Chapter 205: Xie Lang's Choice
In the cabin, Ji Ji knelt straight and looked up at Wang Zhen.
Wang Zhen froze, he lowered his head, and stared at Ji Ji with a complicated expression in the uncertain light.
He and Ji Ji are both smart people, and they know that the reason why Xie Lang has fallen into the hands of the emperor for so long and the emperor has not taken his life is because the emperor is jealous of Xie Lang's residual strength and Ji Yue, who is tied to Xie Lang.
In particular, if Ji Shi is Ji Yue, then her terrible is double.
When she is Ji's family, she will definitely be able to control Xie Lang's people, as long as she ascends to the heights, she can gather a large number of Xie Lang's followers, thus influencing Liu Song's rule, and as Ji Yue, she has the ability to communicate with ghosts and gods, and can easily shake the hearts of the people.
In other words, if the Ji family is not removed for a day, the emperor will not dare to kill Xie Lang for a day. He was afraid that because of Xie Lang's death, he would force the Ji family to rebel!
In the small cabin, neither of them spoke, only the sound of rapid breathing was heard.
I don't know how long it took, Wang Zhen whispered, "You get up." ”
In the dark, Ji Ji's eyes were very bright, and she slowly stood up.
Wang Zhen walked to the window with his hand, he turned his back to Ji Ji, and said in a low voice: "Three days ago, Your Majesty got the news that someone saw Ji Yue in the Yangtze River section of Shudi. Originally, His Majesty didn't believe it, but after Ji Yue made a prophecy, he had to believe it. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Zhen turned his head, he looked at Ji Yue, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty believes that Ji Yue has someone else, so he is not so jealous of you." However, you made up the matter of Ji Yue in Shudi, right? You can fool people about this. But they can't deceive me and Wang Su. ”
Wang Zhen took a deep breath and said slowly: "When I guessed that your Ji clan was Ji Yue, I also made some preparations. At this point, he closed his eyes and whispered, "In the early hours of the morning, a group of bandits will attack our boat, and at that time, you can take advantage of the chaos and leave......
As soon as Wang Zhen's voice fell, Ji Ji couldn't hold back for a long time.
Her words, she knew, sounded simple. But the stakes are too great. One copes badly. Not to mention the Qingyun Road in his later life, even his life is afraid that it will be difficult to protect.
Seeing Ji Ji's worried face, Wang Zhen was silent for a while, and said softly: "All along. I hope you are happy and happy......"
The voice fell. He strode towards the hatch. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared at the door.
After Wang Zhen left, Ji Ji slowly sat back on the couch. In the uncertain fireworks, she kept looking down and thinking.
After a while. Ji Ji called Chen Taichong's two parts and talked about it.
We're here in the blink of an eye.
Just on the Yangtze River, several boats suddenly emerged from the darkness, unknowingly surrounded the passenger boats, and when the murderous approach, in the chaos of the soldiers, Ji Ji quietly appeared on a sharp knife boat, and disappeared at the end of the sky in the night.
……
Ji Ji was sent to a fishing village by a sharp knife boat, and after less than three days of rest, the flying pigeons secretly sent by Chen Taichong spread to all corners.
Three days later, hundreds of people found the fishing village, and then, Xie Jing, who Ji had been unable to find, also appeared. Soon after Xie Jing appeared, he summoned a thousand soldiers and horses.
Under the protection of the tribes, Ji Ji led everyone to the direction of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and along the way, there was an endless stream of people who came to join her. And Ji Ji, through everyone, also released the rumor that she appeared in a certain place, and her Ji family is Ji Yue.
Just a month after Ji Ji was robbed by "river bandits" in the Suzhou River section, Ji Ji came to the border between the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Liu Song Dynasty and stationed there. At this time, there were 10,000 soldiers and horses following her.
Then, Ji Yue made a high-profile appearance on the border of Song and Wei. Ji Gaoguanbo, who appeared again, was domineering, although he lost a lot of weight, but he was like a cloud, and he was awe-inspiring at a glance.
Ji Yue did several things after he appeared, one is that when people asked about his relationship with Ji Ji, Ji Yue directly admitted that he and Ji Ji were originally the same person, he was originally a daughter, but because he was not resentful of Lang Xie Eighteen's contempt, he turned into a man and appeared in the court.
The second thing, in front of the people of the world, Ji Yue passed on the flying pigeon to invite Cui Xuan, the patriarch of the Qinghe Cui clan, the national teacher of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the largest family in the Northern Wei Dynasty, to come to meet, and Cui Xuan and Kou Qianzhi also readily agreed. At this time, the world heard that this Ji Yue had a life-saving grace for Cui Xuan.
The third thing, Ji Yue announced that he was pregnant with Xie Lang's child. It was also as soon as this news came out that it attracted countless followers.
It can be said that each of the three news announced by Ji Ji seems to be her personal matter. But when these three private matters reached the ears of Emperor Liu Song, he was furious!
But it turned out that the first news announced by Ji Ji not only explained her relationship with Xie Lang, but also clearly stated that Ji's was Ji Yue, which denied all kinds of rumors that circulated a few days ago, and even made her dual identity successfully arouse the emperor's jealousy.
As for the second news announced by Ji Ji, it was to directly threaten Emperor Liu Song with the Northern Wei people. Now, Ji Ji has soldiers and horses at hand, and she is close to the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty, so if she wants to rebel, the degree of harm will not be inferior to Liu Yikang!
As for the third piece of news, it shows her relationship with Xie Lang. If the emperor does something to Xie Lang, then the child in her womb will be Xie Lang's posthumous son. As long as she ascends to the heights and shouts, the admirers of Xie Lang over the years will be one after the other!
It was just three simple pieces of news, but it forced Emperor Liu Song to the edge of the cliff. Now, he has two choices in front of him, either continue to kill Xie Lang willingly, so that when Liu Yikang rebelled against Gangping and the national strength was weak, he forced the Ji family to rebel again, and then shook the country's foundation, and even led to the loss of the country. Or, he let Xie Lang go.
Such a choice seems to be without hesitation, after all, Xie Lang is a famous man in the world, and when he lets Xie Lang go, as long as Xie Lang promises to take care of his women and never rebel, he can have no worries.
But the problem is that the emperor captured Xie Lang, but he captured it in a very secret and without letting anyone know. Moreover, he is not prepared to judge Xie Lang in public. A dignified emperor, to deal with a celebrity, not only to catch is sneaky, when killing him. I don't dare to announce it to the public...... Such a villain's behavior and ghostly behavior will completely bankrupt the emperor's credit, and it will leave countless scoldings in the history books of future generations.
After being angry, Emperor Liu Song was restless, and after discussing with several close courtiers for a while, but to no avail, Emperor Liu Song walked towards the prison.
Not for a while. He appeared in a dungeon. The dungeon was built under a mountain peak. The entrance is very secret, and if no one leads the way, it will never be found.
In the blink of an eye, Emperor Liu Song came to Xie Lang's cell. For Xie Lang. The emperor was jealous and displeased. More or less because of his intelligence, there is some respect. So the cell where he lived. Not only is it cleaned up, but the skylight on the head is also opened, which looks very bright.
That's what Baume & Mercier is good about. Anyone who is on the right side doesn't have to worry about him sticking a knife in the back. As now, after Emperor Liu Song waved his hand and asked the prison guards to open the prison door directly, he didn't even bring his servants, so he paced in slowly.
At this moment, Xie Lang was reading, he was looking at the light coming in from the skylight, he was flipping through a roll of bamboo slips, seeing the emotion, and from time to time he was drawing something on the ground.
The Emperor walked up to him and stood still.
After a while, the emperor said, "Xie XVIII, do you want to know the news of your woman?" ”
Xie Lang slowly put down the bamboo slip in his hand and raised his head to look.
After looking at the emperor for a while, he smiled, and in a blink of an eye, Xie Lang said leisurely: "She saw through your layout and knows that I fell into your hands?" Speaking of this, Xie Lang smiled again, "Well, with Ji Auntie's personality, since she knows that I was caught by you, she must be unrelenting, so is she announcing the news that she is Ji Yue now?" Also got in touch with a few of her Northern Wei friends? ”
At this time, the emperor's face was already very ugly.
He took his hands, stared at Xie Lang for a while, and then said slowly: "Like Cao Mengde, I don't like people like Yang Xiu who are too smart. "But he is comparing Xie Lang to Yang Xiu.
When Xie Lang heard this, he couldn't help laughing. He lazily bent down to pick up the bamboo slip, and while flipping through it, he said leisurely: "I am much stronger than Yang Xiu, and he also wants to learn to become a martial artist and sell it to the emperor's family, but I, I only want to be at ease in my life." ”
Hearing the words "at ease", the emperor's heart moved.
At this time, Xie Lang said again: "I know what you are afraid of. After hearing about the methods I used in the Northern Wei Dynasty, you are afraid that I will also use those methods on you, right? It's a pity that you never understood that if I didn't care about the hardships of this life, I would have fought back the first time you killed me. How can His Majesty just be passive and defensive every time he makes a move? ”
As soon as Xie Lang's words came out, the emperor fell silent again.
After being silent for a while, the emperor suddenly said: "Then you should write a letter now, so that your woman can come back and be healthy, and there will be less stirring up trouble outside!" ”
Did this emperor take him for a fool? He didn't promise anything, so he wanted Ji Ji to come to Jiankang to die?
Thinking of this, Xie Lang burst out laughing, he looked at the emperor playfully, and said, "Your Majesty, although I can't bear to go through war again, I am not a foolish and loyal person. Besides, my woman has always been willful, and I can't fool her back! ”
Hearing Xie Lang's ridicule, the emperor's face was gloomy and terrifying at this time. He stared at Xie Lang expressionlessly for a long time before he said in a deep voice, "Then what are your plans?" ”
Intend? This emperor, who was forced to have no choice, did he come to ask him about this prisoner?
Xie Lang smiled, he knew that Guan Jian's negotiation had arrived.
At that moment, he put down the book and slowly sorted out his clothes, Xie Lang looked up at the emperor, and said with a solemn expression: "If Your Majesty wants to feel at ease with each other, Xie Lang has a suggestion here." When the emperor looked at it seriously, Xie Lang said slowly: "Your Majesty needs to make a decree, during the reign of the descendants of the Liu family, you must not kill Xie 18 and the Ji family!" ”
This is directly asking the emperor for his and Ji Ji's life talismans. The emperor is the most shameless, this kind of order issued in the form of a holy decree to the world, but he has no cheekiness to go back on his word.
The emperor's face changed dramatically.
He looked at Xie Lang coldly, and was about to mock, at this time, Xie Lang said slowly: "In exchange, Xie Eighteen can no longer be called a descendant of the Xie family of Chen County. ”
Almost as soon as Xie Lang's words landed, the emperor raised his head and looked at Xie Lang in disbelief.
The weight of the family in the eyes of everyone in this era far exceeds life. Xie Lang's words were lifeless than the position of the first person in the Xie clan of Chen County to the status of Xie Guangna and others. It can be said that at that time, in addition to Xie Lang's surname Xie, he can also sacrifice to the ancestors of the Xie family of Chenjun, and there will be nothing!
Of course, Xie Lang's kind of nothingness is undesirable for the emperor. You must know that once Xie Lang's words are implemented, at least ninety percent of those who originally admired him will be disappointed in him: in an era when the family is far more important than his life, he abandons the door in order to save his life, and it is inevitable that such a person will be disappointed.
As for the emperor, without Xie Lang supported by the Xie clan of Chenjun, he would be like a tiger with his teeth extracted, he would have the ability to reach the sky, and he could only be a rich idler.
In his cell, the Emperor's breath became rapid. He stared at Xie Lang with a complicated expression, and it was only at this time that he really believed that Xie Eighteen really had no ambitions, even a family like the Xie family of Chen County, he also said to throw it away!
After a long time, the emperor flicked his sleeves and said lightly: "I have to think about it." With that, he turned and walked out of the cell.
The emperor left with his front foot, and with his back foot, Xie Guang and others from the cell next to him rushed over, they looked at Xie Lang with wide eyes, their expressions were extremely complicated, and their expressions were both sad and indignant, and they were dazed and lost.
In this era, the family is the root of a person, and the status of the family is the bone of a person. Thinking about this world, how many sisters-in-law look up to Chen Jun Xie Eighteen idiotically? If they knew that Xie Shibai was no longer a descendant of the Xie clan of Chenjun, they were afraid that the light would be greatly reduced, right?
Facing the staring eyes of all the tribes, Xie Lang bent down, he picked up the bamboo slip of Zhuangzi's "Getaway" from the ground, and after patting his hand, he turned his head and looked at Xie Guang and the others brightly, and said in a leisurely tone: "Gentlemen, we are all no more than twenty years old. But in these short years, how many ups and downs have you experienced? How much fright have you experienced in this world? If there is a chance to let go of the ropes that bind you and me, what is there to be sad about? In the second half of our lives, if we can walk in the great rivers and mountains carefree, if we can go to Mount Tai to see the sunrise, and go to the East China Sea to enjoy the rising tide, what is the identity of the family, and what is there to be reluctant to? ”
In Xie Lang's words, he was full of the joy of being at ease. Xie Guang listened, his eyes lit up. He secretly thought: Yes, if one day I can get rid of this fetters and can swim in the magnificent mountains and rivers to my heart's content, how comfortable and happy would it be?
In fact, Xie Lang's departure from the branch has no impact on Xie Guang and others. The reason why they were in pain just now was because they felt sorry for Xie Lang. Now when I hear him say this, one by one I yearn for it. After all, over the years, they have experienced too much life and death with Xie Lang, and they are really a little tired.
