Rong Xia didn't expect Banhua to ask this question suddenly. He looked at Banhua and suddenly fell silent.

He didn't want to involve Banhua in this matter, and even deliberately hid it from her and found a way out for her. If it fails, he will let Banhua "exterminate her relatives for justice". Plus, since Huahua is part of the Jiang family, she can still live well.

So he deliberately avoided the power and connections of the Ban family and prevented the Ban family from getting involved in his personal affairs. He did things very covertly, not even revealing any ambition. He didn't understand why Huahua guessed this, or maybe it was not what she wanted to ask about, or he was overthinking it, and what Huahua was asking was not... What he wanted?

The room fell silent.

Ban Hua took two exquisite teacups, poured a cup into Rong Xia's hand, and said with a smile: "Think slowly, I'm not in a hurry."

"Huahua, what do you want to know?" Rong Xia took the heavy cup of tea with a wry smile and drank most of it.

"You can say whatever you want. Just think about what you hid from me." Banhua raised her eyebrows at him with a half-smile, "You don't have to go to court now, and I have nothing to do. You can Speak slowly and I can listen slowly."

Rong Xia smiled bitterly and wanted to put down the teacup, but was stopped by Banhua: "Don't put down the teacup. I'm afraid you'll get thirsty if you talk too much later."

Hearing this, Rong Xia put the teacup back again: "Okay, you listen slowly and I will speak slowly."

"When I was young, I didn't please my mother because after I was born, my mother began to gain weight. She tried many methods, but she couldn't return to her previous appearance." Rong Xia spoke calmly, saying this to her mother. There was no response to this resentment, "But fortunately, I have a pleasant appearance since I was a child, and my mother gradually treated me a lot better, but she was a little stricter on me, and she felt that I was not as good as my eldest brother."

"What a nonsense statement. It is not your choice whether you want to be born or not. Even if she is pretentious and wants to blame, she should blame herself or your father. Why should she blame you who don't know anything?" Banhua just heard the beginning and exploded, "Are you still being reasonable?!"

After scolding him, Banhua remembered that this was his dead mother-in-law. Her behavior seemed very unfilial?

But Rong Xia was not angry. Seeing Banhua's cheeks flushed with anger, he actually smiled a little: "Don't be angry, it's been so many years."

Banhua, who grew up being doted on by her grandparents and parents, couldn't imagine the kind of atmosphere Rong Xia lived in when she was a child. She took a deep breath and finally suppressed the urge to curse.

"Later on, my father's career was a little unsatisfactory, and he didn't spend as much time with my mother at home as before. My mother suspected that my father had raised an illegitimate wife, so she often told me how much she had sacrificed because of my background," Rong Xia There was a sarcastic smile on his face, "She died later, and it was rumored that she died of illness."

"Pass?"

"Yes, they are all rumors," Rong Xia lowered her eyelids and said in a cold tone, "She died of poisoning. I was young at that time and didn't know what kind of poison she was poisoned. It wasn't until last year that I found out that she died of poisoning. The acacia beans were poisoned because they were the acacia beans given to her by her father."

Banhua felt a little chilled. Did Rong Xia's mother die of suicide or murder?

Who killed her?

The woman who is jealous of her or... Rong Xia's father?

The family atmosphere in the Ban family is very harmonious. Although Banhua has never experienced any kind of fighting in the house, she has heard from some of the little sisters around her that the main wife humiliates the concubine, and the concubine turns a deaf ear to the man and deliberately provokes the main wife. , all kinds of grievances and hatreds are accumulated together, and you can write a prosperous story.

Listening to Rong Xia's words now, her first thought was to those family secrets she had heard before.

Seeing her weird expression, Rong Xia knew that she was thinking wrong, and continued: "My father and my mother have a very good relationship. My father has no concubines, not even a common roommate. After my mother passed away, my father wrote all day long The poem was written in memory of my mother. Knowing the day he died of illness, he repeatedly emphasized that he wanted to be buried with my mother."

At the same time of life and death, the same acupuncture point should be used.

It was obviously a very touching love story, but Banhua was not very touched after hearing it. Maybe people's hearts are biased. She was more concerned about Rong Xia's life after losing her parents, rather than the love of his parents.

"However, in fact, my father did not die in a normal way. Like his mother, he died of acacia poisoning." Rong Xia took a sip of the cool tea, "But I think he probably didn't want to live, even if he was not poisoned. , and it won’t last for many years.”

"Then the eldest brother also fell ill. He lost weight day by day. Before his death, he did not wait for the imperial edict to inherit the title. The eldest sister-in-law returned to her parents' home during the period of mourning and accidentally gave birth to a miscarriage," Rong Xia looked at her. Falling on the vase in the corner, "In the end, I am the only one left in the huge Rong family."

"Now that I have you again," Rong Xia's lips raised, "this place has become a home again, instead of a gorgeous but empty mansion."

"I..." Banhua turned around and said, "It's better not to say anything."

She felt uncomfortable just listening to it, not to mention the flaw in her appearance after experiencing these things.

"I have always kept these things in my heart, no one can tell me," Rong Xia held her hand, "Huahua, just sit with me for a while, okay?"

Banhua pursed her lips and nodded.

Rong Xia chuckled softly: "You don't have to be sad. These experiences may not be too lucky, but at least I was lucky enough to meet you."

"It's time now, so don't forget to be obedient."

"I don't say nice things, I only tell the truth."

"You didn't say anything else. If you don't tell me, I'll go to bed."

Rong Xia took the person into her arms, "I will continue to say, don't leave."

"After my eldest brother died of illness, I found out that among the medicines he took on a daily basis, there were several medicines that were very harmful to the body. They seemed to help people feel refreshed, but in fact they were medicines that could not be used easily," Rong Xia smiled bitterly. "I was only over ten years old at that time. Even if I found something suspicious, I didn't dare to tell anyone because I didn't know who I could trust."

"I found more and more things, and finally I found out where the mastermind behind the scenes came from," Rong Xia said with a sarcastic smile, "It's Your Majesty."

He looked down at Banhua, thinking that she would be shocked or defend Emperor Yun Qing. What he didn't expect was that she just listened quietly and had no intention of defending Emperor Yun Qing.

"Your Majesty has shown me favors repeatedly and made me the leader of the secret agents." Rong Xia's beautiful starry eyes were full of mockery, "The whole Daye Dynasty praises me as a gentleman, but they don't know that I am doing the things that secret agents do. ”

Most people will be shocked when hearing such shocking news.

Ban Hua was indeed shocked, but she was shocked by another thing: "Your swordsmanship is just for fun. If you use it to bluff people, can you be the leader of the secret agents?"

"The leader of the secret agents is not the leader of the assassins, so why does he have to be good at kung fu?" Rong Xia shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Can't it be because I have a better brain?"

"That's possible," Banhua suddenly nodded, "Your brain is indeed better than mine, so keep talking, I'm listening."

"The more I work as a spy, the more I feel that the entire Daye Dynasty is like an empty frame filled with holes filled with moths, and it is hopeless." Rong Xia shook his head and smiled, "At that time, I thought, if I support someone who has the courage to do it, Even the prince of an emperor."

Banhua thought of Emperor Yunqing's sons and said in a complicated tone: "Then have you found them?"

Rong Xia: "I thought you wouldn't ask me this question."

Banhua:......

"Huahua, I am not a gentleman, I am an ambitious man," Rong Xia said, "The places where you and Brother Heng buried treasures twice have something to do with me."

Banhua swallowed: "Did you bury something there too?"

Rong Xia laughed when he heard this: "Yes, some iron tools were buried."

"Isn't the description of ironware a bit euphemistic?" Banhua thought carefully about it. She didn't think there was anything weird about her chance encounter with Rong Xia before. But now after Rong Xia made it clear, she felt that something was wrong everywhere.

It was early in the morning, and it was getting dark. Who would run to the wild mountains at this time?

Thinking of this, she felt a chill on the back of her neck. Rong Xia didn't kill her to silence her. This was so conscientious, "You didn't kill to silence her. Brother Heng and I are so lucky."

"If it were anyone else, I might have to choose this result, but you are different."

"Because I'm so beautiful?"

Rong Xia nodded silently.

The moment she turned back did surprise him, but that was not what really made him keep their lives. But he was sure that the two siblings didn't discover his secret, and they didn't have the brains to discover it.

I won’t tell Huahua this idea because he is worried that he will sleep in the study tonight.

"Have discernment." Banhua patted Rong Xia on the shoulder and continued.

"Huahua," Rong Xia looked at Banhua, "I don't want to implicate you, nor the Ban family. If I fail, just pretend you don't know about it. I have already arranged the rest, and you will definitely not It will make you suffer."

"What's wrong with me?" Banhua said angrily, "You are now my man. If I say what you did has nothing to do with me, will others believe it?"

"If the prince ascends the throne, he will definitely believe it."

"The prince has a cowardly character, how can he be the king of a country," Banhua said angrily, "What's more, now you don't even know whether the prince is dead or alive, you are thinking very far."

"You don't blame me?" Rong Xia felt that Huahua gave him new feelings every day, "What I want is this world."

"Isn't that great? If you become the emperor, I will be the queen," Banhua said calmly, "Just do whatever you want, I won't stop you."

"Where is your Majesty..."

"I'm not a fool," Banhua looked a little disappointed, "Although my grandmother never told me about the things that happened in our Ban family and some old grudges in the past, I had some guesses in my heart, but I never I can’t believe it.”

Emperor Yun Qing could even poison his own childhood reading companion, so what would happen if he harmed her grandfather so much?

"On the day my grandmother had an accident, I went to visit the Grand Princess's mansion, and she gave me something as a gift."

"Grandma gave you something, what was it?"

"Three Armies Tiger Talisman."

"What did you say?!" Banhua looked at Rong Xia in horror, "Didn't the Tiger Talisman be lost a long time ago, but His Majesty didn't publicize it to the outside world?"

So it turns out that such an important thing has always been in grandma's hands? Why did grandma give things to Rong Xia? If she knew Rong Xia's thoughts and gave the tiger charm to Rong Xia, did it mean that she had resentment towards the Jiang Dynasty?

Ban Hua had very complicated feelings towards Emperor Yun Qing. She was grateful to him for taking care of her, but she also hated him for being so cold-blooded and ruthless, crossing rivers and destroying bridges to murder his grandfather. Her grandfather had treated her very well since she was little, and every memory related to her was a happy one.

She couldn't kill Emperor Yunqing with her own hands, but she couldn't just pretend that the pain her grandfather had suffered didn't exist.

"Rong Xia," Banhua looked at Rong Xia steadily, "you will succeed."

The Jiang family dynasty will eventually usher in a change of dynasty.

The greatest prosperity must inevitably decline, and the change of dynasties has long been doomed.

Rong Xia thought that his confession would usher in a storm, but he didn't expect that what greeted him was only gentle breeze and drizzle. This huge gap made him realize what "happiness comes too suddenly."

"Um..." Banhua looked at Rong Xia sheepishly, "Can you show me what the tiger talisman looks like? I'm quite curious."

The tiger talisman is made of gold and has a majestic posture, but it looks a little cute. Banhua looked over it several times, "The tiger talisman sounds very powerful, but in fact it is not very useful. When dispatching troops and generals, the general must be willing to listen to you. Sometimes this tiger talisman is very useful, sometimes it is a mascot." , the most difficult thing to control is the human heart."

"I know that a tiger talisman alone cannot mobilize troops and condemn generals." Rong Xia saw Banhua throwing the tiger talisman around like a gadget, "but at some times, it is also useful."

"Don't tell me this kind of thing that requires some thinking," Banhua returned the tiger talisman to Rong Xia, "If you're hungry, you'd better go eat."

She stood up, suddenly squinted her eyes and asked, "Is there anything else you are hiding from me?"

Rong Xia thought seriously for a long time and shook his head firmly, "No.".

"Be good." Banhua patted his head, "I wish I had been like this."

After King Ning ascended the throne, he named the country "Fengning", which originally meant a good harvest and tranquility. However, the days of the Daye Dynasty were not peaceful. Civil unrest broke out all over the country, and the officials in the court changed one after another. King Ning listened to the villain's slander and lost his temper at every turn, without giving the courtiers any face.

Any official who had a relationship with the prince did not end well in the end. Not only that, maids in the palace were often tortured to death. Soon the cruel behavior of Emperor Fengning spread throughout the Daye Dynasty. Rumors about Emperor Fengning's improper access to the throne and his father and brother being placed under house arrest are rampant. Even people in relatively remote prefectures and counties can vividly tell how Emperor Fengning forced the palace to usurp the throne, how he indulged in meat and vegetables, and committed violence in the palace. OK.

Popular sentiment is a very strange thing. Most people are resigned to the situation and do not dare to have the slightest hint of rebellion. But when the superior does something that crosses their bottom line, they will resist crazily, even if they risk their lives, they will overthrow the superior who disgusts them.

While Emperor Fengning was furious because of the mob, the people of Xuezhou rebelled. And it was not the people who rebelled, but the local officials and the people who rebelled together.

Everyone then remembered that the Zhao family had long been demoted to other prefectures and counties by Emperor Fengning. The governor of Xuezhou was the legitimate son of the main lineage of the Zhao family. No wonder they rebelled out of tolerance.

Xuezhou carried the banner of the Qing Dynasty, and Dongzhou, Xizhou and other major counties responded one after another. The imperial army retreated steadily. Jiang Luo, who had been absurd all day long, could no longer sit still and sent several cronies there. , were all defeated by the rebels, and in the end, less than half of Daye's territory fell into the hands of the rebels.

The courtiers were helpless, and Jiang Luo complained repeatedly. Only then did he regret that he had demoted the only few officials in the court who could fight to the border, and now there was no one available.

"Your Majesty," said the little **** who had been serving Jiang Luo, "this slave actually has a good candidate to recommend, but I am just afraid that His Majesty will be dissatisfied when he hears this person's name."

"Who?" Jiang Luo was already in a hurry to seek medical treatment. When he heard the little **** beside him coming up with an idea, he quickly asked, "These useless things usually make a lot of noise, but at a critical moment, a There is nothing useful."

"Cheng'an Hou Rong Junpo."

"He?" Jiang Luo frowned, "He is a scholar, can he go to the battlefield?"

"Although he is not good at it, his wife was born in a family of military generals," the **** said. "Rong Xia has always been favored by your majesty, your grandfather's family, and is the Marquis of the Daye Dynasty. At this critical moment, even if he doesn't want to If you stand up, you have to shed your blood for the great cause."

"To put it bluntly, if he accidentally dies on the battlefield, it will also solve a major problem in your heart. This is a win-win situation."

"What you said makes sense," Jiang Luo suddenly realized. He had wanted to die as Marquis of An, but he had never been able to catch him. Now that he died on the battlefield, sacrificing his life for the country, who else could say anything?

"You are right, come and prepare the decree."

"By the way, Rong Xia and Ban Hua led their troops out of the city. The place where the Ban family lives was heavily guarded and they were not allowed to leave the city."

"Yes."

Before this decree was issued, Rong Xia had already asked people to move the Ban family out of the capital. The "Ban family" who stayed in the city did not go out much, so no one suspected their identity. When the people from the infantry yamen guarded the courtyard where the Ban family lived, "Ban Huai" and "Ban Heng" opened half the door and yelled and cursed for a long time, which made people see the ignorant and bad temper of the Ban family.

While the "Ban family" was under control, Emperor Fengning's imperial edict was sent to the Cheng'an Hou Mansion.

As expected by Emperor Fengning, after hearing that the Ban family was well protected, the faces of Marquis Cheng'an and his wife changed. Finally, they honestly carried out the decree and brought their personal entourage with only 50,000 people early the next morning. But the expeditionary force, known as "two hundred thousand", left the city.

Emperor Fengning hated Rong Xia, so when Rong Xia left the city, he didn't even show off to Rong Xia, but just sent an inconspicuous official to see Rong Xia off and got over it.

His move chilled more courtiers, including some officials who originally followed him.

After leaving the capital, the expeditionary army headed south without any delay.

On the way, some soldiers disturbed the people and even damaged crops. Rong Xia ordered the soldiers to be punished, but they were still unconvinced. In the end, they found that they were no match for Rong Xia in archery and couldn't beat a Banhua girl in marksmanship. They all eventually became honest. .

"General, the front is where the rebels are," the pioneer officer drove his horse to Rong Xia, "General, please give me your instructions."

"Everyone, you have worked hard along the way. Let's set up camp first and recharge our batteries."

"Yes."

The pioneer officer was overjoyed. They were indeed tired from the journey. If they went to call the camp now, how could they be the opponents of the rebels? It's just that he has limited food and grass now, so he can't delay it too long. When the time comes, he will be defeated when the food and grass are not available.

After setting up camp, Rong Xia and Ban Hua lived in the same tent. The other soldiers were already used to it, so they didn't think it was strange. Along the way, they had already been impressed by Princess Fule's abilities. Although she was a woman, she was incomparable to many men.

It's a pity that he is not a man, otherwise the Ban family would be considered to have a successor.

But then they thought that Ban's family was being held hostage in the capital by His Majesty, and the soldiers felt a little chilled. It was the emperor who was unkind and caused chaos in the world, but in the end he forced a woman to go to the battlefield and threatened her family. , this is done so that even rough guys like them can't stand it.

I feel sorry for Marquis Chengan and Princess Fule. They were newlyweds, but they encountered such troublesome things.

"Looking at the general's attitude, it seems he doesn't want to face the rebels head-on." A veteran general shook his head. Even if he had thousands of things on his mind, he couldn't speak at this time.

"Who wants to confront the rebels," a young silver-armored general said angrily, "We are soldiers to guard the country's borders and resist foreign enemies, not to use weapons against our own people and innocent people. People."

The other generals did not speak, and their hearts were equally heavy, because everyone knew that these rebels were forced to have no choice but to rebel, but these generals knew that they were not wrong, but they wanted to fight with them. Who can be happy to meet each other?

"You **** bitch, I might as well do the opposite!" General Shinjia scolded, "I feel aggrieved to work for such a fatuous emperor."

The young general in silver armor comes from a family of military generals. Although not as prominent as the Ban family, it has been passed down for several generations. He has just been in the army for a few years. Unexpectedly, the first time he went to the battlefield was not to kill foreign enemies, but to kill himself. Man, this made him very frustrated.

"Don't talk nonsense!" said the veteran, "If others hear it, will you die?"

"Click!" Someone stepped on a dead branch.

Several generals turned around and saw Princess Fule standing not far away wearing golden soft armor.

"The last general has seen the princess." The expressions of the generals changed greatly, and they all stood up to salute her.

Ban Hua is accompanying the army this time, and is also known as the "Right General". This shows that His Majesty is determined to drag the Ban family into trouble.

Some courtiers stood up to oppose Banhua going to the battlefield, saying that there was no precedent for a woman to be a general in Daye, but Emperor Fengning refuted it on the grounds that there were women as generals in history.

Women in history have done it, why can’t Princess Fule do it? Does it mean that she has no responsibility for Daye Dynasty and no focus on Daye Dynasty? As the princess of the imperial court, you don’t even have this awareness?

The meaning of this is that if Banhua is unwilling to go to the battlefield, he has no loyalty to Daye Dynasty and his heart is worthy of death.

Everyone knew that Emperor Fengning was sophistry, but no one dared to stand up and speak for Princess Fule.

Because people with backbones can no longer stand in this court. What is left are some scraps or cartilage.

It doesn't matter whether it's in compliance with the rules or not. The world is already in chaos, so what does it matter if a woman goes to the battlefield?
