Inside the Plum Blossom Palace, the attendants served hot tea and snacks, and in the winter night, the snow was flying, Zhao Hui looked outside the palace, but Prince Taki watched Zhao Hui's every move.
She walked to the door, looked up at the snow, turned back to the temple, and looked up at the sword hanging on the wall.
"Tianyue Sword." Zhao Hui said, and without waiting for Prince Taki to stop him, he brought it.
Prince Taki quickly got up and said, "Don't touch it!"
Zhao Hui had already pulled it out and mocked: "It was originally a sword made by Yueren, so you shouldn't touch it?"
Prince Taki said, "It's too sharp, I'm afraid you'll get cut."
When Prince Taki touched Zhao Hui's, Zhao Hui pushed it back again, knowing that Prince Taki cared, smiled at him, and said, "I'm not that stupid."
Prince Taki was startled, then smiled.
Zhao Hui hung it up and asked, "Where's the black sword?"
"Give it to Zimiao." Prince Taki replied.
"Well, Nie Xian," Zhao Hui said, "he's getting better and better." So he nodded, returned to the case, and sat down with Prince Taki for tea.
"Why don't you like your father?" Prince Taki asked softly, as if because of this, his guilt would be lessened.
"Because he doesn't love my mother." Zhao Hui drank some tea and said casually, "The dim sum is delicious."
"It's rare that you like it." Prince Taki smiled reluctantly and replied, "My father doesn't love my mother, but even if my father and mother are not in a good relationship, they are still elders."
Zhao Hui didn't say anything, and there was a gloomy look on her face. She was very beautiful and full of graceful beauty. At that moment, Prince Taki was in a trance, as if she was also his own family. After all, in the days when he was growing up, the eclectic, unrestrained and boldness of Jue Ling and the Empress Dowager Jiang, the beauty inherited from the Yue people, has been firmly engraved in his life.
From childhood to adulthood, there have been many Yue people in the palace. When Prince Taki saw Yue people, he felt very kind.
"My father's eyes were always on marching and fighting, and you are the same as me," Prince Taki thought for a while, then said, "Your father must be busy with world affairs."
"It's not." Zhao Hui sighed again with an angry look in her eyes, without explaining much.
Prince Taki pondered for a moment, Zhao Hui suddenly raised his head, and said expectantly, "Can Tianyue Sword be given to me?"
Prince Taki: "..."
This question really put him in a dilemma. He has never been very good at rejecting people. Facing Zhao Hui's ardent expectations, he really didn't know how to answer.
"You don't even need the land you have," Zhao Hui said. "You can give Anyang to Bi Shao and give me a sword, what is it?"
"It's different," said Prince Taki, amused by her, "Anyang was originally the land of King Liang."
"Tianyue Sword is also our Yueren sword." Zhao Hui added.
Prince Taki: "..."
Prince Taki originally wanted to say that it was brought back by Jiang Heng, and it was his mother's relic, but it was meaningless to say that, because Jiang Heng gave it to Empress Dowager Jiang, and Empress Dowager Jiang gave it to him, It means that the Tianyue Sword belongs to the Ju family, and every Yueren is eligible to use it.
When Zhao Hui was about to say "boring", the Crown Prince Taki said, "Okay, since you want it, I will send it to you."
"What?" Zhao Hui said casually, how could she not understand the meaning of Bai Yuejian? Unexpectedly, Prince Taki promised to give it to her!
"I... I'm joking," Zhao Hui was a little flustered and said, "I'm just talking casually."
Prince Taki got up, took off the Tianyue Sword, got it before the case, and put it down.
"I hesitated just now because the Tianyue Sword was the sword that Henger brought home and was held by Mrs. Zhao during her lifetime," said Prince Taki, "Originally, I didn't have the qualifications, but Henger is my younger brother, there is no difference. What is mine is his, what is his is also mine, we have nothing to do with each other, he can make a decision to return the country to Bi Shao, and of course I can give you the Tianyue Sword, just hold it."
Zhao Hui said, "I... I can't accept it."
That is the magic weapon of the clan. Prince Ling's mother is Yueren and his wife is Yueren. Zhao Hui has Yueren's blood flowing in her body. .
Prince Taki saw that she really liked this sword, and it was hanging in the palace as dust, so it is better to give it to the person who loves it.
"Take it," said Prince Taki, "you have no jokes."
"Then... lend me to play for a few days." Zhao Hui knew that the symbol of the sword was too great. Although the sword of Yueren was actually owned by the emperor, she did not dare to accept it.
Prince Taki said "um". When Zhao Hui wanted to pick it up, Prince Taki held it down lightly and said, "But promise me, don't use this sword to kill people, try not to."
"Okay, I know," Zhao Hui said softly, "I promise you."
Prince Taki then let go.
During the night, Jiang Heng crossed the palace corridor and went to visit Mi Qing and Xiong Pi. In the middle of the night, the princess and the prince each lived in a hall. Jiang Heng only heard Mi Qing say lightly in the hall: "Master Jiang, please come in."
Jiang Heng instructed the waiter to come out and open the door, leaving the hall door open and adding a fire to show that the two of them were open and honest, and they visited at night without any other thoughts.
Mi Qing laughed, looked at Jiang Heng, first met with courtesy, Jiang Heng said, "Where's the prince?"
"He drank a few more glasses," Mi Qing replied, "has rested. Did Lord Jiang come to declare the victory to me?"
"Don't dare." Jiang Heng sat aside and said calmly, "To be honest, we didn't know about the raid."
Mi Qing said indifferently: "General Nie uses his troops like a god. As early as when he was in Jiangzhou, he had understood something. Although it was out of love, it was expected after all."
Jiang Heng said: "Maybe it's because we are worried that we can't negotiate at the alliance meeting, so I'll beat the country first."
Mi Qing laughed again, and Jiang Heng smiled helplessly, and said, "Is the princess going to attend the meeting tomorrow?"
"I don't know." Mi Qing said sternly, "The most important thing for me to come here this time is to figure out what the Anyang Rebellion was for? Why did the previous king collapse? Do I have an answer, Lord Jiang?"
Jiang Heng already knew that Xiong Lei's father and son were poisoned to death, and Ying Guo should find out the truth at all costs.
"What's the use of figuring it out?" Jiang Heng said.
"It's useless," Mi Qing said with a smile, "I'm just curious, can't I?"
Jiang Heng was silent for a moment, then said, "Juicong doesn't know anything about it, I can guarantee it."
"I also think," Mi Qing replied, "otherwise, the Yong Army would not have been buried with tens of thousands of people."
Jiang Heng said: "I have my own guesses about this. It's just a guess. There is no evidence. In order to satisfy His Highness's curiosity, I might as well aimlessly and speculate boldly."

Mi Qing said, "All ears are listening."
Jiang Heng was silent for a moment, and then said: "Because of hatred, Your Highness, it is hatred that is killing him."
Mi Qing did not answer, Jiang Heng said again: "General Xiang Yu, who accompanies the monarch and prince of your country, I guess it may be another person."
"That's right." Mi Qing said coldly, "Otherwise, General Xiang would not have disappeared overnight and his body would have been found in the cellar at home."
Jiang Heng said in a low voice, "Individually, Ying Jun and Dai Jun once destroyed his homeland and took away everything he cherished."
"So he's here to take revenge?" Mi Qing said, "For revenge, he attacked the Ying army, and even King Ying poisoned him."
Jiang Heng: "That's right. General Tamang of Daiguo disappeared after Li Hongshen's death, and he also came from him."
Jiang Heng has been thinking of Luo Xuan for several years. After Tingqiu's farewell, Luo Xuan never appeared in front of him with his true colors. For some reason, he thought of Zhao Qi, another Li Jin, and Xiang Yu who spent a short time together in Jiangzhou.
What exactly did he do in Anyang? The people at the scene died cleanly, and there were no witnesses.
"Is he Luo Xuan?" Mi Qing finally said, "The assassin who poisoned thousands of Ying troops to death more than ten years ago."
"Luo Xuan is my master." Jiang Heng did not answer directly, but said lightly.
"Like Gongzizhou," Mi Qing said, "also a member of Haige."
"Yeah," Jiang Heng replied, "I, Master, Young Master Zhou, we are all Haige's apprentices."
"What did Young Master Zhou say to you before he died?" Mi Qing asked again.
, Jiang Heng keenly caught a trace of sadness in Mi Qing's eyes.
"The last sentence before death..." Jiang Heng thought for a while, recalling the moment when Xiang Zhou woke up at the last moment of the avalanche, "He said, 'Don't be afraid, I'm here'."
Mi Qing fell into a long silence, Jiang Heng drank some tea and looked into her eyes.
"When we went to Luoyang," Mi Qing said, "he came back to Jiangzhou, we drank a cup of tea and learned that he had just executed your mother's ashes."
Jiang Heng unexpectedly learned too many past events in this snowy night.
"Where is my mother... buried?" Jiang Heng said.
Mi Qing whispered: "Sprinkled into Mirror Lake."
Jiang Heng nodded, is her best home.
"That year, Young Master Zhou came back," Mi Qing said, "only saw me once and asked me if there was any hope that the battle of the siege would end. After learning that it was impossible, he told me that he was going to If Luoyang saves a person, it must be you."
"It's me." Jiang Heng replied.
"That's how he is," Mi Qing said in a low voice, "if you promise someone, you will definitely do it."
Jiang Heng was silent, and Mi Qing suddenly said again: "Jiang Heng, I have another sister, do you know who it is?"
"General Mi Xia Mi?" Jiang Heng asked.
Mi Qing nodded and said, "My sister, died at the hands of your mother."
Jiang Heng said: "That's why Prince An wanted to kill me and avenge your sister. I think the hatred between us will never be resolved."
Mi Qing didn't answer, just looked at Jiang Heng with pity.
"But," Jiang Heng said, "in the world of great strife, you killed me, I killed you, and in the end everyone died, and we ended up in a clean place. Is that what we want?"
Mi Qing finally said: "The more people you are, the more people you use to speak with swords."
"There are no more Yue people in the world," Jiang Heng replied, "Your Highness Princess, you should understand why."
"I understand." Mi Qing said.
Jiang Heng was about to get up to leave, when he walked to the door, Mi Qing suddenly said, "Mr. Jiang, I'm curious about another matter."
"What?" Jiang Heng looked back.
"If I want your life," Mi Qing said, "to avenge my sister and the royal family, at the cost of my approval of the League, will you agree?"
"No." Jiang Heng replied without thinking, "Because even if I die, you will not let it go."
Mi Qing laughed and said, "Just kidding, Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Heng had already made up his mind, and the last troubles of the year were over.
He passed the garden and was about to return to the dormitory when he saw two figures walking slowly outside the plum garden. They seemed to be a man and a woman, talking as they walked.
"Zhao Hui!" Jiang Heng recognized the girl and couldn't help but said, "What's in there?"
Prince Taki didn't expect to meet Jiang Heng at this time, and raised his eyebrows to ask him, Jiang Heng nodded, indicating that it was temporarily resolved.
Zhao Hui was a little afraid of Jiang Heng, but in fact there was no one in Zheng who was not afraid of him. When Jiang Heng was in Jeju, Zhao Hui and Zhao Cong, two brothers and sisters, briefly studied with Jiang Heng for a while. disobedient.
Zhao Hui hurriedly hid behind Prince Taki and made a face. Prince Taki looked at her sideways, thinking it was very interesting, and winked at Jiang Heng again.
"The Son of Heaven lent me to play." Zhao Hui said.
"You're so bold," Jiang Heng said with a smile in his eyes, "Is the Tianyue Sword just for you to play with?"
Prince Taki hesitated, seeing Jiang Heng's expression of no reproach, and said, "She likes it very much, so I will send her off."
Jiang Heng didn't make decisions on Prince Taki, and it was a bit unpleasant to hand over his mother's relics to others. If it was inherited from the world, its significance would be far greater than hanging in the palace as a symbol.
He just smiled and said, "If you hold Tianyue, you must have the strength to match it. Do you think you have the ability? How much have you learned? What are some tricks for you to see first?"
Zhao Hui heard what Jiang Heng meant, so she drew her sword and said, "Okay, just look at it."
Then, Zhao Hui walked into the plum garden and danced a set of swordsmanship in the snow. Wherever the Tianyue Sword went, plum blossoms flew and the snow flakes shattered. Zhao Hui, like a fairy, finally held the sword and turned around and smiled.
Jiang Heng caught a glimpse of Prince Taki out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly found something.
Prince Taki's eyes always fell on Zhao Hui, and his eyes were full of admiration.
"Gorgeous." Jiang Heng laughed and laughed, but thinking of Luo Xuan, who had also said something before, filled his heart with unbearable sadness.
Zhao Hui was originally smiling, but when Jiang Heng taunted her, her face was drawn.
Prince Taki took a few pictures and praised: "Very good!"
Zhao Hui: "Do you know how good it is?"
Prince Taki: "Although I don't know much about martial arts, I have seen a lot. Your kung fu is good."
Jiang Heng forced a smile and said the exact same words as Prince Taki: "Don't kill people with a sword, try not to."
"Yes!" When Zhao Hui heard the words, she knew that Jiang Heng had no objection, and immediately became happy.
Prince Taki wanted to say something, but Zhao Hui ran away.
Jiang Heng and Prince Taki exchanged glances, Prince Taki hesitated, but Jiang Heng said: "This is the best home for Tianyue, and I will rectify my mother's name in the future. She is not inferior to the five major assassins, and there should be six major assassins in the world. It is."
"As it should, she asked me," said Prince Taki, "'Are you from Yue?' I don't know why, but I felt very kind, as if she recognized me."
"Of course you are," Jiang Heng said. "Grandma Wang is from Yue, and you are from Yue."
"I'm also from Feng Rong." Prince Taki thought for a while and replied, "But I don't look like that."
"What's the difference? Fengrong people have both Di people's blood and Linhu people's blood. Besides, you are from Zheng and Liang." Jiang Heng and Crown Prince Taki slowly Walking back to the dormitory, "One hundred and two years ago, the Yong people were from the Central Plains. Our ancestors have been from generation to generation, and there are also people from Liang, Zheng, and Ying. Hundreds of rivers enter the sea, and return to the same way..."
In the flying snow, that sentence went away with Prince Taki and Jiang Heng.
"You are a goddess."
