In fact, Gu Yan and Wei Ting's things are far more than that, there are some things that A Luo told Bai Qing without thinking about it, and it was also for Bai Qing's curiosity, but there are more things, A Luo naturally will not tell Li Shimin completely, such as how Gu Yan and Wei Ting used each other at the beginning, and how they came to the situation later.

Gu Yan's right hand was broken because of Wei Ting, and most of the people who knew about it back then had already died, so it can be said that the person who knows the most now is only A Luo, and thinking of those things back then, the corners of A Luo's mouth instead raised a bright smile, and his bright and shining eyes were surging, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but he had a playful look, which made people shudder.

That was a long, long time ago, when the first emperor was critically ill and there was turmoil in the court, just because there was still no candidate for the throne. After the first prince was deposed, he was in a slump, and the younger brother of one of his mother's compatriots, the third prince, was outstanding, but it was a pity that only talent and learning were useless, and most of the connections in the court were in the hands of the six princes. And today's new emperor, the original thirteen princes, is as his name suggests. He's just a little-known junior, with mediocre qualifications and mediocre qualifications. No one would have thought that such an unknown boy would become the son of heaven. It's like no one would have thought that three days after the death of the Son of Heaven, he would come back from the dead and personally crown his son, who had never looked at him much before his death.

It is said that the thirteen princes were unknown at the beginning, and all of them were mediocre, and they did not have any connections in the court. His biological mother was just the concubine of an ordinary merchant family, and she stuffed a lot of silver taels before she was chosen by the emperor in a flop. And then...... And then there will be no then. Until the birth of the thirteenth prince Li Yi. The emperor remembered that he seemed to have slept with that person, and gave some reward, and that's it. Too many sons. That's the bad thing.

Fortunately, Li Yi was mediocre in all aspects, and he had to keep a low profile, so he lived to the age of sixteen so carefully. It is also because he is too ordinary, waiting until the emperor is terminally ill and the court is in turmoil, especially when the third prince and the sixth prince amused you to death when the first emperor was dying, implicating many innocent people. He was also able to protect himself. The third prince has a perverse personality, is violent, and acts extremely ruthlessly. Even though he is scheming, he has also made countless enemies in the DPRK and China. On the other hand, the six princes, the plank road is repaired in the open, and the warehouse is in the dark. He is extremely tactful in his life. Before you know it, you've accumulated your own contacts.

At the last moment, it seems that it is clear who wins and who loses. And the last chess piece fell into the hands of the eighth prince, Li Shimin. The first emperor was seriously ill in his later years, and when he was terminally ill, Li Shimin always took care of him, and compared with the six princes, he was more civil and military in the Manchu Dynasty. They are all henchmen. If the third prince wants to break back a game, he has to turn to Li Shimin for help. All of a sudden. Everyone is waiting for Li Shimin to fall, whether it is black or white, they can also stand in line as soon as possible.

However, Li Shimin was ambiguous, with a high book on his face, "It's none of my business, hang high." After such a delay, it dragged on until the death of the first emperor, and the incident happened suddenly, and the first emperor didn't even have time to draft an edict. The throne was vacant, and Li Shimin was in charge of the dynasty on his behalf, and it was like this that everyone understood the attitude of the eight princes. It's a dog. He's going to take his place!

It was the people who were so panicked for three days, and then they were slapped in the face. No one thought that the first emperor, whose bones were cold, would wake up on the third day after his death. The adults they saw with their own eyes were all important ministers of the court, and they still remembered that day when it was rainy and cloudy, the dark clouds above the palace were like rotting corpses, and the black pressure was so overwhelming that Li Shimin gathered everyone into a room.

Well, the purpose is obvious, that is, to confirm the usurpation. The faces of the three princes were covered with dark clouds, and even the eyes of the six princes, who were usually gentle and elegant, were chills that could not be concealed. Everyone whispered, no one paid attention to the ordinary young man in the corner, and naturally no one expected that the thin young man would be the future son of heaven, under one person, above ten thousand.

It wasn't until in the curling green smoke that the first emperor's face slowly revealed from the hazy vision, and it was much more majestic than the past few years of his illness, with a terrifying shudder, and the room was filled with the sound of gasps one after another. Then there sounded such an old voice, even after the vicissitudes of life, but still no one can resist the majesty, such a first emperor, let everyone think of his heyday, is like this, dominant, worshiped by thousands of people, everyone is stupid.

So when everyone was stunned, the first emperor actually gave the throne to his thirteenth son. Thirteen thirteen, sure enough, thirteen. In a dizzying blue haze, Bai Zhan, who was named by his father for the first time, obviously did not react, and approached in a daze, not yet recovering from the fear of the resurrection of a dead man, but the first emperor personally handed over the jade seal to his hands.

At that time, all he felt was that his mind was blank and groggy, and he wanted to say something. But his voice was hoarse, as if something was stuck in his throat, and as soon as he came out, he let out a sharp scream that he hadn't expected, and then fell asleep. The high fever lasted for three days and three nights, if it was a weekday, I was afraid that no one would be too lazy to care about the life or death of this nominal thirteen masters, but now it is different from the past, the imperial doctors went in and out, but they all shook their heads and sighed, only saying that the new emperor would not be able to survive this day.

At this time, he fell ill, and the streets and alleys were talking about how the thirteenth master was too squeamish and couldn't do big things, otherwise how could he die well, but he would die of illness at this time. This matter still ended with Xiao Yao entering the palace. On the second day after he entered the palace, Li Yi recovered from his serious illness and was refreshed. On this day, it was also the day of the first emperor's burial, and the new emperor, who had been ill for three days, finally reacted, not only was he about to miss his enthronement ceremony, but even almost missed such a major day as the funeral of his father.

Which emperor is as aggrieved as himself? If he didn't know that he was just a puppet of his Eighth Emperor Uncle, he would be hopelessly stupid. Indeed, among the emperor's sons, there is no second one who is as mediocre and powerful as him. Who made his mother's maiden family just an ordinary merchant eunuch's family, and it was still a dilapidated family that was extremely depressed and still didn't know where to survive. It's all like this, and it's not the cornerstone of being a human being. If he doesn't be the cannon fodder for Li Shimin's ascension, Bai Zhan himself feels sorry for his identity. Since ancient times, the emperor's family has been ill-intentioned, especially Li Shimin's thoughtfulness. You can get as far as you can, and never get closer.

Ah Luo was still thinking about Gu Yan and Wei Ting's past, but his eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but those eyes suddenly became sharp, and he seemed to have forgotten that he knew about this incident back then and is still alive. In addition to himself and Gu Yan, there seems to be another person, as for that person......

Just as Arlo thought. Because at this moment, Xiao Yao really told Bai Qing everything about it, when his grandfather went out of the Valley of the Wicked to Kyoto, Xiao Yao was greedy for fun. He also went with his own grandfather. Although he was still young at the time, but what happened, he also knew it clearly, including everything that happened later, even after so many years, he did not forget it, and now he looked at Bai Qing so curiously, and he also asked her, that is, he regarded it as a favor. told Bai Qing about this matter.

When Bai Qing listened to Xiao Yao talk about this matter as if she was talking about a good show, she had a very frightened look on her face. She has always felt that Arlo is very perverted, and now it seems that this matter is also very inseparable from Arlo, and it is true......

Xiao Yao sneered when he heard this, "Coming back from the dead, and it's not a Daluo Immortal, who has the ability?" "Actually, Bai Qing really wants to say that he, isn't your Xiao family just in the name of a living person who is not a doctor, why did he say such a thing at this time, isn't that a slap in the face, but after thinking about it, Bai Qing still kept her mouth shut, after all, she still had to listen to Xiao Yao tell the end of this matter.

"Gu Yan's paintings already have the ability to be fake, at that time, dozens of incense sticks were lit in the rooms where the ministers and princes were located, and those people were already drowsy, and those who used ventriloquism were fake and real, and everyone really believed in this absurd play." Unexpectedly...... Even with just one of Gu Yan's paintings, he painted a dead person as a living person? Bai Qing is really unbelievable, no wonder Gu Yan was a blockbuster at the beginning, and the scenery is infinite. "But it's a capital offense!" Bai Qing is not mentally retarded, "Li Shimin used them to confirm his conspiracy, can these people still live?" No matter how outstanding Gu Yan's painting skills are, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape, thinking that he has only broken a hand now, Bai Qing suddenly feels that Gu Yan is very lucky. Naturally, it can't. Xiao Yao still remembered that day Gu Yan knelt in front of his eyes, his gaze was bleak and cold, lost his soul, and he did not have the spirit of painting on weekdays, his originally enviable right hand and arm were empty at this time, and blood flowed like an infusion.

And Ah Luo smiled, the long sword in his hand was still bleeding, he squinted a pair of peach blossom eyes slightly, and looked at Gu Yan, "I told you not to live, you can't die, okay?" "It's like a ghost. Gu Yan was silent, his eyes were sloppy, and only a piece of coldness remained. The sword in Arlo's hand provoked his sharp, angular chin, "I'll leave your left hand...... You remember, Wei Ting's bones are gone, and Benjun not only saved your life, but also let you paint for Benjun alone from now on......" Gu Yan was stunned, as if his soul had been drained, and he kowtowed to obey his orders.

This is what Xiao Yao said to Bai Qing, because he hurried to the scene and saw the picture of A Luo cutting off Gu Yan's right hand, but he didn't know what the three of them had experienced before.

And in fact......

Before Gu Yan entered the palace, he was just an unknown painter, if he said Bole, it was naturally Wei Ting. Wei Ting's ability is because of his unmatched ventriloquist and follows Arlo. This was something Bai Qing didn't expect.

Before Gu Yan met Wei Ting, he was still a poor and down-and-out painter, and his life was not much better than now, when he sold paintings on the street as usual, and as always, he did not sell a single one. Touching the few copper plates left in his arms, Gu Yan sighed lightly and shook his head, thinking that he didn't know how long this day of making ends meet and not having enough to eat lasted. After simply cleaning up the shop, he was about to go back, but he didn't want to meet Wei Ting by chance.

That was the first time Gu Yan saw Wei Ting, but he saw his haggard face in his surprised eyes, but Wei Ting seemed to be unable to put down his paintings/love/love, and he heard Wei Ting say to himself, "You shouldn't belong here." Yan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that the tip of his nose was sour, just because no one had said a word to himself for a long time. Almost without hesitation, he followed Wei Ting into the palace, and under his recommendation, he naturally rose to prominence, because of his amazing painting skills. Deeply appreciated by the emperor, and sought after by the palace concubines, they were clothed and fed. Silk silk, he is no longer the poor and sour boy he was before.

It's just that Gu Yan's high in his bones makes him turn a blind eye to all this, and what he wants has never been these. It's the boy's gaze. Since entering the palace, Gu Yan has been looking forward to meeting Wei Ting again. But he really left him behind, until he became the emperor's favorite, and he did not see the person who thought about him day and night. Because of this, he became more and more reticent, and outsiders saw it. But it was a lonely coldness.

Until he saw Wei Ting again, he gave him the long-cherished picture scroll like a treasure, his cheeks were crimson, and he was full of emotion. But I can't say it. He was never a good talker. However, he didn't know that Wei Ting was very smart. Gu Yan, the new painter of the palace, has excellent painting skills, and is even the object of competition among the concubines and princes. is such a man in the limelight, but he has a unique quirk, he never paints portraits of men.

Wei Ting has rarely set foot in the palace recently, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know everything in this palace. Naturally, he was curious about Gu Yan in his discerning eyes at the beginning. What kind of secrets are there? It is such a mood of inquiry, when Wei Ting slowly opened the scroll, he saw that the person in the painting had a pair of bright eyes, a green shirt and hair, tall and handsome, and the person in the painting was himself. It turned out to be myself. Wei Ting was surprised at first, but for a moment, he looked as usual.

He is good at ventriloquism and first-class acting skills, so he naturally saw Gu Yan's thoughts, but he only smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, "Gu Yan, I know your thoughts." His smile became thicker and thicker, slowly approaching, looking at him playfully, his lips were almost close to Gu Yan's thin two lip flaps, his fingertips traced the appearance of these lips, thinking that the kiss would be fragrant, his eyes showed a flamboyant look, he said, "Gu Yan, you are like this, I am very happy." Since then, Gu Yan has become more and more determined, he never paints for other men, just because those emperors and generals, or the children of the Zhu Sect, have never been able to get into his eyes, he probably really loves Wei Ting.

But what about Wei Ting? Wei Ting, like most people in the Valley of the Wicked, has been with Arlo for many years. He is thoughtful, ruthless, and good at disguise, since Gu Yan is interested in himself, it is his best chess piece. At that time, A Luo and Bai Qing planned an unprecedented earth-shattering conspiracy, which was the case of the resurrection of the first emperor from the dead. It wasn't until later that it was imminent, but there was still a lack of a fake emperor, not that he didn't think about finding a person similar to this emperor, but after all, the Ninety-Five Honor, not to mention the similar face, is this innate majesty, it is difficult to find a second person. And what no one can do, no one has thought of it, but Gu Yan can draw it.

Wei Ting knew Gu Yan's intentions, and after a few ambiguous times, he also accepted Gu Yan happily, and used Gu Yan to help him depict the heroic posture of the first emperor on the third day after the death of the first emperor. However, it is never a good thing that there are too many people who know the secret.

Wei Ting has followed Arlo for many years and is his confidant. And the key to this conspiracy, the painter who has not been in the palace for a long time, is just a chess piece, he knows too much...... Gu Yan knew that he would not escape death, and at that time he knelt in front of A Luo, his heart was like ashes. Who knew that Ah Luo said, "You could have stayed out of this matter, but you have ended up where you are now, you probably forgot, who caused you to do this?" ”

Gu Yan was stunned, how could he not remember that it was Wei Ting who told him that as long as the dynasty changed, they would fly away and ignore the affairs of the government and the opposition. He was ruthless and became an accomplice in this plot to usurp the throne. But he never escaped. Does he hate Wei Ting? Probably hate, but in the end, his love for him surpassed those hatreds. He really loved Wei Ting very much, so when Ah Luo said that if he could get back Wei Ting's head, he would let himself go, all his noble and noble nobility were unloaded, and he kowtowed heavily, "Gu Yan damn it, please let Wei Ting go." ”

He hated him, so he would rather die himself, and he wanted that person to always remember that he died because of him, and he didn't want Wei Ting to forget himself like this. "Do you think he really cares about you? Or do you think that if you do this to him, he will remember you? Ah Luo smiled, his smile was cruel, his dark boots stepped on Gu Yan's right hand, "Ah Yan, you are really naïve. "Every word, every word. Gu Yan's whole person trembled with fear, what was he afraid of?

"Even if you die, Wei Ting naturally can't live alone, all these years, what he has done do you think I don't know?" Arlo seemed to be sighing when he said this, obviously regretful, but with a cold killing intent. "Your Excellency!" Gu Yan stared in horror, sweating profusely from the sharp pain in his wrist, but he still tried to intercede for Wei Ting. "That's ......," Arlo continued to laugh playfully, "You don't have to look for Wei Ting, I'm afraid he's already dead by now...... How about I exchange your right hand for your life? "......" He is Gu Yan, the most famous painter in Kyoto, if he doesn't have this right hand, what is the difference between him and a waster?! But...... He'll be alive!

Now that Wei Ting is dead, if he is also dead, there will be no breath of the other two of them in this vast world, and no one will remember them...... No, since Wei Ting can't remember himself anymore, let him Gu Yan think about Ah Ting's goodness, he can't forget that person, he will die...... Don't forget him! On that stormy day, even Li Changan, who was watching with his own eyes, didn't expect that Gu Yan would choose his life in the end. He has always felt that such a noble person, how could he rather give up his ability to paint long scrolls in Danqing in exchange for such a life? !

But Gu Yan really did it. His severed right arm was bleeding profusely, but he smiled and knelt on the cold stone face, his head hit the ground, and there were heavy blood stains, "Gu Yan...... Thank you, sir! ”

This is the final ending of that story, after Wei Ting's death, Gu Yan followed Ah Luo and came to settle down in the Valley of the Wicked with Wei Ting's ashes, but the Valley of the Wicked is really a place of right and wrong that is not suitable for staying for a long time, and no matter how ruthless the people in this valley are, there are many people with ill intentions outside the Valley of the Wicked, who specialize in bullying those who are weak, and Gu Yan, who has lost his right hand, is a newcomer and a good target for bullying.

Fortunately, everyone saw that Gu Yan came back with Ah Luo, so although Ah Luo had not taken care of Gu Yan since he returned to the Valley of the Wicked, the people inside and outside the Valley of the Wicked only occasionally bullied Gu Yan in front of him, and did not dare to do anything too excessive.

Gu Yan has lived in the Valley of the Wicked for many years, but he also knows a lot of things from Kyoto, after all, this place, there are many people and miscellaneous people, it is everyone's temperament, for example, recently, the rumors of the change of dynasty have been spreading, which makes Gu Yan can't help but think of the original conspiracy, he is so depressed in his heart, he feels more and more panicked, and he is more and more closed, almost everyone thinks that Gu Yan is dead.

Until inadvertently, Gu Yan saw Li Wusheng, the person who looked almost exactly the same as Wei Ting, Gu Yan's heart almost jumped out of his throat, and he finally realized that despite so many years, he still loved Wei Ting so much, but after being rejected again, he sat in the corner in distress, with his hands on his knees, and there was endless pain in his eyes.

Bai Qing appeared at that time, and she said to herself, "Gu Yan, what are you crying about?" ”

Yes, what is he crying about, Gu Yan feels that his heart is endlessly sad, but he doesn't know what he is sad about, it can be said that he and Wei Ting are using each other, so they have ended up in the current situation, it is also their own fault, in this case, what is there to be sad about? !

Gu Yan didn't understand, he looked up at Bai Qing, but he suddenly saw the bright smile on the corner of the girl's mouth under the bright sunlight, and suddenly remembered the equally flamboyant young man many years ago, it was at that time that Gu Yan suddenly had his first friend from the Valley of the Wicked.

It's just that he never knew that Bai Qing approached him with a purpose, but Bai Qing seemed to be the only person who was good to him in this indifferent and dirty valley of evildoers. (To be continued......)
