"Xiao Zhao, Xiao Zhao, let's play hide and seek." Qin Ming looked at the soft and waxy Xiao Zhao, his heart became more and more happy, and his lips kept grinning.
"Okay, okay, Xiao Zhao likes to play hide and seek with his brothers the most." Xiao Zhao clapped his hands in agreement, and the silver bell-like laughter sounded again.
"Can't find me, can't find me..." Qin Ming hid in an empty and half-leaking water tank.
"Brother Qin, I found you..." The little girl rushed over and fell straight on Qin Ming.
"Hey, Xiao Zhao, be careful..." Qin Ming hurriedly protected her head, for fear of bumping her head.
Spring passes and autumn comes, summer passes and winter comes.
"Brother Qi, your swordsmanship is getting better and better. Brother Qin can't even beat you."
Xiao Zhao was there to cheer them up.
"Xiao Zhao." Qin Ming's voice sounded slightly resentful and dissatisfied: "Is it because I didn't perform well? It's because my clothes were too long and they caught my feet, so I lost. Come again..."
"Hahaha, I'm willing to admit defeat, but I'm not allowed to cheat."
Xiao Zhao stopped the two of them: "Stop fighting, it's time to practice writing, not martial arts."
Qin Ming refused to accept: "Let's fight again."
"No." Xiao Zhao said fiercely: "As a person, you must keep your promises. Only by doing the right thing at the right time can you get twice the result with half the effort. You can't do the wrong thing at the wrong time..."
"Okay, okay, Xiao Zhao doesn't need to read anymore." Qin Ming covered his ears and pretended to have a headache.
"Xiao Zhao, it's not that I don't want to learn. Whenever I touch a book, I get a headache, a stomachache, and I feel uncomfortable everywhere. I feel uncomfortable all over..." Qin Ming was lying.
"No." Xiao Zhao grabbed Qin Ming's ear and walked towards the study: "Brother Qi has finished studying. You have to dabble in a wide range of subjects."
The sun rises and sets, and the seasons change.
Time slips away quietly between the fingers, and people grow up quietly.
The warm sun in winter gently touches the earth. The sunlight shines through the sparse clouds and shines on the silver-white snow, as if covering the earth with a golden veil. The cold wind has also become softer, no longer cutting people's cheeks like a knife.
Qi Sili was practicing his sword in the courtyard. His sword skills were like flowing clouds and flowing water, splitting, stabbing, tapping, picking, lifting, sweeping... Every move and every move was full of power and beauty. The light and shadow flickered, reflecting on his body, glowing with golden light, highlighting the young man's high spirits.
His sword danced faster and faster, as if it merged with the wind, and the tip of the sword drew elegant arcs in the air.
Qi Sili's figure was as light as a swallow, he spun up, the tip of his sword slid across the treetops, and the snowflakes were shaken by the sword energy, falling down one after another and sprinkled all over him.
A set of movements flowed smoothly, and before he could sheath his sword, there was a burst of applause in his ears, accompanied by the girl's silver bell-like laughter: "It's amazing, Brother Qi is so good."
Xiao Zhao picked up a bowl of medicine and handed it over, his words mixed with emotion: "Didn't Xiao Zhao not let Brother Qi practice swordsmanship? Why is Brother Qi disobedient?"
Qi Sili smiled slightly: "It won't be a problem."
Ever since he rescued the eldest prince who fell into the water a few days ago, Xiao Zhao has always forced him to drink ginger soup every day, a bowl of which is indispensable for three meals a day. However, the effect will always be better if he drinks it for a few more days.
How could he still fall ill from time to time like he did when he was a child and she had to take care of him every day, worrying and frightening him.
That's all, just let her be happy.
Qi Sili could only shake his head, silently picked up the ginger soup and drank it all in one gulp.
Xiao Zhao pouted and shook his head, with a serious look on his face, and said firmly: "No, Brother Qin said, let me watch you. Brother Qi, you are not good at all, I want to tell Brother Qin."
Qi Sili flicked her on the forehead, his tone was gentle and helpless: "Xiao Zhao, I am your eldest brother. The second brother dare not control the eldest brother."
Xiao Zhao let out a soft "hum" and crossed his arms across his chest: "Drink quickly, I want to collect the bowl."
"Okay, don't be angry." Qi Sili smiled fondly: "My second brother saw me later and thought I was bullying you."
"I just want to let the second brother know. I want to tell the second brother that we are two against one. Brother Qi, you will definitely lose."
"Chengchengcheng, I lost." Qi Sili touched her head and put the bowl back.
Qi Sili tightened Xiao Zhao's robe: "I won't practice any more. Xiao Zhao will wait for me at home. As for me, I want to go to the palace to meet the eldest prince. Brother Qin will come to see you later."
"Okay... then you come back early, we will wait for you to come back for dinner."
"good."
Qi Sili took a deep breath, knelt down and kowtowed, "I, Qi Sili, greet the eldest prince."
The snow is falling, and the streets have been covered with snow. The glazed red tiles are covered in silver, which is really beautiful. On both sides of the road, palace workers were clearing snow and creating a path.
Qi Sili followed the path and entered the hall. There was a blazing fire in the hall, and the light smoke of sandalwood was curling up. The warm smell it exuded gradually dispelled the cold, and the hall was surrounded by warmth.
Qi Sili bowed to the man sitting on the sandalwood table and said, "Your Highness."
"No need to be polite." The eldest prince Liang Yuanxu helped Qi Sili.
Qi Sili said: "Your Highness, how are things arranged?"
Liang Yuan said in a deep voice: "This assassination is not a trivial matter. My father is ordering people to investigate thoroughly. I think they will not make any big moves in the near future."
The Empress Dowager Liang disliked the birth of Emperor Liang Yuan when she was still alive, and preferred her younger brother Liang Xiao. She repeatedly requested the late emperor to make Liang Xiao the crown prince, but to no avail.
The movements of Empress Dowager Liang's group became more and more frequent.
He planned an accidental assassination of the eldest prince, and all the evidence pointed vaguely at the Queen Mother's faction, causing them to panic. Assassinating the eldest prince was not a trivial matter, and it would keep them busy for a while to destroy the evidence.
Liang Yuan covered his feet and coughed a few times, which slightly echoed in the quiet hall.
"Your Highness..."
Liang Yuan waved his hand: "This palace is fine."
"The border north of the Great Wall is uneven, and Rouran has repeatedly invaded our border. I have recommended you to my father, and my father has ordered Qin Ming to lead his troops to pacify the northern part of the Great Wall. Qi Sili, you will go out with the army, don't let this palace down."
Liang Yuan slowly drank a cup of tea, moistening his throat and suppressing the itchiness in his throat.
"yes."
Yesterday passed away suddenly, and tomorrow comes gracefully.
The desert in the north of Saibei is full of wind and dust, and everything is covered in desolate yellow. Only a wisp of smoke shot straight up into the pale sky in the vast desert. There is no wind, only the endless sweltering heat, the dry and missing riverbed, the yellowing sunset, and the screaming and circling crows.
Qin Ming accidentally let it slip that Uncle Qin finally discovered Xiao Zhao's existence. Fortunately, he brought Xiao Zhao to Saibei. He also had his own selfish motives.
He traveled all over the country and made great military exploits. The sword in his hand cut through all obstacles for him and cleared the way forward for him.
He made great achievements and fought bloody battles along the way. He did not dare to relax for a moment and never had a moment of relaxation and freedom.
"Brother Qi, just smile."
"That's right, Qin Ming said that the prince has a dead fish face." Xiao Xuan spoke in a low voice.
"Tsk, why are you talking nonsense?" Xiao Zhao punched Xiao Xuan on the shoulder.
"I was wrong."
"Brother Qin is praising our brother Qi, hahaha."
"Smile..." Xiao Zhao spread his face with two fingers, forcing him to smile.
"That's what makes it look good. It's more approachable..."
Saibei is tough but happy.
But fortunately, he has Xiao Zhao, he has Xiao Xuan, and he has everyone’s company...
The Dingbei Army cooperated seamlessly on the battlefield, as if they were born warriors. Together, they cut off generals and flags, and cut off generals and flags, which frightened the enemy and made them flee when they heard the name of the Dingbei Army.
The reputation of the Dingbei Army spread throughout the Great Wall, becoming a legend in this land and a legend of Ming Qi.
Because of the support of the Dingbei Army, the eldest prince Liang Yuan gained a firm foothold in the court and ascended the throne after the death of the late emperor.
When the Dingbei army returned to the DPRK, he originally wanted to ask for a decree to marry him, but Xiao Zhao lost his life on the day he returned to the DPRK.
The world was so unfair. He couldn't take revenge on the assassin just because the Empress Dowager Liang was the biological mother of Emperor Liang Yuan. And Emperor Liang Yuan was kind to him, so he couldn't kill her.
He could only hate himself and his own incompetence...
He spent a lot of effort to save Xiao Zhao.
Although Xiao Zhao lost his memory, it was okay, as long as she was by his side.
He would trade one life for another.
"Your Majesty..."
"Xiao Zhao..."
Her happiness is his greatest joy.
When he went south for inspection, he didn't want her to accompany him to endure hardships, but he wanted to see her all the time, so he took her to Jiangsu and Zhejiang with selfish motives.
He hated himself so much. If it weren't for his selfishness, she wouldn't have been captured by those bandits, causing Xiao Xuan to lose her life and make her suffer so much.
When he saw Xiao Zhao lying in the iron cage, he felt that he was about to die.
He single-handedly killed all the bandit dens, leaving corpses scattered across the fields and blood flowing thousands of miles away.
He was also afraid that he would be stained with blood and bring bad luck to Xiao Zhao.
Taoist gods and Buddhas are not the most manifest in the human world, but he visited almost every temple that year and knelt before the Buddha and swore an oath, but he could not get the Buddha to save Xiao Zhao's life.
Qin Ming persuaded him to give up, but he didn't want to. He still had something to worry about and he could save her.
He can definitely save her!
Qin Ming's prophecy lost its effect.
His Xiao Zhao would never wake up again. No matter how hard he tried or how much blood he fed, he couldn't wake her up. He already hated this world.
Emperor Yuan of Liang died of illness. Since Emperor Yuan of Liang had no children, his younger brother Liang Xiao took the opportunity to ascend the throne.
Empress Dowager Liang’s wish may have come true.
The Empress Dowager Liang was afraid of his strength, so he followed the late emperor's decree and led the Dingbei army back to the north of the Great Wall. The disputes in the court were left to the Duke of Dingguo.
Xiao Zhao, I'm sorry...
I'm sorry that I made you suffer so much.
Sorry, I am late.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
sorry……
Xiao Zhao, can you wake up?
Xiao Zhao, I will take you home.
Xiao Xuan, Xiao Zhao, I will take you back to Saibei.
…
Bodhi is a phantom, Bodhi has no tree, and the dream is not a dream.
Virtual and real, real.
A drop of blood and tears fell quietly, and was gently caught by someone's hand.
A flash of inspiration, a faint blue light.
The white plum blossoms are in full bloom, and the stamens are dripping with blood.
Surrounded by silver light, shining brightly, falling into the mortal world, just this thought...
