Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 266 The purpose of the princess

Hearing this, Xiangling finally showed a different expression than usual, and Li Ke naturally noticed it too.

"People from Tuyuhun... The reason why I am still here is thanks to them. They want me to stay here, so I stayed. Since they left me here, I have to think about it. The consequences of my staying here."

Sure enough, when Li Ke heard what the other party said, he showed a slight smile. As expected, everything that the princess in front of him had said to him was true.

He hadn't lied to him before, so when he saw Xiang Ling talking to him, the other party didn't hesitate at all.

But all the innocence he sees may not be true, Xiangling is not as innocent as he appears on the surface, he has his own ideas, and he is very clear about what he is doing.

Most likely, what he did before was to make Li Ke relax his vigilance.

Now that Li Ke thought about it, it seemed that it was not impossible to do so, although it was not for that reason that he agreed to his request to stay in this place.

"So you stayed here to get revenge on them?"

Li Ke asked.

Now that Xiangling has said that, it means that he has no intention of concealing it, so Li Ke dared to ask such a question.

Xiangling nodded.

"That's true. Do you think I lied to you before and don't intend to let me stay by your side?"

Xiangling suddenly looked at Li Ke.

Li Ke shook his head.

"I have no such plan, you can stay here, if you want to be your princess."

Li Ke's statement made Xiangling stunned. He was not the innocent and innocent Princess Her Royal Highness he pretended to be at the beginning.

It's not that he is ignorant of everything in this world. He knows that this place was captured by Li Ke, and his people would not have abandoned her if it wasn't for Li Ke.

But he doesn't hate Li Ke, not so much, he has even been looking forward to this day.

"I don't want to be the princess here. If you don't dislike me, I will follow you. If you are worried that I will betray you one day, then let me go."

Xiangling said.

"Why?"

Li Ke felt that he hadn't fully understood the princess in front of him. He probably still had his own secret, so he didn't tell it.

Hearing Li Ke's question, Xiangling finally fell silent and didn't intend to speak.

Of course Li Ke will not give up easily, he must ask about this matter clearly.

"Since you have made such a plan, there should be nothing to hide from me, right? Besides, these things should be very important to me. I think you should know that I will not use these things to control you, right? ?”

Li Ke said.

He said this mainly to reassure the other party, and he also showed that he would not use this to control him.

Hearing what Li Ke said, Xiangling nodded helplessly: "Actually, it's because of my mother...my mother is from the Tang Dynasty. He told me about the Tang Dynasty since I was a child. Very yearning."

"Father told me at that time that one day, the land of Datang will be ours, and then we will be free to do whatever we want in the territory of Datang."

As Gu Wu said, he recalled things from a long time ago. At that time, his mother was still alive and told him stories every day.

When he asked about his father, this is what his father told him. He was still yearning very much at the time, hoping that one day he could really do whatever he wanted in the territory of Datang at will. At that time, he had no idea about it. What a concept, but figured it out when he got a little older.

"Unexpectedly, he had already told you these things at that time, so how did you change your mind?"

Seeing that Xiangling didn't continue, Li Ke asked.

"The opportunity was naturally my mother. My mother was a woman from the south of the Yangtze River. When she passed by here, she was robbed by mountain bandits and left here. When my father saw that he was born beautiful, he took her as his concubine. After that, I was born." .”

When Xiangling said this, there was a trace of longing in his eyes.

Li Ke can probably understand that he should also yearn for that kind of relationship.

It's a pity that such a revelation was only for a moment, and soon Xiangling returned to her usual appearance, and continued to speak.

"Mother knows what father thinks, so she has been arguing with him all the time. He is from Datang, so he naturally supports Datang, and he doesn't think it is a good thing to occupy Datang. He thinks that provoking fights is against the common people. Harmful, I hope everyone can get along with each other in peace, after all, Datang didn't do anything to us."

"I have been with my mother since I was a child, so I agree with what he said. I yearn for the peaceful scenes that my mother described to me, so I don't want to have a fight, but my father doesn't listen."

When Xiangling said this, Li Ke probably already understood.

"So your mother tried her best to stop it, and was he killed in the end?"

"Yes."

This word seemed to be squeezed out of Xiangling's teeth. When he said this word, his hands were trembling.

"At that time, I saw my mother was killed by my father. Since then, he locked me up until not long ago..."

Li Ke knew that not long ago was the time when he had just led his troops here, and that the Tuyuhun army should have fled at that time.

When he saw Xiangling, Xiangling was already free, so the Tuyuhun army should still want to take him away, right?

"Did they let you out?"

Li Ke asked curiously.

"it's not true."

Xiang Ling shook his head and continued.

"I've been locked up in that place. Measures have been taken long ago, and the lock has been broken. But in order not to arouse their suspicion, I kept pretending to be trapped there. Just now I heard the movement outside. , and ran out secretly, but I was arrested by them."

"They said that I am the princess of Tuyuhun. Leave me here to sit for a while, and I can stop you in the past, so that they can leave smoothly."

Now Li Ke finally understands why Xiangling treated them like that. To be honest, he would probably do the same thing. All he heard in Xiangling's words was hatred, and he didn't have any nostalgia for the Tuyuhun people.

This may be the reason why she knew that his father was in Li Ke's hands, but she never asked.

Now he wished he could kill his own father and avenge his mother, how could he help Tuyuhun's army escape?
"So are you waiting for me in that place on purpose? The purpose is to let me help you avenge."

Li Ke asked.
