17. Chapter 17 02 The Truth(1/2)

After she learned his true identity from Yang Ye, she was shocked. She had known that his identity was extraordinary, but she never thought that he was the terrifying God of War. So, when he taught her kung fu, he made three rules with her to hide his identity and did not allow her to tell the Yang family about his existence. Then he should have known that she was the daughter of the Yang family at that time, right?

Since she knew her identity, why didn't she use it? For him, this was a great opportunity to remove the entire Yang family. Even if he knew that it was wronged, he could not be relieved.

Why doesn't he use such a great opportunity?

The little things she had been with before flashed in her mind, and many things she ignored appeared clearly before her. He had asked indirectly about his life before entering the Yang family, his mother who was killed by the Khitans. At that time, a light flashed in his eyes. He covered it up very well, but she noticed it. However, she didn't care at all at that time. Looking back now, the light was - guilt!

That's right, guilt!

Why was he guilty? She should have never known him before. Thinking of the weapon he used, would he have any connection with his mother's death?

Close your eyes and think, every bit of the past was connected in this moment.

The Khitans did not plunder the village on a whim, but were looking for something. If they were just plundering, they would not have reached the point of slaughtering the village.

That night under her mother, she clearly saw someone handing over the things to the leader, and he said something. She couldn't understand at that time, and later she repeated the words to Brother Silang. After hearing this, he looked complicated and told her that the man said: "The thing has been found, and the person has been killed, so there is no need to stay anymore!"

‘Things’? Their purpose of slaughtering the village was to find something. What was it? The small village was very barren, and the grain they planted was only enough to apply, and there was no valuable thing to find.

If there is really something valuable, it is the jade pendant given to her by the boy who happened to meet her. No matter how unaware of the goods, she knew that the jade pendant was valuable. They came for the jade pendant, which means that they knew that the jade pendant was in the hands of the villagers, but they didn't know who it was in, so they slaughtered the village just to retrieve the jade pendant.

They said, "If something is found, people will be killed." So, the person they want to kill is not the innocent villagers, but the person with jade pendants, that is, she! If it weren't for losing the jade pendants to the neighbor girl because of a bet, they would probably come to search for their mother and find themselves under their mother. At that time, the person who died was themselves. By chance, the girl became a scapegoat.

She gasped, who was it? It was so vicious? She slaughtered more than a hundred lives just for a jade pendant.

He gave the jade pendant to him. If he really wanted to go back, he would just ask her to get it. There was no need to order the village to slaughter. Moreover, he knew very well who the jade pendant was for. If it was someone he sent, he would only come to her house directly, rather than rummaging through boxes and cabinets in every household in the village. This shows that the person was not sent by him, but it must be related to him.

It turns out that the apology in his eyes was like this? I think he had recognized himself long ago, and understood that it was because of the jade pendant that her family was destroyed. So he taught her martial arts and blocked the sword for her. Therefore, he never used her relationship with him to trap the Yang family injustice.

***

She sighed, and suddenly felt something strange behind her. She leaped her right foot and jumped out one foot away. She turned around, raised her left hand, and a silver needle shot towards the person.

The person who came seemed to have expected her actions, easily avoiding the direction of the silver needles being shot, and the silver needles were shot into the grass behind him.

The other party chuckled: "It is worthy of being my disciple of Yelu Xiu Ge. He is very sensitive. You are now and the little girl who was stunned by the shock back then!"

Xiaoxue withdrew her hand and looked at the man under the moonlight indifferently. Just like the past, the man who was as perfect as a god, was still dressed in black. Standing opposite her, looking at her quietly, his thick eyebrows raised, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a smile seemed to bloom in his deep black eyes. The black eyes were like a huge black hole that could suck her deeply into it.

"Did you give me a jade pendant to kill the entire village?" She asked straight to the point. Although she had guessed the answer, she still hoped that he would tell it in person.

There was no unexpected expression on Yelu Xiu Ge's face. He knew that she was extremely smart, and he was afraid that he would figure it out from the first sight of him at the banquet.

"I'm sorry!" he whispered, as arrogant as him, never giving anyone such humility.

"Who is it?" Xiaoxue suppressed the severe pain of knowing the truth in her heart, and replaced it with a full of hatred. "Why do this?"

"I didn't expect that the woman would order the village to be slaughtered!"

"Woman?!" Xiaoxue's heart suddenly became clear. With his status in Liao Kingdom, the jade pendant must have some meaning to him. The woman must be his admirer or fiancée. When she learned that he gave the jade pendant to another woman, she naturally thought that they had an ambiguous relationship! It was not an old saying that 'hell is not more violent than a woman who is despised', and thus she angrily vented her anger and ordered the village to slaughter the village. What a cruel woman! She treated life like nothing.

And she became someone else's rival at the age of four. Is she the youngest rival in the world?

***

"Although your mother and the villagers were not killed by me, I was the murderer who indirectly killed them. If you want to avenge them, you can do whatever you want, and I will never complain."

Xiaoxue looked at him quietly: "Brother Yelu Xiu, if I want to kill you, when I was detoxifying you, as long as I tried to make trouble, do you think you can live to this day?"

When Yelu Xiu Ge heard her call him his name, his heart sank, and this made him stunned again: "Did you know my identity at that time?"

"At that time, I only knew that you were a Khitan, and I didn't know that you were the prince of the North Court of Liao."

"How do you know?"

"Your weapon, those people assassinated you at that time. When you held me and pulled out your weapons to meet the enemy, I knew you were a Khitan. Because the weapons you used were the same as those who killed my mother back then, my father told me that they were a weapon for the Khitans."

"So that's it. Since you know I'm a Khitan, why did you let me go?" Even if you didn't know that I was the murderer who killed your mother at that time, you would hate all Khitans because of your mother's death, right?" It was a normal mentality for ordinary people to take their anger on all Khitans because of hating a Khitan.

Xiaoxue also understood, but she was not an ordinary person. Because of a person's evil deeds, he vented his anger on his tribe members, and therefore killed innocent people. If this is true, what is the difference between her and those who killed her mother? She hated the Khitans, but she hated the culprit of ordering the village to slaughter the village! She hated those who took action, not innocent people.

When she detoxified him, she had hesitated. If she wanted to do anything, even if Xiao Han was on the side and he was not medically conscious, what could he do if he watched? She would only make the poisons happen several years later or even ten years later. Everyone would think that he died of an old disease recurrence, and no one would contact her.

What's more, the relationship between her and him is secret, unknown, and empty words, so how can she stand with her?

Take a step back and say that she was just a ten-year-old girl at that time. Who would believe that a little girl could do this and kill people invisibly!

But in the Yang family over the years, I have been influenced by the eyes and saw the chivalrous behavior of my brother and parents with my own eyes. They often say that "the disaster is not as good as my wife and children." If you do bad things by yourself, you have to bear it yourself, and you will not implicate his wife and children. What about the innocent people?

She felt that if she vented her anger on others because of her death, the spirit of the sky would not forgive her. She did not forget the words she asked her adoptive father and brother to tell her before her death, "Don't avenge for her, hatred will only make people turn into a devil!"

***

The most important thing is that Xiaoxue looked up at him: "Because you blocked the sword for me and taught me kung fu. Although you are a Khitan, you have nothing to do with the person who killed my mother. Even if I want to take revenge, I have to find someone who really attacks, not someone else." She changed her subject, "And you knew that I would never attack you at that time, so you insisted on me to detoxify you, right?" As smart as he was, how could he easily entrust his life to others, unless he was fully confident. In fact, all her actions at that time were as expected by him.

She stared at the man in front of her, and her father described him like this: "He has the wisdom of a wolf, the ferocity of an eagle, the cunning of a fox, and the skills of a leopard." The person who can make his father admire him so much is enough to imagine his terribleness. He will definitely become the enemy of the Yang family. Maybe he should be killed, but if he dies, it will only cause the war between Song and Liao to break out early.

No matter how the process changes, history will still move towards its established ending.

The Yang family will eventually move towards its established destiny, and the only thing she can do is to try to change the destiny of the Yang family, not history.

Yelu Xiu Ge stared at her, admired her intelligence, and lamented that it was a pity that she was a woman. If she was a man, she would definitely have the talent to plan. But she was a daughter, and she was so beautiful. For a moment, he even had an idea: She was the military advisor behind the Yang family.

"So now that you know the truth, what should you do?"

Xiaoxue took something out of her arms for a moment, and walked to him: "I'll give it back to you! It was your jade pendant that caused my mother to die tragically, but you have saved me, taught me kung fu, and blocked my sword. I detoxified you without any moves, so I'll give you a favor. From now on, all the grudges and entanglements of your past have been written off, and no one will owe anyone."

When Yelu Xiu Ge saw that the thing she handed over was the bow and arrow he gave her back then. He didn't answer, but just stared at her coldly. What does it mean? Is it to give him back to him to break his gratitude?

Xiaoxue put the thing in her hand at his feet, turned around and walked, and walked a few steps, as if thinking of something, she turned around and looked at him who was still standing in the same place: "I won't kill you, just because of your friendship. But one day, you will be enemies with Dasong, my parents and brothers, and even hurt any of them. Then..." She paused, and a firm and decisive light flashed in her eyes, "Even if my martial arts skills are not as good as you, I will try my best to kill you."

Avenge them!" After saying that, she did not stop and left without looking back. After knowing his true identity from Yang Ye, she was shocked. She had known that his identity was extraordinary, but she never thought that he was the terrifying God of War. So, when he taught her kung fu, he made three rules with her to hide his identity and did not allow her to tell the Yang family about his existence.
