The arrival of the fifth prince Yi Chenxuan cast a shadow over the Yaoguo expedition, where the war was about to begin. No one knew what he was here for. They only knew that from the moment he stepped into the military camp, the inseparable general and the prince and concubine had the same power.
Water and fire fell apart, and the two people changed from being like glue to living separately, becoming strangers.
No, perhaps worse than a stranger. Even others could feel the cold chill when their eyes met, and it was even worse when the fifth prince appeared.
Xiao Baishan was very worried when he saw Yi Chenjing suddenly fell silent. He is the commander-in-chief and the leader of an army of 200,000. If Yi Chenjing's mental state is not good, the momentum of the three armies will be affected. But what can be done? He always asks with fear.
Bai Qige, who only got one sentence: "Don't talk about other people's business", who wandered between the tent and the cage all day long, refused to reveal anything. Everyone could only guess from the face of the young man locked in the cage who had a vague resemblance to Bai Qige.
Did something happen to the Bai family?
For three days and three nights, Bai Qige didn't drink even a drop of water and couldn't sleep at night. She ran to see Bai Haoyu several times in the dark, just because she had an ominous premonition without any reason. Although she knew Yi Chenjing's character, she didn't fully understand it. For example, she
I didn't expect him to be so heartless, let alone hate him so much that almost four years later he still couldn't let go of the past grudges.
She also hates Bai Haoyu and her brother for not living up to expectations. At such a young age, he looks like a dandy and is so bold that he dares to attack a princess of a country. But what she hates the most is herself, or in other words, she hates the owner of this body. She really hates him.
Bai Qige learned from Bai Haoyu that the two sisters, who were lovers at that time, had quarreled more than ten times, all because of Yi Chenjing - the naive Hong Xiao thought that the three of them could continue to be happy by persuading Yi Chenjing to marry Bai Qige as his concubine.
Our hearts are together, but unexpectedly, someone's heart has changed and jealousy is flying.
That day, Bai Qige persuaded Bai Haoyu to take people to ambush by the river. After luring Princess Hongxiao there, she confessed that either they were concubines regardless of size, or Yi Chenjing had to marry two wives. Princess Hongxiao didn't think so.
The sisterhood made such an extravagant request, and in a hurry, they spoke too harshly and started an argument. Bai Haoyu, who was hiding in the grass, saw that the situation was not right, so he listened to the encouragement of his subordinates and rushed forward. Yun Zhongjin explained what happened next.
; Nine are inseparable from each other.
When it comes to the root cause, it was her design and indifferent observation that killed Princess Hongxiao.
Bai Qige has never been lost like this. Even if you don't have something you haven't got, you won't feel sorry for it. Only those who have experienced it will understand the pain of losing what you have already got. The burden on her shoulders is getting heavier and heavier, and she gradually
The loss of power can no longer be borne, the Bai family, relatives, war, and Yi Chenjing's capriciousness...
Even the desire to rest is gone, I just hope to fall into a deep sleep and never wake up.
"I have said before that no man in this world will treat you sincerely. You don't believe it. That's why you end up in this situation." Under the scorching sun, Yi Chenxuan found Bai Qige standing not far from the cage and said,
His face had known that such an expression was really disgusting, "Do you understand now, Seventh Brother doesn't have you in his heart at all. Compared with Princess Hongxiao, you are just a shadow with a little value."
Bai Qige ignored it and still looked silently at her brother who kept moaning in the cage.
"You can pretend you can't hear me, but sooner or later you will understand what I mean. Qi Ge, I used to like you so much, how could I deceive you?" The fingertips of Yi Chenxuan's lips moved slightly as they touched his pale cheek.
Slanting, mocking eyes disguised as gentleness, a low voice almost whispered, "You are just the shadow of Hong Hao. Do you understand what a shadow is? She died, leaving behind you who had the most contact with her during her lifetime, and your personality is so different from hers.
Similar, that's why seventh brother can't help but want to get you. What will happen if he gets you? He has no feelings for you after all. Through your ugly face, he sees that you are Hong Hao, an existence that you can never reach!"
I don’t want to listen, but the words fall into my ears. I don’t want to see, but I can’t hide the lies in my eyes.
The heartache that had never stopped in the turmoil became more intense with Yi Chenxuan's words. Bai Qige suddenly realized that she had overlooked a very important thing - what did Yi Chenjing love about her?
As smart as she is, she forgot such a crucial issue.
Maybe she didn't want to ask at all.
The cage was at the edge of the camp, surrounded by roughly erected wooden fences and stables. Except for two soldiers guarding the cage a few dozen feet away, there was no one around. Yi Chenxuan became more and more unruly due to the silence, lowering his head.
She stopped stroking the side of Bai Qige's messy temples and spoke in a low and ambiguous tone: "How about giving up on him? I can do what he can do. As long as you stop helping him, I can save you and your brother from here. The rest of your life -
—”
"In the second half of your life, you will enjoy endless glory, wealth, and power, right?" Coldly interrupting Yi Chenxuan's words, Bai Qige stared at the cage with her eyes fixed on her, the meaningless smile at the corner of her mouth made people feel cold in her heart.
"If I continue to believe what you say, I will die without knowing how."
Yi Chenxuan understood Bai Qige's stubborn temper. What she said just now was just a test. Since it hit a snag, he stopped trying to persuade her and walked away from her with his hands behind his back. He still said indifferently: "I'll give you a chance."
Don't blame me. In fact, I don't need to help you at all. Even if I don't do anything, you and your seventh brother will never be able to return to the original relationship. Bai Qige, I'm looking forward to the day when you two turn against each other. It will be him who is cruel and ruthless.
Should he be completely eliminated, or should you kill him by force first? I will watch carefully and watch you play the most ridiculous tragedy for me."
"Even if it is a tragedy, the ending will not be good for you."
If it is destined that she must die, then she will definitely drag Yi Chenxuan to hell, mountains of swords, seas of fire, and hell's torture. Only he will never let him go!
Bai Qige was left alone in the cold empty space again. She clenched her fists tightly, glanced at the gloom with firm eyes, and revealed an inexplicable smile on her pale face.
"General, I'm afraid that boy won't be able to survive for a few days if he continues to be exposed to the sun, right?" Xiao Baishan hesitated and spoke in the Chinese army's tent.
Yi Chenjing waved his hand casually: "Don't worry about it, life and death are determined by fate. Whether you live or die depends entirely on God's will." After pondering for a moment, Yi Chenjing, who had his head buried in the battle picture, finally raised his head, with a bit of darkness in his eyes, "Prince and concubine, these days
How is the weather?"
"Still not eating, drinking or resting, at night when the soldiers were slacking off and taking a nap, they would secretly send some water to the young man. Even if the doctor tried to give her a good pulse, he would not be able to give her a good pulse. He would either stand in the cage or stay bored in the tent. In the end,
I am worried that if this continues, the princess will not be able to support her!"
Rolling up the battle map and putting it aside, Yi Chenjing leaned back in the chair tiredly, looking tired.
"General Xiao, among the many deputy generals who have joined the army, you are the one I trust the most. I hope you will not disappoint me."
Xiao Baishan didn't know why, but he still kneeled down on one knee cleverly: "I am willing to work hard for the general, even if I die!"
"Get up, you are a senior. Kneel down to me and you will shorten my life." Yi Chenjing smiled bitterly. His handsome face seemed to have gone through many changes. However, the smile disappeared in an instant, and his eyes returned to the same coldness as before. "Send the order, Bai Haoyu, the third son of the Bai family, is collaborating with the enemy."
He is treasonous and attempts to disrupt our Dayao war. He will be burned at noon the day after tomorrow to shock the power of our Dayao army!"
"...The general will not dare to accept the order." After hesitating for a while, Xiao Baishan replied tremblingly.
Bai Haoyu, the third son of the Bai family, indeed that young man has a close relationship with the princess, but how did he come to be brought by the fifth prince and why did he make the general angry? In any case, killing Bai Haoyu will not only offend Bai Qige, but also involve the famous Zhongzhou
The Bai family, you must know that the prestige of the Bai family is unparalleled in the hearts of Zhongzhou soldiers, and even enemies rarely speak ill of them. If Bai Haoyu is killed, how can the Bai family give up?
Xiao Baishan thought carefully and carefully, and saw that the relationship between Bai Qige and Yi Chenjing took a turn for the worse. The deputy general in his prime became more and more worried and did not dare to give the order to burn Bai Haoyu to death.
Yi Chenjing seemed to have expected Xiao Baishan's reaction. He narrowed his long eyes and said in a colder voice: "Is it empty talk to say that I will die even if I don't give up? I asked you to pass on an order, but there were always pushbacks. That's all. If you don't pass it on, someone else will pass it on!
"
"I dare to ask the general to think twice! The status of the prince and concubine is different from that of ordinary people. To kill the third young master of the Bai family is to make enemies of the prince concubine and the two generals of the Bai family. Killing someone like this without any reason will only make outsiders suspicious.
The morale of our army is not good!"
"I will consider the pros and cons myself, I don't need you to give me any advice!" Yi Chenjing also raised her voice along with Xiao Baishan, her tone seemed to be very impatient, "Do as I say, this is an order, if you still want to be
This lieutenant general should stay out of things he shouldn't!"
Military orders are like mountains, and Xiao Baishan, who has been in the army for half his life, regards the general's orders as everything. How can he dare not to obey them? After struggling for a long time, he finally nodded heavily, looking helpless.
After hesitating on the spot for a long time, when Yi Chenjing looked at him coldly, Xiao Baishan swallowed his saliva and said in a low voice, "Then... should I hide this matter from the princess?"
"No, there is no need to hide it from her." Yi Chenjing objected without hesitation, as if Bai Qige had never had anything to do with him, "The day before the execution, I promised her to see Bai Haoyu again, and also prepared meals to send to Bai Haoyu, so why not say anything before going on the road?
Let him eat and drink well so that he will not go to the underworld and say that I am harsh and cruel." After frowning and thinking for a while, Yi Chenjing ordered again: "By the way, the soldiers guarding the cage should be replaced with reliable ones. If there is any accident or accident,
In case, you are the only one asking."
"General...take the order." After the painful response, Xiao Baishan quietly raised his head and looked at Yi Chenjing in the chair, hoping to see something in the young general's eyes. However, to his surprise, Yi Chenjing was not as good as
It was expected that the eyes would be full of hatred or show a happy expression of getting rid of the thorn in the flesh, but instead showed a sophisticated and deep look that was inconsistent with his age. There was something hidden in the eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and the eyes shone with a gleaming light of foresight.
What were he thinking about? Xiao Baishan couldn't help but guess hard. He discovered that the prince-general, who was originally considered young and ignorant, was by no means an idle name. Yi Chenjing's intelligence and decisiveness were fully revealed during the march, and his resourcefulness was difficult to predict.
It makes people even more imaginative, and they can't help but want to get closer to Yi Chenjing to see what kind of genius this seventh prince of Dayao really is.
Is he a ruthless general who does not hesitate to sacrifice his beloved woman to expand his territory for the sake of national peace and security, or...
