When the rain fell, the sacrifice site was already empty. (Due to caching reasons, please visit the browser directly.\nCOM website to watch the fastest chapter updates)
The soldiers and officials who had participated in the ceremony before, including the Xuzhou Battalion, had already evacuated, and the people who were watching had already fled when the fighting between the sergeants of various ministries was imminent, leaving only a few brave ones who discovered that the heavy rain was coming.
Oh, it's a clean walk.
Under the altar, three simple tents were set up.
The carriage that She Yue was riding in was still there, and Qin Xiao originally wanted to escort She Yue away, but the two great masters had no choice but to leave, so they could only ask She Yue to go into the tent and wait.
After all, She Yue came with the Master. Naturally, she could not treat him as a princess in front of the Master.
The Master is not only a great master, the pinnacle of power in the world, but he was also the late emperor's tutor. In terms of seniority, She Yue should also be in awe of him.
From She Yue's point of view, the master came to Xuzhou for her, and even took action to confront the butcher. Naturally, he could not leave until the winner was determined.
When the young aunt saw the heavy rain falling, she got into a tent first.
She is in the Great Heaven Realm, and there is no need to accompany the two grand masters in their tent at this time. After all, with her strength, she can immediately detect anyone approaching the grand master's tent nearby.
As soon as he got in, he immediately stuck his head out and waved to Qin Xiao: "Qin Xiao, come in and take shelter from the rain."
Heavy raindrops were already falling. Qin Xiao was about to go over when he heard She Yue already inside the tent saying: "General Qin Qin, please come in. I have something to discuss with you."
Qin Xiao glanced at the junior aunt and saw that the junior aunt was blinking at him. He hesitated and then said: "Little aunt."
Sister, you have a good rest, I will go in to see the princess."
"I forget my friends when I see sex." The young master's aunt glared at her, but thought that when it came to beauty, she was no weaker than She Yue, and she didn't talk nonsense, so she retreated into the tent.
Qin Xiao took a deep breath, then walked over, lifted up the tent and entered She Yue's tent.
Naturally, it was impossible to light a lamp inside the tent, so it was quite dark.
She Yue sat on a soft cushion in the tent. When she saw Qin Xiao come in, her lips moved, but she couldn't make a sound. She hesitated and finally said: "Sit down and talk."
Qin Xiao saw two soft cushions next to She Yue, which was quite close to She Yue. It was not easy to sit next to She Yue at this time, so he took a soft cushion and moved some distance away before sitting down.
He naturally felt that She Yue was staring at him, but he did not dare to make eye contact with She Yue, and felt quite depressed.
She Yue is so smart. If there were many people watching outside before, it was not too close, but now there is no one else around. The two of them are alone in the tent, but Qin Xiao does not feel the joy and excitement of seeing each other again after a long separation.
It made her feel confused and a little disappointed.
"If it wasn't you this time, I'm afraid!" She Yue sighed quietly.
Qin Xiao thought for a while and then said: "Princess and lucky people have their own destiny, and they can turn disaster into good luck."
He spoke simply and clearly.
There was silence in the tent for a while, and then She Yue asked: "Why did Master come to Xuzhou suddenly? Do you always know Master's whereabouts?"
Qin Xiaodao: "Actually, the Master has always been in Kyoto, but he has hidden his identity for many years, so no one else knows. He is hidden in the city, and no one thinks that the Master is at the feet of the emperor." After a pause, he
He said softly: "Princess knows that General Gu Baiyi is actually from the master's family."
She Yue was surprised and said: "Is he a disciple of the Master?"
"Yes." Qin Xiao said: "We wiped out the Liaodong Army. Wang Xingchao said a few words before he died. General Gu and I thought about it carefully and suddenly realized that King Qing might have faked his death and escaped. In the past twenty years,
, he may have been secretly deploying, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback."
"So you think Li Chengqing will be in Xuzhou?"
"We can't be sure." Qin Xiao said: "But Ye Chaoxuan's rebellion was very strange at the beginning, and we thought that if King Qing wanted to make a comeback, he would definitely need an army of troops. When Xuzhou raised troops, the backer behind Ye Chaoxuan was probably Li Chengqing. If Ye Chaoxuan
To rashly raise troops in Xuzhou without a backer is to seek death. Only by relying on Li Chengqing and raising the banner of reviving Li Tang, Ye Chaoxuan may have a chance of survival." After a pause, he said: "Realizing this possibility, I thought of Li Chengqing.
It might be detrimental to the princess, so I rushed over immediately."
She Yue bit her red lips before saying, "I didn't expect that Li Chengqing was still alive, so I didn't have any precautions. He suddenly appeared and caught me off guard. I couldn't resist him at all."
"Everything Li Chengqing has used in the past twenty years has been underhanded tactics." Qin Xiao said: "The chaos in Jiangnan, the grassland epidemic, and the seizure of power in Xuzhou are all his work."
"Will the Queen Mother have something to do with him?"
"This matter is very complicated to talk about." Qin Xiao sighed: "Li Chengqing is not only Mr. Da, but also Qingzhou Haotian. It's just that this person can't do things honestly.
He is used to insidious and cunning methods. In fact, Li Chengqing planned carefully this time to seize power in Xuzhou and almost succeeded. To be fair, if General Gu hadn't judged that Li Chengqing might be in Xuzhou and sent a letter to Kyoto to convey the news, the master would have rushed there immediately.
Come on, the princess and I alone may not be able to reverse the situation."
She Yue was still frightened, knowing that Li Chengqing's plan was actually very careful, but the only thing he didn't expect was that the master would come out in person.
Without his master, Li Chengqing would naturally have an absolute advantage, and with the great master Butcher beside him, Qin Xiao, even with his extraordinary powers, could not defeat Li Chengqing head-on.
"Li Chengqing can no longer cause trouble." Qin Xiao said softly: "I will definitely assist the princess in reviving Li Tang. Princess, don't worry."
She Yue raised her head, stared at Qin Xiao, and said: "Actually, once Li Chengqing died, the pure bloodline of Li Tang was almost cut off."
"There is also the princess." Qin Xiao said: "The princess can still represent Li Tang."
But She Yue lowered her head, remained silent for a long time, and then said: "There is something I want you to know after all."
Qin Xiao asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"
"I don't know if it's appropriate to tell you at this time." She Yue sighed quietly: "But I don't want to hide it from you. If there is only one person in this world that I don't want to deceive, it's you." She looked at Qin Xiao and said: "You
Why don't you sit next to me? Do you dislike me?"
Qin Xiao was a little embarrassed and could only say: "The princess misunderstood, it's just that!"
"Then sit over here." She Yue said.
Qin Xiao hesitated, wondering whether to tell the truth that he was the prince of the Tang Dynasty.
Yue, but when this idea came up, he was immediately rejected by himself.
If She Yue learns the truth, he really doesn't know whether She Yue can withstand such a blow.
In fact, he had already made a decision before. This matter could not be announced to the outside world no matter what, let alone She Yue. He had to bear everything by himself.
He didn't want Musk Moon to be hurt that badly.
Ever since he found out about his parentage, he felt very upset. He only regretted that he had been greedy for She Yue's beauty and had become a couple.
But he also knew that he couldn't blame himself entirely, let alone She Yue.
Who would have thought that a boy from a remote village in Xiling would be the prince of the Tang Dynasty.
Fate plays tricks on people.
"That's all." Seeing that Qin Xiao didn't move, She Yue smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I'm too stupid and controlled by others?"
Qin Xiao did not hesitate, stood up, sat directly next to She Yue, even held She Yue's hand, and said softly: "Princess is the smartest person in the world. It's just a struggle for power and position, traps and swords at every step."
Seeing blood, the princess is still too naive compared to those real conspirators, so she will be at a disadvantage. But you don’t have to worry, I will be by your side no matter what time, and no one will bully you."
Being held by Qin Xiao, She Yue felt a warmth all over her body, and she couldn't help but lean towards Qin Xiao. Although Qin Xiao was under too much psychological pressure, she still allowed She Yue to lean on his shoulder with one arm.
Qing Huan is behind She Yue.
He knew that She Yue was under a lot of pressure. Now that Li Chengqing had collapsed and he was by her side again, she would truly take off her armor and become a weak woman.
After all, what she needs right now is a
Warmth.
"The princess said there is something she wants me to know. I don't know what it is?" Qin Xiao said: "There is no need to be taboo between you and me. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me."
She Yue pondered for a moment and then said: "Actually, I just learned about this matter before I left Kyoto. Now, apart from me and Mei'er, the only people who know about this matter are the Saint and the Great Heavenly Master!"
"Great Heavenly Master?" Qin Xiao asked in surprise: "Is the princess talking about the Great Heavenly Master from Yutiantai?"
She Yue said softly: "Yes." After a pause, she seemed to have made up her mind, and finally said: "I am the daughter of the Great Heavenly Master."
Qin Xiao didn't react for a while, and asked curiously: "The daughter of the Great Heavenly Master? Didn't the Great Heavenly Master sit in the palace and control the Tiantai, and never got married and had children? Where did he get his daughter? Yes, princess, who are you talking about?
Is it his daughter?"
"Me!" She Yue sat up, turned half sideways, stared into Qin Xiao's eyes and said, "I almost committed suicide in the palace, but the Great Heavenly Master saved me. Only then did I know that I am not of the late emperor's blood, and I am not of the same blood as Li
There is no connection with my family. My surname is not Li, but Yuan. The Great Celestial Master Yuan Fengjing is my real father."
Qin Xiao's body trembled, and he looked at She Yue blankly, his mouth opened, and he seemed to have stopped breathing.
"I know this matter is unbelievable." She Yue said with a bitter smile: "But it is indeed true. The Great Heavenly Master and Sheng He Xiahou had an old relationship, and that's why I was born. In fact, my status is very humble, I am their illegitimate daughter
.Only then did I realize why the Great Celestial Master, as a Grand Master, could stay in the palace for twenty years. It turned out that he was
For Xia Hou, for the woman he has been in love with for half his life. But Xia Hou finally let him down. He saw through Xia Hou's callousness and hypocrisy in one move, and then he took me away from Kyoto." Looking at Qin Xiao's eyes, he said softly: "I
I can’t hide it from you, I am not a princess of the Tang Dynasty, this is the secret I want to tell you.”
Qin Xiao's eyes widened with a look of shock, but soon, excitement appeared in his pupils. Suddenly, he hugged She Yue and stood up, hugging She Yue like a windmill.
