MTL - After Wearing a Book, I Pampered Five Big Villains-Chapter 451 A promise is worth a thousand dollars

  Chapter 451 A Promise, a Thousand Gold

   "What are you laughing at?" Helian Linyu frowned and stared at the boy sitting on the opposite bed, "Are you 'yes' or 'no'?"

  Qi Kill didn't want to hide this kind of thing from the other party, so he nodded slightly very seriously.

  Helian Linyu was taken aback.

  He originally asked in a joking manner, but he never thought that the other party was really related to the fifth prince of Chu State by blood.

  After a moment of astonishment, Helian Linyu's expression became serious, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Do you know anything about the Chu royal family?"

   Qisha said very cautiously: "Know a little, but it's not a lot of understanding."

  Helian Linyu asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Then have you ever heard of 'Twin Emperors' family, one son leaves and the other returns'?"

  Qi Sha shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it. What do you mean by that?"

  He Lian Linyu looked very serious, and explained in a deep voice: "This means that if there are twins born in the Chu royal family, one will be killed and the other will be kept."

   Qisha's face changed drastically.

  He never expected such a result anyway.

  A coolness invaded his whole body in an instant, as if he had fallen into a frozen lake in the twelfth lunar month of winter. Not only was his body terribly cold, but his heart was also full of despair.

  He suddenly understood why Chu Mingxiao had murderous intentions when he met him for the first time today—the royal twins can only live one.

   How ridiculous?

"The world is yin and yang, odd is yang, even is yin." Helian Linyu's expression became more and more serious, and he explained in a deep voice, "Twins are an even number, which is regarded as 'yin' in the number of yin and yang." Yin ' is an ominous omen, to resolve this way can only turn 'Yin' into 'Yang'."

   However, how to make the "even number" of twins become "odd number"?

   It is obviously impossible to give birth to another triplet immediately, so the only way is to kill one of them.

   There is only one child left, which is an odd number.

   Odd numbers are yang and auspicious.

  Hearing this explanation, Qi Sha felt completely chilled all over.

  If he really killed one and kept the other, then he was not expected from birth.

   Or to be more precise, from the moment he was born, he was destined to be a hated person who made people want to get rid of him.

  Such facts are too bleak, and Seven Kills feels unexplainable.

  He asked rather self-deceivingly: "Why didn't the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty have such a statement?"

Helian Linyu's expression was rare and serious, he didn't have the slightest sloppy attitude, his upper body was inclined to seven kills, and he said with an extremely solemn posture and tone: "Actually, the royal families of all countries have the family of 'twin emperors, one son goes and one son dies. Zihuan’, but it depends on whether everyone really chooses to do so.”

   "Although some royal families know this kind of taboo, out of love for their children, they don't implement the so-called "one son goes and one son returns" rule."

   "For example, the former Xia Kingdom—the last female emperor of Xia Kingdom and her younger brother were twins of a dragon and a phoenix."

   "The "twins" in the "Twin Emperor's Family" does not only refer to same-sex twins, but refers to all cases of twins, including dragon and phoenix twins."

   "However, the Emperor Xia at that time did not choose to kill his daughter and save his son, but let both sons and daughters grow up healthily."

   "You should also know what happened later - because the last emperor of the Xia Dynasty was a woman, the princes from all walks of life refused to accept her and rebelled one after another."

   "In the end, the Xia Dynasty fell in the hands of this empress."

   "There is also such a lesson from the past. Now countries are very awed by the saying that 'the family of twin emperors, one son goes and the other returns'."

   "Most of the royal family believed that if the twins did not kill one and take the other, but let both grow up, this would definitely bring disaster to the royal family—or even annihilation."

  Qi Sha quietly listened to this explanation, only to feel that it was extremely absurd, but at the same time it was chaotic and desolate, and he didn't know where to start.

  There are various complicated reasons for the rise and fall of a country. How can the fate of the country be pushed directly to the twins?

  Although I have such a rational view in my heart, on the other hand, I can't help but doubt it—could I really be a disaster star?

  These two thoughts repeatedly collided in Qi Sha's heart, making him feel uncomfortable, and he became more and more silent.

   But in this silence, he had a strange calmness.

He still had a little bit of naive hope, and asked unwillingly: "You just said that 'most' royal families believe in the saying that 'the family of twin emperors, one son goes away and the other returns', so there are still a 'small number' of royal families Which ones are they?"

  Helian Linyu smiled a little embarrassedly, but then looked very proud, puffed up her chest slightly and said: "Of course it's us Turks."

   Seven kills were unexpected.

   He stared at the Turkic barbarian in front of him with wide eyes, and said in disbelief: "Is this true?"

"Why am I lying to you?" Helian Linyu smiled helplessly, "The grassland is no more precious than your Central Plains. Women are precious and rare, and children are even rarer—so, every child on the grassland is very precious." Both Having children is unlucky for your Central Plains dynasty, but it is a blessing from the heavens for us Turks. Having twins is to increase the population of the grassland, and every Turkic will feel lucky for this.”

  Qi Sha couldn't help but feel even more desolate, and showed a smile that was uglier than crying.

  He Lian Linyu didn't know how to comfort him, and said: "You are not suitable for laughing, so don't try to laugh, it is too ugly."

   Qisha didn't speak, but silently immersed in his own sadness.

  However, he has always been calm enough and cold enough.

  Although knowing his own life experience was enough to cause him chaos, it was only temporary.

   Qisha was not addicted to sadness, he quickly got out of this sadness, and was extremely keenly aware of the danger.

   To be precise, his current situation is too dangerous.

  Since the statement of "one son goes and one son returns" has been recognized by the Chu family, then only one of him and Chu Mingxiao can stay.

  Chu Mingxiao obviously wanted to kill him.

Moreover, being the same twins, Chu Mingxiao is now the fifth prince of the Chu Kingdom, but he has been living outside the country since he was a child and even became a dead man. This actually shows that the royal family had chosen Chu Mingxiao and abandoned him. he.

  However, the royal family was obviously soft-hearted at the time, and did not directly kill him, the so-called "twin", but abandoned him outside, which gave him the opportunity to grow up to this day.

   Qisha twitched the corner of his mouth slightly in a self-deprecating manner.

  His gaze has become cold, and the sorrow just now has been swept away.

  He looked at the Turkic prince in front of him, and said solemnly and coldly: "Helian, I'm going back to Da Zhou now, you send someone to protect me."

  He Lian Linyu originally wanted to tease and said: You are so impolite, you just ask for someone from me, making it as if my person is your person.

  However, Helian Linyu also knew that the current situation was extraordinary.

  Although he is a rough-minded person, he has always been very sensitive to government affairs.

  Ever since he told Qi Sha that "the family of twin emperors, one son leaves and the other returns", he already expected Qi Sha to be in a dire situation.

  Now, Seven Kills offered to ask Xingye to return to Dazhou, and Helian Linyu was extremely in favor of it, and he also appreciated Qi Kill's determination and courage.

  Of course, if someone else dares to make such a request to Helian Linyu, he must think that the other party has a brain hole, and he will beat him up first.

  However, Seven Kills escorted him all the way back to Turkic this time. During this time, he encountered several groups of assassinations arranged by his brothers, but each time he saved himself from danger under the protection of Seven Kills.

   Therefore, Helian Linyu is very convinced of Qisha's ability, and he also admires Qisha.

  Prairie is where the strong are respected, so Helian Linyu's perception of Seven Kills is no longer comparable to that of the past.

  He was looking at this man as a respectable opponent.

   What's more, Qisha came to Turkic because of escorting him. Now that Qisha has encountered difficulties in Turkic, he, as a host, is naturally responsible for escorting Qisha back to Dazhou safely.

  Helian Linyu nodded and replied calmly: "Okay, I will arrange it now."

  After saying that, he turned around and left the tent.

  Qi Sha got up from the bed, under the oil lamp, took out the long knife at his waist, polished it carefully, and then put the long knife back into the scabbard.

   Then, he pulled out a small box from the space under the bed, which contained a small ceramic pot and about three packs of herbs.

   This is the medicinal herb Saburo prepared for him, and it is rationed according to the amount of a month.

  However, he has stayed in Turkic for too long now, and he has used too many medicinal herbs, which is not enough now.

  Thinking of this, Qisha became more and more eager to return, wishing he could fly back to Saburo Pei right now.

He put the remaining three medicine packs into the burden very preciously, and then hung the small ceramic pot on his waist—this was specially treated by him at the beginning, and an iron hook was specially made on the small ceramic pot to come out , and he also specially equipped a skin bag, the small ceramic pot can be placed directly in the skin bag, and with the hook, it can be said to be quite stable.

  After the most important things were packed, Qi Sha felt relieved.

   Clothes that are optional, just don’t.

  I am on the road at night and starry night, and I am not leisurely looking at the scenery along the way, and I have to avoid hunting and killing along the way, so I don’t have time to take a shower and change clothes, so I don’t need to bring clothes.

  Qisha looked critically at the contents of the small box. He only did subtraction, never addition—after the last lap, he realized that there was really nothing to bring except for the gold leaf.

   After packing these up, Qi Kill heard a sound behind him. Turning around, he realized that it was Helian Linyu who had gone and returned.

   There were two guards who came back with this Turkic barbarian—these two guards had big knives on their waists. They looked very majestic and heroic, and their martial arts foundation should not be weak.

   What Qisha didn't know was that these two were Helian Linyu's most capable soldiers.

  He Lian Linyu doesn't intend to explain this kind of thing, it's hypocritical to say too much, and some things are left unsaid.

   "The horses have been prepared for you, don't worry about dry food." Helian Linyu explained quickly, throwing a bag over.

  Qi Sha subconsciously raised a hand to catch the small bag, opened it, and found that it was the "living expenses" that he had handed over to Helian Linyu these days.

   This person actually paid him back a lot of money...

   Qi Sha suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

  His close relatives wanted him to die immediately, but this kind of people who had no blood relationship were very supportive and helpful to him.

  For a while, it was like knocking over the five-flavor bottle in my heart-it really is all in it, mixed together, both bitter and sweet.

   Qisha is not a person who hurts the spring and the autumn. Although he was shocked in his heart, he didn't look moved on his face.

  He held the money bag tightly, looked at the Turkic prince in front of him very seriously, and said very solemnly: "Thank you."

  Although there is no thanks for the great kindness, but for a person like Qisha, the meaning of "thank you" is too much, and the affection contained in it is too heavy.

   "Let's go." Helian Linyu personally sent Qi Sha out of the tent.

  At this time, the night was dark and windy, and it was chilly all around.

  He Lian Linyu tore off the cloak casually and put it on Qi Sha, and laughed nonchalantly: "Don't be sick again——When San Lang asks, I will be guilty of a serious crime."

  Qi Sha closed the cloak on his body, and after a moment of silence, he said solemnly: "Fair competition."

Although these words sounded nonsensical, Helian Linyu understood it directly—Qi Sha was saying that regarding the pursuit of Pei Jiasanlang, they competed fairly, and no one should play tricks means.

  Helian Linyu couldn't help feeling funny, and wanted to say "Are you short-hearted", but felt that the current atmosphere was really inappropriate.

He thought very quickly, took a token from his body and handed it to the Seven Killers, half-jokingly and half-seriously said: "This is my token of love for Saburo, you put it away, and it must be handed over to Saburo when the time comes— If there are Turkic soldiers stopping you along the way, you can show them this token of love, and they will let you go."

   Seven kills folded his fingers together, and put this small token in his palm.

  He has a quick mind, and he doesn't understand that Helian Linyu gave him a life-saving gadget in disguise.

  Qi Sha only felt a bit sore in his throat. At this moment, he really couldn't even say "thank you". He seems to have a little understanding of what it means to say no thanks.

   "Let's go quickly." Helian Linyu said while carefully checking the saddle and horse's hooves.

  He raised his head and found that Qi Sha's expression was a little moved, and his mood was very complicated for a while.

But like Qisha, he is also a person who is not used to being sticky, so he grinned and said: "Let's go quickly. When you see Saburo, you must say something nice for me—and, Xiao Junji You and Xun Huan have to guard against them. Their thoughts are too bad, and they can definitely do murder and arson. Huo Yuan is a real gentleman, and he has no bad intentions except being hypocritical. If you really run into something, you'd better I'm going to find Huo Yuan."

  Qi Sha was naturally clear about these things.

   But now hearing Helian Linyu mention it, he doesn't feel tired of repeating it, but just has a warm feeling of being trusted by a close friend.

  Best friend...

   Qisha suddenly felt an unspeakable emotion in his heart.

   It was the first time in his life that he felt what a friend was.

  Qi Sha was emotionally overwhelmed, and the hand holding the rein unconsciously exerted a little more force.

   But he is always calm in his heart, even if he is moved, he is still very restrained.

   Qisha solemnly clasped his fists and said, "Farewell."

  Helian Linyu also solemnly replied: "Treasure."

  The two looked at each other speechlessly.

  Qi Sha gave Helian Linyu a complicated look, then pulled the reins and turned the horse's head, raised the whip to beat the horse, and then left.

   The night is dark, and the sound of horseshoes.

Helian Linyu watched Qisha's group disappear into the night, and immediately turned around and said: "Go to Tazi Pass immediately, and tell the officers and soldiers along the way to let Qilang Lord go all the way, and if you encounter soldiers from Chu State, you will stop them. "

   "Obey." The guard followed the order and left.

  Helian Linyu made another arrangement in an orderly manner: "Go and look at the camp of the Fifth Prince of Chu, if anyone comes in or out, report it immediately."

   "Tonight, any Chu people who want to leave their tents will be stopped."

   "The second prince and the third prince are watching closely. If they dare to go to the camp of the fifth prince of Chu, they will be detained directly."

  …

  The subordinates took orders and left one after another.

  The night became darker, just like a person's mood, heavy.

  There is no moon or star tonight, and it is terribly dark everywhere.

  Everyone has their own plans, but no one can sleep.

  After arriving in the middle of the night, a torch was suddenly lit in the tent.

  He Lian Linyu was just taking a nap with his eyes closed, but when he heard a faint sound, he immediately opened his eyes.

His deputy walked into the tent and reported in a deep voice: "My lord, the second lord and the third lord really went to the fifth prince of Chu tonight. Our people detained the two lords. Now, the two lords are arguing." It's making a fuss, and their guards are coming to us to ask for an explanation."

   "Hmph." Helian Linyu snorted coldly, and said sarcastically: "A bunch of useless people! Foreign enemies don't dare to move, they know what's wrong with them!"

  The deputy general didn't dare to answer. After all, this was talking about the members of the royal family. The great prince can say it himself, but those servants like them can't talk too much.

  He Lian Linyu got up and walked out of the tent. Under the guidance of the lieutenant general, he walked to an open space, and saw his second and third younger brothers standing in a row in the dark night under pressure.

   These two people are very restless, and the noise is disturbing.

  Helian Linyu frowned, and impatiently cursed a Turkic foul language.

  The two arrogant princes suddenly fell silent, like a child who has been scolded in front of his parents.

Helian Linyu looked at the two worrying younger brothers, and asked with disgust: "What's the trouble? You want to fight with my people, so as to create chaos and let the Chu people slip out of the camp, right? "

  The second prince and the third prince were taken into consideration, and each of them bowed their heads guiltyly, and no one dared to say anything.

  Seeing this situation, He Lian Linyu was really out of breath.

  His two useless younger brothers!

  If you can't do your business, it's top-notch to hold you back!

   "The two of you colluded with Prince Da Zhou to murder me before, I don't have to worry about it with you."

   "You still want to curry favor with the Fifth Prince of Chu, but I can't let you do this."

Helian Linyu looked tired, and gestured: "Take the second prince and the third prince to kneel outside the court, let them reflect in front of King Khan—oh, yes, shut their mouths , don’t let the two princes disturb Father Khan’s rest.”

  The second prince and the third prince were dumbfounded, and hated this elder brother to death.

   But they are not allowed to yell, the soldiers around have already stuffed each of them with a smelly sweat towel, which directly made him unable to speak.

   "Mmmmmmm!"

   "Mmmmmmm..."

  Although they were unable to speak, the two princes still protested tenaciously with murmurs.

  He Lian Linyu rubbed the center of his brows, thinking to himself how could he have two stupid younger brothers who are so stupid?

  After the soldiers took the two princes away, Helian Linyu turned to the Xingyuan where the envoy of Chu State was.

  Although the night is deep now, the envoys of the Chu Kingdom obviously haven't fallen asleep yet.

  How can I sleep?

   A person who looks exactly like their fifth prince suddenly appeared on the Turkic territory. Who would not be shocked? Who can sleep?

  Anyway, none of them, who are loyal to the fifth prince, can't sleep.

  The people below couldn't fall asleep, so how could the fifth prince, Chu Mingxiao, be able to sleep?

  Ever since meeting that bumpkin brother today, Chu Mingxiao has been planning **** him quietly.

  Who would have thought that his country bumpkin brother was so vigilant—he ran away in the dark tonight.

  If he hadn't ordered someone to secretly guard outside the bumpkin's camp to monitor the situation, he would have let the bumpkin escape by now.

   Fortunately, the people he sent out have caught up with the bumpkin...

  Chu Mingxiao smiled with satisfaction.

  His elder brother is suitable for visiting the underworld.

   Just as he was thinking of this, Chu Mingxiao suddenly heard commotion outside the tent.

  He was very vigilant, and immediately took the long sword on the side and walked out.

  On the open space outside the tent, his subordinates were saluting, shouting: "I have seen the great prince."

  Chu Mingxiao didn't expect it, and when he looked up, he saw an overly burly man standing in the night like a hill.

  Chu Mingxiao felt bad, forced a smile and asked, "Why did your lord visit late at night?"

  Helian Linyu smiled.

  This smile is very malicious, or in other words, contains a deep sense of threat.

  Chu Mingxiao felt even worse.

  The next moment, he saw the soldiers behind Helian Linyu leading several people to him.

  To be precise, there are five people in total.

  Those five people were the master guards he sent out to hunt down the bumpkin brother.

  Chu Mingxiao's complexion changed drastically, and his anger suddenly rose, and he asked sharply, "What does this mean, my lord?!"

He Lian Linyu was not afraid of him at all, but was even more angry and arrogant than him, and directly asked with a gloomy face: "This king is just about to ask, what does the fifth prince mean?! In my Turkic royal court, I sent a killer to go Chase and kill my distinguished guests! Is this the etiquette of your Chu country?!"

  He Lian Linyu snorted coldly, and sarcastically said in disgust: "I don't know if it's the Chu Kingdom who is so arrogant, or the Fifth Prince who is so arrogant."

  Chu Mingxiao suffered a terrible loss, his face flushed with anger.

  He didn't care about this matter at all, so he could only make nonsense: "These people just want to wander around casually, and the prince is too fussy."

  Helian Linyu smiled and said: "I like to make a big fuss. If there is a murder case in my territory, even if the king of heaven comes, I will clean it up."
