Chapter 189 Kill
"You scared him away. He's still young and probably can't understand what you're saying."
Xiao Zhengdu commented like a parent, "It seems that he still hasn't accepted the fact that he has no talent."
Lou Xiao shrugged, "This is how it is at this age. I didn't mean to tell him."
As for who it will be passed to and whether they can understand it, it all depends on God's will.
Xiao Zhengdu laughed at himself, "In fact, I don't understand the so-called state of mind. I have practiced martial arts for many years, but I can't last long in the arena."
"I think you're in a good mood." Lou Xiao praised him rarely, which made Xiao Zhengdu prick up his ears and listen carefully.
"It's just that your focus is not on martial arts but somewhere else. But you don't need to learn it very well. After all, you don't need someone to protect you."
Lou Xiao half-knelt down and crushed the cake in his hand to feed the koi. "If my master could have met you back then, he might have captured you and made you my junior apprentice brother."
None of them took it seriously. He grew up in the imperial palace. No matter how bold his master was or how unpopular Xiao Zhengdu was, they would never allow anyone to kidnap the heir to the throne.
Xiao Zhengdu was curious about the master she mentioned. Considering what she said about training martial arts under such harsh conditions, how could he know Xiao Zhengze?
He knew that the emperor's sister had sent the frail Xiao Zhengze to a place for protection for safety reasons.
When he took her back later, the word "Xiao Xiao" that Xiao Zhengze kept saying made him think she was a country girl from somewhere.
He was curious about her past, whether it was the same as he imagined, and whether she had an incomparable relationship with Xiao Zhengze.
But how to ask?
Xiao Zhengdu thought about it again and again but still didn't know how to start. Lou Xiao lowered her head and watched the fish fighting for food, as if she knew the expression on his face.
"What are you thinking about? Do you really want to be my junior brother?"
Xiao Zhengdu looked away, "You are joking. Even if the master who trained you met me, he would not like me."
Lou Xiao raised her head and looked him over from head to toe. "I see that you have good physical fitness, and you must have been pretty good when you were a kid."
Her gaze was as real as substance, causing Xiao Zhengdu to tense his muscles nervously.
And she looked at the goldfish in the water, which made him relax.
"When I was young...it wasn't like this."
Lou Xiao looked at his hair. "I know that mixed-race children's foreign blood will be particularly obvious when they are young, and it will change when they grow up. They must be very different from you now."
Xiao Zhengdu threw the fruit core in his hand into the water to scare away the goldfish, "Yes and no.
When I was young, I would beat people in the palace, and even... kill people. My sister said that I had a violent temper, and if I refused to obey her, she would make me write on an empty stomach. "
The fish was scared away, and Lou Xiao sat back down.
She looked a little interested and teased, "You can kill people? Didn't His Majesty beat you?"
Xiao Zhengdu tilted his head, "If you don't ask, how could I kill someone?"
The two looked at each other for a long time before Lou Xiao said, "I've never been naive enough to think that people who have reached this position have clean hands."
But if he killed an innocent person, she might change her mind about him.
Xiao Zhengdu was silent for a moment, and for the first time he talked about the past that he could not bear to look back on, "You dare to have dirty thoughts towards me, and kill her. I never think I am wrong."
That was before he met the imperial sister. Not only was he hungry and cold, he also had to deal with servants who flattered the powerful and bullied the weak and physically assaulted him.
Who would take him seriously? The previous emperor had many descendants, what could a mixed-blood like him achieve?
The little mixed-haired animal, who was still young at that time, cut the hand that dared to reach out to him with broken porcelain in the messy room.
The child who had no one to rely on was hostile to everything and had to resist. The result was that after the past was deliberately covered up, he was frightened and had a high fever.
However, God did not take his life.
After three days of high fever, Xiao Zhengdu woke up and went to the servants' room to grab food despite being hungry.
Every servant who tried to stop him was bitten and beaten by him like a mad dog. When he was in the most miserable state,
He met Xiao Zhaocheng, who was still King Cheng.
Perhaps it was because he was used to seeing his brother's sickness and weakness, and suddenly saw such a tenacious life,
King Cheng took Xiao Zhengdu, who was like a mad dog among the weeds, back.
"I have told you all my greatest secrets, Lou Xiao, what about you?"
Would you like to share your past with me?
Lou Xiao thought about it and felt that there was nothing much to say about her past.
Xiao Zhengdu said it was his first time killing someone, so she agreed.
So while Xiao Zhengdu was listening attentively, she also talked about the past.
"One day, the master didn't say anything, but just asked me to go to a dilapidated temple...
I thought he was waiting for me there, but it turned out to be a group of robbers dividing the loot."
She was still young at that time, short in stature and with a childish face.
"They divided the silver, the jewels, the clothes, and the meat from the pot."
There was a chill in her eyes as she talked about it. "They were very happy to see me and said they wanted to share a bowl of broth with me. Although I realized something was wrong, I was hungry, so I took it. The meat..."
Lou Xiao didn't elaborate, only giving an ending, "I buried it."
Xiao Zhengdu was stunned for a moment, but then he understood, "...In a year other than famine, it turns out..."
The most surprising thing is that after this happened, she can still eat meat after all these years.
"The so-called cannibalism is only used in times of famine, but there are always people who lose their humanity. Don't blame me for being cruel if you do such beastly things."
She also said proudly, "Although I was afraid, I was not frightened to the point of having a fever. My master said that I was acting on behalf of heaven, and others would thank me if they knew about it."
In fact, it was also telling Xiao Zhengdu in disguise that what he did at the beginning was actually understandable.
Xiao Zhengdu raised the corner of his mouth and asked, "Does your majesty know?"
"Then does His Majesty know about your affairs?" Lou Xiao asked back, and the two of them laughed knowingly.
He saw that she was still stuffing food into her mouth. Even after seeing such a scene, her appetite had never decreased.
"I am not as good as you." Xiao Zhengdu said sincerely, "I will keep the secret and not let Your Majesty know."
Lou Xiao glanced at him and thought to herself that she was not afraid.
But as for the matter of killing, she had experienced much more serious things later.
For example, I once entered an uncontrollable state and got lost in the killing.
It was like she almost mistook herself for a plant. For a while, she even thought she was just a puppet.
It is easy to start a fight, but it is difficult to withdraw once you have devoted yourself to it.
This is also something she must learn in Yunwu Mountain.
With the expansion of military power, it is easy to become arrogant and look down on everything in the world, including life.
People standing on the top of the mountain will mistakenly think that they are the masters of the world. They are obsessed with the feeling of controlling everything and refuse to admit that they are just an insignificant member of the world.
In fact, she is just an ordinary person.
He is an ordinary person who can lie under the grape trellis in a country yard and live a carefree life.
