Chapter 15: Fish on the Board
Ji An hurriedly left.
Liu Xiaohua hurriedly said: "Why." You don't mean ......"
Ji Liugongzi said disapprerovingly: "I really have no ill will towards them, but the matter has come to this point, and the writing cannot be completed, they will definitely not let me go." ”
"I, I'll go tell them." Liu Xiaohua turned around and left.
"Do you think they'll listen to you?" Ji Liugongzi looked at her back, and his fingers tapped rhythmically on his knees.
Liu Xiaohua's steps froze in place.
"You persuaded them to come to my aid, and that's a set of rhetoric. Now I want to persuade them not to kill me, and another set of rhetoric......" Ji Liugongzi said lightly: "Have you ever heard the story of the wolf?" ”
Liu Xiaohua bit her lip tightly.
"The holy queen of the Holy Ancestor Emperor, surnamed Lin Gillian. During the reign of the Holy Queen, there was no precedent for women to enter the clan school, but later the Holy Queen set up a women's school, and this trend gradually rose. The Holy Queen loves to tell stories. The most widely circulated is the story of the wolf. Say, there is a child who herds sheep, and he wants to play tricks on everyone when he has nothing to do......"
"I've heard of it!" Liu Xiaohua interrupted him, "But ......"
"But what? ......" Ji Liugongzi continued her words: "Do you want to say...... But they had that idea because of your instigation. Indeed it is. Later, they found that my gangsters seemed to have lost all their skills, and they made up their minds even more. Think this is a rare chance to kill me? ”
Ji Liugongzi's expression was flat, but his tone was meaningful, as if he had known how Liu Xiaohua had instigated those people and animals, and what he had used to lure them.
Liu Xiaohua felt that she might soon pass out due to heart paralysis. She even wished that she had really passed out. But in the end, she still stood there, not even showing any emotion, but smiled and said, "I know that Childe understands my mind." In order to help my son get out of trouble, I really put a lot of thought into it. It was as if the reason why she was agitating people and animals like that was all for the sake of saving his rights.
Ji Liugongzi raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes were as deep as a well, making people unable to see any love.
Liu Xiaohua was sincere, looked at him and said, "I'm still afraid that my son will blame me for misunderstanding, I'm really ashamed." ”
Ji Liugongzi looked at her in silence for a long time before retracting his gaze and jokingly: "Really? Aren't you afraid, I'm really killed by them? ”
Liu Xiaohua sighed: "At that time, the situation was urgent, and I could only take one step at a time. But in fact, it is not difficult to convince them to leave now. If I hadn't been confident, how could I have put my son's safety at risk and take such a risky move? But his hands were clenched into his sleeves and curled into fists.
Ji Liugongzi said casually, "Although this is the case, you have played with my life in the palm of your hand like this, which makes me displeased...... There's really no reason to let you live......"
Liu Xiaohua tried her best not to show a frightened expression, and said to him loudly: "Childe." Although I have made mistakes, my heart to help my son is very sincere. If Childe kills me because I didn't think about it, what if the matter gets out and is known to those who don't know what happened? Those worldly fools can't understand my inappropriateness, and they only think that Gongzi's kindness will take revenge, isn't it a stain on Gongzi's holy name? In other days, if Childe is in danger again, who else dares to help? Childe should not only not kill me, but should also reward me heavily. It's not because Childe thinks I've done a good job, but because this way I can spread the good name of Childe's generosity and kindness. Childe, you say, right? ”
Ji Liu listened, stretched out his hand to brush off the snow wool on his body, stared at her unkempt hair like a beggar, the corners of his mouth slowly rose, raising a hint of unclear, mocking laughter, and nodded, "It seems to be this truth." ”
Liu Xiaohua breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to take a step forward, but her knees were weak, but she knelt directly in the snow. Just about to get up.
Ji Liu looked in a good mood and said, "Okay." You don't have to make this big gift. Get up. The smile on his face was glaring.
Liu Xiaohua endured the shame and laughed: "It should be, it's really my fault to let my son be frightened." "I got up. Cautiously asked, "Actually, why don't you let those people and animals live?" Childe's guards were also injured, and Childe didn't want others to know his whereabouts, so he wouldn't let them use the cultivation technique. If this starts, I'm afraid it will be a lose-lose situation......"
"Don't worry. Ji An has her own way. Ji Liugongzi seemed to really believe that she was thinking about herself, and comforted her softly, "He is a person who can do things, and he will never let me down." ”
At this time, there was a commotion in the distance. Liu Xiaohua didn't dare to show that she was very concerned, but leaned her head slightly and looked over there with her spare eyes. It turned out that the guards were sharing the hot soup. Liu Xiaohua's whole body trembled, and she immediately understood what was going on. I almost wanted to rush over and tell those people and animals not to drink. However, she didn't move—Ji Liugongzi's guard was standing beside her.
She just stood there and watched the guards take a few sips of their own, then turned their heads to talk and laugh with the animals, and handed the soup over. The animals took it unapprehended, not doubting that there would be anything wrong with the soup.
She watched as the people who shouldn't have died now, drank the soup, watched them fall one by one, and watched the guards cut off their heads one by one with their swords with expressionless faces. And their heads, along with the heads of the other Assassins, were stabbed on the remnants of the cart and stuck in the snow around them.
From afar, it looks like a forest of the dead. Countless dead heads stared straight at those who looked past. Liu Xiaohua looked at them in a daze, as if she was being questioned silently.
Ji Liugongzi smiled and said, "Today is thanks to the girl." ”
Liu Xiaohua couldn't hold back any longer, turned around and fled from the big tree quickly, and a guard ran out after her, grabbed her by the collar and grabbed her up, "Let go of me." Let me go! Her voice was sharp and thin.
"Let her go." Ji Liu's voice came.
The hand that grabbed her was released, and she immediately let out a whoosh and vomited in the dark.
Her whole body trembled, but the more she tried to stop it, the more she trembled. Looking down at his palm, it was full of shocking blood! She squatted down, picked up the snow on the ground, and rubbed it desperately on her hands, as if countless golden bells were ringing in her head, and as if those dead souls were talking to her. They are screaming "It's you, it's you!" If it weren't for you, we would still be alive! ”
She covered her ears and silently buried her head in her lap.
In the distance, Ji Liugongzi sat under the tree, looked at the small figure on the snow from a distance, smiled, and said to Ji An, who came back from finishing his errands, "Let her come over." ”
Liu Xiaohua was brought back to Ji Liugongzi. She hung her head and didn't look at the boy on the brocade carpet.
"Do you hate me?" Ji Liugongzi asked.
Liu Xiaohua looked at his gentle face and wanted to say it loudly to him, yes! Don't hate!
Her heart was full of **, tearing off this gentle face and tearing it to pieces. Although she may not be able to tell what she hates Ji Liu now-her mind is too chaotic, and it is so chaotic that it is blank. But her heart was full of resentment and inexplicable anger, and she needed to find a place to vent it.
But she doesn't want to die, at least she doesn't want to die here, "How can I hate Childe?" "The voice was low, very thin. It's a bit pitiful. Liu Xiaohua heard that her voice involuntarily became such a hypocritical delicate, and her heart was even more annoyed. I feel that in order to live, I have lost my last dignity and position as a human being.
But her lips trembled, and she didn't say anything, and she didn't do anything. Just stand there obediently.
After a while, when she finally looked up at Ji Liu, Ji Liu was looking at her with a light smile.
Liu Xiaohua suddenly had a feeling of being hit by thunder. He! He must have done it on purpose.
Didn't she swear in front of him that she was not afraid of death. Now she really didn't die, it was someone else who died. But she couldn't say what she had suffered, regretting what she had done, but she couldn't do anything. I can only watch. Isn't she very backbone, isn't she known for doing something and not doing something? Now it's all broken by him.
And he just sat there smiling, not telling her lies, just looking at her with interest. Like teasing a puppy, watch her stand there in silence to protect herself, watching those people die in front of her one by one.
Ji Liu used the blood of these people to firmly remind her that she couldn't talk nonsense in front of him, and people couldn't offend indiscriminately.
Because she doesn't have a strong backing to rely on, she's just a fish on the board. He doesn't know how many ways to make her miserable, and she can't tell if she suffers.
And she's still too young after all. To crush her, it was simply easy for Ji Liu.
Liu Xiaohua figured out this, and her whole body and mind were suddenly deeply angry and occupied.
She had never been so annoyed as she was now. She hated herself for being just an insignificant figure. "I'm going to be a very capable person." The feeling has never been more intense than it is now.
In the past, she thought the same way. However, it was only a superficial plan with the color of a dream. It's like writing the essay "My Ideal" when I was a child.
But now, the thought was deeply engraved in her heart, alive in her blood, and every pore was shouting
