"No," Shi Qing knew that xù had been seen by Sang Hongyang, so he no longer concealed it, and said: "It's just a moment of emotion, thinking that Yang Chengzhu that old fox man died, and it also makes people feel uneasy." ”

"What do you mean by that?" When Sang Hongyang heard this, he was slightly surprised, and his eyes were puzzled:

Back then, Yang Chengzhu accidentally met Zhang Xianling and his wife, and knew that the two of them had nothing to do with their knees for many years, but Mrs. Zhang was extremely fierce, and Zhang Xianling was afraid that he could not take a concubine. The couple was very worried. Therefore, Yang Chengzhu fell in love with this family, and sent the little young master Liu Che to his home on a cold night in the middle of winter. In addition to the surprise of Zhang County's couple, it was even more secret, just when this child was given to them by God, it hurt more and more to the bones. In the following years, Yang Chengzhu and them happened to meet in Yici County, and all kinds of help, and the county order and Yang Cheng Zhaoxin set a doll kiss......

Thinking of this, Sang Hongyang's eyes lit up, "Teacher, Hongyang knows." Yang Chengzhu deliberately made this move back then, the purpose was to protect his daughter, thinking that even if he was not there in the future, he would want his son to see the friendship with his daughter since childhood, so he couldn't bear it, and tried his best to protect Yang Chengzhao's trust. ”

Shi Qing bowed his head, his eyes were grim, "He still calculated in the end, although Gongzi was not a person who had a long and heroic relationship like King Hengshan and Emperor Jing back then, and Yang Cheng Zhaoxin was not a beauty." But. After all, she is the daughter of the old fox, although she usually looks reckless and confused, but she is not ambiguous at all when she does big things, and now she has retained a part of her son's mind. ”

Sang Hongyang said secretly: Children are long and heroes are short of breath, but this truth is right. If it weren't for the two beauties of Wang Wan and Wei Zifu, King Hengshan and Emperor Jing back then, why would the court of the Han Dynasty be like this now. The teacher is the most decisive in his life, and he is very clear in the beauties of the country, otherwise he would not marry one of his daughters to Liu Qu and the other to Wei Qing.

It's a pity that one mountain can't accommodate two tigers, and although the teacher and Nayang Chengzhu are the same master, they are incompatible, and they have been fighting openly and secretly for many years. However, now that Yang Chengzhu is dead, how can a dead person fight a living person, not to mention that Childe has also made his attitude clear.

Teacher, in the end won.

In this world, there are those who think that the living cannot fight the dead, because the dead are dead, they have become the cinnabar that can never be erased from the heart, and can never be recovered, so that it becomes the most precious; There will also be those who think that the dead can't fight the living, because as long as they are alive, there is still hope and a chance to win.

And sometimes, life or death, dead or living, the boundaries are so blurred.

This night, Liu went back to Weiyang Palace, and Su Wen came to report and said: "Miss Tao invited the Taishi to the dormitory for a gathering, saying that she had something to ask for." ”

He came back from Zhao Xing's place, unhappy, and passed the maid to go to Shi Ruoyan's place, and when he heard the words, he sent the maid back and drove to Tao Wangqing's bedroom.

Before I even stepped into the courtyard, I heard the sound of a piano.

He immediately froze, and for a moment, there seemed to be an invisible barrier in the courtyard, so that he could not take a single step, so he could only clench his fists and listen outside...... This one, many years ago, a woman named Tao Ajiao loved to play the tune.

"Master, the minion is going to go in and pass it on?" Su Wen led a group of attendants, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but change his expression, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked cautiously.

Liu Qu reprimanded: "Su Wen, you are so bold. ”

Su Wen was deflated, and he shrunk his shoulders and silenced.

I saw Liu Qu standing in the cool night with his hands in his hands, his eyes were as deep as a pool, as if he was about to overturn Tao Wangqing's entire courtyard, and there seemed to be a smile between his eyebrows.

Tao, A, Jiao......

That was the most painful and beautiful part of Liu Qu's memory. Just thinking about it, it seems that even breathing aches faintly.

This time, it's the same.

The past that was deliberately and carefully covered up could no longer hold back, and quietly floated up, floated up—

"Seven latitudes, with light and celestial phenomena; The five sexes are logical, and adults act ......"

According to the Han rule, the children of high-ranking officials in the court were allowed to go to the Qilin Pavilion in the Weiyang Palace to receive education with the princes and princesses when they reached a certain age. The rulers of the Han Dynasty were still very successful, and the Han Dynasty was established not long ago, and the foundation was still shallow, so he asked these future monarchs to have a good relationship with these second-generation officials who would work together in the future from an early age.

Children generally begin to receive the teachings of Taifu at the age of three, although they may not be able to understand something at a young age, but the fragrance of books is edified, imperceptibly, and a few years have passed, and they have always enhanced some insight and bearing.

At that time, Liu Qu, the prince of Guangchuan, had been doing chores in the palace because of his mother-in-law's troubles, and he did not enter the Qilin Pavilion until he was ten years old.

Besides, at that time, it was Taifu Shiqing who asked him to endorse the book, and Liu went to choke on his back, and he could no longer recite the slightest bit of it.

The princes and princesses laughed.

Although the children of the other court officials did not dare to be presumptuous, they also covered their mouths and snickered.

He originally picked a remote seat, but he couldn't escape the question of Mrs. Shi, who was instructed by his grandmother to treat him harshly.

Liu Qu echoed the crowd and chuckled, but his heart was bitter, lest his grandmother would know and dislike him, so he said to his father and beat him back to his original place.

A voice suddenly reminded him softly, "Walking like is beautiful, and beauty is smooth; Mrs. is lost, and the loss lies in the reverse ...... Don't memorize by rote, think and understand first, so that you can remember. Liu Ergongzi, you want everything to be beautiful with its smooth light, if you go against the grain, there will inevitably be a mistake, so the seven latitudes are against the sky, and the five natures are against humanity. Change does not cause disaster, defeat does not hurt the practitioner, there is no more. Mountains and seas compete for water, and water must return to the sea, and if it is not sought by the sea, its momentum is also ...... Therefore, people who want to achieve great things do not need to be too persistent, the development of things has its own laws, as long as you accumulate steadily, build a foundation first, and follow the trend......"

He recited it, the laughter stopped, and the ring ruler in Shi Taifu's hand stopped in mid-air.

The girl's eyelashes blinked, "Don't thank me too much." ”

"Why did you help me?"

"Because the road is uneven, of course you have to draw a sword to help. Okay, okay, if you have to have a reason, you should do it. That I think this son, you are full of heaven, and you will definitely be a person who can achieve great things in the future, little girl, I will make friends with you here first, and when he has a bright future for his son, don't forget to take care of me, and my uncle's family, haha. ”

The other girl next to her immediately panicked and said, "Sister Gillian, what are you talking about!" Second son Liu, we have no intention of doing so......"

Later, she brought him a lot of books, saying that there were not many other books in her uncle's house, and there were a lot of these old books, so he should not dislike them. He opened the book and saw that it was full of her reading notes and mood notes, the content of which ranged from bookish meaning to extension, from sadness to pleasure, meticulous and pleasant.

There is a piece of paper that says, "If others have ten times more knowledge than you, you will work eleven times more than them." It's not terrible to be under someone else's roof, it's terrible to be under someone else's roof forever.

There is no shortage of delicacies in the palace, but every time she enters the palace, she still has to bring him some snacks: things like dorayaki, spicy hot, bubble tea and other things he has never eaten......

He worked day and night to catch up with his studies, and she said to stop and rest so that her brain would be relaxed and her study efficiency would be better......

She taught him poetry, taught him to sing strange songs, occasionally told bad jokes to make him happy, and he taught her to ride a horse......

Three years later, he became the best child in Qilin Pavilion's homework, and no one dared to look down on him anymore. Many girls in the Qilin Pavilion began to pay attention to him quietly, including Gillian's sister. Liu Wen, Liu Ju and others were subdued by him one after another, but became his little followers, calling "master" and "second brother" all day long, but her title to him changed from "Liu Ergongzi" to "Liu Go".

Later, everyone grew up and never went to the Qilin Pavilion again. There are fewer opportunities for her to enter the palace, and he can only go out of the palace to see her occasionally.

Time was in a hurry, and on the night of the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet, she quietly left the table, and he followed quietly.

In the dark, she gave him a hand-embroidered upper, saying that she wished him one day to step on these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains under his feet, be his own master, and no longer be despised and bullied.

It was also that night, in the shadow of the swaying tree, that he took her into his arms.

Later, in order to train his courage and ruthlessness, Wei Zifu personally selected one of the princes of Emperor Jing of Han for him to deal with, and let him try to put the child to death.

He had a thousand ways to do it, but he couldn't bear to do it.

After all, it was an innocent child who was about the same as him.

He told her what happened.

She said, "Liu Qu, you are so tired, why don't we get out of here?" Over the years, the gold and silver treasures you have given me are enough for us to live without worry for the rest of our lives. My mother has returned to her hometown, and we will go there quietly, okay? ”

He smiled and asked her, "Aren't you waiting for me to trample this country under my feet?" ”

She laughed too, "It's just a joke." It's not because you can give me anything that I like you. No matter who you are, even if you are worthless, you are a clear sky for Gillian. ”

They made an appointment to meet outside the imperial city and traveled away together.

That night, however, he was late.

He thought about it a lot, but after all, he couldn't leave behind his promise to Wei Zifu, the mystery of his biological mother's murder, and perhaps, the ambition that had slowly accumulated over the years - to achieve great things and become the lord of this river and mountain.

When he arrived, the moon was dark and the wind was high, the grass was green, and she was scarlet, lying in a pool of blood, already dead.

What she was holding in her hand was the jade pendant he had given her.

Her face, her body...... Dozens of stabs.

He almost went insane!

It was a secret agreement between them, and no one knew about it.

But he knew that there was someone who knew him well, and he had heard from the palace people that that person had looked for her!

He held her corpse and went straight to Wei Zifu's bedroom like a madman.

Wei Zifu was also shocked, slapped him hard, and sneered: "It wasn't done by this palace." Even if this palace does it, this deserves it! Who asked her to seduce you out of this palace! This palace raises you and teaches you, and you haven't reciprocated, so it's so rebellious! Who can you do now? This palace is full of open guns and hidden arrows, Liu Go, you can't even protect the things you care about the most, and you still want to seek revenge from this palace? If you want to be autonomous, if you want no one to dare to mess with you, no one is afraid of you, and no one dares to touch your things, try to make yourself stronger! ”

After that, he did not hesitate to make a plan, and ordered the first emperor to kill a prince around him who wanted to compete with him, and he did a good job and was beautiful, but he could never find the murderer of Gillian.

Disheartened, he asked the imperial doctor for medicine to eat, and his face was suddenly covered with something shaped like leprosy, and he left the palace with that ugly and filthy appearance.

This approach is a bit self-defeating. Without his handsome appearance, without the aura of identity, and without his use value, no one will love him, he is just a man named Hanako. Anyway, the two people in this world who really love him have died one after another, so what does it matter who he is?

No one thought that he would leave so decisively, and Wei Zifu thought that he was just going out for a walk and had no obstruction.

Therefore, it was later discovered that he was missing, and when the palace was in turmoil and many people were dispatched to look for him, he had already left Chang'an.

He bought a carriage, put himself in coarse cloth, and walked slowly in the middle of nowhere.

After walking for more than half a month, he had already gone south to a poor country.

The village was not small, with hundreds of families, but it was very poor.

Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft water, more self-sufficiency on weekdays, raising some poultry, planting some fields and fruits and vegetables for a living, sometimes several families go into the mountains together to hunt some game, and occasionally go out to the market to mix some oil, salt and cloth tea back.

He was bored when he saw people, so he simply entered a deep mountain and old forest not far from the village.

I walked in for most of the day, but I didn't expect to meet the miners.

It turned out that there was a dry riverbed in this mountain, and a jade merchant who often traveled from south to north to find a vein of jade found it, so he sent his brother and his subordinates to supervise the work, and hired a large number of poor families to mine jade in this nearby village.

On the river, dozens of men with shovels, pickaxes and other tools were digging desperately in a muddy sweat, except for the strong men, some women and old men.

Liu Qu looked at it coldly, walked out when it was dark, and thought of catching some fish and shrimp in a small river next door to satisfy his hunger.

He had gone as he pleased, and when he was hungry, he would buy something to feed his stomach, but he had not prepared any food, knowing that the place had been hit by a drought before, and the water source was empty, and the fish and birds had disappeared.

The people working on both sides of the river were astonished when they saw him, and immediately an overseer drove him away from afar, and shouted: "Where did the leprosy come from, get out of here!" ”

The rest of the people did not dare to come near him, for fear of being infected, so they threw stones at him and scolded him angrily.

He didn't need them to drive him out, but he hid himself in the jungle in search of food, but he couldn't find it.

Later, when it was dark, it was pouring rain, drenching him throughout. He remembered that there was a cave near the jade mine, so he searched for it.

"You leper don't come to provoke people, or I'll beat you to death!"

Every cave was inhabited by people, overseers and miners, all of whom drove him away with sticks with wide eyes. Even the women looked very fierce.

He thought to himself: The first thing these people say when they see him is not to ask what is wrong with you or what is wrong with you, but to expel him, and if they ask, he may tell them. They don't have to be afraid of him, they can even rush up and kill him. But these people don't ask......

Seeing him standing in front of the cave with his hands in his hands, people finally had a trace of fear, as if his eyes were dark green wolf eyes, and someone swallowed saliva and took a few steps back.

He looked at it coldly and left with a cold body.

He searched all the way, and finally found a cave, in which there seemed to be no sound, and when he walked in, he heard a shout, "You, you, who are you?" ”

There was a kerosene lamp in the cave, and a boy of thirteen or fourteen years of age with a plain appearance was sitting cross-legged on the ground, eating a baked cake, and at the sight of him, his bread fell to the ground in shock.

He smiled coldly and went out.

"Hey, come in, it's raining heavily." The young man shouted from behind.

He wanted to laugh in his heart, not without irony, but was he not afraid of him or disliked him? He wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in this man's gourd!

He folded back.

The young man glared at him, pointed to the other side of the cave, and said, "Hey, boy, you go over there, the master sleeps here, the Chu River Han Realm, you dare to come over, see if the master doesn't chop you to death." ”

As he spoke, the man picked up a stone on the ground, and drew a line crookedly in the hole.

He clapped his hands, picked up the baked cake on the ground and wiped it vigorously, and ate it again, after eating, he grabbed a small wine jug next to him, drank a few sips, wiped his lips, and said, "Cool!" ”

As he watched, he felt that his hunger was getting worse and worse, and his stomach sounded faintly, which sounded extremely clear in this empty cave.

The young man was reaching for another baked cake from the oiled paper bag on the ground, and glanced at him, "Hey, aren't you a miner?" Why don't they give you rations? Birds here do not lay eggs, and they can only eat in the villages a few miles away and then in the depths of the mountains and forests, so they send people to the village early to hire people to cook rice and make cakes, and send them here to put food when they get off work. On this hot day, the dry food will not be left long before it will become rancid, I didn't bring any grain here, I heard from the villagers that they were working here, so I went to those overseers, and said that from tomorrow I will join the mining, and they will also share my food, how can you ......"

Liu Qu listened to his chatter, only felt funny, and said coldly: "Do you think they will invite a leper to work?" ”

"Then how did you get here?" The young man pouted, "Isn't this looking for guilt?" There's nothing here, starve you. ”

"Where else can someone like me go? Didn't you get beaten to death? ”

He scoffed, and slowly stood up, intending to go out and find something to eat. He didn't know what he wanted to do after leaving the palace, but he didn't want to die yet, he didn't want to starve.

On the night of his mother's death, he felt that the whole sky had fallen, but his mother held his hand and said, "I have to live no matter what." ”

In those years, he lived like a pig and a dog, he didn't know why she said this, he just wanted to die with her, and leave the dirty house where there was no sunlight all year round.

He cried and asked her, "Why do you want to live alone?" Is it because you want your son to avenge you? ”

She also seemed to wonder why she said this, she thought about it, did not mention revenge at all, and only said in a dumb voice: "Go to illness, life may be able to wait until the day of happiness." ”

At that moment, he understood his mother's words, it was just a mother who simply wanted her child to survive, just live.

He promised her.

Then, she smiled and walked away with her eyes open.

Later, he never thought of suicide again.

Even if Gillian is dead.

"Hey, don't go out, it's raining heavily, you'll get gonorrhea. I'm not going to eat it, here you go. The young man sighed and pushed both the oil paper bag and the wine across the "Chu River Han Realm".

He was stunned for a moment, and coldly pushed the thing back, "I don't have anything on me to repay you." ”

"Just a baked cake and a pot of wine, the master can afford it." The boy snorted and waved his hand.

The cave was originally arranged with some soft grass by the mining team, and several people stayed here at night, but they did not have to rush back to the village to spend the night, wasting their energy and time. The young man pulled a coat from the baggage he carried with him and spread it on the grass, lay down to watch him eat and drink, and stared at him with a pair of black eyes as he slowly eliminated his baked cakes, and couldn't help but say indignantly: "If I knew that I would give it to you, I would give you the dirty half that fell to the ground." ”

Liu Quben chewed the cake and squirted out when he heard the words.

The boy gloated and laughed wildly.

Liu went and pushed the small half-pot of wine back to him.

The young man's eyes lit up, and he licked his lips and said, "Don't you like to drink?" ”

Liu Qu said lightly: "I don't eat what others have eaten." ”

The young man took a sip of wine, squirted out when he heard the words, and pointed at him tremblingly, "Damn, you still dare to dislike me?" It's good to have alcohol to drink. ”

Liu Qu ignored him, put his hand on the back of his head, and fell asleep, not caring about the cold and hardness of the ground, which he had tasted thousands of times many years ago. (To be continued.) )
