The Protagonist’s Halo

Chapter 83: The spy princess

Situ Huairuo is a legend who participated in ending the troubled times and opening up the great Chu.

His deeds are no less than that of the founding emperor of Da Chu, and his deeds have also been recited over and over again.

He once drove a thousand troops into a large camp alone to save one person; he once slammed his bow and shot the enemy general when he was in danger when the soldiers approached the city.

He also used to stir up the situation in order to plan the world, and used the technique of vertical and horizontal integration.

Just like this, an unparalleled scholar, a man of outstanding elegance, in the third year after the founding of the Great Chu, he put aside all his prestige and glory and chose to convert to Buddhism. The Empress Chu went there in person, but couldn't persuade him, and even failed to meet him.

Qin Jia, who was already the Queen of Chu, felt guilty, it was she who had let Situ Huairuo betray. However, she forgot that she hadn't seen him for a year before Situ escaped into the empty door.

That year, Situ Huairuo went to many places, Daxing, the former Bei Yin and Nan Liang.

Just to seek an answer.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, the ministers advised his Majesty to accept the harem, and Qin Jia was frustrated and drunk because of this. But accidentally let Situ Huairuo discover her secret, it turns out that she is the soul of another world.

That's why she understands so much knowledge that shouldn't exist in this world, instead of what Situ always thought she had a mysterious master.

Qin Jia saved him well at the beginning, but it was not her who really pulled him back from life and death, but someone else.

Dimly repressed, what he was holding tightly was the slender wrist of another woman, which made her unable to break free, and he lost consciousness again and plunged into the darkness.

This fact was beyond Situ Huairuo's expectation, and he needed time to investigate the truth.

If it weren't for Qin Jia, who would it be? Situ Huairuo, who was indifferent even in the face of a thousand army, was a little absurd in his heart at this time.

Why don't you come to look for him, is it so kind and hopeless?

He is Situ Huairuo, the famous Situ Huairuo who has moved the world and is at your fingertips.

Situ didn’t tell anyone about this. This was originally a secret he hid in his heart. In the past, he considered Qin Jia’s boudoir and didn’t want to miss her because he had a little intimate relationship. In Qin Jia and Yan Shu He didn't even mention it after he was in love with each other, and only now I found out that he had been looking for the wrong person all the time.

He investigated for a long time, and many traces of this matter have disappeared in the past many years. What surprised him even more is that someone deliberately erased it. Situ Huairuo was so clever, he took a different approach, to find out who would appear there at that time, and to erase all traces after he rescued him.

It was still like looking for a needle in a haystack, until he remembered a secret that had been tortured from Beiyin's secret agent, which was once one of the secret places they were ordered to be interviewed by the leader of the secret guard.

There is only one leader of Bei Yin Anwei, Han Ling.

He checked the truth over and over again, so he went to the site of the former Beiyin Palace and read all the royal records.

Han Ling, real name Mu Hualing, and Princess Hualing, the eldest daughter of the former Beiyin regent empress dowager, was intelligent since she was a child, and was later assigned to command the Beiyin Anwei Camp. He lurked in Daxing for ten years and died of suicide in Luoyanpo.

He also went to the former Southern Liang Kingdom and found the imprisoned Princess Yongsi.

He has checked and asked about everything and everyone related to Han Ling.

Situ Huairuo finally knew who saved him.

But the man had already disappeared, and he could only meet under Jiuquan after turning into loess.

The only thing he had ever had in his heart, the one who really wanted it was no longer there, and no one could listen to it, wanting to repay, wanting to apologize, or even repenting.

Situ Huairuo found a substitute for Mu Yongsi, who was imprisoned for generations. As the former Princess Bei Yin who had murdered the Queen of Chu, it was impossible for the former Emperor Nanliang to live in An Lehou to save her life. He also saw Mu Yongsi. Yongsi's eyes are full of hatred of the country and family, but this is the only living relative of that person.

Situ Huairuo felt too much guilt. He rescued Mu Yongsi to help her hide her name and let people protect her and live well. He could only do it for Han Ling.

After doing all this, he chose to convert to Buddhism.

Regardless of everyone's persuasion, he calmly and indifferently became a monk of Wuyuan again.

Enlightenment, if it is not clear, then it is a miscarriage, and this fate is missed.

The Situ family still stood tall, and Qin Jia got what she wanted, standing side by side with Yan Shu to share the world. End the troubled times, rule the world, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

He didn't let anyone down, and the only one who was sorry was Han Ling.

If there really is the reincarnation that the Buddhists say, he hopes that the next life can repay Han Ling.

Situ Huairuo admitted that he was not a devout disciple of Buddhism, and he took refuge only because of the uneasy life in this life, in order to avoid the world and pray for that person.

Unexpectedly, the Buddha had a spirit, and even gave him a chance to do it all over again.

And it was back to the moment before Han Ling died of suicide.

Although he was transparent at that time, he was too young and had no experience in world affairs. In his eyes, Han Ling was only a good North Yin spy in disguise. He thought that as long as he moved with affection, knowing and reasoning, he would persuade him to surrender. Then there will be a happy ending.

But I don't know what is hidden under Han Ling's tragic and resolute smile without saying a word.

There are too many unreasonable secrets hidden in Han Ling's body. They are all buried because of her death. No one knows about her past joys, sorrows, sorrows, and her ambitions.

Only after more than ten years was Situ Huairuo uncovered one by one.

This time he had already drawn his bow in advance and shot down the long sword that Han Ling was about to put on the snow-white neck with one arrow.

In the previous life, he could shoot and kill enemy generals in a thousand armies, which was only a few hundred feet away. It was easy to stop Han Ling from suffocating herself without hurting her.

Everything happened off guard,

And Situ Huairuo's words shocked everyone, "Dignified Princess Bei Yin, is she willing to die in a foreign country?"

"You think you are dead, we can't find anything?"

Yan Shu's face changed and he was surprised. No one dared to do it anymore. After knowing that Han Ling was Princess Bei Yin, no one dared to bear the name that might be meritorious or sinful.

Even Han Ling, who had decided to commit suicide not to fall into the hands of an enemy country, was shocked. This is the secret of the royal family, and it is impossible for outsiders to know, Situ Huairuo, how did he know?

Just for a moment, Situ Huairuo had already broken into Beiyin's secret investigation alone, captured Han Ling who was already injured, and lightly tapped her acupoint when she was unable to resist.

Han Ling fainted in his arms.

Situ Huairuo secretly said, I'm sorry, but I can't just watch you die again.

The person who has been searching hard is no longer in this world. This regret is uneasy, and he doesn't want to experience it again.

The arrest of the spy was finally over when Han Ling was exposed as Princess Bei Yin.

Situ Huairuo dealt with Jing Ansi's people at will, saying only that he guessed it because of something. Apart from the martial arts and archery that he accidentally revealed that day, there was nothing suspicious. After all, his surname was Situ.

Under all eyes, he couldn't show that he cared too much about Han Ling.

Situ Huairuo did not go to officialdom, but he could guess that the court was now arguing about how to deal with Han Ling, and was stuck in a stalemate. No one said that he would kill Han Ling and assume the responsibility of executing the princess Bei Yin, which might lead to war. .

In addition, news soon came from Bei Yin, expressing that he was willing to pay the price to exchange for their princess, but the envoy reported that the attitude was very strong, saying that the regent dowager is eager to love her daughter, if the princess breaks a hair, it must be Let Daxing pay the debt.

This also made Daxing even more afraid to act rashly. The longer the time, the captive Princess Bei Yin turned into a hot potato, unable to kill.

Han Ling, no, she should be called by her real name, Mu Hualing.

At this time, he was imprisoned in the deepest and innermost cell of Daxing Sky Prison. Although he was imprisoned, he enjoyed the VIP-level courtesy. After all, a distinguished prisoner like her is also rare.

Although Bei Yin was defeated, it was still a powerful enemy of Daxing, and the qualifications for negotiations between the two sides were also equal. Similarly, for Beiyin princess Mu Hualing, it is naturally impossible to be shackled and iron shackled like other felons, nor do they have to be tortured and tortured like other Beiyin spies.

But since waking up, Mu Hualing tried to kill herself on a hunger strike without drinking water or rice in prison.

The big guys in the court are still negotiating with Bei Yin. The noble Bei Yin Duke in the prison is mainly because of some moths. All the guards have to eat melons. They will get rid of their jobs and lose their lives.

So when Situ Huairuo asked to see Mu Hualing, the principal Jing Ansi who was in charge of watching Princess Bei Yin hesitated and agreed.

Situ Huairuo screened people back, such as the jailer who guarded Mu Hualing at all times to prevent her from committing suicide.

Situ Huairuo knew that Mu Hualing hated him deeply, because he prevented her from committing suicide and being a prisoner of war, which was the greatest shame for her.

But once again, the last thing Situ Huairuo wanted to see was her death.

No matter how much he had, he couldn't tell.

Under the dim light and shadow of the lights, her face was pale and haggard, but her tight lips were stubborn and unwilling to compromise. At this moment, although she didn't seem to want to be desperate and desperate when she sang herself, she didn't bother to pretend, and she was indifferent to the extreme.

Even if I saw him coming.

"I'm Situ Huairuo, do you... remember me?"

Mu Hualing glanced at him indifferently, and turned his head away, as if she would rather face the wall than look at him. Her voice was a bit weak, "The plan failed, because I am ashamed to Bei Yin and ashamed to mother and queen."

"But I would rather die than be used by you to blackmail my mother's queen."

This is her arrogance and stubbornness.

Situ Huairuo pressed down the emotions in his heart, and said calmly, "Even for Bei Yin, the princess can't survive for a while."

He caught Mu Hualing's weakness in a word, isn't it Bei Yin that she cares most about?

If she can die for Bei Yin, she can live for Bei Yin.

After Situ Huairuo said those words, Mu Hualing fell silent. He persuaded a few more words, but Mu Hualing never reacted.

Situ Huairuo took a lot of setbacks and managed to get the envoy of Bei Yin to see her.

The envoy was extremely respectful to her, and he was obviously relieved to see that she was safe and sound. After speaking for a long time alone, perhaps the Queen Mother Bei Yin asked him to relay it.

Finally, Mu Hualing no longer wanted to die, Bei Yin paid a high price in the negotiation and welcomed their Princess Hualing back.

But she never said a word to Situ Huairuo until she boarded the car of the Beiyin Mission and left Daxing.

Situ Huairuo changed Mu Hualing's life and death, and her destiny also changed many things.

No one could have imagined that after Mu Hualing returned to Bei Yin, he would have profoundly affected the situation in the world a few years later, even if Situ Huai Ruoyuan was in Daxing, he could hear the prestigious name of Princess Hualing of Bei Yin.

But this prestige has brought endless scary assassinations, betrayal crises,

She is trapped in a whirlpool of power, she is ambitious, decisive, and conspiracy is ubiquitous.

She conquered again and again, causing endless flames.

Situ Huairuo listened to every news about her.

He didn't do anything more, nor did he blend in with any forces, and Qin Jia and Yan Shu did not rise as fast as they did in their previous lives.

Although Qin Jia was named the county head by the emperor for his merits in arresting Beiyin, Yan Shu’s mother, Princess Xian, was repelled. After arriving in the capital, Qin Jia was driven out of the palace, unwilling to admit her relationship with Yan Shu. , And choose other noble ladies, Yan Shu is also very helpless about this, and still wants to come to Situ Huairuo to complain.

But after being reborn, Situ Huairuo left them without a trace.

Situ Huairuo didn't care whether Qin Jia and Yan Shu could achieve the achievements of their previous lives and reach the top of the world. No matter whether they were in the previous or this life, he had nothing to ask for.

Qin Jia is indeed a very good woman, with different insights from another world. In the previous life, Qin Jia used all her support to support Yanshu, pave the way for him, and clear away obstacles for him. She loves Yanshu too much and forgets the most indispensable in this world. The believer is the emperor, who has no scruples and never guards.

If Situ Huairuo didn't know the truth in the previous life, he might admonish Qin Jia and leave her with the means to protect her.

In his previous life, Situ Huairuo had already paid off Qin Jia's kindness to him, and the outcome had nothing to do with him.

In this life, he will not intervene, and which step Qin Jia and Yan Shu finally took has nothing to do with Situ Huairuo.

He became less famous, and even took the initiative to push his younger brother to the position to replace him as the unicorn who supported the Situ family. He made everyone gradually forget the name Situ Huairuo. The outside world thought that Situ Huairuo was truly born.

And he was still watching all the news about Mu Hualing silently.

Year after year, day after day.

Situ Huairuo didn't know when to meet her, and what to say and do when he saw him.

He even couldn't help thinking about what he was to Mu Hualing.

If it’s just a momentary soft-hearted life-saving,

Then why did she reject him thousands of miles away when the imperial capital was given the marriage, pretending to be savage and willful, and doing nothing but unpleasant appearance.

Why from beginning to end, even at the moment when Dao Jue Jue sang herself, she never said anything to save her life.

She had never been honest with him, just because she was Princess Bei Yin, and he was a Daxing citizen.

Situ Huairuo smiled bitterly. He probably couldn't wait for Mu Hualing to tell him the truth in his life. She was so deceitful and disguised that she could not see her feelings of joy, anger, sorrow and joy. He thinks he is smart and sees everything through, but he has been deceived by her for more than ten years. He has never seen her thoughts and thoughts. How can he see her sincerity?

His Situ Huairuo was so insignificant to her.

Even if he thought so, Situ Huairuo went to Bei Yin to rescue her desperately when he speculated that Mu Hualing was in danger.

Even then it was already the time when the two armies confronted each other and decided the world.

In a cave in the cold plain,

Perhaps after experiencing a life and death crisis, Mu Hualing was no longer so indifferent to him, and even said a lot of truth.

"Thank you, Situ Huairuo, thank you for preventing me from committing suicide in the first place. I still have so many things to do. If I die in Daxing, maybe I will be cut off for a while and keep my last dignity, but it is true. Ashamed of my mother queen and Bei Yin."

After returning to Bei Yin, Mu Hualing remembered how irresponsible she was to commit suicide when faced with the grieving reprimand of her mother to her after returning to Bei Yin. She thought that she had safeguarded Bei Yin’s interests, but her life was in the eyes of the mother, queen and brother. It is also the treasure of Bei Yin.

Situ Huairuo said firmly and firmly, "You saved me back then."

Mu Hualing was slightly startled, a little lost, "So, you already knew it."

"You also know that I like you."

Her voice was very soft, but it was as heavy as a drum in Situ Huairuo's heart.

Mu Hualing didn't notice Situ Huairuo's look, "I thought I pretended to be very good, and deceived everyone, including myself."

She laughed at herself again, and said seriously to him, "Situ Huairuo, if you are tired of the chaos and the slaughter of war, go back to the mountain and be your monk."

Just like the news that Situ Huairuo has been paying attention to, she will silently pay attention to his affairs. She heard that he is indifferent to everything, detached from the world, and even a little out of the family.

Situ Huairuo's presence here has surprised her, but she is very happy to be able to see him again.

"I have already told my mother, queen and emperor's brother, if the winner is Bei Yin, you Situ Huairuo and the Situ family will not be hurt, safe and sound, if not, I don't need to worry about it." Mu Hualingqing With a laugh, the fire fainted the tears that flashed in her eyes.

There was a heavy sound of horseshoes outside. At that time, the iron cavalry belonged to Bei Yin. They came very quickly. In fact, the two didn't get along for long.

Mu Hualing stood up, it seemed that it was the ambitious princess Hualing who was holding authority again.

"Someone has already come to pick me up. I'm leaving. You can leave tomorrow. It's safer."

The moment she turned and left, Situ Huairuo held her sleeves, "If you are not Princess Bei Yin, I am not Situ Huairuo, will we be different."

Maybe she would be honest with him earlier, and he could recognize his sincerity early.

Mu Hualing said indifferently, "I have never regretted being born in the emperor's house in this life to complete the great cause of unification. This is what my heart desires."

Her eyes are so shining, proud like a phoenix flying high in the sky.

Situ Huairuo couldn't think that it was the last time he saw Mu Hualing.

When the news of her death came, he knew how self-righteous he was. He thought that by repeating it again and changing the ending of Mu Hualing's suicide, he could change everything and control everything easily.

He thought he was smart and guessed that even if he went to Beiyin, Mu Hualing would not see him, so he did not appear in front of her.

He thought that Mu Hualing hated him to the bone, but he didn't know that she had never complained about him.

Whether it was destroying the Bei Yin plan, driving her to a dead end, or preventing her from committing suicide, Mu Hualing never had any resentment towards him in her heart. She even carefully hid her love for Situ Huairuo, deeply and without a trace.

She tried her best to obtain asylum for him after Bei Yin's victory, even his family.

Even if it was the only time she had a heart-to-heart relationship, she never asked him if he liked him, and what he wanted to do for her.

Situ Huairuo realized that she was too late and didn't realize what she wanted to do.

He knew Mu Hualing's long-cherished wish, but he did not expect that she even regarded herself as a vital chess.

This move was also her last killer move to destroy the enemy and unify the world for Bei Yin. Whether she is alive or dead, this ultimate move will perfectly annihilate the enemy and complete her country's great cause of reunification.

Qin Jia and Yan Shu were also dragged to death in this ultimate move.

After Bei Yin ruled the world, the name of the country was changed to Da Yin.

The emperor Dayin built the most gorgeous and noble mausoleum in the world for the emperor who died on the battlefield, which far exceeded the ritual regulations of the princess, and suppressed all the remonstrances.

Situ Huairuo saw that the cemetery was full of pavilions and sycamore trees, and exquisite jade bells hung high and low under the corners of the square eaves. The wind was outdated, and the sound was dazzling, like a sorrowful song.

The garden is full of deep purple, golden, red and green,

He was able to come in because he got a warrant from the Queen Mother Yin.

Behind the curtain, the Queen Mother Yin is very old and she is also accompanied by a cough disease. She is not at all like a regent who has been a noble and graceful queen for decades.

But she seemed to have expected that Situ Huairuo would come. She carefully looked at the young man in front of her and sighed softly, "Go and see her."

If it weren't for Hua Ling to beg her for this person, hoping that Bei Yin would protect him and the Situ family, the Queen Mother Yin would not have known, because Hua Ling had always liked someone in his heart.

The Queen Mother Yin said with a trembling voice, "I am not a good mother, so she has sacrificed so much."

Because of her decision, Hua Ling was born with noble golden branches and jade leaves. At a young age, she had to be sent to Daxing, drifted away, and placed under a fence. She learned to conceal her own emotions and sorrows. She was in the dark and did sordid things.

It was also because of her request that Hua Ling put his life and death aside, and even his feelings became a sacrificed part.

At the moment when Hua Ling died, there was no partial complaint, and the letters left were all words of comfort to his relatives.

The Queen Mother Yin’s long-cherished wish was fulfilled, but she was suffering from the piercing pain of losing her daughter.

Maybe in a few years, she will be able to meet Hua Ling under Jiuquan.

And Hua Ling’s wish during her lifetime will be fulfilled. Situ Huai Ruo and the Situ family will not be harmed. No matter whether he likes Hua Ling or not, he can do whatever he wants. Even if he is rebellious, Queen Mother Yin will keep him. life.

Because this is the only thing my daughter ever asked her in her life.

Situ Huairuo finally saw Hua Ling's tomb, with a similar ending to the previous life, but this time it was heartbroken.

Hua Ling, you know that the people of the world are praising you for your deeds in reunifying the world, and even erecting temples and monuments for you.

Situ Huairuo only learned now that it turned out that this was never a gift from the Buddha, but a punishment for him in the first life.
