Mirror: Twin Cities - Chapter 51
His original wife, who abandoned her husband and clansmen when her daughter was three years old, followed others away from home, making this scandal a laughing stock among kings.
Because of that taint, it would not have been her turn to be elected as the crown princess-the younger sister born to her stepmother and the daughter of the Qing Wang is more suitable for that kind of noble role than her. However, he did not expect that the Grand Si Ming, who was responsible for selecting the crown prince and concubine from the Bai clan, pointed out that Princess Baiying was the reincarnation of Queen Bai Wei thousands of years ago, and she was the only candidate for the crown prince.
That sentence became the final piece of evidence, and immediately Emperor Chengguang issued an edict and sent a jade book.
However, nothing has ever asked the two young men and women in question whether they would like it.
At that time, she didn’t know how the Prince Zhenlan strongly opposed this marriage, she only knew that she was unwilling. But after losing her mother, she developed a softness in front of her stepmother since she was a child, so that she couldn’t say anything against her-she just cried to her closest brother in private, and finally entered according to everyone’s wishes. White Tower.
Her eyebrows were sealed with a cinnabar cross star by the Chief Commander, and she began a three-year pre-marriage practice in seclusion, waiting for her husband who had never met to marry her as a concubine when she turned eighteen.
Then, the rapids of fate swept over, and everyone couldn’t help themselves… The last swordsmanship lesson of the master became Yongjue. After that, the two brothers and sisters of the same discipline never met again.
When they met again a hundred years later, he happily leaned out the window and hugged her hard.
However, his embrace was empty for an instant-his hand passed through her transparent body without any hindrance.
He looked at his empty hands in shock, and then looked up at the little sister.
“I’m dead, big brother…” Bai Ying looked at Xijing, and suddenly smiled bitterly. “Ninety years ago, in order to open the colorless city, the six stars have all fallen on Jiuyi Mountain-you should have had it too. Have you heard it?”
“I forgot.” With some embarrassment, he opened his empty hand, looked at the phantom in front of him, and smiled slowly, “Aying, brother, I’m sorry for you-the master asked me to take care of you, but I didn’t fulfill my duty at all. .”
“Wherever it is, it is destined…” Bai Ying looked at Xijing, who was full of wind and frost, with a bitter smile in her eyes, “I heard about your family’s affairs when Yecheng fell. Brother is also very hard, right? You used to not drink alcohol, but now you are like this…”
“Don’t mention me, I’m not worth mentioning.” Obviously, he didn’t want to go on. Xijing changed the subject and was concerned, “How about everyone in the colorless city?”
“If you don’t see the sun, there are only one hundred thousand living dead.” Bai Ying replied lightly, lowering her head.
“His Royal Highness, Prince Zhenlan…how?” Xijing sighed and asked, “Are you all together now, are you okay?”
“Very good.” Speaking of Zhen Lan, Bai Ying smiled, “He has a bad mouth, I can’t beat him. He often said that if the brother is there, it will be fine. Whether it is a quarrel or a fight, he is just the opponent. .”
“Hehe…” Xijing was a little surprised, looking at her, and looking up, “I thought you wouldn’t be together in your entire life. Didn’t you expect to become a loving couple?”
“What kind of couple? Have you ever seen a couple like us?” Bai Ying smiled, that smile reminded Xijing that the younger sister in front of him had lived alone for more than a hundred years. She smiled, but her smile was indescribable, “but said Kindness…that’s true. Kindness is greater than love—without Zhen Lan, I really don’t know how to live the past 100 years.”
“Senior brother hasn’t lived alone for a hundred years, right?” After a pause, Bai Ying smiled and looked at the senior brother: “That’Ting’ girl, does it seem to be the senior’s wife?”
Xijing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly there was an embarrassing wry smile: “No… she is a shark, and I was rescued by me, so she refused to leave.”
“Sailant…?” Bai Ying shook slightly and murmured, “Do you mind if she is a scorpion?”
“No.” Xijing replied, stopped talking, and said slowly after a long time, “You also know… Your sister-in-law died early… Some things can’t be forgotten after a long time.”
——As if touching a sensitive topic, both of them were suddenly silent. The wind seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, and there was an aura of rain, blowing between the two in a cool manner.
“Hey, are you two tired? Just stand and talk without going in and sitting?” In silence, a voice finally couldn’t help but complain, breaking the stagnant atmosphere.
Xijing was stunned, and only now recovered from the surprise of the reunion, and saw the girl who had been driven out a moment ago.
“Hehe, this girl, I’m back again!” Na Sheng met his gaze, triumphant-although inexplicably, she also vaguely guessed that Xijing was dating the prince concubine after seeing the situation of the two people just now and hearing the conversation. Very shallow, I couldn’t help looking at Xijing with a smile, wondering how would you refuse this time?
“Brother, I brought the Sheng girl back.” Bai Ying pulled over the Sheng and jumped into the room together.
“Oh?” Xijing’s eyes slowly condensed, and he saw the pair of silver sapphire rings shining each other on the two women shaking hands. He slowly raised his head and looked at the younger sister: “You came to me for her?”
“Yeah.” The white-clothed woman was a little embarrassed, but lowered her head and begged, “This girl Sheng is the one chosen by the emperor-she has broken the first seal on Zhen Lan, and I want to ask the brother to take care of her. .”
“What, the seal of the East has been broken?” Xijing couldn’t help but be surprised, but then nodded, “No wonder…it’s no wonder that Huangtian is in her hands. The first time I saw it, I was puzzled-Zhenlan’s. Can you move your right hand? Congratulations, the boy has been separated from his head for long enough, and he has suffered a lot.”
“The Cangliu Empire is sending people to chase and kill Girl Sheng, so I want to ask my senior to take care of her so that she can unlock the remaining four seals.” Bai Ying looked at Xijing and asked, “You know, we Mingling Can’t walk in the cloud in the daytime.”
“Uh…Four seals?” Xijing paused, and recalled, “The East’s’king’s right hand’ has returned to the Colorless City, plus the head of Zhen Lan that you recaptured—then the remaining four are in the north. The Jiuyi Kongsang King’s Mausoleum in the West, the Altar of the Ice Race in the West’s Silent Mountain, the bottom of the southern Jinghu estuary…The last part of the body is still under the white tower of the Holy City of Garan!
“That’s why I made a special trip to ask my brother,” Bai Ying smiled bitterly, apparently also knowing the difficulty of the matter. “The Kongsang people subjugate the country and exterminate the species. Only you can walk through the cloud and have this ability, and you are the only one who can walk in the cloud and have this ability. “
Xijing groaned, not knowing what he was thinking, just picked up the empty hip flasks on the table and swayed one by one, and finally found one that was still making a sound. He picked it up, but his eyes were looking at the towering white tower in the night sky outside. Slowly Slowly ask: “Aying, now, are you asking me as a junior sister, or ordering me as the crown prince?”
“Brother?” Bai Ying was stunned, apparently not expecting Xijing to ask this question suddenly.
“To be honest, when I saw this little girl, I expected her to be related to Kongsang-but I still drove her away.” Xijing raised his head and drank, his eyes dimmed, “Aying, and Just put it straight, I really don’t want to get involved in the war and restoration of the country… For a hundred years, I have long looked down on it, and I just want to drink.”
Bai Ying looked at the unshaven man, her eyes changed drastically, and she bit her lips tightly: “Brother, have you forgotten that you are also a Kongsang? You, you forgot how you guarded Yecheng and fought Bingyi. ?”
“You can’t forget…the blood of so many people is scattered in front of you, and you can see it when you close your eyes.” Xijing drank the wine, and suddenly there was a certain painful look on his face, “How many people…how many people died? In a battle of Split Mirror? The blood flowed so that Jinghu was red…Aying, you haven’t seen it before, so you are not afraid. Stop fighting. Really, I don’t want to fight again.”
Bai Ying stared at the Xiaoqi general in front of him, her eyes slowly cooling down: “So you only drink alcohol?”
“Drink… Alright drink.” Xijing suddenly laughed, picked up the hip flask, and faced the white tower at the end of the sky, “Aying, do you know? I was just as eager to revenge the country as you did, but For a hundred years, seeing the rule of the Cangliu Empire has become more and more stable, and the Quartet has become more and more stable, I just…”
He shook his head and smiled bitterly: “Did you know? On May 15 of that year, Bingyi held the 50th anniversary of the founding of the country, and all the soldiers of the Legion were dispatched-the wings of the wind falcon covered the sky, and the night in the city of Garan The torches circled the white tower layer upon layer, like the dragon **** lifted into the sky! How spectacular—I know they are showing the power of the empire to the four parties, letting people know that the new order is as strong as iron—but at that moment, I I was still shocked…”
“Compared to our erosive Menghua Dynasty, the Cangliu Empire is really much stronger.” Xijing drank wine, as if these words had been buried in his heart for too long, erupting, irresistible, “How can Kongsang How about not subjugating the country?-Aying, I was desperate to defend Yecheng back then, but what happened in the end? Kongsang has already started to rot from inside!”
Bai Ying didn’t speak, recalling how Ye Cheng was betrayed back then, speechless.
“However, I didn’t regret it at that time, and I don’t regret it now when I think about it. I am a soldier, so naturally I have to do my best to defend the country…” The wine gurgled into his throat, Xijing’s voice also became drunk, and he looked at the night sky, “But I’m done. Li and Kongsang are still dead-that is an inevitable result. Now a new order has been established,
