Chapter 145 The Mystery of Xiao Jingxuan’s Life
Hearing the word divorce, Jamel Xiao was so frightened that his legs went limp. He said in a panic, “No divorce, I definitely won’t divorce!”
He rushed over and hugged Ye Tang, burying his head in her neck and shoulders: "My wife, you can't say such things casually. We want to grow old together."
Ye Tang pushed him away: "Tonight is the first assassination. How many assassinations will there be in the future? If you can dodge it once, can you dodge it every time? Xiao Jingxuan, don't tell me that you didn't deliberately attract the assassin tonight?"
Xiao Jingxuan said hurriedly: "I led them here, but I also had my own reasons. I did this to find out the man behind the murder of my parents. I want to expose his true colors and eliminate him completely."
"Even if I don't lure them here, they will come here sooner or later. In this case, I might as well take the initiative to attack."
Xiao Jingxuan held Ye Tang's hand and said, "I originally wanted to bear it myself. I didn't want to implicate you, my father-in-law, and Ping An. But you are my wife, and you have that kind of relationship with the Protector of the Country. Sooner or later, you will come into contact with those people in the capital, and then there will be a lot of troubles... You who don't know anything will be very passive when facing those troubles. Instead of this, I might as well tell you some things early so that you can have an idea in your mind."
He lifted a chair and sat next to Ye Tang, his tone unusually serious: "You also heard just now that the man in black said that I was the son of King Pingshan. Do you know who King Pingshan is?"
Ye Tang shook his head: "I don't know."
She had no idea how many princes there were in the Yuan Dynasty. How could she, a commoner at the bottom of society and thousands of miles away from the capital, know those things?
Xiao Jingxuan said, "The Prince of Pingshan is the sworn brother of the current emperor. When Emperor Yuanwu was conquering the world, he was accompanied by great generals such as the Duke of Protecting the Country, as well as two civil and military generals. The civil general was named Gao Yi and the military general was named Nangong Yan. The two of them were sworn brothers with Emperor Yuanwu, who unified the countries and put an end to the war. After the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Yuanwu was crowned emperor, and Gao Yi was made prime minister and Nangong Yan was made the Prince of Pingshan. Less than half a year after the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, the Prince of Pingshan married Emperor Yuanwu's only sister, Princess Zhaoyang."
"The Yuan Dynasty seemed stable on the surface, but in reality, there were constant secret struggles. The remnants of the defeated seven kingdoms had been ready to make a comeback and overthrow the Yuan Dynasty. For the stability of the Yuan Dynasty, Prince Pingshan guarded the border, and Princess Zhaoyang followed him without fear of hardship. The couple was invincible on the battlefield and suppressed all enemies, allowing the Yuan Dynasty to breathe and prosper. The people's lives became better and better, and the army became stronger and stronger."
"Over the past ten years, the King of Pingshan and his wife have experienced countless battles. When they saw victory in sight, they could return to the court and enjoy peace. However, in the last battle, they were ambushed. The couple, along with 50,000 soldiers, all died in Yulong Mountain."
Ye Tang frowned: "They are all dead, then how were you born?"
Xiao Jingxuan smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know either. My father told me a small part of these things, and my master told me most of them. When they told me these things, I was less than ten years old. My father told me that a middle-aged man handed me over to my father. That man was one of King Pingshan's confidants. He told my father that King Pingshan and his wife died unjustly, and someone was hunting me. He couldn't reveal my identity, so he asked my father to take me to a safe place and live an ordinary life in hiding. My father had received the favor of King Pingshan, so he took the risk to adopt me. He couldn't bear me to be wronged in the clan, so he said that I was his own son, so that everyone in the clan respected and spoiled me."
"After I knew my life experience, I have been improving myself, wanting to become stronger and find out the truth about my parents' death in battle. My master came to me at this time and taught me a lot. Later, it was old man Hong..."
Speaking of old man Hong, he was a little speechless. The old man wanted to take him in as a disciple in order to fight with his master. Later, after knowing his abilities, he became unreasonable and annoying. But he did have some abilities, and he learned a lot from his torture.
After Xiao Jingxuan opened the topic, he couldn't stop and spoke out everything that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time. He had wanted to tell Ye Tang his story for a long time, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity and was afraid of scaring people away. After all, his life experience was very troublesome.
"Over the years, with the help of my master, I have contacted many of my father's former subordinates and established my own power. It has been basically confirmed that my parents died in battle because someone leaked the secrets of our army, and that person might be Gao Yi, but I haven't found evidence yet. In addition, my uncle doesn't know of my existence, and I haven't looked for him yet. I can't be sure whether he was involved in the incident back then. The heart of the emperor is hard to predict."
As Ye Tang listened, he suddenly thought of a question: "The Emperor is your uncle, so isn't Prince Xian your cousin?"
Ye Tang punched Jamel Xiao in the chest: “You told me he was your sworn brother, you liar!”
She pushed Jamel Xiao to the ground and beat him up: "If you dare to lie to me again, I won't forgive you."
Jamel Xiao covered his face and climbed up: "My lady, don't hit people in the face. If you hit them ugly, you will find it hard to swallow."
Ye Tang laughed: "I can find a new husband who is more beautiful than you."
Jamel Xiao: "...There is no more beautiful man in the world than me!"
Ye Tang sneered: "Narcissism."
Jamel Xiao asked cautiously: “My lady, will you leave me?”
Ye Tang asked back: "Why should I leave you?"
Jamel Xiao lowered his head: “I’m a troublesome person.”
Ye Tang: "There are many people who are more troublesome than you."
She grabbed Jamel Xiao's collar and said, "I've eaten you up completely, do you still want to leave me?"
Jamel Xiao felt wronged: "Then you said you wanted to replace me and divorce me?"
Ye Tang let him go: "I'm really mad at you. You didn't even tell us in advance about such a dangerous thing as attracting assassins. If I had less ability, I would be scared to death!"
"Also, what are these assassins talking about Prince Duan? What is the situation of Prince Duan? Explain it to me clearly."
“Xiao Jamel Xiao, you said you wanted to live a good life with me, so you must solve all these troubles.”
Ye Tang was very upset. After she was reborn, she initially planned to get rid of Xiao Zhong's family and live a good life with her father and brother, using the seed space to grow all the crops she liked, eat and drink well, and live a free and easy life.
As a result, troubles came one after another before the crops were even grown.
First it was his father’s life experience, and now it’s Jamel Xiao’s life experience. It turns out that they both have life experiences, just like the protagonist in a novel.
Ye Tang held his forehead with his hand.
She just wants to farm well, why is it so difficult!
“Xiao Jamel, if you dare to betray me in the future, I will chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs!”
"I swear!" Xiao Jingxuan raised his hand and swore.
Ye Tang slapped him and said, "Don't swear to me. I hate oaths the most. You must prove yourself with actual actions instead of just making empty promises."
"Also, don't tell my father and Ping An about your affairs for now. It's not good for too many people to know. We can talk about it later when we go to the capital."
"By the way, does your uncle really not know you exist?"
"do not know."
Late at night, in the capital, in the imperial palace, in the imperial study.
The old but vigorous Emperor Yuanwu looked at the portrait in his hand, tears streaming down his face, "Resemble him, so much so, his eyebrows and eyes are just like my Zhaoyang, his nose and face shape are even more like that lazy guy Nangong Yan, he is my little nephew, woo woo woo, I have a nephew now!"
"Wait, Old Eight is in Tianan Prefecture, and my little nephew is also in Tianan Prefecture. It was Old Eight who volunteered to go to Tianan Prefecture. Could it be that... this little bastard dared to hide it from me, his father!"
