CHAPTER XXIV

Hu Die hurriedly took the king's order and left. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Gu Qingzhong reminded behind: "Your wine glass." ”

"You can take it first." Hu Die looked back and smiled.

She didn't know that her hastily smile revealed a smile that she had never shown in her life, and it reflected Gu Qingzhong's eyes and heart, and it could no longer be erased.

She entered the palace. At that time, King Yu happened to announce his intention to annex Zhang Jun. The ministers dissuaded one after another, King Yu was very unhappy, and when he heard that Hu Die was coming, he was overjoyed. He wanted Hu Die to fight bravely, and he must fight the main battle. He was going to call her to the court and ask. She must have supported his claim! In this way, seeing that a woman is not afraid of beating, what else do the officials have to say?

Unexpectedly, Hu Die objected as soon as he heard it, saying that there are five people who cannot fight. After years of fighting, the people's livelihood has been tired, and people's minds are peaceful but not thinking of war, which is one of them. Zhang and Yu are separated by a desert, and it is inconvenient for the army to travel back and forth. Zhang Jun was defeated and retreated, precisely because of the inconvenience of crossing the sand and supply. Yujun's national strength is far inferior to Zhangjun's, crossing the sand to chase the past, the geographical advantage and all the people are reversed, how can you get it? The second is also ......

Let's go! King Yu didn't listen to any three, four, or five anymore, and he was furious and rushed to the crown, calling for Hu Die to be dragged down and beheaded! Hu Die was not afraid and said: "Death and life are a dream, and I should have lost it in that net." The pity is that my beautiful rivers and mountains, loyal soldiers, and toiling people will all be cut off by Your Majesty! ”

This was disrespectful, and the ministers thought she was dead. Unexpectedly, King Yu's face changed and changed, and he said slowly: "If everyone is as loyal and outspoken as Qing, wouldn't it be my great luck." ”

Hu Die not only escaped, but also became an official and became a knight. She thanked her, and King Yu was not polite, and said to her: "I know that Qing is loyal, my Wang family is not stingy, I don't know if Qing is stingy?" ”

Hu Dieqi said: "What am I stingy for? ”

King Yu told her and Pan: Yu and Zhang reconciled, and Yu Min rested, and that's it. King Yu was always worried about Zhang Jun. Fortunately, when King Zhang heard about Hu Die's beauty, he was very coveted and wanted to be admitted to the palace as a concubine. "Flatten the metaphor and catch the butterfly alive" is the slogan of Zhang Junzhong, Hu Die has also heard of it. King Yu planned that it would be better to marry Hu Die to Zhang Jun, first, to be a spy, and secondly, Zhang Wang would not compensate Yu Jun for military expenses, in the name of bride price, presumably King Zhang was embarrassed not to let go. But what about Hu Die's stinginess with his body?

Hu Die lowered his head and was silent for a long time. The hand pressed against the placket of the garment, pale as a bloody dream. King Yu thought that he would not get an answer that day. She opened her mouth with only one word: "No." ”

A promise.

Thousands of gold to buy beads, ten thousand gold satin, red dyed skirt pleats, incense soaked rouge, Yu County's butterfly handsome will go to Zhang County and pro. Gu Qingzhong's army in the mountain pass rebelled, causing the blood to dye Yu Jing redder than the silk of the dowry, and the smell of blood drowned out the rouge, and King Yu's gray head was cut off by Gu Qingzhong himself in front of the imperial steps. He actually had the face to pull Hu Die and ran over: "Look! Come and see! ”

Hu Die slapped his hand away: "What are you looking at?" ”

He was dumbfounded, rolled his eyes, and stared at Hu Die.

At that moment, Hu Die didn't know how to describe his eyes. It was as if he wanted to show Hu Die's own heart, or cut open Hu Die's heart and bury himself in it.

What did he tell Hu Die? She was calculated by King Yu. She is in a predicament, and there is no solution! Gu Qingzhong had to do this, but he couldn't tell Hu Die.

I can't tell her: King Yu doesn't really want to send you to kiss. His cultivation can no longer reverse his aging, his face is wrinkled, his hair is white, and he still loves several beauties, seeing Hu Die so beautiful, he has evil thoughts, but unfortunately she herself is obviously unwilling, and the people are facing her, and it is difficult to forcibly occupy her. King Yu had a plan, pretending to be friendly, coaxing King Zhang to pick up his relatives, he robbed Hu Die privately, imprisoned him to enjoy it, but he beat a rake and said that King Yu killed people, which can not only justifiably turn his face, raid King Yu, but also launch the people to support the war, the best of all three, isn't it good? It's such a calculation, but the queen only has one son, although she is a ****, she has no chance to ascend the throne after waiting for half a jiazi, and King Yu continues to have new favorites, and the queen is only afraid that her son's **** will be ruined, I heard that King Yu has this crazy plan, so he simply revealed it to Gu Qingzhong. Gu Qingzhong was naturally in a hurry to save people, it was the queen who took advantage of the chaos to kill King Yu, as well as the servants and old slaves around King Yu who participated in the fake and pro-conspiracy.

Gu Qingzhong originally tied up King Yu, asked Hu Die to come and see King Yu, and asked King Yu to admit his mistake to her. He didn't expect to pull her over and see such a bloody scene. His mouth opened and closed again. At this point, he also knew that explanations were useless. He is a smart man and knows very well that at this time, not only is he in the game, but he is already trapped in the game. Recklessness is dangerous.

In this way, Gu Qingzhong was unable to clarify the facts to Hu Die. Queen Yujun was very satisfied with his performance. She told him frankly: Hu Die had been poisoned by her, and Gu Qingzhong could only get the antidote by playing a good role as a usurper.

The usurper is obviously Queen Yu and her child! But she wants Gu Qingzhong to take the blame. Because the usurper is despised by everyone, and the ministers are still loyal to King Yu. Queen Yu was afraid that her mother and son would openly usurp the throne, and it would be unstable to sit on the throne, so she hoped that Gu Qingzhong would bear the charge of killing the king, and then obediently "be punished". The crown prince can ascend the throne.

What's more, Prince Yu's favorite wife candidate is Hu Die. The queen thinks about it: let Hu Die be imprisoned by the anti-thief first, and then kill the anti-thief, so as to earn the hearts of the people. Wouldn't it be the best ending for the prince to marry her and her to assist the prince?

Even Gu Qingzhong couldn't deny this. couldn't turn the tables, he had to follow the queen's script for the sake of Hu Die's good ending.

He finally found his voice. His voice was hoarse and quiet, and he admitted to Hu Die: "As you can see, I have usurped the throne. ”

The blood and stumps on the ground were footnotes to his words. Hu Die believed that he even killed the servants and old slaves around the king without mercy.

But at least he didn't kill the queen, he just wasted his wife. All the princes were killed, but only the crown prince from the queen was spared because he went to other countries on behalf of his father. As for Hu Die, he refused to marry him and was degraded to slavery by him and imprisoned.

Back then, Concubine Hua was still unwilling to be humiliated and imprisoned, how could Die Shuai be imprisoned? Hu Die fled.

Queen Yu was very happy that Hu Die had escaped. She even helped Hu Die escape! If Hu Die doesn't run. How can she continue to act in this script? Her plan was: Hu Die escaped, then killed Gu Qingzhong, and then raised the county to celebrate, the prince married Hu Die, and everything was happy.

But Queen Yu underestimated Hu Die's IQ too much.

Is it so easy for a woman who dominates the border and slaps the enemy to get past it? What's more, Hu Die is ...... Gu Qingzhong It is affectionate. She was very angry with Gu Qingzhong at the beginning, because she was deeply responsible for her love, but after thinking about it, there were still flaws in this matter, and when she combined her usual understanding of Gu Qingzhong, it became more and more wrong. When she escaped this time, Queen Yu quietly assisted her, but she was too anxious to help, Hu Die became even more suspicious, and she planned to do it, not only did she not kill Gu Qingzhong, but instead smashed Huanglong and exposed the queen's conspiracy!

Queen Yu was also blindsided, and was busy explaining to Hu Die and asking for forgiveness - pay attention, it's a request, not a request! Her queen's shelf was still there, andβ€”oh yes, she remembered! Hu Die still has her poison on her! She originally used this to coerce Gu Qingzhong into submission, but now, isn't it okay to threaten Hu Die himself? Who is not afraid of death!

Hu Die is not afraid.

She directly killed Queen Yu.

When it was time to start, Hu Die never hesitated. On the battlefield, she had seen too many examples of hesitation to the point of being victimized.

If Manshu hears Hu Die's voice here, he will definitely agree with her warmly: Yes, yes! Like in many TV movies, why can't the villain kill the protagonist? It's all because it's too crooked! obviously pointed the protagonist at the gun, but it didn't explode; Obviously, the knife is on the neck, and if you don't cut it, you have to be verbose for a while, or laugh wildly for a while, or want to insult the protagonist, and then the protagonist will explode.

No, no, Hu Die didn't want to be bombarded by Queen Yu.

She killed Queen Yu, and she didn't want to be a burden to Gu Qingzhong - after all, she was poisonous! I can't die for the time being, but it's troublesome to detoxify completely. Alas! That's how I hate it! If you are going to die anyway, then it is not bad to simply let go and enjoy the last time with Gu Qingzhong. But this poison can drag on for a long time, so it is conceivable that Gu Qingzhong will definitely use all means to renew Hu Die's life. This financial and material resources! How can you afford it? You know, he's on the cusp right now. Yu Jun is going to rely on him! How can he afford Hu Die? How could Hu Die be willing to let him bear it?

She ran away.

At that time, there was only one side of the desert, because the conditions were too harsh and the guards were not strict, so Hu Die fled there.

The desert was so hot that the air seemed to be baked to a blur.

There was an old man tidying up the shade shed in front of the door, his hands were thin and dry, his eyes were sunken, silent and patient. When a person's shadow appeared on the line where the sky intersected with the sea of sand, he just silently moved his eyes.

At first, he thought it was a caravan. Later he found out that it was just a man, dressed in white. Between the blue sky and the golden sand, that little white shadow is particularly eye-catching. In order to reflect light and heat, white clothes are a common color in the desert. But people walking alone in the desert are not common, and it is equivalent to looking for death! The old man looked and looked, but went back to the house to hide from the sun. When he came out again, the lone traveler had approached his house.

It's a woman, not very young, but still beautiful. Even if you are so haggard by the scorching heat, it is still beautiful. Even though her forehead was too wide, her bones were too stiff, and her expression was too cold and proud, her eyes reminded the old man of a dream he had when he was young.

The deep pool in the dream reflects a little starlight. He sank into it and barely wanted to wake up.

The woman's white robe is of good texture. She lifted the sleeves of her robe, took off the gold bracelet from her wrist and gave it to the old man, and said, "Water." ”

Full of red gold. The sun hits it, burning and piercing the eyes. Her lips were parched like cracked earth that had been unirrigated for an entire spring. She had a red scar on her wrist.

The old man knew she needed water. But water in the desert is very expensive, even more expensive than gold.

So the woman lifted up the sleeve on the other side and took off the beads. The beads were the size of a dragon's eye.

Behind the dusty little window, a pair of eyes widened. The old man reluctantly continued to say to the woman: If she wants more water, then it is better to give more gold, silver and jewelry.

Although her eyes were as beautiful as the most beautiful Xingtan he could dream of when he was young, he was no longer young. His old woman stared from behind the window. He had to be realistic. How expensive is water in the desert? Maybe. Anyway, this woman has no choice. He saw that she had scars on both wrists, and the arc made him realize that it was the marks left by the shackles.

To the south of the desert is Yujun. The woman is a prisoner, who escaped from there, right? Only by crossing the desert can you enter another county and breathe for a while. Fugitives have no room for bargaining. The woman gave the old man all the jewels on her body. The old woman handed out a half-worn white linen robe from the door. The old man was stunned, and the old woman stabbed him hard with her sackcloth. The old man asked the woman to change the precious white robe. The woman did not protest. When she lifted her robe, the old man saw that the lines of her body were so beautiful, like a female leopard in a picture book. However, so tired, it is a female leopard on the verge of death.

The old woman coughed violently in the door, poked a kettle at the old man, and asked him to hand it over to the woman.

The precious kettle that was exchanged for jewelry and clothes was only the size of a palm, and the water inside was not even full.

The woman was stunned. The old man thought she was finally going to be angry, but she laughed. The smile was as proud as the most beautiful rose that could bloom in the sun, and the old man suddenly remembered the legendary Yu Jun's butterfly handsome.

The woman raised her hand and lifted the sun-shaded robe and cap, revealing her neck. From her neck to her ears, there is a mark of a slave in Yujun, which is usually supposed to be on it, but it seems that the executioner also cherished her face, and painted it only with plant pigments that are insoluble in water. The woman used a small pot of water in exchange for this jeweled robe, vigorously rinsed the blue-black mark, and finally asked, "Have they all been washed off?" ”

The old man and the old woman were already stunned.

With so much effort, almost a layer of skin was rubbed off, and the water was all used up viciously, and the mark had indeed been washed.

The woman pressed her still wet fingers between her dry and cracked lips, returned the kettle to the old man, and said, "Thank you." Then he walked away.

It was impossible for her to get out of the desert, so she didn't bargain at all. But as long as you are alive, you must continue to take one more step in the direction of freedom, and you will definitely not bear the mark of a slave.

She gradually disappeared from the sight of the old couple. There was another burst of sand rolling up to the south. An army that is approaching at the fastest marching speed allowed in the desert. A young general at the head was of ordinary appearance, but his eyebrows were as black as a crow's feather. His eyes were full of anxiety and he asked, "Have you seen a woman?" ”

Before the old man could reply, the general had already seen the pearl of the dragon's eye that he had not had time to put away.

So an arc of knives slashed, and another one. Before they could figure out what was happening, the two heads flew into the air and fell heavily. Blood gushed out, and was greedily absorbed by the golden sand.

The sand rolled up again, and the army pulled out again. Some soldiers were dizzy, I don't know if it was because of the sunshine or because of the incredible mission: they were chasing the benefactor of the people of Yujun, the best "dream weaver", and the legendary butterfly handsome!

Hu Die fainted to death in the depths of the desert.

She thought she was dead, but in the fog, she seemed to hear a bird feather rubbing her cheek? She struggled to open her eyes. The golden shackles had locked back into her wrists. A tall figure leaned against the window. The sun shone on his shoulders, so bright that it was almost lonely. When he heard the movement, he turned around, his eyebrows were as black as crow's feathers, and his gaze was so gentle that Hu Die felt pain. She had to look down to see the cup in his hand. The stone octagonal dragon was originally a relic of her father.

That year, her class teacher returned to the court, drank with him, and left this cup to him.

The scene is still in front of me. Now, Gu Qingzhong, who was already dressed in a royal robe, looked down at the wine glass, and his eyes became gentle. If time can stand still......

Hu Die pulled up the golden shackles and scolded him: "What have you done? Our people could have recuperated. I persuaded the king with great difficulty. But you, youβ€”" Voices choked.

She didn't remember that she had uncovered Queen Yu's conspiracy.

She didn't remember that Queen Yu had a conspiracy.

Her memory turned back to the state of being shocked and angry at Gu Qingzhong when she had just seen the miserable situation of blood flowing all over the ground.

Gu Qingzhong put down his hand and looked at Hu Die.

At that moment, Hu Die didn't know how to describe his eyes.

Then he turned his head and walked away, leaving behind a word: "You have a good rest." ”

Hu Die looked out the window uncomfortably. She didn't know that she was really dead.

After she fled, she never came out of the desert again. Now she is just a living bone. Now this room with golden shackles is just a peaceful place for Gu Qingzhong to spread a dream net and weave for her.

First of all, he wants to convince her that this is what is really happening, so that she can stay here with peace of mind, without doubting and struggling, and break through the dreamnet and go back to be a living bone.

After the real dreamweaver coaxes the living bones in the dreamnet, he wants to take the opportunity to kill the living bones. And what did Gu Qingzhong want to do by trapping Hu Die here?

Nobody knows.

Hu Die didn't know.

She just looked out the window and thought: What is her life like this? I managed to escape once, but I was caught back and locked up. It will be difficult to run again next time. What should she do?

She also thought that Gu Qingzhong might find someone to persuade her. But unexpectedly, Gu Qingzhong was looking for the former queen of Yu County.

When he saw the former queen of Yujun again, Hu Die suspected that it was a dream.

Actually, of course, this is a dream. The former queen of Yu Jun has long since died. Now that she can still appear here, it is an illusion specially created by Gu Qingzhong. What did he do after he made the former king?

Hu Die looked at the former queen of Yu Jun. She has always felt that the former queen has an excellent temperament, but now in her eyes, the former queen has experienced great difficulties, and it is rare that she is still so graceful, maybe her body and face are a little thinner...... Maybe it's just Hu Die's delusion. Hu Die stared at her, turned his head to look out the window, listened for a while, and then looked at her again. The former queen of Yu Jun smiled and said, "What are you looking at?" ”

"It seems that there is a bird calling, I thought it was vast." Hu Die felt suspicious and embarrassed, "You know? At the beginning of Montnet, there are birds in the vastβ€”"

The mantra that the Dream Weaver teaches to the introductory apprentice. When Hu Die and Gu Qingzhong joined forces to spread the dream net and stepped into her father's dream, the bird spread its feathers, fluffy as a cloud, and silent as a secret that could never be spoken. It silently glanced at Hu Die and Gu Qingzhong, spread its wings, and melted into mist in this world. Gu Qingzhong asked Hu Die with a straight face: "Didn't I slap your hand away?" Why do you still come in? Rushing to die?! ”

She didn't answer, but asked, "Why did you come?" ”

"I'm a general." Gu Qingzhong frowned, pulled her arm tightly, motioned for her to follow him, and looked around nervously, "Forget it!" Since I'm here, I'll let you know that this bird's name is Cangwanβ€”"

"It is the condensation of clouds, the embodiment of dreams, and the chirp declares that dreams are broken. If we don't give in to our goal, struggle to get away, and shake it up, we fail. The only way to reassure the target, let him find the sweet dream, and refuse to leave again. After Hu Die finished speaking in one breath, he took Gu Qingzhong's hand in turn, "Don't be afraid, general, follow me." After all, this is ...... O my father. ”

The former queen of Yujun was waiting for Hu Die, and seemed to be willing to listen to her about the past adventures with Gu Qingzhong.

Hu Die came back to his senses and apologized: "I'm sorry, I ...... Nothing to say. ”

The former queen of Yujun sighed: "I have heard people say for a long time: Die Shuai is sensitive to action and is not good at words. I'm not going to cheat. ”

Hu Die couldn't answer.

She didn't speak, and the queen of Yu Jun did. The tongue is lotus, and the heart is relieved, all of which persuade Hu Die to submit to Gu Qingzhong, which is good for himself.

Of course, this was later persuaded by Gu Qingzhong's order to Yu Junqianwang. Maybe threatened her with her child's life? Hu Die didn't know. She only replied to the former queen of Yu County: "Niangniang is precious, don't waste your efforts." You've only seen dead butterflies, how many have you seen butterflies that could be domesticated in captivity? ”

The former queen of Yujun sighed and left.

Hu Die clenched his fists tightly: When the former queen of Yu Jun was talking nonsense against her will, she found an opportunity and handed Hu Die a note. Finding an opportunity, Hu Die read this note, and according to the clever plan above, he agreed with the henchmen of the former queen of Yu Jun, pretended to agree to the marriage, and took the opportunity to ambush Gu Qingzhong.

That sword was stabbed into Gu Qingzhong's abdomen by Hu Die's own hands. He may be better than her, but when it comes to strategy, he is never as good as her.

But Hu Die didn't stab the sword deep enough. Something seemed to be holding her hand. Gu Qingzhong stared at her in surprise, and she also looked at her hand in surprise.

Her hands were shaking.

Before he could figure out what he was thinking, Hu Die found that the whole world was shaking, and there were bird wings trembling, who was shouting: General, it's better to go back!

Gu Qingzhong clenched his sword and shouted to Hu Die: "It's an earthquake!" (To be continued.) )
