Chapter 3: Anti-Crossover Hope No.15 Two Men
This is a fine carriage.
This can be seen from the fact that there is no noise at all when the wheels are running.
It's obvious that the big fox is very rich. He still drives a Ferrari, so his carriage is probably at least of BMW level.
From this we can see that the phrase "rumbling sound" definitely describes a carriage of inferior quality.
Although the carriage looks plain, its interior is luxurious. Not only are the seats spacious and comfortable, but it is also equipped with fruits and a stove. The most incredible thing is that there is a bookshelf on the west side...
The big fox was sitting near the bookshelf, reading a book with his hands under his head.
I don't know why, but as long as the big fox doesn't smile, I feel a sense of fear towards him for no reason. As long as the big fox smiles, I feel an urge to escape for no reason. This feeling can be roughly attributed to "small animals' strong sixth sense to avoid danger"...
So I curled up in the corner farthest from him and nibbled pine nuts slowly.
I don’t know if it’s because the roads in Houming are too well built, or if the price-performance ratio of the BMW of Big Fox is too high, but under the gentle, slow, and regular shaking, I gradually lost my focus…
…………
"You betrayed me--!!!" I roared and grabbed Mou Shou's collar, I was angry.
"What do you mean by betrayal? I didn't!" A "traitor" showed a surprised expression, "Also, why are you here?"
"You still say no! You...you have recognized the thief as your father!" I pointed at the big fox with a trembling hand. The big fox smiled as he looked at the two people who were twisting in a ball.
"Minmin, you must not be rude to His Highness the Fourth Prince." A certain "traitor" shouted at me in a low voice, and immediately erected a chastity arch for the big fox. "His Highness the Fourth Prince is a wise ruler known throughout the country. He is courteous to the wise and humble, and is well-known for his self-discipline and propriety. What villain's words did Minmin listen to that made her belittle His Highness like this?"
A wise ruler? Respect the wise and humble? Self-discipline and courtesy?
The corners of my mouth twitched...
"Does your wise master, who is courteous and self-disciplined, have a twisted hobby that is unknown to others? For example, he likes to use despicable means to knock out a weak woman and drag her away on a dark and windy night!"
"What... did you say?" The "traitor" looked at me in disbelief and then at the big fox, who was still grinning. "...What on earth is going on?"
"What happened? That's what happened~ My neck still hurts now, look, is it red?" He showed the ironclad evidence of abuse with infinite grievance. "Not only did he rob me, he also detained Qingqing and Xiaotao to threaten me, and he was about to pack me up and send me to that so-called King Luo... But you, I don't even know where you are!"
Mou Shou rubbed my neck with a distressed look on his face. The warm temperature from his palms to the wound was really relaxing my muscles and bones, and promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. I squinted my eyes in comfort. As for the traitor, I had already thrown it aside. In addition, judging from Mou Shou's reaction just now, he should not have known anything. That's all. Besides, even if his reactions were all fake, this guy's acting skills are probably close to Oscars! Being deceived by a handsome man who can win the little golden man, what else do I have to regret?
So he simply threw himself into Mou Shou's arms, and with tears and snot he recounted the ten evil deeds of the big fox, and he almost slapped his thigh and howled: Xiao Shou, you have to make the decision for me... and so on.
Mou Shou's face turned black and white for a while, and then it went back and forth for several rounds. Finally, he said something that made me vomit blood: "I believe... the Fourth Prince must have a compelling reason to do this."
I--￥%%￥'s--! !
I broke free from his embrace and pointed at Moushou's nose with trembling hands: "Tell me... tell me the truth... why do you protect him so much? Why?!"
This blind bastard can also win the Oscar?! No wonder people say that the bribery of Oscars has become more and more serious in recent years...
Why did Xiao Shou defend the big fox so much? The dead kid had a very high self-esteem, and he was born in a noble family. He was usually very arrogant to everyone, so why was he so respectful to the big fox? What was the relationship between the two of them? Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind, and my tone of voice became relaxed.
"Um... Shou'er, based on our friendship over the years (when?), just tell the truth to Sister Minmin. Actually... you are that guy's illegitimate child, right? Right?"
Big Fox: “…”
"Minmin..." Mou Shou said in a voice that suppressed his anger.
"Isn't it? Then... could it be that... you had an affair with him before?"
Big Fox: “…”
"Minmin--!" Mou Shou exploded! He grabbed my arm and dragged me into the yard, "Come here!"
I only felt it when I left the house. After all, it was late at night and even though it was early summer, it was still a bit chilly.
I stood huddled behind Moushou, arms folded. Moushou was clearly dressed in the same thin clothes, but he stood proudly in the night wind, not moving an inch.
Just like all the scenes that should appear at this time, a certain subject stood in a standard position on the stage with his hands behind his back, and remained silent for a long time with a gloomy face, to show that the actor was having a fierce ideological struggle...
I was just daydreaming when Mou Shou suddenly spoke in a low voice.
"Minmin, actually... His Majesty the Fourth Prince is my master."
At that moment, my impure mind was racing through words like master and servant! Danmei! ! Forbidden! ! ! SM! ! ! and so on...
“He, he is your master…” Master, master, master, master, master, master… (The ancient echo in Minmin’s heart)
"The Fourth Prince is the master of our Xiao family." Mou Shou walked slowly along the path in the courtyard with his hands behind his back. "Originally, I thought that my identity would cause you trouble, so I didn't want to tell you. Now that the Fourth Prince has come to see you in person, there is no point in hiding it from you..."
Have a secret to listen to? Got it!
The fifth law of time travel: All secrets are plot breakthroughs!
I followed him closely and stepped on the ants.
"The Xiao family had been a prominent family in the Later Ming Dynasty until the previous dynasty, because our ancestors had helped the First Emperor to found the country and were named the hereditary generals who protected the country and controlled one-third of the military power in the Later Ming Dynasty. The descendants of the Xiao family have received military education since childhood, and have shed their blood on the battlefield and defended the country with loyalty. Unfortunately, when the previous dynasty's Emperor Fu was in power, a villain made false accusations and instigated the emperor to weaken the power of our family. Later, when my father led troops to the northwest to suppress the rebellion of the Three Bone Clan, the spies planted by the emperor in the army colluded with the enemy and rebelled, and the army stationed in the northeast was transferred to strangle my father in one fell swoop!
When the entire Xiao family army was in dire straits, the Fourth Prince, who was still a prince at the time, first executed the emperor and then reported to the emperor for help to dispatch 100,000 soldiers from the southwest to rescue my father. Later, the Fourth Prince took the charge of disobeying the emperor's order and knelt outside the Renhe Hall for two days and two nights. He appealed to the emperor's emotions and reason, and finally persuaded the emperor to let the Xiao family go. Later, he gradually took in the remnants of the Xiao family and appeased and reused them.
The Fourth Prince has been very kind to our Xiao family! My father swore an oath of blood to establish a precept that from now on, the Fourth Prince will be the only master of our Xiao family, and he will be loyal to us forever until death.
Five years ago, Emperor Fu passed away without appointing a crown prince, and many princes fought for the throne. The Second Prince and the Fourth Prince were equally powerful. The Second Prince had a large army in his hands, but the Fourth Prince had the Xiao family army and the assistance of his younger brother, the Sixth Prince. The Fourth Prince has always been famous for his virtue and has the support of the people. Originally, the situation was absolutely favorable to our side, but no one expected that in the last crucial battle, the Sixth Prince would defect, and the Fourth Prince would be caught off guard. Our side was seriously injured and we have been losing ground since then. For the sake of the people of the world, the Fourth Prince asked for peace with the Second Prince. In the end, the Second Prince became the emperor, that is, Emperor Xi. The first thing Emperor Xi did when he ascended the throne was to execute the entire Xiao family! The Fourth Prince was sent to the southwestern border and was given the title of a king in name only...but..."
Mou Shou suddenly turned around and looked at me with burning eyes.
"This is not the end! Now I have found the Fourth Prince. After all these years of easing tension, our strength has recovered. It will be soon! In five years, no, within three years! I can assist the Fourth Prince in regaining the throne! To avenge our Xiao family and bring honor to our family! Minmin, didn't you once say that you believed I could accomplish something great? Assisting the Fourth Prince is my great cause! It is the greatest meaning of my life in this world! Therefore, no matter what the Fourth Prince does, he is the only master of our Xiao family! The only person I, Xiao Shou, am loyal to! Minmin, do you understand?"
"I understand..." Yes, I understand, I understand it clearly.
It's just that your Xiao family's achievements are so great that they make the big fox's father want to kill you, but for some reason, the big fox helped you when you were in dire straits. After all this trouble, you became discouraged with the big fox's father and turned to the big fox's warm embrace.
Later, the old emperor died, and the big fox and his brothers began to fight each other. Due to the rebellion of the fox's younger brother, the one-on-one fight turned into a group fight, and the big fox lost.
The big fox is a rebel among his brothers, and he won't fight to the death if he loses. Why do you, the Xiao family, a bunch of outsiders, have to meddle in it? Look, the new emperor took your Xiao family as a punching bag as soon as he took office! The real mastermind behind the scenes, the big fox, is still alive and kicking! Now that he has experienced a rebellion and healed his old injuries, he has become more shameless and despicable, ready to continue the fight with the emperor. You, on the other hand, immediately get close to the big fox! I think you are a birthday star who wants to hang yourself - you think your life is too long!
Xiao Shou, Xiao Shou! You are a typical example of a generation that has been poisoned by feudal blind loyalty education!
"I just contacted the Fourth Prince's people the day before yesterday. Today, I left Cangchunlou and wanted to take you to join the Fourth Prince, but I didn't expect to see this situation as soon as I arrived. I think there must be a reason for this. Let me discuss it with His Highness and then make a decision, okay? Minmin, you can stay here with peace of mind first. As for your two sisters, I will send someone to take good care of them..."
"I don't want it!" How can I feel at ease living in the house of a guy who is ready to pack me up and send me away at any time?
"Xiao Shou, if your master insists on packing me up and giving me away, I just don't want to. Will you help me or him?"
"Minmin, why are you so willful?!"
"How is this willful? Protecting yourself is willful?! Don't say that your master has nothing to do with me. Even if he is my master, he can't force me to do something I don't want to do!"
"Minmin!" Xiao Shou showed a horrified expression. Yes, yes, probably no one had ever instilled such rebellious ideas in him?
"Xiao Shou, you are a man, why do you have to obey others? He is the master you pledged allegiance to in your previous life, and I am your personal friend! Are you going to sacrifice me for his cause?"
"Minmin! His Highness would never ask you to do something so dangerous! Don't make a fuss!"
"Even if he won't do that now, even if I'm making a fuss, I just ask you, if your master wants to hurt me one day, will you help me or him?" I nervously grabbed his sleeve.
Big Fox is an ambitious man. If what Xiao Shou said is true, then we can't stay with him, because the road to the throne is paved with blood, flesh and bones. If Big Fox is an incompetent politician, he will lose in the end. Staying with him is a dead end. If Big Fox is a competent politician, he will sacrifice the most appropriate person at the most appropriate time. Who can guarantee that it won't be you and me? The emperor of the previous dynasty would think that your Xiao family is too powerful. Now that you, Xiao Shou, have protected the emperor and seized the throne, won't Big Fox abandon you after the world is settled?
So, Xiao Shou, please, don't choose him.
"Minmin... I think you have some misunderstandings about the Fourth Prince. Although the Fourth Prince is aloof, that's because of his childhood... After spending more time with him, you will naturally appreciate his virtues..."
"Xiao Shou..." Hearing his tone, the expectations in my eyes quickly sank along with my heart... Is it still impossible? ... How can the thoughts that have been naturally instilled into my mind like eating and sleeping since childhood be changed by just a few words from me? There are so many novels about time travel, and everyone is immersed in lingering love. Who still remembers this real and unignorable ideological gap of thousands of years? We don't understand the choice of Yue Fei and Yuan Chonghuan, but we don't know that it was the most natural choice of that era. Returning to the capital will result in death, and marching north will benefit tens of thousands of people, but the order was given by the emperor - his master.
The people of the world. Their lives. The lords of our ancestors.
Which is more important? Which is less important?
How could I be so arrogant as to put myself on the scale?
My eyes darkened, my hands loosened dejectedly, and I waved tiredly.
"Forget it, just pretend I never asked..."
…………
The night wind is really cool.
Xiao Shou stood there silently for a long time...
…………
The big fox didn't allow me to meet Qingqing and Xiaotao. He threw me into a small room without even a window, and then went to have a night talk with a certain Shou. I guess he was seizing every opportunity to brainwash me...
The big fox also sent a guard to keep a close watch on me. What made me even more angry was that the guard was none other than the man in black who had arrested me. I mistook him for the cold-faced handsome man from Zhiyuan. He had a cold face, a cold heart, and a cold mouth. He answered zero out of ten questions and zero out of a hundred questions. We pestered him all night, but to no avail.
In the end, apart from knowing that the big fox called him Guard Yang, he knew nothing about him.
I thought the fox was just joking when he said he would accompany me to the temple fair, but he had me thrown onto the carriage with my blanket early this morning! He whipped the horse to the market before I even opened my eyes...Brother, are you going to the temple fair? Are you getting up early to buy train tickets? It must be the peak !
Now this superior carriage has entered Qiuye City and is heading towards the Tianzu Temple in the back city.
After finishing a book, the big fox sat up straight, stretched his arms and legs, and began to watch me chew pine nuts with interest.
"What are you looking at?" I stared at him warily, gathered the seeds I had peeled with great effort, and protected them with my hands. "I...I won't give them to you. Peel them yourself if you want to eat them!"
The big fox was stunned for a moment.
The driver's regular whipping sound and Guard Yang's even and long breathing both paused for a moment.
The big fox laughed dangerously.
"What if... I insist on eating what you peel?"
This bastard!!
In an instant, I quickly weighed the strength of both sides! Finally, I let go of the hand protecting Songzi and said in a very unpromising way:
"Then...then just eat it."
The big fox was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing! He laughed harder and harder, which made me feel that his laughter was not just because of me, but contained many things I didn't know, perhaps things that had been accumulated for a long time...
He laughed non-stop, laughing so hard that even the guards outside the carriage couldn't help but lean in to check. I was really worried that he would faint from laughing... His pale face turned red from laughing, and the veins on his neck stood up. I couldn't explain why, but I suddenly felt a little sorry for him. I hesitantly poured a cup of tea and handed it to him...
"Hey... drink some water, don't laugh so hard..."
But he suddenly grabbed my wrist and pulled me over, holding me in his arms. I struggled and was pinned down. The big fox stopped laughing, looked at me carefully for a long time, and sighed: "Minmin, you are such a treasure."
Then he loosened his embrace, but pulled my wrist, pressing his palm on my artery.
"However, if I find out next time that you said something to Xiao Shou about who to help and who not to help, I won't be able to keep your precious little tongue."
His fingers skimmed across my lips.
Ice cold!
