One Hundred and Thirty-Three Acts [Providence and Fate] (Medium)
When Lu Weiwen was silent, Liu Fengchen, who had always been arrogant, actually squatted down and gently wiped away the frost and snow that fell between their eyebrows. Seeing Lu Weiwen behind this scene, he was very surprised.
In Lu Weiwen's memory, Liu Fengchen's indifference has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow. He didn't expect that this seemingly indifferent man still had a trace of residual warmth in his heart.
At this moment, Liu is presumptuous and willow is restrained, and he is wearing the same robe as Lu Weiwen. When he first saw them coming, Lu Weiwen was still guessing that these two girls would be someone from Liufu. After all, if you can put on such a mink fur, if you are not a distinguished guest of the Liu family like Lu Weiwen, then you must be like Liu Fengchen, with the blood of the Liu family on your body.
But before, Lu Weiwen had never heard Liu Fengsoul mention that he had two younger sisters, nor had he heard Liu Su talk about his two daughters. At that time, the world often said that "Liu's double mastery", but they never talked about any "Liu's four masters".
Until the moment when they opened their mouths and called Liu Fengchen "brother". Lu Weiwen realized that in fact, the reason why he didn't notice the existence of these two girls in Liufu these days may have nothing to do with whether his news is blocked. It's because Liu Su, the head of the Liu family, is consciously hiding these clues related to them.
As for the purpose, he naturally hopes that his two daughters can spend a good childhood in an environment without too much "hustle and bustle", at least not be entangled in meaningless suffering and troubles.
Between the eyebrows and eyes of the girls, there is a similar arrogance to Liu Su, Liu Fengchen, and Liu Fengsoul, but it is slightly different. Lu Weiwen could find Liu Fengchen, Liu Feng's soul and all the shadows on Liu Su's body in their mannerisms.
The older girl is tall, her eyes are bright, she looks sunny and free, and the smile on her face has not been broken, Lu Weiwen guessed whether her personality should be a little like Liu Feng's soul. After all, he had seen the same smile on Liu Fengsoul's face.
As for the other girl, she seemed a little indifferent compared to the former. The gloom hidden in her eyes was far better than the willow wind dust beside Lu Weiwen at this moment.
Such a look was actually seen before by Lu Weiwen.
It can be said that she is very much like another Liu Su.
An undisguised but equally gloomy willow su.
In the silence, seeing Liu Fengchen whispering softly in their ears, the girls immediately smiled slightly. Then, he shyly waved his hand goodbye to Lu Weiwen: "Goodbye, sir." ”
Then he turned around and went to this snowstorm.
Lu Weiwen, who was thinking about it, didn't hear what they were talking about. The purple willow leaves that are tattooed on the robe come to life in the wind and snow. In the afterglow, the world-famous "Liu's Wind Knife" was slowly pulling the last smile on the corner of his mouth.
"They're my sisters. Tall, elderly, named Liu Fangfang, the third in the family, often with a bright smile on his face, which is very similar to his mother. looks a little thin, introverted, few words, named Liu Xinji, the fourth in the family, the youngest. Liu Fengchen said lightly, "Some time ago, because they were naughty, they broke the glass cup left by their mother. My father was very angry, so he locked them up and released them just now. ”
"Because is Liu Ergongzi awake?" Lu Weiwen added, looking at the direction in which they were leaving. "Shicai, I see the direction they are leaving, they should go to the "Lan" Garden. ”
"Hmm. Liu Fengchen's gaze gradually deepened.
When mentioning Liu Feng's soul, Liu Fengchen, as the eldest brother, did not show undisguised concern as he did when he saw his two younger sisters. Lu Weiwen didn't know what kind of relationship between the two brothers had reached now, and he wanted to find a suitable opportunity to find out, but there was a more important question that Lu Weiwen needed to answer at the moment.
About that "change of light".
"So, how did the gentleman think about it? ”
"Dust boy, do you really want to know?"
"I just want to know, what does the gentleman think about this. ”
In the face of Liu Fengchen's persistence, Lu Weiwen finally hesitated, and then he turned his gaze to the direction of the "Regret" Garden: "Actually, the answer Fengchen Gongzi knows in his heart, he just wants to confirm it with me, right?"
Liu Fengchen did not speak.
Lu Weiwen smiled, knowing that he had found the answer he wanted in Liu Fengchen's silence, so he continued: "Although this matter has always made the entire Liu clan fall into an unavoidable shadow, I believe that Fengchen Gongzi knows it very well. Today, all the things that happened in the past, whether sad or joyful, have proved to us that if there was no Liu Clan, the country might have been torn apart long ago. ”
"Sir also thinks that all this is already doomed?" A trace of sadness flashed in the originally indifferent eyes. In the wind and snow, this arrogant man avoided Lu Weiwen's gaze, and instead raised his eyes and asked: "So we can only silently choose to accept it, right?" ”
Lu Weiwen: "Does the Dust Boy believe in fate?"
Liu Fengchen: "No, I only believe in myself. ”
Lu Weiwen didn't continue to follow Liu Fengchen's words, but silently listened to him talking to himself there, as if he was complaining about something. Today's Liu Fengchen is very different from what Lu had never heard of before and what he learned through other means, including what he had been exposed to during this time.
He saw a lonely and arrogant boy hidden under his armor, revealing a rare tenderness, and he also saw a swordsman who had always been decisive in killing, like a literati and inkman, sentimental.
Lu Weiwen stood aside like this, listening to Liu Fengchen continue to sigh. Between the words, the arrogant son smiled desolately, put down the umbrella in his hand, and turned to reach out to hold the snow falling in the sky.
So the umbrella fell in the snow,
Lu Weiwen didn't pick it up, and neither did Liu Fengchen.
So, the snow fell into the eyebrows.
Inexplicable desolation mixed with the wind,
So, Liu Fengchen kept asking himself:
"So, sir, do you believe in fate?"
Hearing this, Lu Weiwen smiled slightly and said:
"Only chess pieces have a fate. ”
Liu Fengchen, who was originally a little lonely, listened, and turned to look at Lu Weiwen at this time suspiciously. The frost and snow in the wind fell on the eyebrows of the two of them, and Lu Weiwen subconsciously wrapped his robe tightly and continued: "Isn't it, Fengchen Gongzi?"
Liu Fengchen was stunned for a moment, slowly gathered his scattered thoughts, and asked Lu Weiwen: "I believe that before answering this question, Mr. must have roughly understood all the processes and details of the 'Mingguang Change'. ”
Lu Weiwen recalled: "During this time, with the permission of the sect master, I did not hear that in the archives of the Law Division, through Lu You's confession, many details that were missed during the "Mingguang Change" were filled. ”
Liu Fengchen: "So Mr. thinks that how much of Lu You's confession is true and how much is false?"
Lu Weiwen: "Naturally, it's a half-truth. ”
Liu Fengchen: "So, as far as the evidence in hand is concerned, according to Mr., which ones are true and which ones are false." ”
Lu Weiwen smiled slightly: "I don't think that the true and false can be put aside for the time being, and the prince of Fengchen should pay more attention to why Lu You adulterated his confession." ”
"Naturally, it is to intensify the contradiction between the clan and the Yun clan. Liu Fengchen recalled, "In Lu You's confession, today's clan seems to have become a heinous existence that has brought disaster to the country and the people. Regarding the past of the "Mingguang Change", he only focused on my father and my Liu family, who were able to quickly assemble nearly 70,000 soldiers of the clan in a short period of time, and took the opportunity to falsely accuse the clan of planning for a long time to force the Mingguang armor to rebel, but he did not mention at all how many of the 70,000 disciples of the clan died in the second invasion of Mexico, and how many of them were disabled for life. ”
"Lu You is the best at avoiding the heavy and light. Lu Weiwen sighed, "The reason why he dared to say this was actually because he caught the arrogance of the Liu family, and he never cared what outsiders thought of him." Even more disdainful of explanation. ”
Liu Fengchen: "Indeed, although I don't bother to explain this, it doesn't mean that I will turn a blind eye to the issues related to Liu's reputation. ”
His words made Lu Weiwen fall silent for a moment.
In fact, Lu Weiwen understood it very early. Over the years, as the head of the Liu family and the head of the clan, Liu Su, on the surface, has been in the clan, but in fact, he has always been concerned about the country. He single-handedly took on the "Mingguang Change", which caused losses to the entire Shuguo clan, and worked hard to alleviate the conflict between the clan and the royal family, and then avoided the Shuguo from being torn apart in the process.
This can be seen from the subtleties through the sacrifices that Liu Su has made for the country over the years, as well as the various things he has carried. However, because of this, the current Liu family has also been pushed to the opposite side of the Yun family for some reason because of the position of the clan.
This is what Liu Su wants to change, but in the current view, I am afraid it is not what Liu Fengchen wants. What Lu Weiwen didn't expect was that Liu Fengchen, the eldest son of the Liu family, who had been working hard for his father, was unconsciously or consciously embarking on a different path in the same direction as Liu Su at this moment.
Before Lu Weiwen could speak again, he heard Liu Fengchen continue: "Sir, have you ever thought about why Lu You insists on provoking a grudge between the clan and the Yun clan?"
Lu Weiwen pondered: "Because he knows that over the years, the 'Mingguang Change' has always been a scar between the Liu family and the Yun family that can never be erased, and from time to time it has become a sharp blade between the two families that scars each other. Whether intentionally or unintentionally. ”
Liu Fengchen: "And now he wants to make this wound bigger." ”
Lu Weiwen: "Lu You wants to help the Yun clan regain the right to speak." ”
Liu Fengchen: "So he needs to prove his worth." ”
Lu Weiwen: "Only in this way can he live." ”
Liu Fengchen: "But, in the final analysis. Now all that the Liu clan has obtained in the Shu Kingdom is that the Yun clan should have repaid to our Liu clan. Whether it's accolades, wealth or status. ”
"There are things that you deserve but you can't ask for. ”
Liu Fengchen: "If you deserve it, why can't you ask for it?"
Lu Weiwen: "Because, there may be temptations, suspicions, dissatisfactions, and traps." It's poison, sugar-coated poison. ”
Liu Fengchen: "Then why do you want to give it?"
Lu Weiwen: "It's just a formality. ”
Liu Fengchen sneered: "The emperor's thoughts, it's really ridiculous!"
Lu Weiwen: "People's hearts are already complicated, not to mention the emperor's mind. ”
Liu Fengchen: "However, now we have obtained these from the Liu family. Almost all of them were forcibly stuffed by Yun Chen, so according to Mr. 's intentions, this Yun Chen wanted to put our Liu clan to death from the beginning!"
Lu Weiwen: "Maybe I thought about it, but he didn't do it." Otherwise, now the entire Shu Kingdom has been torn apart, and it may even have been completely erased from the territory of Dongji by the wolves who are always around. ”
Liu Fengchen sneered: "In the final analysis, Yun Chen still wants our Liu clan to saddle his horse for him without asking for anything in return." But they have to watch out for us. ”
Lu Weiwen: "Perhaps, it is not the Liu clan that the Lord of Yunchen is wary of. Although he may have been wary, I believe that in the heart of Yun Chen's country lord, the sect master is still his best friend, brother, and relative. ”
Liu Fengchen: "How can you prove it?"
Lu Weiwen: "Just because he knows that the clan has begun to infiltrate the politics of the country, but he is still willing to let the Wind Soul Prince serve as the commander of the Frost Sword Guard; In the end, they almost lost each other. ”
Liu Fengchen: "Adults should be responsible for their own actions. What's more, he is also the head of a country. ”
Lu Weiwen: "Yun Chen was originally the "king" appointed by Emperor Chu, he can choose not to bow his head and always be the lonely "king" on the throne. The Dust Boy can't because of that "Mingguang Change", which originated from the insistence of the Lord of Yunchen, so he takes it for granted that all that the Liu family has obtained now is what the Liu family deserves. ”
"My mother just died in that right and wrong that shouldn't have been. Between the words, Liu Fengchen's eyes were slightly sad, "If my mother was still alive, my father would not be as depressed as he is now, and my third sister would not have to pretend to be strong like just now, and the poor fourth sister would not have been so gloomy since she was a child." Even my second brother, who often doesn't go home, at least remembers to go home and see. Obviously, it was his Yunchen who insisted on going his own way, why did I let the Liu family pay such a painful price?"
Liu Fengchen's words made Lu Weiwen silent for a moment. Lu Weiwen's silence was not speechless, but to spare time for Liu Fengchen to calm down.
The snow was still falling while the wind was blowing. When you raise your eyes, the purple leaves and clouds and willows stand proudly in the cold winter, supporting a side of spring. Liu Fengchen didn't speak. But I saw that there was snow under the umbrella left on the ground.
Around, there are occasional people in the house passing by, I don't know why, but I don't dare to ask more, let alone stop and watch, or peek from a distance. Because, they all know that Liu Fengchen will definitely find himself and will inevitably be scolded when the time comes.
After thinking about it, Lu Weiwen took a deep breath, and then said to Liu Fengchen in a very flat tone: "Actually, Yun Chen has also paid a very painful price, even his life. ”
At this moment, Lu Weiwen no longer called Yun Chen the lord of the country. Given that Liu Fengchen has too many complaints about Yun Chen. Lu Weiwen was worried that he would always mention Yun Chen in front of him that he was the lord of the country, which would only increase his resistance, so he sorted out his wording and continued to Liu Fengchen: "This 'Mingguang Change' is the fate of the Su Kingdom and the Yun Clan, but it is definitely not the fate of the Liu Clan. Although, at the moment, the Liu clan still plays an important chess piece. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Liu Fengchen wondered, "If someone uses my Liu clan as a pawn, according to Mr.'s previous theory, this 'Mingguang Change' is the will of heaven for my Liu clan?"
Lu Weiwen: "If it weren't for this "Mingguang Change", the Liu family and the Yun family might still be like brothers. The clan will always serve the Yun clan and dare not have any covetousness. ”
Liu Fengchen: "However, it still happened after all. ”
And this scene will be the situation that some people have been longing for for a long time. Lu Weiwen paused and continued, "Yun Chen lost her lover in the process, and the Lord of Yun Ji also tried to get rid of her mother, and the entire Shu Kingdom also lost her mother because of this. ”
Liu Fengchen: "Liu Xijun is also my aunt. ”
Lu Weiwen: "So, in general, everything that the Liu clan has lost in this turmoil is no less than that of the Yun clan." Clear-sighted people look at politics, and ordinary people look at family affection. And what most people think represents the human heart. ”
Liu Fengchen: "Most people don't understand politics. ”
Lu Weiwen: "But they understand that Yun Chen just lost his lover in this chaos." But the sect master lost his sister and wife, and the son and daughter of the Liu family lost their mother who was supposed to accompany them to grow up. ”
Liu Fengchen's eyes were slightly sad, and he didn't say much.
But Lu Weiwen continued: "Out of empathy, people will be extremely tolerant of any actions of the Liu clan and think it is reasonable, if the sect master represents the entire clan at this time, then the behavior of the entire clan, no matter how excessive, will be understood." And some people with a heart can put on the cloak of the clan at this time and plan whatever they want to do. ”
Liu Fengchen: "Sir, do you mean that someone is secretly manipulating all this, and it is from within our clan?"
Lu Weiwen smiled slightly, and then said, "So I suspect that Lu You has a deal with a few people within the clan. There were things he knew in too much detail, and these things weren't supposed to be known to him. Of course, this is just my speculation, and there is no real evidence. ”
Hearing this, Liu Fengchen seemed to realize something: "What Mr. said, has my father already noticed it?"
Lu Weiwen replied: "In fact, what I have admired most about the sect master is that the sect master dares to fight for the will of heaven with fate, and dares to turn the chess pieces into chess. He calculated every step, laid cobwebs from the shadows, and drove away the praying mantis step by step, so that the praying mantis had to hunt cicadas in order to survive. ”
Liu Fengchen: "Finally, I will release the yellow finches." ”
Lu Weiwen: "I used to think that I was a praying mantis or a yellow finch. But, at the end of the day, I'm just a cobweb. For Lu You, both horizontal and vertical are dead, but when you are in a chess game, how can you notice it?"
Liu Fengchen: "So by now, does Mr. know who this praying mantis is?"
Lu Weiwen smiled slightly, grabbed and said, "This, it's not important for the time being." At the moment, this praying mantis is only temporarily out of the yellow finch's field of vision, but as long as my cobweb is still here, nothing is a big problem. ”
Liu Fengchen: "So, is the "Bright Light Change" in the past related to this praying mantis now?"
Lu Weiwen: "Naturally, there is a connection, but I think the most important thing to pay attention to should be the bigger secret behind this "Mingguang Change". ”
