Xia Chu had just returned Xiao Mubai's chopsticks and bit the piece of bamboo shoot he had picked up. When he suddenly asked him this question, his face was startled. He held the piece of bamboo shoot in his mouth and forgot to chew it.
Xiao Mubai smiled slyly and wiped the oil stains on her lips with a handkerchief.
Only then did Xia Chu realize what he was doing. He chewed the bamboo shoots in his mouth and glanced at him. This man was really someone who, without even asking in the past, had a clear conscience in his heart. At the critical moment, he would use it to defeat you.
Xiao Mubai glanced at her, raised his eyebrows, and teased her: "What kind of expression do you have? If you want to know, I'll tell you."
Because Xia Chu was picking at the dishes he had put in the bowl, his speech was a little slurred: "If it's inconvenient, it goes without saying. I was also mentioned by Xian Li today and I was curious. There were too many people at noon, so It’s hard to ask her.”
Xiao Mubai served her porridge and said, "Since she has taken the initiative to mention it to you, there is no inconvenience."
Xia Chu frowned and looked at the bowl of white porridge in front of her, unable to take a bite. She really didn't want to eat such a bland thing.
"I'll tell you after you eat it." Xiao Mubai nodded next to the bowl.
Xia Chu pursed her lips, for the sake of Bingwen's happiness, and to find out what Xian Li's heart was...
Come and eat this bowl of white porridge!
Xia Chu picked up the bowl and drank it all in one go. Finally, he turned the bowl over and raised his chin towards Xiao Mubai.
Xiao Mubai was amused by her triumphant expression. It was just like drinking a bowl of porridge, which made her look like a brave man who had his wrist broken off in a generous sacrifice.
At the end, he put on such a proud expression.
He took the empty bowl from Xia Chu's hand, shook his head helplessly, and said to her: "Xianli's life experience is almost the same as Bingwen's. She was originally the daughter of an official, because her father did not follow others' footsteps. He was brutally framed, the murderer was an official and a businessman, and the evidence was conclusive. The King of Liang had no choice but to sentence everyone to death. In order to preserve his reputation, he ordered his children to be sent into the army, and the men became soldiers and the women became soldiers. prostitute."
Xiao Mubai sighed when he said this, and Xia Chu felt uneasy after hearing this. Although the two people's life experiences were almost the same, Xianli's situation was far more miserable than Bingwen's: "How did she survive these years? Coming down…”
Xiao Mubai put his hand on hers: "Same as Bingwen, for revenge."
"When did you save her from the sea of suffering?" Xia Chu thought of the first time she met Xian Li, but she didn't know how many twists and turns she had gone through behind her back.
"When I was fourteen years old, I invited troops to go out and captured her during the battle with Liang Jun. At that time, she was kneeling among a group of prisoners. I glanced at her and felt that there was something special about her. Others were groveling and fearful, but her eyes There was a stubbornness in her. Although she was covered in filth, she still straightened her back and looked at me. On a whim, I took her out alone. She was only thirteen years old at that time, but she had already stayed in Liang Jun's military camp for four years. "More." I asked her if she had anything to say. She bowed in a very dignified and decent manner. It could be seen that she had a good tutor since she was a child. When she opened her mouth, I became more interested. She said..." Xiao Mubai paused. After a pause, he remembered the original scene: "She said she could help me defeat Liang Jun."
A cardamom girl, in the enemy camp, neither humble nor arrogant, calm and composed.
"So your victory in that battle was because of Xian Li?" Xia Chu looked surprised.
Xiao Mubai shook his head: "How could I trust a Liangguo woman after hearing a few words from her? At that time, I just thought she was different and special, so I detained her alone."
"Then..." Xia Chu frowned. Xiao Mubai's character was indeed not so simple as to just listen to someone's words, so she looked confused, wondering why he had changed his mind.
"Later, King Liang secretly came to Qixicheng to meet with me, and I took her into my care after I returned.
I allowed her to avenge her.
She answers me and does things for me.
Later, I took her to Tianlu City and placed her in Tinglan Water Tower to collect information for me.
Because she had a good foundation in dancing since she was a child, she created her own Chongxiu with a little training and became famous in one fell swoop. She established a firm foothold in Tinglan Water Tower. While doing things for me, she inquired about her brother's news, and often took in rescued soldiers. Prostitutes, let them have a place to stay. "Xiao Mubai was, on the one hand, entrusted by King Liang to take care of her. On the other hand, he also wanted to place someone of his own in Tinglan Water Tower.
After all, the Tinglan Water Tower at that time was given to him by King Liang, and in his heart, it was not completely his own.
He did not expect that Xian Li would become famous in one fell swoop. It was an unexpected gain.
Xia Chu's chest felt suffocating. This poor girl...
Revenge is so difficult. She is an eight or nine-year-old child, the daughter of a clan who should have been pampered and pampered, but she was reduced to a military prostitute by the decree of the King of Liang!
She was obviously still as young as a flower, but she was pulled off the branches and her blossoms were stopped. She was filled with hatred but could still have kind thoughts, which made Xia Chu feel more and more valuable.
What a wonderful woman, but...
She didn't know what Bingwen would think if he knew the truth. Xia Chu's heart was filled with distress and helplessness.
"Has her great revenge been avenged now? Has brother been found?" Xia Chu asked with urgency.
"No, the time has not yet come for her to take revenge. Strangely enough, I followed the Liang army camp where his brother was originally assigned to look for him, but this man seemed to have disappeared from the world. Both King Liang and I guessed that he might have been sent to the army. Someone was harmed on the way, and Xianli knew it in her heart, but we didn't say it out loud, so she continued to search with a glimmer of extravagant hope." Xiao Mubai frowned and sighed slightly.
Xia Chu's face was full of sighs. She knew that revenge could not be rushed. Since Xiao Mubai said that the time had not come yet, he had his reasons, and she could not rush him.
As for Xianli's brother, Xiao Mubai's tone sounded like he was in danger. He recalled that he had given her what he thought was some advice in the afternoon, but he had no idea that Xianli's seemingly glamorous person was burdened with so much behind him. many…
Xia Chu didn't know what to say when he saw Xian Li's cold and beautiful face again in the future.
As for her and Bingwen, what could Xia Chu say besides sighing...
"Look at your expression of bitterness and hatred, the real master is more open-minded than you." Xiao Mubai saw that her face was wrinkled together, and stretched out his hand to straighten the wrinkles between her brows.
"How can I help?" Xia Chu raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Mubai.
"What? Is Princess Suran going to take action?" Xiao Mubai teased, rubbed her head and comforted her warmly: "I have my own arrangements for Xianli's affairs, so don't worry about it."
When Xia Chu heard him tell Su Ran's title, she looked embarrassed and had to give up. After all, this was a matter within the Liang Kingdom, and she was powerless to do so.
Xiao Mubai stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms: "I will take care of everything. In these half a month, all you have to do is stay in the palace and watch me take medicine."
Xia Chu leaned in his arms. At this moment, she felt more and more that such happiness was hard-won. She put her hands around his waist, rubbed her head into his arms, and softly responded: "Okay."
