Volume 2 Under the King's Land Chapter 150 I owe no one more
He slowly picked up the rancid rice on the ground and ate it in a big gulp, and was immediately spitted out by the smell of the food, how could he eat such a meal, could it be that Chu Xiaohua was planning to starve him to death?
At this moment, there was the sound of heavy footsteps outside the cell, and the iron door suddenly opened, and the fire shone in, and the blinding light illuminated him so that he could not open his eyes, so he had to crawl into the dark corner, "Water, give me water!" he said in a hoarse voice.
"The time of the three incense sticks, you can measure it yourself. The jailer said to the old man in the leather robe.
"Yes, yes, thank you, Jailer. The old man bent down and nodded, completely without the posture of a sword god.
The voice was surprisingly familiar, but Su Weiyin remembered for a while: "Guan Changye...... Is it you? is it really you?" the old man lifted his hat, took out a bottle of rice wine from his arms, and said in a low voice: "I knew that they would treat Your Highness badly, but I didn't expect them to even give you water to drink, I brought you wine, Your Highness drink it quickly." ”
Su Weiyin snatched the rice wine bottle in the old man's hand fiercely, bit off the cap and poured it down, the warm rice wine was as sweet as honey when he drank it, he drank the rice wine in three sips, and immediately smashed the wine bottle on the old man's forehead, the old man didn't hide, just looked at him quietly.
"What are you doing here? You've done enough harm to our family? I don't want to see you, get out!" he said with the strength of a mouthful of thick phlegm.
"I'm here to see you...... Come and see you. The old man gently wiped away the blood oozing from his forehead, and the young man laughed: "You can laugh at me now, you did it...... Xilin Sword God, maybe I should call you Da Yin Sword God, you have become Chu Xiaohua's lackey now, right? What benefits did he give you...... Hahaha. ”
"Your Highness, you shouldn't have assassinated the Third Prince of Chu. The old man said quietly.
"I didn't plan to kill him! You idiot, I just want the king's breath in his body! If you hadn't suddenly appeared, I would have been crowned king in the Xilin Sword Arsenal now!"
"The king should not be like this, and your father will be disappointed if he sees you as he is. The old man sighed.
"You're not qualified to talk to me about this, anyway, you've ruined everything, you traitor!" Su Weiyin pointed at the old man physically and mentally.
"Why did you only appear now, why? You didn't come back when Xilin fell, and now you ruined everything when Xilin was about to rise, you are really ...... You are really ......" Su Weiyin laughed and slapped the stone wall, his face full of tears.
"Your Highness, your hour is almost up, the eldest prince Chu Yingyang plans to kill you, and the day after tomorrow, everyone will come to see you, including the people of Xilin. ”
"Time doesn't mean anything to me anymore, what's the difference between the day after tomorrow and the present. Okay, Chu Ying looked up to him and finally made a move, anyway, he has always looked at me unpleasantly, and that Chu Xun is too, and now they have found a reasonable borrowing
Why not get rid of me?" he said in that nonchalant tone.
"Your Royal Highness, all this is your cocoon, Emperor Yin, he once said to the old man, he intends to return Xilin to His Royal Highness at the right time, he said that the sins of the father's generation should not be borne by the descendants, you and Princess Changyan are innocent, if it weren't for you, ......"
"Shut up, you hopeless fool, can you believe Chu Xiaohua's words? He is the biggest liar himself, why should he return the territory he has worked so hard to fight for me, and I am not his own son!" Su Weiyin said.
"You blame him, indeed, but he does treat you like his own son, otherwise he wouldn't have allowed you to live for so many years. The old man told the truth.
"Is that so?" he laughed to himself.
"As the sword god of the west, the old man suggests that you ......"
"Don't talk about that damn title anymore, how can you still have the face to claim to be the sword god of Xilin? The young man pointed out, and the old man was stunned: "Yes, I have betrayed many promises to protect all the people in Xilin, and every inch of land in Xilin, and what is even more tragic is ...... I will see the destruction of your family in my lifetime...... I've betrayed too many promises, and I won't be able to see my ancestors after I die. The old man leaned against the stone wall and put his hands on the scabbard: "Even so, I am still the sword god of Xilin, the youngest and most powerful swordsman in the history of Xilin, there is no doubt about it. ”
"You are the youngest and most powerful traitor ever to be in the West. ”
The old man was silent, and took out another bottle of rice wine from his waist, but this time he did not hand it to Su Weiyin, but slowly crushed the wine bottle, and let the wine stay along his fingers: "This cup of wine, to all the people who died in the battle of Xilin, may your soul rest in peace, do you know? ”
Su Weiyin sneered, and suddenly he remembered that his birthday was on the thirtieth day of the first month, the light rain was new, and a thunder startled, he still remembered this sentence.
This should be the season when everything wakes up, but it is the last day of his Su Weiyin, and the day of the execution happens to be his birthday.
Now he owes no one.
"How can they kill me, behead me or hang?" he asked suddenly.
"Beheaded...... This is the most dignified way for you to die, after which your body will be transported back to the Great Red City and buried next to the Taimiao of the Imperial Palace, along with your ancestors, you will not be alone. ”
I'd rather die alone in no man's land, so that no one can see me, and I don't need to be humiliated by my ancestors after I die, he thought to himself.
"I want to meet the Third Prince of Chu. He said.
"You'll see, on the day of execution, everybody will come. The old man sighed.
"Do you have a pen and paper with you? I want to bring a letter to him. ”
"No, if you don't
If you abandon it, the old man can use blood as ink, green shirt as paper, you can write a blood letter to him with your fingers, presumably the third prince of Chu will not mind. ”
"That's right...... Thank you for your hard work. Su Weiyin nodded, the old man stuck the torch on the wall, tore off a large sleeve and handed it to him, without saying a word, he drew his sword and cut his wrist, the bloody blood dripped in the rice bowl, black as ink, Su Weiyin dipped his hand in blood, and thanked him with a fire.
The third prince of Chu is like a guide:
I'm sorry...... These were the first words he wrote.
Xiao Zhao ...... I can call you that, my sister she also calls you that, you are the only one who has not given me a cold eye in the palace all these years, as a dead country, for that matter, I am very grateful to you.
That night, I really wanted to kill you, but I also ask you to forgive me for my helplessness, because I want the king's breath in your body too much, and I want to restore the country too much, I hope that the people of Xilin can have a home like the people of your Yin country, and there is no need to send people to slaves, I hope you will forgive me.
All along, I thought you were a coward who would just hide behind your sister's skirt as a fool. Until that night, you appeared on the Yanqiao with one person and one sword, which completely changed my idea, you are a hero, as you say, a real hero. I admire the sacrifice you made for my sister, no wonder she has always liked you, and I am still a little jealous of this, it turns out that it is not unreasonable.
I also want to protect my sister if I can, I don't want to be a coward, if I have a choice, I would rather die on the battlefield that night, it's really exciting to fight a boy like you, you're much better than your brother, we fight like this, and I'm not wasting my life.
Please greet His Majesty Emperor Yin, I have failed his teachings over the years, I remember every word he said to me, but none of them can be done, if he hates, hate me alone, don't vent your hatred on those innocent people in the west.
I know that you have seen my father, and if you have the chance to see him in the future, please convey my apologies to him and tell him that I have done my best.
He thought about it for a while and decided to erase this sentence, which had no meaning of existence, just like his life.
As for the matter of the Xilin Sword Library, I hope you will open it, you are a good person, you will not point your sword at innocent people, a wicked person like me will definitely go to the ninth layer of purgatory after death, and I will not be able to see you and my sister at that time, I hope you treat her well, she has always liked you, but this stupid girl is thin-skinned, what she doesn't dare to say will be told by my brother, I hope you don't blame her.
He paused for a long time, before that he could only hear the sound of Guan Changye's blood dripping, he thought for a long time, and decided to write it down, his face gradually relaxed, he must not cry until the end of this letter, tears will wash away his reason.
Younger sister...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... He wrote almost twenty sorry, sorry, I took advantage of you
, my brother doesn't want you to forgive my brother either, you have enough reasons to hate me. Many times before, my brother didn't like you to get too close to the third prince of Chu, my brother always felt that he was a bastard like Chu Yingyang, and he ate you in one bite when you were caught off guard, can you understand your brother's hard work? It doesn't matter if you don't understand, anyway, you have always been right, the third prince of Chu is a good person, you can take the initiative with him, your identity is no worse than those women around him, see if you have the life of a princess in the future.
I know you've been very unhappy, you don't have to worry about your brother after this incident is over, people die like lights out, it's better to focus on the living than to worry about a dead person worth coming, you don't have to think about anything to restore the country, some things are destined, but some stupid people are unwilling, and in the end it is in vain, there is nothing worth worrying about.
Live well...... Living until your hair turns gray and your teeth fall out, such a life is worth coming to more than anything else.
In the end, he still couldn't write those three words, and then he gently dried the blood stains on it, folded the cloth and handed it to Guan Changye: "Send this letter to the third prince of Chu, this is your last task, and I am not responsible for everything before." ”
"Xilin's criminal minister Guan Chang is willing to serve His Royal Highness the prince at night, and it is not a pity to die!" the old man knelt on the ground, and his hands trembled as he took the blood book full of the last words of the prince of Xilin.
"Uncle Guan, I've been very tired all these years, and it's easy to die, right?" Su Weiyin leaned against the wall, and the past appeared in his mind like a horse watching a lantern.
"Your Highness...... It was the old minister who was useless, and it was the old minister who lived up to the trust of the first emperor. "The chief of the night can't kneel.
"When I was a child, I was always lazy to practice swords, but Uncle Guan never told my father a secret, I know all this in my heart, I'm sorry...... Uncle Guan, if you had worked hard before, maybe you would have been able to beat Uncle Guan that night. He smiled bitterly, and the old man's tears suddenly welled up, "Your Highness, don't say it...... Your Highness. ”
In the end, the two didn't know what to say, and finally Guan Changye quietly withdrew.
Changyan ...... He slowly closed his eyes, he hoped to see his sister's smiling face again in the next dream, just as they were flying over the Great Red City on a green dragon with a water and a green dragon, sparks under them, and peace and tranquility.
