Chapter 12

As long as there is someone above who speaks more than her, she will never be able to truly live here with the mentality of a master, and will be nothing more than a marionette in the hands of others.

To completely change this situation, the only way is to sit in the first place here, that is, to overwhelm Duanmuqi.

The possibility—

Not at all!
At least not in a short period of time.

Under the low eaves, Song Chuxi has always been aware of current affairs.

She pursed her lips and remained silent for a moment, as if she was in deep thought. After a while, she took a deep breath, looked up at Duanmuqi again and said, "Ask someone to carry me inside, I have something to do with you alone explain!"

If Song Chuqi really has a black history, then with Duanmuqi, her face is completely unreliable now——

It's time for a showdown to protect yourself!

Her expression was serious, even somewhat serious, in stark contrast to her childish face at her age.

Duanmuqi looked sideways, with a lazy expression, "You still want to talk about Song Chuqi?"

"No!" Song Chuxi shook his head and paused, "I want to talk about the Nantang Song family and your Duanmu family!"

Duanmuqi groaned, seeing the expression on her face, he finally had to pay attention to it.

With a wave of his hand, he sent the maid in the room away.

After thinking about it, he got up and went over, carried Song Chuxi into the inner bedroom, and put her on a beauty couch, while he himself leaned over and sat beside her.

He didn't speak, just looked at the girl in front of him calmly.

Song Chuxi looked at him for a moment, then moved his eyes to the window, looked at the shadow of the red plum swaying in the cold wind, and said, "Let me tell you, come and listen. If there are any mistakes, you can correct them later." I!"

Duanmu Qi pursed his lips and remained silent.

To be honest, he was really not used to a ten-year-old girl talking to him so rigidly.

"More than a hundred years ago, the world was divided into four parts, Beidi, Nantang, Xijiang, and Pengze Kingdom, which lived on the east coast. The four parties were independent and each was independent. Later, the Helian family in the west gradually declined, and the royal family gradually began to fight for power. 43 years ago, it was finally encroached by Beidi, who was firmly in the middle of the country, occupied the most extensive area, and was the strongest." Song Chuxi didn't care about him, just With a solemn and calm tone, he said to himself, "After the overthrow of the Helian clan, Beidi, the most powerful of the four kingdoms, is like a tiger and Tianyi. And because he ruled the western border, he directly surrounded the Nantang regime in a corner from three sides .”

Her eyes were calm, and her voice sounded very immature and soft, but the story of the past was told slowly, but it still gave people a strong and heavy feeling.

Duanmuqi's fingers rested on his knees, he didn't move for a while, he seemed to be fascinated by listening.

"Nantang was originally a small country on the border. It was barely able to maintain it because it was located in the southern hilly area and was shielded by complex mountains. In this way, the lord of Nantang naturally felt an unprecedented threat. After taking the western border , Bei Di was indeed determined to make persistent efforts to annex Nantang. The ruler of Nantang was unwilling to surrender, gearing up for a last-ditch battle, but he was betrayed by the two powerful families in his country, and committed suicide in the Nantang Palace." Song Chuxi also seemed to think that he did not exist, and continued to state in an orderly manner, "After the death of the Nantang Lord, the Nantang family headed by the Song family and the Duanmu family jointly delivered a letter of surrender to the Beidi royal family. One soldier and one soldier, following the western border, took Nantang into the bag. Pengze in the east, relying on the back facing the sea, has a wide retreat, and can still stand tall."

Even if it was the voluntary surrender and the shame of breaking the country, there are still lingering voices lingering on the land of Nantang for more than 40 years.

Hearing this, the corners of Duanmuqi's lips suddenly curved, that expression that seemed to be smiling, seemed to be full of indescribable sarcasm.

Song Chuxi caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye, but he just pretended not to see it, "The Song family and the Duanmu family were rewarded by the court to rule Nantang together. There are rich mineral deposits in the Nantang area, all of which are controlled by the Duanmu family. , and the Song family—holds the [-] private soldiers left over from the Nantang Dynasty, and is responsible for guarding the southern gate of the empire. The two aristocratic families used to go hand in hand, but since my aunt entered the palace that year, they gradually pulled apart The gap opened up, and because the Duanmu family held incomparably rich property in their hands, the competition for the position of the head of the family was extremely cruel, and they gradually followed the old path of the Helian family in Western Xinjiang, and began endless internal fighting. After such disputes In the past ten years, the Song family has been far behind. The current situation in Nantang - the Song family is the only one."

Song Chuxi's gaze had been fixed on the window paper, but when she said this, her tone suddenly sank, and without warning, she looked away again, and looked at Duanmuqi who was silent in front of her.

Duanmuqi came back to his senses, and asked casually: "So what? You want to tell me that this Nantang is the world of your Song family, and I shouldn't touch you?"

Having said that, he didn't think so in his heart.

"Fire cooking oil!" Song Chuxi said, even answering the question, the four words were loud, and then snorted a sneer, "This is not a good thing for the Song family."

"Huh?" Duanmuqi's eyebrows twitched faintly, and then he seemed to have completely recovered, and gave her a questioning look.

"The royal family has always been afraid of powerful ministers. Beidi's ancestor emperor reused the Song family and allowed the Duanmu family to control the mines. It was just because of the situation at the time that he did not dare to treat the two families harshly. He was said to be the Baoliang emperor who did his best. But of these two families, one of them holds a wealth that rivals the country, and the other holds a large army, dominates one side, and is an emperor, how can he really rest assured?" Song Chuxi said, as if he was not prepared to wait for Duanmuqi He replied, and then added, "The Song family has private soldiers in their hands, and it was already a unique honor in the court, but under such circumstances, the late emperor still wanted to confer the Song family's daughter as the queen? This is really just a coincidence. And is there no other intention? And the Duanmu family's disputes in the nest, are they really all unavoidable coincidences?"

Her tone is sharp, and every word and every sentence is sharp.
