Chapter 33: Sacrifice to the Dead
King Beichen's face turned pale, and he said hatefully: "You are a woman, and you can even take advantage of your innocence!" ”
Mo Ruqi seemed to have heard a big joke, and said with a smile: "Compared to King Beichen, even his own brothers and subordinates can be discarded after they are used, and I am afraid that this method is not worth mentioning, and it is even more harmless to others." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
was poked in pain, King Beichen's eyes were red, but he couldn't explode, so he had to suppress his anger.
Mo Ruqi hooked her lips and smiled, and sent the letter to King Beichen's eyes, and the moment she saw King Beichen raise his hand, she quickly took the letter back and said: "King Beichen has also read the letter, and what to do with this secret letter next depends on King Beichen." ”
King Beichen clasped his hands and said in a deep voice to the door: "Come on, send the relics looted today to the study." ”
After confirming the things of the dark incense and the shadow before his death, Mo Ruqi smiled lightly, raised his hand to condense his true qi, and with a light stroke of his right hand, the secret letter instantly turned into ashes.
"King Beichen, there will be a period later!" After speaking, in the complicated and unpredictable gaze of King Beichen, Mo Ruqi's figure jumped, and disappeared into the vast night with something.
Dragging her tired body back to Zhuyuan, Xuan Ming, Dark Jiu and others had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw her come back, they greeted her.
She carefully handed the things to Xuan Ming and said, "Order someone to choose an auspicious day, choose a place of feng shui, and let the dark shadow and dark incense enter the earth as soon as possible." ”
Saying this, it seemed that she had exhausted her last bit of strength, and the physical and mental tension for days made her collapse weakly on the bed. At this moment, she didn't care about anything, she just wanted to fall asleep.
Half a moon later, the tomb of Dark Incense and Shadow was completed, and a burial ceremony was held. Mo Ruqi, Xuan Ming, Dark Nine and others rushed to Tingfeng Mountain, where the mountains and rivers were beautiful.
After half a month of conditioning, Mo Ruqi's spirit and complexion have improved a lot, wearing a black gauze skirt, revealing solemnity and heaviness, and Dark Jiu stood beside her, with the same sad expression.
Xuan Ming stood behind the two of them, holding an umbrella for her and Dark Jiu, and the umbrella in his hand unconsciously deviated in the direction of Mo Ruqi, for fear that the cold air in the mountains would hurt her. The cemetery has already been built, but today was specially chosen to hold the completion ceremony.
The midsummer rain came suddenly, raising dust all over the ground, blurring the vision, and it seemed that the sky was crying.
The two tombstones with vermilion lacquer characters are soaked in raindrops, and the two names of the new lacquer shadow and dark incense are particularly dazzling.
Dark Jiu's eyes were red, staring at those two words, and said resentfully: "Actually, Dark Incense and Dark Shadow are the code names they took after entering the Dark Camp. When he was born, he was exiled. When he died, no one even knew his real name, and this was the result of years of loyalty to his King Beichen. ”
Xuan Ming said sadly, and said in a hoarse voice: "How can you and I not be like this, even I have forgotten my true surname and first name, and the code name of the secret guard has become our eternal name." ”
The showers of midsummer came and went as fast as they came, and the rain gradually stopped.
Mo Ruqi took the umbrella in Xuan Ming's hand, motioned for Xuan Ming to step forward, and said, "As the boss of the dark camp and one of the founders of the dark shadow, only you are qualified to put their clothes and utensils into their respective tombs with your own hands. ”
Xuan Ming nodded, and stepped forward with heavy steps.
Dark Nine looked at what Dark Incense and Shadow had used, and recalled, "I thank you for Dark Fragrance and Shadow." If it weren't for you and the Water Killing Pavilion, I'm afraid that the two of them would only be lonely ghosts forever, and there would be no day to live. The dark nine behind him made a deep voice, but his eyes still stubbornly refused to look at her.
"It was because of me that they were exiled and died in a foreign land. These are all things I should do, but the dead are gone, and all I can do is avenge them! But the living are still alive, and I have been searching for the whereabouts of Dark White and Dark Night, hoping to make amends. And you too, I hope you can give me a chance to make amends. Mo Ruqi turned around and looked deeply at Dark Jiu.
Dark Nine didn't say anything, didn't look at her, as if she hadn't heard.
"Are you still blaming me for not punishing Yi Shui and the others for losing their clothes?" Mo Ruqi asked in a low voice.
Without waiting for Dark Jiu's answer, she sighed again and said, "The old things from seven years ago have taught me something in addition to the pain they brought me. ”
Hearing this, Dark Nine looked at her curiously. She vaguely heard Xuan Ming mention that she had suffered a lot to get to where she is today.
In Dark Nine's gaze, she said slowly: "Under people, treat yourself as a person." And above men, you must be subordinate to be people. Seven years ago, under Yuwen Junhiko, I always felt that I was a commoner and unworthy of him, and humbled myself to the dirt, but in exchange for betrayal and abandonment. And now, like him, I stand at the pinnacle of power, and a word or action can make or break a person's life. However, I will never be like him, treating his loyal people as pawns, and ruthlessly discarding them if they are not useful! In my eyes, they and I have no status difference, they just perform their duties in the Water Killing Pavilion, they can't do without me, and I and the Water Killing Pavilion can't do without them, so I won't punish them easily. ”
"Then how do you make sure that your men will obey you?"
"Deal with things in the cabinet, convince people with reason and morality in everything. In life, treat each other sincerely, not only me. At the same time, I have a detailed information on the family list and address of each disciple in the Water Killing Pavilion. But ......"
"But if you detect someone who has two hearts, you control their family in your own hands, so that they don't pose a threat to you and the Water Killing Pavilion!"
Dark Nine stared straight at her, but his tone was unexpectedly calm. The seven-year exile made her understand that everyone is like this, and the so-called moral conscience is a floating cloud in the face of interests.
Mo Ruqi nodded slowly: "Enwei is used together, above people, and treating subordinates as people, this is my benevolent heart as the pavilion master." Controlling their families, that's how I use it. ”
Dark Nine couldn't help but look deeply at the familiar but strange person in front of her. She sometimes wants to tear off her human skin mask to see if she is really the Qing Qi'er she knew seven years ago?
At that time, Yi Shui's arrangement of only letting a few people escort him was not at fault in order to avoid attracting attention. Black Cloud Forest's encounter with an ambush was not something she could foresee. The strength of the opponent King Beichen is not something she can compete with. So that's the result of whoever does it. Naturally, it's no wonder she's gone! ”
"That secret letter, you really ruined it in front of King Beichen?" Hyun Ming approached and asked.
Mo Ruqi smiled unfathomably and said, "He exiled the Dark Guard so ruthlessly seven years ago, and he didn't care about Dark Fragrance and Dark Shadow until he died. So I didn't expect him to be in the clothes, but the letter. So, before going to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I found a gentleman in the bazaar who wrote a letter for someone to copy a secret letter. deceived King Beichen and changed back the clothes of Dark Fragrance Shadow. And the real secret letter is still in my hands. ”
