Chapter 247 Past and Present Life

What is coming will still come. Xiao Xia also has a strong interest in the prince. He also wants to know whether there are other time travelers besides him and the prince.

At noon, Xiao Xia arrived at Wencui Restaurant. The restaurant was bustling with people and business was booming. When the owner saw the owner coming, he quickly invited him upstairs.

"Someone above has ordered that when you arrive, please go to the Red Pine Room!"

"How long have they been here?"

"It's been a while, but not too long. In less than a quarter of an hour, they have booked the entire third floor."

"how many people?"

"There are about a dozen people!"

Soon, the shopkeeper brought Xiao Xia to the third floor. Xiao Xia waved his hand and asked the shopkeeper to go back first. Xiao Xia then put on the mask.

There were more than a dozen guards standing in front of Hongsong's room, staring at Xiao Xia nervously, with their hands on the hilts of their swords. Xiao Xia was wearing armor, had a collar around his neck, and a mask on his face, so there was really no place to start if they wanted to assassinate him.

Xiao Xia took off his mask a few steps away. The leader recognized Xiao Xia, nodded, opened the door and said, "Your Highness, please come in!"

Xiao Xia asked with a smile: "Are you Wu Tianxi?"

The leader nodded, "I am Wu Tianxi!"

Xiao Xia laughed and said, "It's actually the eighth rank!"

"Young Master was able to fight Shi Wansui for twenty rounds. I am ashamed of myself!"

"Where is your brother Wu Yunzhao?"

"He is serving as the General of Chariots and Cavalry at the Nanyang County Military Office!"

Wu Yunzhao was actually arranged to go to Nanyang. Will it be useful?

Xiao Xia walked into the room and saw Prince Yang Yong sitting at the table. Behind him stood a tall and strong warrior with a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle.

This person should be Xiong Kuohai, the best fighter around the prince. It was he who killed the steward and guards who came to pick him up to Beijing on the canal outside Jiangdu City. The real Xiao Xia also died at his hands.

Xiao Xia smiled and said, "Uncle Emperor, please forgive me for not being so polite!"

Yang Yong nodded and said to Xiong Kuohai, "He is my nephew, he will be fine, you can leave! Tell everyone to retreat to the second floor."

Xiong Kuohai took a deep look at Xiao Xia, then walked out and said, "The Lord has ordered everyone to retreat to the second floor!"

There was the sound of footsteps, and everyone went to the second floor.

Yang Yong laughed and said, “I heard that people with deep inner strength can hear clearly what we say in the room even from outside!”

Xiao Xia felt it for a moment and smiled: "There is indeed no one else on the third floor!"

"Xiao Qilang, you should know why I asked you to come here, right?"

Xiao Xia said calmly: "Wu Tianxi should be in Tuoluo Village!"

Yang Yong's eyes flashed with a light, and he sneered, "At this time, Wang Wei has not yet written that every festive occasion makes one miss his family more!"

"Let's not beat around the bush. What does Your Highness want to ask me?"

Yang Yong stared at Xiao Xia for a while, and suddenly he sighed, "I just want to know what's wrong with me?"

"Your Highness, can you first tell me about your past life in your dream?"

Yang Yong smiled bleakly, "In the 30th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, I was just a storyteller in Suzhou. I have been in this era for a full 20 years."

It turned out that Yang Yong was a man of the 30th year of Kangxi's reign and a native of Jiangnan. Xiao Xia suddenly gained great confidence. He had three hundred years more experience than Yang Yong.

"Your Highness, are you talking about The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties?"

Yang Yong nodded. "I have been talking about the Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties for twenty years in my previous life. Tell me, what is going on?" Xiao Xia smiled and said, "It's just that we forgot to drink Mengpo soup when we crossed the Naihe Bridge!"

"Is there such a thing?"

Yang Yong stared at Xiao Xia for a while and said, "You are talking nonsense!"

Of course it's nonsense, but how else can one explain time travel without talking nonsense?
Xiao Xia groaned for a moment and said, "I didn't know what was going on originally. But Yuan Tianshi, who taught me the inner strength, once told me a fortune and he revealed the secret."

"What did he say?" Yang Yong asked nervously.

At this moment, Xiao Xia suddenly discovered that Yang Yong had completely lost the bearing of a prince. Instead, he had the temperament of a down-and-out middle-aged scholar, with a sour and petty air all over his body. Perhaps this was what he was like in his previous life.

Xiao Xia said calmly, "When I was eight years old, Yuan Tianshi told me that I would have a great calamity when I was fourteen, a calamity that would last for several lifetimes."

Yang Yong murmured to himself, "How many reincarnations?"

Xiao Xia nodded, "It dawned on me that you and I have both been reincarnated. Prince Yang Yong is your past life, and Xiao Xia is my past life. Our souls have traveled through thousands of years and have been called back to our past lives, but there is still a trace of memory of our future lives, which is the memory that impressed us the most."

Yang Yong sighed, "You're right. I've forgotten a lot of things. My father was a winemaker, but I just can't remember how his wine was made. It's completely different from the wine we have now. I also have a son, also named Yang Yong, but I can't remember what he looks like. I only remember the river in front of my house, and the Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties that I've been talking about for twenty years. I thought I drowned because I got drunk, so I can't remember anything about my past life."

Xiao Xia smiled and said, "It's just the remaining memories. I won't remember too much. I'm the same. I've forgotten a lot of things."

"Can I go back?" This is the most crucial point, the answer Yang Yong wants to know most.

Xiao Xia nodded, "The soul is immortal, it travels through reincarnation. When you die in this life, when you open your eyes again, it may be the romantic days of the Northern Song Dynasty, or you in the tenth year of Kangxi, but it is estimated that there will be no remaining memories."

Yang Yong laughed, "If I could choose, I would definitely choose myself in the tenth year of Emperor Kangxi's reign. I was only twenty years old at that time. I could choose a wife again and would never marry that evil woman from Zhang Mazi's family!"

At this time, Xiao Xia's face changed and said, "Someone is coming!"

Soon, someone knocked on the door. Xiong Kuohai asked in a low voice, "My lord, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, just stand outside the door!"

In an instant, Yang Yong regained the dignity of the Crown Prince of the Great Sui Dynasty and said calmly: "I am very sorry for what happened in the city this time. I can assure you that I will not monitor you anymore. There is no need for it now."

Xiao Xia smiled and said, "Your Highness, are you confused? What exactly went wrong? How could you suffer such a huge loss?"

Yang Yong sighed, "I feel something is wrong, but I can't figure out what went wrong. Can you tell me?"

Xiao Xia nodded, "Because there is a detail that was deliberately concealed, and you don't know it. If you knew it, you would never make the mistake of accusing me of murder."

"What details?"

"At that time, Wannian County Magistrate Wang Shengzhi wanted to arrest me, but I showed him something that scared him so much that he ran away."

"What is it?"

Xiao Xia took out the emperor's golden medal from his bosom, placed it on his palm, and showed the four words "As if I were here in person" to Crown Prince Yang Yong.

Yang Yong looked as if struck by lightning. His face turned pale in an instant and he could not utter a word. He now understood why Wannian County refused to detain Xiao Xia. It turned out that they knew about the gold medal but kept it hidden from him.

"Your Highness, the Wannian County Magistrate is not my father's man. Think about it, who is hiding behind this?"

Who else could it be other than the venomous snake that was the King of Han, Yang Liang? Yang Yong slammed the table hard, gnashing his teeth and saying, "You are such a good old fifth brother, you actually shot me in the back. If I don't take revenge, I will not be a human being!"

Xiao Xia smiled again and said, "If Your Highness wants to leave, I won't see you off. I still have to eat lunch!"

Yang Yong no longer had the heart to talk to Xiao Xia. He stood up and walked away. When he reached the door, he stopped and turned back to say, "If I ascend the throne, I won't kill you. This world is too deserted!"

Xiao Xia sat in the room and waited for Yang Yong to leave. He walked to the corner and pulled the rope to summon the waiter. Not long after, a waiter ran in, "Sir, what can I do for you?"

"Give me a pot of sake, five catties of Hu pancakes and three hot dishes!"
