CHAPTER XII

When I returned to my cell, the fingers of my hands were still shaking.

It was originally a pair of plain hands, but at this time, it was deformed by the abuse of the stick and the silver needle, and the flesh and blood were blurred.

It hurts, ten fingers are connected to the heart, every time the clamp is tightened, every time the tip of the needle is pierced in, I feel a pain in my heart.

Because of the stubbornness in my bones, I didn't say a word.

I look forward to my father's return soon, and as long as he returns, I have hope.

But at the same time, I didn't want my father to come back, and I was afraid that something bad might happen.

So contradictory.

In the next two days, Governor Yin didn't come to trouble me again. Because of this, I was able to gradually summarize this series of events. Ziyan appeared, the refugees entered the customs, my father left, the hooligans made trouble, the refugees and Nalan He left, Biqiao died, Liu Ye appeared, and then the general's mansion was slaughtered overnight and I was caught red-handed and imprisoned. These seemingly accidental events have strung together the final inevitability.

What I don't understand is that the General's Mansion should be protected by secret guards, no matter how strong the martial arts are, how can it be possible to kill everyone in the General's Mansion silently?

This game is exquisitely arranged, the location is calculated, the timing is calculated, and the most terrifying thing is that the people's hearts are calculated.

The people in this layout are so ruthless.

Two days later, I finally met my father. I haven't seen my father for more than ten days, my father is old, full of white hair, and his expression is sad and tired, he came to the prison, stroked my cheek with his calloused hand that has been practicing swords all year round, and said slowly: "Mu'er, I've hurt you." ”

One sentence made my eyes red in an instant, and the grievances I had suppressed for many days were like a flood, and tears fell.

I crashed into my father's arms and said softly, "Father..."

Then I couldn't stop crying.

My father patted me on the back, gentleness he had never felt before. It is said that my father is a mountain, sheltering us from the wind and rain, and my father in my memory is much younger than now, when I was a child, when I did not listen to my master's teachings, he used to chase me all over the yard...... How could he not catch up with me, I know, this is how he hurts me.

My father always yelled at me because he gave all his tenderness to my mother, but even when I was yelling, I could feel my father's love for me.

Fortunately, in this world, my father is still there.

Father said: "Mu'er, promise my father, no matter what, you must live and live strongly." ”

I panicked, looked up and said, "Father, what do you mean by this?" Father, this is a trap, you must not be fettered by Mu'er, Mu'er has you and her mother in this life, it is enough. ”

My father touched my head and said, "For my father's life, even if I die on the battlefield, I will die well." Now, the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. Besides, your mother must be very lonely down there, and I can't bear it. ”

I opened my eyes wide and pulled my father helplessly with both hands: "Father, father, what are you talking about, Mu'er also misses her mother, don't leave Mu'er, you want to go, take Mu'er with you!" ”

When my father saw my scarred hands, a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes, but he said softly: "Your mother often told me that in the future, I would let Mu'er have a good home, a husband and children, and live a simple, ordinary and happy life. The father paused and continued: "Your eldest brother and the old and young are stationed at the border all the year round, although they eat and sleep in the open, but they also avoid entanglements in the world, after you leave the cell, you will call your second brother to join him, go to him, live well, and never return to the capital again." ”

"Father, father, we can go to the eldest brother together!"

The father smiled and said, "You have to wronged Mu'er to stay in this place for two more days, and after your father meets the king, you can go out." ”

I shook my head, not because of the environment, but because of the panic.

The reunion is always short-lived, the father turned to leave, and smiled at the cell boss before leaving: "Even if my general's mansion falls, Yu Wei is still there, and the little girl will stay here for two days, you must take care of it." I haven't seen Yin Yu's prefect yet, he dares to touch my daughter, I'm afraid that the official road is too smooth. From today onwards, if Mu'er makes another mistake, all of you will wait for the burial. ”

After a passage was finished, only the head of the cell stood there, trembling body, unable to return to his senses for a long time, this is the majesty of the general on the battlefield.

I sat down on the hay, and in a short time, food was delivered, compared to the clear water porridge of the previous days, today's meal was really several times better, with meat and vegetables, which made the prisoners around envious.

But at this time, I had no appetite, and all I could think about was what my father was going to do. What does my father mean when he says, 'The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die', and what will happen when he goes to see the king?

Back then, when the current monarch was still the crown prince, his father was already a general in the Northern Underworld, and he was deeply relied on by the previous monarch. In those years, my father and the previous monarch made the North Ming prosperous, and my father was a sharp weapon for the monarch, specifically for the monarch to solve internal and external troubles. Seven years ago, the previous monarch died of illness, and his father wrapped a white cloth for three years. The current monarch, the third son of the previous monarch, was able to ascend the throne smoothly with the assistance of his father. After the monarch ascended the throne, he canonized his father as the general of the Zhenguo and continued to assist the monarch. I can say without modesty that one-third of the credit for the current prosperity of the North Underworld is due to my father.

Could it be that it is because of his father's high merit that he has aroused the suspicion of the king?

I put my hands on the grass in discouragement, looked at the sunlight shining in from the opening, hated my weakness and prayed silently in my heart that my father would be able to get out of the way.
