Chapter 1978 [Shang Xie] Whether it is his life or his country
"Whether it's because of my status as the former Pavilion Master of Tianji Sect or my martial arts skills, you should understand that I am a more useful person than you."
Xia Fuyi's voice was calm, without any hint of arrogance or complacency in it, but it was precisely because of this calmness that it seemed even more unquestionable.
Lian Tang was a little angry and a little embarrassed, but more of it was surprise, which was fully reflected in his wide eyes.
"What do you mean?"
"I want to help him."
Xia Fuyi did not hesitate at all.
"Whether it's his life or his country, I want to save it."
The girl's tone remained calm, as if she was just saying, "I want to eat."
Lian Tang stared at her blankly, his eyes filled with silver moonlight filled with cold determination, and precisely because of that coldness, the determination seemed even more unquestionable.
Lian Tang didn't know at the moment that behind this cold yet affirmative promise, there were already countless dangers of being immersed in the night sword light and the sounds of fighting on the bloody battlefield.
Lian Tang was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but ask,
"Why?"
In fact, he had wanted to ask for a long time.
It started when Xia Fuyi held the poisoned sword for Li Chi, and two days ago, he learned that Xia Fuyi had chased him all the way to Shenjing, and even broke into the palace and the Zichen Hall.
Why would you go to such lengths for someone you only know superficially and don't even know his real name?
Why would she be so unwilling to leave this dangerous palace and even make such an impossible promise?
Do you know how long we have fought for His Majesty in this darkness? Do you know how powerful and reckless His Majesty once was? Even such a Majesty, such a person, we have given up. How can you make such a bold promise?
Lian Tang looked at Xia Fuyi, just waiting for her answer.
But Xia Fuyi did not answer.
The girl who had been calm and serious just now seemed to have her throat choked by this question.
Her eyes, which were originally looking directly at Lian Tang, began to look elsewhere, and her expression became slightly stiff.
But in the dim moonlight, Lian Tang suddenly saw the redness spreading to her ears.
Lian Tang: ...
Lian Tang suddenly understood something, his mouth opened wide, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
"You... you actually dare to have such thoughts about our Majesty..."
Xia Fuyi's face, which had been slowly turning red, suddenly turned redder.
A strange feeling surged up in her heart, making her want to cover Lian Tang's mouth, or even better, cover his entire face.
But she didn't dare to make a big noise, so she lowered her head, clenched her fists and changed the subject stiffly.
"Do you want to tell me what's wrong with him?"
Lian Tang came back to his senses from the shock, looked at her with a complicated expression, and said,
"You should have guessed it already. Do I need to tell you?"
Xia Fuyi's face, which had been red just now, slowly turned pale again. Her eyes were slightly cold as she murmured,
"Is it really poisonous?"
After a moment, she stared at Lian Tang and said,
"You said that what he needs most right now is the military talisman. Is that thing in Changsun Qingzhao's possession?"
Lian Tang looked at her warily after hearing this.
"Do you know what this is for?"
"If it's with Changsun Qingzhao, I'll find a way to steal it out."
Lian Tang hesitated for a moment before saying,
"Your Majesty originally had two military tokens in his hands. One could command the Imperial Guards throughout the entire Imperial City, and the other was used to command the largest army on the border. These two military tokens were originally the most important life-saving talismans in His Majesty's hands. However, due to some special reasons not long ago, the military token that commanded the Imperial Guards was taken away by Changsun Qing. As a result, Your Majesty, who could previously sneak out of the palace, is now unable to even leave the Purple Palace. If he could get this military token back, he would feel much more at ease."
