Helian Jing's body trembled slightly. He remembered clearly that the day he sent out his troops was the day Princess Zhuo Hua would marry into the Western Xia for exactly three years. She had only married for three years, yet Princess Zhuo Hua's child was already two years and five months old …
In other words, Princess Zhuo Hua gave birth to this child in seven months? Had she really been two months pregnant when she got married?
In these past few years, it was not that he did not want to care about Princess Zhuo Hua's life, it was just that he did not dare to understand it in detail.
However, he knew that Princess Zhuo Hua had gotten married and had children, but he did not know that this child would actually …
"Princess Zhuo Hua really dares to say it!" She was clearly shocked and in pain, but Helian Jing still sneered, "Married to a prince of Western Xia, yet you dare to say that you're carrying another person's child?"
Princess Zhuo Hua lowered her eyes. "Mu Yuncang knows everything."
Helian Jing was stunned once again. Mu Yuncang actually … Know everything?
Time seemed to have stopped.
It was as if the sun and the moon had stopped spinning, the wind had stopped blowing, and the heart had stopped beating.
After a long while, Helian Jing finally regained his senses.
He closed his eyes tightly, gritted his teeth and closed them. Then, he slowly opened them.
The child in front of him smiled at him with innocent eyes.
He actually looked at him and smiled.
"Do you know who I am?" he asked, looking coldly at the child.
Nian’er's meaty face revealed a pure and sincere smile. "You are, uncle!"
Helian Jing was speechless.
"A boy?" he asked coldly. This was obviously asking Princess Zhuo Hua.
Princess Zhuo Hua nodded lightly, "Yes."
"Mu Yunxin?"
"Yes, Mu Yunhuang treats him as if he were her own."
Helian Jing clenched his teeth again, "What a pity!"
"What's a pity?"
"Unfortunately, even if your Royal Father were to bring out this child, I will not retreat!" Helian Jing said one word after another, as cold as ice.
Princess Zhuo Hua was startled, and her eyes couldn't help but turn slightly red. "As expected, in your heart, I'm nothing, and children are even less important."
"You're wrong!" Helian Jing turned around coldly, "From today onwards, I will defeat the Dongluo even more so, and bring back my wife and children!"
"Helian Jing!" Princess Zhuo Hua shouted angrily at Helian Jing's back, "If you have the ability, then why didn't you snatch me away from Xi Xia's hands? You are hurting my parents and people right now, what kind of ability do you have? "
Helian Jing immediately halted his steps, "The reason I didn't touch Western Xia at that time, was because I thought you didn't care about me! Now that I understand your thoughts, I cannot remain indifferent! "
Princess Zhuo Hua bit her lips, "If you truly understand my intentions, then you should stop the war and restore peace to the people of both countries, and restore peace to the entire Yangqiu Continent!"
Helian Jing immediately became silent!
Time stopped once again.
Even the child in his arms had stopped moving.
He quietly looked at his own mother, his gaze filled with unease and bewilderment. Suddenly, Nian’er let out a "wow" and began to cry loudly.
This childish crying sound shocked the Eastern Barbarian soldiers in front of the main gate to the point that they were dumbfounded and could not help but be shocked to the core!
Outside of the Kang City, Helian Jing silently looked down at the sleeping Nian’er in his arms. This was only his first time meeting with Nian’er. Just now, when he extended his hand hesitantly, Nian’er actually silently rushed over and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Hesitatingly, he put his arm around the small, fleshy figure. It felt so strange, yet so familiar.
Strangely, he had never held a child like this before.
He didn't even know how to hold a child — how to hold it?
What he was familiar with was that just like that, he had actually self-empty-handed. He hugged Nian’er with one hand and held Nian’er's back with the other, allowing Nian’er to use the most comfortable method to sit on his arm.
Why did this happen?
Was this the so-called deep love between the flesh and blood?
Was this the so-called blood relation?
Nian’er smiled sweetly at him as he spoke a bunch of childish words that he did not understand. made him dizzy and couldn't help but ask Princess Zhuo Hua: "What is he saying?"
Princess Zhuo Hua forced herself not to laugh, and gently caressed Nian’er's head with a doting look in her eyes, "Actually, I don't really understand what he is saying either. Except for a few simple terms, he has yet to make his meaning clear. "
"Is that so …" He looked at Nian’er dizzily, his mind a blank.
"But he would only squeak continuously when he's happy." Princess Zhuo Hua added.
"When you are happy? "Could it be that he's unhappy too?"
"Of course. When I'm not around, he's depressed and won't talk or talk to anyone. "
Helian Jing clenched his teeth, this kind of personality, was somewhat similar to his.
No, this child's appearance was similar to his! Even though her appearance was similar to Princess Zhuo Hua, it seemed to have even more of his charm …
Helian Jing lightly patted Nian’er's back. Nian’er looked at him with his big eyes that were like grapes and actually silently leaned on his shoulder. He let out a small voice that sounded joyous: "Yiya, yiya …"
It was late at night.
The wind was blowing. It was really cold.
Helian Jing pulled up his cape and wrapped it around Nian’er's fleshy body. Nian’er stomped his legs, causing it to creak. After that, he slowly stopped moving and actually fell asleep while leaning on Helian Jing's chest.
He was actually willing to fall asleep in his arms …
Helian Jing could not help but feel a lump in his throat. So blood was thicker than water, this was the first time meeting, and this child was actually willing to peacefully fall asleep in his arms …
Princess Zhuo Hua looked at Helian Jing and silently reached out her hand: "Let me hug him."
Helian Jing was quiet for a moment, then silently returned the Nian’er back to Princess Zhuo Hua.
The little meaty person reluctantly opened his eyes in Princess Zhuo Hua's embrace, and upon realizing that the one hugging him was Princess Zhuo Hua, he unwillingly wriggled his eyes, then powerlessly drooped his eyelids, her little snores sounding really sweet.
Princess Zhuo Hua turned around and looked at the Kang City behind her, sighing: "You probably don't remember what happened in the Kang City anymore, right?"
Helian Jing remained silent.
"Three years ago, we were at the Kang City …"
"I remember." Helian Jing coldly cut Princess Zhuo Hua off.
Princess Zhuo Hua choked. She glanced at Helian Jing and her eyes slowly turned red. She silently turned her head, avoiding Helian Jing's gaze, and looked at the Kang City in front of her, and started to shed tears.
Helian Jing glanced at Princess Zhuo Hua, but continued, "Three years ago, you wanted to follow me and elope back to the Eastern Barbarian, but in the end, you were caught up by Geng Yichun in the Kang City."
Princess Zhuo Hua stared blankly into space. She thought that he had interrupted her because she didn't want to talk about the past. Who knew that he would take the initiative to talk about the past? She asked softly, "Do you know why I promised Geng Yichun to return to the Ji City with him?"
Helian Jing said coldly, "Has it not been Geng Yichun who had feelings and reason for you?"
"No." Princess Zhuo Hua shook her head and said mournfully, "With Geng Yichun's temper, he wouldn't even bother to reason with me."
Helian Jing frowned, and his tone became stern: "He used my safety to force you?"
Princess Zhuo Hua shook her head, "Of course not. In terms of riding and archery, he is no match for you. "
Helian Jing coldly snorted.
"He said that if I don't agree to the marriage, there will be a tough battle in the Dongluo right now. At that time, the chaos in the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain had just been pacified by the Dongluo, so if they were to send troops to deal with the Western Summer, the odds of winning would naturally not be high. "
"So it was for your country and your people that you abandoned our relationship!" Helian Jing could not help but sneer, "As expected, your country and people are more important!"
Princess Zhuo Hua laughed bitterly: "Otherwise, what should I do? Could it be that they want to see my Dongluo citizens suffer the pain of being cut by swords again? Are we going to see the common people burned to ashes again? "
Helian Jing said coldly, "You are a great man, the current me is even more despicable and shameless!"
"You don't know." Princess Zhuo Hua looked at Helian Jing, and gave a mournful smile, "I also want to protect your citizens, so that they can live in peace and live happily, and avoid the hardships of being attacked by weapons."
Helian Jing could not help but be slightly startled. Raising her eyes to look at Princess Zhuo Hua, Zhuo Hua looked at him. He smiled, but there were also tears in her eyes.
Helian Jing gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with deep pain!
So it turned out that her realm was much higher than his, and what he thought of was only her private relationship with him, as well as his personal hatred towards Dongluo, while what she thought of was the peace of the citizens of two nations!
Zhuo Hua, Zhuo Hua!
Princess Zhuo Hua looked at Kang City in silence. This city, with its green bricks and stone pedestals, was a magnificent, dignified and stable small city.
The most important thing was that there were some memories related to her, some very important memories related to Helian Jing.
Back then, the scene of her leaving with Helian Jing was still fresh in her mind:
"Hey, hey, Helian Jing, wait for me!" She galloped after him, panting.
He pulled on the reins in annoyance, frowned at her who had stopped beside him, and coldly asked, "Why are you chasing me?"
"I said I want to marry you!" She cocked her head at him mischievously. "So, of course, I'm coming home with you!"
He once again frowned: "You are a princess of a great nation, and have endless amounts of wealth and wealth. But my small Eastern Barbarian, my land is barren, and is not a place you should go!"
"But I am willing!" "No matter how poor Eastern Barbarian it is, I am willing to work with you to manage it, build it, and make it more beautiful, rich, and powerful!"
"It's easy to say!" He did not change his usual icy attitude towards her. "But I advise the princess not to be so naive!"
"But I've already left five cities, are you still going to chase me back?" "I've given up my country to follow in your footsteps, and you're really not willing to take me in?"
"Let's go back!" Eastern Barbarian is not a place you should go! " Helian Jing said, and raised his whip again.
She was anxious.
He turned his head and looked around; there really was nothing that could keep him. However, beside his feet was a river. That river was very deep, and if she jumped into it, although she wouldn't be smashed into pieces, she was afraid that her arms and legs would be broken as well.
A thought flashed through her mind, and she shouted out: "Helian Jing, if you really don't accept me, I will jump down from here!"
He reined in his horse, but did not look back. " I wouldn't take such a trick seriously. " he said quietly.
She was really anxious! Being forced into a corner, both his feet slipped and he jumped up from his horse: "Then I'll prove it to you, Helian Jing!"
Her voice, following her body, leapt down the river!
At that moment, her heart was filled with despair. Towards her pursuit, Helian Jing had always rejected her and his attitude had never changed, so he would rather watch her fall into the river than die so he wouldn't save her, right?
However, just as she closed her eyes in despair, she felt a shadow flash by. She was firmly held by the waist, her falling body stopping halfway up the mountain.
She opened her eyes in shock, only to see Helian Jing's face with deep facial features.
"You want to die?!" His eyes were full of anger, but he clearly cared a lot about it.
She looked at him blankly. "You …" Saved me? "
He held her in his arms and leapt to the ground, throwing her aside. "Do you want to die again?"
She held back her laughter and tears as she embraced his waist from behind. "Helian Jing, you don't want me to die, do you? Actually, you do care about me, don't you? "
Finally, Helian Jing did not have any more words to reject his. His body slightly stiffened, he sighed, and said: "You will regret it."
"No, I don't regret it!" I like you and will never regret it! "
