Dragon Warrior

Chapter 12 Zhao Min
A night without words.

The next day, just after dawn, Shan'er was ordered by the Princess to urge Xiao Jing to go to work.

Putting on the precious moon white gown specially prepared by the princess, Xiao Jing transformed into a young prince in troubled times.Saying hello to the master, followed the umbrella all the way to the princess's residence, and started his one-month career as a servant.

The princess didn't make things difficult for Xiao Jing any more, saying that he was a servant who served tea and water, but in fact he didn't have to do anything. He ran around with the princess all day long, talked, chatted, practiced martial arts, and lived happily ever after. It's also comfortable.On the morning of the third day, the medicinal power of Shixiangruanjinsan on Xiao Yuantai's body was completely dissipated, so he left the palace and went back to the Beggars' Gang to take charge of the affairs. Xiao Jing was quite speechless.

Following Xiao Yuantai's departure, Xiao Jing was completely relieved, and simply let go of his temper to play around with the little princess, completely treating himself as a child.During this period of time, I did not see King Ruyang. It is said that he went to suppress the rebellion, and brought his son Wang Baobao with him to teach by example at any time. Therefore, the princess is lawless in the mansion, and no one can control him.

"Hey, your name is obviously Xiao Jing, why did your master call you Xiao Jiu?" After galloping in the field for a while, both of them were a little tired, so they found a clean stone slab and sat down to rest.The princess naturally leaned her back against Xiao Jing, and asked curiously.

Xiao Jing glanced at Shenjian Yaxiong and others who were following far away, and was slightly silent, but it brought back a not-so-pleasant past.

"Because I am ranked ninth among my peers in the clan, my father gave me a nickname called Jiu Shao (shao, read twice). The adults in the family often call me Xiao Jiu. After following Master, Master then Also call me Xiao Jiu."

"Well, Emperor Shun had the music of "Jiu Shao" written by Yu's family, so "Kui's music, the ancestors came to test, the queens wanted to let the birds and beasts dance, Xiao Shao was ninety percent, the phoenix came to the ceremony, and the beasts led the dance." , and there is another poem that goes: "Jiu Shao, nine changes and five tones, all four friends are in one body." Your surname is Xiao, and your name is Jiu Shao. name." The princess exclaimed.Then he became even more curious, and asked: "Since your family is a family of poems and books, why did you follow your master and become a beggar? Your adults are willing to let you hang out in the rivers and lakes?"

Xiao Jing said melancholy: "I don't have any family anymore. I've been alone for a long time. If Master didn't save me, the tree on my grave would be as thick as you."

The princess was startled, turned sideways, and saw Xiao Jing's sad face, couldn't help feeling pain in his heart, stretched out his hand to tightly hold Xiao Jing's cold right hand, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I never heard you say But, I won’t mention it next time!”

Then he softly comforted: "Don't you still have a master? It can be seen that your master loves you very much. Besides, and there is me, I will always treat you well. You have to believe that there are still A lot of people who care about you, they don't want you to be sad."

After all, Xiao Jing is a man of two lifetimes, with a firm mind, and it is not that he has not experienced life and death in his previous life, and he gradually looks down on such things.At this time, it was just a little sentimental. Since his birth, his parents in this life have treated him quite well, but unfortunately, they have no chance to repay him.

The words of consolation from the princess warmed her heart slightly. Xiao Jing himself is not a person of high moral character. He has established himself in this world and planned many ways. He is neither for the common people in the world nor for the peace of the martial arts. What he pursues is from the very beginning In essence, it is to live freely and freely in this filthy and chaotic world full of smell.

Suddenly coming from the peaceful age to the chaotic world where human life is as cheap as a dog, Xiao Jing is always wary. He thinks that he does not have the fate of Zhang Wuji, who is invincible in martial arts. Peerless cheats, if you are fed a meal by others, you can rest assured that even if you have a good hand of cards, you will still be able to live a secluded life that only envies mandarin ducks but not immortals in the end.

Xiao Jing had a slow temper in her previous life, and this life is even more slow to almost indifferent.Although in the eyes of others, he, Xiao Xiaogongzi, is generous and generous, but only he knows that since his rebirth, he has hardly had any affection for anyone, and he is almost instinctively guarding against everyone around him. Everyone is wary, except for this body's parents and teacher Xiao Yuantai.

Although the princess has known him for a short time, he can feel that the princess is really good to him, and the care from the heart cannot be concealed, and the princess has never concealed it.

I hope ten years later, you can still remember what you said today.Xiao Jing secretly sighed inwardly.

Shaking his head, to dispel some negative thoughts in his heart, Xiao Jing smiled and said: "You don't have to blame yourself, you have to be sad a few years ago, and today, even if others mention it, I don't feel much. , to be honest, I was too young back then, and I didn't remember things very clearly, and now I only have a vague image of my parents."

Seeing that Xiao Jing became cheerful again, the princess also felt better. He held Xiao Jing's hand tightly and said with a smile: "In this case, do you mind telling me about the situation at that time? I want to know more about it. Take a look at your past."

Xiao Jing said: "There is nothing to say. My father died of an illness when I was three years old. My mother grieved day and night, but she still took care of me firmly. Not long after that, the local magistrate coveted my mother's beauty, threatened and lured her, and my mother If she refuses to die, then the magistrate is ready to come. My mother, with a strong nature, lures the magistrate to my house for a drink, gets him drunk, and then takes the opportunity to set the house on fire, ready to die together. My mother and son, unexpectedly, my mother had the will to die early, and after entrusting me to the master, she took the initiative to set herself on fire, and finally died in the sea of ​​fire."

Xiao Jing recounted this tragedy in the world in a calm manner. The Princess' face turned pale when she heard it. After a long while, she sighed: "Auntie is chaste and strong. Before she died, she dragged her enemy to her death. She is really a role model for our generation of women. I only hate you. I was born 20 years late, so I didn't have the chance to see her."

Xiao Jing hurriedly said: "Fortunately, I was born 20 years late, otherwise, what should I call the Princess, is it Da Aunt or A Niang?"

The Princess beat him lightly a few times, but didn't refute, and didn't know what he thought of, two clouds flew up on his cheeks.

The two were walking hand in hand on the hillside. The princess remembered something and said to Xiao Jing, "I'm going to choose a Han Chinese name. What do you think is nice?"

Xiao Jing smiled and said, "Why did you suddenly choose a Han Chinese name? Isn't your Mongolian name 'Minmin Temu'er' very nice?"

The princess said: "It sounds nice, but you never call it. I know you don't like Mongolians, so I want to choose a Han name so that you can dilute my Mongolian identity in your heart."

There was a warm current in Xiao Jing's heart. He knew that sooner or later the princess would have a Chinese name called "Zhao Min", but he didn't expect that the original intention was just to downplay the Mongolian identity in his heart.

Xiao Jing turned around and held the hands of the princess with both hands. The two stood facing each other. Xiao Jing said softly: "You don't have to do this. I don't like the Mongols because they kill and oppress the Han people everywhere. As a The natural position of the Han people determines my attitude towards the Mongols. But you are different, you have never participated in the exploitation of the Han people, and your status is given by God, it is not up to us to decide, you have done a good job .”

The princess looked at Xiao Jing with burning eyes, and said firmly: "I have already decided, in fact, I wanted to tell you a few days ago, you just need to help me refer to what kind of name I should choose. "

Seeing that the princess has made up her mind, Xiao Jing could only say softly: "Then what do you think?"

The princess said: "I thought of a name myself, and the name is taken from the word Min in my current name. As for the surname, what do you think of the surname Xiao?"

Xiao Min?Xiaomin?Xiao Jing couldn't help shaking her head when she heard it, feeling guilty for destroying classics.

The princess asked strangely: "Why do you think the surname Xiao is not good? Don't you also have the surname Xiao?"

Xiao Jing said: "The surname Xiao is good, but I don't think it is worthy of the beauty and dignity bestowed by the princess. The princess should take a better surname."

"Then what do you think my last name should be?"

"I suggest the surname Zhao."

"why?"

"Well, the surname Zhao is the surname of the former emperor. It is unparalleled, and it is most worthy of being a princess. Most importantly, I think it sounds best to be called Zhao Min, and I like it the most."

"Okay, since you said so, the surname is Zhao."

"From today onwards, my name will be Zhao Min!"
