Chapter Fifty-Eight: Lanling
"Good eyesight. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info seven steps of lotus, seven steps of lotus opening, seven steps of the soul. This is a strange poison handed down from the previous dynasty, and Lord Xiao is naturally no stranger to it. Jiang Li clapped his hands leisurely, and his lips curved into a beautiful arc, "Poison is on the wine and the wine glass." In other words, it doesn't hurt to just drink alcohol or use a wine glass, only if you drink the wine of the Third Highness with Lord Xiao's wine glass, you will be poisoned. ”
Xiao Chengming's whole body trembled like a sieve: "Could it be that from the moment the minister was summoned by the Third Highness, the prince had murderous intentions, and he was considered poison?"
"No, Ben Gongzi is waiting. Jiang Li said quietly, "Seven glasses of wine are drunk." In the bowl of decanting soup that the Third Highness rewarded you in the end, there was a Gu that suppressed the onset of poison. Otherwise, why did you get poisoned from the time you returned to your home until now? This son is waiting for you, so that you can take the initiative to see me and give me an explanation after you come back. ”
"Wine glass, wine, decanting soup, Childe is really a chess king, every step is a last resort. Xiao Chengming smiled bitterly in despair, and the ashes began to spread on his face, "A few days after Wei Chen came back from the Third Highness, he didn't see his son. Now that the seven-step lotus is poisonous, the minister has no face to ask for forgiveness from his son. The sin of disloyalty committed by the minister himself, the minister died without complaint. I just ask my son not to be angry with my Xiao family, and say goodbye to Weichen. ”
Saying that, Xiao Chengming bowed deeply, and his back, which was more than half a hundred years old, hung weakly on the ground, obviously knowing that he was guilty of death, he had given up struggling, and finally left his last wish.
However, when a small porcelain vase appeared in Xiao Chengming's sight, he was instinctively stunned: "Childe?"
"Antidote. Jiang Li leaned down, pinched the porcelain vase with his fingers and lightly put it on the moss ground in front of Xiao Chengming, "Lord Xiao, Qibu Lian, this son dares to do this, and he should do it." In the chess game, disloyalty is the most taboo. Even if you betray half a step, you will be cut down and eradicated, Lord Xiao should know better than me. ”
Xiao Chengming looked at the antidote, looked up at Jiang Li again, and said in a daze: "Yes." Especially Childe, his strategy is ruthless and his power is unparalleled. As long as the people who stand in the way of Childe will return to the underworld, and everyone's lives are under Childe's control. ”
"My son held this porcelain bottle all day today, and regretted it at the last moment, so he gave you the antidote. Lord Xiao, this son is gambling. Jiang Li leaned over and looked directly at Xiao Chengming, his beautiful pupils burning in his eyes.
It was the pupil of the abyss of the night, but there were thousands of fires burning, as if there were tens of millions of pictures in his eyes, an inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood, the son was romantic, and people bowed their heads at just one glance.
Xiao Chengming was dumbfounded. Jiang Li's indifferent and cold words came from his ears: "Lord Xiao, this son is gambling." Bet on you, bet on the Xiao family is not a traitor seeking glory and chasing fame and fortune. The gambling Xiao family is still worthy of the praise of the emperor of the Chen Dynasty. ”
The four words of Emperor Chen Dynasty fell in Xiao Chengming's ears, like firecrackers falling out of thin air, which made his face complicated, and all kinds of thoughts of guilt, sadness, heartache, and regret were mixed up on his face.
Jiang Li squinted slightly: "Qianchao, Chen." Emperor Dachen once praised the Xiao clan of Lanling: the minister of the society and the face of the people. Now the Great Wei Dynasty Chen, the world with five surnames and seven hopes, the world is about to forget, the name of the Lanling Xiao family. Xiao Shi is also confused, confused, and never speaks silently. But this son believes that the Xiao family still has never forgotten the eight words of 'the ministers of the society and the appearance of the people'. ”
Jiang Li straightened up and put his hands behind him. The bottom of his eyes was full of irresistible coldness, and the natural majesty was almost condensed into substance, which was the nobility of the mountains and snow, and the ruthlessness of the world's floating slaughter for a moment.
"Lord Xiao. Don't forget the reason why this son chose Xiao at the beginning, don't forget. The reason why Shaw chose me. Jiang Li paused word by word, and did not hide the shadow guard Zhong Yu who was waiting for the opportunity to move. Whether it is life or death, it is all in Xiao Chengming's answer.
The minister who rewards loyalty, the one who judges. Where the sword goes, the corpse is thousands of miles away. He's such a chess boy. Killing, life, and sin are just discardable pieces in his next perfect chess game.
Xiao Chengming didn't speak, he stared at Jiang Li without hesitation, and Jiang Li also looked at him with sparkling eyes. The evening breeze blew the black bamboo forest, and the feet of Zhong Yu's robe brushed over the mountains and rocks with a slight sound, and there was a sound like a sword.
Suddenly, Xiao Chengming grinned, and there were some old tears in his eyes: "The minister of the society, the appearance of the people." This is the ancestral motto of the Shaw family. It doesn't matter if Chen, or Wei, Lanling Xiao, only loyal and loyal, only ask about the well-being of the people. Emperor Chen was eloquent and strategic, but it was a pity that his descendants were not angry and buried the great rivers and mountains. Now that the Great Wei Dynasty has been a hundred years old, the Lanling Xiao clan has been waiting, waiting for a loyal person to appear again. As for the private visit to the Third Highness, it is just a temptation to test the son. Now, Childe is qualified. There is compassion and Shura means, Gongzi, he should be a loyal person of my Lanling Xiao family. ”
After saying that, Xiao Chengming got up, took a few steps back, gathered his shirt, bowed down, and kowtowed to the ground, which was actually a big salute.
"Lanling Xiao Clan, please meet the Lord. ”
At this moment, Xiao Chengming still has the slightest hint of cringe in the Zichen Palace, and his trembling strands when he replies. His eyebrows and eyes are clear, his eyes are as bright as a sword, and he has his own heroic righteousness in his actions.
Jiang Li stood tall and jade, and accepted this gift. He didn't speak, his eyes crossed the bamboo forest level, and he saw the Guanzhong Plain, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, all of which were like chess, all silently disappeared in his abyss-like pupils.
The bamboo forest is swaying in the middle of the night, and the dark waves on the bamboo sea are surging, and the waves melt into the boundless night.
Soon it's Tanabata. The atmosphere of Dawei Xiangqing quietly flowed.
In Chang'an City, every household is lit up, and every family buys confectionery sake. Daming Palace is also under the eaves of each hall, hanging the jade rabbit osmanthus golden flower bell that should be used for the occasion. The sound of the bell is clear, and the sound of the Buddha is the sound of pounding medicine and cutting laurel in the middle of the month.
At this moment, the Penglai Hall of Daming Palace is silent. Only the palace maids and eunuchs in the hall were driven out and lined up motionless under the corridor.
The door of the palace was pushed open silently, and a bright yellow Luo skirt burst in, ten steps before the throne, and Ying Ying bowed down.
"The concubine visited the emperor. Why didn't the emperor ask the palace people to wait? Empress Wang spoke softly and looked at the emperor Li He in front of the imperial case.
Li He wore a three-chapter Nine Dragons Chu Huang Wenyan embroidered crown, two dragons playing with pearls and red gauze wings, and his pale handsome face was a little cold. The piles of twists and turns on the case seem to have been put aside for a long time and have not been approved, and the ink of the royal wolf hair dripped down and dizzed a large piece.
"It's almost Tanabata. Li He sighed, looked out the window, and didn't care about Queen Wang, "Every time I approach Qixi Festival, I am always restless, and I always have to think of the past that should be forgotten but always remembered. ”
"What the emperor remembers, is it the past or the people in the past?" Queen Wang ignored Li He's slightly changing face, and regardless of whether Li He told her to be flat or not, she got up from her skirt and walked towards the emperor step by step.
"As soon as the jade dew and golden wind meet, they will win countless in the world. The Qixi Festival, touching the scene, and the concubines are not exempt from vulgarity. Queen Wang smiled dignifiedly, but the bottom of her eyes was cold, "Thinking of his death, thinking of his corpse in the wilderness, wrapped in straw mats, but I didn't even see his last face." ”
