true identity

The mountain wind crossed the lake, swept away the treetops, and opened the windows to break the silence in the house.

Liu Lin closed the door and window and guarded the door, Qin Ke and Gongsun Xiang were silent in the room.

When the fragrance of tea filled the whole room, Gongsun Xiang rubbed his chest and smiled wryly: "You are really merciless."

Qin Ke suppressed his concerned eyes: "I've already turned on the water."

"Yes, it's because my martial arts skills are not as good as yours." Gongsun Xiang said.

Qin Ke frowned: "You are always perfunctory in your martial arts practice, and you are arrogant because of your talent. The master has accused you of this many times before, but you have never changed it."

"But I have taught good apprentices." Gongsun Xiang raised his eyebrows proudly.She wields knives and guns all the year round, she should be a sonorous rose, but at this moment the posture of the little girl is not at all pretentious, on the contrary, she has an unusual charm.

When mentioning Gongsun Ming, Qin Ke was not angry and neglected. He looked at Gongsun Xiang with bright eyes, as if he had changed back to the youthful young man he was back then: "You can always get what you want." It was gratification and envy.

Gongsun Xiang stroked his hand on the table.Qin Ke's hand twitched slightly, as if scalded by hot coals, but he obediently did not move at all, allowing Gongsun Xiang to cover it.

"Qin Ke, you can also do what you want."

Reason resisted the gentle cannonball, and now he smiled wryly: "I can no longer turn back, and I don't want to turn back after halfway through the journey. Xiang'er, don't persuade me, I have made up my mind."

Dissuasion pours into the lake like rain, stirring up waves and calming down as usual.Gongsun Xiang sighed lightly: "My father did not agree with what happened to the princess, and he wanted to restore the country because of the yelling from many forces at the beginning. But do you know whose son Zhao Yue is?"

"who?"

"Xiao Heng." This answer was no less than a thunderbolt.

Qin Ke immediately stood up: "How do you know?"

"My father is a bodyguard, so he doesn't know where the child is from. My mother is the princess's personal maid, so she naturally knows about Zhao Yue's origin. But once Zhao Yue's life is known, it will only embarrass the princess, so I avoid talking about it." Gongsun Xiang Looking at Qin Ke, he said, "So Yan'er should be Xiao Heng's granddaughter. What do you mean by reviving the country?"

Qin Ke leaned his elbow on the table and propped his forehead with one hand.The facts given by Gongsun Xiang made him feel extremely absurd, and the banner of restoration that had been playing all the time finally fell into an absurd situation.

They tried so hard to bring the descendants of the royal family back to the throne, but the blood was mixed with Xiao Heng who destroyed Zhao Guo.

The incident was also caused by unwillingness and anger, but what anger is more humiliating than the princess betraying Zhao Guo?

"What do you mean by looking for me at night?" Qin Ke raised his head and asked, "Even if you tell me, I won't change. The truth can be hidden, as long as Zhao Yan is of Zhao's blood, we can pull Xiao Tingchuan back throne."

After he, Ge Dong and others returned to their room, they planned to rest overnight and retreat the next day. Unexpectedly, Gongsun Xiang sent Liu Lin to invite him, so he came to talk in detail.

Gongsun Xiang called Liu Lin loudly: "Come in."

Qin Ke held down the sword at his waist cautiously.

Gongsun Xiang turned a blind eye and said, "Someone wants to see you."

"Who?"

"Uncle Qin, it's me." Zhao Yan came slowly, and Liu Lin closed the door and continued to wait outside.

Zhao Yan didn't know that Zhao Ci was not his own brother.

At that time, Gongsun Xiang touched Zhao Yan's head and sighed: "You and your father have a three-point resemblance, with charming autumn eyes, fat and emerald skin, and a compassionate heart."

Zhao Yan asked at the time: "What about brother?"

Gongsun Xiang raised the corner of his mouth and said inexplicably: "He?" Before the words were unfolded, it was like a scroll breaking, and Zhao Yan was puzzled by the meaning of the exposure.The strange attitude made Zhao Yan ponder and ponder, and combined with the way Gongsun Xiang treated the two, Zhao Yanruo felt something.

She is not tall due to illness, and her braids are malnourished dark yellow in the sun, standing beside the bright Tao Tao like a child.But she has a delicate and exquisite heart, and she is good at covering up her sensitive and fragile heart with a cute and cute appearance.The illness took away her freedom, but gave her more time to observe and figure out other people's minds.

As Gongsun Xiang said, she really felt comfortable physically and mentally around Zhao Ci, as if her illness had disappeared and she could run around like a normal person.But she was unwilling to marry her brother, and the marriage ordered by Gongsun Xiang disrupted the way the three of them got along.

She can read words and deeds, of course she knows that the two elder brothers have long admired each other.

On the eve of their marriage, Zhao Yan urged Zhao Ci to elope with Gongsun Ming.Zhao Ci nodded solemnly, saying sadly that he owed his sister, but at the same time rejoicing at his sister's understanding.But unexpectedly, the elopement failed, and Zhao Ci was tied back to the wedding scene by Gongsun Ming instead.

Surprised, Zhao Yan secretly raised the red hijab. She never expected to see such an expression on Zhao Ci's face, desperate and helpless, confused and angry.

Back in the wedding room, Zhao Ci sat down beside Zhao Yan and said, "I misjudged him." The night wind from Hanfeng Mountain was not as cold as his tone.

Zhao Yan couldn't figure out what happened between them, but she still wanted to help him: "Then do you want to go down the mountain?"

This time, she still wanted to help her brother.

Zhao Yan walked towards Qin Ke: "I'll replace my brother and follow you."

Qin Ke stood up: "Do you know what you're talking about?" Seeing Zhao Yan nodding, he glared at Gongsun Xiang angrily: "Gongsun Xiang, what do you mean?"

The latter smiled sadly: "It was you who repeatedly forced me to choose between Zhao Ci and Zhao Yan, but now you are the one who reprimanded me for not caring about her."

"Zhao Yan was raised by you yourself, would you like to see her running with me on the battlefield?" Qin Ke asked loudly.

"I can bear it." Zhao Yan stepped forward.

Once a good girl becomes stubborn, it will be more troublesome than a bear child, who can't be beaten or scolded, and the baby in pain will feel that she will be hurt even by glancing at her.But Qin Ke really couldn't understand these two people, he said to Gongsun Xiang angrily, "She is Zhao Yue's only daughter, so you are willing?"

"This is Yan'er's thought after serious consideration, and I respect her choice." Gongsun Xiang said.Last time, she ignored the wishes of others and forcibly pressed the two newcomers to hold their wedding, which caused irreversible consequences.From then on, she understood that although these children were brought up by her, they lived their own lives after all.Too much interference and control by her will only continue to make big mistakes, and who can be sure that what she does is definitely right?The best way is to respect their decisions, no matter the outcome, good or bad, she will bear it with them.

Looking at the dizzy pair of women, Qin Ke wanted to question Gongsun Xiang: He liked Zhao Yue so much at the beginning, and he almost passed out crying after he died. Later, he wanted to raise his daughter even if he was not married, but now he can be ruthless. Make up your mind to let him take Zhao Yan away?What do women really think? Do they just take one step at a time in a muddleheaded way?

He thought a lot, remained silent for a long time, and finally did not speak.

Let this ups and downs sink into the sea and be buried in the depths.

The candlelight was flickering, Qin Ke's face was gloomy and unclear.Zhao Yan asked timidly, "Is it possible?"

"Why?" Qin Ke asked.He knew that Zhao Yan was kind, but he still didn't understand why she insisted on replacing Zhao Ci.

In an instant, many pictures floated across Zhao Yan's mind.

She knew that Zhao Cifei didn't reveal too much after her own brother, and she would still pretend to be pitiful to win Zhao Ci's love, but once the seasons turned and her body was weak, she would hold on so that no one would notice her pain.He thought he had concealed it well, and even kept his brows from wrinkling into a pile, and put a lot of dried flowers in the bitter sachet to dissolve the bitterness.But Zhao Ci still cracked her disguise one by one.

Unwrap her soft shell, take care of her meticulously and care for her, feed her medicine with distressed heart, and use kung fu to warm her body at a loss.

It was only when Zhao Yan cried into a ball that she realized that regardless of blood relationship or not, he will always be her elder brother.

Irreplaceable brother.

That summer, she wanted to go down the mountain to play on a whim.Zhao Ci couldn't resist her acting like a baby, so he secretly took her to the town down the mountain with Gongsun Ming.Unexpectedly, I happened to meet a group of victims who fled south due to famine.Zhao Yan got separated during the collision, and was escorted to a broken building by malicious people.When preparing to sell, the anxious Zhao Ci suddenly descended like a god.

Zhao Yan's fine attire was stripped and sold off, and the remaining moon-white inner shirt was covered with dusty and black unknown things.Overly frightened, she was as dumb as a goose, and burst into tears when she saw Zhao Ci wronged.Zhao Ci, who has always been good-tempered, mistakenly thought that something happened, and immediately pointed his knife at those bastards.

Many years later, when Zhao Yan recalled the past, the experience of being abducted was hard to remember, but the scene of Zhao Ci standing in front of her with a sword in his hands and holding a sword was still vivid in his memory.

Qin Ke asked her why?

She can answer a lot.

The elder brother who wove grasshoppers and gave them to her, the elder brother who caught fireflies and played with her, the elder brother who took care of her day and night when he was sick, and the elder brother who bravely rushed forward to protect her.

He was only three years older than her, and these mere three years allowed him to forge a solid arm, allowing her to safely lean in his arms as a little girl who knew nothing about the world.

She has done enough for a pure, kind and beautiful little girl, and now she should be asked to do something for Zhao Ci.

Tears flashed in Zhao Yan's eyes: "Because of me, my elder brother and Gongsun elder brother had to separate. Now that my elder brother has finally found a beloved one, I don't want them to be separated again."

A knock on the door interrupted their contemplation.

Liu Lin and a man in black followed Gongsun Xiang's "please come in" to get in.She took all three of their expressions into her eyes at a glance, then clasped her fists and said to Gongsun Xiang, "This person has something important to report."

The man in black was Qin Ke's subordinate. He knelt on the ground and gasped out of breath, "Zhao Ci went down the mountain with Jiang Yanyi on his back. We dare not act rashly without your order. Do we need to stop him?"

Zhao Yan hurriedly turned her head, tears streaming down her face, she looked at Qin Ke pleadingly and expectantly.

After a moment of silence, when even the subordinates on the ground couldn't help looking up, Qin Ke replied with a smile: "We have Princess Zhao Yan here, so why should we be afraid?"
