Chapter 3: Grace and Righteousness
I don't know if it was a deliberate arrangement by God or a coincidence, the three of them met more and more often, and the relationship gradually improved. It's just that Yun Jing and Qing Kite keep bickering and making noise as long as they touch each other, and no one obeys anyone, and they can't live in peace for a moment. The relationship between the three of them has been improved step by step in every quarrel and Yun Ting's patient persuasion, and I don't know when the three of them have become an inseparable part of each other. I don't know when Yun Jing's heart began to have the shadow of a clear kite. But he knew clearly in his heart that Yun Ting had always liked Qing Kite, and he couldn't ask for such feelings, let alone dare to ask for them.
On that day, he left the government affairs of the army and got drunk and fell unconscious in the restaurant alone. He came to the East Lake again, wanting to see the white lotus in the lake again that night, and see the beautiful shadow that made his heart move. But it was winter, there was thick ice on the lake, and the white lotus had long since disappeared, and there was no clear kite in that place. That night, he lay on the icy surface of the lake, crying like a child.
A few days later, the sky was cold, and hundreds of white lotus flowers bloomed proudly on the thick ice of East Lake. People looked closely and found that those white lotuses were made of white silk, and each one was vivid and lifelike.
Qing Kite didn't say anything when he saw this qiē, but he knew it in his heart, but some uncertain looks flashed in his eyes.
Fortunately, the advent of a war without warning made Yun Jing temporarily escape this qiē, but his heart never let go. Due to his distraction during the battle, it was too late when he noticed the oncoming broadsword, and just when he thought he was going to die, he only heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and Yun Ting blocked the knife for himself, and plunged his gun into the enemy general's chest......
"My Yunting's younger brother is also something that a little person like you can bully!" After shouting at the corpse of the enemy general, he fell to the ground unconscious.
Although he won the battle this time, Yun Jing was never happy, and his heart was full of guilt for Yun Ting. Back in the house, he closed the door and thanked the guests, taking care of Yun Ting undressed, praying that he would wake up soon.
One night, he took the ginseng soup sent by Mrs. Yun, and it didn't take long for him to feel that his whole body seemed to be drained of strength, and he was thinking about what was going on, when he saw Mrs. Yun walking in with a dagger, she glared at Yun Jing, and her eyes were no longer gentle and kind in the past, replaced by bitter hatred.
"Mother, you ......"
"Shut up, I'm not your mother! Yun Ting is my child, and you are the humble son of the Yun family! ”
"Mother...... What nonsense are you talking about! ”
"I'm not talking nonsense, you and Yun Ting were born a few days apart, Aunt Qiu secretly exchanged you in order for you to be able to get the identity of the Yun family's sister-in-law, and Yun Ting's nurse told me this secret before she died."
"You're going to kill me because of this?"
"I killed you not only because you took away what my son deserved, but also because he almost died because of you!" Madame Yun raised her dagger and stabbed at Yun Jing like crazy, Yun Jing was powerless to dodge, and endured the pain and suffered from Madame Yun's knife after knife.
Seeing this, Zhiyan's heart suddenly hurt, and she seemed to feel the same heartache and helplessness as Yun Jing, and at the same time, many fragments of memories poured into her mind at once, and she felt these fragments, holding Ze Ran's hand and trembling.
"Yan'er, you ...... What happened to you? Zeran asked with concern.
"It's fine, it's just that I suddenly feel a little sick."
"You're not in good health today...... Do you want to continue? ”
"Of course, once a deal is made, it doesn't just stop."
"Don't say so much, Zeran, let's keep looking."
With the warmth coming from Ze Ran's hand, Zhiyan felt a little relieved, she recast the spell and entered Yun Jing's memory again.
Yun Jing did not die, he was rescued by Yun Father and the guards who followed the sound, after this / night, his heart felt more lonely and desolate, after recovering from his injuries for a few minutes, Yun Jing moved out of Yun Mansion on the grounds that he wanted to recuperate with peace of mind, and Yun Ting, the Yun family no longer had anything to do with it. He knew that he couldn't pay it back anymore, so it was better not to see each other again, forget each other, and be well.
Yun Ting came to visit him, but he also disappeared for some reason, and he also broke off contact with Qing Kite. When there is a war, he goes to fight, and when he is free, he drinks and has fun in the house and the restaurant, which seems to be chic and happy, but in fact, he borrows wine to kill his sorrows.
The last thing Yun Jing wants to face is still here, and an invitation to Yun Ting's wedding with Qing Kite brings him back to reality from his own world.
He wore the mask with the perfect smile to the wedding, and he once again drunk himself to the joy and applause of the guests.
On the night of the wedding, he sat in the garden, looking at the jubilant new house over there, and his heart was filled with bitterness.
"Why is it drinking here alone?" Yun Ting sat down beside him, a smile as warm as the sun on his face.
"Big brother?! You ......"
"If you still know that I am your eldest brother, please leave."
“……”
Yun Ting's expression suddenly became indifferent, and his words were full of bitter coldness, as if he had changed someone, "Aunt Qiu has committed suicide in fear of sin, and my mother has gone crazy because of you, I also know your thoughts about Qing Kite, I hope you can leave." ”
Yun Jing smiled bitterly, "I've already left." ”
"I'm talking about resigning, leaving the country of Qi, and going to a place where no one knows you."
"Big brother! I have nothing left, and I never wanted to snatch the kite from you, so why should you kill them all. ”
"I just don't want to leave you with such a trouble, how do I know if there is you in Qingyuan's heart, and will you seduce/lure your sister-in-law and do something that is unconscionable!"
Listening to Yun Ting's harsh words, Yun Jing endured the sadness in his heart and forced a smile. "You already know your true identity, right, you've been a little bit true and a little fake to me all these years."
"Xiao Jing, you have been confused for so long, and finally you are smart, all these years, my kindness to you is all fake, I have long known my identity, I did this, just to gain your trust, and get what I want from you as soon as possible! That's my answer, I'm done, you can go, don't blame me for not caring about the brotherhood between us. ”
Yun Jing sneered and left silently. On the second day, Yun Jing did not go to the court, but only added a resignation letter on the bookcase in the emperor's imperial study. From that day on, the Qi country has lost a general, and the Yun family has no figure of this person who once caused everyone a headache. No one knew where he had gone, and no one had any news of him, and the man had disappeared from the continent as if he had evaporated from the world, leaving no trace.
Ten years later, in a battle with the enemy, Yun Ting suddenly took his family to the enemy country and led his soldiers to capture a large part of the territory of the Qi country. Everywhere he went, there was a river of blood, and the people were struggling to make a living, and Yun Ting went from a great hero revered by everyone in Qi to a bastard who people wanted to cut him with a thousand knives in their hearts.
One night before the Yunting Massacre, someone heard a slight noise in the Yunting tent, and in the early morning of the second day, the people of Qi found that Yunting's head was hanging on the city tower, and with his head hanging on the city wall, Yun Jing's Taihe sword.
Two months later, Yun Jing led 3,000 people from the rivers and lakes to support the Qi army, successfully recovering the lost city and driving the enemy army out of the border of Qi. Due to Yun Ting's rebellion, all 231 members of the Yun family except for Yun Jing were beheaded for public display.
In the third year of Peshuo, Yun Jing captured alive the Qing Kite who came to assassinate him in the military camp, and then divided his five horses into corpses.
Some people say that Yun Jing does a beautiful job of killing his relatives with righteousness, and some people say that Yun Jing does not miss family affection and has no humanity. But little is known about what happened during this period.
