168 Scarlet Gift
As he spoke, the emperor instructed the little eunuch beside him: "Go and invite the Southern Chu Mission." ”
"Yes!" The little eunuch went away.
The Southern Chu mission had already come, but they didn't go to see Wei Liu, but wanted to make a temporary appearance on such an occasion.
What do they want to do?
Ruan Yanluo looked towards the door violently, and a huge uneasiness enveloped her heart like a dark cloud, making her brows furrow tightly.
Wei Liu stood upright, although he still had no expression, but Ruan Yanluo could see that every inch of his muscles was tense, and his hand holding the wine glass was almost unable to control his strength, and he crushed the wine glass.
The lights in the hall were swaying, obviously bright, but it seemed to be dark for some reason, as if it was swept away by the yin energy from the Nine Shadows, so ominous.
"The envoy of Nanchu has arrived!" Outside the hall, the eunuch sang a promise in a long voice.
A column of more than ten people entered the main hall under the guidance of the celebrant eunuch, lined up in a horizontal row facing the emperor in the main hall, and saluted together.
The leader stepped forward and said: "The envoy of Southern Chu congratulates His Majesty on his birthday, in order to celebrate His Majesty's birthday, my Emperor Chu has specially prepared some special gifts, so it is late, please forgive me." ”
"Oh, I'd like to see what a novelty it is." The Emperor said with a smile in his eyes.
The envoy of Southern Chu said respectfully: "The emperor will know when he sees it. ”
With a wave of his hand, the people behind him stepped forward at the same time, each of whom held a boxy gold box in his hand, buckled with delicate gold locks.
Wei Liu's lips trembled slightly, staring at the boxes.
"Open the box, present!"
"Smack!" The first box opened, Wei Liu's body shook, the cup in his hand suddenly shattered to the ground, and the pale red wine splashed on the ground, like a faint blood.
"Please allow your subordinates to introduce the emperor." The envoy of Southern Chu said loudly.
"He Shinan, fifteen years ago, the general of the Southern Chu soldiers and horses, blocked the Tianyao army at the source of the Yuhe River, killed the Tianyao army of 76,000, and killed the He family's mansion in Fengcheng."
"He Shixun, the younger brother of He Shinan, fifteen years ago, was the commander of the Western Route Army of Southern Chu, blocked the Tianyao army in Changsongli, killed the Tianyao army of 53,000, and killed the He family's official residence in Fengcheng."
"He Feiting, He Shinan's eldest son, killed the He family's mansion in Fengcheng."
"He Hongying, He Shixun's eldest daughter, was killed in the He family's mansion in Fengcheng."
……
Every time the box was opened, a bloody human head was exposed in front of everyone's eyes.
Wei Liu bit his lip tightly, and the red blood oozed out little by little.
He recognizes, he knows these people.
His uncle, so heroic, hugged the little one and threw him on the tall horse, and said heroically: "When a man fights on the battlefield, don't call the fat powder raised in the palace." ”
His cousin, who had studied and played with him since childhood, was only two or three years older than him, but he was already good at marksmanship.
and Hongying, who always dislikes that she is a daughter, refuses to wear a skirt since she was a child, and forces him to call her brother.
When he left, they kept sending him a long way, and Feiting Hongying took his hand and said, "Ah Liu, live well, we will meet again one day." ”
He was looking forward to this day, he was looking forward to this day.
But he couldn't imagine that their goodbye would be like this.
The last box, the envoy personally held it in his hand, opened it with a bang in the face of the emperor, and sang loudly: "He Yurou, fifteen years ago, was the concubine of Southern Chu Rou, instigated the Chu Emperor to resist Tianyao, killed 230,000 Tianyao troops, 510,000 Southern Chu soldiers and civilians, and killed the demons of the country and killed in Fengcheng Chongyan Palace. ”
Wei Liu's eyes widened suddenly, and he roared, "Mother! ”
His fingers clenched into his palms, and grief and anger rushed wildly in his chest, almost tearing his internal organs apart.
So hurt, so hurt.
His mother, the most gentle woman in the world, the ever-smiling mother, would hold his mother who said, "My Liu'er is the best child in the world......
Now, it appeared in front of him so bloody, locked in that small box.
Her hair was disheveled and sticking to her cheeks with blood, her lips were covered in blood, and her eyes were dead.
Those eyes, which used to look at him lovingly and dotingly, were now full of hatred......
It's all hate!
What happened to her before she died?
Ruan Yanluo's heart fell.
"Your Majesty, these people are the culprits of the war between Tianyao and Southern Chu back then, just because the emperor was partial, he failed to subdue the law, and the emperor died of illness half a month ago, and the crown prince Weijiang was enthroned as the new emperor. On the occasion of His Majesty's birthday, the new emperor of Southern Chu specially ordered us to sacrifice their lives as a congratulatory gift to His Majesty. ”
The envoy put the box in his hand back into the hands of the person who was holding it, saluted again and said: "These people are very familiar with Prince Weiliu, Emperor Chu specially explained to his subordinates, and asked Prince Weiliu to personally confirm the gift, so as not to make mistakes, please ask the emperor for permission." ”
Ruan Yanluo's hand clenched.
They killed Wei Liu's mother and Wei Liu's family, but now, they want Wei Liu to confirm their deaths in person.
How dare these people hurt Weiliu like this?
Wei Liu, Wei Liu, how much pain should his heart have?
The emperor laughed out loud when he heard this, and said, "Emperor Chu has bothered, this gift is very suitable for me, and I deserve a reward." ”
He turned to Wei Liu again and said, "Since Prince Wei Liu is very familiar with them, why don't you go and test this gift on behalf of the emperor!" ”
The emperor was laughing, the people in the hall were laughing, Wei Liu was like being in a huge Colosseum, his sorrow, his pain, and the blood of his relatives were just jokes that made them laugh in the eyes of these people.
Wei Liu clenched his fists and took a step towards the hall, and then another step.
The floor under his feet no longer seems to be a fine green jade, but a sword blade, which makes the soles of his feet hurt.
Every step of the way, they all stepped on heavy blood.
"The three hundred and forty-two people in the He Mansion have all subdued the law, and all of them here are the first evils, and the prince of Weiliu has to see it clearly."
The envoy smiled maliciously, pointed to the first box and said: "He Shinan resisted stubbornly, and the Divine Shooting Battalion was ordered to kill, and ten thousand arrows pierced his heart and died. ”
He pointed to the second box and said: "He Shixun tried in vain to escape with the Qin prisoner, but was caught up by the fast horse of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and was cut into meat puree with a knife. ”
The third box: "He Feiting, stubbornly resisted and exhausted, and died of heavy hammering." ”
The fourth box: "He Hongying, escaped into the secret room of the He Mansion and burned to death in the fire dream." ”
Pointing at the boxes one by one, Wei Liu was always expressionless, just walking mechanically and watching.
These are his relatives.
One's flesh and blood.
At this time, they were all lying here with blurred faces, their bones incomplete.
Walking to the last box, the envoy's face showed an extremely obscene smile, and he said word by word very clearly: "He Yurou is a fox and a disaster to the country, and the Queen Mother specially explained that she would give her the most suitable way to die." She was thrown into the crowd of beggars in Fengcheng and was wheeled to death. ”
"Smack!" There was a slight sound of bones, and Wei Liu's tightly clenched hand actually broke his finger.
