Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 540 Xiao Huai

Xiao Huai sometimes feels that life has no end in sight.

Sometimes, he also doesn't know why he lives.

He has a prominent family background, but he prefers to roam the streets and rivers and lakes like a prodigal son.

As the son of King Yan with power over the world, he doesn't seem to need a personal will. He is the heir cultivated under the cold system of King Yan, and the deputy governor of the 40 soldiers of the five armies.

If he had to say yes, then his only will was to live like a man and to protect the land that had gone through many years of fighting from being destroyed.

It seems that this kind of ambition should not appear on a rich and powerful child like him.

But he didn't personally experience that war, but he saw his mother's death with his own eyes.

If there were no tri-ethnic conflicts and no racial discrimination, then his mother would not need to sacrifice her life for the establishment of the new court.

He has killed countless people, but he also hates the oppression and killing in the name of clearing racial blood from the bottom of his heart.

So sometimes, he feels that his glory is also stained with his mother's blood, which occasionally makes him feel ashamed and ashamed.

Therefore, he prefers to stay far away from the Yamen of the Fifth Army Camp and the palace.

For example, the other courtyard hidden in the depths of Lu'er Hutong, or the small attic in Qionghua Terrace.

He likes to hide.

Sometimes, he even has a strange idea, thinking of himself as a prodigal son, a businessman, or a cynical dude.

These pretended identities can to a certain extent make him numb the depression brought about by his status as the son of King Yan, as well as the deep pain brought about by the death of his mother and the Wei family.

He knew he was running away.

But escaping can make him feel at ease, and he can't seem to find a reason not to do so.

He lived in another courtyard for a long time, forcing himself to forget that there was a father who ruled the world.

People in the world say that he is difficult to approach, but they don't know that he just hides his true self under the illusion.

He secretly looked at the world in silence, looking at those people with various purposes.

Relying on his status as the son of Prince Yan, he has seen too many people who are on the verge of extinction, but he has never seen anyone like her.

He sat on the swing at the door, closed his eyes and listened to the chirping of insects and birds.

He had heard the footsteps coming from the entrance of the alley a long time ago. They were short and hurried, and the force was not heavy. It must be a woman.

He didn't open his eyes until the footsteps stopped in front of him.

He was a little surprised.

This is a young girl who is full of vigilance from top to bottom, her eyes are big and bright, with a bit of sharpness and danger.

She was running out of breath, and she obviously didn't know martial arts, but her demeanor made it impossible to associate her with an ignorant village woman.

Of course, what surprised him even more was that she was actually from Helian.

There was blood on her hands, but she didn't know it.

He began to understand why she fled in such a panic.

She was from Helian, and if she was unlucky, she would end up worse than his mother.

She obviously didn't know who he was, so he didn't mind showing kindness either.

He applied medicine to her so that she wouldn't have to go to another doctor.

But she actually wanted to kill him...

Interesting.

However, if he were in her situation, he would definitely have such thoughts.

For a helpless person, no one's life is more important than his own.

He is not a saint, and sometimes he can even be called cruel.

So, if she does, he doesn't mind killing her.

But he didn't expect that she would take back the hairpin again!
His interest in her shifted from her boldness to the reason why she changed her mind in an instant.

If it wasn't her bravado, she must have been acutely aware of something.

Is she such a smart girl?
He picked up the hairpin and picked it up by accident.

I thought I would never meet again, but it often backfired.

In the town in the southern suburbs, she chased him strangely, and then retreated strangely.

He began to think, what is she doing with this dangerous bloodline?
Back in the mansion, he remembered the hairpin and carried it on his body somehow.

She didn't come here for his identity, but she had other purposes, which made him feel novel.

Of course, speaking like this, he seems a little arrogant, and perhaps a bit shamefully narcissistic.

But it is true that her ignorance of him made him have an impression of her instead.

On the execution ground, he heard that the military prisoner was still committing murder, so he killed him without hesitation.

She who had been frightened in the crowd was pale, but she was as calm as if she was used to life and death scenes.

The glance she cast over made him slightly moved, but he still had to maintain the majesty of the prince, his eyes swept over her lightly, and then walked to the supervision platform.

She also seemed to be quite concerned about He Lan, and she cast her eyes on him several times.

Does she like him like that?

Even though he didn't want to admit it, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

He Lan took her to the yamen, and he, who didn't stay in the yamen much all the year round, followed her.

He couldn't sit still in the office, remembering her panic when she first met him in the small alley, he rushed over.

He didn't know what prompted him to do this. After thinking about it, he thought it should be out of pity for her.

He wantonly frightened He Lanzhun, and arrogantly called her his woman.

He was excited to play a prank in his heart, as if he was not threatening He Lan, but bullying her.

He is 21, and he is no longer a brat who doesn't know the importance of things.

But he still likes to scare her coldly. He returned the hairpin to her, and he was very proud to see her put away her paws in front of him and be honest when she had the guts to kill him.

After King Yan left, he continued to scare her under the curtain, and it was obvious that she shrank into a ball because of her courage.

——Of course, he wasn't all bluffing, those warning words were somewhat true.

The discord between him and Prince Yan's father and son must not be leaked, it is related to the life and death of Prince Yan's mansion and so many soldiers under his command, if she is really not strict, he will not show mercy.

But it turns out that she is not only smart, but also very knowledgeable about current affairs.

He is satisfied.

And she was so beautiful, especially those eyes, he had never seen such impressive eyes.

But let's not stop there!Her parentage was a big problem, and he didn't want to have too much to do with her.

What made his faith start to shake was in the other courtyard, when she was obviously trying to curry favor with him.

She was like a little fox, she clearly wanted to gain some benefits from him, but she flattered her so perfunctorily.

He purposely boiled mutton in front of her.It is said that the nobles of Helian are very particular. He ate the house full of smells, but it depends on whether she, who is hungry, can hold back in the smell of the smell in the room.

Turns out she didn't.

Not only did she not lose her composure, but she also understood his military map and the road he was going to take to reach Datong.
