Lord of Time!

Chapter 82

The fire suddenly came on.

In the corner where the earth and rocks were piled up in disorder, a figure stood up, holding a torch in his hand.

The thin figure is helpless and cold, with a small face painted with flowers, and the eyes are full of water.

Chen Ping found that Hualian'er's face was even more dirty, and it seemed that he had cried secretly.

"Seventh brother, is that you?"

Hualian'er let out a cry of joy and ran out, nearly falling down.

Chen Ping quickly went up to meet him, and as soon as he held him, he felt his soft body plunge into his arms. Soon, his clothes were wet, and he could hear bursts of sobbing.

"You know it all?"

Chen Ping touched her head, but he actually had some doubts in his heart.

He guessed some things, but he didn't quite understand why the barbarians came to arrest a little girl so violently.

It doesn't make sense.

"They refused to leave the small table and stool, so I hid, thinking they couldn't find me, and they would be fine... woo woo woo..."

Even though Hualian'er was crying sadly, she still suppressed her voice with all her strength, for fear of being listened to.

"Little Stool is dead, but I have already avenged him... Little Table is fine, I told him to change his appearance and hide, so no one will pay attention to him."

Chen Ping didn't know how to comfort this helpless little girl.

Speaking of which, if she didn't kill Boren, Boren died because of her...

This matter is a bit helpless, I have to figure it out on my own, it's not just a simple sentence of consolation that can be regarded as nothing happened.

"My father is King Jinghai. He has guarded the south of the Yangtze River for fourteen years. There used to be a saying here that King Jinghai has the final say on whether the Xingqing Mansion is in chaos or not, but it's all in the past."

Hualian'er cried for a while, calmed down a little, sat on the mound of dirt, and talked about the past sadly.

Chen Ping listened silently without making a sound.

"Since Yujing sent a decree three years ago to abolish the military power guarding the royal mansion in various places, the atmosphere in Xingqing Mansion has become weird. Especially after hearing that several Uncle Wang raised the flag to rebel and was quickly extinguished, the father became very angry. Some are taciturn.

However, he didn't say much, he just handed over his military power and indulged in sensuality all day... Until, until the Dongyi pirates invaded, the government was helpless, and the people suffered heavy casualties.Only then did he pick up the long sword again, and ran around killing thieves. "

Hualian'er obviously didn't know much about King Jinghai.

It should have been well protected when he was in the palace.

She doesn't even know how to practice martial arts, so she can be expected to care about national affairs.

When the Hu people invaded in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, wars broke out everywhere, and when millions of refugees flooded into the south of the Yangtze River, he was still the carefree little princess of the palace with a face.

However, life has changed a bit.

On that day, my mother put on the military uniform and rushed to the border, and my father also gathered his men and started to go to sea. She knew that the peaceful and peaceful days in the past were gone forever.

"Father and mother have always treated me very well, and there were not too many bad things in the palace... It's just that my mother always looks at me very strangely.

Although my elder brother, Ji Xuange, is always smiling, and will give me some small gifts from time to time... But I know that he must dislike my sister very much. "

Hualian'er chattered about some past events.

Talking about the senses of everyone in the mansion.

Speaking of her guards and generals, she was invited to drink by Ji Xuange, the eldest son of the palace that day...

He also mentioned that she saw her maidservant with a strange expression, and that Zhuang Hongyi and some men in black were quietly approaching her residence...

"This is a strategy to scare the snake away."

Chen Ping's complexion was weird, and he could see it clearly under the faint light of Huozhezi.

"Seventh brother, do you also think I shouldn't escape from the palace?"

Hualian'er was a little frustrated, sighed and lowered his head and sighed: "But I don't dare to bet... Da Niang and Niangqin are always ignorant of face and heart, and have used many methods in secret.

When I was young, I also encountered danger several times, but I never found out whether it was an accident or man-made. "

"Father is very kind to me, but he is not satisfied with what he asks, and he will take time to talk with me every once in a while...

After drinking once, he also said that if my brother was as sensible and obedient as I am, he would not have so many troubles in this life..."

"What is the background of the old lady of the Ni family?"

When Chen Ping heard this, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Even if he is a prince, he is just a county king, and he is a captive prince who has lost his military power. It is difficult for the descendants of the descendants to have any worries about seizing the heir.

It doesn't make sense either.

No matter how spoiled Hualian'er is, she is only a daughter after all.

Where is the threat to Ji Xuange, the heir of the palace?
Unless there is another reason for it.

"Auntie came from the Cui family in Hexi, and the family is very wealthy. I heard that their horse business has reached the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and even the nobles of the barbarian people look at it differently.

There are as many pearls and jades in their family as sand... By the way, the Hexi Cui family is also one of the thirteen aristocratic families, and there are many masters in the family. "

Chen Ping scratched his head a little. If it was one of the thirteen aristocratic families in his previous life, it would not be a big deal. The so-called aristocratic family had long been scattered and only had one title.

However, in ancient times, none of these families that could be called aristocratic families was not simple.

They are all local emperors with private armies.

Some people even claim that a century-old dynasty is a thousand-year-old family.

This kind of force will often place multiple bets.

When they first married King Jinghai, it must have been a move ahead of time for them.

Well, no matter what kind of plans they have.

Anyway, in terms of interests, they will never be with Jinghai Wang Youzhi.

It is very possible, and it is not necessarily true that there are various differences.

Considering that Princess Jinghai's natal family is a wealthy family that does business and has close ties with the Northern Zhou Dynasty, then, can it be considered that they don't really care about whether Nanli is overthrown or not.He also didn't care whether Hu Qi of the Northern Zhou Dynasty could capture Xingqing Mansion.

Anyway, it's two ends.

Maybe they also have their own support candidates.

It is very likely that he is the prince of Jinghai.

This may be what King Jinghai is dissatisfied with.

He didn't want to be a name and a symbol of others' authority.

One day someone came and forced the palace to give up power.

"Where's your mother?"

"Niangqin is the daughter of the previous generation head of the Qingwei Sword Sect, and is now one of the four elders, with extremely strong swordsmanship, and people in the Jianghu are called Qiuye Zhenren.

She also has many good brothers and sisters in the sect. During the Northern Zhou invasion, she gathered a group of Qingwei Sword Sect and went to Tianmen Pass to fight against the Benlangqi with Uncle Yuan and Uncle Qin. "

"Is your mother very hot-tempered?"

Chen Ping's heart skipped a beat.

From the few words of Hualian'er, a thrilling story of house fighting of a wealthy family is outlined.

It is also roughly clear that King Jinghai, the guarding prince, has so many troubles in the backyard of his house.

"How do you know? When my mother was young, people in the world called [Spicy Hand Immortal Fairy]. Not only was she skilled in swordsmanship, but she was also jealous of evil. Although her temper was a little bit violent and her hands were a little bit ruthless, she was deeply loved by the people."

Speaking of this, Hualian'er's eyes sparkled with deep admiration.

She wants to be a mother.

"Fancy face, tell me, if you died at the hands of Hu people in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and suffered humiliation in a very dishonorable way, how would your mother react?"

"I'm sure I'll raise my troops and come back, and I'll find my aunt to settle the score...

My elder brother, who usually looks dignified, is actually extremely vicious in his heart. Just what I overheard, he tortured to death no less than ten civilian women from good families...

Once something happens to me, my mother will definitely blame the Cui family for their lack of protection, and will not stop unless they take a few heads to vent their anger. "

Hualian'er said with some uncertainty.

As I spoke, I suddenly realized.

"What about your father? Will you turn against your aunt and break with the Cui family?" Chen Ping felt that his thoughts became clearer.

"Probably not."

Hualian was a little depressed.

"Although the father has a wild temper, he is very loyal to the court. It is impossible to raise a strong enemy at this time. He may persuade his mother and not want to push the Cui family to the Hu people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. , may even appease the aunt..."

"I see, Hualian'er."

Chen Ping nodded, and finally figured out what was going on.

"My name is Ji Mingyue. My mother usually calls me Xiaoyue'er. Seventh Brother, you can call me that too."

Hualian'er interrupted suddenly, talking about something irrelevant.

"Okay, Xiaoyue, you heard clearly, now your safety is actually not only related to the matter of the palace, but also related to the Xingqing mansion, and even the safety of millions of people living in the accompanying capital.

Now, we are weak and the enemy is strong, Xingqing Mansion can no longer stay any longer. "

Chen Ping's expression was slightly heavy.

"Every day that passes, the search in the city becomes stronger. I don't believe the Xingqing government at all...

Among them, it is very likely that some of them communicated with the barbarians, and even pursued them from both light and dark directions at the same time.

If we stay in the city, we will soon fall into an ambush from all sides, and it will only be a matter of time before we are captured and killed. "

"Seventh brother, where are you going, I will follow."

Hualian'er was not intimidated.

In this case, she was already psychologically prepared.

That being said, there is deep expectation in the eyes.

Chen Ping knew what the little girl was thinking at a glance.

"Your mother can't go there."

"Why?" Hualian'er was puzzled.

"Think about it, if you go to Tianmenguan, don't say if you can see your mother for the first time... Even if you do, you will definitely not be able to hide the experience of being chased all the way. With your mother's temper , what will she do?"

"Yes, she will definitely be furious, bring people back to find an explanation, and kill a few people to sacrifice the flag."

Hualian nodded yes.

"The only way is to find the father, and only he will take action, first to quell the signs of chaos in Xingqing Mansion, no one can tell what's wrong. It won't let Tianmenguan fall."

"Your mother must be very powerful." Listening to Hualian'er's words as a matter of course, Chen Ping suddenly realized, "Where does she rank in the local list?"

"Sixth, didn't I mention it? It's only three places behind Fairy Fubo. She is best at [Seven Star Steps] and [Mingyue Sword]. Tired of fighting for a long time, he retreated to cultivate himself, but Yu Wenzhao did not dare to chase after him."

Hualian said proudly.
