as light as a swallow now, will I be able to soon?" Ascended?"

Xianglai covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and sat gently on a chair. She knew the power of this thing. Concubine Luo smoked it with him for more than ten days in order to trick Tao Yu, but she became addicted until more than a year later. With the growing power of Tao Yu, she was removed from Tao Yu's side, and it took a long time to quit this thing.

Looking at Tao Yu, who was like a demon in front of him, Xiang Lai prevaricated absent-mindedly: "Well, it's almost here, the emperor himself feels it, I think it won't be long."

Tao Yu stretched out his hand, and said, "Then princess, give me some more incense, I'm almost useless!"

Xianglai slowly took out a small paper bag from his sleeve, weighed it with his hand, put it in Tao Yu's hand, and said: "Your Majesty, save yourself a little, I will make incense for you all day long, so that I won't worry about it myself." There is no time to practice."

Tao Yu held it in his hands like a treasure and said repeatedly: "Yes, the princess has worked hard! When I ascend to the heavens, I will definitely enlighten you!"

A strong disdain flashed in Xianglai's eyes, but Tao Yu's clouded mind could no longer tell whether her eyes were contempt or admiration, and he just wanted to be happy holding the incense.

Xianglai got up and said: "I have already delivered my incense, Your Majesty, I will go back if there is nothing else."

Tao Yu said: "Let's go, let's go, go back, I will continue to practice!"

After speaking, he returned to his Arhat couch.

When Xianglai walked to the door, he stopped suddenly, turned around and said, "Oh, by the way, the emperor, the King of the Northern Liao Dynasty said that he had surrendered for many years and had not come to see him. In a few days, he will bring his subjects to worship."

Just as Tao Yu took his first puff of cigarette, he heard the words: "Worship worship, I don't have time to see you, so let him not come!"

Xiang Lai said: "That can't be done, the capital of the Northern Liao Dynasty has already set off, and there is no reason to go back. If the emperor doesn't want to see him, at worst, let him go to the capital and go back."

Tao Yu said: "Okay, then come."

Xiang Lai said: "Your Majesty, remember, if any ministers ask about it, let them know."

Tao Yu gave a faint "um", and Xianglai turned around and went out.

After returning to Jin Ping Garden, she saw that Tao Qian had already returned from the South Tour Road, and was sitting at the table with little Luo Ping in her arms, playing with her.

Xianglai was taken aback for a moment, then said as if nothing happened: "Why did Chuyu come back so soon? It must be because of the exhaustion of traveling and traveling, people are all thin."

Since last year, Tao Qian found out that there was something wrong with the "Sheng Yunxiang" she gave Tao Yu, and quarreled with her several times. Although both of them wanted to be as close as before, the rift could not be erased.

This time Luo Jinxing marched south in the name of pilgrimage, Xianglai was worried that Tao Qian would have a change here, and couldn't bear him to watch the capital fall, so Tao Yu sent him out, but unexpectedly returned after only a few days away.

Listening to her question, Tao Qian's normally normal face turned gloomy, and handed Luo Ping into Qu Xiuchan's hands, while she sat there with her head in her arms.

Now Tao Qian is 15 years old, and he speaks and acts like a little man, but at the moment he feels as powerless to Xiang Lai as he did when he was a child. Happy?"

Only then did Tao Qian put her hands down, but she didn't raise her head, and said in a suppressed voice, "I'm not afraid of being tired, I just don't dare to go forward..."

Xianglai knew why he was like this, and slowly sat beside him waiting for the next sentence.

Tao Qian paused for a while and then said: "I only heard that the people's life was miserable, but I never thought it would be like that! I saw the helpless old man lying on the side of the road, so hungry that he could only breathe. An unattended child with a head bigger than his body, squatting by a puddle digging mud to eat... I saw a young man who was so hungry that he didn't even have the strength to swing a hoe, and was still digging things under the roots of trees..."

At this point, I really can't go on, so I hugged my head again and sobbed, and said while sobbing: "The common people are in dire straits, but I am here with rich clothes and rich food, listening to the ministers talking about the prosperity of the country, the prosperity of the people, and the peace of the world! I, how can I be sorry them……"

Since he found out that there was a problem with "Sheng Yunxiang", it had been a long time since he had spoken to Xianglai like this. Xianglai could understand his estrangement. How close I am to this person and how much I hate my father, but I still can't accept it psychologically.

Xianglai couldn't bear to see him so helpless, and said, "Chu Yu, you didn't cause this situation, you shouldn't blame yourself like this!"

Tao Qian said: "It's true that I didn't cause it, but I am the prince! I am the future emperor, and I have the responsibility to make them live better! But, but I can't do anything, I can only be trapped in this deep palace. !"

Xianglai didn't speak, the names of the concubines in Southern Liao didn't match their real names, so why not the prince, it was just a title on the surface, how could he have the ability to really do anything.

Tao Qian lifted up and said, "Sister, I want to ask you something, if my father wasn't such a fool, would you still use 'Sheng Yunxiang' to harm him?"

Xiang Lai frowned slightly, and nodded after thinking for a long time: "Yes, I am not a saint who worries about the country and the people, I am just a selfish woman, I have no choice but to come to Nanliao, I must deal with your father, he is a fool Whether it's Mingjun or Mingjun, I will not change my position, so...you can deal with me at ease for him and for your country."

After she finished speaking, Tao Qian looked at her sadly, but in the end she still didn't say anything, got up and strode out.

A few days later, a minister ran to Jingchun Pavilion with an urgent report, and said in panic to Tao Yu who was still inhaling incense: "Your Majesty! Terrible, the Northern Liao invaded the Southern Liao on a large scale and mobilized 20 horses in just a few days. All the way, they are approaching our capital like a broken bamboo!"

Tao Yu was startled for a moment, then remembered what Xiang Lai said, and puffed out another puff of smoke, "Don't be surprised, the king of Beiliao came to Beijing to pay homage, not to rebel, the princess told me about this."

The minister said anxiously: "Your Majesty, why are you so confused, why did you come with 20 troops for worship!"

"What about a 20 army? The Communist Party of the Northern Liao Dynasty only had tens of thousands of soldiers on the frontier. Those people who didn't make it spread rumors. Luo Xuan only brought a few ministers of civil and military affairs with him, not that many people."

Don't say that he doesn't believe that there is an army attacking, even if he does, he probably won't do anything to deal with it. He feels that he is a person who is about to ascend, and his status in the world is no longer important.

The minister had no choice but to take the memorial and go to the East Palace to look for Tao Qian after much deliberation.

Tao Qian knew what was going on as soon as she heard it, took the memorial and came to Xianglai again, threw the memorial on the table, and said, "Did you do it?! You made the King of Northern Liao attack Nan Liao?! "

Luo Ping in Xianglai's arms was taken aback, but the little guy was very serious, instead of crying, he climbed onto the table and opened the memorial to play while giggling, as if he was very happy to know that his father attacked Nanliao.

Seeing that Xianglai didn't speak, Tao Qian yelled at her: "Speak up! A few days ago, the emperor sent me to the southern tour. Is it also your idea to send me out so that your army can capture the capital smoothly!"

Knowing that he couldn't hide everything from him, Xianglai said, "Actually...you'd better not be in the capital! You've seen how Nan Liao was harmed by your father. Don't you think he's still qualified to be the emperor?"

Tao Qian said: "But that is our Tao family's country!"

Xianglai stood up and shouted: "But your father didn't treat the people as the people of your Tao family to cherish!"

Tao Qian was speechless after being yelled at by her, turned around and ran out.

Xianglai sat at the table again. She knew that Tao Qian must have tried to defend the city, but she didn't stop her, and she felt that she shouldn't stop her.

She thought that Tao Qian had never been in touch with the government affairs of Nanliao, so she must not be able to think of a way, but she didn't expect Tao Qian to go to Dali Temple to release Shi Yan.

If he had released Shi Yan three years ago, it would have been a great threat to the Northern Liao army, but now Shi Yan not only has no one soldier to control, but has been tortured in prison, and his body is no longer stronger than that of smoking "Sheng Yun". "Scent" Tao Yu is still weak, so he can only help Tao Qian with his remaining spirit.

Luo Jinxing's men and horses marched very fast, and the capital came to the city within a few days after receiving the battle report. It is said that he did not have to fight a real battle from Beiliao to the capital. They wanted to resist, but the people in the city violently beat up the soldiers and opened the city gates to meet the Beiliao troops.

20 horses besieging the capital is much more spectacular than Shi Yan's 10 besieging the capital.

It was not until the soldiers approached the city that Shi Yan and Tao Qian standing on the city knew why the army of the Northern Liao Dynasty was so popular with the people of the Southern Liao Dynasty. It turned out that only half of the 20 people in the Southern Liao Dynasty were soldiers and horses, and the other half were civilians who escorted grain carts. The grain trucks were side by side, and the people near and far not only did not hide when they saw the army, but happily rushed up to them. The Northern Liao army also distributed food when they saw the people coming, and they would never hurt and drive them away.

Seeing this appearance, the city defenders who had assembled temporarily on the top of the city didn't even bother to defend the city, they just wanted to go down and get some food to send back to their relatives at home.

Tao Qian and Shi Yan felt chilled when they saw it. Today's Southern Liao is no match for the Northern Liao. When Shi Yan besieged the Northern Liao, the Northern Liao had money, food, people's hearts and morale, but the Southern Liao had nothing. The emperor didn't even show his face, and only the prince stood at the top of the city.

The two were watching, only to hear someone behind him say: "How about General Shi, do you think it is better for the people to be afraid of you, or let them love you!"

Shi Yan and Tao Qian looked back, only to see Xianglai holding Luo Ping standing behind him, and beside Xianglai was a man with a hidden evil spirit, who could tell from his figure and temperament that he was not simple.

Shi Yan pointed at Xiang Lai and said, "You woman! I really shouldn't have brought you to the capital!"

Xiang Lai said: "It's too late for you to regret it now. If you want to blame, you can only blame your stupid loyalty. If you didn't protect Tao Yu to the death, why would you let the people of Southern Liao suffer for three more years!"

Shi Yan was unwilling to let Xianglai go, and shouted at the soldiers on both sides: "Come here! Take this woman down for me! Just use their mother and son to hold Luo Xuan hostage!"

As soon as he spoke, the man next to Xianglai pulled out his long sword with a clang, looked at the surrounding soldiers and said, "If you want to survive, stay away, if you come within five feet, your head will fall to the ground!"

Xiang Lai also said: "Nan Liao's strength is exhausted, everyone should stop being obsessed with it, and it is a wise choice to welcome the King of Northern Liao to enter the city!"

These soldiers also knew that the situation in Nanliao was over, and no one wanted to offend Xianglai, so they all stood there and watched without doing anything.

Seeing this shocking scene, Shi Yan sighed secretly in his heart, God is really going to kill Nan Liao, and he is really helpless!
While thinking about it, he looked at the sword-wielding man beside Xianglai, and he always felt that he should have had some contact with this person, so he asked, "Who are you, but a spy from Beiliao?!"

The man snorted coldly and did not answer.

Xianglai tilted his head and glanced at him, then turned around and said, "Since General Xu didn't say anything, I'll introduce to General Shi, this is Xu Lin who passed through your ten-mile company back then, and he is the vanguard of this Southern Expedition! "

Shi Yan was in despair again. The opponent's people had already entered the city. What city was he still guarding, so he asked, "So you have already deployed manpower in the city?"

Xianglai said: "What else do you need to arrange, just a piece of imperial decree is enough..." He gestured to the city and said, "Look, the people from Beiliao are already being welcomed into the city below!"

Shi Yan and Tao Qian looked down the city, and sure enough, they saw that the city gate was opened at some time, and the army of Beiliao had marched into the city in an orderly manner.

Tao Qian turned around in surprise, and said, "You falsely preached the emperor's imperial edict?!"

Xiang Lai said: "Yes, originally I could have passed on your father's decree to kill General Shi, but I couldn't bear to let a generation of famous generals die in an unclear manner, so I waited until you released him."

Before Tao Qian could speak, Shi Yan had already sneered and said, "Hmph, I'm afraid he wants to repay him in his own way!"

Xiang Lai said: "You can think whatever you want, but I'm here to tell the general, if you are willing to surrender to Beiliao, my king will never treat you badly, let alone be ungrateful like Tao Yu."

Shi Yan finally stopped talking, and turned his head weakly, his body full of injuries became even more rickety.

At this time, the Northern Liao army had already entered the city, and Luo Jinxing and Xu Che, who was a general, were among the first group of troops.

After entering the city, he heard that Xianglai was on the city wall here, so he hurriedly brought people over.

The soldiers of the Southern Liao Dynasty had a slight resistance, but they had no effect at all in front of the strong Northern Liao army, and were subdued by the soldiers of the Northern Liao Army after only a moment.

"Xiang Lai!"

After going to the city, Luo Jinxing didn't look at Shi Yan or Tao Qian, and didn't ask Tao Yu's whereabouts, but just stared at the woman holding the child.

I haven't seen her for more than three years, the woman's appearance has not changed, but she is a little more mature, holding a pink and tender child in her arms, presumably it must be her son Luo Ping who has never met.Xianglai turned her head to look, although she knew that she would meet him soon, she didn't expect him to enter the city so early.

I haven't seen you for three years, and now our eyes are facing each other, and there is a feeling as if we have passed away.

Now Luo Jinxing is wearing a helmet and armor, no longer the weak appearance of the Luo Jinxing he knew before, mature and resolute, his handsome face is slightly blackened by the wind and dust on the marching road, but he is a little more masculine.

She couldn't take her eyes away at the first glance, and stood there holding Luo Ping in a daze.

Luo Jinxing also stopped at the same spot for a moment, then strode over, came to Xianglai, opened his arms and hugged Xianglai and Luo Ping's mother and son into his arms.

"Xianglai, I made you suffer!"

"Be careful, you are finally here!"

Xianglai slowly let go, put Ping'er on the ground and stood beside her legs, then hugged Luo Jinxing with her backhand, and murmured: "Jinxing, you are here, great! You know how long I have been looking forward to this moment! "

Luo Jinxing hugged her and said tremblingly, "It's all my fault, I didn't come here until now!"

Xianglai said: "No, as long as you can come, I am already very satisfied. When I left back then, I thought that we might never see each other again in this life..."

The pain at that time made Luo Jinxing unforgettable. He hugged Xianglai and said, "You know how cruel you were that day. You left like that, and even let me abolish your princess position. In your eyes, I am like that." Heartless people!"

Xianglai quietly wiped her tears in his arms, and said: "The future was unpredictable at that time, I just wanted you to have a better life, and I just wanted you not to be restricted by Nanliao because of me, so I came up with such an idea in a daze , Later, when I came to Nanliao, I also felt that it was impossible for you to do that, so I thought of other ways!"

Luo Jinxing said: "You woman, when you are smart, no one can compare, and when you are stupid, you are hopeless, and you don't even care about the lives of yourself and your children! Fortunately, your mother and child are safe now, otherwise I would have no face to live in this world... ..."

Xianglai nodded and said: "Well, yes, fortunately we are all safe! Our family can get up together again..."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pull Ping'er, and said: "Ping'er, come quickly, don't you always look for Daddy, now Daddy is here..."

She touched while talking, and when she didn't touch Ping'er, she looked down, but she still didn't see Ping'er.

She got out of Luo Jinxing's arms and looked around, but when she saw where Qing Ping'er was, she was so frightened!

It turned out that little Luo Ping had gone to Tao Qian's place at some point, and he was being held in Tao Qian's arms at this moment.

In the past, Tao Qian loved Luo Ping very much, but now it is different, the country is about to be destroyed, and as the Prince of Southern Liao, he might do something extreme.

This kind of thought made her panic, but the fact happened exactly as she imagined.

Tao Qian, who was standing by the crenel, saw Xianglai and Luo Jinxing looking over, grabbed Luo Ping's clothes with both hands and slowly lifted him up to the crenel, and said, "Luo Xuan! I order you to retreat immediately, or I will kill you Throw your son down!"

Xianglai's legs were so frightened that she almost fell to the ground and hissed, "No! Don't do this, Chu Yu, he is your nephew, you can't do this!"

Luo Jinxing supported Xianglai, pointed at Tao Qian and shouted, "Who are you! Let him go, let go of my child!"

Tao Qian said: "Who am I? I am the prince of Nanliao! I am going to kill your child now, but you are also going to kill my father!" Then he looked at Xianglai and said, "Sister, I'm sorry, I have no other way, if the country does not survive, what is the family! After all, I am the prince of Nanliao, I have to do something for my country!"

Xianglai cried: "But you can't hurt Ping'er no matter what! You watched him grow up! The first person he saw after he was born was you!"

When they were talking, Xu Lin quietly backed away. He didn't expect that he would let the crown prince run to the enemy's place without paying attention. While blaming himself, he planned to go around the back and sneak attack Tao Qian to save Luo Ping.

But his actions were discovered by Shi Yan, pointing at him and shouting: "Xu Lin, you are not allowed to move, if you dare to take one more step, the prince will immediately throw this child down!"

Xu Lin gritted his teeth with hatred, but he didn't dare to move again. If his actions angered Tao Qian and threw Luo Ping down ahead of time, his guilt would be even greater.

Luo Jinxing from Xianglai was so anxious that he was about to go crazy, but little Luo Ping, who was held by Tao Qian, didn't know that the two people were confronting each other because of him. Opened his little hands and shouted excitedly: "Hold it high, uncle hold it high! Little uncle, Ping'er wants to fly..."

Looking at his appearance, Tao Qian felt distressed for a while. Luo Ping spent every night in his room from birth to his first birthday. He was the closest person to him except his mother, but now he was so cruel that he wanted to throw him to death. !Thinking of the lovely Ping'er falling into the city and turning into a fuzzy ball, his heart was so painful that it was split open, and his hands trembled involuntarily.

Seeing that his hands were weak after hearing Ping'er's words, Xianglai hurriedly called out to Ping'er: "Ping'er, little uncle likes you very much, give little uncle some fragrance, and little uncle will play with you!"

Ping'er opened her small hands and grabbed Tao Qian's face, pouted her mouth and tried to move forward, and said in her mouth: "Xiangxiang little uncle..."

Tao Qian couldn't bear it anymore, slowly put Luo Ping down and hugged her back, and burst into tears.

Seeing this, Luo Jinxing shouted, "Surround him immediately!"

The soldiers of the Northern Liao Army were ordered to rush up and surround Tao Qian, but because he was still holding Luo Ping in his arms, no one dared to touch him.

Seeing that Ping'er was safe for the time being, Xianglai dared not speak again, for fear of offending Tao Qian and trying to hurt Ping'er again.

Shi Yan and Tao Qian were not in the same encirclement circle, and shouted to Tao Qian through the soldiers of the Northern Liao Army: "Prince, use this child as a hostage to leave, and he will come back to take back the country in the future!"

But Tao Qian didn't listen to him, and slowly put Luo Ping on the ground, and said softly, "Ping'er, go to Mother's place, uncle can't play with you anymore!"

Ping'er wiped away his tears sensiblely, and said, "Little uncle, don't cry, little uncle is good!"

Then he ran back to Xianglai and said, "Mother, little uncle is crying, Ping'er made little uncle angry..."

Xianglai hugged Ping'er tightly and held him tightly in her arms, she was more grateful than she escaped from death.

Seeing his son finally come back, Luo Jinxing shouted: "Come here, kill Shi Yan and this Southern Liao prince right here and there!"

Xianglai was shocked again when he heard it, and shouted loudly: "No! You can't kill him!"

Luo Jinxing said: "Xianglai, what are you talking about, he is the prince of Nanliao, if you don't kill him, how can you count as destroying Nanliao!"

Seeing the soldiers rushing towards Tao Qian again, Xianglai let go of Ping'er and jumped over, stopped in front of Tao Qian and said, "Be careful, you really can't kill him! He, he saved me several times. If it weren't for him, our mother and son wouldn't be here today!"

Luo Jin acted incredulously: "Xiang Lai, if it's something else, I will definitely obey you, but I really can't let him go!"

Xianglai turned her head to look at Tao Qian who was standing with her head bowed, then turned her head to look at Luo Jinxing, knelt down slowly, and said, "Jinxing, I beg you, I really can't let you kill him! If he dies like this I will be ashamed for the rest of my life!"

Now Luo Ping doesn't know Luo Jinxing's father at all, and seeing his mother and Tao Qian running over here, Xianglai pulled him and said, "Ping'er, kneel down to daddy quickly, and beg him not to kill my little uncle! "

Luo Ping didn't quite understand what his mother was talking about, but he also knelt down along with her.

Seeing this, Luo Jinxing quickly came over to pick up Luo Ping and pulled Xianglai, and said anxiously: "Xianglai, what are you doing, don't do this, I will kill him!"

Only then did Xianglai feel relieved, and turned around and said, "Chu Yu, don't be obsessed anymore. Since the day your father became emperor, the destruction of Nanliao has become inevitable. None of this is your fault. You still Forget the past and live again!"

Luo Jinxing also saw Tao Qian's kindness from letting Luo Ping go, calmed down his anger and thought for a while, and said, "Yes, aside from the antagonism between the two countries, your kindness to our family is as great as a mountain. If you want, I can confer an official title on your behalf, and keep you well-fed and well-fed for the rest of your life!"

Tao Qian raised her head slowly, looked at Xianglai, looked at Luo Jinxing, and then looked at the little Luo Ping in Luo Jinxing's arms, shook her head slightly, and said, "No, I won't be your official, you and I It is the revenge of destroying the country, and I, Tao Qian, would rather die than betray my ancestors!"

Luo Jinxing said: "Forget it, then you leave, even if you really have a comeback day, I don't mind a duel with you, if you really have the ability to take back the ancestors, I, Luo Jinxing, will admire you!"

As he spoke, he waved to the soldier and said, "Give way, let him go!"

The soldiers slowly retreated to the sides, giving Tao Qian a way to go down the city.

Under everyone's gaze, Tao Qian turned around and walked forward step by step, but after walking for a while, she picked up a saber dropped by the Southern Liao Army from the ground and held it in her hand.

Seeing this, the soldiers pointed their swords and guns at him again, and Xu Lin and Xu Che also stood up to block Xianglai and Luo Jinxing.

Xianglai felt flustered inexplicably, feeling that Tao Qian didn't seem to want to hurt herself or Luo Jinxing, so she pushed Xu Che aside, and shouted at Tao Qian, "Chu Yu, what are you going to do?!"

Tao Qian slowly raised his sword to point at Luo Jinxing, and said, "Luo Xuan, I want to tell you that Nan Liao is dead, but it is not by your hands, but by my father's hands! I don't hate you, I just hate why God didn't let me be born ten years earlier! I hate why I have such a father..."

Then he turned his eyes to Xianglai and said, "Sister, I will call you sister one last time. In this life, besides my mother, you and Heping'er are my relatives... I beg you for one thing, let me The people of Southern Liao are as rich as those of Northern Liao!"

After finishing speaking, he crossed the sword and wiped it vigorously on his neck!
"Chu Yu! Don't—!"

Xianglai was terrified, broke away from Luo Jinxing and rushed forward.

But it was too late when she came over, a long gash was cut on Tao Qian's neck, and blood flowed out like a small river.

Tao Qian's eyes were wide open, staring straight at the distant sky, his expression was full of unwillingness.

After half of his body was covered with blood, his body finally fell down!

Xianglai fell powerlessly in a pool of blood, tears burst out, and murmured weakly: "Why did you do this, why did you do this, you could have lived a good life, you are only a teenager, you have not yet really lived..."

Luo Jinxing also felt distressed when he saw it. He didn't expect such a young boy to have such integrity, so he couldn't help but stood beside Tao Qian's body in silent tribute.

At this time, a sad voice sounded from the side: "Prince! You take a step slowly, wait for the old minister..."

Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw that Shi Yan had already climbed up the city wall while no one was paying attention, and was standing on the crenel with his head facing the direction of Luo Jinxing and Tao Qian's remains. Luo Xuan, you didn't really jump off the city that day, let me jump today!"

As he said that, he tilted his body to the side and plunged down!
