The Legend Of Beishang
167. Memory of the Past II

Lin Xi sat inside her room with tears soaking her face, in her hands was a painting of a girl with a bright smile and an incredible beauty.

"It's all my fault, isn't it ? You must hate me so much, right ? The words that our daughter said with the words you said last time were the same, you two hated me to death. If Yue'er found out about this then she would definitely do the same. If time could be repeated again then I would choose to be a decent young man. " Murm Lin Xi with a bitter smile.

25 Years ago

There was a small Dynasty that existed on the border of the Tang Dynasty, it was said that it was referred to as the Northern Tang Dynasty.

It lived on the border, although it sounded the same in a glance but it was different. The people who lived there were very free and polite, unlike the people in the Tang Dynasty who were full of intrigue.

Xia Ling, a princess of the Northern Tang Dynasty, her father was an Emperor with an elder brother who was the heir to the throne.

Emperors here are only allowed to have one wife, thus minimizing the seizure of the throne or the struggle for the Emperor's affection which they think is ridiculous.

People fight over non-essential affection, so they create this for harmonious relationships.

Their dwellings were filled with bloody warriors, but however they could not fight the Tang Dynasty which had 3 times more troops than them, they could only survive.

Right now, those simple members of the royal family were gathering in a family room filled with cheerfulness and simplicity, very different from the aura of other Dynasties.

Filled with endless cold and a sense of stranger even between children and fathers, this was like an ordinary family filled with warmth.

The 15-year-old Xia Ling smiled excitedly at her father, Xia Zhong.

"Dad, what if I've found the man of my choice ?" Xia Ling asked with her bright smile.

"If so then take the boy and let your father and your older brother check it out for you, whether he's worth it or not !" Xia Zhong replied with vigor.

Xia Ling laughed freely until her eyes formed a very beautiful crescent moon, in Xia Ling's innocent heart, there was only her father, her mother, her older brother, and her childhood best friend, Sha Xi.

Everything continued to run normally until Xia Ling finally helped a young man who was lost in the forest and fell in love with the handsome young man.

Just like what her father had ordered, Xia Ling brought the young man to her father and elder brother.

"Dad ! Sister ! Please save him !" Xia Ling said anxiously.

Xia Ling's mother, Xia Yin, was good at medicine and healed the handsome young man with some potions, finally the young man was aware and fixated by the beauty that Xia Ling possessed.

Xia Ling's round eyes were staring anxiously, containing a purity that would never be found anywhere.

(Note: The story will not be clarified very clearly, just enough to fill in the blank, because this story will be made its own story for Legend Of Beishang. Who would agree if there was a story for Xia Ling and Lin Xi?)

Both Xia Zhong and Xia Yuan, big brother Xia Ling very quickly became familiar with the young Lin Xi who claimed to be Li Ying.

"Li Ying, are you practicing the sword ? What if you accompany me ?" Xia Ling asked with excitement.

"of course. " Accounted Li Ying.

Li Ying or what is now known as Lin Xi played around with Xia Ling and became closer over time and eventually married.

Meanwhile, Li Ying was appointed the proud commander of the Xia family. They were all very friendly and eventually the marriage between Li Ying and Xia Ling was held.

A week after their wedding, bad news came and made the Northern Tang Dynasty tremble in anger.

Xia Zhong struck the table angrily while Xia Yin calmed the anger that her husband had.

"50 thousand Tang Dynasty troops are heading here, while we only have 40 thousand troops. " She Xia Zhong angrily said.

"The father-in-law is calm, this Li is willing to devote this lowly life to protecting the Northern Tang Dynasty. " Said Li Ying gallantly.

Xia Ling who saw him smiled excitedly but felt worried, on the one hand was proud but on the other hand was also worried.

"Dad, let Yuan come protect our homeland along with sister-in-law. " Say Xia Yuan said courageously without the slightest fear.

"Alright since all of you young generation have decided to intervene, I who have not raised my sword for a long time will come along as well. " Xia Zhong said unexpectedly.

Xia Zhong stubbornly followed them to the battlefield while Xia Ling, Xia Yin and Sha Xi waited anxiously.

"A - Xi, do you think father, brother, and husband will be okay ?" Xia Ling asked gently.

"Mr Princess take it easy, they must have succeeded. " Said Sha Xi.

"If something has happened, I Sha Xi will devote my life to looking after the princess and the Empress. " Sha Xi continued while kneeling.

"Sha Xi, stand up. You are already considered like my own daughter, you are very close to A-Ling. That way I can entrust it to you in case something goes out of control. We old generation will not trouble and burden you. " Say Empress Xia softly and wisely.

Xia Ling's eyes turned watery and could not help but cry then hugged her mother and hugged Sha Xi.

"I'm sure, everything will be fine, I believe in Li Ying, Big Brother and Father. " She said Xia Ling tremblingly and trying to hold back the cries.

Initially the war went well and the Tang Dynasty troops were repulsed before the mistake was made.

More precisely it was not a mistake but there was indeed a traitor in their midst, Xia Ling stared with a look of disbelief on top of the tower.

The person he loved, the person he trusted so much, had been deceiving him all this time without him noticing.

Xia Ling felt that this was a dream and could not help but believe, then with a breath of breath either stared at the scene below.

In fact, Empress Xia could not breathe properly before finally frantically asking Sha Xi to take Xia Ling away.

Damn it that the tower had been besieged and Xia Yin could only sacrifice herself for the safety of her beloved daughter.

"Mother !!!!" Xia Ling cried out with a heart-wrenching cry when she saw the bloody incident with her own two eyes.

FLASHBACK END

Lin Xi regained her senses from her daydreams and smiled bitterly, in the end she felt guilty and felt uneasy.

The word shadows that were said by Beishang and by Xia Ling were like overlapping, even the faces of the two were very similar.

What was different was the gaze of the two, if Xia Ling's gaze was very gentle and affectionate then the gaze belonged to Beishang as sharp as a knife and was extremely cruel.

But, other than that, there would be nothing different at all from Xia Ling and Beishang's faces, like they were made on the same mold.

Unlike Lin Yue who was not too similar to Xia Ling, Lin Xi sighed and tried to sleep but could not do so before finally her door was knocked.

"Lake in." Lin Xi replied in annoyance.

"Bixia, forgive this subordinate. Bei Wang of the Qin Dynasty wants to see you. " Easim Luo politely said.

"Bei Wang is here ?" Lin Xi asked in surprise.

"Tell Bei Wang to come here and let Zhen welcome him personally. " Continue Lin Xi.

"Yes, Bixia. " Say eunuch Luo obediently and immediately ran away.

Not long ago, Bei Wang in a deep purple formal attire with a robe that had a matching color and ribbon that bound his clothes with light purple, was wearing a purple, dark purple, then there was a golden chain that connected the two outer robes so as not to open.

"Greet Your Majesty !" Bei Zhao said while kneeling on one leg.

"What needs does Bei Wang need to find this Zhen ?" Asked Emperor Lin Xi.

"I would probably say a few words frankly and offend Bixia, hope Bixia understood my rudeness. " Said Bei Zhao.

"Good, I like a straightforward young man. " Emperor Lin Xi said with a bright and sharp look.
