Chapter 454: A Moonlit Night Conversation Between Two Men
Night, extremely quiet. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info nothing but the occasional night bird fluttering and a few ill-intentioned chirps.
Therefore, when Zhang Jia came, Li Ke heard it from a long distance.
Zhang Jiaxian landed under the nanmu tree in the front yard, moving casually, not afraid of being discovered at all.
One of the guards quickly shouted, "Who?"
"I am a distinguished guest of the King of Shu, a contemptible Hedong Zhang family, please pass it on. Zhang Jia's voice was clear and quiet, and he was polite.
Li Ke even heard a little calmness and a little smile from this voice.
"Your Excellency, please wait for me to tell the King of Shu later. "The guards have already received orders from their superiors: if a distinguished guest is visiting tonight, they are not allowed to stop it.
"Good. Zhang Jia's voice was not slow.
Li Ke, who was meditating on the Luohan bed, slowly opened his eyes and looked at the door of the main hall, where the moonlight shone obliquely through the silk screen, falling a hazy soft light.
After a while, the footsteps of the guards sounded, and before he stepped into the main hall, Li Ke said, "You should quickly invite Zhang's Langjun to come." ”
The guard was stunned for a moment, and then understood that his prince was good at kung fu, and he must have heard Fang Cai's conversation, so he answered and asked Zhang Jia.
After a while, Zhang Jia came with the guards, and without the slightest courtesy of guests, he failed to pass the word and went straight into the main hall, but signaled the guards to retreat.
"You may be seated. Li Ke didn't get up either, only raised his hand casually and pointed to the guest seat.
Zhang Jia, dressed in gray and straight, with a golden crown and tied his hair, stood proudly in front of the screen. He just smiled at Li Ke's arrogant attitude. Then, he sat down unceremoniously, a fluorescent butterfly with blue light flowing on the tip of his right middle finger.
"What are you looking for me?" Zhang Jia got straight to the point.
"Someone wants to put Ah Zhi to death. Li Ke also went straight.
Zhang Jia's face changed slightly, and his eyes narrowed slightly, like an extremely dangerous leopard. He looked at Li Ke with a serious face, and immediately chuckled, "What's so strange about this? Isn't there always someone who wants to put Ah Zhi to death?"
"Is it your person?" Li Ke just wanted to know his answer. Never answer meaningless questions, such as Zhang Jia's ironic question.
When Zhang Jia heard Li Ke's question, he immediately became angry, and asked rhetorically: "What do you mean? I will harm Azhi?"
"Don't you have an ancestor in the Zhang family? Don't forget, who killed her in the previous life. Li Ke doesn't want to talk too much about irrelevant things with people he doesn't like, he only needs to achieve his own purpose when he speaks.
"The surname is Li, what are you talking about when you came to me?" Zhang Jia stood up with a "whoosh" and his face was full of anger.
In his previous life, the stupidest thing he ever did was to kill Ah Zhi for the so-called Zu Xun. Although he chose to kill with a knife to make Ah Zhi less painful, he also lost his life afterwards. But after all, it was his most secret pain.
God gave him the opportunity to be reborn back to the age of six, the moment he opened his eyes, he saw his six-year-old self, thought of the grievances in his previous life, and thought of Ah Zhi who was stabbed to death by his own hands, and cried.
His mother was startled and hurriedly questioned him. He shook his head and said it was okay, it was okay, he was just too happy. Mother didn't know what he was happy about. But he himself knew that he finally had the opportunity to make up for the regrets of his previous life.
He secretly swore that in this life, he would still be the patriarch of the Zhang family, and find a way to kill that annoying ancestor Xun first. Go to his uncle's ancestral teachings. Of course, it is more important to meet Ah Zhi before Li Ke, put her by his side, become the wife of the patriarch of the Zhang family, and protect her from happiness and peace all her life.
But after a lot of hardships, he became the patriarch of the Zhang clan, and he was ecstatic to find that he didn't have the disgusting ancestral training in his previous life.
But God doesn't fulfill people's wishes. Ah Zhi still met Li Ke first, and seemed to have an instinctive rejection of him. After getting along, he gradually relieved, and vowed to protect Ah Zhi well in this life.
"What are you angry about, what are you panicking, is it really you?" Li Ke glanced at him lightly.
"Everyone has hidden wounds, and you're a very unauthentic person. Phew. Zhang Jia darkened his face and was very displeased.
"Tsk, Hedong Zhang's cultivation only stops there. Li Ke pouted.
"You come to me, and if there is nothing to do, I will go. Zhang Jia got up, paced with his hands in his hands, and made a gesture to leave.
Li Ke ignored Zhang Jia's joys, sorrows, and stays, and just said: "I'll tell you the truth." In the last life, after you killed her, I checked the so-called ancestral training of your family. Since the end of the Han Dynasty, your Zhang clan has regarded yourself as the Chosen One. Therefore, you killed Ah Zhi because she killed the crown prince and Queen Wei, and directly pointed the finger at the King of Jin and the Wu clan guarded by your Zhang clan. If she destroys the King of Jin and the Wu clan, she will put me on the throne of God. Your Hedong Zhang clan has failed the grace of heaven's choice. ”
"Yes. Zhang Jia thought of this ancestral training in his previous life, his steps paused, and his mood darkened.
"Have you never doubted this so-called ancestral teaching?" asked Li Ke.
Zhang Jia was silent. In his previous life, he was the patriarch, because it was difficult to have both ancestral training and love, he killed the woman he loved with his own hands, and in the end it was difficult to live and committed suicide. At the moment of his death, he especially hated the so-called ancestral teaching, and it was also at that moment that he hated to think: The world is going, why should the Zhang family bear it? Is there really a heavenly choice?
In this life, he was reborn and came back, and after many hardships to become a quasi-heir, he suddenly found that there was no such ancestor at all. The seventh ancestor Zhang Ye did not leave any ancestral teachings, but only left a history manual, which was to the effect that he warned the heads of the family how to preserve the strength of the Zhang family. At the same time, the other eight families who had become the Chosen One together with the Zhang family in their previous lives had no contact with the Zhang family at all, and it was not an alliance at all.
The Hedong Zhang clan after his rebirth is very different from the Hedong Zhang clan in the previous life, the only thing that is the same is that the selection of talents is still cruel, and the various advanced technologies left by the ancestors of the first generation still exist.
Li Ke saw that he was silent, so he said: "The direction of the world, the operation of the world should follow its own rules. I always think that the law of the world should be 'the survival of the fittest' as Ah Zhi said, and the so-called 'natural selection' is also. And your ancestral teachings of the Zhang clan in Hedong are very ridiculous, and they are completely against the laws of nature. ”
"Hedong Zhang's family, not the king of Shu to judge. Zhang Jia said coldly.
"This king is not a judge, but only a matter of facts. Li Ke's tone was calm and serious.
"To make a long story short, I don't think the King of Shu and I are the ones to talk to. Zhang Jia stood up, standing in front of the silk screen, and looked at Li coldly.
Li Ke's expression remained unmoved, still calm and serious: "This king didn't talk to you, he just wanted to confirm something. ”
"Then you say. Zhang Jia was impatient.
Li Ke turned a blind eye to Zhang Jia's urging, but thought slowly for a while before saying, "Your so-called holy relics, according to Ah Zhi, should be some kind of high-tech items from the future. So, your patriarchs are actually a ridiculous prank by one of your ancestors. ”
"Hugh is talking nonsense. Zhang Jia shouted.
At the same time, he only felt a pain in his heart, as if someone was pulling it his heart.
In his previous life, according to the record in the ancestor's essays, "If it happens to be a chance, it can cross time and space." Here and there, or thousands of years ago, 10,000 years later. People, souls, and spirits can all be", combined with Ah Zhi's various actions, he was sure that Ah Zhi did not belong to this time and space, but should come from the future.
Now, he suddenly heard Li Ke say that Ah Zhi's relict of the Zhang family may be a high-tech item from the future. He only felt that his heart was throbbing, and Ah Zhi was really from the future. He just thought about her and Li Ke talking, and he felt even more that the road ahead was barren, and he couldn't find any way out.
"It's very likely. Li Ke said.
"Even if it's true, what does it have to do with what you're going to tell me tonight?" Zhang Jia tried his best to suppress a raging nameless fire, trying to calm himself.
Li Ke slowly got up from the Luohan bed, stretched his waist, and then asked, "Zhang really didn't want to attack Ah Zhi?"
"In this life, the Zhang family has no so-called ancestral teaching, how can he deal with Ah Zhi?" Zhang Jialang replied, his tone was very unfriendly.
Li Ke was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "There is really no ancestral training?"
Zhang Jia shook his head and said very firmly: "Really not." ”
"That's good. I'll believe you for once. Li Ke nodded.
Zhang Jia also ignored it and said directly: "What did you find?" Say it quickly, don't spit out, it's not a gentleman at all. ”
Li Ke looked at him and said, "You, me, and Ah Zhi have all received God's mercy and come back to life." Moreover, you must have noticed that there are many similarities between this life and the previous life, but there are many differences. Some things that should have happened didn't happen at all, and some things that shouldn't have happened happened. The simplest is Azhi's identity. In her previous life, she was a beautiful daughter of the Yang family, and she was pampered, but in this life, she had a tortuous and humble life......
"And then?" Zhang Jia didn't want to listen to this kind of question that he had thought about thousands of times, so he unceremoniously interrupted Li Ke's ramblings.
"I think maybe someone came here from that plane, just like the three of us. And this person is most likely my enemy with Ah Zhi. Li Ke said slowly.
Zhang Jia's body trembled, his eyes looked at Li Ke fiercely like a knife, and asked in a deep voice, "Is there any evidence?"
"Nope. Li Ke shook his head very dryly.
"Then why do you say this?" Zhang Jia asked unkindly.
"Once upon a time, when I was alone, I thought what luck it was. However, when I met you and Ah Zhi, I suddenly felt that this kind of thing can happen to me and to others. This is not unusual. Li Ke said slowly.
"Based on this delusional assumption, you asked my people to notify me to come quickly? Do you know how expensive it is to raise a night butterfly? Do you want to reimburse the expenses?" Zhang Jia said angrily, the butterfly on the tip of his finger was still fanning its wings, but its brilliance had dimmed, and only a faint outline remained.
"I don't think it's delusional. Yesterday, Ah Zhi met someone in the Yang Clan Academy and calculated, thanks to Ah Zhi's talent, otherwise Ah Zhi would have been disabled if he didn't die yesterday. Li Ke said.
Zhang Jia's hand froze, and the night butterfly instantly shattered into dust, and the blue fine dust circled around his fingertips, and then dissipated into the moonlight.
"Do you know who the other party is?" Zhang Jia's voice was very calm, so calm that he felt terrible.
Li Ke shook his head and said, "It is said that it is the old style of the Yang family's horse breeding. ”
"In this matter, the Yang family must give Ah Zhi an explanation. I haven't settled the account of their persecution of Ah Zhi, and they still dare to run rampant. Zhang Jia's calm tone was ruthless.
"Maybe it's Yang, maybe it's not Yang. Before this is known, we do not know who the enemy is hiding in the shadows. Li Ke said.
Zhang Jia glanced at him, snorted unhappily, and said, "How did Ah Zhi fall in love with you? ”
"I don't care about you. Li Ke glanced at Zhang Jia.
"I don't want to bother with you, and I don't want to spend a quarter of an hour more on such a moonlit night with someone I hate. Say what you think. Zhang Jia also expressed his disgust with Li Ke.
Li Ke didn't care about his disgust, and he didn't like Zhang Jia either. So, he was not affected by his emotions at all, and continued: "I originally thought that as soon as the matter of the Famous Sect Alliance was resolved, Ah Zhi would be safe for the time being. At least for now, she's not enough for people to get rid of her. However, some people can't wait to get rid of Ah Zhi at any time. Well, it can only say one thing-"
"The person behind has seen Ah Zhi's true strength and wants to get rid of her before she becomes a climate. Zhang Jia took Li Ke's words.
"Yes. Li Ke glanced at him.
Zhang Jia frowned, realizing the seriousness of this matter. He paced back and forth, pacing faster and faster, and when he turned around for the third time, he bumped into a pot of orchids in the main hall.
He staggered, looked at Li Ke hatefully, gritted his teeth and said, "It's all you, you know that it will bring her an unfortunate fate, why do you still appear in her life?"
Li Ke was stunned for a moment, what he wanted from waking up from rebirth was to become stronger and stronger, to find Ah Zi, to protect her. He never thought of not meeting Ah Zi. If you don't meet Ah Zi, what's the point of this rebirth?
"If you don't appear in her life, I will protect her, she will be with me, as the patriarch's wife of the Zhang clan in Hedong, and she will have honor, power, and happiness. The more Zhang Jia spoke, the more angry he became.
"But—" Li Ke hesitated slightly.
"You are just selfish, and you never thought that in her previous life, her tragic fate was all brought to her by you. Zhang Jia sneered. Yes, in his previous life, if he hadn't been selected as a candidate for patriarch and thrown out of the closed training, he would not have made Ah Zhi fall in love with Li Ke, and finally tried every means to marry Li Ke, just as he was his brother. Then, he will not kill his most beloved person with his own hands.
"However, if you don't meet her, what's the point of being reborn?" Li Ke said solemnly.
This sentence made Zhang Jia also silent. yes, what's the point of being reborn without meeting her?
He was silent for a moment, but he said unwillingly: "Even if you want to meet her, you can change your identity." In such troubled times, isn't it easy for you to change your identity? What kind of prince and prince, your talent, your identity is hated. ”
Zhang Jia gritted his teeth more and more when he spoke, quite hating iron and not steel.
Li Ke looked sad, smiled bitterly, and asked: "Did I let my mother commit suicide? ”
Zhang Jia was stunned, and also felt that his words were too arbitrary, not to mention that the matter had come to this point, and it was meaningless to talk about the past. He didn't answer this, but asked directly, "Why did you come to me today?"
"There are some things that I can't do or investigate. Li Ke said.
"I'll come. Zhang Jia said very simply.
"Then, you're in vain!" Li Ke hesitated slightly. Originally, he thought of sarcastically saying a few words to Zhang Jia, saying "You owe Ah Zhi a life", but now he can't say it at all.
"I don't need you to say that. In this life, even if in the end, she doesn't choose me, I will still protect her. Zhang Jia said word by word, although he said it to Li Ke, his eyes looked at the moon outside the house.
He and Li Ke both knew that this sentence was actually said to himself.
"Good. Li Ke only replied.
"You keep Zhang Wei and Zhang Jin, if you have something important, let them contact me. Zhang Jia said.
Li Ke nodded, Zhang Jia stopped talking, and strode out of Jinhuayuan.
He walked very fast, brought a gust of wind, and took three or two steps to the Nanmu tree in front of the gate of the sixth room. With a slight leap, a few jumps, and the gray-clothed boy disappeared into the shadows of the trees. The guards around them felt a shadow pass by, and they disappeared.
The Zhang clan in Hedong really lives up to its reputation, but it is not as good as my family's prince! (To be continued.) )
