320. Obey the Mandate of Heaven (3)
Li Lin on the side was secretly doing his own calculations, but he did not ignore the earnest whispers of the two people beside him, and was inadvertently inspired by their whispers, Li Lin suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with a solution that could be regarded as the best of both worlds for him. He took the initiative to propose: "It's not early now, so it's better to leave this matter to me for the time being." After I find out the general power that Gao Liwen is hiding, I will consult with you. Don't worry, if this matter is to be resolved, you must be missing, then I have no reason to deceive you. β
"Good. Then I'll wait for Uncle Li's good news. β
"Hmm. After answering, Li Lin crossed Gao Ran again, and turned to Zhao Feng and said, "Since Brother Zhao likes the room on the left, then please feel free." I will sleep in the right room tonight. In the future, as long as Brother Zhao likes it, you are welcome to come to this inn at any time. β
Zhao Feng didn't speak, but just looked at him intently with a look that made Li Lin unable to see any of his thoughts and emotions, which made Li Lin feel inexplicably embarrassed. I had no choice but to stop talking in a witty way, and after nodding to each other with Gao Ran, I left first.
"Who is this man? Are you very close?"
"Hehe, no matter how close I am, I can't kiss you! I don't want to think about it, who else in this world will love me more than you? Even my master is not as good as you!"
As he spoke, Gao Ran naturally wrapped himself around one of Zhao Feng's arms. And Zhao Feng had already ignored Gao Ran's avoidance, and only remembered that she said that he was the closest, even closer than Zhao Yi, and she was in a good mood because of this. As for the rest, he had already been thrown out of the clouds at the moment.
ββ
Following.
Li Lin and the two An family members all set off early, and went their separate ways. Only Gao Ran and Zhao Feng next door to her slept until three o'clock in the morning.
It's just because there is only one thing that matters most to her today: waiting for Ji Muqing to come to see her with Zuo Yi.
She counted the time, thinking that no matter how early Ji Muqing was, he would have to wait until all the ceremonies and etiquette that must be given up and must be done for all the royal relatives, nobles, and officials to see were all held, and then he could come.
So even if she slept until the evening and woke up, she estimated that it would still be in time. - In addition, it is inconvenient for Ji Muqing to expose his whereabouts too high-profile at this time, so even if he can indeed be free in the evening, he may not dare to choose this time to swagger out of the palace to meet her. Therefore, Gao Randa never thought that he would be able to see him in the daytime from the beginning.
Sure enough, after Ji Muqing held the succession ceremony that had been deliberately simple, but still very solemn and cumbersome, and after he finally survived enough to remove all the non-cronies around him on the pretext of going to bed, he hurriedly changed his outfit with Zuo Yi and came to see Gao Ran.
And after nightfall, Gao Ran had already ordered people to keep an eye out for them who might appear near the inn at any time, and asked people to take them through the back door of the backyard and take them directly to her guest room once they were found. She was waiting for them in the guest room. - For this reason, Gao Ran is ready to stay awake tonight.
But unlike yesterday, today Zhao Feng had to stay in Gao Ran's room anyway, and said that he couldn't tolerate anyone else in her room in the middle of the night - unless he was also allowed to stay there.
Gao Ran thought that this matter might really have something to do with Zhao Feng in the end, so he followed his wishes.
As a result, when Ji Muqing and Zuo Yi were brought to the room by Xiao Er, Zhao Feng was already asleep on Gao Ran's bed.
"Shhh
After the three of them deliberately walked lightly to the coffee table and sat down, Gao Ran explained in a low voice: "He is my little uncle, although his temperament is a little eccentric, but there is no malice. Rest assured, he will never do anything against me, so there is no need to hide it from him. β
After Ji Muqing heard this, he deliberately glanced at Zuo Yi, and after Zuo Yi nodded affirmatively at him, he finally talked to Gao Ran with confidence: "Okay, then let's get down to business." Zuo Yi has explained to me in detail the ins and outs of the matter you mentioned last night, but you should also know that even if I don't pursue it, I must give 'them' an explanation, otherwise it will be difficult to block the mouth......s of the people."
"It's not difficult, but I have to confirm one thing with you first: do you really know why I want to clean up the aftermath for my second uncle?"
"Hmm. Don't worry, I'm not an ignorant person. The death of my father, I know that it was also his own fault...... But he is the Banana Emperor, so his death will not be just his personal vendetta. Even if I understand your good intentions, and I am willing to take care of the overall situation, I will not blame the past for the sake of the overall situation, but as the Banana Emperor, I still have to give 'them' an explanation!"
"Well, I understand......"
When he said this, Gao Ran thoughtlessly glanced back and forth at Ji Muqing and Zuo Yi in front of him. Just now, when Ji Muqing was worried about her explanation, he actually chose to ask Zuo Yi to verify whether what she said was credible?ββ the time he looked at Zuo Yi, she could see it clearly and remember it deeply.
What does this mean?ββ at least Gao Ran intuitively felt that something must have happened to the two of them last night, which caused Ji Muqing to trust Zuo Yi's judgment more than to believe her today.
But she said it clearly just now - Zhao Feng will never do anything unfavorable to her - isn't the meaning of this obvious?ββ she and Ji Muqing are now in a relationship with the same fate, since it won't be bad for her, can it still be unfavorable to him?
But even so, why is Ji Muqing still more willing to believe Zuo Yi?
No matter how Gao Ran thought about it, he felt that this was very weird......
"Could it be that the two of them made some ulterior deal last night? What did Uncle Zuo promise him? Why can't I see through this Ji Muqing since I came back?"
But at the moment, their strange and unreasonable "tacit understanding" made Gao Ran feel more and more that there must be some secret hidden from her, but she still deliberately pretended not to care even if she noticed their abnormality - at least, deliberately ignoring them was more likely to make them believe in her disguise than not seeing their anomaly.
She deliberately let them know that she was aware of their anomaly, but she also deliberately let them know that she didn't care about it - it wasn't her business, after all. At the same time, she also continued to reply to Ji Muqing on a case-by-case basis:
"Well, I'll take care of it. But you must first promise me that as long as I hand over the body of the second uncle and let you give an explanation to 'them', you must let this matter stop and there will be no more trouble. Otherwise, you should know the style of our Medical Valley: once you decide to take revenge, unless the whole sect dies and there is no one to live, you Ji clan will not even want to live!
"And the disciples of the Medical Valley, although the number is small, but a large part of them have very complex backgrounds, and they are also very implicated-and even have the influence of the whole country! Therefore, I advise you not to be lucky, saying to me on the surface that you will not retaliate, but in fact you are still thinking of waiting for the opportunity to invade the Medical Valley, if that is the case, then you should be prepared to not only be exterminated in the future, but also the country may be exterminated!
"Don't say I didn't remind you, I helped Second Uncle clean up the aftermath, but it wasn't all for Second Uncle Uncle, nor for Yigu, I actually couldn't help myself. Have you thought about it, if Yigu really wants to be an enemy of your court, then Yigu doesn't have to deliberately treat the second uncle as a traitor.
"In fact, the disciple of Yigu, from the moment he entered the master's door, he is destined to be a person of Yigu until his death - unless he is removed from Yigu and punished as a traitor. And the traitors of the Medical Valley have always had only one fate, that is, deathββ if not from the pursuit of other fellow sects in the name of cleaning up the portal, they will also die from the poisoning of the secret poison in their own body that has no cure.
"So, even if it's just for myself not to be affected by this vendetta in the future, I have to clean up the aftermath for the second uncle. Moreover, Yigu has actually taken the initiative to make concessions, and is willing to make an exception to take the initiative to remove a disciple who has never violated the door rules for the first time in order to quell this grudge fight, and use her life to avoid that the disciples of Yigu must avenge the second uncle at all costs in order to abide by the door rules in the future. - You don't want to see such consequences, do you?
"So, you'd better take this kindness from the Medical Valley. Otherwise, even if it is just for self-preservation, the first enemy you will encounter in the Medical Valley will be meββ but you are destined not to hurt me in the slightest in this life. In this way, you think it is good to face me as an enemy?ββ and you must not be naΓ―ve enough to think that I will not actively hurt you or hurt myself in order to stop you. - You can't afford to take this risk!"
"Your Majesty, you still believe what Miss Gao 2 said. Zuo Yi's indifferent interjection undoubtedly added the last fire to Gao Ran's warning just now, and burned the last bit of luck that really existed in Ji Muqing's heart to ashes.
And seeing such a strange interaction between the two of them on the side, Gao Ran felt even more ominous in his heart-not afraid that Ji Muqing might be unfavorable to her, but afraid that he would be unfavorable to Zuo Yi! If she was not mistaken, it was likely that Zuo Yi reached some kind of agreement with Ji Muqing after he went back last night that only the two of them knew, in exchange for Ji Muqing's trust in him! And as for what kind of price to use in exchange for Ji Muqing's trust, in exchange for his willingness to temporarily tolerate Zuo Yi's assistance, and still be so important to his words?ββ Although Gao Ran didn't want his expectations to be true, he couldn't deny that that kind of price was indeed the most weighty......
"Jiaohuang, please rest assured, I know that you are embarrassed, and I also know that this matter is very involved, so I promise that I will bring back the body of the second uncle within three days, so that you can give an account to 'them'.
"But please also remember that the identity of the second uncle is not only the imperial relative of your Ji clan, but also the disciple of our medical valley. Therefore, whether it is to protect the face of your royal family, or to not offend the face of our Medical Valley, I advise you, no matter how much you hate her, you must not do anything to insult the corpse! Otherwise, even if I don't pursue it, the other disciples of the Medical Valley will definitely not let you go!
"I kindly remind you that once you are targeted by the Medical Valley, it will be difficult to save your life even if it is the most powerful Heavenly Pavilion at the moment.
"The world only knows that Yigu has always acted maverick and does its own thing, but they have never known that what they know more about Yigu is just their own imagination. - because the medical valley is so different from them, and this difference makes them fear and hate, but they are powerless to change - not thinking about changing themselves, but thinking about how to change the medical valley......
"However, as a disciple of Yigu, I can tell you on behalf of Yigu that those gossips that are prevalent in the world are almost all wishful thinking of the world about Yigu. Their fears were of their own imagination and not really caused by the Healing Valley. In fact, there are actually few people who have really encountered the poisonous hands of Yigu since the establishment of Yigu.
"Yigu has always followed the creed of 'well water does not interfere with river water', and we just want to live our own lives. As for what you think and do, as long as you don't get in the way of us, we won't take the initiative to hurt you.
"It's just that, due to the current world, if we want to continue to be alone, then we can only moderately 'follow the customs': if we don't let the world know that the medical valley does have the ability to easily get rid of any targeted person or force, then the world will never dare to offend or even hinder us easily out of fear.
"Therefore, even if you put aside the grievances between the second uncle and the previous Jiaohuang, if you only think about it from Yigu's own standpoint, in fact, the reason why Yigu is willing to condone my second uncle's revenge is not only for her own long-cherished wish, but also because Yigu wants to take this opportunity to announce to the world: even if it is the king of a country who offends Yigu, he still has to pay the corresponding, even several times the price for his offense to Yigu!
"Jiaohuang, I don't expect you to understand my second uncle's hatred for your father, and I don't expect you to understand her- Even if she has a common enmity with your father, she only wants to kill him, and does not want to kill you together like the entire clan that almost wiped out the second uncle's bloodline, and even ordered you to succeed to the throne in order not to involve the medical valley, in order to stabilize the government in time and avoid plunging the banana country into greater turmoil, and she is willing to use her own life to end her revenge in order to appease your anger - I don't expect you to understand this, but you must know that the medical valley is not afraid of your anger. Even if you really want to be the enemy of the Medical Valley, if it is only against you, then with the current strength of the Medical Valley, it is more than enough!
"The reason why Yigu doesn't want to fight with your court is just to stop at the point, so that you and the world can see clearly: what we want is just to live our own lives, and if you don't hinder us, we won't take the initiative to hurt you, but if you hurt us first, like my second uncle, then even if you are the king of a country, sooner or later you will have to pay a corresponding, even several times the price for what you do!
This is the real purpose of the reason why Yigu wants to indulge my second uncle in revenge, and then force me to clean up the aftermath.
"Banana Emperor, everything is based on the overall situation. The grievances of the previous generation, let it be settled in the previous generation. What you and I really need to do is to remember the lessons and look to the present and the foreseeable future. But if you don't listen to my advice, then I can help you do great things or destroy you.
"Besides, disciples like me with complex backgrounds are by no means a minority in the Medical Valley, and we have long been destined to be closely connected and inseparable from the Medical Valley in this life. Therefore, if you dare to be the enemy of the Medical Valley, then we will spare no effort to protect the Medical Valley in order to protect ourselves.
"Are you sure that with your own or all the strength of the Banana Kingdom's court, you can really deal with me, us, and the combined forces of almost all the great forces of several countries, including you, including your Banana Kingdom?ββ and even if this is the case, we are only the first level that you must defeat if you try to invade the Medical Valley.
"So, are you still sure you want to be the enemy of the Medical Valley?"
Hearing this, Ji Muqing's face was already pale, he knew that Gao Ran was not intimidating him, what she said was really the truth. But it was precisely because he believed that it was the truth that he felt even more powerless. After a long time, he reluctantly sneered: "So, I have no choice?"
"Hmm. You don't have a choice. It's just that unlike before, I'm now making you aware of this fact. However, you are not alone, because I have no choice. In fact, the two of us are also connected by the same fate, and neither is better than the other. So, don't embarrass me, otherwise, don't say that you won't be able to pass my level, and even if you can, there are several people behind me who are stronger than me and the forces behind them standing in the way. And you have to really get by before you really survive the 'first hurdle'." It's just the first level. - You, don't think about it like that......"
"Hehe, hehe, hehe......" After Ji Muqing heard this, he suddenly laughed inexplicably.
Although he couldn't hear the emotion, it made people feel cold and permeate his heart - this unexpectedly coincided with the feeling that Gao Ran had with the inexplicable laughter when he was forced to subdue the Tongxin Gu that day.
Although Ji Muqing didn't say anything after that, he got up and left directly. And Zuo Yi also left with him immediately, and did not give Gao Ran any chance to talk with him alone for a while, but looking at the backs of their departure, Gao Ran already knew in his heart: Ji Muqing would never dare to have delusions again, and there must be some secrets between him and Zuo Yi that she could not know, and it was still a very ominous secret.
