Chapter 63
"He wants that man to replace me?"
"That's right. He had been planning this plan for a long time. This summing is a good opportunity for the implementation of the plan. In the kingdom, he was already dissatisfied with my existence, and in the face of his mother, he treated me as if I were his own brother. But—" he sneered, "this is his chance to kill three birds with one stone." ”
From two to three birds, this is also a development. I couldn't help but laugh, thinking that Helan was not only a bird for me, but also for himself.
"He pretended to propose to his mother, saying that it would be best to send me to Dayue, and if the peace talks were successful, he could secretly rob you back. The queen mother is concerned about chaos, a month ago I heard that you were beaten by Emperor Shiyan's staff, and she was angry, so she made a three-chapter agreement with the lord of the country, and asked him to send more people to protect you and me. Moreover, she also ordered that the assassination of Luo Zhen and Zhao Jieyang must be successful. ”
"Your mother wants to kill Luo Zhao and the others so much, do they have anything to do with that incident back then?" I put forward what I thought.
He looked at me with a little admiration: "As you can guess, it is. At that time, Luo Zhao and a few people were the red-clothed guards guarding the Laurel Palace, and several of them retreated from the events of that day. The queen mother's deliberate fall did not escape their eyes, and then several of them secretly reported to Concubine Yi, Concubine Yi was suspicious, but she was too worried about the queen, afraid that the queen was in a more dangerous situation, so they avoided talking about it and were not allowed to spread it again. A few of them knew that if they talked too much, they would lose, and after a few days, they would retire home and escape the chaos in the palace. The queen mother heard about this from Concubine Yi's mouth, and she has been haunted by it, afraid that the events of the year will make waves again, so she wants to kill her. ”
"It seems that your mother is not a kind-hearted person. The voice was a little cold.
I was upset for Luo Zhen, and my heart seemed to sink to the bottom of the water, cold to the bone. Life is really a very helpless and mysterious thing, a body can lead to many consequences if it can't help itself, and a small evil thought can be turned upside down in the future. Many people are victims of this melancholy past, and they die helplessly and unworthily.
He was silent, his expression hesitant. Hands clenched tightly at knees.
Seeing him like this, I hesitated for a moment, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You don't have to carry a burden on anyone's back. ”
His face grew paler, and it was a long time before he spoke, "I'm sorry. ”
Why do you have to say sorry? It really has nothing to do with you.
"How much do you know about Helan Jisheng's plan?" I interrupted the silence in the cave and continued to pursue the answer.
He twisted the rough twig in his hand, picked up the fire, and his expression was solemn, and it gradually became distant, as if I were not in the cold rain.
Putting down the wooden stick, he said slowly: "Helan Jisheng plans to kill all the princes in the hunting ground and make the false prince ascend the throne. ”
It immediately occurred to me that they were not just targeting me.
Mo Dongyan, Mo Xiyu, Mo Nanhuan, if they also die, no one can compete with the fake prince for the throne. However, there are not many killers, how can they attack several princes under the protection of the shadows? As far as I know, the three of them are extraordinary in martial arts.
"This is just the first step. Xiong crossbow sent dozens of winter forest wild horses, which were a bait. The horse's body is coated with the unique baishen incense of the crossbow, and the goshawk carried by the black-clothed guard recognizes this smell, even at a height of hundreds of miles, it can smell faintly. And those who are stained with baishen incense must be a person with a noble enough status. The man in black pursued with the eagle's trail. ”
No wonder, today I saw the black eagle hovering in the air, and then I saw the man in black make a move.
"You followed Eagle Shadow to me?"
He nodded slightly.
"Those men in black don't seem to be soft on you?"
He smiled slightly, and said, "The lord of the kingdom has secretly decreed that if King Gon hinders their actions, they will be killed. He didn't want me to come back alive. ”
Everyone is in the palace, and they can't help themselves, and their lives are not guaranteed. I shook my head at him and sighed. However, there was a sudden sense of foreboding in my heart, as if something bad had happened. Mo Dong proverb, I believe that he should have the ability to dodge the assassination of the black-clothed guard, but-
"Woon!" I cried out, anxious, "the man in black is pretending to be me, I'm afraid he's ...... by now Aren't they in danger?"
I don't worry about it, but what worries me the most at the moment is Xiao Hezi, he doesn't have any martial arts, just a child, if something happens, what can I do?
"You can rest assured. As a last resort, he won't hurt the people around the prince. Your wound starts bleeding again. He hurriedly pressed me to sit down, and it turned out that I was about to stand up as soon as I was excited, and I tore open the wound that had finally stopped the bleeding.
"But—"
Before I could finish speaking, there was a slight wave of stones in the air, and Helan Jiyun's eyes closed and he fainted beside me.
What's going on?
Step by step at the entrance of the cave, a familiar figure, familiar color, and familiar face slowly walked - Shui Qingwei.
"Master!" I cried out in surprise.
The rain outside was not light, but the clothes were not wet. However, there was an impenetrable light in his eyes, gloomy and deep.
He flicked his index finger, and a streak of air hit the acupoint on my chest.
I looked down and the bleeding slowly stopped. But it didn't get as desired, but the body felt the coldness on the ground more and more, and the bones seemed to slowly fall apart.
Propping myself up, I could barely suppress the hot pain and didn't make a sound.
"How long have you been?
At this moment, the words froze, and the breathing became even more turbid. The wound hurts.
"When you first woke up. ”
It's really hidden, I glared at him disapprenantly. Then he said viciously: "As you wish, I know the truth." I'm dying. ”
"You need to learn to be calm. He walked like a soft cloud, fluttering and not feeling, so he stepped beside me, then picked me up, and said lightly: "It's time for this to end." ”
"What about Helan?" I asked him.
"No problem, his men will be there in a moment. His voice was stiff and cold, as if it were coming from behind.
I took two deep breaths, trying to control my temper and try not to reach out to choke his neck.
Dead Ning Yue, you Grim Reaper, how many people have you killed? And you, a dead apprentice, still don't change your face when you eavesdrop on others, and you don't come in to help early when you see his apprentice in pain, and you don't even have the courage to explain the truth, so you have to rely on someone else's mouth to tell me. It's really infuriating. I think I'm a future white-coat doctor who stands up to the sky, but I was so deeply designed by you, and I will die in heaven.
I spat blood, and I didn't know if I was angry or angry.
I couldn't hold back the biggest worry in my heart, so I struggled to ask, "How are Xiaohezi and them?"
"No one can resist without forgiveness, and there is no power to return to heaven. His indifference remained, but there were few inaudible fluctuations in his voice.
...... Really......
Then, counting a few hazy figures, I could vaguely feel the dark red and purple scar on my chest expanding, the darkness swept in, and the familiar milky yellow light was faintly seen, gradually spreading, and gradually gathering into a diamond-shaped object in the dark.
The heart is beating in a room, and I am almost out of breath. I knew that at this moment, I was going to die......
