Chapter 396: It was I who gave up on the second prince
Li Mengji sat in the carriage, with the box containing the silver ticket given to him by the second prince on his lap, and closed his eyes to recuperate. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
When the carriage stopped, he opened his eyes.
The car door was opened, and outside the door were the two guards ordered by the second prince to escort Li Mengji.
I saw a guard smiling and saying, "Sir, it's here, come down." ”
At this time, it was already night, the sky was full of stars, it stands to reason that escorting Li Mengji to other county towns should not be so non-stop, a whole day of rapid driving, from morning to night, did not stop at all, did not even stop on the way for lunch, did not give Li Mengji a bite of dry food, such behavior, it is really not like "Mr. Whenever there is the slightest injury, you are the only one who asks".
Li Mengji quietly glanced at the guards, got out of the carriage, looked around, and sighed leisurely: "The mountains are towering, the cliffs are steep, the moon and stars are scarce, it is really an excellent place to bury bones."
The two guards were stunned for a moment, looking at each other, and the guard who asked Li Mengji to get off the car had admiration on his face, "Sure enough, he is worthy of being a doorman relied on by His Highness, Mr. actually guessed that His Highness's orders were indeed not wrong." ”
Li Mengji held the box in one hand and behind his back with the other, and took a step forward.
The two guards immediately pressed their hands on the hilt of the sword at their waists and looked at Li Mengji vigilantly.
Li Mengji laughed, "Don't be too nervous, I, a powerless literati, can't escape under your noses." ”
His attitude was leisurely, not at all as if he was about to be killed, but as if he was playing in the mountains and rivers, and he felt a lot of emotion when he saw the mountains and rivers.
"Sir, since you already know what we're up to, why waste your time? Our brother hasn't eaten for a day, so let's get you off sooner and go back early to have a good meal. The guard laughed out loud and took another step towards Li Mengji.
A chuckle spat out of Li Mengji's throat, "I did my best for His Highness, but in the end, I couldn't escape death...... Hey, it's a pity to follow the wrong master, and your life is up to you! ”
This sigh, the self-deprecation in the words, made the two guards also rise in their hearts a feeling of sadness and sadness, they have been by His Highness's side for a long time, and they also know that Li Mengji has always given advice to His Highness, but now he is going to be abandoned by His Highness, no matter how many things Li Mengji has done for His Highness, when Li Mengji has threatened His Highness, he will only end up in a different place. To put it in detail, their role may not be as powerful as Li Mengji, His Royal Highness Li Mengji will give up if he says that he will give up, and they will hinder His Highness one day, and they will end up in the same fate.
For a moment, there was no speech between the three of them, the silence was incomparable, and the call of an owl in the night sky was particularly clear.
Li Mengji put his hands behind his back, his wide sleeves flew up, he looked around, and went in one direction, the faces of the two guards behind him changed, and he said urgently: "Sir, what are you going to do?"
Li Mengji ignored it, kept walking, walked to the cliff, turned around to look at the two guards, a light laugh spit out from his mouth, gradually, the chuckle turned into a big laugh, and tears appeared in the corners of his eyes with laughter, "Thinking about my Li Mengji's life, how could I have thought that there would be such an end?" That's it, that's it, it's just a dream......"
He stretched out his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, with a calm smile on his face, as if he was gossiping, "Even if I want to die, I can't be killed by you......
If I die, that's my own death, not being killed by the second prince......"
The two guards thought to themselves, what's the difference? It's all a death anyway.
"Of course there is, the second prince wanted me to die, and he abandoned me. I died by myself, and it was I who gave up the second prince. ”
Li Mengji didn't say anything about His Royal Highness, and directly called him "Second Prince".
The guard muttered, "The literati's high ......"
Li Mengji didn't pay any attention to the two guards, turned around and took a step forward, the breeze blew, the robe swayed, like a fairy who was about to ride the wind away, and the two guards couldn't help but take two steps forward.
To be honest, they don't believe that Li Mengji has the courage to jump down, you must know that this is a cliff, jumping down so high, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is broken bones, Li Mengji is a literati, really dare to jump?
"Goo-goo"
The owl called twice, and Li Mengji took two steps forward again, and in these two steps, the rocks under his feet had already rolled down, and he couldn't hear the sound, so you can imagine how high it is.
"A glimpse of the mountains and ...... Haha, Li Mou will ...... if he goes" Li Mengji shouted, stretched out his arms, and jumped down like wings.
The faces of the two guards changed greatly, and they stepped forward one after another, the road on the cliff was narrow, and there was no room for two people walking side by side, they glanced at each other, one went forward, and the other followed closely, just like that, when they came to the position where Li Mengji was standing, they slowly stretched out their heads to look down, but they couldn't see anything.
Because it was already dark, it was faint, and it was not clear at all, so naturally they did not see it, and before they could look out, the shadow under the cliff flickered a few times and disappeared.
"What now? Mr. Li jumped from here, there is no chance of survival, should we go down and check? One of the guards asked, frowning.
"Of course, didn't Your Highness order us to see the corpse when we die?" Another guard said that in their mission, there was no such thing as a living person at all, and Li Mengji fled to the ends of the earth and died! These are the exact words of His Highness.
"Besides, have you forgotten the box with the silver ticket in his hand? Didn't His Highness also acquiesce to us in dividing the money equally with him? The guard continued.
"You're right, in that case, let's go down and have a look." The other guard gladly accepted.
The two turned around and left, and went down to the ground under the cliff from the other side, the two of them held torches, cautiously, and only came to the place where Li Mengji died when the sky was polished early the next morning.
Seeing the corpse, the two were silent, "Let's go and have a look." ”
walked to the corpse, flipped it slightly, and the corpse face down was turned over, seeing the face beyond recognition, Rao is two ruthless hearts couldn't help frowning, it was no longer a face, and the flesh and blood were blurred.
"The clothes are the ones Mr. Li is wearing, and the body is similar, falling from such a height, face down, and the flesh and blood are blurred." One of the guards said in a deep voice.
"Found it, the box is here." Another guard looked around and found the box not far from the body.
"Let's bury Mr. Li, it's better than him being eaten by wild beasts." The guard sighed, "If you take so much money from other people, you will always have to bury your bones for others." ”
In the end, it was Li Mengji's words that made the two of them feel related, and the other agreed, and soon a simple grave was built.
bowed to Mr. Li before he said, "Let's go, go back and pay the errand."
And in the prince's mansion, there was a person who gave a big salute to the prince, "Ji Mengli has seen His Royal Highness." ”
This person's face is the dead Li Mengji! (To be continued.) )
